Best. Weekend. EVAR.

So we went to Atlanta this past weekend to see The Flaming Lips.

Now, I've seen a handful of shows . Van Orsdels, Shack Shakers, Ladytron, Datarock, Broken Social Scene... I've never been to any sort of mainstream concert (although I think I would like to go see Lady Gaga one day). This was hands down the BEST show I've ever been to. It even trumps the Gogol Bordello show I went to a couple summers ago. It was beautiful. There were rainbows everywhere! Huge rainbow balloons, rainbow confetti, rainbow lights, hot girls dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, hot guys dressed as the Cowardly Lion and Tin Man, Teletubbies... and we were COMPLETELY sober!! We didn't even drink once. It was simply the greatest and most beautiful thing I had ever experienced.

AND it was magical as well... I dropped my iPhone, ID, debit card and bus passes all over the floor during the opening song, when everyone was jumping and dancing around. I miraculously found everything underneath everyone's feet. And no one had stomped on my phone. Crazy I tell ya.

These pictures do the concert NO justice at all.



I also had hot pot for the first time. It was amazing and delicious and maybe my new favorite food ever. It's sad that we don't get hot pot anywhere close to Miami... I've decided that I have to live somewhere with a very large Asian population when I move out so I can get my Asian food/grocery fix.

Just updated my website with a few more projects! Check em out...


More big news: I'll be going to Atlanta this weekend to see The Flaming Lips! I'm so excited!! They've been one of my favorite bands ever since the beginning of high school. They'll be playing The Soft Bulletin, which is my favorite album too. Maybe I'll be getting some shabu shabu and getting some groceries at H-Mart, as well as some trampoline jumping... I'll have to post up pictures when I'm back.

Spaceman Sam!

I made a book for my Studio II class. It's about a space explorer named Sam. It's an interactive (lift-the-flap, pull tab, etc) book for children ages 3-7.

"Growing in your mommy's heart instead of her belly"

This is an old project I revisited for my portfolio. It's an informative poster/mailer about international South Korean adoption. The topic is really close to my heart, as I am a South Korean Adoptee. Researching and working on this project was very emotional for me and I found myself getting choked up during the critique! Definitely one of my favorite projects.

Is this real life?

I'm finally cracking down on myself. Intense work mode INITIATED fo realz this time. Gonna keep up with this blog, finish my portfolio too, omg I'm going to be a real grown up and responsible. Here's my really scary to-do list for this upcoming week... not that it really means anything to anyone other than me, but look how much stuff I have to do D':


I also made a bunch of cards for Mother's Day... my dad thought they were amazing - he wouldn't stop gushing about them. Then I told him that when I get married I'd make my own wedding invitations and he didn't really respond hahah. He probably got worried thinking about me getting married.


I came home for Mother's Day weekend and I've definitely gotten more done here at home than I would have at school... which is weird, because I turn into super lazy blob mode whenever I go home. This must be a sign!

My first package redesign

I'm nervous for critique! Ahhh

I redesigned the packaging for Quaker Granola Bites. They come in 3 flavors: chocolate, cinnamon and peanut butter. My favorite is the chocolate. Overall I'm really happy how these turned out.
