(yesterday).
dykas: so what're you doing tonight?
me: i don't know. unpack. blog. wait, no blog.
dykas: hahahahaha. yeah right! you're gonna blog! you always do!
me: naw man. sometimes, i tell myself i'm going to blog and i really have alot to write about. but after i open up the blogger and everything, i'm just too tired and write it the next day.
i told you dykas.
dang it! i hate it when i have so much to talk about for one entry. i always forget the specifics and don't emphasize the significance of important matters. let's see strong my memory is.
tuesday:
i went to go eat pho with my mom and this couple from her workplace. we went to Vietnam Village in San Bruno, which is probably my favorite pho place in the world. so i never met these people and my mom and i were waiting outside for them to come. i see this old man walking towards us and i hear my mom greeting. so i make good strong eye contact with him, bow, and say hello. he gives me this awkward look and nods his head. then i see my mom walking towards this younger gentleman and his wife greeting them instead. DOH!
so i tried to make myself feel a little better by telling myself that i'll probably never see him ever again. but goodness does God have a sense of humor! of all the tables in the restaurant, the waiter sits us at a table RIGHT next to the old man! i try even harder to make myself feel better by telling myself that he's probably vietnamise and he probably didn't understand what i was saying to him. (shaking head). korean was straight off the boat.
i actually asked for a regular pho tai, but the guy told me to eat a large one. ugh. i killed the pho but it also left me with some uncomfortable wounds. i just cannot enjoy pho like i used to. that lunch was just a really bad lunch for me.
wednesday:
i finished the fifth video of "All-In." cj told me that the story turns out like crap and i think i know what he meant. i think i saw just up to what i would have enjoyed. the fourth video had a climax of song hye gyo's beauty (fudge!) and the fifth video ended with the cool gambling. the rest is garbage and i'm happy those were the only videos that were available.
but later that day, i was thinking about my summer situation and what was going to happen. so i talked to my mom about what was going to happen with simon and i guess she's going to end up staying here with him as he goes to mills cause my dad hasn't given any certain response yet. then i started thinking about how i wanted to work over the summer and that a car would be necessary. she actually thought about it and called up this one dealer who was good friend's with one of our friends. unfortunately, the guy really recommended that i did not buy a car til my junior year cause he thought that i could manage without one. he told my mom that he had three younger sons and he completely understood my situation. i felt like he made me look really stupid, bothering my mom that i needed a car even though i REALLY didn't need one. dude, of COURSE you can say that i can manage without one til my third year. shoot, you can even say that i can manage without one til i get married. but my working and commuting situation would be kinda difficult without one, especially in a place like irvine!
after coming back from seeing my brother's improved pool skills, i saw that chang was at my house talking to my mom. they talked about the whole car thing and chang told me that PJ was selling his old car. a market value of $1500, willing to sell to me for $500! i wasn't jumping for joy but i was happy that i had a chance of buying a car for dirt cheap!
later that night, chang took me to his place in san bruno. quite spatious with a cozy room. i like it alot. the only negative is that you have to quiet cause of the old lady who lives upstairs. but the real reason why chang brought me to his place was cause he wanted to take me to Cache Creek as a birthday present! haha. aw man, what an experience! we both started off kinda bad but we soon started to rake in the goods! before we went in, i told him that i was going to stop if i made $100. but dude, when you've made so much money in so little time, money becomes nothing. you don't mind if it disappears and you smile at your wins...
chang: alrite phil, BIG CAJUNAS!
me: alrite chang, if we're going down, we're going down in flames!
compromise after compromise after compromise. greedy phil. you don't know when to quit until your pocket is lacking chips. and that's exactly how i left the casino.
even though i lost money in a rather stupid way, i learned alot about myself. the sinfulness. the change in heart. never in my mind was i thinking about glorifying God through gambling. it was all about WIN WIN WIN! haha. it's funny when you think about it, but it's kinda sad when you REALLY think about it. i think God took my money away to show how far away i was from him...not just at that moment but throughout my whole spring break. that night, i kept telling myself that the next time i go gambling, i'm DEFINITELY NOT going to compromise ever again. but more than that, i told myself that i needed God so much more.
thursday:
so i picked up my very first car. '94 Mazda Protege. black. 6 cd changer. power windows. power locks. Praise God! talk about provision at the right time. i didn't have a ride back down so i was about to fly down for $100. instead, i spent five plane tickets' worth and got myself a car that i can use for at least a year. may i use this car for God's glory!!!
later that night, dykas and i watched Moulin Rouge at his place. i never did understand why so many people appreciated this movie. everyone jabbering about how great the songs were and how they watched the movie over 10 times. i just never understood it...until that night! just as dykas predicted, i appreciated the movie so much more the second time. the songs are awesome! the choreography was well done and the story was emotional. the only thing i didn't like was the secular message of the movie: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and to be loved in return. in the words of PJ: HOGWASH!
friday:
so i only get three hours of sleep and take off with dykas. this was the first time i drove the whole way down to so. cal. for some reason, this drive down wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. became more and more accustomed with the car and drove at a good pace. we actually got to la in like 5 1/2 hours. unfortunately, that happened to be 5:00 and traffic was hitting us hard up the butt: lots of heat, no gas, no sense of familiarity, and legs dying of pain. 2 hours.
however, we did find church and was only an hour late for the Brothers' Appreciation Nite. it was really cool with the whole sports theme going on. a whole buncha girls dressed up in jerseys and mariela rollerblading around the whole place. haha.
highlights:
1. elisa, carol, rebecca, and suzy busting unexpected grooves.
2. mariela's embarassing stories. (it's nice to see that you're not the only one in the world who's a complete moron).
3. dykas slowdancing with priscilla! (can this night GET any better?!).
4. the encouragement circle.
i thought the encouragement circle was really original and thoughtful. however, i couldn't help but feel a bit arrogant throughout the "encouragement time." for example, when one quality was said, there'd be moments where i'd expect a whole buncha taps and pokes. i'd start thinking about how i'd be receiving alot more taps than another person. you get the idea. a very sinful and arrogant attitude. on the other hand, i also couldn't help but feel really guilty and humbled. when i did get alotta taps for a certain quality, i was definitely thinking about how i really did NOT deserve to get touched at all. if only these girls knew what kinda person i really was. if they only knew what kinda stuff goes on in my heart. the encouragement circle was very kind and flattering. but it also reminded me of how ungodly i was and how much more i need to be like Christ.
so me, being the type who likes to analyze and criticize, started listing in my head all of the weaknesses and unfortunate things of the banquet. but i started thinking about how it's always so much easier to point out the bad things rather than the good things. this took my thoughts to a whole new level. i thought about all the effort, the time, the patience, the love. what can i say? the banquet definitely accomplished its purpose. i felt very appreciated. thank you sisters!
driving home was kinda weird. i felt very naked not driving with eugene. i mean, it has ALWAYS been with me, dykas, and aaron. oh well. i'd better start getting used to this.
gosh, arriving back in my dorm was such a pain! my key wouldn't work on any of the doors for some reason and not a single person was in the dorms! so i ended up breaking into my room for the first time. i practically broke the screen thing but put it back on the window. man, i was super duper tired from the lack of sleep, all the driving, and yeah all the driving! i took a nice shower, unpacked, and cleaned up. i was a little unhappy with myself cause i forgot to bring back my irvine shorts. i'm going to have to ask my mom to send those to me.
but yeah, my other roommate, kiyoshi, is gone. i guess he couldn't stand another quarter with me and minh. i really can't blame the guy. one quarter is ok and two maybe. but three is probably unbearable which is why he didn't even bother to tell me before he left. all his stuff is gone so minh and i are either expecting a new guy or a huge room to ourselves! goodbye kiyoshi...dang, i wish i knew how to apologize in japanese.
but dude, i checked my grades even though the lines were super busy!
winter quarter grades:
Korean 1B: A+
Psychology 9B: B-
Writing 39B: B-
University Studies 2: C+
GPA: 3.080
WOOHOO! dude, you don't even understand. these grades are seriously proof that God exists. and not just ANY GOD, but a GRACIOUS GOD! haha. i laughed at the A+ i got in korean. i gasped at my psychology grade. not only did i pass, but i got a B-! that means i got at LEAST an 84% on the final! fudge dude. incredible i tell ya. (fingers pointing to the sky). i was a little disappointed with the C+ cause uni. studies is supposed to be a certain GPA booster! unfortunately, it only hurt me. but yeah, i actually got over a 3.0! what a crazy quarter. this was all God folks.
this finally brings us to today. friday, march 29, 2003. my birthday. 19 years old. my last teen year.
i woke up to SUCH a good sleep from last night. i slept over 10 solid hours which included a bad dream which i cannot seem to remember right now. but that's ok. just as tiffanie mentioned, the weather was just so good today! man, i thought up north was pretty warm. *ahem* NO WAY! it is sooooo much hotter down here! i had to wear all white with a pair of shorts today. if this is just spring, i don't even wanna think about how hot it's going to be during the summer.
so dykas took me out to Claimjumper today. just the two of us since aaron or the other irvine guys couldn't make it. but that's fine. man, ordering an appetizer was a fat mistake. dykas ordered the Widow Maker (ahahahahahahah) and i ordered the Frisco Burger. we ordered the Nachos Platter as an appetizer just to get started. it was the biggest nacho thing i've ever seen in my life. quite delectable and unhealthy. it was very unfortunate cause by the time we were done, we didn't have any room to eat our burgers. and these weren't just any burgers! these mothers were humoginous! just as eugene said, everyone takes their food home.
dykas also took me out to go watch Basic with John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. i didn't like it much but he seemed to appreciate it. i thought it was too confusing and the ending was too sudden. *shrug* if you wanna know more about it, talk to dykas since he's the weirdo who liked it. but i do thank him for taking me out this whole day.
today, we also went to Target and i bought an air freshener for the car. i also bought Jaci Velasquez's no cd, Unspoken. i usually don't buy cds but since i have all of her other albums, i had to buy this one too. only 12.99 too!
alotta people wished me a Happy Birthday today. i do thank you all for the kind words. i'm a little disappointed that some of my closer friends didn't call, write, or even message a Happy Birthday to me. *shrug* it's cool though. i'd like to specially thank lisa and elisa for text messaging me...even though that was what woke me up, it started my day just fine. tiffanie, thanks for the voicemail. you never call but the message was very thoughtful of you. thank you. i even wanna thank eunice for wishing me a "happy HAPPY birhtday!" haha. the little girl doesn't even know me that well but she somehow found out about this date and gave me a kind im. and to the rest of the ims that i received. thank you everyone! may my 19th year of life truly be pleasing to God!

