wednesday: study study study! sometimes, i surprise myself when i see how hard i push myself in my studies. when i really need to get something done, I GET THAT SUCKER DONE! i didn't think i was going to make it to CCM, but i actually finished all of my material and made it in time for praise. so i guess i'm gonna start going out to CCM. it's pretty cool cause i actually know a handful of people there: gum, sharon, ron, david, john, and kevin. irvine guys: jay, simon, chris, arthur, aaron, dykas. i also know joe and leonard. wow, that's cool.

so after the ccm thing, i see david and john at the top.

david: hey, i didn't know you came out here!
me: yeah, this is like my third time here.
david: yeah dude, i was sitting at the top and i saw this guy with really cool hair.
me: yeah, i know it stands out alot. i think i'm gonna cut it soon.
david: no! it's really cool! it's all yellow and long. you're different from everyone else! just keep it til this quarter.
me: hehe, ok thanks.

and i met sharon's friend, simone. i don't know if it's a nickname, a joke, or both. but yeah, she's a girl and i said wassup to her. all these upperclassmen know me but i don't know them. "hey phil!" "bye phil!" "oh hey you....jamie? grace or something? ok bye!"

so i come back from the arc and find my dormmates drinking again. only this time, i see chris and norman drunk?! "this one's for christine!" i have to admit, it was one funny site but nevertheless, quite disappointing. those guys NEVER gave into drinking and here they were, calling shots and stumbling in the hall. man, i know so much how it feels. the pressure. the temptation. *sigh* the fun. i'll let this one slide but if i see those guys messed up again, i'll have a little chatsy with them. stupid minh, throwing up on the ground. i hate that bastard!

so there's this guy named richard in my korean class. i thought he was a first year but i recently found out that he was a fourth year or something. anyways, this guy is a really funny guy. he's not goofy or humorous, but it's his character and responses that he gives in class. he doesn't like to talk in class and hates writing on the board. he always asks questions in english and ironically, takes notes ALL THE TIME! i don't know, you have to be in our class to understand him....

teacher: so what don't you like to eat? (in korean).
richard: uh, i like to eat bool-go-gee. but i don't like that gal-bee stuff.
teacher: really? why? it's the best korean food! (in korean).
richard: no, it's like too chewy and stuff.
class: ahahahahahahahah.

after korean class, i did my in-class essay for my writing class. man, that crap was so hard. i didn't get to write my conclusion and all of my body paragraphs were crap. i wrapped up that stressful class by receiving a C+ on my last paper. bummer. a little unhappy yet content with my efforts. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

so tonight, there were two pool tournaments at zotzone. one was sponsored by ASUCI (some frat) and the regular zotzone one. since the frat tourney was free and the prize was $100, i joined both! my goodness, playing two tournaments is one tough sucker! i was at zotzone from 6:30-11:30, playing the whole freakin' time! once you're done with one round, you gotta play another round from the other tournament. but the thing was, God really blessed me in oh so many games! i can't describe how lucky i was tonight...all of the chokes and great setups that were given to me. gosh, in the first tourney, i went all the way to the championship! unfortunately, i lost to the guy (actually Middle Earth's #1 player). hideo thought the guy really sucked but i thought he was pretty freakin' consistent. *shrug* but gosh, i continued to play in the other tournament. round after round, i won and won and won! it was ridiculous. believe it or not, i won 1st place! i mean, these fools were GOOD but i don't think they really cared about the tournament so they were kinda messing around with me. it's all gravy though. i've never actually WON a tournament before. gosh, i don't know what it was. throughout my games, i asked God to be glorified whether i won or lost. and by His grace, he blessed every one of them. PRAISE GOD!

man, i really wanna play with jonna.

just as i predicted, i missed my psych. lecture. you don't understand how i tired i was! even after i woke up after 11, i still felt like i could've gone for another 3 strong hours! anyways, i went to class and bought eugene's gift today: uci t-shirt, kettle corn, korean mix, and a card (the same card i was supposed to give to brian at the freshmen retreat...haha). but gosh, it is so true that you can't function on an empty stomach. during my writing class, i didn't say a single word in class unless the teacher called on me. i usually raise my hand and say stuff in class (yeah, i surprise myself too!) but today was just a silent and confused phil. during clusters, i didn't say anything either and the stuff i shared with simon and andrew just came out as jibberish. *stomach grumbles* i was one hungry guy.

so during clusters, milky (aka jane ahn) pays us a visit from riverside b/c all of the irvine girls went to a Steven Curtis Stupid Chapman Concert. i don't know, i think the guy's talented but he's definitely overrated. anyways today, i got a chance to hear milky say more than just "hi phil." milky is a VERY cool person. if i were to choose someone to be my older sister, it would have to be someone like her. she's really really nice, she opens her eyes really wide, and smiles 90% of the time. but what i find most interesting about her is the way she talks. she doesn't have a totally different style of talking (mariela) but has a funny habit of stressing certain words. i can't explain it. she also has the funniest reactions and things to say...

(everyone talking about the hostility b/w US and korea).
milky: hey, let's talk about something happy yeah?
me: ahahahahahha.

she's one of the few good things that come out of riverside.

another night of soon doobu. man, i think i've been eating this stuff every week for about a month now! it's kinda like my old pho days. well actually, pho is a different story. i used to eat that garbage with so much love and praise every time. but that isn't the case with soon doobu. it's pretty good and all and i tend to crave it more often than not. but after tonight, i realized that i'm getting a little cooler with old phil. today, i asked him about his work and he explained all this boring stuff to me. ok, bad example. haha. i don't know, i find myself becoming more and more comfortable around him...talking about God and *sigh* the Angels. that guy ALWAYS has something to say to me...

phil: hey, your hair looks a little red these days.
me: get your eyes checked old man.
phil: just admit it, you're starting to give in!
me: ahahahahaha. phil! just leave me alone!

(funny memory).

milky: why do people smoke anyways?
sean: because! it's so cool! KO-REA-TOWN!
everyone: ahahahahahahaha.

lately, i haven't been going on aim as much as i used to. before, i used to turn my computer on as soon as i woke up and turned it off right before i went to bed. and during that whole time my computer was on, i was on aim! i've come to realize that aim wastes alotta time and i obviously have many moments where i don't feel like talking to anyone. hence, my absence in your buddy list. today, i also realized that i have many people who i don't really talk to. since i didn't like the number of buddies i had, i decided to take off alotta unworthy screennames, making my buddly list under 100 buddies. when i hear of buddylists that are over 200 screennames, i just close my eyes and shake my head. i mean, i know what the excuse is..."i keep that screenname JUST IN CASE!" right? that may be true but still. i think a good rule is: if you haven't talked to the person in over a month, that person comes off! one month. that's fair.

