praise God i just finished my paper! i started at 2 and finished at 12:20. for some reason, writing this paper wasn't as bad as the first one. but i'm pretty sure that'll be the hardest paper i'll have to write for a while. i have to admit that my teacher was really nice in helping me. he always invites people to cornerstone and tells us that he'll even buy us a drink when we go meet with him. and sure enough, the other day he offered to buy me a drink. anyways, he was just real nice about critiquing my paper. "i can tell you spent alot of time on this paper. this right here, Part Two, is what got you the check plus...blah blah blah." haha. yeah, i feel like i'm learning bit by bit how to write and write. stupid high school doesn't teach you how to write for crap. anyways, i'm hoping for a B.
random:
so my roommate, billy, really likes to play minesweeper on his laptop EVERY SINGLE DAY! this guy is hardcore. i just clear clicking and clicking at random times of the day. he's really good too...
billy: hey, did you know that i beat my old record?
me: what'd you get?
billy: 79 seconds. i was so happy that i wanted to go drinking that night to celebrate.
me: hahahahahaha.
yeah i know...loser.
so i haven't really blogged about the different things i've been wanting in my life for a long time...physical things that is. i haven't really THOUGHT about it so let's see what i come up with:
1. the brown cabinet thing for my desk from Ikea. $30
2. more naruto toys. $10?
3. staple remover. i either lost it or never brought one down. $5
4. more film. $10
5. Poolhall Junkies dvd. $20
6. comfortable pair of slippers/sandals. $30?
man, what a piece of crap list! haha. i guess that's good though cause it's a sign that i'm pretty content with the things i already have. plus i've kept my wish list to about $100. wow, i've never done that before. man, i'm not even halfway done with july and i only have $60 to spend for the next 4 weeks. what am i going to do?
Thought of the Day: My haircut WAS high.

man, i'm having a pretty bad day today. i haven't had a bad day in a while. remember in my last entry when i asked if i had to be broken by God? well, i got what i asked for today...
1. i just did alotta stupid things at work. i know andrea and monica think i'm slow and stupid.
2. the keyboard sliding board broke on me.
3. driving to sean's place, the middle of the road was blocked off so i went ALL THE WAY AROUND.
4. this big ugly girl in class was quite flirtatious around me. *shudder*
5. i have to rewrite my research paper b/c my thesis is totally irrelevant.
6. i hit sooooo many red lights on the way to the park today.
7. i played possibly the worst basketball in my life today.
8. billy and arthur didn't go to costco today. another day w/o trash bags.
9. no food in the house. dinner = cereal tonight.
but i know it's not over yet. i'm no where near being HUMBLED. God's going to break me hard...and i think it's going to involve my paper. dang, this is what happens when you live a life that shows no love for God. you can't fake it or force it. God knows everything. i can't write my paper in my condition right now. just rest and get ready for a terrible day tomorrow.
i love this song by The Ataris. you know how certain foods hit the spot when you're craving it really bad? well this song hits the spot for me right now...
"I Won't Spend Another Night Alone"
A star up in the sky goes slowly passing by,
The lights below...they spell out your name.
You're comfort on my mind and you're with me all the time.
And lot's of feeling that I can't explain.
I won't spend another night alone.
Out of every girl I meet, no other can compete
I'd ditch em all for a night with you.
I know you don't believe you mean this much to me
But I promise you that you do.
If I had one wish this is what it would be...
I'd ask you to spend all your time with me,
That we'd be together forever.
We'd buy a small house in south central L.A.
Raise lots of kids then we'd both join a gang
Just as long as we're together.
The things you make me wanna do
I'd rob a quik-e-mart for you
I'd go to the pound and let all the cats go free
Just as long as you'd be with me.
unfortunately, their other songs aren't as good as this one.

