i love buldak if you couldn't tell! i ate this while taking a break from studying for my ap chem exam. it was a very nice break i must say. i added kimchi, spinach i think, leftover wingstop, and ham. yes very weird combo indeed but i was hungry and i deserved it after studying for that darn test. HOWEVER my hard work was worth it because scores released today (7/7/25) and i got a 5 on both my exams!!! YAYYY!!! i used to get really sad when studying for chem because i was convinced i wouldn't get a 5 and i thought my hard work would amount to nothing, but it didn't!!!! i proved to myself that hard work will get me where i want to be which is why i have been working super hard this summer for math olympiad. I WILL QUALIFY FOR AIME PLEASEEEEEEEEE

i used to use my physical planner a lot to write down every single task i had to do everything. i really like keeping myself busy so i overload myself with tasks because i feel good about myself if i get all of them done! i also just like the cluttered aesthetic for my planner. i would include a photo of my journal spread but it includes some personal stuff so maybe not lol...i will probably start using my planner again when school starts because lately i've been slacking off. i made a new planner on notion and i kinda like it because i don't have to pull out my planner when i have to write down a task and it's very easy to customize. i really like physical stuff though and i have so many stickers that are waiting to be used!! to journal or not to journal is the question...

this is me with chips and guacamole! i freaking love chips and guacamole it's so good like i love the little onion pieces in the guacamole cus i love onion and then the crunch of the chips makes everything better. i got this fresh from the market too and i haven't been there in a while cus it's kinda far from my house but if i ever get the chance to revisit, i definitely will be buying these chips and guacamole again. RAHHHH

my desk with my awesome figurines and the worst thing to ever exist right behind them on my monitor! jk aps are cool i guess...they give me college credit and save me money sometimes i guess...i included this photo so you guys could see how awesome my desk setup is also look at my pencil case. i love my pencil case it's so nice. i really like all the stickers and it's very kimberly vu! also the little drawing in the back with the flower and the heading "oxidation rules" was something i made at the library when i was bored. i was going to add all the oxidation rules but i got lazy and just decided to keep the drawing as it is. it's kinda funny cus it's just a random flower with the words "oxidation rules" hahahahahaha so funny

hehehehehe buldak. i have quite the photos of buldak in this gallery cus i didn't know what other photos to include since i don't really go outside and take that many photos. for all the other buldak photos you will just see what was included instead of some yap. cheese buldak with kimchi, bok choy, cucumbers

me with my cute little hello kitty funko pop! this nerd hello kitty was on sale when i came across it on amazon so of course i had to buy it. i personally think it resembles me very well. do you see it mwehehehe. well i don't wear black glasses anymore because i had to revert back to my higher prescription glasses cus i kind of lost one of my ortho k contacts during ap season which is the worst possible time to lose it but anyway i will be getting a new pair soon so i can revert back to the black glasses! i want cat eye glasses they look nice and fit my face shape

my VERY awesome math olympiad studying notebook. also look at my fire desk setup well actually you can't really see it but i put a keychain on my little storage container cus it looks cute. anyway i've been reading vol 1 of the art of problem solving because it has a lot of basics for math olympiad and i've been breezing through it! i think i could finish by next week if i lock in this week. i also need to read vol 2 and then intro to counting and probability and probably the intermediate version and then maybe the intermediate version of alg and then... number theory... the worst of them all...jk number theory is interesting. wow talking about this is making me excited i just can't wait to learn harder math and hopefully qualify for aime please please please.

these are examples of some of the chem cheat sheets that i made for the ap test! it actually really helped because it summarizes all the information and helps me see the big idea of the unit and how everything comes together and connects. like without those sheets i wouldn't have been able to see the different types of cases for calculating pH and pOH levels and when to use the right method to solve buffer equations and let's just say those two concepts really helped me with a lot of questions on the ap chem test because i was super confident with my answers!!! YAY!!! i also used this method in middle school to study for alg 1 and it is my forever go-to method for studying i love making summary cheat sheets <3.