Thought of the Day: I think i'm in denial.

good times at arc. i played ball with aaron, dykas, and joe today. it was really fun cause we were all doing very decent. dykas was hot tonight! doing his little head fakes and pauses (dance moves) and making too many shots to keep track. joe was just joe. that fool makes all these shots you think are never gonna go in. baller! and finally, our good friend aaron. haha. this was the first time i played with him where he actually scored! haha. he made three shots today! i believe the guy deserves an applause. good game boys.

afterwards even though it was almost 1, we watched My Wife Is A Gangster b/c i just got it in the mail today. alotta parts are kinda stupid and you don't seem to enjoy it as much. but when the movie's over and think about the movie, you smile and accept. man, my dvd collection is growing by the month. i'm so happy with the movies that i have. anyways, it's pretty freakin' late right now and i have class at 8. joe already decided that he wasn't gonna go to class tomorrow. i really don't know what i should do. i REALLY wanna sleep in and enjoy the rest of my day. but every psych. lecture is crucial and there's only 6 more to go. ugh...it's gonna be tough tomorrow...or should i say today.

funny memory...

mike: hey irvine! i know you have alotta guys and everything but really try to recruit some girls yeah? too much sausage is bad for the diet.

ahahahahahahah.

man, the only bad thing about blogging really late at night is that you want to write as if your previous day was still the present. does that make sense? if not, you're just stupid.

so sunday morning, eugene picks us up at 10:05. service starts at 10. haha. this was by far the latest we've ever come in for a sunday worship service. it's kinda funny but nevertheless embarrassing. i mean, it's pretty disrespectful to the pastor and to God. i mean, if you oversleep then you oversleep. but still, you can't avoid responsibility. yeah, the freshies really gotta discipline those juniors.

after a short Bible Study, we took eugene out to CPK cause his birthday is on thursday. man, i'm one of the few people who do not appreciate CPK. i've only had it like 3 or 4 times and everytime, i was dissatisfied with the quality that i had to pay for. i suppose it's just not my style. perhaps, i'm a just a poor bastard. maybe both! but the fact is, i don't appreciate CPK. don't ever ask me if i wanna go there for ANY reason!

with a minor case of food coma, i decided to take my full stomach to bed and sleep for a few hours. i don't know how but i actually fell asleep for a few hours even though minh was being loud again. i mean, i guess he isn't that LOUD. it's just that i'm a super duper light sleeper. my theory is that my hearing is incredibly sensitive. i don't know. the night before was such an unpleasant experience for me....AGAIN. i tried going to bed early (2:00) but couldn't fall asleep so i got out of bed for a few hours. i went to bed at 4:30ish and then freakin' willburt tries to draw on me again! only this time, i wasn't quite asleep so i decided to scare him. haha. take that you butthole! then when i finally fell asleep, i woke up to minh and christine's considerate whispering. RAAAAAR! that explains my oversleeping this morning. i must have turned my alarm off and went straight back to bed w/o even thinking about anything.

anyways, i was happy to see that minh drew on willburt's face this afternoon and even took a picture! willburt always jacks up people so he finally got a taste of his own medicine. lol. when me and hideo saw him washing his face, he looked SO pissed! i just preteneded i didn't know anything and quickly went out to shoot some pool.

man, i really enjoy working out at the arc (ARC = ANTEATER RECREACTION CENTER). i stretch for 5 min., do 3 sets of 20 pushups (weaksauce!), 3 sets of 50 stomach thingies, and another 3 sets for my lovehandles. both sides. hehe. THEN, i run 2 miles on the track upstairs. i really enjoy running b/c it really takes your mind off things. for example, i was stressing over my schedule for the upcoming month. but as i was running, i had more important things to think about..."am i on lap 7 or lap 8? let's just go with lap 8." haha. and you're just so tired you know? you don't care about anything in the world except for the goal of finishing the long workout. and when you're finally done, you feel terriffic! i finally got to weigh myself in the locker room today. 155 pounds! i actually lost about 5 pounds! well, i usually don't care much about weight but losing 5 pounds is very encouraging to me these days. gosh, the food you eat during your college years is really unhealthy.

lately, i've been missing my family alot. i wanna take my brother out to movies and shoot pool. i wanna hug my mom and tell her all of my horror stories of living with a vietnamise student. these days, i call my mom an average of 2 times a week. i just really love hearing her voice, telling me the same things every single time. "there's nothing easy in this world. always be in prayer and God will give you strength." aw geez. haha. yeah, it's weird how i appreciate my brother so much more now. it's like i finally wanna start treating him like my younger brother, taking him out and showing him things. gosh, i really want to bring him to irvine...show him what kinda crap i have to live with (minh), but also the blessings i'm surrounded with at CPC. i hear that he's maturing alot these days...and having more trouble with my mom too. man, i wish i could go home just for a few days. only a FEW! if you stay there too long, you start getting really bored and wanna go back to school. whup! can't leave out my dad. to be honest, i don't miss my dad as much but i do wanna see him. oh, a praise! the pc bang is finally getting some good business after the upgrade in computers. Praise God!

February 23, 2003

these past few days, i have had no desire to blog at all. i mean, there was alot to write about but there was just no motivation to write. but i must say that friday and saturday were some interesting days...

thursday...

phil finally discusses with annie. reformed vs. unreformed. many questions. many explanations. i think it was a very beneficial discussion for the two of us. may God have been glorified.

friday...

One Voice Conference Day #1. lots of different churches. AWESOME praise band! i mean dang. i haven't heard something that good since like the big CCM thing but that doesn't count. i met a few people that night like susan from ccm. wow, she's a first year! and wow, her older sister is the JDSN of the elementary kids! i thought she was like a third year or something. it's so weird how so many people that i don't know recognize me when they see me a second time. "oh, you came out to ccm right?" "hey, i saw you in that discussion." yes i know, it's my stupid hair. i guess it really stands out to everyone....or perhaps i just have a dashing smile with a very good looking body. lol. good one phil. that night was concluded with In N' Out and Naruto at aaron's place. man, that fool lives pretty far but he really has a bomb room.

saturday...

