this morning...
simon: phil, do you still feel like turkey and mashed potatoes?
me: um, kinda. why?! do we have some?!
simon: no. i was just asking.
me: stupid idiot.
last night, unlike all of you americanized bastards, me and my family had korean food. well, actually it wasn't even my whole family. just me and simon cause my mom went to go eat with her friends. it's alrite though. Thanksgiving really is no biggie in our family. it's just another holiday for us where all the stores are closed and there's nothing good on tv. unfortunately, last night was the only time i was craving for thanksgiving food for some mysterious reason. i had already eaten 3 thanksgiving meals at irvine and i was pretty sick of turkey and such. but after watching Friends and Will and Grace, my stomach was encouraging me to indulge in some gravy.
rewind...
the drive up north took me over 8 hours b/c of 2 hours stuck in LA traffic. man, that is one tough cookie! but after leaving around 8, we finally got home a little after 4 in the morning. i woke up around 12 in the afternoon, and said hi to mom and simon. she gives me the "dyeing your hair again" lecture, but my presence overcomes her disappointment.
mother's cooking is always a gift from heaven. nothing can compare to such a meal. no doubt man! anyways, after some time spent in sitting and starting at the wall, i played some chess with simon and went to GE with jonna and yumi. after a little over 2 hours, we went home and ate my acceptible thanksgiving dinner with simon. food coma and boredom caused my day to cease at 9pm. yesterday was alot more boring than "relazing" (funny how i always type that in even though i try to type in "relaxing.").
play...
so i woke up at 9am today...exactly 12 hours of sleep all at one time. i feel pretty refreshed, but a little sad that the sky in millbrae is so much cooler than the sky in irvine. in fact, i already put on my sweater and my windbreakers. it's FUR-EEZIN'!!! but speaking of irvine, i already miss it. i already miss almost everyone in my hall. i KINDA feel like eating some dorm food and i have this burning desire to hug my computer! simon's computer sucks like ISH!
but since there's nothing to do so early in the morning, i just might crack open my psych. book and catch up on my reading. then after some lunch with the family, i hope to meet up with the boys and play some ball. chill. eat dinner. chill. noraebang! *shrug* we'll see wassup.

yesterday was one of the most unproductive days i've ever had at irvine, but i think one of the more memorable ones. it was like a typical dorm life night. eating cupnoodles, popcorn, and redvines at 12. starting another movie on my computer. random people just coming in to watch. it's great. dorm life is bomb dude.
will: norman made my day by saying Happy Thanksgiving to me.
me: wow, that's so cool! Happy Thanksgiving Willburt.
will: Happy Thanksgiving Philburt.
everyone in the dorms are pretty happy about going home today. there's only a few of us left in our hall. i still have to go to one more class, eat dinner, take a shower, pack up, and off i go to eat some more dinner!

i was reading tiff's blog and noticed that gary's blog was under the "yummy blogs" category. in the past, i only remember seeing a whole bunch of I LOVE YOU!'s to his gf and lots of GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!'s. this is why i stopped reading his blog for quite a while. so assuming "yummy blogs" are fairly decent blogs to read, i thought that gary might have added some spice to his online journal. *sigh* unfortunately, it looks like he's just added more mud. man, reading that one post where he writes his 1 billion "I MISS YOU BABE!!!'s" made me think of only one word. IDOLATRY. then of course, he adds his GOD IS GOOD stuff here and there. i don't know man. it doesn't seem like it makes any sense. it sounds more like I LOVE GOD! I LOVE MY GF EVEN MORE! but i know his blog is HIS journal and if i have a problem with it, then it's my problem. but i guess what got me all started on the matter was the fact that his blog was under the "yummy blogs." so now, i'm assuming that my initial assumption was a terrible assumption. clarification anyone?

