another day at work:

char: philip, i'm going back home next week for Mardi Gras!
me: oh really? hey what's up with Mardi Gras anyways? what are they celebrating?
char: well, in New Orleans, there are these...blah blah blah...my father is really sick...blah blah blah...you see, Catholoics...blah blah blah...balconies with alotta stupid people...blah blah blah...look at these bracelets...blah blah blah...alcohol drive thru's...blah blah blah...my husband has one...blah blah blah...confirmation...blah blah blah...Fat Tuesdays...blah blah blah...(30 min. later)...I LOVE MARDI GRAS!
me: oh.

today, my friends, pat (tap) and daniel (dykas), came over to play some chess after reading my blog. pat obviously talked the most crap and also lost the quickest. today, i found out that dykas was some kinda chess champion or something so i was pretty excited to play him after he beat sharkface. dykas plays pretty fast and he's pretty good. we both won and lost once...I'M COMING DYKAS! LOL.

i come upstairs with an orange.
pat: dude phil, why do you ALWAYS eat oranges? what are you...orangeman?
(laughter).
pat: hey, lemme get some!

*sigh* it's a wonder how i became friends with that guy.

lauri: gosh, i'm so proud of lauri! it's soooo incredibly hard to not copy hw at Mills b/c it's like a sin if you don't. if people ask you for hw and you say no, they think you're gay. hang in there lorebadore...only have 2 more years to go!

chang & jomo: stop talking about such things! INAPPROPIATE you hear?!

i-fang: you have fully convinced me to NEVER become a writer! (you'll be alrite!). smallville episodes! oh thank you so much! just for that, i think i'm going to say hi to a chinese person tomorrow. =D

grendel: you poor poor thing!

Thought of the Day: Oranges are cool. Pat & health teachers are gay.

folks, here was the proof i was talking about:

II sUnGhEe II: yes i smell like corn!
yes! no more flashing duffman banner! praise God!
ok, i'm having one of those uneventful days again. i seriously hate these days more than anything b/c it affects your mood too! you start doing things you normally wouldn't do-read your own blog over and over, finish your homework before 7:00, chat with people like lois, eat eat eat, watch tv (i NEVER do this!), download whatever you can think of, check other blogs every 5 min., and finally just MAYBE play with your sibling. this is so sad...mother's gone, car's available, i got paid today, and here i am blogging this early! i am in great need of prayer!

yes, i have still been playing chess with simon every night. i can now say that i am a better chess player than he is. gosh, that ugly kid used to humble me every single game however, THE TABLES HAVE TURNED HAVEN'T THEY SHARKFACE? well, since the curse of boredom has come upon me tonight, i'll be destroying simon's ego in chess ALL night looooooong!

dude, what the heck is up with the weather these days?! i've been freezing my balls off every morning! i heard it's down to like 28�� in eastbay these days...now THAT is unacceptable! it angers me when i see girls at school wearing t-shirts and shorts just so that they can show a little skin. i don't care how pretty you are, HERE'S A QUARTER! GO BUY YOURSELF A JACKET!

i was talking on the phone with my friend last night who i haven't talked to in a while. he was going on and on about his problems (as always) and then he asked how i was doing. to my surprise, i realized that my life has been pretty problem-free for a loooooong time! i mean there's alotta stupid stuff that happens here and there but after some reflection, i realized that my life's been pretty "relaxing." also lately, a few of my friends have been telling me that they envy me so much! they say that i'm always happy and my life seems to be perfect b/c i'm always "keeping it together." i honestly believe that God has been so incredibly good to me in my teenage years. he's always provided me with everything that i seriously need, and sometimes a few extra things. i also noticed that life becomes harder every year, but God blesses me so much more at the same time! i'm sure you guys can relate to what i'm saying. GOD IS SO GOOD. GOD IS SO GOOD. GOD IS SO GOOD. HE'S SO GOOD TO ME!

terrance-hey, why don't you come on over and entertain me? please?...i love you?
lois-you're not allowed to mention me in your blog anymore until you take that shower of yours! (and yes, you MUST use soap!).
gary-thanks for turning off that garbage in your blog.

Thought of the Day: I still need to find the last two episodes of Smallville!

mother left for korea today. things to do:

1. PARTY!
2. take the car out EVERY single night. (even if it means just driving around the block).
3. go to todai's (since no one has corrected my spelling, i'm assuming this is correct).
4. go to cupertino. (i have no idea what's going on about this!).
5. go to In & Out everytime i'm hanging out with grendel & justin.
6. blast the music when i wake up!
7. pee with the door open...hehe.
8. sleepover.
9. PARTY!
10. when i run out of things to do, just start all over!

the answer is no, B. i don't care what you have to say. NO!

ok, for those of you who have read lois's blog, i do not feel that i need to defend my position for MANY reasons, but i DO have one thing to mention: lois does not believe in showers. proof: she made my car smell like corn tonight! (donations for a new car would be greatly appreciated...since some ungrateful people who no longer deserve rides think my volvo is a "raggity car").