this four day weekend has been pretty good so far. lots of playing the whole day. i don't think there's been a moment where i felt bored these past two days. i went to la to go visit crawford and eddie on thursday. man, boxing is so much fun! it's really tiring but oh so satisfying when you hit the person in the face...right crawford? =D i didn't stay in la too long but i found out that jisun and deborah were there too so i decided to check out torrance for the first time.
torrance really isn't as bad as they said it was. yes it's kinda ghetto but it's not like they have absolutely NOTHING. there's Redondo Beach, that awesome park in PV, and "bobo juice!" haha. i don't know, i thought torrance was alrite. i always have a good time hanging out with those two girls. i finally figured out how to look for the Big Dipper! gosh, i couldn't tell you garbage about stars or space. it's an area that i'm quite interested in and i really enjoy looking at a starry night. but dude, i am one ignoramus when it comes to astronomologicalitionaly stuff...
if i had a gf...
me: you see that star over there?
girl: yeah?
me: that's a pretty star huh?
whatever...stupid stars. haha.
but i did learn something about myself that night. i am a VERY analytical person. i always observe. i always notice. i always realize. i'm always thinking and thinking and i almost always want to share my thoughts with people. i guess that's why people tell me that psychology fits me pretty well. i don't know, i don't think i was always like this. i think i am a result of hanging out with chang too much. that guy really taught me to think beyond the surface, to really go deeper and really THINK! but i suppose i can overdo it sometimes. i mean, what kinda person enjoys listening to unceasing analyses about everything.
this also reminds me of ANOTHER realization. haha. i think the older you get, the more you see your bad qualities. i think when we're younger, we tend to think that we're some awesome and perfect piece of creation. i'm not stupid. they are. i'm not ugly. they are. i'm normal. they're weird. but i notice that i see more and more imperfections rather that the "good qualities" in myself. you see problems with your personality, physique, walk with God, speech, habits, etc.. i guess it's kinda like sin. as you grow older and mature, you become more and more sanctified, growing in holiness. and as a result, you see more and more of your sin. well, not just your sin but sin in general...the sinfulness of man. the sin of this world. so i guess it's a good thing. i mean, i don't think it'd be good everyone just got prouder and prouder of themselves. man, some people are already too arrogant.
previous 4th of july's...
9th grade: blew up firecrackers for the first time at bis.
10th grade: Giants/Dodger game.
11th grade: Korea.
12th grade: Chili's and hang out at terrance's place.
this year was probably my best 4th of july ever. it was such a chill day. i woke up at 12. got a haircut from dykas. went to Los Alizanes. went to Nickle Nickle for 2 hours. lol. went to arthur's house and watched them play with fireworks for a long long time. went to Pink's. saw daybear there...freakin' coincidence. and it was really hot the whole day so i loved it.
ever since alice told me about how she LOVES hot weather b/c she loves to sweat, i started to really like hot weather too. she was telling me how she loves to sweat b/c it's so refreshing, opening up all your pores and just sweating! i really liked that kinda mentality. so ever since, i've been looking forward to some hot HOT weather in irvine. and today's weather happend to do much justice to my desires.
man, my walk with God is so dry these days. i read and pray but there's no passion. there's no fire. must i be broken for the nth time to come back to God in humility and give Him the praise that He deserves?
Job 1:21: naked i came from my mother's womb and naked i will depart. the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. may the name of the Lord be praised.
*sigh* may the name of the Lord be praised. no matter what state i am in, i am to praise God. difficult.

