{event} uc davis graduation 2013

Posted in foodie, my life by

Two weeks ago, I was working on a graduation speech with one of my sixth students. We centered it around Mahatma Ghandi’s quote, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” I mean, the first part is pretty obvious, right? (If not, think YOLO.) And I truly believe in the second part – education, whether it’s in a classroom or not, is important to work on continuously. This weekend, Tina and I headed back to our college town to celebrate some of our friends’ big moment in life aka college graduation.

Congrats Tony and Ly! The main reason Tina and I were in Davis this weekend was to watch these two walk across that stage. Tina made them a new sign so they wouldn’t have their Happy Birthday sign up still, hahah.

{event} foodie weekend

Posted in foodie, my life by

After I got food poisoning back in March, I tried to eat healthier. Key word: tried. Even when everyone started counting down the months, weeks, and days until EDC, I mentally tried to get myself to work out and eat clean to get that “Vegas body”. But honestly, I just found myself to eat more and sit in front of my computer more… not cool! Just kidding – I love food to much to ever stay away from it for too long. Just looking back at this weekend, my stomach is in quite a happy place!

001 hot potFriday night, Tina and I were supposed to go to Oakland/SF for Korean BBQ, but we decided to just stay around the Fremont area and met up with Allen for some hot pot at Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot. Not only did Tina and the hostesses have a good laugh before we were seated, we also had a cool server. Food was so good! The meat combo is such a deal – a whole plate of meat for around $12! (And those meatballs were super delicious.)

{event} sushi and boba night with pbaby will

They say Alpha Phi Omega can give you a lot of things – the skills to be a leader, the ability to do service to better not only yourself but the community, and the network to gain bucket loads of friends. For someone who graduated college (okay, not even recently…), the one thing that made me really thankful for Alpha Phi Omega is the friendships that I’ve made along the way. My closest friends are all friends I’ve made in my years in Alpha Phi Omega. And one of the bonds I cherish the most is the one I have with my pledge babies.

{event} alpha phi omega: cheng class banquet

Posted in foodie, my life by

Weekend getaways to Davis (or anywhere) are actually the best. For two days, I can not worry about work, classes, or anything “adult life” related. This weekend, I headed up to Davis solely to support Rich, who is in my Alpha Phi Omega line, because he was Banquet Chair this term. But before going to Davis…