My Colorgenics Profile:

You have always been on the move seeking affectionate, satisfying and harmonious relationships. Your ultimate goal has been the realisation of an intimate union in which there could be love, self-sacrifice and mutual trust. It has often been said that "True love is just around the corner"...and maybe... if you haven't found it as yet - you possibly soon will.

You are trying to improve your position and prestige, be it in your life or in your workplace.. Things are, at this time, OK. But they could be better. You feel that it is essential that you breakdown any opposition that could possibly lurk in the shadows ... You know that you are quite capable of achieving this set goal because you have to and because it is essential to your self esteem.

Being a very proud individual you tend to hold yourself aloof...pretending that you are stoical...indifferent to pain and pleasure...but this is not so, for in truth you are an extremely emotional individual, one that may make a hasty decision...and perhaps regret it at leisure. It is time now to break the bond of detachment and be the "you" that you would like to be, give vent to your emotions and enjoy yourself.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion ... In fact you just don't want to be involved in any arguments of any shape or form ... All you want is for "them" to get on with it - and to leave you alone..

It's accurate in a sense...

well, i got another student to tutor named julia lee. she's in 5th grade and has this hardcore korean mom who speaks with a very strong voice. i can't explain it...she's not really yelling but she's not talking in a regular tone either. anyways, i was pretty surprised when i saw them b/c i was expecting a boy, not a girl. second, her address was 176 linden ave., not 576 linden ave. (looking for her house was a bastard!). third, her whole house smelled like fish! not just any fish, but like something that had been eaten & barfed up 3 or 4 times! anyways, she's pretty quiet, nice, and obedient...nothing like my other student, john! (i'm not expecting anything good from that kid tomorrow).

hey chang, nice template...looks mighty nice! =P that 4 guy chess game sounds kinda fun, but i'm not interested...it's bad enough that my brother humiliates me every night! anyways, hope you're studying hard for that hardcore math class and that tight "water" class of yours. lol.

to the only "cool" girl in red: YES, i read your blogs too! anyways, i totally feel ya! ok, i'm lying, not totally...but i can kinda relate to what you're going through. hang in there dude b/c Garcia's praying for ya! peace out dawg!

January 27, 2002

ok, since justin thought he was hecka funny by going into my blog and writing, "i am gay. i am stupid. i am gay.," i will have to edit these three entries starting with this one. hmmm, i think i'm going to talk about him starting with his blog! his entry today was about "love." i personally think his plans with his future girlfriend(s) are really interesting! he wants to eat at the international airport, watch airplanes take off/land, and talk about how great his past exgirlfriends were. now isn't that romantic?! justin claims that he will be a "sweet boyfriend" and i have no objection to that. i mean watching airplanes all night long sounds pretty cool to me. (wtf (remember, f=fudge) is he thinking?!)

justin: the reason why i brought you out here was b/c this place reminds me of us!
girlfriend: i love the fact that you think of me as someone who lands and takes off! awwwww justin! you're so sweet!

may God have mercy on his future girlfriend(s), wife, and children!
tonight, i had a victorious night in chess! justin came over to play some chess and we ended a little after 12...this game seriously eats up your time! after i beat justin, it was time to once again play my most difficult and ugliest opponent, simon chung. for some reason, i beat him the first game and he got all pissed off. so we played a second time and i somehow beat him again! this time, he got REALLY pissed so of course, we HAD to play again! this game was quite fierce b/c we were both playing very carefully and slowly...it must've lasted for over an hour! anyways, he was slowly beating the crap outta me until all i had was my king. fortunately, the moron ended up moving me to stalemate or a tie! his face turned all red and he started to complain! he looked like Jaws on drugs or something! justin and i didn't know what to do so we just laughed. if you ask simon about it, he'll still deny losing...poor guy, please keep him in your prayers.
and finally, my last entry that i need to edit. i guess i'll keep this one short. i learned that the word, "hanged," is only used when you're talking about hanging people. i apologize for attempting to correct those who were bothered by my ESL vocabulary, and i will start using the word, "hung," ok justin?

warning: DO NOT USE BAD GRAMMAR IN FRONT OF JUSTIN OR ELSE HE WILL KICK YOU IN THE BALLS ABOUT IT!
isn't it sad how we all take our mothers for granted? our mothers are the best things in the world! first of all, they went through hours of labor just to bring our retarded selves into this world. second, they fed, cleaned, and bought us everything ever since we were little! third, they will always continue to love us for the rest of their lives! seriously, i pity those who have no mothers. anyone can live w/o a father, but no one can live w/o their mother. i think it's important that we all try to show some consideration to those incredible women! offer your mom to do the dishes. start taking out the garbage for her. when it's time to do the laundry, give her a hand or do the whole thing by yourself! (but only if you know how to do it right...trust me!). i mean, i know sometimes it's impossible to love her! she'll give you a whole buncha crap about this and that, and have no idea what's going on in your life. but the next time you decide to yell back or talk crap about your mom with your friends, think about everything in her perspective. what kinda crap is she going through? why does she even bother to yell at me? what did i do to cause this? (wow, this is like the first serious thing i've written in my blog! =D).