One Voice Conference Day #2. before we got to church, me, dykas, aaron, and old phil got some VIP. man, dykas eats so much now! i remember when he use to marvel at my abnormal eating habits back in high school. clearly, and i mean CLEARLY, the tables have turned 180�! he finishes his food before everyone else...that's after rice too. after i can't finish my stuff, he gets the rest of the rice and cleans up my bowl. while he's complaining about how full he is, he reaches over to get another deep fried shrimp and some sweet and sour pork. *tears* he makes me so proud! and he's so humble about it, telling us that he's "just hungry." lol.

day 2 was much better than day 1, mainly b/c of the seminars. the first seminar was Covenant & Missions. it sounds like a really dull topic but the speaker made things really clear and simple. i really liked this message b/c he went over such a "hard" topic in 40 min. but did much justice to covenant theology. a very nice guy. the second seminar was "Are You Gifted?" now this guy was just awesome! really REALLY eloquent and intellectual. he was a very honest and blunt man, confessing all of his sins and struggles. "i hate evangelism. i know you hate it too." lol. but at the same time, he went over many important issues over spiritual gifts. he gave very clear examples and his material was obviously reformed stuff. i really liked him. i think everyone did.

so during dinner time, i ate with pastor jason kim. man, that guy just doesn't seem like a pastor to me. i talk to him like he's my friend or something. but it was good seeing him AGAIN. i met a good number of people from other churches so that was pretty cool. it's cool how the churches have different personalities yet we're still united as a presbytery you know? gosh, i pity every person who missed this conference. i really felt that this was one crucial event....an annual event in fact! yeah, it was kinda unfortunate that alotta cpc people didn't come out. however, i think it turned out to be ALOT better than i expected. the best way to express this conference would have to be BLESSED BE YOUR NAME!

i also got to meet some yg kids! i talked to a senior named ed, a sophomore named andrew, and elisa's younger sister, eunice! gosh, after looking at her up close, she looks more like a mixture of mariela and elisa. she's got elisa's outer appearance (hair, face shape, etc.) but mariela's face! it was very interesting. it's kinda like the women's banquet's "what if they mated." haha. i was telling her how it was kinda weird how i was the same age as her sister and that she was the same age as my brother. "if only you had an older brother then we'd be exactly the same!" haha. so cute. "you'd better say hi to me and not pretend that you don't know me!" i like her much better than her sisters.

man, old phil is REALLY passionate about the Angels. he absolutely LOVES annoying me and dykas....

(in his car).
phil: hey guys, like my new hat?
(holds up a Jack in the Box head with an Angels' hat).
me and dykas: OOOOOOH MY!

(passing by Angels' stadium).
phil: hey guys, it's the home of the champions! salute!
me and dykas: OMG!

(after worship).
phil: hey guys, look at the transparency.
(flashes a website of Angels' article).
me: DUDE!

(this was a while back).
phil: hey, you guys like my new bag?
(big Angels' logo).

and this guy is our clusters leader. he ALWAYS says something about the Giants or the Angels. but i have to admit, it's pretty freakin' funny. haha.

after phil dropped us off, me, dykas, and aaron watched My Sassy Girl b/c aaron never saw it. man, i've seen this movie AT LEAST 10 times! me and dykas, so many times. gosh, it's just such a good movie you know? i was pretty glad that aaron enjoyed the movie. i know that fool is gonna have dreams tonight or something. haha. man, i think the three of us are getting closer. we've been chilling alot after church, going to arc, watching anime, eating food, etc.. jeah!

so while i was watching the movie, my dad calls me and tells me that my brother needs a new computer. we talked about it for a little bit and i was just telling him how church is really good and college is alotta fun. he was telling me that my voice sounded much brighter than usual so i thought that was kinda interesting. i mean, i guess it is true. i may not appear to be really happy but really, my thoughts and feelings have been quite content. it's like that peace you have when a christian is living an obedient life. man, it's crazy how much we symbolize Israel in the Old Testament.

after spring break, the hair's gonna change. inspirations from annie chung, dykas lee, aaron hahn, and all the other people who told me the same thing in high school.

February 20, 2003

man, i've been soooooooo busy these past few days! *sigh* it's bascially b/c of my paper that's due for Writing. i don't know but why does it seem like no one's stressing over Assignment 2 except for me? i think it's probably b/c people don't mind getting a C while i'm aiming for a B. if you get a B or better in the class, then you don't have to take Writing 39C-Intensive Writing. *shudder* doesn't that sound scary? INTENSIVE writing! intimidating stuff folks. so yeah, i REALLY hate writing cause it's just a stressful class so i wanna make sure that i don't have to take 39C. i'd rather take something like Fictional or Creative Writing. so after spending a good 12 hours on my paper, i finally gave up after 4 1/2 pages. i seriously tried my best on that crap. the paper is heavy with BS, but i still couldn't manage to complete 5 full pages. there's only so much you could write on the gender role of women using a dead aunt.

man, i've really been eating improperly these days. ever since last thurs., i've only been eating one meal a day. (i know some of you bastards are applauding). i know it's really unhealthy, eating a regular meal at like 3 and nothing for the rest of the day. gosh, i sound like a freakin' girl! "i'll have celery." ahahahahhaha. freakin' chang. man, i can't believe that guy actually proposed to young! man, i wonder what exactly he did. that guy is just so unpredicable with his actions. haha. geez, that guy's gonna get married! man, he's getting old. *sigh* no more playing with chang mo. man, i wonder what kinda food is gonna be at his wedding. lol. CONGRATULATIONS CHANG MO!

tonight, i went to ccm with joe, dykas, aaron, and leonard. man, that crap was pretty boring. i mean, the sermon was alrite and everything but that fool just kept talking and talking and talking! praise wasn't bad though. however, i was actually surprised to see so little people show up. i thought it'd be a whole gang of koreans filling up rows and rows of seats. it's alrite though. i don't know if i wanna keep coming out though. i don't see how i'll be able to get any closer with the people there. i'm sure i'll get to meet people, but make friends? we'll see wassup.

so henry, jessica, and joyce are rolling in his room again. man, i really pity that whole group. drugs this and drugs that! that's ALL they talk about. it's their life, their only source of happiness. it's what unites them as friends. it's really sad. not to be mean or anything but i really do wish they'd get in trouble for it so that they can learn a lesson. whether it's getting caught buying drugs, taking drugs, or ODing on drugs, i just want them to learn a lesson. then ecstacy will no longer bring them ecstacy. (what a pun!)