you know, summer school isn't as bad as i thought it would be. i remember having dreadful thoughts of taking 39c over the summer during the school year. however, the workload isn't as bad as it normally would be. i guess alot of it also has to do with the fact that i'm only taking one course so i don't have to worry about anything else. even my writing teacher isn't as bad as my first impression of him thought to be. he has a very unique sense of humor that makes everyone laugh their laughs that they're trying to keep in. i don't know what is is...gay humor? but whatever it is, that bastard is a funny man. he actually does a pretty good job with teaching us writing too. today, he taught us how to write a good argumentative paper while playing his guitar. yeah, i can't believe it...the stuff actually made sense. but nevertheless, there IS work to be done! i had my first working draft due for my first paper today. last night, i started at 7 and finished at 4 in the morning. ugh, 9 hours on minimum wage. then of course i had to wake up at 7:20 to get ready for work.
but you know what's really cool about my job? our director, monica, actually buys us lunch every time we work! she just asks everyone what they want and she sends one of us out to go get it. how cool is that? i have a pretty chill job. i get good hours. i get good pay. i get free food. what more can a college student ask for? (more money fa sho!). but really, i'm content with my summer right now. i feel like i'm being pretty productive with summer school and work, and i still make time to have fun.
one thing i'm learning this summer is that you really need to make an effort to hang out with friends. i think everyone just kinda sits around at home and waits for people to call them with good ideas to hang out. but if everyone has this mentality, no one is going to hang out and everyone is going to be bored and sad. so i think it's important to really take the initiative to call people up and see if they wanna hang out. if not, too bad. if they're down, you now have something to do! i learned this through observation and personal experience...in other words, the hard way. yes, even a popular guy like me goes through periods of loneliness. haha. i called myself popular.
i watched T3 today with simone, simon, and dykas. i didn't think it was too bad. the action and dialogue was no where close to T2, but i was fairly impressed with the way they concluded the Terminator trilogy. and yeah, Kristanna Loken is hot.

on wed., billy and arthur took me to this japanese market place called mitsuya. inside it was like a mini version of j-town up north. so for lunch, we went to the food court and i ate my very first bowl of real japanese ramen. *drool* sooooo good! i haven't had a GOOD meal like that in a while...you know, the meals that keep you happy for a very long time after you've finished it. so afterwards, we went to the market area and bought all this food. i kinda wandered off on my own and i ended up in the candy section. NARUTO CANDY?!
me: hey arthur look! naruto candy! it comes with a small toy and everything.
arthur: woah cool!
me: i think i'm going to get one.
arhur: me too.
(arthur opens his and gets Sasuke).
me: oh nice!
arthur: i'm going to get another one.
(buys one and opens it. another Sasuke).
me: ahahahahahhaha. another Sasuke?!
(i open mine).
me: yes! Sasuke!
arthur: dude, i don't want two Sasukes! should i go get another one?
me: dude, you're such a loser.
arthur: gosh, i wanted the Naruto.
(in the parking lot).
arthur: dude, i was about to go get another one.
me: just go in and buy another one! third time's a charm!
arthur: shuttup dude. i'm going to get another Sasuke!
me: no you're not! i bet you!
arthur: dude i will!
me: alrite i'll tell you what. if i buy one and get a toy that isn't Sasuke, you need to buy me another one.
arthur: FINE!
(i get a different character).
me: ahahahhahahaha. go buy me another one sucker!
arthur: omg.
(buys one).
me: you can do the honors.
(i get Haku).
me: hahahahahahaha. nice!
arthur: DUDE!
(goes back to buy another one for himself).
me: ahahahahahahahaha.
(gets one of my same characters).
arthur: DUDE!
me: hey c'mon, go get another one!
arthur: shuttup phil!
it was freakin' hilarious. this big college student going back to the same cashier buying the same toy over and over. lol. i was seriously dying.
living with arthur, that guy is such a funny guy. he says and does things that are so dumb...