well, so far i've officially beaten simon in chess TWICE! ("official" meaning CHECKMATE SUCKA! (i know i'd sound gay if said that in real life)). you don't understand what joy it brings me to trap simon's king, all helpless and lost, not knowing where to go. i can't help but smile when i see that confused and stupid look on his face. i know he's either thinking, "that idiot just beat me!" or "that idiot got sooooo lucky!" but the thing that i appreciate about my brother is that he doesn't get pissed. he just kinda smiles, accepts, and offers to play another game. probably b/c he knows that he's really going to rape the crap outta me in the next game...i mean he's done it 89,435 times before!

well, our good friend, monica aka moe, has returned from Sojourn to the Past. i have to admit, i DID miss her alot these past few days. in fact, i even had a dream this morning that she returned! well moe, if you're reading this for whatever reason, welcome back your bluntness! it's good to see that you still look like garbage every morning (get some sleep dear!). i still haven't forgotten about Todai's! (is that how you spell it?).

don't you guys hate it when you're doing a group project and there's always that one moron who never does anything? well, today that moron happened to be my friend, pat. this guy is seriously THE most indolent and complaining group member in the world!

me: pat, can you do the pictures on the paper?
pat: no! you do it!
me: but i'm typing right now!
pat: daniel. you do it!
daniel: pat, you haven't done ANYTHING!
pat: dude, yes i did! just do it ok?
me: pat, just do it! you're so lazy!
pat: shuttup phil! YOU don't do anything!
(we never did get him to do anything).

which reminds me, pat is ALSO incredibly stupid:
(yesterday)

teacher: patrick. name one thing that happened in California.
pat: uh, gold rush.
teacher: good. when was the gold rush?
pat: 1949.
(class laughs).

5 min. later...

pat: phil, was the gold rush REALLY in 1849?

today at work:

char: philip. you've jumped on your bed when you were a little kid haven't you?
me: of course!
char: ok good. allan, did you ever have pillow fights in college?
allan: no way. but we sure did have alot of beer fights!

in response to terrance's blog: hanged (h��ngd) v. Past tense and past participle of hang.
"if at first you don't succeed, try try again!" (i forget how the rest goes (can someone please help me out?)).

in response to jomo's blog: i will no longer look at your blogs!

in response to lauri's blog: hey, taco bell ain't so bad! it's ALOT better than Hot Dog on a Stick!

in response to chang's blog: why are we still talking about guy/girl friendships?

this is kind of random but these are my favorite places to read in the Bible:
Jeremiah 29:11-13
John 17 (thanks chang)
Hebrews 12
Psalms 4

these are VERY encouraging passages...i highly recommend that you read them RIGHT NOW!

gosh, i was soooo tired at school today! i usually feel pretty awake after waking from SSR (sustained silent reading), but it was really bad in calculus today. this is calculus through the eyes of phil chung:

teacher: does anyone have ques....
(eyes close).
(eyes open).
teacher: and the second derivative...
(eyes close).
(eyes open).
teacher: the natural log...
(eyes close).
(eyes open).
*yawn*
teacher: tonight's homework...
(eyes close).
*bell rings*

i guess this would explain my C in calculus.

on a brighter note, i now have NAS (not at school) 6th period! art was such a waste of time for me! i am seriously THE worst artist in the world. my mind does not believe in creativity and my hands just do not want to make straight lines. i think my brain purposely makes me draw/paint like a retard just to have a good laugh...i have to admit i DO draw some funny looking things at times. lol. there was this one time, weyman and i had a contest to see who can make the ugliest looking butterfly. whoever had the uglier one had to hang it up on his wall. i obviously beat the living crap outta him, but he never hanged the stupid thing on his wall. anyways, since i get out of school at 2:00 now, i will be working an extra hour at my office place...which reminds me:

allan: so what do you want to study philip?
me: i don't know. business?
allan: no no no! that isn't going to get you anywhere! you should do accounting!...blah blah blah...when i was in college....blah blah blah...you see my daughters?...blah blah blah...i have this one friend...blah blah blah...millions i tell ya!...blah blah blah...(50 min. later)...so that's what happened to Enron!
me: oh.

geez, maybe i should've just stuck with, "i'm probably going to study accounting."

i've been reading alotta other people's blogs and i just realized that i'm the only blogger who never says anything that's edifying or related to God. and i know even through this blog, it should ALL be for HIS glory. the only thing i've probably done was make people laugh or stumble them in their spiritual walk. and for this reason, i apologize to all of my readers, but most of all, i am sorry to God. if my blogs start sounding very "self-glorifying," just tap me on the shoulder and punch me in the face ok? (don't even think about it grendel).

char: oh yeah! wasn't he in jail for raping some girl?
me: i think so.
char: philip. you be careful with them women ok?
me: ahahahahha.