irvine's weather decided to take a twisted turn today with a very very windy windy day day. it's really weird b/c it's still really warm outside. it's windy like a winter in Daly City but warm like a spring in Millbrae. it actually feels kinda cool b/c it feels like you're walking around in a big warm bubble but there's a nice giant fan keeping you cool at the same time. the only negative is that little pieces of leaves constantly get into your eyes. those tiny bastards!
so last night, minh and will found out about my world famous blog...all b/c stupid olivia was talking to minh online. but i guess it's no big deal having them read my "diary." supposedly, these guys are going to start one too but i don't know. these guys don't seem up for the challenge. it's kinda like salvation. true writers aren't always consistent but they always come back to blog. however, the pseudo-writers just start, self-sham theirselves into thinking that they're a blogger, and they stop writing after a few weeks or months. haha. what a dumb analogy. but i'm too lazy to erase it.
man, my sleeping schedule is seriously all retarded now. i take naps at like around 3 or 4 in the afternoon for about 3 hours and then go to sleep around 5. i can't believe simon goes to bed around 12. that's like when me and my dormmates start to watch a movie or take a shower. last night, i went to bed at 5:45 b/c minh and i decided to rearrange our room again for the 230,384th time! we realized that having the fridge in the corner b/w our desks was just too uncomfortable so we moved both of our dressers and my bed. i think this arrangement is a keeper. please God, no more!!! cause us to be content with our circumstances. hehe.
before all of that worthwhile labor, minh brought some bleach from home. i was bored so i decided to put some streaks in my hair. what was supposed to turn into streaks actually led to my whole head turning a bright yellow. i was a bit displeased last night cause it looked so different, but i'm getting more and more used to it. also, alot of people have been telling me that it looks nice or cool. so i guess it looks nice or cool. man, my mom's going to disown me when she sees my hair.
i'm so happy that i found out about DC++ (in your face dykas!). i can finally dl at speeds that are beyond appropriate. i can dl at like over 900kb/sec, which means i can finish songs in less than 10 seconds and finish movies within 10 minutes. niiiiiice.
man, i'm really excited about thanksgiving break. i've been thinking about it every single day. good korean food. chess with simon. driving to GE with jonna. ball and noraebang with the boys. yeah, i really feel like i need this break. not exactly to run away from my problems but to just chill for a while you know? spend some quality time with good ol' Burlingame. man, but the drive up north is going to be a bastard. it really is quite unpleasant and uncomfortable, especially if it's not you that's driving (no terrance i do not want to drive). the only other bad thing about going up north is that i'll be missing ken's party. man, it sounds like so much fun! eh, it'll be worth missing.

i haven't felt so good going to church in a long time. i think how you look at church is a good indicator of how you're doing in your spiritual walk with God. i believe that those who enjoy worshipping God are those that are strong in their walk. i believe those those who do not enjoy worship are those who are living their lives apart from God. now, i'm not saying i don't live this awesome holy life just b/c i really enjoyed worship today. i just feel that yesterday's prayer was a genuine prayer and i feel that i am once again at peace with God. so in a sense, i guess it's a kick start for me. another clean slate that i ought to keep clean. man, worshipping God is true happiness.
today in Bible Study, we were going over the 10 Commandments and putting them to application. when we came upon the commandment of not murdering, i felt like this was totally irrelevant to me. how can i, a young and innocent christian boy, ever murder someone? but we got into the specifics of how the heart is the real deal. if you have hatred towards a brother, that's the same as murdering him. instead of hating, we ought to love...pray for him, encourage him, correct him, etc.. i was thinking about this and i thought of one person who i really dislike in my life. everytime i think about him, i get really angry and just want to tae bo his face. however, after giving it some thought i realized that i had totally erased the idea of "loving your enemies." i had never in my mind thought of even praying for this fool. i'm going to try to "love" him from now on. it's going to be freakin' difficult but i gotta do what i gotta do.
note: this person that i is dislike is not justin jang. i've already learned to love that bastard.