(after eating popsicles).
me: what building has the most stories?
arthur: ...
me: the library!
arthur: I KNEW IT!
me: ahahahahahahah.
he reacted to it as if it were a riddle and not a joke. lol. so funny.
it started getting pretty warm in irvine yesterday. it's getting to the point where you have to wear shorts and maybe even sunblock! yes! this was the summer i was looking forward to. hot so. cal summer weather. it's really funny cause everytime i think of this cool la summer, i imagine listening to Ace the Bace-I Saw the Sign and driving through warm nights with all the windows down past alotta palm trees. jeah, those were the good ol' days! =D man, that thought totally defines chill. it's just like JEAH. haha what am i talking about?
last night, i met up with joey and henry. we ate in n' out, balled it up, and went to haila's place cause simone and sharon were there. gosh, i had one of those nights where i seriously regretted going out. since the guys lost in jenga, we had to buy the girls pat bing soo all the way in cerritos...Guppies. so we get lost and end up going on artesia the wrong way for a long time until we finally turn around after seeing this big airplane field. haha.
lesson learned: you don't always have to hang out with people just b/c they want you to come.
chris came back tonight! it's so good to see him again. he even hugged me after i came back from the arc! but yeah, that guy is finally driving again...brand new accord! freakin' chris, it's good seeing that guy again.
but dang, i was seriously feeling the pain working out today. 4 weeks. it's been too long. 2 miles is no longer considered a good workout. it's a marathon. i really need to start going again consistently. i've already gained back 2 pounds.

last night, i met up with joey and henry. we ate in n' out, balled it up, and went to haila's place cause simone and sharon were there. gosh, i had one of those nights where i seriously regretted going out. since the guys lost in jenga, we had to buy the girls pat bing soo all the way in cerritos...Guppies. so we get lost and end up going on artesia the wrong way for a long time until we finally turn around after seeing this big airplane field. haha.
lesson learned: you don't always have to hang out with people just b/c they want you to come.
chris came back tonight! it's so good to see him again. he even hugged me after i came back from the arc! but yeah, that guy is finally driving again...brand new accord! freakin' chris, it's good seeing that guy again.
but dang, i was seriously feeling the pain working out today. 4 weeks. it's been too long. 2 miles is no longer considered a good workout. it's a marathon. i really need to start going again consistently. i've already gained back 2 pounds.
Thought of the Day: I hate research.

ever since i've moved in with the guys, my stomach's been upset every single day. like when i'm outside, i don't really feel it much. but whenever i'm inside just sitting at my desk or talking to arthur, my stomach is always in pain. it's really weird. i don't know if it's b/c of the food or it's the smell of crab in our apt.. perhaps it's just psychological or it's a combination of everything. but whatever the case, i hate it. even as i type these words into my blogger, my stomach is punching me with discomfort. any bio majors out there who might have an explanation?
but like i was saying, the food can definitely be a cause of my stomach upsets. i really don't eat in a logical and consistent manner. food has ranged from french bread with vinegar to late night crab to cereal after cereal after cereal. i eat meals at like 3 in the afternoon and 11 at night. gosh, i'm starting to experience this college life food stuff already and i'm not even a sohomore yet. it sucks cause it's not like i wanna spend money on fastfood all the time either. 1. it's like a waste of money. 2. it's just so bad for you.
so anyways, arthur has been telling everyone for a while that he was going to learn how to make pat thai and make it for everyone. most of the times, i just assume that it's just one of the things he'd like to do and that he won't actually follow through with his ideas. however tonight, we actually went to Ranch Market 99 and bought all the goods. he bought all kinds of stuff...egg roll wraps, garlic, peanut oil, and all this other garbage. it was funny cause watching arthur shop, it looked like he had no idea what he was doing. ahahahahahaha. that fool just seems so spontaneous you know? very confident and bold.
well when we got home, i was freakin' tired. i had had a looong day...busy day at work and freakin' summer school. so when we got home, i took a nap while he was cooking. i woke up right on time for his BOMB pat thai! i seriously wasn't expecting crap but this crap actually turned out to be great! i really enjoyed it alot. it was as if i was eating at Thai Spice! but just the fact that hard-to-trust arthur made the food, made my meal that much more delicious. his "kick ass pat thai." lol.