char: hey philip. don't you EVER get mad?
me: yeah. of course i do! why?
char: i don't know. it just doesn't seem like it.
me: yeah, i get mad. but i never have a reason to get mad at work.
char: yeah, you were pretty calm yesterday. michael was being a freakin' *ss!

char: chrimeny! ALLAN ONTAI! (our boss). I'M GOING TO SHOOT HIM!

i think char was just having one of her "days."

ok, well terrance revealed to me that he was one of the voters who voted for my blog. will the other slim shady please stand up? you shall receive a reward beyond your wildest dreams! (i'll thank you on my next blog). i have to admit, having people vote for your blog as the best blog sure does boost your ego (ay grendel?).

i don't know, lately there's been alotta people wanting a job all of a sudden. so far, my friend pat (aka "taptrick" (aka "tap")) has been the only successful one to get a job-BLOCKBUSTER BABY! you know what that means-movie marathons (at PJ's of course) for free!...or at least i hope so. well, at least pat's excited to work...

well, second semester has started today and i'm already hating it! i have the worst econ and health teacher in the school!

in response to lois's stupid assumptions, i did NOT vote for myself in jomo's poll. folks, i'm feeling a lack of self-esteem from that girl...so if you guys will, please vote for her "interesting" blog as the best blog ok? Phil-10. Lois-0. BOOYA!

yesterday, i got my new chess set at Kay-Bee for 20 bucks. it's just like PJ's except the board is smaller, the squares are brown and white, and the pieces are smaller and made out of plastic (wanna trade PJ?). gosh, i seriously HATE playing chess with simon! that stupid kid is either really good or i just suck like a mother...or maybe even both! he beat me three times and this is how our third game went:

Simon: check!
i move.
Simon: check!
i move.
Simon: check!
(pause).
he smiles. i look at him. then he explodes with laughter!
Simon: CHECKMATE! AAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!
i stare at the board.

pitiful is it not?
oh yeah, and whoever it was that voted for me in jomo's poll...thanks dude!

don't you have alotta people in your life that are kinda weird or unique in their own way? well, there's alotta people that i wonder where they'll be in 10 years from now. these people either study really hard, do alotta drugs, piss me off, or have turned my life 180 degrees:

1. Justin Jang (all of the above).
2. Simon Chung
3. Chang Mo Yuon (you'd better have the same laugh!)
4. My Parents (dad should be completely bald by then).
5. Tiffanie Kimmmmmmmmmmm (10 years ought to be enough time to fix your pinkies and chicken skin).
6. Weyman Kwong
7. Daniel Chen
8. Brandon Le
9. Terrence Hom
10. Terrance Kimm (you'll either be 50 pounds heavier or lighter).
11. Sam Kwon
12. Gary Kim
13. Christine Kim (you'll always be ugly to me).
14. Susannie Kim
15. Andrew Shinn

if you don't see your name on this list, i wouldn't exactly consider it a bad thing. it just means that you're a regular person that doesn't bother me in anyway. and for those of you who ARE on this list, just make sure you don't become like justin.


i just realized that i've really been trying to cut down on talking crap about people. i try to have the "if you don't have anything nice to say, THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!" mentality. i forgot where i first heard that, but it makes alotta sense if you think about it. i mean, don't you guys hate it when people talk behind your back? if you guys ever catch me gossiping, give me a good kick in the balls to remind me to shuttup ok?

black people are soooo funny! today, i watched The Original Kings of Comedy for the third time on video. man, that crap is hilarious! grendel quotes, "after this movie, i have much more respect for black people." gosh, i most certainly agree with her; not that i didn't respect them before, but i do MUCH more now after this movie. if you guys love racial humor, alotta profanity, and Bernie Mac, this movie is definitely for you. half the time, you won't understand what Bernie's talking about, but his big white teeth and bulging eye balls will make you scream with laughter. i promise you, if you're having a really bad day and you're looking for an instant source of happiness, the kings of comedy are for you! ok, i'm starting to sound like a commercial...but you get the point.

today, i went to Bed, Bath, & Beyond. that place is seriously the coolest store in the world. they have fat pillows, comfortable house slippers, interesting showerheads, various sized mirrors, nice frames, and all these other things that people don't really need for pretty cheap! i know i sound really homosexual right now, but seriously that place is awesome! as i was looking around, a thought came into my head. i know money will eventually make a person corrupt and everything, but i wish i could go on a shopping spree with 2000 bucks. man, that would seriously take care of alotta my materialistic desires in the shopping malls and i'd be able to go to the gas station with a pure heart! dude, i'd even tip the taco bell guy for taking my order! now wouldn't that be nice?

well, i got a new template and i am quite pleased with it. gary helped me get rid of the "my funny motto," but i still can't seem to move the ad to a different location. oh well, i'm satisfied and so should my readers.