so i'm finally up north. the drive up north with chang was pretty cool. you know, the usual chang stuff...theological conversations, his sermon tapes, funny stories, and korean music. eating with that guy is always a good time. when he came to pick me up, he took me and dykas to BCD's. crap, there's just something about eating with that guy. every meal is soooo good!
during our trip, we took kevin and ate some good korean food in Cerritos. while we were eating, they started talking about the war. man, that's all people talk about these days...the war in Iraq. i never thought about which side i was on...am i for it or against it? at first, i was against it cause my teacher (an actual protestor) gave us all these reasons how Bush was just starting war to get oil from Iraq. so i was thinking yeah sure, i guess this war is crap. you have to understand, i am soooo not up to date on anything cause i don't watch ANY tv or read any news on the internet. definitely my irresponsibility. anyways, after hearing chang and kevin duke it out, i realized that the war was totally necessary. the US gave several warnings with much time but Siddam continued to refuse to show the weapons. i guess it's like discipline. if a son refuses to show the father what's in his backpack in fear of getting caught with harmful potentials, the father is obviously going to do something about it. in our case, war was the last resort and our only reasonable answer. people who are against the war are against it just b/c they don't want people to die. yes, it's unfortunate that people die but yes, we are saving lives at the same time. and yes, the only way you can justify war is by having one standard for your morals...God.
note: i encourage you to read Chang's blog in my Links section. very good blogs on theology and the war.
so if you haven't noticed already, my screenname has been absent from buddylist and my blog has been silent for days. *sigh* my mom cancelled by internet until my brother got a new computer, which he still has not. i guess it's good though cause you realize how much time you spend using the net. all the aim and internet use. i mean, it kinda sucks cause you lose alotta convenience such as chatting with multiple friends at once, emailing, checking movie times, and in my case looking for a flight down south. i have no ride down south so i may have to fly down. i'll actually be able to make it to Brother's Appreciation Nite so that'll be cool.
these days, i've just been chillin' with my old high school friends. sunday night, we went bowling cause it was matt's birthday...
pat: (out of frustration). dude...THE HELL!
everyone: ahahahahahhaha.
played ALOTTA ball yesteday. 4 hours. i formed blisters, tore them, and grew new ones on the open wounds all in those 4 hours. gross no? but it was alotta fun cause we were all doing pretty well. afterwards, pat's mom made us food so we came over to eat. we watched Kung Pao....ahahahahhahah. that was one of the stupidest movies i've ever seen in my life! but omg some parts were freakin' hilarious. definitely worth the watch. "i'm coming!" "i'm coming!" (shakes head). "no." ahahahaha.
afterwards, we actually started "All-In" (korean drama) together! haha. it's kinda funny watching a korean drama with 3 other guys...especially my friends. alotta fun with our obvious predictions, different hypotheses, and mixed opinions on song hye gyo. man, she's pretty cute in this one. she lost alotta weight since the last time i saw her. good stuff. well, we have like 7 more videos to go, each one almost 2 hours? well, time to satisfy our addiction again. later.
at first...
me: hey, let's just watch the first one just to see what it's about!
bs: phil, don't! don't put it in!
after the first video...
bs: alrite, we're coming over again tomorrow.