going into work today was no walk in the park. it was my first day working with andrea, the other worker who's been there for a while. gosh, i had to answer sooooo many phone calls! i hate answering phone calls, explaining our different programs, giving directions to our new place, and scheduling appointments for DTs and conferences....IN KOREAN! it's really a humbling experience. broken korean with people who have been put on hold. BUT like every other time i've worked, i get better and better at my job. i can now give SAT diagnostic tests to students, time them, and grade them. b/c i've been so humbled with some bad conversations on the phone, i feel alot more confident with some of the familiar questions that the parents have. it's funny how i only get calls from ahjumas and never the dads. haha.
summer school...
for roll, my teachers wants us to tell us what our names mean and how we got it...and anything else that is interesting about it...
teacher: philip chung.
me: (philip = lover of horses). i don't know what my name means.
teacher: well let's see. Philip means rider of horses. something with horses.
me: oh.
random student with laptop: it actually means LOVER of horses.
teacher: oh well there you go. lover of horses!
me: (thanks alot butthole!). you can call me phil.
so my teacher is gay. not happy. not annoying or retarded. he's a homosexual. i've never had a homosexual teacher before. you know, we're called to love all sinners...even gay people. but goodness, it's so hard to think of/love them as normal people b/c they're just so blatantly different. it's not like they try to act masucline or anything. they act gay with PRIDE! it's quite distracting for me in this educaitonal setting. however, i'm glad that my writing class is a little different from the regular course during the year. instead of 4 papers, i only have to do 3. and instead of picking my own topic and researching it, we read from a book and research stuff to have evidence specifically for that book. man, no hot girls in my class. well, there's this one cute vietnamise girl but she's nothing special. and there's this one intimidating girl who wears a grip of makeup. very hoochie you know? what's even more unattractive is her voice...the smoker's voice. very deep and coarse. definitely not fitting for girls. i think this course is going to be the fastest 5 weeks for me. it's not as bad as i think it'll be.

i am finally home. not burlingame. i mean HOME! home as in IRVINE!
i ended up getting my 8290 with white lights on wednesday. it feels so small and light cause i haven't used it in a long time. it feels good to use the awesome phone that i once had in high school. those chinese people weren't so shady afterall.
that same night, i went to cashe creek and just like in the past, i failed to stop at my goal of $100. but unlike my previous times, i had some really fun games. unfortunately, my big games ended up with some sham cards...
i have a 10. dealer shows an 8. i actually double down on this. i hit ACE! (lots of hugging and cheering). dealer flips her other card over. a 2. she too hits an ace. push. (tears begin to flow).
that was a big game too.
but we all have our stories to tell that no one is interested in. after i was done, i went outside to cool off. of all the people in all the places of all the days, i meet old high schoolmate, bernard. his negative $4000 made me feel a little better. dang, some people really have problems out there. what a sad lifestyle.
since i had left the casino really late, i got home at 7:45. right on time for me to take my brother to the dentist (God knows WHY mom scheduled such an appointment). i hadn't been to the dentist in over a year but my mom told me that my old dentist wanted to check up on my teeth. so after my brother, i end up taking 8 different x-rays, clean my teeth, and have a chat with my dentist. gosh, i hated taking those x-rays. the guy would stick this wooden thing into my mouth until i started gagging. then he'd tell me to bite down and stay still while he took the picture...8 unforgivable times!
it was pretty embarrassing cause after each time they took the wooden thing out of my mouth, there'd be a line of spit trailing from my mouth and they'd just stop it with their hands. lol. so sexy.
the lady who was cleaning my teeth had some pretty eyes. you can't really see the rest of their face b/c they wear those masks but you assume whatever's inside is just as good as the eyes. gosh, you feel like such an idiot with your mouth open and that dumb stare...especially when you think the dentist look attractive. gosh, don't they also have the nicest voices? "can you say ah?" she says with that pretty voice. and you give them a stupid smile and give them a nasty AHHH! lol. it's funny when i think about it now but boy was i hating it then.
anyways, i received some bad news...
1. one of my teeth, just ONE is growing crooked so i have to wear a retainer when i go to sleep.