today, i got a chance to talk to the blog king himself-jomo lee! this guy seriously has the coolest blogs b/c he expresses his wit in a short and concise manner that gets you all excited for his next entry. i was just so overwhelmed with curiosity that i had to ask the guy how he did it! he gave me some pointers and critique about my blog...some garbage about me writing too much and not writing more about my reactions and feelings vs. days' events. well jomo, i'm convicted that you just don't have the discipline to read all of the interesting things i have to say. i apologize if my blogs don't please the blog king, but i'm not here to please you dawg. just b/c of your garbage comments, i'm going to make this blog much shorter than it usually is just for you jomo! (as you can see, criticism from important people can really upset immature people).

gosh, for those of you who drive, don't you HATE paying for gas? i mean, the prices aren't as ridiculous as before, but it's still unacceptable! everytime i go in to pay for gas, i'm afraid i'll blurt out, "20 dollars on #1. thanks for taking away my taco bell money you bastard!" but yeah, i feel sorry for those gas station guys. their job is almost as bad as those toll booth people. now THAT SUCKS! you're all by yourself in a tiny little booth with a loooong line of cars full of people who are pissed at you for taking 2 dollars just to cross an ugly bridge full of traffic! depressing is it not?!

well, i chose a new template b/c i too felt that mine was too common among bloggers (well actually, it was just jomo but STILL!). i personally like this one b/c it looks really interesting with the constant color changing action. i'm not a computer genius so if you guys tell me how to get rid of the "my funny motto" and move the stupid ad so that it's not blocking my box, i'd appreciate it.

there are many things that i would want to change about myself. but if there was one i would have to change, it would have to be the fact that i am a light sleeper who cannot sleep at other people's houses. if there is any light, sound, or uncomfortable temperature in the atmosphere, i will not be able to fall asleep. this is one reason why i HATE people who snore even though i am guilty of this unforgivable sin. if a friend sleeps over and starts snoring, i will be VERY tempted to kick him in the balls b/c i tend to act very cranky when i am tired. i detest people who take away my hours of beloved dreams, ok justin?!

last night, i went to Young's apartment for the first time. it's a one bedroom place that she shares with a roommate. gosh, i'm kinda excited about living on my own when i go to college. depending on how big my place will be, i think it's going to look pretty similar to my room right now: finkl pictures on the door, my crappy computer, my ugly blue stereo, a desk that shows no signs of studying, a bed with a pink blanket and pink pillow, my cool white mirror, and alotta papers and pictures on the wall. i guess my biggest fear is that i'll have a bad roommate (someone like justin). i pray that i do not have a roommate who always borrows money, doesn't lend any money, and eats all of my food (someone like justin). oh yeah, and he better not snore or i'm going to have to rip his nose off! gosh, maybe college is going to suck!

today, i went to a cheap korean restaurant with chang, young, B, justin, and gary. i loooooove korean food! i thank the Lord for making me korean! if i didn't have kimchee as part of my daily diet, i don't see why i would bother to eat anything at all! no but seriously, i really am hardcore when it comes to kimchee. i mean everytime they bring kimchee over and i see how little they give me, i have many thoughts going on in my head. "is this some kind of joke?!" "can i speak to your manager?!" "dude, you're just asking for a bad tip aren't you?!" "alrite, if i don't see anymore of this stuff in 10 seconds, someone's going to die!" but yeah, i enjoyed today's meal alot. it was only 10 bucks and i was incredibly full. after i was done, all i could think of was PRAISE THE LORD!

ok, well i just finished reading the blogs of my fellow bloggers. however, what started off with a few chuckles and smiles slowly turned into a grinding of teeth and violent outbursts directed towards simon...this all resulted from reading gary's blog. ok mr. KGB, i first of all think you're making a REALLY big deal over something stupid. but since you brought it up and KEEP bringing it up, i WILL respond to it. apparently, our good friend, gary, misunderstood the whole topic over guys and girls being best friends. we discussed that guys and girls have a tendency to be attracted/have feelings (eventually) for the opposite sex...even if it's just a LITTLE, which i concur to. i believe that these feelings can exist and friendships can still remain depending on the people. just b/c there's going to be a small fork in the road doesn't mean you just stop being close friends! however, gary believes that even the possibility of the slightest feelings=NO FRIENDSHIP! he quotes, "NO such thing as an opposite sex being your best friend!!" for some reason, he discourages best friend relationships while he himself has a "best friend" that is a girl! gary, even CHANG said that guys and girls can still be close friends! maybe not forever, but my point is....you REALLY misunderstood our discussion yesterday (and please no more of that "ehehehehe...i was just kidding!" stuff ok?).

ok, now i can start talking about what was REALLY on my mind today. for dinner, i had an excellent burger that was brought from the airport by my beloved mother. it's one of those big burgers that cost 5 bucks and come with the unhealthiest fries which make your taste buds scream with joy. gosh, i enjoyed that meal so much that i think i started crying after my last fry! *sniff*...until we meet again my small friends!