Cupholder!
so i'm officially on spring break now. i finished all of my finals and actually JUST received my grade for Writing. B-. i was really hoping for that solid B so that i wouldn't have to take 39C, but little by little i'm becoming more accepting. i tried super hard in that course but i know that if i just gave my effort a slight nudge, i would've finished that extra mile and received my prize. how unfortunate but that's really my fault.
my korean final was cake. before the final, i asked dykas if he wanted to race to see who would finish first for 5 bucks. the chicken crap didn't want to...probably cause i would've beaten him. but dang, i never knew so many people took Korean 1B. i am not the only ignorant soul in irvine who sucks at korean. this class will be a(n) A-/B+.
and my FINAL final (no pun intended) was University Studies. possibly the easiest final i've ever taken in my life. let's just say the test started at 1:40 and i got out before 2:00. haha. what a joke! but the really funny thing about that class is that the best grade i can get is a B-? what can i say...my indolence and picky discussion leader really grilled me in this class that's supposed to be a gpa booster. this class will be C, C+, or B-. pathetic.
psych. will probably be a C-/C. so i guess my best case scenario is a 2.85 this quarter. man, didn't even get 3.0. it's a wonder how some engineer majors out there can pull of 3.0+ gpas! that's just awesome. or i'm just stupid. but i do praise God for such a quarter. it was truly one difficult quarter for me. lots of different things went on in my life in jan., feb., and march. crazy three months. but through it all, God was always there with me.
for clusters, we went to this place where they served dduk-bo-sam. it's like eating good korean meat with cut up lettuce. but instead of wrapping it in "ssam," you wrap it in thin sliced "dduk." pretty good stuff. definitely not worth the money but it was a good experience...kinda like the comedy club. it had a good time but i'll probably never do it ever again. =D
wed. night, i played the most pool i've ever played in my life! 7 1/2 hours my friend. 6:30pm-2:00am. you can call me a loser. you call me a freak. all i can say is, i played some intense games with my friends. when you're playing well against good players like hideo, you don't call it quits. you're in a zone. time does not exist. hunger does not exist. well ok, maybe hunger does. haha. but it was cool cause i saw alotta different workers getting on and off their shifts. and the last one, i had a few talks with him and we became kinda cool. as zot zone was closing, everyone left except for me and hideo. so we go up to pay and he looks at how long i've played...
worker: JESUS CHRIST!
me: ahahahhaahhaha.
worker: dude, just give me .99. this would've been like $40!
well, it would've actually only been a little less than $20 but that guy was really cool. nice guy.
eugene took me, dykas, and aaron apt. searching yesterday. man, we searched and searched and finally found a nice place in Park West. supposedly aaron's friend already has a first floor reserved so it should work out fine. man, i can't wait til i move into the apts! it's kinda like the same feeling i had before i moved into the dorms. i think we're also living with a guy named derek.
last night, i went to go watch The Life of David Gale with annie and J since we all had nothing to do. J paid for my ticket and Annie bought us food. it was like my birthday present from them. haha. man, that was a pretty good movie. kevin spacey continues to never let me down. he is SUCH an awesome actor! he seriously becomes the character. you can't help but wonder if he's really weird in real life cause he's so good in his movies. i appreciate that guy with so much passion. while i was watching the movie, i paid more attention to his acting than the actual plot. but yeah, the plot was pretty good too. you can't stop the movie halfway. you gotta finish it to really appreciate it. man, crazy ending!
so i'm waiting for chang to come pick me up. that guy's phone is messed up or something so i can't get a hold of him. i wonder what's going on!