very very pretty lilies and tulips that i bought for my friends' confirmation! my favorite flowers are lilies and my friend's favorite is also lilies meaning we are interlocked at heart. i hope one day someone gets me lilies because they're so pretty but they're also really bad for cats and they could literally kill my precious little baby if she as much as sniffs it. grrrr

me and my awesome proofs book! i got this book for my birthday and i really freaking appreciate the friend who got it for me because a math book is everything to me!!! i have also been wanting to learn proofs for a while so it was very fitting. also the book just feel so nice to read because the paper quality is really good and it's the perfect size and i LOVE IT. also i'm currently taking notes with the book and they're very pretty. also i'm taking this free summer program for learning proofs and combinatorics and i wrote my first couple of proofs last week and i'm really proud of myself because i was able to come up with the solutions by myself!!! i can't wait to write more proofs and learn more math is so fun :3

i really love this kind of fashion aesthetic it's just so cutesy and perfect and i love it. i don't have a lot of shirts that pertain to this specific aesthetic but i have enough to make it work. i think i've finally found my fashion style because i used to wear clothes that didn't look super flattering on me but then i started wearing these kinds of clothes and styling my clothes differently and i'm very happy with how my style is now! i have also been thrifting quite the clothes on depop and my closet will be almost perfect by the end of summer :)

you might think this is buldak but i bamboozled ALL OF YOU! it's actually the ottogi spicy stirfried cheese ramen. if you're an avid buldak lover then you can tell that the noodles are slightly thinner than actual buldak noodles. anyway the taste was pretty good but i feel like i'm making them incorrectly or something because they don't have a super strong taste. i think i've been adding too many ingredients and watering down the noodles too much so next time i make it i'll make it the right way because they're actually pretty good but just missing a little spark

another outfit that i really like! i don't wear skirts often because i have never been able to style them but then i put on this outfit and i was like "WOW this is the first outfit i've ever made that makes skirts look good on me! i am so happy!" i've never worn this in public though because i've just never found the occassion but i'll wear it to my next hangout!!! if the aesthetic is right for whatever i'm doing!!!

my glorious beautiful silly nilly cat!!! her name is jade and if you went through my other website you would know that already. she's a bit fat and that is honestly my fault. i need to get her more toys that are engaging so she can move around and hopefully lose some weight! anyway she's very snuggly and whenever i sit next to her she starts purring and moves to get closer to me and sleep on me she's such a sweetie pie i love her so much. whenever i wake up and she's in a cute little pose i take a photo. i have a ton of photos of her in my bed in the morning because she always looks cute

i went to my friend's complex to run because it was like 9pm and i still needed to get a run in for cross country or else my coach would not be very happy so i ran at her complex gym on a treadmill and honestly i kinda like the treadmill. my runs feel really short whenever i run on a treadmill and it's probably because i'm running in one spot but then it's really boring and i get dizzy easily when i'm on it. last time i watched modern family while running and my head hurt pretty fricking badly after i finished but it's okay! anyway after the run i was really craving orange juice because i crave fruits after i run so my friend got me some inside this really cute cat cup and i took a photo

my game consoles!!! the big cinnamoroll themed one is the best thing i've ever owned in my entire life it is so freaking perfect. i get to play video games and listen to music at the same time while in the comfort of my bed. AND the graphics are super super good on it i love it so much. i got it for christmas and i could not be happier. also i got some steam games for free cus of the athena award LOL that's what i've been spending all my artifacts on. i'll probably continue coding projects just to get more steam games because i don't wanna feel guilty about spending money on something that isn't super productive. steam games is a really good incentive to make me code. building my portfolio is also another incentive i guess but...steam games...hehehehehe....

my favorite kind of buldak aka kimchi!!! i was deprived of this flavor for so long and it tasted so freaking good when i ate it last thursday. i eat buldak once a week by the way i've been trying to restrict it to two weeks for the sake of my health and for my sport since i need to be healthy to run fast. anyway this buldak had my favorite smoky sausages, water spinach, bok choy, and kimchi!