so how is everyone doing with finals? i am personally enjoying this time of testing and final grades b/c i have no hw and i do not bother to study. the only finals i have this year are calculus and biology. calculus is one of those tests that you cannot study for...it's either you know it or you don't. in class, you had two choices-you were asking questions about last night's hw or you were asleep, dreaming about where tacobell meat really comes from. i would have to go with choice #2! =P for the bio final, we get to use all of our notes so you don't really have to study. well, one more day of finals guys...HWAEETEENG!

yesterday, beloved grendel and i went to go watch "a beautiful mind," which was a pretty good movie that seemed like 3 hours even though it was only 2. we ended up taking a taxi to the theatres b/c the driver offered to take us there for 5 bucks, which is alot cheaper than his first offer. this was my first time taking a taxi in this country so there were alotta things going on in my head. "hey, i don't see a license anywhere in this car! what if he drives us somewhere far and kills us?" "he's acting awfully nice to us...what's his problem?" this was our conversation in the car:

driver: so what movie are you going to go watch?
me: a beautiful mind.
driver: what's that about?
me: some crazy guy who can crack codes.
driver: cracking codes eh? yeah, i used to crack codes myself...blah blah blah...decoding...encoding...blah blah blah...some serious stuff!
me: oh.
(grendel looks at me with a confused face).

i mean, he was a pretty nice guy and all but i was scared throughout the whole ride and i don't think i'll ever take a taxi again.

well, i have nothing to do after finals. i have no money b/c i haven't been working so if you guys really care about me, please take me out? i REALLY do not want to go home, eat lunch, fall asleep, and blog all night ok?

"noraebang" isn't the same it used to be. i remember the first time i went in korea. my cousin took me for the first time two summers ago. it was just him, me, and simon...sounds pretty gay huh? well, it was one of the funnest times i ever had singing. i remember singing every song we could think of-yes, even Finkl, SES, and Baby Vox songs! gosh, we sang like EVERYTHING b/c noraebangs are soooo cheap in korea! but i had THE FUNNEST time at Pat's birthday party. excluding me and dykas, everyone there was a fob...now those fellas know how to have a good time! i love the fact that they can sing all the korean rap songs b/c us regular korean americans can't read that crap that fast. and after everyone sings, no matter HOW BAD you sang, they cheer like a mother for you! they clap, they whistle, heck...dykas and i literally bowed while yelling, "ooooooOOOOOOooooo!" remember dykas?...lol. but yeah, i specifically remember everyone getting all worked up when the songs, "Run To You, Kwejinah Ching Ching, A-yo, and We Are The YG Family," came up. just b/c there's 2 mics doesn't mean everyone can't sing along to the song~AYO!

lately, my mother has been nagging me about coming home very late. i usually don't get caught b/c she's asleep, but when she DOES hear me come in, dang! she'll nag (or jansoree) like there's no tomorrow! "i can't fall asleep if i don't know where you are! mothers can't help worrying about their kids! why didn't you call?!" and so forth. gosh, i SERIOUSLY hate it when people nag me, not just my mom. i guess it's a pride issue i have. i usually think i know so much better and that i can take care of myself...but yeah, i honestly believe that nagging doesn't solve the problem, it just becomes a bigger part of it.

last night, i was successful in converting grendel into a Weezer fan. i personally believe that Weezer is the best rock group that has ever existed. they have alot of songs that give you loser pride and make you feel good about yourself. not too many people know that i listen to alternative music b/c i don't look/act like the "type," which i am completely alright with. i don't want to look like some depressed loser who always thinks about poor relationships or suicide. but i enjoy listening to the stuff. i mean i know there's alotta garbage lyrics in the music, but there are some good ones that you can definitely relate to...and loud guitar and drums make you happy!

"pattern" games are the funnest games in the world! after you're done playing one, others introduce their "pattern" games, and it continues. i never knew there were sooo many of these brain games! they range from "listen!" all the way to "around the world!" if you don't know what i'm talking about, you're probably thinking that i'm a stupid loser who has nothing better to do...which is actually true, but there ARE others like me, right jonna? hehe.

i just realized that i drive alotta church people around. i mean, i seriously don't mind taking people. however, gas seems to be making good friends with my wallet lately...guys, what i'm trying to say is-I AM BROKE! if you guys can find another ride, PLEASE DO SO! don't just ask me b/c it's convenient for you guys. i mean, i know some of you seriously have no other ride and i understand, but you OTHERS! ask your freakin mother! well, if you guys are willing to pay for some gas, SURE, i'd love to pick you up! but so far, not a single passenger has offered to pay for gas unless i ask, which is very rare. this is also the reason why i stuff so many people inside my wagon. i just cannot afford to make 2 trips so i try to save as much gas as possible. so far, my record is 10 people in my car. i pray to God that i will never break this record. gosh, poor PJ-his record is 12 people in that dinky car of his! now THAT'S unacceptable! but yeah, i'm just saying this b/c i'm broke like a mother and i need some people to blame...you guys can keep asking for rides. just start being a little more magnaminous and considerate ok? (i DO appreciate thank you's (thanks lauri & gary)).