2. b/c of a few cavities, i need to get some fillings the next time i come in.
3. wisdom teeth are growing crooked so they're going to have to go. the avoided is no longer evitable.
4. since i grind my teeth when i'm asleep, i'm going to have start wearing a mouth guard for 6 months to fix this cacophony. did you know that teeth grinding is due to stress? i didn't know that. but i'm not the only one with this problem cause it's very common. even my dentist grinds his teeth. i bet you didn't know that one either.
i got 3 hours of sleep and didn't even get to say bye to my dad. freakin' shame. but i felt refreshed and started my drive at 3:40. amazingly, i arrived in la at 9:30! well, i only had to stop twice. once for bathroom. second time for gas. the drive actually wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be. just listening to music and one of chang's debates on tape. of course i could've used some company but driving alone is no impossible task. praise God that me and my car are still in one piece.
late dinner with crawford at Jose something. never EVER get the Spicy Galbi Kimchi Burrito. such things are only to be joked about...never actually created. but i did enjoy desert from Didi Rees(?). chocolate chip ice cream sandwich with expresso ice cream. yum! ucla is such a bujee berkeley.
san marino isn't as great as villa coronado. BUT i still like the place. i'm rooming with billy and chris while arthur is with eugene. billy's a really nice guy. he bought me Thai Spice today and took me around to buy a desk. oh yeah, today was my first time at Ikea. i don't know if it was just this one but dang is that place extravagantly big! i picked out this awesome $100 desk and $70 chair. but dude, i couldn't help but think that i could've bought this desk for free if i hadn't been so greedy at the casino. (shaking head). sinful bastard. it took me forever to finally unpack all of my stuff and put all of it onto my desk. i seriously love my desk though. it makes everyone's desk in this apt. look like scrapwood. haha.
i'm pretty lonely right now. everyone's in cerritos and i'm here all by myself. also since there's no fridge in the apt yet, there's no food. and since i didn't want to eat fastfood or spend money, i just ate pieces of bread with small carrots with my orange mountain dew. a depressing meal for a lonely boy.
so what better thing to do than blog on your new and beautiful desk? yeah, i couldn't think of anything either.

my dad is seriously the corniest guy in the whole world. but omg can that guy seriously crack up his family...
(lying down on my bed).
dad: ladies and gentlemen, can i have your attention?
*FART*
family: ahahahhaahhahahah.
me: dad, did you know that a lot of people drink boba over here?
dad: boba? the opposite of boba is "babo." stupid.
me: ahahahhaahhah.
but the more i've been spending time with him, the more i've been realizing how similar we are. the way he talks to people. the way he appreciate the music that he loves. the way he spends his time around the house. i can totally see myself being like him when i'm older...just not as corny and definitely not a fob. dude, some of his jokes just have to go.
last night, i ate dinner at this family's house. the family had a son and a daughter...junior and sophomore in high school. they lived in korea and switzerland but they're going to finish up school here in burlingame. i feel really sorry for people who have to move so much in their childhood years. they never get to see/make some permanent friends and it's especially difficult for them as they have to adjust to different cultures and languages. but still, they were fobs at heart. haha.
i was talking to the girl, kyung sun, in her room for like a bit cause simon was just playing starcraft with the other guy. she's a really cute and nice girl. she's one of those girls that reminds you how much you wish you had a sister. i think i'd be so good to my younger sister. i mean i'd be no perfect brother but i can definitely see myself loving the crap out of her. oh well. sharkface is a very decent sibling too...that ugly bastard.
just as dykas said, it's really boring up north. i too miss cpc people and even a FEW ccm people. but unlike my past breaks, i haven't been spending as much money. i remember spending like over $500 during winter break. (shaking head). man, talk about lacking discipline. but i've been pretty good this past week. i took out $100 before i came up and i still have some money for boba! i didn't shoot pool once this whole break! the old phil would've broken his poolstick on me for saying that. well, things change...which reminds me, i need to wash up and get out of these clothes. nnnnnnnnn...laters! haha.