so even through these hectic days, i can still say that life has been good. my walk with God is pretty smooth right now. i am currently reading Jeremiah in my devotionals. if you've read this book, you'll know that it's another book of Israel's sinfulness and God's anger and compassion towards them. even though it seems very redundant, i can actually say that i appreciate every chapter. it's a good reminder every morning and the chapter always sticks with me throughout the day. gosh, and Clusters continues to never let me down. not only do we have an awesome group, but we have an awesome group leader, old phil! man, that guy is just so knowledgeable about everything. ever since i came to college, he's been one of my role models...godly, smart, funny, very convenient job, and a very decent ride. his only flaw is that he's an Angel's fan. "hey guys, we should have a clusters outting! opening day for Angels!" omg shuttup phil!

me: hey, do you remember frank from kcpc? i think he was a first year when you were a fourth year.
phil: oh yeah! frank, that guy was a dirty christian...coming to church to meet girls.
me: ahahahhahaha.

tomorrow's the Mesa Court vs. Middle Earth Pool Tournament...freshmen only. hideo and i are kinda excited about tomorrow. man, i really wish that i played earlier today. i haven't played since....saturday?! dang. i've only played with a few new freshmen before. so far, they've all sucked. so far, hideo is the competition. we'll see wassup.

Thought of the Day: I studied from 12-7.

after all of these months of hearing about alejandro's, i finally got to have it for lunch today! eugene tells me and dykas that he's going to pick us up around 1:30 (?), and doesn't pick us up til after 2:30. dykas calls me around 2:15 and tells me that he had been waiting outside since 1:30. haha. that guy seriously lags ALL the time! like this one friday night, we only stayed for the last 15 min. of church...and the whole thing is usually about 2 hours. haha. it's alrite though. eugene's a really a cool guy. he ALWAYS spots me whenever we go out to eat. today he spotted me and dykas...again.

so i get the Chimichunga and Carne Asada nachos. *drool* man, i have never eaten such an unhealthy burrito in my life! it's like a carne asada burrito that's been fried. haha. and boy do they know how to hook you up with meat! it was to the point where dykas was complaining that there was just too much. that's when you know that they overdid it.

dykas: man, i wish they had some rice in here.
arthur: rice?! ewwwwwww.

dykas: hey simon, does that burrito have everything in it?
simon: um, just meat and guacamole.
dykas: (really disgusted face). GROSS!

ahahahhahaha. if you don't appreciate meat like the guys, you can't hang. and gosh, don't even get me started on the carne asada nachos! each chip was deep deep fried and on some of them, you could still see the oil! i could've sworn i saw through a few of the chips. haha. and yes, mountains of just meat, cheese, and guacamole. i think they added the pinch of lettuce and tomatoes just to tease me. man, i don't know wassup with their food but food coma hits you so fast you don't even remember eating the sucker. all those hours of exercise have gone down the drain.

but today, i was feeling so unhealthy that i decided to actually work out with minh and bunz. after i ran two decent miles, i decided to do 5 sets of 20 pushups. *sigh* two words. DANG GINA! the first set was tough. the second set was i was dying. the third set, i died. man, i am REALLY out of shape folks! 5 sets are supposed to be cake. i am determined to get back into shape. i am determined to lose fat. i am determined to become a "buff homo!"

man, simon's blogs are so boring and repetitive. basketball this and basketball that. however, i finally understand how he feels cause man, i too have been playing so much ball! saturday, sunday, and once again on President's Day. every time, it's been with Jay and Dykas. but today, i finally got to play with all the other cpc guys. some of them REALLY suck and some of them striaght up ballers! not that i'm a person to judge cause i'm on the losers list. my goodness, if you only knew what kinda thoughts went on in my head as i play. anyways, it's good that i'm doing some form of exercise. i know my body hates me for doing anything to it for the last month or two.

you know, this past week i've been blessed with so many songs...

1. Sixpence None the Richer-Dont' Dream It's Over
2. Kry-Take My Hand
3. Kry-He Won't Let You Go
4. 98 Degrees-If She Only Knew (man, what a curveball!)
5. 50 Cent-In Da Club (i am now a prisoner to this song).
6. Mobb Deep-Shook Ones
7. NRG-Friend
8. NRG-Star Shining Night

today, i received a phone call from an old friend of mine. that fool called to apologize to me for being a bad friend or something and putting his gf over alotta people including me. i don't know, i can't say he's my friend anymore cause he stopped being my friend a long time ago. you can't just start being friends again you know? man, he is one persistent bastard. he told me that he got accepted to irvine but chose not to go. man, thank freakin' goodness. that would just suck if i had to see him for another 4 years. man, i'm so bitter.

Thought of the Day: Apology. Thanks.

Pretzelboi96 (11:53:23 PM): later guy

man, DK was my very first yg teacher. man, it must be crazy for him to see a 7th grader turn into a college student. it's good talking to that guy again. same ol' phil.

oh yeah, did you know that i've met sooooo many different phil's in my life? let me list them for you...

1. phil from pre-school.
2. phillip lynch-6th grade.
3. phil hwang aka B-kcpc.
4. phil kim aka DK-kcpc.
5. phil kim (my year)-kcpc.
6. phil lau-mills high school.
7. phil chung (OPC)-cpc
8. phillip something-uni studies discussion.
9. phil-guy in aaron's dorm.

i don't know about you but that's a gang of phil's to me! unfortunately, i happen to dislike the name, Philip. that's right, i dislike my own name. i don't think it sounds that great. oh well, there's alotta names that i don't like. that's kinda why i like to give alotta people nicknames. i think the best one so far would have to GGOCHU. ahahahahahah. jeah!

i don't know why but today, i was thinking about what kinds of things i find attractive in girls...

1. can play the piano very well. preferably the song, Canon in D, or any song from Yanni.
2. shoot pool very well. i don't know, it's gonna be hard to impress me cause i've gotten awful good ever since i came to college. it's possible folks. it definitely is.
3. a girl who drives a nice car. of course this makes me feel like crap cause i will never have a nice car. but i think all guys definitely feel attraction for girls with nice rides.

well yeah, there's plenty of other stuff out there like the personality, other typical talents, or physical beauty. but the three i've listed, i've yet to personally observe. i don't think i'll ever meet a girl who can attract me in all three ways. it just isn't realistic you know? it's one of those things you like to daydream about.

Thought of the Day: Disciplined and humbled. Thank You.

