solving them cases with none other.

Recently, I've dusted off my DS Lite, and I started playing my old games. I used to be crazy, head-over-heels, madly in love with my DS; and I'm talking about that old school DS: bulky, dim screen, did I mention bulky? The DS Lite is significantly sexier though, no doubt about it. But anyhoo, so, a couple of games I played includes Ouendan!!, a Japanese game about male cheerleaders that save the world using rhythm and music. Real good game, I'm seriously gonna talk about its wonders later. But the main hero of this post is none other than Phoenix Wright.

Phoenix Wright...is genius. I think it's 'cause I like the humor and how everything plays out. It's simple, mainly text on the screen and murder mysteries. That's really just it, but it's played oh-so nicely. I've played all the current games so far, the first three featuring Phoenix Wright and the latest one featuring Apollo Justice (not cool my friends. not cool). and these games are just sooo good. I really recommend this game to anyone. All of the characters are so memorable, my desktop background is a picture of the whole cast, and I always giggle looking at it. tee hee. There's no other game that makes me laugh as much as Phoenix Wright, I tell ya'. I just replayed the first game and now on my second. So yeah, that's what I've been doing the past few days, also a bit of Modern Warfare 2 and Heroes of Newerth in the mix. but yeah, I just wanted to dedicate a post about my boi Phoenix Wright. Alright, peace, love, and ice cream.

"oh, you know what I want."

I just watched 500 Days of Summer. I was familiar with the guy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 'cause I used to watch him hella hella when he was on 3rd Rock from the Sun. I love that show! and the girl, Zooey Deschanel, is from Elf and Yes Man, too! Well, I'm kinda in love with this movie. This romantic comedy wasn't really what I expected at all. I don't want to spoil anything, but that's all I can really say about it. I thought Zooey did a good job portraying the character, Summer, really well. And the humor was funny. But I must admit, this movie wasn't ALL that great, but I'm still kinda in love with it. Also, the preview showed a lot of the good jokes, which made me a sad camper. But I would still recommend this movie.

But anyways, that's not really all. After I watched the movie, I hung out with a couple of friends. We somehow ended up in Nation's, this burger joint in Westfield. It was pretttttty good. But I think I prefer good ol' In-N-Out's cheeseburgers. We then headed to Creations Dessert place, which is at Geary and 16th. I thought it was pretty okay. Any regular Asian dessert place. I got #51, which was like mango pieces and sago in mango juice. I'm not gonna lie, but that drink was reaal good. Then we jotted outta there real quick and I dropped people off home. I'm awake at 4:05 a.m., and writing another blog post. I seem to have found my new thing to do at night! Now I just need to bring my digital SLR around again to take pro pictures. :(

"you finna get clapped, man"

you know what? i'm gonna title my blog posts with sayings that are funny to me or that is in my head for the longest time.

so i don't know what's to be said right now. but I'm just gonna ramble on. I found this really sick hair gel that gives my hair a "natural" and a "wild and messy" look. and it smells like green apple. I mean, where can I go wrong? my friend told me about this little gem, and I think it's awesome! I've been owing people a lot of money. it sucks, but i'm still getting paid, so it's not that bad. the past few days have been full of weirdness, but I look at that and think that's what makes life interesting and fun. Without any weirdness, I mean, I don't know how life would be. I like those kind of spontaneous moments in life where I just decide what I want to do and actually DO IT. top of my head, I kinda want to just sit in the park and talk to someone about life and how we think of it so far. I just want to get out there. And this will arrive to one of my main points: night time. shit guys, I really think night time is where it's at. So much stuff happens at night, it's craazy. I like living in the dark, nightlife, whatever. the day has its moments, but night makes stuff more exciting. what's more exciting?: biking during the day? or the night?

anyways, enough of rambling. today, I went to Daniel's house and chilled and play some Street Fighter 4. Not much to report, but I got owned by an actual pro. haha, whatevs. Other than that, I don't really remember what I did. ahhhh, dang. but here I am, making a new post. but now I'm kinda bored of typing. alright, I'm out, peace!

it's tough

...life, that is. I got a lot of stuff to think about. Family, friends, school, whatever. but hey, I guess that's life.

too much has happened, so I'll just jot down what I remember. well, I'm getting paid, 'cause I work in my family's bakery in Vallejo. good stuff. I'm finally getting money to get stuff I think I really need: clothes. call me materialistic, I don't care. I really like to buy stuff. it's whatever, but still. I also need to get that TE arcade stick (really worth the $150?).

