Finishing a book always leaves me with a bittersweet feeling.

The Time Has Come
I just let out a long sigh. Haven’t done that in years maybe. A part of me just wants to taunt my mom for the next 3 years, only to become what she wants me to become in the end. Just so I can say, “HA!” But the other half of me just doesn’t care what she has to say. It’s my life, if becoming a garbage man made me happy, why couldn’t she support me? Yes, I know...

Let's Be Frank Here,
I’m essentially wasting the next 3 years of my life in Stony Brook. It’s a mediocre SUNY university, and the courses aren’t as advanced, unless you’re on the pre-med or pre-health track. As an English major, I don’t see what SBU can offer me that can really make something out of me. Mmm… I guess in the mean time I can just study super hard and bring up my GPA,...
From Bourdain to Ripert, Ripert to Bourdain
For some reason, it just hit me NOW, that in order to be successful in any career, I have to perfect a skill. My ever so epi-curious interests has led me to Eric Ripert. What is up with these totally respectable, totally HOT, white-haired chefs?! He’s the executive chef at the coveted, 3 Michelin Stars awarded, Le Bernardin in New York City. What initially drove me to him was his looks,...

day 14- a picture of you and your family
I rarely take pictures because I never have the device to do so, so 100% of the time I rely on others with digital cameras to document the memories in my life. The same goes with family photos. It’s been a very long time since my whole family’s taken a group photo, and even if we had one of those big, family portraits, I wouldn’t be able to electronically upload it somehow...
day 13- a letter to someone who has hurt you...
Dear Bestie, In the words of Eminem, “that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcano, I just know that I love you too much,” perfectly suits our huge verbal fight that turned into a circus show for everyone around us to watch, LOL! I’m thankful that I can look back at the situation laughing now, but while it was occurring, it was anything BUT funny. It was the mix of...

Xanga was long gone, to no point of revival. I don’t remember exactly why I started a tumblr or how I even knew about it!

Mad: ^ same as above :)

day 09- something you’re proud of in the past few...
Re-found my passion for drawing fashion-art sketches. Bought markers, a new sketch pad, and three mini canvas’ as my creative tools!! :) Been sketching with black pen + markers, then realized my skills are so cruddy. I already ripped out the first 4 pages of my sketch pad because I can’t draw faces and legs properly :(. Ultimately, I hope my sketch pad will document the progress I make...

Aside from God and my famiry,
Mark Jdsn :) He’s seen me at my best, and at my most vulnerable times. He’s been there for me for the most pivotal, growing phases in my life. He was much too unappreciated by me, so this one’s for you! For all those times I came whining and bitching to you, and also for all the great memories we had at my 2nd home, NYPPC.
day 06- favorite super hero and why
Sailor Mars because…
1. My favorite color is RED 2. She has long, black hair with bangs just like me. 3. She’s the only one who wears red pumps :) 4. She bullies Serena (Sailor Moon) 5. She’s sassy and fiesty

day 02- the meaning behind your tumblr name
One day I dreamt of unicorns taking over this world. There were endless fields covered in poppy flowers and dandelions. Then a giant caterpillar came to me and called me over to have brunch with him. Brunch consisted of mostly red meat like beef tenderloin, hence the name ginachung.tumblr.com.
day 01- a recent picture of you and 15 interesting...
1. I’d like to think of my life as a game of chess. My acquaintances are all my pawns, I can get them to do what I want, with just a little bit of convincing. They don’t mean much to me, so I can dispose of them easily. My close friends are my bishops, knights, and rooks. They’re my everything who keeps me grounded and guarded. They have done above and beyond for me, and...

A New York Minute (pictures will be up soon)
As I exited Port Authority to the concrete streets of Manhattan, I pulled out my cigarettes as if by instinct. I didn’t waste any time getting my legs to walk at a pace truly fit for a native New Yorker. I abruptly stopped for two seconds to light up my cigarette, then took no time scuffling away before I stopped again at the stop light. In this New York minute, I took in all of my...
