MarChange in Taste
When I was a kid, I hated sushi. I refused to eat raw meats/seafood. You couldn’t pay me to each spinach of any kind (yeah, not even the yummy creamed spinach). Broccoli and cauliflower had to be cooked down to soft baby food texture for me to even attempt to want to try it. I drank milk 3 times a day. I couldn’t get enough papaya. I loved apple juice. But what about now? I LOVE Sushi! I LOVE raw oysters, raw fish, even this Vietnamese dish with shredded raw beef I don’t know the name of! I LOVE spinach… creamed and cheesy, or even raw thrown in a salad! I enjoy nibbling on broccoli and cauliflower raw for snacks, not even needing a dip. I rarely drink milk anymore unless I’m craving it(usually chocolate milk) or if I want some with cereal or cookies. I couldn’t care less about papaya, and apple juice is no where to be found in my fridge. Instead, I’ve fallen in love with clementines and cranberry juice! My tastes have change SO MUCH and it took me so long to even realize it! When I was younger, my dad made me try everything at least once, but if I didn’t like something, I simply would never eat it again. I’m not sure how or when my tastes began changing, but I’m so happy it has! Food is such a great thing to share, and being able to eat, and ENJOY, all types of food from all over is a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to see what other changes there are in store for me in the future, because not all changes are bad at all! Currently craving: Raw Oysters!

MarEpilating
The most painful experience of my life so far? The use of an EPILATOR!!! All the youtube reviews/videos I had watched said the pain was temporary and it amounts to a tickle after a few uses! LIES! I honestly believe getting my tattoo was less painful than epilating! No, I KNOW it was less painful! I didn’t think it hurt at all! But epilating? Goodness gracious! The results are phenomenal, don’t get me wrong… I love the results. They last me about 3-4 weeks before stubble reappears.
I didn’t think I wanted to write about this because it’s so weird/gross/awkward, but I thought I’d write a bit about my experiences for others looking into it…
I’ve been using my epilator since December now about once every 3 weeks. The amount of pain it inflicts has not changed a bit and it still hurts just as much as the first time. TIP For First Timers: Shave first, then epilate. Repeat epilating daily for the next week. Why do this? Well, epilating is essentially plucking each hair, removing it from the root. If you shave first, this gives you nothing to pluck. Hair doesn’t grow back all at once equally, so when you epilate following a shave, you won’t have as much hair to epilate. Aka… Less pain to go through, little by little, daily until you have epilated all the hair at least once. Afterwards, you’ll be evenly epilated and the hair should grow back MUCH slower. Now you can dive straight into epilating only, no need to buy anymore razors! yay! I’m definitely hoping the pain goes away soon, or at least I get so used to it I “forget.” But I don’t actually think that will happen anytime SOON… maybe in a few months after my hair grows back even thinner, and I’ve been epilating for a long while, but so far, No Pain, No Gain… I have waxed before, but to get results as smooth and long lasting, you really need to go to a salon, and the cost of that… well… a broke college student most definitely cannot afford it! As far as comparing the pain, waxing is obviously faster, but I feel like waxing pain leaves a tingle that lasts even after you finish. Epilating stops hurting the moment you stop. Just like plucking your eyebrows…
All in all, the pain is HORRID. But the results are SO WORTH IT. I’m glad I started now, because by the time summer rolls around, my legs will be smooth on the daily without having to worry about shaving again… EVER! So give it a try if you think you’d rather save money from buying razors, and save time from shaving constantly! I’ll def give an update when Summer begins and let you know if the pain has subsided or at least my pain threshold increases… Let me know if you have questions, I’d be happy to answer them, just inbox me!

MarWild Youth
Browsing through Pinterest and Tumblr, I re-ignited the urge to dye my hair crazy colors… I mean, I’ve always wanted to, but just never have… Now that I have a job… I can’t because of the dress code. All this made me realize… THIS is why you should live up your youth! BE WILD. ACT A FOOL. DO STUPID SHIT. Because the moment you grow up and have to find a job, get the job, and act with responsibility, you lose the opportunity to do so. I’m sooo glad I will only be working here for another few months, so my missed opportunities will soon be seized! :) First thing I do once I leave this job will be dying my hair! Because even though a marine biologist doesn’t have dress codes, I just don’t think anyone over 25 should be pulling off teal locks, and I want to do it while I still can. Also the fact that once I move, ‘ll have to find another job once I’m there, thus I’ll need the color to fade away before then… There will be plenty of time for me to have un-dyed healthy natural hair later down the road, but until then I want to enjoy the freedoms of being young, wild, and free. Embrace your youth. Don’t grow up too soon, because once you do, it’s hard to go back. Lesson Learned.

MarMY Life, NOT Yours
Why can’t people just let me do what I want with my life?!?!! >:( Today my uncle came over to help move a new fridge for the basement, asked my dad about me, and the two of them proceeded to have a discussion about my future and career choice…or should I say, no choice. I thought my dad already understood that I have always and will always want to be a marine biologist, but apparently not. He’s just being a good dad and trying to support me and my decisions. Well, I can’t take this! Fact is, I will never want to be a doctor, a lawyer, a business woman, an IT specialist, or any other typical money making Asian occupation there is out there!!! I will never want to sit in an office/cubicle from 9 to 5 everyday. I will never want to deal with customers, clients, or uptight people. And I will NEVER want to stop learning about the Ocean. How do I explain to these old time thinkers that I want more out of life than a simple, no brain needed, desk job that will keep a roof over my head and food on the table? I want to explore every crevice of coral reef. I want to feel the belly of a whale. I want to discover new species. I want to travel from sea to shining sea just to learn more about what lies beneath our giant oceans, lakes, rivers, and ponds! I understand they just want what’s best for me, and to see me succeed and thrive in life. But when will they understand that in order for me to thrive, I NEED to have a career I love and am passionate about?! It just hurts me that they don’t completely believe/have faith in me to survive and thrive in this world. But its not even that… I’m dissapointed that no matter what I say, do, or show them my love for the ocean and marine life, they will always think I could do better as something else… Yeah, it makes me want to work even harder to prove people wrong, but its more hurtful than motivating right now in a time where I’m already stressed about so much :( I guess there isn’t much I can do until later when I prove them wrong, so thanks for being an awesome place to vent and rant my feelings, tumblr!