man, my so called brain is just overwhelmed with thoughts. "write about that! no, don't write about that! that'd be funny. nono, that'll be inappropriate!" let's see where my thoughts take us...
you know, alotta people have been commenting about my blogs, about how college life sounds really fun and just chill. in many ways, YES! college life is seriously so much fun. lots of good times. but what you readers are forgetting is that there is always a flipside in all these things. there is much pain and suffering in my life as well. ok, that came out a bit strong...not THAT bad! haha. but my life does have its downs. lots of downs actually. a good example is my spiritual life.
i go to a pretty strong church with lots of good theology and fellowship. it's a really great place to grow in your walk with God i believe. however, just b/c you got the right tools does not mean that you are going to build the prettiest doghouse. in fact, i think my doghouse looks like ISH! it's freakin' garbage. so much hypocrisy. lots of inconsistency. no commitment you know? it wasn't until today that i finally got another good slap in the face from God. i was totally lacking discipline and i had become quite spoiled. i fell. i could not get back up. but today, i cried out to God again. it had been a while. haven't had a serious prayer in God knows how long! man, Hebrews 12 is seriously the most encouraging stuff out there. even though we fall away, God will always bring his true sons back. man, that's grace. that's mercy. that's dope. fudge.
man, you REALLY grow up in college. when i read the blogs of high school students, they seem so young and immature. i'm sure i've already talked about this but it once again just hit me on the head pretty hard. i feel so much older these days. last night, i went to go watch Die Another Day and minh brought some of his friends who were still in high school. they're so different. so naive. so ignorant. but that's life i guess. there's always someone who's older than you. afterall, i'm just a dumb inexperienced freshmen myself right? i have yet to be done with this college crap.
cj: dude, jomo won't put me on the BCS ranking! it's so gay! but he said he said that you're pretty close from getting kicked off.
me: yeah. i don't really care though. it's stupid.
cj: yeah. who cares.
notice how cj and i are totally different but we still click quite well. i was on the BCS ranking. he was not. but in the end, we were totally indifferent about it. i guess you can call this a response to his blog: One Voice-Thru It All. dl this song homo. i've been listening to this crap for the past 2 hours now. it's dedicated to your gay self. (and yes, Buff Homo is even buffer than ever!).
man, i am sooooooo chillaxin' right now. it's great. the perfect word. chillin' + relax = chillaxin'

i had my first late night talk with minh last night. he was teling me about alotta stuff on drugs, sex, and girls. this fool is really educated in this area! he knows so much crap that i never even heard of. it was quite a moment of "bonding." he's a good guy though. but earlier today...
minh: yeah, i went to the housing office today. i have to move out by dec. 10.
me: what?! are you serious?
minh: yeah.
me: so this is for sure? you're moving out?

"cause i got what it takes to rock the mic right yeah!"
i experienced my very first live freestyle battle at irvine! after i was done shooting pool, dykas told me there was this cool battle going on so i went to go check it out, thinking it was a buncha guys breakdancing. as it turned out, there was this huge crowd with two guys busting flows right and left. man, these guys weren't weak sauce either. they were really creative and honestly full of humor.
"man, you so ugly you causin' a scene! yo, don't you know it ain't even halloween?"
haha. that's the only one i remember. but there were alotta good rhymes. lots of cheering. lots of laughing.
after i took a shower today, will wanted to cook a cup noodle in my room with our microwave. but after the water was done, minh came in and accidently kicked the cup and spilled all the water.
will: dang foo! what the hell?!
minh: dude! you spilled it!
will: dude, you kicked the cup!
will goes to get some more water. minh sees the cup noodle and decides to hide it in his closet b/c he is hungry.
will: where's my cup noodle?
(minh leaves room).
me: i don't know man.
will: what the hell?! where's my kimchee noodle?!
me: ahahahhahaha. i don't know man.
(running around the halls asking every single person).
will: c'mon phil. where is it man?
me: i don't know.
will: dude, i KNOW minh stole it! that *&(*!
(talks to minh for a while).
me: ahahahahahahahhahaha.
will: why you laughing fool?
me: cause it's so funny how you just lost your cup noodle.
minh: yeah foo. you clumsy!
will: where is it fool?!
minh: i don't know man!
(minh leaves room again).
so this goes on for a good 15 min.. all these accusations, running around, laughing, cussing, etc.. then will sees minh heating up some water.
will: why the hell you heating that water up foo!?
(minh runs away and tries to close our door. will pushes the door and minh lets him in).
minh: what fool? i just wanna heat up some water!
will: shuttup fool! you have my cup noodle!
minh: i don't man! i just want some warm water!
as this goes on for a little bit, i'm sitting in my chair, laughing my freakin' head off! it's like the most hilarious scene. you have to know the history b/w these guys first though. cause you see, will and minh always steal each other's stuff, hide it, eat it, whatever. they punch each other, run away giggling, closing the door. they go into each other's rooms and mess around on the computer, giving them a bad image online. it's really a humorous chemistry that they have. but tonight's event has to be the most funniest event so far. but this one time, minh hid will's shampoo so he couldn't take a shower. after alotta accusations and complaining, will sees minh using his shampoo.
minh: i have the same shampoo as you fool!
ahahahahahah. and yeah, you can figure out the rest.

