WHO I AM MATTERS

Where do I come from?
I come from a small, unknown city in the bay area called Cupertino. Well, at least it WAS unknown until a certain company put it on the map. I'm just kidding. It's still unknown. I usually just introduce myself as someone from the bay area.

(I use an android by the way)

Where am I going?

To buy some pearl milk tea! (Not really, but have to stay true to my blog name)

How do I plan to get there?
Two words. Free. Lyft. (At least until I switch Lyft drivers at the free border)

How am I like my parents?

I love to travel! Really glad to have had the opportunity to live in other countries by myself. (Shoutout to 日本 and 中国)

How am I UNLIKE my parents?

I don't think they know what pearl milk tea is.

Have you developed expectations for yourself?

I would say I developed expectations for myself once I got into college. At first, it stemmed from the added responsibility of living/traveling alone, but eventually morphed into a set of expectations or standards I set for myself in terms of academics, exercise, and life. 

Stephen Curry serves as a model of someone who lives life with great passion and responsibility. As an avid basketball player and fan (Golden State, of course), Curry influenced me to become a hard worker, which has become a vital part of who I am.  He also influenced me to become REALLY good at shooting 3 pointers. 

I feel a special connection with the sloth. Thanks Zootopia.

Describe a significant childhood encounter with a tree or a plant.

Well, technically tapioca pearls comes from a plant. All joking aside when I was young, my neighbors had these massive palm trees in their front yard. Every time I would be on my way back from school, the palm trees would act somewhat like a landmark signaling that I'm about to reach home. Although looking back, those palm trees were pretty random and out of place. Not quite sure what type of aesthetic they were going for.

(That's not the house, but it reminded me of how ridiculous it looked)