March 18, 2003
so i just got out of my psych. final. i went in at 8am. i finished exactly at 9:25am. there's still a good number of poor souls still taking it as i speak. *sigh* let's rewind a bit shall we?
so as i wrote earlier today, i seriously studied my arse off. i mean, you wouldn't believe just how much pressure i was studying under. this is a one midterm one final course. i got a 58% on the midterm. i basically had to get a 75% or better on the final in order to pass the class. you have to understand, failing a course was a big NONO that i wanted to avoid. failing this course meant that all the times i had slept at 4 in the morning and had to wake up 7:30, all those pages i had read in place of my happy time, all the different emotions and prayers and time spent would ALL BE A WASTE. let me repeat that for you...ALL BE A WASTE! on top of that, i would have to take summer school and pay $350 for one course?! seriously, no one but God Himself could understand what kinda garbage i went through this quarter as i took Psychology 9B. trust me guys, it was quite a ride.
you can only imagine a glimpse of what kinda stress i had. if you ask my roommate, he knows that the stress i was dealing with daily affected my attitude (caution: don't get on my nerves when i'm stressed cause you just might lose an eye), my ravenous appetites would go down the drain, and OMG...my sleeping life was seriously no life at all. sleep became minimal. dreams became nightmares. missing class became regular.
i will never forget march 17, 2003. 3pm-12:30am. i studied. yes, i know i already told you this a million times but shuttup and listen again. i had maxed out and even though i knew i hadn't quite satisifed my goals, my brain just woudl not accept any new information. i tried going to bed at 1:30 cause i was exhausted. then all of a sudden, as if it were all planned by Satan, came all the horrible thoughts. fact: stress deprives you of sleep. i prayed to God (again) about all my stress and worries and grace and mercy. such a desperate prayer. so i got out of bed, turned on my computer and decided to watch Friends til i got tired...3 hours later. haha. this show really took my mind off things and my stress slowly disappeared. i tried to go to bed at 5 and didn't fall asleep til 5:30.
alarm clock goes off at 6:30, i do my qt, drink a caramel Frappuchino, brush my teeth, get changed, do my hair, and start reviewing again. scroll back up and you'll be up to date.
if i wanted to write every little detail about my thoughts on the final, Blogger would probably cancel my membership with them for writing such a novel. all i know is that i passed Psych 9B. i wanna say that the test was cake but i really don't want to get ahead of myself. all of those hours and efforts really paid off. as i was walking back to my dorm, i was feeling really delirious with the caffeine wearing off and my lack of sleeping really hitting my body. but all i could think of were two words. PRAISE GOD! i was overwhelmed with grace as God once again blessed me through this final. phil, such a sinful and faithless moron who made school an idol, was shown grace from his God again. with dragging steps and tearful eyes, my heart gave all the glory to God.
wouldn't it be funny if i actually ended up failing the course?
(NEW) Thought of the Day: All glory to God.
so as i wrote earlier today, i seriously studied my arse off. i mean, you wouldn't believe just how much pressure i was studying under. this is a one midterm one final course. i got a 58% on the midterm. i basically had to get a 75% or better on the final in order to pass the class. you have to understand, failing a course was a big NONO that i wanted to avoid. failing this course meant that all the times i had slept at 4 in the morning and had to wake up 7:30, all those pages i had read in place of my happy time, all the different emotions and prayers and time spent would ALL BE A WASTE. let me repeat that for you...ALL BE A WASTE! on top of that, i would have to take summer school and pay $350 for one course?! seriously, no one but God Himself could understand what kinda garbage i went through this quarter as i took Psychology 9B. trust me guys, it was quite a ride.
you can only imagine a glimpse of what kinda stress i had. if you ask my roommate, he knows that the stress i was dealing with daily affected my attitude (caution: don't get on my nerves when i'm stressed cause you just might lose an eye), my ravenous appetites would go down the drain, and OMG...my sleeping life was seriously no life at all. sleep became minimal. dreams became nightmares. missing class became regular.

eugene and i started doing devotionals together on friday. we decided to read proverbs on our own and go over a chapter of Romans every time we met up. even though i do devotionals every morning, i think this will be really good for me b/c i've only been doing OT qts for the past year and a half. i know i should read alotta NT too but i just felt that i should stick with the OT so that i can finish it. but this will be a good balance for me, trying to finish the OT and still going over an awesome book like Romans. i really enjoy having fellowship with eugene. i remember the first time i met him, i thought he was one of those church goers who just went for fun and was very "untheological." but i also remember that same friday, he was like asking all these questions to dennis and he seemed to be pretty into Bible Study. but yeah, i feel like we agree on alotta points in our discussions and theology. i should really take advantage of these times. this once again comes to show that God truly uses the weak to be the strong...well, not that eugene is a weak christian or anything. i mean, he's not strong but...um...ok, i'm just digging a bigger hole for myself. eugene is a good discipler. haha.
but friday was a really good time of prayer for me. feeling all dry and indifferent about praising God, as always i tried really hard to pray. i think it's so true how when you don't know what to say to God, our Spirit really provides us with words that we cannot express. it was really difficult but all i could think of was SHOW ME YOUR GLORY!!! it's time like this where your heart is just full of faith and you're desperate for God to listen to you. man, the Holy Spirit is an awesome thing. such a powerful thing.
afterwards, i got a chance to share and pray with aaron. i see that guy about 3 times a week but we rarely have time to just talk you know? but friday was really good how we just shared about alotta different struggles and praises. i really like him cause he's a great listener. i already shared this with a friend, but he's a great person to talk to. very understanding and considerate. i encourage you guys to get to know him better.
man, i woke up feeling all sick on saturday. i ate some lunch and started studying for my psych. final. after an hour, i felt really tired and weak. body was aching and i felt like i had a minor flu. fortunately, 3 hours of sleep is just what the doctor prescribed. an annoying runny nose but i'll live. i studied from 7-12:30, but actually didn't meet my goal in memorizing all of my index cards. after i got another haircut from willburt, my brain was fried so i felt like i had maxed out. unfortunately, my body didn't want to fall asleep til after 5am so i had to try extra hard to pay attention in church today. gosh, my sleeping schedule is soooo whack these days! it's officially, no earlier than 4am now.
my profile...
Pretzelboi96 (11:49:48 PM): i go to sleep at 4 or 5 everynight
Vantilian522 (11:50:04 PM): hahhaha...so you all bad now, eh?
so today's my wittle brudder's berf-day! the big 1-4! i gave him a call after dinner just to wish him Happy Birthday. gosh, i can't believe no one got him any presents! no one remembered his birthday except for my family. dang, i felt really bad for him, not having the fun treatment he deserves while he's still young. i mean, i soooo would've taken him out if i was up north. it'd be a day totally dedicated to that fat kid. i remember when i turned 14. no one remembered my birthday except for my bestfriend. he got me SES's first album in this badly wrapped gift. but gosh, what a great gift! but anyways, i really feel for sharkface. i can't believe you bastards didn't do anything for him!!!
man, i had another bad dream today. i dreamt that my dad died and it was during funeral time. as i had expected, i was in shock and didn't show any signs of depression. but slowly, i started feeling really really sad in front of alotta people at a party in our new house. then i woke up.
why am i having all these bad dreams? "what's goiiiiiiiiin oooooooon!" i think it's b/c earlier today, a friend of mine called me and told me that her mom was in the hospital under critical condition. she sounded really sad and i felt really bad for her. man, i just cannot imagine losing any of family members right now. lately, there's been alotta reminders to never take your loved ones for granted. but at the same time, it's not like you can have that attitude every moment of your life! just imagine how abnormal your life would be right? but i guess that's why there's reminders here and there from time to time. i've just been getting it alot these days.
so phil, do you even have any good news at all? why of course i do!
good news #1:
i was standing in line to get some food and this really really cute korean girl stands behind me. i mean, you see some pretty freshmen here and there but this one definitely caught my attention. every time i see an attractive girl, i am obligated to inform my roommate, minh. it was funny cause...
minh: man, that's the same girl you always think is cute! that's YOUR girl! all of grey havens knows!"
J: yeah, that's the same girl you guys thought looked like boa when you guys saw her up close, you guys didn't think she was that cute.
funny how i don't even realize that i check out the same girls every time. it's kinda like i have anterograde anmesia...inability to make new memories. (yep, that's the psychology talking). but dang dude, she's so cute!
good news #2: olivia got into LA and marshall got into Irvine! congratulations young ones. i am very proud of you two.

