8.5 hours is a long time in a car...

my thanksgiving break wasn't as great as i thought it would be. not a single bite of turkey. too many moments of boredom in my room. seeing my friends didn't seem like a big deal either. i don't know. what exactly was i suppposed to expect? well, let's see the flipside or the more optimistic version of the story.

i went to Stonestown with kevin just cause we were so bored. however, shopping was actually fun cause we ended up buying lots of clothes that had prices too good to be true. you can definitely feel the christmas season finally kicking in with all of its gay songs and x-mas trees in every corner of each store. it's cool though. i like it but i don't like it. it's like you like the x-mas feeling but at the same time you feel that it's really annoying and overdone, right? it's like you can't wait to get a whole buncha presents from everyone but you remember that you also have to a part of this x-mas exchanging garbage. why can't i just receive? why do i need to give too? i'm a poor college student fool! i wanna buy stuff for myself! it doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that receiving is a sin does it?
note: this story isn't going anywhere.

but after shopping, we met up with the boys and went to Serra Bowl. it was good seeing everyone again. not much changes. just a few pounds here and there and everyone sporting their college gear. ah yes, and the reactions to my beloved hair. "phil looks like a korean back-dancer!" "you're gonna go bald phil!" yeahyeah. thanks everyone. i love you too guys.

at night, i went to GE again and met up with two of my beloved friends ("saekki" and "bastard"). it was weird seeing them. proud yet disappointed. confused yet apathetic. pissed yet happy? no scratch that last one. it's hard to put such emotions into proper words. i don't know. you guys are growing up so late. i started growing up in freshmen year. haha. ambiguous no? let's keep it that way.

basketball was pretty fun. i sucked like a mother but it was still fun.

pat: what?! you can't let matt make those!

hahahahahahaha.

dinner was crap. i never want to go to Macaroni Grill again. we waited too long and the food wasn't even that great. i've had better pasta from canned ravioli. with the amount of money we spent that night, we should've just gone all out at a korean restaurant. stupid pat, always making the gayest plans!

noraebang wasn't that great either. it seems like we have less and less fun everytime we go. not everyone sings. alot of pity cheering. not so much joking and laughing. what's going on? are we getting too old for this stuff? is there too much shame in the game? 2 hours = 100 bucks. 13 people. you do the math.

over the break, i saw alot of people who i haven't seen in a long time. some people got pretty freakin' fat. some became miraculously thin! so much fluctuation in the physical world amongst my relationships with people. i guess i'm doing fairly decent so far. 2 months = 2 pounds. if this keeps up, i should have gained only 9 pounds out of the traditional 15 by the end of the year. but then again, exponential curves start out pretty slow in the beginning too. hmmmm...today's 3 cheeseburgers at In N' Out won't be much help either. but i guess if it tastes good, you just gotta let it pass right?

i did alot of pondering in the car today. lots of "conflict" going on in my life. a whole buncha thoughts on "should's" and "shouldn't's." so much thinking. just so much. but that all ended when i finally arrived to my beloved IRVINE! man, i never realized how much i really missed irvine. it's good seeing minh do again. it's good seeing willburt again. heck, it was even nice seeing henry again! lol. and of course, my sleeping schedule automatically changes again. up north, 1am is normal. down south, 5am is normal.

man, what a disorganized random story. really sucks. if i were a teacher, i'd give this crap a C-!