brother is taking a crap/shower so i have a few minutes to blog. so i'm obviously home right now and it feels good to be back in nor cal. the drive up/down seems to get easier every time b/c i get more and more conditioned. dykas and i have much more fun in our conversations too. this time, we talked about people at church and the best ways to make fun of them. haha. old phil chung is so easy. but yeah, praise God for the safe trip!
it's really good seeing my dad again. he really did get older! he was actually surprised to see that i got taller. even though i learned that guys don't stop growing til like 20, i thought i had finished sometime during my senior year. i guess i'm about 5 11 now but whatever. i was never concerned about my height...ever. oh yeah, and my UGLY brother! seriously, i always tell everyone in so. cal that my brother is a true piece of bad genes. believe it or not but his face got even bigger! literally every time i visit home, his face gets bigger and bigger. but at least he's growing taller too. he's definitely having a major growth spurt right now. and dang can that kid eat!
the other day, my family went out with my second cousins' family for some chinese food in san jo. i ate a grip and i know my stomach was defintely hating me for it. i had all this jjajangmyun and i seriously had to force the last 10 bites just to finish my food out of courtesy. but later, i found out that my brother was so unsatisfied cause he wanted to eat more. freakin' monster. he's at that stage. he's at that age. this kid eats like he's from the stone age. ok, rhymes are definitely not my forte.
but it was weird seeing my cousins again. it's the group of cousins that i don't really like to be around. i never feel comfortable when i talk to them about anything. everything always seems forced or we're just asking to be nice. b/c of this crappy family dinner, i didn't go see my uncle today with my mom and dad. screw that, i wanna go to the movies with old yg buddies!
before i went to the movies today, i went to irving with B to pick up my old cell phone. turns out that they couldn't fix my phone so i convinced them to hook me up with an 8290 or 8390 with white lights for free. they told me to pick it up on tues. but i don't know. they're always shady in terms of telling me to come back next time. we'll see. but i love going to irving b/c i get to have the best boba in the world. seriously, those chinese people know how to make the best tasting boba in the world. while tapioca express uses blenders and written up ingredients, irving has fobs who already know their stuff and they shake and make everything themselves. and it's only $2.50.
afterwards, we went to Office Depot cause i wanted to look at some of the desks that they had. man, they have some NIIIIIICE desks out there at some attractive prices. gosh, there was this one desk that had alotta glass and this awesome shelf...all for like $130 cause it was on clearance. dude, i was drooling all over that sucker for the longest time but i know i can't get it cause it's too big to be in the apts. i hate it when you see things like that. things that are too good to be true but certain circumstances just don't allow it. FUDGE!!!
Finding Nemo wasn't that great. just ok. Pixar has so much more potential than that. but like moe and every other girl said, "it was cute." but i had alotta fun hanging out with jessica, jomo, and "pastor dave" at in n' out. seriously, i've changed alot and they know it too. these former yg teachers, i actually talk with them and understand and can relate to what they're talking about. i mean, there's still a clear difference in age and maturity but still...my boat is closer to their boat rather than yg's island. haha. dude, and it's very obvious that i've BECOME very so. cal. they know it. i know it. it's really funny how they kept pointing it out. i like it though. so. cal IS better than nor. cal! haha. just so much cooler in alotta different ways. call me a conformist. whatever, i'm cool now. =D
funny....
(talking about sharing our sins in small group).
jessica: yeah, this one time 4 girls cried!
chang: with guys, it's just..."it's alrite man....ROMANS." ahahahhahahahhahah. (chang's laughter).

something i'm gonna rip off from some guy's xanga...
My Alphabet
A last night in the dorms.
Beating around the bush.
Cold outside.
Dying of insomnia.
Entertained by watching 4th season of Friends.
Frank is who we're waiting for to gamble.
Girls = drama.
