my second day of college life was MUCH better than my first. i got plenty of sleep and woke up feeling a bit cheerful. my mom came to visit me and we went to this place called Myung Dong Ok or something. gosh, they bought me so much crap! all i wanted was a simple Sullong Tang! but nooooooo, they just had to add a Galbi Lunch Special. so after i finish just about everything, i felt like throwing up for the next 2 hours. but the place we were in was this big plaza area with alotta stores. there's alotta cool things on Culver Dr....Claim Jumpers, plazas, and El Pollo Loco.

when i got back, two guys that i met yesterday, Fong and Henry, wanted to play some ball. i told them i was too full but we ended up on the courts anyways. we played a sweaty 3 on 3, which was alotta fun. so basically, i became cool with these two fellas. later as i was walking to my room, i heard christian music coming from the room next door. this is how i met Jack and Norman, the only two christian guys i know so far. after the meeting, i ate dinner with Norman and i convinced him to walk with me to Mesa Court. bad idea. we got super duper lost. i am seriously the worst person to go traveling with at irvine. after a miserable hour of confused walking, we finally found dykas' room. i decided to give Naomi a visit b/c her suite was right next to his. hasn't changed a bit. then i convinced dykas and naomi to check out my room. gosh, how pitiful they must have felt. right after my shower, i met Lawrence and Vladmir? these guys were pretty nice guys. Lawrence is this guy from Pasadena and always smiles and chuckles after every sentence. Vladmir likes to play old computer games and cannot dance well like most filipino people.

i also learned a few things i learned about irvine today...

1. the connection over here is super duper fast. i was sending videos to dykas at over 900 kb/sec! HOWEVER, there is restricted downloading (no Kazaa, Napster, etc...).
2. there's another set of guys living on the third floor.
3. irene got into a small accident w/her IS300.
4. basketball is really fun, but should not be played anytime before 4:00.
5. you really need to wear Sunblock in Irvine.
6. there are such things as filipino christians out there.
7. there's alotta vietnamise people in irvine.
8. Middle Earth and Mesa Court are two different worlds. i wish i was in Mesa Court.
9. there's more girls than guys at Irvine (woohoo!).
10. Lawrence flipped his bed upside down to make it higher. lol.

so as you can see, i'm slowly starting to enjoy college life. it feels so much better to have some people you know now. i don't feel as lonely. i know everyone in my hall except for the 3 white guys. i don't know. i think none of us have talked to them. it just hasn't happened yet. but i bet this one white girl named Emily in Naomi's dorm. she taught us how to play a drinking game with cards. sounds fun. haha. *ahem*