February 15, 2003

we had our sister's appreciation nite last night. old phil picked up the irvine freshmen around 6 so we didn't get to church til 7. for once, i didn't enjoy a church banquet, mainly b/c i didn't do anything in it. i just kinda came and went so i was a pretty bummed out about that. alotta different girls thanked me for a great night but really, they were thanking one guy who did not deserve to be thanked at all. but i'm glad they enjoyed the night. alotta the other guys worked pretty hard and seriously just showed a night of appreciation to the sisters.

best dressed male: me! naw, j/k. it definitely had to go to Chris. man, that fool was SO gangster! you can't go wrong with white suspenders. haha.
best dressed female: mariela kim. all hands down. only girl brave enough to wear something red.

skit: man, terrance is right. growing up in kcpc really spoils you. i mean, alotta people appreciated the skit and thought it was great entertainment. i don't know, it was funny and all but i just see so much more potential coming from sean. but it's not like the skit was there to impress Critical Phil. if the sisters enjoyed it, then that's all that matters right?

food: can't go wrong with italian food. i don't think a single person complained about food (except for lori who has an abnormal fear of cheese?). that's alrite though. eugene was late but eugene made and brought great food!

aaron: the boy can sing folks! i didn't hear a single mistake and he had to sing a song that requires some mad ball-squeezing. The Kry - Take My Hand And Walk. fudge. he sang such a good song. aaron makes me want to be gay.

man, i was just kinda out of it the whole night. if you didn't notice, then i was pulling it off pretty well. if you did notice, then you're looking at me too much. i just wished i did SOMETHING for the banquet. (roar).

i think my highlight of my depressing Valentine's Day was chilling in aaron's room with dykas after the banquet. i've known aaron for how many months now and last night was the first time i actually got to check out his pad. mesa court, phase 3.5 (?). not freakin' bad at all! good time of magic tricks and talking about random things...aaron's new name is "ggochu." ahahhahahahahah.

today...

i played alotta ball with simon, dykas, and jay. man, today once again convicted me to start working out again. i'm going to TRY running at least a mile everyday. back to my sets of pushups and crunches. today's humbling exercise was exactly what i needed. working out really makes you feel good. let's see how long it'll last this time. afterwards, we ate some soon doobu and tapioca express.

man, today is just a crappy day for both me and my roommate. we're both just going through some stupid stuff that's affecting how we funciton throughout the day. well, i'm not suffereing as much as him but i really feel for the guy. it depresses you when you see others depressed to you know? what is wrong with Grey Havens Room 109? oh Lord would you not comfort us! *sigh* today is definitely no day to do hw. just sit at your desk, stare at wall, and let the music do its job.

Thought of the Day: So stupid.

8 in the morning. psych. midterm review...

(professor goes over first question of midterm).
professor: who got this one correct?
(whole class raises hand except for me).

(goes over second question).
professor: who got this one correct?
(whole class raises hand except for me).

so by now, i'm expecting to at least get the next question right...
(goes over third question).
professor: who got this one correct?
(i get up from my seat and leave the lecture hall).

i refuse to sit in a class for over an hour, listening to the professor go over the whole midterm that i bombed. 300 students in this course. i'm the only idiot.

i played in my second pool tourney today. this had more people than the first but it wasn't as exciting. i first played this vietnamise guy who acted all cocky. well, he wasn't exactly cocky. ok nevermind, he wasn't cocky at all...but it sure seemed like it! (i'm just bitter cause he beat me 2-1). then i played this girl for my next match! i was just shooting and she was shooting next to my table so i thought she was playing for fun. dang, homegirl even had her own stick! i didn't know what to expect but i felt like my pride would have gone down a good 100 points if i were to lose to her. not to be mean or anything but the truth is, girls just aren't that good at pool. however, i think all guys can agree with me that girls who CAN shoot pool are soooooo freakin' attractive! i mean DANG! haha. yeap, they're a rare breed but they're out there.

so long story short, i beat her easy but i have to admit that she had a very decent stroke. i beat bunz. i beat this chinese guy who was pretty good but he just choked towards the end...and i was doing pretty good too of course. =D then i had to play stupid hideo. 5-0 baby! that's right son! hideo swept me off my feet! haha. however, i ended up getting 3rd place so that was kinda rewarding. i've never won anything in any kind of tournament before...even if it just means 3 free hours at Zot Zone and a free meal at the Pub. woohoo! praise God!

but dang, the only bad thing about these tournies is that you miss Premium Night! gosh it's not even that. you miss dinner period! i think tonight was the first time in a looooooong time where i've only had lunch as my only meal of the day. stomach has shrunk but that doesn't mean i'm no longer hungry. man, it's so hard fighting the temptation to eat at this hour. but really, my body is in no condition to allow such things to enter especially at this time of the night. *grumble* Lord save me!!!

earlier today, i was trying out my outfit for tomorrow's Sister's Appreciation Nite just to see if it would work. man, trying on different stuff reminded me of dressing up for prom. dang, i loooooved that tux! haha. i guess dressing up is pretty cool. you don't get to do it everyday. if you got the right measurements, you can pull off a very slick figure. haha. but if you have disproportional body parts and unwanted fat such as myself, you can still pretend that you have a slick figure. holla! haha.

man, all i did was write write write!!! i hate writing papers! it requires so much effort and time. wouldn't it be cool if you could just print out your blog and turn that in? i can write pages and pages of stuff and it wouldn't be BS! i'd be giving my honest opinions and the teacher would get to know me a little better. oh and my assignments would have pictures! gosh, if i were the head of UCI, i'd make a whole series on this class...BLOGGING 39A-B-C! 15 UNITS. ATTENDANCE IS NOT REQUIRED. lol. open to only freshmen of course.

you know what's weird about my korean class? there's 3 girls in the class and they each have the weirdest names!

1. Fabiona.
2. Uriah.
3. Maryann.

and yes, these girls are full korean! oh but we have some pretty unpopular guy names too...

