Apple is my stuffed bear

Kids always have that special stuffed animal that later becomes a sign of their childhood comfort. For me, my stuffed bear is an Apple iPod Nano, which later turned into an iPod Touch and finally into my iPhone. I'm used to Apple products, and so if I can, I'll lean towards getting them. I'll always lean towards something that makes me comfortable, mainly because I'm not someone who is willing to branch out and try new stuff. In fact, I'll probably get a Mac once I graduate and move out, because Apple just makes me comfortable. I like comfortable.

My name is Alandre, and I have two hometowns

I was born in Staten Island, New York, and so if I wanted to impress a certain group of individuals in a certain way I would tell them I am from Staten Island. Four months after I was born my mother and father returned to Korea, specifically to Daegu, the fourth largest city in Korea. I would say it was a good balance; I would satisfy my American dad by getting my fill of "America" at my English-speaking school, then would return home to satisfy my Korean mother by being immersed in the Korean culture the rest of the time.
