"Im fucking sick of people treating Asians and Asian culture as a joke. Were not here for your entertainment. Asians dont generally face the same brand of racism that African Americans or Hispanics might, and in that sense were lucky. I dont generally have to worry about being attacked because of my race, and Im thankful for that. But lets be clear racism towards Asians...

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo lately - I don't currently have any. I have nothing against tattoos, I've just never felt compelled to get one until now, and I'm not sure why - I guess I just feel like I need something to add some variety to my life. I want to get it across my chest, but I haven't decided on it...

Today I watched a Japanese remake of the film Ghost. It was entertaining enough, but it was a bit anti-climactic given the fact that I already knew what was going to happen (due to having seen the original, obviously), but it was still a good way to kill a couple hours. Also, Nanako Matsushima is as gorgeous as ever and the little girl who...

I hope one day down the road we bump into each other so I can shove it in your face.

Is that a bad way to think of things? On second thought, maybe I dont even want to shove it in your face. Maybe I should just be satisfied with my success and satisfied knowing that I did everything you wrongly assumed I wouldnt.

Someone on Tumblr wrote this, and I liked it so much I'm going to post it here.

"if you ask me 'what kind of Asian are you?' or 'where are you really from?'

or bray that stupid 'CHING CHANG CHONG' gibberish in my face,

you're a platitudinous bitch and you can fuck right off.

i am American. my mom is Korean and my dad is...

After a night to clear my head, I realized that getting rejection emails is actually a good thing - it means that theyve at the very least LOOKED at my resume and taken the time to respond to it if not consider it, instead of just deleting it and ignoring me. You're going to be rejected 99 times out of 100 when applying for jobs;...

Job rejection stinks. I know its a natural part of adult life, but I always hate getting that email that says no.

Im in a catch 22 with my career; I have outside working experience (outside of school) but not really outside of my field. I want to do something outside of my field, but I cant get a job in a different field unless...

I'm lamenting the fact that it's already September. 2013 has gone by so fast...and it's been just another meaningless year in my somewhat-meaningless life so far. I'm getting older, and I still haven't accomplished what I wanted to do by the time I was this age. Sometimes I feel like a real failure in life...

And why is it still hot outside? Ugh. I hate...

I'm back in class (my first class of the new semester started yesterday). Ahhhhh! But seriously, I'm almost done - just one more semester and I'll have my masters. Hopefully this will allow me to leave DC. These late classes are hard to do, though - I don't get home until late at night, and I have to wake up early in the morning for...