this morning, i was just chillin' with dykas and aaron. aaron was talking about his spiritual life or something and i just shared my opinion on the matter. then dykas just butts in and tells me to shuttup, saying that i always say stupid christian things. i got a little offended and just told him that i was just giving my opinion. then we got into this whole argument and i started yelling at him about being so stubborn about the subject. i was so upset that i was even considering punching him in the face just to shut him up!
today in my psych. class, the teacher gave us this short assignment to do. i thought that it'd just be hw so i didn't think much of it. there was this indian guy who was working really hard and answered all the questions that the professor asked. then i realized that the teacher was no longer my original professor...it was this new woman! so she tells us all to turn the assignment in and i don't even understand a single thing. she gets really pissed at me and i ask her if i could just turn it in tomorrow. NO!!!
and then i wake up...
i haven't had a nightmare in a REALLY long time! the last vivid nightmare i remember having was last last thanksgiving...when i woke up believing that tiffanie died. dude, these two dreams were just BAD! after i woke up to the first dream, i was so relieved that it was just a dream. after i woke up to the second dream, i was even more relieved. i remember my heart was beating really fast b/c of all the stress coming from these unhappy thoughts. i am almost certain that i had these bad dreams b/c i went to bed feeling all stressed out about my psych. final. right now, i have a 58% in the class and i have to get a 75% to pass the course. if i get a 75% on the final, i pass the course. but yeah, that's all that's been on my thoughts these days.
so today was the last day of my writing class. i turned in my final paper and filled out some evaluation sheets. this class was one stressful mother that i hated with a passion. however, i must admit that this was the best writing class i have ever taken in my life. it's like i learned how to write for reals for the first time! gosh, i REALLY hope that i get a B in this course. if i get a B, then i don't have to take 39C, which is even harder than 39B! i can't even imagine but every person i know HATES that class. well, i've done all i can. all i can do now is wait.
last night, i went to ccm again with dykas and aaron. yesterday happened to be this "progressive dinner" thing where there's different parts of the meal at different people's houses...each grade responsible for a part. it's like a good way to get to know people b/c we all split up into smaller groups. alotta the ccm people didn't recognize me at first b/c of my short hair but they all thought it looked real nice. haha. i met esther who actually happened to be in one my discussions! it's crazy when you find out certain people are korean and christian. but what's NOT surprising is how many freakin' people are from cerritos or torrance! a whole population i tell ya. but it was cool cause i met alot more people than last time. it's kinda like how it was at cpc at first. the number of people you meet grows exponentially by the week. but yeah, it seems like this whole "phykas" thing is spreading like wildfire.
i shot in another pool tourney again. it was pretty cool cause sharon and simone actually recognized me from outside and said hi to me. haha. those two are pretty funny. every time i see sharon, she looks like a different person and the more i see simone, the more she reminds me of susan from cpc. i think that's such a cool name, simone. it's like "simon" but with an E. but it still sounds like a guy's name. *shrug* simone.
so i actually ended up getting 3rd place again. the thing was, i got to play shawn who is supposedly irvine's #1 player. that guy freakin' swept me...5-0. it was kinda embarrassing losing to him that bad. i can imagine the thoughts he must've had while playing me. argh! BUT i did get another 6 free hours at the zotzone so that was pretty cool. and omg, hideo got 1st place again! he beat shawn like pretty bad cause shawn was doing really bad tonight...even though he raped me up the butt! gosh, hideo is so good now! it's so encouraging to see one of your friends who started shooting with you as a beginner actually become an expert. yeah, hideo's awesome.
so this past week, i've been pretty dry in terms of my spiritual life. i don't know if it's b/c of all the finals coming up and whatnot. but even so, my spiritual life certainly should not rely on my academic life. too many times this has been the case. if my grades were pretty good or if my classes were pretty easy, my walk with God was "good." basically, the condition of my happiness was the condition of my grades. pretty pathetic no? i mean, of all the years i've been in school, i think this year has been the most idolatrous in terms of putting school before God. and it's like i know all of this too. i realize that i have a serious idol and i know that i have to "give it up." but how do you do that when your faith is just so low and your prayers to God are seriously meaningless? why should God listen to a prayer that is so faithless? do you see my problem? so now, i ask God to give me the faith that i lack. and even in this act, i lack faith! i have no faith that God would give me faith. i suppose i need to be disciplined and humbled. the way things look right now, it's my only solution. and the way things look right now, the best way to humble me would probably be for me to fail my psych. class. boy do i feel so discouraged.

it's really late but a promise is a promise. this blog is dedicated to my roommate...
so i've had this really annoying pimple around the left upper side of my nose for about a week now. it's one those pimples that are like deep inside your skin so they won't go away if you rely on the daily soap and water method. a few days ago, i was having a hard time with my paper and i kept picking at it. no use, the sucker was just too deep. so tonight as i was washing my face, it looked a little bigger than usual so i decided to go at it again. fingernails only caused pain and no success. i explained the situation to my roommate and we both agreed that my only solution was to pop it! now, what i usually do is use a safety pin and make a tiny incision so that there's just enough room to squeeze out the little critter. however, this was a risky situation that would result in two outcomes. outcome #1: after squeezing with no fear, the pimple gives up and your labors result in a newborn. outcome #2: after squeezing and squeezing, your skin is badly damaged with blood overflowing with pain. *sigh* i hate outcome #2. too many times have i experienced this unfortunate outcome that led to ugly scabs that last for over a week. however, i have also experienced victories where pimples have jumped out onto the mirror. i just reminisce about those times and i cry tears of joy!
long story short, phil won his battle and delivered the good news to his roommate...