oh my! what the! another post?!
so i was doing some reflecting today and out of nowhere popped up my lovelife. bam! phil chung's lovelife. what a mysterious thing. what a dangerous thing. what an interesting thing! i don't know, i haven't really thought about anyone in my mind for a while...like i've been emotionally numb to girls for God knows how long. but lately, for some reason i've been getting these small crushes. let me say that word again. CRUSHES. not one. but actually two! it's a really weird feeling, liking two different girls at the same time. two totally different girls. one is very sociable and fun to talk to. she's really nice...like gf material nice, which is probably why she's still going out with her bf in Santa Barbara. the other one is really quiet. she seems like the innocent type but the whole world knows she can drink like crazy. it's all these small things about her that make her seem cute though. very hard to explain. and the unfortunate thing is that they're both non-christian. what's gotten into me? and of course, when there's crushes involved, your amygdala stimulates random intervals of depression.
but that leads me to another source of depression. my roommate is most likely going to be moving out after this quarter. his family cannot support him financially and his fafsa just doesn't take care of it. it's really gay. if he goes, i'll probably get a new roommate that was on the waiting list. no more of our little parties. no more watching movies together. gosh, he was seriously the best roommate anyone could ask for. he always gave people food. he bought people drinks. he practically let anyone sleep in his bed. we both listened to the same type of music. he always brought me back food. he always encouraged me to workout. he's one of those REALLY nice guys that you rarely meet. me and my other dormmates were talking about it too. we're all depressed about it. gosh, it feels like a close buddy of yours is moving away. it's really depressing.

but that leads me to another source of depression. my roommate is most likely going to be moving out after this quarter. his family cannot support him financially and his fafsa just doesn't take care of it. it's really gay. if he goes, i'll probably get a new roommate that was on the waiting list. no more of our little parties. no more watching movies together. gosh, he was seriously the best roommate anyone could ask for. he always gave people food. he bought people drinks. he practically let anyone sleep in his bed. we both listened to the same type of music. he always brought me back food. he always encouraged me to workout. he's one of those REALLY nice guys that you rarely meet. me and my other dormmates were talking about it too. we're all depressed about it. gosh, it feels like a close buddy of yours is moving away. it's really depressing.
you know, it's funny how i thought irvine was totally not what people would expect it to be. UC Irvine has this image of being a "party school," "University of Civics and Integras," "University of Chinese Immigrants," "the school with all the girls," or basically a place where christians will struggle b/c of it's worldliness. well, my first month here was totally not what i expected. i mean, YES it is a school polluted with too many asians. YES it is a school with so many evil looking pretty girls. HOWEVER, i did not think it was a party school! i am slowly realizing that this school, that has been verbally abused by many, really is starting to reveal all of its truths.
the past few days have been full of parties in my room, hosted by my one and only Minh Do (mah!). it can get really uncomfortable like no other...cramming 15+ people in a triple room that is actually the size of a double. random people, blazing, drinking, and talking til like 5 or 6 in the morning while i'm trying to get just a BIT of shut eye! i can't express the bitterness, the rage, the WRATH that phil chung was feeling this morning! those blasted ear plugs just don't do their job. i felt really bad for my japanese roommate cause he goes to bed at like 12 and that's like when the party got started. but this morning...
me: hey kiyoshi. how did you sleep? did you sleep well?
kiyoshi: yeah.
me: really? are you serious?
kiyoshi: yeah, don't worry.
me: oh ok. (lucky weird bastard).
but last night's meteor shower was really dope. a whole bunch of us went outside at like 3 in the morning, just lying down on our grassy hill and just looking at all the stars passing by. "WOAH!" "HEY, DID YOU SEE THAT ONE?!" "WOAH!!!"
jack: dude, this is like such a cool time of bonding! so how were your days?
random guy: man shuttup!
ahahahahahhaha.
i was in denial of CJ's rants at first, but after some close observation, i have confirmed that i now have a so. cal accent. i talk pretty much like any other stupid southern californian with some of that "chill" slang and retarded pronunciation.
for example...
before irvine: "later."
after irvine: "lateer."
before irvine: "that's like..."
after irvine: "das like..."
i don't know. i can't really write out how i pronounce my speech but if you hear it, you'll definitely be able to point it out. but i guess it's really subtle...i mean, even dykas and terrance can't tell...i think.
well, i finally cut my freakin' hair! after 2 months of not a single haircut, it was the longest i've ever had my hair. i was going to wait til thanksgiving and go to Ceci cause she's like the only person that knows how i want my hair cut. but apparently, desperation got the best of me and i asked one of my hallmates, will, to cut my hair. well, he gave me one of those "badboy" haircuts where they cut almost everything off except the bangs. i wasn't too comfortable with it at first but i'm getting used to it on my second day. and besides, my head no longer looks like it's secretly growing a tree with the ugliest leaves. AND, it was free right?!
after talking to some people last night, i find it really sad how some people live their lives. alot of them were either dropouts or already dropped out. all they do is "chill" (blaze and/or drink). they don't go home b/c they hate their family. they find security in their friends, who are most of the time undependable. it's really sad. it really comes to show how much more we need Christ in our lives.
today, my Clusters group is having a big Thanksgiving dinner! woohoo! all this free food and none of the freshmen have to prepare anything! haha, it's more like a Thanks-RECEIVING dinner to me, but it's all good in the hood.
Thought of the Day: It's all gravy. Literally.