Summer's been going good too. I just came back from New Jersey. and I must say, White Castle is bomb. I wish we had a few of them here. But you know, honestly, I can't really tell the difference between the microwaved ones and the real ones. haha, so it's not all that bad, I guess. I also got to be in a wedding as a groomsmen. I wore a tuxedo and all that. It felt like prom. sigh, good times.

I've noticed a lot of people saying that they can't wait for college. But that's only for some people, 'cause I know some who don't want to go back to all the stress and pressure that is called "college". But as for me, I'm kind of in the between. I mean, don't get me wrong. college is great. experience after experience. But I like being laid back and doing nothing but chill. I like the feeling when I can wake up at any time I want to. I have so much free time, it's craaazy. But I also can't wait for college too. I guess it's more like something for me to do, and also for me to fix a couple of things I wish I did my first year. If anything, I wish my second year will be much much better. But I know it's only me who can make that happen.

Plus I need to turn in my clinical shit and parking permit application to USF. lol, fml.

monthly blog. that's whassup dough.

so like, kimi found my blog, and then reminded me about it today. i felt like blogging. just to dust it off a bit. you know.

so yeah, it's 4:30 a.m. right now. I'm wide awake. Doing what, you may ask? See, I should've slept at around 2:30 A.M., 'cause I was majorly sleeeepy. but then like, I got distracted by the compooter. i think that's pretty amazing. To be sleepy, and then wide awake the next. Kinda like the story of my life. I've been having some major sleeping problems. I mean, come on, blogging at 4 in the morning, now. Hence, I wake up at around 1-2 P.M. Not that much of a productive day. But anywho, I'll talk about some eventful things that I remember from the top of my head.

Waaaaaarped Tour, mahfucks.

It was the past Saturday, and I thought it was pretty fun. My cousin AJ came to my house at around 9:30 in the morning, and then we chilled at my house for awhile. Before we went to Pier 30/32 for the concert(s), we headed to Burger King, of course. Got those $1 rodeo cheeseburgers, little temptresses. And then we took awhile to find parking down on Embarcadero and Howard.

Right when we got there, we baarely made it for The Devil Wears Prada concert. pretty sick set too. Song I looked forward to (and they played! whoo) was Dez Moines. sick sick. And then after that, I met up with Lindsay to go watch Breathe Carolina. Another pretty sweet set; most memorable songs to me were Diamonds and See You Again. And then I watched Bayside! Damn, I love that band. And then after that, a little bit of 3OH!3. I thought it was worth it afterwards. But it was so mahfuckin' hot, that the whole time during the Warped Tour, I was thinking, "This isn't worth it, man. Screw the Warped Tour. I'm gonna die burning my face off." haha, but I got over it, and thought it was a very memorable experience. But afterwards, I took the longest and the most thorough shower ever. Smoke, sweaty bodies, humid don't mix too well, man.

And today, I watched Matthatter's basketball game at El Camino with Kimi and Norbie. I picked up Norbie and headed straight there. Afterwards, we ate at Denny's. duh, what else? Getting that Grand Slam. Our waiter was real impressive though, he remembered my order down to how I wanted my eggs, while also remembering 3 other peoples' orders. shoooot. Pro waiter, man. Then played some of that mahjong at Kimi's house. that was fun; I want to get better though. So many "wow, I could've won" moments. lol, but all is forgiven.

and here I am. almost 5 typing this little short story. Now to post some of them pictures that describe what happened to me since my last blog post.

sup.

long time no blog. but don't fear! here, i am. nothing's been going on really. school ended, i significantly raised my GPA, so i'm back to my confidence dealing with schoolwork.

but recent events that happened are: Fanime and Santa Cruz trip.

Fanime '09 was sick. saw so many cosplayers, and some were actually real sick. like this one Master Chief from Halo; i'll post a picture later. But it felt nice being around people with a common interest: anime, anime, and anime. it's not really a feeling i feel very often.