so i've had this really annoying pimple around the left upper side of my nose for about a week now. it's one those pimples that are like deep inside your skin so they won't go away if you rely on the daily soap and water method. a few days ago, i was having a hard time with my paper and i kept picking at it. no use, the sucker was just too deep. so tonight as i was washing my face, it looked a little bigger than usual so i decided to go at it again. fingernails only caused pain and no success. i explained the situation to my roommate and we both agreed that my only solution was to pop it! now, what i usually do is use a safety pin and make a tiny incision so that there's just enough room to squeeze out the little critter. however, this was a risky situation that would result in two outcomes. outcome #1: after squeezing with no fear, the pimple gives up and your labors result in a newborn. outcome #2: after squeezing and squeezing, your skin is badly damaged with blood overflowing with pain. *sigh* i hate outcome #2. too many times have i experienced this unfortunate outcome that led to ugly scabs that last for over a week. however, i have also experienced victories where pimples have jumped out onto the mirror. i just reminisce about those times and i cry tears of joy!
long story short, phil won his battle and delivered the good news to his roommate...

so some stupid bastard told eugene about my blog. haha. this just comes to show that you really need to be careful with your words.
last night, i went to a comedy club in la called Laugh Factory. since i've been watching alotta standup comedy this year, i was a little curious about going to a real one so here was my opportunity. i really didn't know what to expect. no idea who the comedian was going to be, how many people were going to show up, or how long it would last. well, we were trying to make it to the 8:00 show but we got there pretty late. man, la is such a different place from irvine. there's just so much more to do....all the stores, places to eat, the nice houses. lol. we got lost in beverley hills and as we were driving around...
willburt: hey, look it's UCLA! look at all the lights!
me: woah! that's UCLA?!
frank: no, that Los Angeles Temple f*cker!
everyone: ahahahahahahah.
it's one of those you-had-to-be-there moments cause the whole time we were lost, we all wanted to go to UCLA just for fun. haha. but anyways, we waited in line for a freakin' hour in the freezing cold. man, there were all these black people bumping their loud rap in their cars and giving their hard looks, especially the women! so it turned out that the comedy thing was called Black Sundae b/c it was a buncha black comedians doing some standup...pretty similar to def jam. omg. it was pretty stinkin' funny. typical black humor. lots of cussing, slang, and making fun of white people. the host actually picked on our irvine group...
guy: so where y'all from?
us: uc irvine.
guy: uc riverside?
us: UC IRVINE!
guy: damn! ya'll look smart! f*ckin' smart!
everyone: ahahahahahahha.
(picks on student).
guy: what's your major?
student: computer science.
guy: (really sarcastically). noOOOOO!
everyone: ahahahahahaha.
guy: y'all look f*ckin' smart!
but dang, there was like this policy where you had to buy a minimum of two drinks! the cheapest thing there was four bucks! so basically, i spent over $30 including parking. man, i've been spending so much money lately. i always tell myself that this is all a good experience and it's all worth it. but dang, this is all my mom's money and i should really be squeezing every penny. *sigh* but yeah, i'll probably never go to another comedy club again. funny stuff but way too expensive.
i was reading crawford's xanga and it reminded me of how my brother used to play by himself. back in middle school, cj and i would play baseball in the tennis courts. we'd take turns pitching and hitting the ball. well, we only had one ball so we'd make my brother go get the ball every time. ahhahahahaha. so this one time, i was batting and cj was pitching. i stole a glance at my brother and realized that he was talking to himself making these funny noises. cj turned around to look and we both started cracking up. my brother used to have these little sessions where he just played by himself. he'd make these noises that sounded like explosions and people dying. ahahahahahaha. man, i know simon remembers. that guy was such a funny kid. yeah, good memory.
man, i've been eating so unhealthy these days.
tues = pizza.
fri. = chow fun and in n' out.
sat. = this big egg omelette thing and alotta korean food.
sun. = alotta taco bell and mcdonald's.
not only this is harmful to my health but i'm spending soooo much money! i'm paying to get chubby. and spring break is rolling around the corner, i know these habits aren't going to get any better. dang it!!! starting april, i'm going to limit my weekly spendings to $20. only take out $20 on sundays and that's it!