man, i can't believe i haven't blogged in over a week! apparently, so much has happened every single day since nov. 8. there was absolutely no opportunity for me to blog in the condtions i was in. seeing my BCS ranking fall back 3 pts is a bit discouraging but at the same time, i feel happy that my life actually has some action for once.
so much...
1. B on pysch. midterm.
2. 8 mile with Terrance.
3. Korean food with 2 Riversiders and Dykas.
4. My Sassy Girl twice.
5. Ontario Mills, another copy of Great Mall.
6. Church picnic.
7. B on bio midterm. 1 pt away from an A-. God is being really gracious to me.
8. Magicshows have creepy music. $15 and 3 hours down the drain.
9. "Celebrate" on the phone with CJ.
10. And the "Celebration" continues but ends after 5 Pixie Sticks.
that's what sucks about not writing in your blog for a long time. the best you can do is list out your events but can't go into detail b/c that would either...
1. take an eternity.
2. discourage readers from ever visiting your blog again.
3. reveal some bad things about bad people.
(4. or of course, all of the above!).
gosh, i wonder when the next time i'm going to blog is. it's a mystery.
Thought of the Day: Soooooooooo embarrassing!

midterms...
man, i don't think i've ever studied so much in my life! 8:30-12! i know that sounds like nothing but that's seriously the most i've ever studied at once. it was pretty funny though cause as i was studying...
david: dang nigga! you studying?!
me: yeap.
david: alrite, lemme study with you.
david's a korean guy from the third floor and we're in the same psych. class. he reminds me alot of thomas, christian and really ghetto. but anyways, all that studying really paid off. i think i did pretty well. while i was take tests, i have these conversations with myself with each question...
"alrite, i remember this one. it can't be A, B, or D b/c those are just straight up stupid. but C looks tricky. hmmmm, let's look at A again. wait, you should always stick with your inital feeling of an answer. alrite, i think it's going to be C. ok, thank you God. next question. HA! is this guy kidding me?! this one is soooooo easy! thank you so much God! next question. wait a minute. none of the answers seem to be correct. uhoh. i KNEW i should have read chapter 4!"
but i felt pretty good after i was done. the test only took me 35 min. even though we were given 1 hour and 20 min.. that either means A, i crammed all the right material and knew my stuff, or B, i'm a self-deceived moron who's going to hit an F so hard that i'm going to wish i never came to college. either way, i can't change anything so may God be pleased with my efforts.
pingpong...
i had a really good day in pingpong today. i finally beat lawrence 2 games to 1! i was returning his serves really well and slamming even his slow shots. our last game ended in a 21-10.
lawrence: you know if you lose like that, that means you can't figure out what the other person is doing. you were slamming my serves and you were serving pretty well so i couldn't return well.
me: yeah.
lawrence: ok, you know you play too much pingpong when you start analyzing the game.
me: ahahahahahhaha. yeah.
pool...
i also played really good in pool today, possibly the best i've ever played in my life. i was seriously "on" tonight cause i went around the world 1 2/3 times!
me: dang hideo. calm down japanese guy.
lawrence: ok, japan and korea are doing pretty well tonight. what about China?
(janet hits 8 ball in to win the game).
janet: CHINA!!!!!
chess...
i finally got a chess set from Target today...7 bucks. pretty good. i played against Jack and Minh. man, those guys really suck. of course, i didn't say this in front of them cause i don't like to present myself as the arrogant type unless i know the person pretty well...chang knows. but yes, it's cool winning in everything today.
i just had a really good day today. no more midterm. no hw for the weekend. good lunch. good pingpong. good dinner. good episode of Friends. good pool. good chess. and now, time for some good sleep.

