home time.

my time at home was a month ago, but it feels like yesterday. january has been an exceptionally slow-moving month, so here's what happened not-yesterday:



firstly, i had a super long layover in seoul. it's now one of my favorite airpots for super long layovers. there's a huge lounge on the second floor with lots of places to just sit and relax/rest. i got my nails done, and then i found the hello kitty cafe! it was a pretty perfect layover. i also got totally caught up on my shows.



after some time in california (in which i took NO pictures, so unlike me!), i had just over a week at my home sweet home. and with that came a white christmas!! yes. my two trips home now have been timed so perfectly that i got to experience justenough of the four seasons. i'll skip spring, but that's okay.



i got this magical disney princess bag for christmas, and i got to spend so many days with my favorite person!



the little dog was, by all accounts, her normal little dog self.



i also brushed up on my jenga skills.



coming back, i went through amsterdam. the airport of cheese. and yes, that means i did do my first around-the-world trip. magical.



eventually though, i made it back. and once i got back, christmas was gone and chinese new year decor has taken over!




my mom got me a cookbook for christmas, so now i have been trying to cook more at home. for starters, some star wars pancakes. and then sweet and sour chicken! the churros, however, were delightful and came from la boca, a restaurant here. someday i'll make my own churros!