1. Leonard.
2. Emerson.
3. Dykas. lol.

man, my stupid phone was having alotta bugs the other day and now it is officially retarded. i can't turn my phone on and when i try to charge it, it says Invalid Battery. stupid piece of junk! since it's so tiny and light, i just wanna throw it against the wall. remember in Ga-eul Dong-Hwa, when Wonbin gets all pissed b/c he can't reach Song Hye Gyo? so he's in the lobby and just throws his phone at the wall and it shatters into a buncha pieces. man, that is exactly what i wanna do to this phone. haha. but anyways, since my sim card works with nokia phones, i'm using minh's old phone. i have a good chance of getting the really new ones that are super nice! minh's phone is pretty tight. it has color screen, awesome ringtones, and you can put different wallpapers! the gadget can even listen to the radio! haha. and since he's got his vietnamise connections, he can hook me up pretty well. well, i guess there's one good thing about minh do. cheap phone. yep, that's about it.

man, i found a mosquito in our room but i wasn't able to kill it. so it's flying around in our room and i'm totally paranoid. you know that feeilgn you get when you know there's a mosquito in the room and you always think it's on your neck or legs? like you could've sworn it was just on your arm and you slap it, but there's nothing there. i hate it when you're sleeping and you hear the mosquito buzzing in your ears too. gosh, that's the worst! and when you ignore it and wake up in the morning, you see the damage that stupid thing had done. you can bite me anywhere...as long as you stay away from the face. i don't want to have to scratch my face off and end up scarring it for life.

man, i can't stop thinking about who i'm going to live with next year. there's so many different options and possibilities. freakin' aaron and andrew. those bastards! as soon as they respond, i can respond. but for sure, i wanna live in Campus Village. basically a typical 2 room apt, BUT it's like $300 a month, walking distance to campus, and you get school's internet connection! *drool* how sweet is that?! i don't know why but i have this itch that i'm gonna get it. oh yeah, it's lottery so it's pretty hard to get. but if your name is chosen, you pick your 3 roommates and your set. awesome. gosh, i bet stupid andrew and aaron would totally beg me and dykas if they can change their minds. we'll see boys...

funny...

hideo: hey, don't vietnamise people smell like the jungle? yeah, they smell like the rainforest or something.

willburt: hEEy! put cho' pants back on, minh DO DO!

psych. midterm was crucial! pretty hard stuff. i totally disregarded the labeling parts so i'm gonna lose mega points for that. (haha, i said "mega."). man, this morning was no happy morning for me. last night, i decided to go to bed at 1:35. after much commotion from dormmates, i got out of bed at 3. i didn't fall asleep til like past 4? man, willburt and minh were getting a kick out of burning lint off of our socks. first socks. then slippers. then minh's shirt. lol. that's right. i only got 2 1/2 hours of sleep last night! man, it's really hard taking tests when your eyes are constantly closing on you.

mind: man! so many hard questions! so many possible answers! let's just circle a couple of C's here and a few B's there. gotta get back into bed while it's still warm!

so i'm in bed by 9 but don't fall asleep again til 10:30. just a little over an hour of sleep. definitely not a happy camper.

after such a long and fatigued day, i went to Clusters. man, these small group meetings seriously NEVER let me down! i am seriously blessed with so many good people that can turn my day of malice into a day of laughter. so we're pairing up with people to have a time of prayer and stuff and i end up with Arthur. CRAP! of all of the irvine guys, i get the loud one. haha. but we actually ended up having a pretty good talk. man, that guy is such a liberal christian. he's like soooo chill in terms of christian liberty. geez! but surprisingly, i received some good advice from such a person as Arthur.

as we were sharing today, everyone complained about how they were always tired and how everything just kinda sucked. however, Chris shared that everything was just fine and dandy in his life. he didn't do so well on his midterm but he was cool about it. he was just happy with how everything was going. no he was not apathetic. he was trusting in God's sovereignty. old phil explained to us that we tend to only go to God when we're doing bad. we're only happy when everything is going smooth. however, this should not be the case! we ought to be happy in all circumstances! this does not mean to be happy when you fail a midterm. but what it means is that we do not let these things get to us. it is when we are discontent about a grade, we put studies before God. what a good reminder!

so after Clusters, we all went to go eat some pho. *sigh* not too happy about the idea but i was willing to eat. man, phil was talking about how earlier that day, he had already eaten pho for lunch. however today, he got tired and impatient with the small spoon for the soup so he asked the waiter for a straw!!! ahahhahahhaha. freakin' sick! drinking pho juice out of a straw, now that's hardcore! (shaking head). freakin' berkeley people.

AzN1283 (11:21:22 PM): oh u know during clusters
AzN1283 (11:21:25 PM): like simon was praying for me
AzN1283 (11:21:37 PM): and then he was like "i pray for my brother dykas"
AzN1283 (11:21:43 PM): and i was trying sooo hard not to crack up
Pretzelboi96 (11:21:46 PM): ahahahahahahahahah
AzN1283 (11:21:47 PM): hahahah i never heard that before
AzN1283 (11:21:56 PM): usually people will use my regular when in prayer
AzN1283 (11:21:59 PM): but that was a first
Pretzelboi96 (11:22:00 PM): dude, you know what that means right?
AzN1283 (11:22:04 PM): yea...
AzN1283 (11:22:05 PM): sadly
AzN1283 (11:22:07 PM): its permanent
Pretzelboi96 (11:22:10 PM): dykas has officially replaced Daniel
AzN1283 (11:22:13 PM): its even permanent wit God
Pretzelboi96 (11:22:21 PM): if you hear it in a prayer, it's permanent dawg
AzN1283 (11:22:27 PM): *sigh* u scrwed me for life

oh today, simon (irvine) was telling me and dykas about how his friend's roommate went into Albertson's to buy some stuff. while she was in line, the guy in front of her was short a few dollars so she offered a few dollars to help him out. on the way out, the man asked her why she did that and she just told him it was no big deal or something. he tells her, "don't drink Pepsi." and leaves. later, the girl indentifies the man who turns out to be one of the Middle Eastern terrorists!

"i'm gonna burn that F-ing casino down!" -willburt.

yesterday was my first experience at a casino! aw man, we were soooo excited when we first got there. we were talking all postive and happy and crap...

will: if you win $100, then you bet that in and get $200. then $200 to $400!
me: then $400 to $800! then $800 to $1600!
will: and when you get $10,000, bet that in too! $20,000! then $40,000!
(after a few more minutes).
will: $130,000! FERARRI!
everyone: ahahahahahah.

dude, gambling is such a rush! there isn't much talking involved. you sit there. place your chips. watch the cards. smile or frown. when we first went in, i was super excited! i hadn't been inside a casino since i was 11? seeing all of those slots machines and gambling tables made me feel cool. like i'm old enough to do this kinda stuff now! the only negatives were the harmful secondhand smoke and the lack of chairs. it's like the only way you can rest is by sitting at a blackjack table...those sly bastards!

we all came out of that casino with cuss words and depressed faces. money gone just like SNAP! so we were driving home, looking for comfort along the way.

hideo: hey guys! 2:00!
everyone: what?!
hideo: TACO BELL!
everyone: oh!
me: haha. you said 2:00! ahahhahaaha.

anyways, Taco Bell has never tasted better. if you've lost money, the only chance of healing will come from food! yum...cow knuckles! lol.

so last night, lori (connie richards) gives me a call on my cell phone. it was really funny talking to a girl on the phone again. it's been a while. i mean, talking to girls are CLEARLY different from guys...