objective: jack one of the 2 seat sofas from one of the buildings in Middle Earth.
purpose: have a room where people can actually have a place to sit down and chill.
attempt 1...
place: Our Study Room
outcome: coming out of the study room with the sofa, an RA catches us and tells us we can't take any furniture out of the study room. 2 of her friends laugh at us.
attempt 2...
place: Rohan.
outcome: living room is on 2nd floor. people watching tv.
attempt 3...
place: Rohan Study Rooms
outcome: all 2 seat sofas have already been jacked. only 3 seat sofas available.
attempt 4...
place: Calmindon
outcome: go to third floor. cross over to next building. look down to 2nd floor living room. too many people. distance is too far. (what were we thinking?!)
attempt 5...
place: Our Living Room on second floor.
outcome: major tension in forearms and brain trauma. success.
our room is really cramped up now, but it is definitely a place to chill. people come into our room all the time so now they have a place to sit down. we replaced the 2 seat sofa with a couch from our study room. we are too smooth!

the month of november has arrived and what a way i spent the weekend to start off the month!
i was supposed to go clubbing on fri. but minh told me that the DJ wasn't getting paid that night so the music was going to suck. minh is my vietnamise roommate. he is one of the most interesting people i have ever met in my life. my roommate BY FAR lives the most hardcore life of the party. all he does is wake up, miss class, eat a lunch at 4pm, works out, watches a movie, drinks/goes to a party, and goes to bed at 6am. haha. i'm afraid that this guy is going to drop out of irvine. but somehow by the grace of God, he still manages to sneak in a few minutes for studying on the night right before midterms, and occasionally does better than his friends (barely passing). haha. he's a really nice guy though. he always buys cup ramens and feeds everyone in our hall late at night. whenever he goes out to eat, he always asks if i want anything. minh is also a very funny person. you see, he talks like a fob and has a habit of adding some vietnamise here and there in his speech. and if you've ever heard vietnamise people talk, it is definitely the funniest language to ever be spoken on this planet. lol. it cracks me up just seeing him sleep right now. last night, he went to bed at 9am, woke up at 3pm, and he just went to bed again an hour ago. minh is officially my new hero....not that i ever had one before.
(CJ has spilled his guts. i have spilled mine. i can't believe he was hiding so much from me).
saturday's freshmen bbq was pretty cool. i got to meet alotta other freshmen from CPC. it's pretty cool b/c it's really diverse, people from LA, SD, *sigh* and yes Riverside, terrance. i like how CPC is a really welcoming church. first, they're REALLY nice to you on your first sunday. second, they have a welcoming dinner for all newcomers. and third, we get a freshmen bbq! and they're really nice everytime they see you too. lots of nice people. God has provided me with an awesome church.
right now, our bible study is going over Reformed Faith. i find it interesting that i am the only one who has studied this in my group. anyways, i was just doing some random pondering and thought about how different the teaching styles of Dennis and Chang were. i mean, gosh dang! chang is so hardcore! haha. like when he teaches something, he TEACHES it! Dennis is good too cause he explains things very simply and easily for unfamiliar students to understand. to break it down...
chang = intellelectual, intense, long
dennis = ghetto, simple, short
but i'm really grateful that i got a chance to be taught by someone crazy like chang. that guy is just this amazing monster...physically and spiritually. haha.
Thought of the Day: "He's" changing me.