Santa Cruz trip was tiiiring. I was driver, and it was just me, matt, and joanne. me and matt picked up joanne, and then we were headed off! we came to surprise mine and matt's friend kimi for her 19th birthday. and then we ate at this bomb chinese buffet. shit, it was 4 star status. and for only $12. it may seem expensive, but i got my money's worth. haha.

but enough of that, i'm blogging now mainly to let out some thoughts. thoughts about one thing that's one every student's mind right now: summer. it's a time to hang out with friends without the pressure of school. but it's hard for me, since i barely have time to spend with other people. i feel that even though it is summer, i still have to juggle my life and organize my time for other people. i like my friends, and i love the time spent, it's just that it's hard to keep track. i don't know, i feel that i should be able to do it, but i don't know what i'm lacking in. and right now, i just want to give a big shout out to john uy, 'cause i always know you try hard for me to hang out with you, but i sometimes come short. but i just wanted you to know that i'm gonna try harder. i only say this right now, 'cause i know you're gonna read my blog 'cause you told me to update. alright, much love.

pz, <3, and ice cream.

same old, same old.

On Thursday, I spontaneously decided to go to San Jose, just for the hell of it. I decided like the day before, and I was like, yeah, whatever. My class got canceled, and all I had to do was make it to USF by 7:30 for that night class. So I made it, so it's whatever. All we did in San Jose was basically eat and play Street Fighter 4. lol, that was still fun though. The drive back was okay too. Not much to report, but I feel like a blog post is in order, since I brought the SLR with me. ;]

I also found a new love: $5 foot longs (from subway. not what you're thinking. sickos.) Say what you say about Subway , I don't caree!! I'm gonna get super slim like Jared. yayuh.






And USF had an open mic, and I was abke to spot the talent in USF. A couple of my friends, Arnie, Nate, and Ray decided to do it, and here's a pic of them performing. Plus other good talents. ;D

plans

I got a lot of stuff happening so fast. I'm going up to San Jose tomorrow, presentation for Microbiology class, and then the most major of them all, Los Angeles trip next thursday. I'm pretty stoked. Plus, I pulled out the SLR camera for all those raw pictures again. holluh.

Today, I just had lunch with John at King of Thai's. Got that #33, good stuff. The rest of the day, I felt like crap though. Sleeping at 4 is a no-go for next time. :( But I had a good reason! I watched the season finale of Chuck! And oh em geeee, it was probably one of the best episodes on television ever. I'm left wanting much much more, and I hope it doesn't get cancelled, as some rumors say. And now I'm watching 1% of Anything, this korean drama my dad suggested. I know, right? your dad suggessting something. oh well.

As to why I'm going to San Jose, I figure, why not? I like doing these random trips.

PS. I'm on cloud nine right now. :)


tee hee, just cause.

public speaking

I got a speech tomorrow. I'm supposed to be persuading people to my kind of thinking. I've decided to do it on legalizing gay marriage, a very controversial topic in this day and age. I'll be talking about people to accept it. I think I got some good shit; I wrote an essay about gay marriage, and I actually got this girl to accept it and think I'm right. lolwut?

I need to get some more clothes. sigh. plaid shirts just won't cut it anymore. I'm planning to go to Haight tomorrow and hit up True and Stussy to get a tee. Prepping for those hot days to come! :] which I'm really excited about, by the way. I love the hot weather, it just feels so natural to me. Cold days make me feel like shit and want to kill myself.

And I think my family wants to kill me. I opened the fridge, and then I see five tubs of ice cream. I'm probably gonna die in about a year or so.

I still have to work, so I'm done. deep talk later, ja?

PS: my student picture ID is TOTALLY faded. :(

studying studying studying.

I haven't posted in awhile. so I'm just do a real quick update.