my goodness my psychology teacher is weird! she's the same teacher who teaches me gov't....yes, the oldest teacher in our school. anyways today, we were learning about skitsofrenia (i don't know how to spell it), which is where you start hearing voices and hallucinate and crap. if it gets really bad, you become catatonic or something, which is where you brain just kinda shuts off. ex: if you had someone's arm raised in the air and left him there for an hour, it'd still be up in the air when you came back. oh, and everything they say comes out as garbage. so my teacher supposedly knew this one person who used to have it and said that some guy found the person in a rocking chair rocking back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. so my teacher was imitating this crazy person and she looked INCREDIBLY scary! gosh, she did this weird thing with her eyes and crap. i wouldn't be surprised if the "friend" she was talking about was actually her!

well like i said, the prom thing has already started. today at work, char (the second boss at work) told some other worker that i was going to the prom after finals or something. "yeah, now Philip's got the prom to worry about doncha Philip! you ARE going aren't you?! don't tell me you're NOT going!" so this kinda led to my whole conversation about my prom problem. lol, white people are so different from us asians! she's all, "so you're gonna get a hotel room right?! WHAT?! NO HOTEL ROOM? C'MON PHILIP!!!" ahahahhah, dang white people! but yeah, right before i left work...this was the conversation i had with my other boss, alan (the main one).

me: yeah, i have to do another psychology paper (so i can leave work a lil earlier).
char: oh really? hey, you should talk to alan! he knows psychology stuff!
me: oh really? (not interested AT ALL!)
alan: oh sure i do! hey, you know maslow? you should write about his therapy. i'll give you an example! say char here does something good. you give her a piece of candy. but if char does something bad, you KICK HER IN THE *SS!
me: ahahahhahahaha.

yeap, the people at my work are old, but really cool....dang white people! lol.

i noticed that a lot of people have been getting sick lately. i was sick over the break, but i'm ALOT better now. at school...

matt: dude, byung! you got me sick!
bs: dude, shuttup matt. you're hella weak! you can't fight the germ!
me: ahahahahah!

today, i went to Barnes & Noble and read this Bernie Mack book. that guy is seriously hilarious! i LOVE ghetto humor! i love how black people describe things with alotta cuss words and interesting slang. i would give you an example of a joke but i'd probably ruin it w/o all the cuss words and such. anyways, i need to work out and take a shower. peace out dude!

January 9, 2002

how's everyone's week going? mine's been great! remember how i whined and complained about school starting again? well, this week has actually been very kick back and relaxing for me. not so much hw, lunch has been tasting pretty good lately-my typical turkey sandwich, 2 bags of Big Grab chips, and an orange, and alotta stupid people have been leaving me alone! if this keeps up, i'm gonna start saying hi to my teachers! (yeah right!)

fudge! i just realized that prom is in approximately 3 months! man, i always told myself that i was going to worry about this later but that "later" is now! everyone's going to be bothering me to go with this girl or that girl. "oh, go with my friend! she has no date!" "oh, just go with her as friends!" DUDE, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE OK?! i'm not blind and deaf...i'm going to prom with or without a date! *sigh* it's going to be one of those stupid nights where you look back and say, "dang, i should have just went to church!" i know it's going to be like that! but enough whining for now...i'll have a crapload to say later on.

well, i came back from tutoring today and i just realized my job isn't so bad! i tutor a 7th grader named John in spanish and algebra. he's a bright kid, but can REALLY be lazy...hehe, kinda reminds me of myself! anyways, i have some pretty good times with john! sometimes, we write poems about church people, play 5-in-a-row, play snake on my cell phone, play tetris on my calculator, or just sit there and talk about how gay girls can be! i have alotta fun with that kid. everytime i help him solve a problem, he starts talking about how humble i am (sarcastically of course!). the poor kid has a tutor like every single day, but he says that i'm his favorite one...mainly b/c i actually talk to him and don't give him any hw even though i'm supposed to. but yeah, he supposedly DOES learn from me.

well, working out still sucks but it is getting somewhat easier. i'm not as sore as i used to be, but my body still looks unacceptable. according to Pastor John, the earliest you'll start seeing changes is 2 weeks. well, at least i've been consistent for 3 days!

oh yeah, i apologize for not putting up my daily thought and song of the day. after every blog, i knew i was forgetting something. anyways, here ya go! (hmmm, i wonder how many people actually bother to even read my stupid blog).

man, listening to the old school korean stuff really makes you happy! right now, i'm listening to UP-Bada....*sigh* memories. remember back in '97 when YSJ came out with Gawee, HOT came out with Haengbok, 6kies started new, Young Turks Club, etc...gosh, that's when music was awesome! and now, there are these garbage groups like Bobo, um....Bobo, and uh...MORE BOBO! i've never actually heard their music, but their group name just says enough! grendel knows what i'm talking about!

gosh! last night was a very bad night for me. i could not fall asleep for the looooongest time! i kept waking up like every hour until it was like 7...THEN i start to get some good sleep-1 freakin' hour to sleep before i have to wake up. you guys have these nights too right? all i remember in my dreams was the trance song-Popcorn Remix for some reason.

