Beatriz & me at Cardiff Castle |
It’s been a really long time since I’ve updated, but I’m slowly getting around to keeping the gallery up to date. This quarter has kind of been really hectic, but fun nevertheless. Additionally, I’ve finally finished uploading all of the pictures from my summer abroad. Getting to the last photo was definitely bittersweet. I still can’t believe it’s over & that it’s been 3 months since I was there. Coincidentally, the last picture taken was of a lake with gloomy weather & rain pouring. Reflective of how I felt upon returning to California? I’d say so. Just kidding, that’s pretty over dramatic. But really, … can I be back there already?? Since I’m in a rush, I don’t exactly have time to post up some of my favorites from each album, so a list of the new gallery updates will have to do for now!

Hope everyone in the States had a wonderful & tasty Thanksgiving! I’m so thankful for my family, especially my parents for always being so supportive, & my friends who have become my family. Since my mom likes to read my blogs, I’d like to take the time to thank her for being the most beautiful, wonderful, amazing, & gregarious mother in the world. Thanks for always spoiling me with your love, delicious food, & support, even when I don’t deserve it. You are the reason I got into UCLA & dad is the reason I’m ambitious. My love, respect, & admiration for the both of you is immeasurable. When I was asked to write a piece for Miso for Life about love, my immediate thought was to write on the love you have for one another & for your children. No other pair of people have influenced my life so greatly & I thank you every day, constantly, for giving me so many opportunities to succeed. I look forward to the day in which I can repay you for all you’ve done for me. Mom, I’m not giving up on medical school just because some science classes are tough. It’s going to take a lot more than that to derail my goal. Love you!

Hey, Tiff! How’ve you been? π
The view in that photograph looks absolutely stunning. It looks like quite a busy city π
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well~
Tiff
Thanks Sunny! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving as well. Happy holidays!
Carrie
I definitely had a tasty and thankful Thanksgiving! We had lots of great food! I stuffed myself π
Seems like you and your mother have a great mother-daughter relationship. I wish my mother and I were close π My fiancΓ© says we’re too much alike; this is why we don’t get along all the time.
I hope to see more posts from you soon! π
Tiff
Aww :/ I’d imagine if my mom were more like me, we might be closer, but we also might have the worst fights too haha. My mom is really different from me. She’s a lot more easy going, but also veryyyy high maintenance. It’s never too late to try to patch things up with your mom & try to get closer to her. I wish you a very happy holiday season & an improved relationship between you & your mother. π

I’m almost dreading my chance to do a study abroad program because I know I’ll miss it sorely. It’s great that you had a memorable time over there.
Those were sweet words for your parents. And it sounds like you are studying hard. Good luck on your schooling!
Tiff
Thanks for the kind words & comment, Cami! Don’t dread it because that feeling will go away so quickly when you’re there wherever you’re studying. Then when you get home, you can do all the missing & weeping hahaha. Have fun now, cry later. My philosophy. π
Liza
The note to your mom is so sweet! π
CALIFORNIA. WHAT??!!
Is your study abroad program over? D: I would be extremely sad. I wouldn’t want to leave Europe.
… At least I don’t think I would. >.>
Tiff
Yeahhh π My study abroad program ended a long time ago, I was just really in denial of it being over hahaha. I WANT TO BE BACK.