lori: so phil, do you wanna listen to my problem? my first problem is that...
me: (wow, she didn't even let me respond! lol).

i personally feel that i am a bad conversationist on the phone. most people tell me that i'm alrite but i honestly have to put alotta effort into it if the other person doesn't like to talk. but lori was cool. she did the talking. i did the responding. i like it that way. =D

gosh, last night was not such a good night for me. dec. 30-feb. 8 was clean. last night was not out of control but nevertheless not under control. church was difficult to attend. fortunately, the message was a really good message. "Godly living is a command, not an option." then i had a time of prayer which also healed my grieving soul. man, i am the Israel. a bastard nation that could never stay holy. here comes another start so here we go.

hmmmm, minh's supposed to be studying/sleeping and he's watching Dragonball on his computer right now. i think this indolence is contagious.

i was supposed to do some crazy studying tonight but it's just not happening. i have a midterm and a quiz tomorrow. i have another midterm on tuesday. a test on wednesday. a paper due thursday. and friday is the Sister's Appreciation Nite. omg. we took some crazy pictures at church today, but i can't spoil it for the ladies. ahhahaahhha. dang. anyways reader, you can see that i have quite a week starting tomorrow and as i said, i was supposed to study tonight. so my plan was to take a 3 hour nap during the day and study all night. however, i took my 3 hour nap, shot pool, and went online to chat and blog. (grin). screw it man! i'm just going to cram right before the midterm, pray, and take that sucker alrite?

oh yeah, my dormmates have been bagging on minh about his new haircut. he basically cut everything real short except for his really really short bangs in the front. jessica drew pictures of quails and pigeons and taped them to our door. lol.

frank: c'mon minh! let me get a cupnoodle that isn't spicy!
me: no! just eat it!
willburt: hey! listen to QUAILMAN!

ahahhahahahahaha.

this is kinda old but i just recently saw it again.

so i'm actually enjoying my writing class alot more these days. Praise God! as opposed to my english classes in high school, i am actually learning how to write! english cp was seriously a joke. ironic how cp stands for College Prepatory. uh no! i walked into my writing class with full knowledge of how to bs papers. so today, my teacher gave us a lecture on how bad we did on our papers. "no thesis....blah blah blah...irrelevant paragraphs...blah blah blah...don't expect a high grade....blah blah blah." gosh, he was like, "this is not an effort class. i do not grade you on your effort. i grade what you give me. it doesn't matter how hard you worked." so after these encouraging words, i was expecting either a D or a C. so i open up my folder and turn my paper over. B!!!! don't you just LOVE it when God pulls these jokes in your life? i mean seriously, PRAISE THE LORD! before i got my paper, i was telling myself that i had to be content with whatever i received b/c i tried my best. but this blessing just made it so much easier to be content.

(one of the last to walk out).
mr. hood: good job phil.
me: thanks. later.

today, uriah from my korean class asked me to come out to Oicas (small campus ministry) tonight. i had nothing to do so i decided to give it a chance. i think the best word to describe it is WHACK! i think i just wasn't used to the environment. people praising with weird gestures ("praising") and repeating verses over and over and over again...to the point where it seemed inappropriate. so anyways, i was at least expecting a decent message from their pastor. WHACK! i couldn't help but be so cynical throughout the thing. i mean, the guy was totally me me me, too busy trying to be funny to the crowd and not speaking God's word. so i told Uriah that i had to meet up with some friends and bounced early in the middle of the message.

oh yeah, i noticed a bad habit that i need to stop. i was talking to Uriah and we were talking about churches. she told me she went to Hollywood Baptist Church or something. as soon as i heard the word, "baptist," i immediately thought UNREFORMED BASTARD! i know it sounds funny but it's not a good thing. i have this bad image of Baptists b/c they're commonly known for being unreformed. i don't know wassup with me and unreformed faith. it just makes me angry. armeniests make me angry. they're teaching it all wrong! anyways, that's my bad habit that i need to fix. not all Baptists are bad. look at John Piper right? i could be such a pharisee!

today, i had an encouraging talk with elisa and cj. two people who supposedly can relate to my situation. i guess i'm not the lonliest person in the world. wait a min.! a realization! just now this very moment, i just remembered about Jesus who died on the cross. back in the summer, i was listening to a sermon on prayers of tears or something? ah, i forget what it's called. but in that sermon, the speaker was talking about how we can always go to God and express everything. Jesus experienced it all on the cross! he too felt like he had no friends. he too felt lonely on that cross. i'm sure he too felt that no one could relate to him. what a great God that we have! a god who understands us better than anyone else, including ourselves. *sigh* hurry up and come! i wanna go home...

"hit me!" "cool." "stay." "hit that sucker!" "split that sucker!" "holla!" "goodjob willburt." "thanks philburt."

the sounds of 21. man, it's so fun gambling with my dormmates. everyone busts out their quarters and we play in the hall. man, this is like 3 in the morning too! haha. minh is of course the only greedy fool with the balls to play dealer. haha. but seriously, him and his vietnamise tricks ALWAYS hit 20's or 21's!

so a few days ago, me, minh, and J started playing Deuces or what we call Big 2. quarter a card. pass and draw. man, i don't know what the crap happened but yesterday and today, but i made a grip of money. that's right, spell it! G-R-I-P! GRIP! seriously these days, i have a glimpse of what matt ji was going through his senior year. haha. well, that fool was hardcore cause he'd be playing for shoes or hundreds of dollars! i keep it cool though...quarters are straight. yeah, it's quite a rewarding game playing with minh and J. i LOVE hearing minh scream the F word. i LOVE hearing J go DAMMIT! ahahahahahahaha. screw 21! it's all about Big 2!

oh geez, they're playing 21 again. haha. lots of F words involved. lol. i'm gonna do this to you and do that to you!

so b/c of all this nonsense, i've been getting minimal sleep. go to sleep at 4. wake up at 7:30. as sean said, "i was a living vampire my freshmen year."

highschool freshmen make a big deal out of homecoming. juniors make a big deal about SATS. seniors make a big deal about prom. college freshmen make a big deal about next year's living situations. i know there's no point in trippin' about it right now but that's just like asking Riverside to stop smelling. it's inevitable! right now, it's me and dykas for sure. the potentials are...
1. andrew.
2. arthur.
3. leonard.
4. hideo?

man, it'd be sweet if andrew and aaron just decided to live with us for sure. all 4 irvine freshmen together in one apt.. but no, the bastards have cooler friends than us. man, arthur shouldn't even be on that list! haha. i mean, he's cool and alrite to talk to.

ok, i found the perfect song of the day.