school wasn't so bad today. i slept soooo well in art today! when i woke up, my arms and hands were really dead-that's when you know you slept really well! i also had no hw so that was cool.

for those of you who don't know, i work at a credit union, which is kinda like a retarded bank that does all this other stuff with money. i'm too lazy to explain and i'm not 100% sure what it is either so don't ask. anyways, i work from 3-5 everyday after school b/c it's right across the street. this job is as boring as they get...filing, typing, and mailing for 2 hours BY YOURSELF! just recently, i got a new "project"-mail out 800 letters to the credit union members! today, i did about 100. 700 more to go! woohoo! seriously, somebody RIP MY HEAD OFF PLEASE!

after work, i finally got a freakin' haircut! this time, i decided to cut it short like i had it a long time ago. too many people were giving me alotta crap about how i looked better w/short hair and i guess it had been a while so i cut my front today. but i have to admit, it is alot more convenient now w/o all the hair going inside your mouth when you're eating ramen.

gosh, working out was a bastard today! i was sooo sore i almost cried! well, not really but it hurt like a mother. but for those of you who don't work out regularly, i recommend that you start b/c after you're done exercising you feel pretty good about yourself (i know you think i'm crazy terrance). i guess it's all that endorphin chemical stuff doing it's job.


January 7, 2002

hello everybody. this is now my second blog that i'm writing. gosh, today was such a loooong day! school was just way too long, especially calculus! man, i hate my gov't class! we have the oldest teacher in the freakin' school! she's like, "yeah, i wouldn't be surprised if your parents know me. i probably taught them too." WHAT KINDA CRAP IS THAT?! anyways, since she's so old, she's also incredibly lazy! she's just a bitter old lady who assigns a ton of work and doesn't like to explain things. if you don't understand, she'll assume you were never paying attention or some crap. sometimes, i wish the freakin' principal would just see how lazy she was and force her to retire! but then again, if the principal saw how lazy i was, she'd probably kick me out of the school too. =P

gosh, but it was nice seeing some of my school friends again. the majority are stupid as usual.
today during lunch...

Daniel: yeah, i finally got my DSL to work!
Me: cool. mp3 party!
(laughter).
BS: yeah. let's have a SM party!
(silence).
(silence).
(silence).
Daniel: BS, you're sucha dumb*ss!
(laughter).

this is a typical lunch that i have and I LOVE IT!

well, i received a crapload of hw today. i still haven't finished my calc hw and need to finish my gov't project tonight. oh yeah, i also started working out today! boy oh boy am i pathetic! 3 sets of 10 crunches knocked me out! i am definitely out of shape! and at the rate i'm eating at, i think i should just give up! but yeah, i officially started my workout sessions today. gosh, today was one of my rare days where i can't fall asleep during my naps. i actually had a short dream that was happy yet sad and then i woke up to my stupid brother's piano! i couldn't fall asleep again.

oh yeah, i just realized why grendel kept bothering me to start a blog. i now see how fun it is to write about your pathetic life, but at the same time you want to see how sadly others are living as well. so what i'm trying to say is, START A BLOG SO I CAN READ IT TOO! (oh by the way jomo, if you you're reading this for whatever reason, i REALLY like your blog. your entries are quite amusing and they make me happy. =D).

gosh, just a few minutes ago...i was feeling pretty happy b/c i was eating some Gushers and feeling all hyper. now, i'm back to reality and everything sucks! gosh, hw=bitterness does it not? well, i wasted a good hour online...i guess i'd better get back to work. smell you later!

January 6, 2002

ok, so this is my first blog. the only reason why i'm starting a blog is b/c a girl named grendel keeps whining and bothering me to start one. i know i said alotta crap about how gay blogs are in my subprofile. i guess i'll just have to take out all my daily journals out now...THANKS ALOT GRENDEL! gosh, today was kinda crappy for me b/c i was tired the majority of the day. whenever i'm tired, i'm very apathetic and indifferent most of the time, which basically makes me look like i'm on some sorta period. anyways, after church, i went to PJ's and watched about half of Godfather-it wasn't as great as the first time i watched it but it's still good (if i don'ta see her, i'ma gonna die...lol). man, i just took a shower and i realized i am incredibly out of shape. well, i was actually always out of shape but now it's starting to look unacceptable. i'm really going to try to start working out tomorrow. speaking of tomorrow, it's time for another wonderful time at school! i'm so excited i can't wait! somebody please RIP MY HEAD OFF! man, it's so depressing...i guess i'll once again get used to it after about a week of it. well, i also have finals the week after and i kinda have to do well b/c it's like my last finals that colleges may look at. aw crap, i just remembered that my stupid sound doesn't work b/c i brought my computer to church to let a friend borrow it but he didn't need it. after plugging in all the stuff, the sound was really low...so now i have to turn up the volume all the way. man, why does my winter break have to end on a bad note! well, at least i got my mirror to hang on my closet...later!