DOLE WHIP!!! the best freaking thing to ever exist it's actually so good. i wish i could get dole whip from the store i'd eat it everyday. i can only get it when i go to disney and that's like once a year UGHHHHHH. i don't really like going to disney anyway cus the price of the food makes me kind of mad like what do you mean i paid 23 bucks for a sundae that was pretty mid and had nothing special??? and it was small for the price too UGH whatever it's okay...no it's not i still think about it. i could've spent those 23 dollars on steam games. math books. stickers. stationery. OH MY GOSH i need to stop i'm gonna make myself more disappointed

a BEAUTIFUL FREAKING FIREWORK oh my gosh guys i love fireworks so much you don't understand i should've included a section for fireworks on my other website but like july 4th is one of my favorite holidays because i love seeing the fireworks and it's nice being with other people like even if they're strangers i just love how we're all admiring the same beautiful thing despite our differences! fireworks are pretty bad for the environment though so it makes me really sad that my favorite thing ever harms the thing i advocate for UGHHHH. also did you know that rubidium is my favorite element on the periodic table because it makes purple fireworks and purple is one of my favorite colors so it's LITERALLY THE BEST ELEMENT EVER!!!!

this is my favorite outfit that i've ever compiled. if you don't like it then oh well but it really really like it. buying that cardigan was the best decision of my life because i've made so many new outfits that i couldn't make before and it makes everything look complete! i also really like the floral top the colors on it are so nice and the blue is my favorite type of blue and i love those shades of pink and blue together and there's hints of green too it's so pretty!!!!!! i can't wait to wear this outfit again it makes me feel so pretty and like a princess

MY BEAUTIFUL CAT ONCE AGAIN! this is another photo i took in the morning as you can tell from the sunlight coming from my window and shining onto my glorious cat. i love when she's in this pose because she looks so cute ughhhsofhawg

buldak once again! this was the cheese flavor with water spinach i think??, ham, mushrooms, and the best sausages ever

YOGURT!!! i always get ice cream whenever i go to yogurtland or another yogurt place but i also get the other flavors too but i mostly get ice cream lol. i also like getting gummies because it just tastes so good when it's cold and covered in vanilla ice cream. also i tried the chia pudding at this place and chia pudding is actually really yummy. i think i'll start eating it more if i want to get my fiber in. also i got this yogurt with my friend on the best day of my life ever. i will not elaborate on why but it was a very very good day.

this is me kissing the best ice cream popsicle i've ever freaking had. i love orange creamsicle it is the best flavor ever and when i first took a bite which was in this photo i was flabbergasted. it was everything i had been searching for in ice cream. also it tastes really similar to this orange yogurt drink in vietnam that i miss so badly and want to bring home to the us but i can't. it's the perfect substitute for the best drink that i can only have in a country thousands of miles away from me

this is a silly little playdoh burger cat that i made for an english project! we had to make imaginary friends out of playdoh because we were learning about the importance of play and creativity. let's just say my english teacher is really cool and chill and knows what it means to be a teacher! anyway i really liked my creation and i had a math test that day so my burger cat sat at the corner of my desk and it was really nice having a companion by my side. also i tried air drying it so it would be a permanent thing but as you know playdoh cracks and is ugly when it dries so the eyes fell off and burger cat died...if i ever get back into polymer clay which i probably will after this project i will recreate my best buddy :)

this photo was on my other website but it really summarizes how much i love math so of course i had to include it again!!! i love all kinds of math topics and i love buying textbooks for all my interests and i just really love learning math and exploring math and discovering the small theorems and applying them to big concepts and i love how everything is connected and how math is applied to literally every field UGH i need to finish this project asap so i can go do some math i am literally craving to do math right now. when i'm not home i get the biggest urge to do math like it's kinda weird. i also get the urge to code but i get the urge to do math more. like math math math math...ykwim okay i sound crazy i'm gonna stop now

my cinnamoroll stuff! this was also included in my other website but how could i make a gallery without including picture evidence of my cinnamoroll obsession??? i have a lot more cinnamoroll themed stuff and when i go to vietnam i plan to get even more. there's these pins that i really want to buy so i can put them on my new backpack and i hope i get cinnamoroll because it's really cute. i don't even know how this obsession started i didn't even watch hello kitty as a kid. i just saw cinnamoroll one day and was like "wow...he's perfect...i need 10 cinnamoroll themed things NOW!"

well this is the end of the gallery but i decided to include a photo of my treadmill run just because i think running is a very big aspect of who i am as a person and it's also the reason why i don't stay at home and do math and code all day. this was an 8:08 pace which is actually really fast for me since during the school year i was running 9 min pace for pretty much every run. i guess i've just been improving more!! also i am like one of the oldest on the team so i need to be fast sigh. it's kinda cool to see my improvement though like last year i could run a lot of miles but at a slow pace and when i mean slow i mean like 11 min pace and now i can run 9 min pace and under!!!! i am so proud of myself i hope i get much faster this year