I've been feeling a whole lot better overall. no more emo kid in the corner. that's what's up. I feel like things are looking up for me, school-wise and relationships-wise. Balancing it out is still no easy task, but I'm a trooper, so I think I can handle it. My latest obsession: Korean dramas. Wtf man? I didn't think I'd see the day. I've finished watching Coffee Prince, and I'm not gonna lie, I cried a bit. It just totally got to me. And now I'm watching Soulmate, which is pretty good in its own right. However, I recommend Coffee Prince. I believe there's this underlying message that I should get across, but it's just way too deep for people to get if they haven't watched it. So go. watch. cry. :)

I got a midterm in about 4 hours. I'm really chill about it. I feel like I got everything down. But I want to stay up late. I don't think it's a good idea, since I have to drive tomorrow, but I just can't sleep. I plan to sleep at my friend's house. I also want to bring my digital SLR again for those sunny days. Capturing beauty is one thing, but showing its true beauty is something I plan to do. Anyways, I don't have any cool-ass pictures, but here's a picture of myself right now as I write at 4:42 a.m. tee hee. :D

WDYWT: Levi's 511's, Plaid shirt, H&M sweater, Van's Sk8.
nah, i'm just kidding. I don't wear good enough shit to post about. I just want to pretend I'm cool in this one post.

Wonderful night.

So like, I haven't blogged close to two months. Actually, it'll be two months in one more day. but hah! Too bad I have something to say!

Things have been good. I've been getting back to guitar a lot. I want to experience that feeling of awe when I play the guitar again. The feeling where I just can't stop playing and I'm amazed what kind of things I can do with a guitar. I also want to vary my styles too now, 'cause now I really want to try out metal music and ukulele songs too. So I don't know where to start.

Last weekend, I went to a concert in Orange County that featured a pop group in South Korea, Wonder Girls. Honestly, I bought the tickets without that much knowledge of their songs, but once I started to indulge myself into their music, I'm starting to really like them. And that also opened up a liking towards Korean culture. But about the concert, I really enjoyed it. It felt really intimate just seeing them interact with each other while they were on stage. It was prettty cute. Plus So Hee was there. We were also seated fourth row, so I was pretty darn close too. I almost touched them, man! But crazy fans pushed me out of the way. Shiiiiet.

We also visited UC Irvine. I really liked their campus. Also making me thinking to try to transfer. My friend who visited with me is actually really trying to transfer now, 'cause of how cool the school was. Haha, but this weekend was pretty chill. And for now, here's pictures of Wonder Girls. :)








Random JYP picture. After tying a girl down to a bed. wtff!!

YES! YES! A MILLION TIMES YES!

Yes! I've watched Yes Man yesterday. I'm gonna review/contemplate about this movie now. In a nutshell, it's about a man who vowed to always say yes to everything. There's something about how it will open up more opportunities and if you just say no or avoid something all together, you will get some kind of negative karma. There is some truth in this. I've always wondered what would happen if I said yes to everything; there can be some kind of good consequence, but hey, if I said no, how would I ever know, right? Now, I strive to make opportunities happen to me now. I don't really want to live life like a routine; I like spontaneity sometimes in my life. I mean, who doesn't?

The movie, overall, is a hit or miss. It's either you like the comedy or you don't. But it does leave the watchers thinking though. Seriously, how different my life would be if I said YES to everything? but yeah, I would recommend it to Jim Carrey fans. And oh! One thing that bothered me somewhat was that Jim Carrey was pretty old compared to his friends and main girl! I was like...wow, so sad. But yeah, I liked the movie. Byah! 'Til next time. And here's a couple of pictures from the other day since I don't have any from the movies yesterday. D:

Winter Break Madness

Oh shit. I'm still on break. 'Til January 26!!! WTF! It's happening again, though. Everyone's leaving to their UCs and shit. Shiiiiiet. It's cool though, anyways, I'll blog about my past couple of weeks and whatnot.

Alright, actually, naah, I won't. It's pretty boring. lol. I'll blog about probably the big highlight of the break so far. It was the winter bash. Yeah! Fuck Christmas and New Years! It was fun, a lot of college freshman in a house with no parents. Of course it'd be fun! A lot of people were m.i.a. though, but I partied twice as hard for each person. x) All the pictures of me however are quite embarrassing, so no pictures for today! I'm just gonna post pictures of Christmas and New Years. (Fuck those holidays still! YEAH!!!) One thing I also remember quite well was that I practically gave up walking. I would just dance to places. I would moonwalk, line dance, cha-cha, rick-roll, whatever I wanted to do at the time. And that explains all my bruises and how sore my back was.

Ok, I still two and half weeks of break. I'm bored out of my mind. I have resorted to playing video games. tee hee. But hey, it's all good. I got the Blockbuster pass, so it's gonna be a movie madness at my house!!! byah!!