Having different attitudes on different people.
Irvine Project is dope.
Justin's chills in Korea while i'll be summerschooling & working this summer.
Killing time.
Lacking patience.
Major regrets on not going to LA tonight.
Nas, Lauryn Hill, Chino XL, & Xzibit on my playlist.
Only thinking of something to type.
Pretty crappy way to end freshmen year.
Quite displeased with a number of things.
Reading profiles.
Sophomore year is going to suck.
Trying to think of something else.
Ugly heart.
Vile thoughts.
Wrong things to be saying to me right now.
X this!
You shouldn't care.
Zeal. tough.

50. patbingsoo w/usc & crawford.
hmm, i'm kinda disappointed in myself. i thought i'd have way more memories than 50. well, i obviously have alotta small ones but i think these were the big ones. man, freshmen year is such a crazy year. just so much happens. you move in. you meet sooooooo many people! you study so hard. you play so much harder. you mature in unimaginable ways. you learn learn learn!
but this year, i must say that i've grown sooooo much closer to God. of all the years of my life, i think i've grown the most this year. i think one of the biggest things i learned this year was the idea of friendship. who your true friends are. who your hangout buddies are. who your acquaintances are. really, you see so much difficulty in making "real" friends in college. i think everyone also goes through some hard difficult times of loneliness. but it is in these times, you realize that man is that imperfect and God is that much MORE PERFECT! He is the only REAL friend. the only one that can understand what you're going through the most...even better than you! He is your only true source of comfort. He is always listening.
man, words can't express how sinful i've been this year. my actions, my mentality, my judgements, my desires. i know that i have been a horrible witness to nonchristian AND christian people alike. too many times i have been hypocritical and have been very selfish in my speech. how pitiful.
but through it all...my good times and bad times, God has ALWAYS been there with me. i think it is very true that God is closest to you in your most humbling circumstances...when you depend on Him the most. it is so true what it says in James 4:8...Draw near to God and God will draw near to you. so very true. i also think that as you get older, life gets tougher. but b/c life gets tougher, you also grow closer to God. it's true that you grow in holiness over time. not only do you mature physically and mentally, but most definitely SPIRITUALLY!
man, i have so many different ideas and i can't seem to write them in an organized manner. i wish i had like 20 different heads so i could just say everything at once. man, this year...this year. it was quite a year. man, college is quite something. i never knew it'd be like this. but gosh, praise God! everything that happened is only b/c of God. all Glory to Him. that's all i can say.

You are Romans.
Which book of the Bible are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Favorite book in the Bible!
EZEKIEL. After being visited by God, Ezekiel was
commanded to suffer in symbolic ways to portray
what was to come to Isreal. This embedded
these things into Ezekiel's mind, and led to
his desire to warn Isreal to turn from
wickedness, whether they would listen or not.
What prophet from the Bible would you have most likely been.

i think it's really funny how so many people just do not want to listen to what you have to say. i'm sure many of you have already done this before, but just try listening to people's conversations. more often than not, each person will be more concentrated on what they wanna say about themselves. when they are "listening," the responses are so fake with the forced nods, the assuring "uh-huh's," and the spaced out eye contact. it's really funny just listening to people to talk. sometimes, you can so tell that they're not interested at all of what you have to say. haha. i think girls do that alot. like they'll ask you questions just so that they can answer them for you. "oh how was your week? really? my week was....." why do i bring this up? *shrug* i think i've always experienced this but i just always forgot to write about it. haha. i'm guilty of this stupid sin too.
you know, my flu got alot better after i took a nap a few hours ago. i was doing pretty bad this morning with the runny nose and coughing. but after this nap i just took, i felt so refreshed. i feel so happy right now. everything just seems so relaxed. peace. serenity. it's really nice. i haven't felt like this in a while. content with everything. physically, emotionally, and spiritually content. i wish i could stay like this forever. just sit here and stare at my Dasani water bottle with a stupid smile.