only 11:00 and i have a pretty good desire to go to sleep. i got about 8 hours of sleep last night. i didn't play any sports today. why am i tired? well, i ate about 3 hours ago but food coma doesn't last for this long. i even finished my psych. reading before falling asleep. and funny how this drowsiness does not include any yawns. maybe i'm dying.
today was a very fast saturday. it was supposed to be a day where i rewrote my whole essay...
Phil-
Your language, as always, is smooth & precise. My two concerns are 1. this isn't rhetorical analysis and 2. you need a clear thesis that is focused on an opposition. These both depend upon you changing the way that you vew the text. Talk to me. (circled).
i think this was my professor's nice of way of telling me to start my paper over. The "your language, as always, is smooth & precise" was just a nice of saying that i always bs and i once again did not get away with it. so instead of devoting another 12 hours to my paper, i did my laundry and shaved with my new Mach 3 Turbo razor (somebody actually jacked my old razor!). as soon as i start thinking of a new thesis and oppostion, leonard and dykas knock on my door. after chilling with those two uninvited bastards, i tried starting on it again. no use. a phone call from eugene inviting me over for dinner.
dinner was pretty good. korean food with ashley, eugene, andrew, jay, and jessica. i kinda got an idea of what kinda person ashley is. well, let's see...she's kinda loud. well, not loud but she talks alot. i don't see what eugene sees in her. now i actually have a better image of him being whipped. it all makes sense now. oh well. whatever floats his boat.
so i just came back and decided not to do my paper. it's just full of bad luck. everytime i try starting it, something always interrupts me. God just doesn't want me to work on it i guess. so i finished my psych. reading and i'm not going to do ANY studying until the school week starts up again.
last night, we celebrated joe and james's birthday with some cake with all these newsong people. i'm usually pretty indifferent about my birthday but for reason, this year i'm really excited about turning 19. i'm not excited about receiving last minute gifts, BSed cards, or very obvious surprises. i'm just excited about hitting my last teen year. yeah, i have no idea either. when that clock hits 3:29am, i'm just going to be happy that i'm 19. it'll be a happy day with a phil full of smiles.
after everyone finally left, i watched Chingoo with aaron. i've seen this movie too many times but it's still a very good movie. i was a little disappointed that aaron didn't understand everything but after some explanation, i sensed some satisfaction from the tone of his voice. i don't know why but i just feel so good introducing all these korean movies or music to aaron. he just seems so ignorant about korean entertainment and i want to fill him in with everything b/c he wants to be filled in with everything too. but speaking of that guy, i think he's really decided to live with me and dykas! woohoo! i wanna hurry up and move outta here!
this past friday, eugene and i finally had a discipleship meeting that was actually considered to be fellowship. haha. he took me out to Asian Noodle and i had chow fun for the second time in my life. since i felt that our meetings were so "wasteful," i finally started talking about devotionals and stuff and that got us talking about all these other things. it was really good. i'm actually kinda glad that guy won't be able to graduate next year. haha. i get to spend a lil more time with that guy. well, the same goes with chris, sean, and simon? they're all gonna be here for a while. haha. JJOOOOT!
well, i got alotta good responses about my hair at church last night. how fortunate. "wow, it looks really good!" "it looks soooo much better than what you had before." stuff like that. yeah, every passing day is a better hair day. perhaps it's b/c it's growing everyday little by little. i talked to my mom on the phone again and out of nowhere, she was like, "i really want to see it!" and she starts laughing. haha. she tells me the same thing EVERY time! "yeah, you look much better with your shorter hair. that's why i always like it when you wear hats. if you have long hair, your hair will out easier. short hair is good." folks, she tells me this EVERY time the word, "hair," is mentioned. but one thing's for sure, i'm never gonna bleach my whole head again.

gosh, i had a dream that i was back up north and my dad came back from korea. it was a very happy dream, being together with my whole family again. my dad was so happy, being with his whole family and being next to his wife. i remember driving on a gray colored Golden Gate Bridge and going to J-town for dinner. *sigh* those were the days that i took for granted.
it feels a little weird blogging at this hour of the day. i usually write right before i go to bed and if i don't blog, i just write the next night. i don't know why i'm wasting my precious day right now. (blank face). well, yesterday was spent writing my final paper for my writing class. just like connie richards, i too have to write a rhetorical analysis...
char: hey phil, what are you doing?
me: writing paper.
char: oh, so what have you been doing this whole time?
me: i started writing at 1.
char: you've only been writing for half an hour?
me: try 12 and a half hours.
char: oh.
alotta people think i'm a very decent writer for whatever reason. i may not be smart, i'm not that stupid, but supposedly phil can write. *ahem* NO! i canNOT write! if you started working on your paper at 2 and didn't finish brainstorming til 9:30, that kinda tells you something. i mean sure, i might do slightly better than others. i might even be better at bsing paragraphs. but yesterday's 12 straight hours of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King really showed me that i am not necessarily a good writer, but a student who desperately works hard for that B. geez, i sure did have my share of the humble pie. and i'm pretty sure that when i get my draft back, i'm going to have to start it all over. that's just the way it works with me. shuttup minh, i am no good at writing.
so as a result of last night's labor, i once again missed my psych. class. i was so debating whether i should go to class or not today. i even got out of bed to pee and get ready to change. but after i flushed the toilet, i thought to myself, "screw psych," and marched on back to my bed. (shaking head w/smile) i know i'm going to regret this.
gosh, today is such a nice day! actually, these past few days have been really nice. i really love the weather here at irvine. it's nothing like up north where sunlight is taboo and the clouds are your only friends. i'm sure la and sd are really nice too but just b/c i go to this school, irvine has the best weather. i definitely think it's true that weather affects your emotions. psychologically and unconsciously, your emotions are altered depending on how much sunlight you get. maybe that's why so. cal people always seem to be so pleasant. i haven't thought about it much, but i just realized that i don't meet too many sad people down here. everyone's just fine and dandy. chill and laid back. jeah! today is a nice day.
well, i'm KINDA getting used to my hair.

in exactly two weeks, i will be finished with my winter quarter and my spring break will begin. you know what that means. these next two weeks is crunch time! after you're done with one test, you have to finish up your 8 page paper. as soon as you're done writing a draft, you have to meet up with your group members to finish up a project. as soon as that's done, you go revise your draft that you worked on and work on the final paper. when that's done, you prepare for your oral test. now you're thinking, "a weekend! oh goody, a breather!" nope SORRY! you need to use that weekend for cramming your remaining finals. when one final's done, you take the next one. when nightfall comes, you cram for the remaining final. my friend, these next two weeks you'll be asking youself some unusual questions. how many hours do i have left? is dinner really necessary? if i only sleep for a few hours, will i fall asleep during the final? two weeks. this is going to be cake.
so yesterday, i received alotta different responses about my hair.
connie: wow, it's so short.
jessica & joyce: hey, you look so young now.
tanya: oh you got a haircut!
jee-ang: you cut your hair! oooooOOOOOOO! why'd you cut your hair?
leonard: hey, you got a haricut.
korean teacher: oh! eehppoogeh jjallaneh!
dykas: nice philip!
jason: oh you cut your hair? nice sh*t!
writing teacher: hey! (eyes widen). your hair looks like it continues up here. nice haircut phil.
aaron (my favorite response): walks, stops. walks really slowly, step by step. OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY! THIS GUY! (gives me a hug).
andrew: you got a haircut?
eugene: who is this guy?!
phil: you look so clean cut now.
for the 23,498th time, i am NOT used to my hair! but just like annie chung said, "it shall grow." hehe. funny how your hair only seems to grow fast when you don't want it to. i think i'll be okay with it by spring break. unfortunately, there's still a long list of people who haven't seen my hair yet and they're just dying to see it. i wish i could just receive all of the reactions all at once. on second thought, that might kill me.
the other day, olivia told me that she got into irvine. congratulations dear! ah yes, it's that time of the year again. college acceptance letters. quite a nerveracking time for seniors all over the country. but after the month of march, life is soooooo sweet! everyday is a good day. gosh, if there was one thing i could do differently in high school, it would definitely have to be cutting more school. gosh, i really should've gone out more during my senior year. after high school, you grow up so much whether you like it or not. going out is no longer fun...well, this varies from person to person. the older you get, the boringer you become. well, not necessarily...you just find alotta boring things to do which you now consider fun. anyways, best wishes to all high school students. make your efforts pleasing to God!