Limp Bizkit-Break Stuff
you know what's the worst thing to experience during an 8:00 class? sitting next to people who just won't shut the f...i mean be quiet! it's bad enough that you have to go to class in the first place. but to wake up at 7:30 after finally falling asleep around 3:30, the least you desire is a lecture that you can pay attention to. i mean dude, that guy and girl were just messed up, talking about random things, making fun of the teacher, and laughing at stupid jokes. it wasn't just getting to me either cause i would see people around me give them ambiguous looks. anyways, the only plus about that class today was that i got to see that cute upperclassmen again. no, she did not sit next to me but i did get to see her! (grin). yeah otherwise, that lecture sucked!

(doing a test).
professor: somebody over here make a noise.
student: hi!
professor: now, somebody over there make a noise!
student: baaah!
everyone: ahahahahahahahah.

so i have 10 minutes until i have to go to my Uni. Studies discussion. man, i really hate this class! well, more than the class i really hate the discussion leader, Tanya. she's this third year who acts REALLY annoying! she's like one of those valley girl accents and gives this fake laugh after every other sentence. oh yeah, and she ALWAYS wears pink! it's like freakin' wear-a-stupid-pink-thing-day everyday for her! "c'mon guys, why are you guys always so quiet?" and i just can't help but think, "because we hate you!" ok, the word, "hate," is a bit strong but she really knows how to push my buttons...especially when i haven't gotten much sleep the night before. i admonish you now Tanya, if you call on me today, it's over!

Thought of the Day: *sigh*
Song of the Day: It's just too early.

February 2, 2003

i went to bed pretty late last night...6am? i just needed to digest my food before going to sleep so i stayed up making a whole buncha winamp skins. man, i define LOSER! so i woke up around 2 today. and just as i said i would, i studied the WHOLE DAY! i literally just finished studying 15 min. ago...2:45am. the day sure does go by quickly when you're being productive. i don't think i've ever done that. just dedicate a whole day to studying. ok, i'm cheating. i took a pool break and did my laundry. but in my eyes, i was one studying machine. simon, don't say anything.

oh my highlight of the day was my dinner! since Pippins closes at 1:30 and opens again at 5, i didn't get to eat anything for a while. so as soon as my microwave showed the digits 5, 0, 0, i was outta my room! i normally don't talk about dorm food b/c it's just the same ol' stuff but for some reason, today's meal made my taste buds overflow with tears. gosh, sausage ravioli, ugly potatoes, warm grilled cheese bread, and my moutain of salad. *sniff* it was beautiful! i think it'd be funny watching myself eat. i know i don't eat like most people, especially when i'm hungry. i like go into this trance or zone and don't come out of it unless someone talks to me or my plate is empty. some people interpret it as eating with passion. others see it as strong concentration. *shrug* to me, all i'm doing is eating. anyways, i was like in my zone and since i was eating alone, there were no distractions. however, i noticed people were looking at me and sometimes i forget to wipe my face. haha. someday, i'm going to just tape myself eating and watch it with my brother. lol. now that's comedy!

lately, i've been listening to alotta breakbeats. ever since tony, terrance's roommate, gave me this site to a whole bunch of available albums, i've been doing some crazy dling every time i'm online. man, breakbeats are really cool. i think its like the ideal beat to dance to. you can pop, break, or just dance to it. not too fast and not to slow. this music was like meant to get your head bopping.

Thought of the Day: Thank you Lord for helping me study.

last day with xanga premium. might as well post up a few more pictures while i can.
the month of january has finally disappeared. man, what a crazy month! i feel like so much has happened in the past 31 days. i got alot closer with church people...particularly the freshmen! both winter and freshmen retreats were just awesome. but not only them. i also got alot closer with the irvine guys...eugene, chris, sean, and jay. those guys are really cool. i'm not sure how well the rest of cpc knows them but dude, us irvine guys are seriously one cool group. man, God really blessed me in coming to irvine. so many great people i've met.

man, today was such a hot day! i woke up a little after 12 and ate some lunch with hideo. after lunch, i went back to bed and woke up at 3:30. dude, i woke up with a really sweaty face and a dry mouth. it's sooooo much hotter when you're sleeping on a bunk cause all the heat rises and stuff. man, such crucial weather during january! i think it was 94 degrees today...well, at least that's what it said on hannah's profile.

after church, we went to eugene's place (it's becoming a regular thing to do) and just chilled there. i just went on the computer while the others were playing Smash. but around 1:30, sean and simon took us to BCD, this really good soon doobu place that's 24 hours. man, that crap hit the spot just right! tasty and not too spicy. stomach satisfied but not about to explode. geez, it was just the right meal. i haven't had an enjoyable meal like that in a while.

simon: yeah, and there was this glass counter...
sean: you know that if you see glass in your dreams, it's bad luck right?
simon: really?
sean: no, i just made that up right now.
everyone: ahahahahaha.

simon: yeah, and there was this purple chicken...
sean: you know if you see purple, it means your gay...
simon: shuttup!

ahahahahahah. oh yeah, speaking of meals...

today, we went over the Lord's Supper in church. it was really good b/c i now have a better understanding of it all. i feel like i always say that though. i mean, i think i know stuff but when we go over it, i feel so ignorant and forgetful. so yeah, we're taking communion this sunday night. that's right not sunday morning but sunday night. i think that's kinda cool how we kinda make it separate. it makes it seem more signifcant, more recognizable and important. haha. goldfish and grapejuice for communion. ahahahahahaha.

dude, my feet smell really bad right now. i'm wearing my slippers and my feet are stretched out underneath my desk...but i can still smell it! it's kinda funny you know? it's weird how when you smell something really bad, you can't help but laugh about it right? like when you're with your friends and someone farts. i mean, everyone's going to laugh if it's loud, but it makes us laugh even harder when it smells horrible, does it not? lol. i think the same goes for my feet. like as i am typing about this embarrassing fact, i am typing with a smile on my face. ahahahahaha. that also reminds me of the time when i was chillin' at PJ's place late at night after a dance. man! my feet smelled soooooooo bad! we put a blanket over my feet but you could STILL smell that crap. i mean, it was really really bad. tiffanie knows. lol. i know she can't forget that.

words that i use alot now...

1. jeah!
2. crucial.
3. whack.
4. manky.
5. gang of...
6. jeah!

freakin' sean dude. all of the irvine guys use "crucial" now!