the other day, olivia told me that she got into irvine. congratulations dear! ah yes, it's that time of the year again. college acceptance letters. quite a nerveracking time for seniors all over the country. but after the month of march, life is soooooo sweet! everyday is a good day. gosh, if there was one thing i could do differently in high school, it would definitely have to be cutting more school. gosh, i really should've gone out more during my senior year. after high school, you grow up so much whether you like it or not. going out is no longer fun...well, this varies from person to person. the older you get, the boringer you become. well, not necessarily...you just find alotta boring things to do which you now consider fun. anyways, best wishes to all high school students. make your efforts pleasing to God!
Thought of the Day: I wish I knew how to play Smash.

SD or should i say La Jolla(?) is a really pretty nice cool place. the campus is one huge mother with no consistent pattern with the roads or buildings. irvine is just this nice giant circle with a park in the middle. nice and simple, the way it ought to be right? but gosh, it's like walking through a big park full of trees! we first visited my beloved connie richards. her room was quite spatious cause she had one of those rooms where it's slightly bigger than the others. VERY comfortable bed and nicely decorated wall...typcial girl's room. so we take her out to go watch Poolhall Junkies at Edward's Cinema. i'm sure out of the 4 of us, i enjoyed the movie the most! lots of smart remarks, a few yet awesome trick shots ("this is for the marbles boys"), and my highly appreciatd italian accents. gosh, this movie is such a pool player movie. Phil Chung gives Poolhall Junkies 2 thumbs up...with a goofy grin!
we spent the night at BS's apt. that night. for the first time, BS and i actually shared our testimonies with each other. he actually had the balls to admit that our friendship had always been very superficial. we never shared anything about our christian lives and how we were doing with everything. it had always been "you're stupid," "you're gay," and making fun of each other. had i thought about this in the past? yes, of course. unfortunately, i had never done anything about it. but anyways, we actually had a good talk about everything. gosh, BS has come such a long way since i first met him. college has changed him alot..definitely for the better.
next day, we woke up to BS's parents walking into his room. we got ready and picked pat up from his dorm. the same stupid pat only with an earring. i wasn't too comfortable with it at first but it's finally sunk in. i still don't believe in piercings...even for girls. BS's parents took us out to a korean restaurant and we feasted. last time i had good korean food like that was winter break! *burp* compliments to the chef!
later in the afternoon, we went to The Cliffs which is a place on a mountain where you can watch the sunset. it was really nice! i think the last time i saw the beach was....summer? i really enjoy looking at the waters. doesn't it give you that peace and calmness that no person can give you? i remember when i was in korea, a friend of mine told me the reason why we feel so peaceful when looking at water is b/c that's what we were originally surrounded by when we first came into creation. while we're in our mothers' wombs, before coming into this chaotic world, you're just surrounded by water and silence. i don't know, i thought that was pretty cool at the time. so yeah, i think this was the very first time i've seen the sunset in my life. i've never had the patience to actually watch that big yellow ball go down into the sea. but surprisingly, that sucker goes down fast! i wanna go to The Cliffs everytime i go to SD.
after playing some ball, BS cooked us galbee and kimchee jjegeh. lol. that guy literally took like 2 hours to cook! but omg it was sooooo worth the wait! i haven't had food that good since i went home for winter break. i usually don't eat dinner but i grubbed like nothing else that night. afterwards, we went to noraeBANG it up! gosh, all of us sucked like crap cause we hadn't gone in so long. the system wasn't too great and the price was quite unreasonable. but all in all, we still have a good time. man, i don't know WHY dykas doesn't think he can sing. if he thinks he sucks, i wonder what he thinks about me. geez, my eyes are watering up. that stubborn bastard will never admit anything! and no, don't tell me to shuttup!
after my trip to SD, i realized that all of the UC's have their pros and cons. SD has 5 different cafeterias, a little store that you can go to late at night, and a freakin' beach! irvine has the girls, the nice buildings, the ARC, and the fast connection. LA has the food, the awesome basketball and football teams, and a whole buncha smart people. Berkeley has La Burrita and Topdog. yeah, that's it. the rest, i don't consider to be UC's. haha. in your face terrance!

dykas: oh, i already did that.
terrance: WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?
dykas: yeah. why do you think i'm eating this mandoo right now?
me: ahahahhahahahaha.
last night, i watched Old School with dykas. i didn't think it was worth watching...alotta immature humor and unnecessary sexual jokes. if you like will ferrell, this is the movie to watch. but if you're like me, you should just go watch Poolhall Junkies again. hehe. anyways, last night was the big night. i was originally going to wait til after spring break but i just couldn't contain my curiosity. my hair is now spiked. after many years of people bothering me about cutting my hair, i finally decided to give it a try. i'm definitely not used to it right now. this short hair reminds me of how round my face actually looks and what my hair used to look like before i painted it yellow. fortunately, it didn't turn out to be a disaster. i guess i'm ready for all the WOAH's and OMG's.
1. You are attracted to those who are warm and obedience.
2. In the process of courtship, the approach that would make you
feel irresistable is creative, never let you feel bored.
3. The impression you would like to give to your lover is loyal,
faithful, never change.
4. You don't like it when your partner is emotional and/or too
moody; and you don't know how to please him/her.
5. The kind of relationship you would like to build with your
partner is one that you care not only about the present but
also the future with your partner, a long-lasting relationship
that you can grow with.
6. You care about the society and morality, you won't do anything
wrong after marriage.
7. You are afraid of marriage, you think it would take away your
freedom.
8. At this moment, you think of love as a committment for both parties.
What Are You?
dude, i am so not afraid of marriage.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!"

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!"
Thought of the Day: Lazy and chillaxin'!
Song of the Day: KRS-Step Into A World
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.

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.

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.

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!
ahahahhahahhahahah.
