Hey hey hey, it is now mid-July.  I cannot believe it.  I have been so busy that the pages have just been flying off my calendar with me quite unaware.  I find myself very occupied lately, yet shamefully I do not see anything truly accomplished. This feeling that time is just passing you by can be surprisingly depressing and discouraging.   Another thing, I feel bad for Xanga. The "new and improved" means of linking together people through the internet, Friendster, has taken over the general public by storm.  There are only a few bored and lonely persons, like myself, who still resort to Xanga to vent to that listening ear.  Well, I really shouldn't say such. It is very possible that there are still very popular and important people out there who must utilize such a tool as Xanga in order to reach out to every member of their large information-demanding audiences. However, I am not one of those people. Never the less, Xanga's usage has dramatically declined. I remember that not too long ago, my daily email of Xanga subscriptions would be long and interesting.  Now I am lucky if I have one or two a week.  Sometimes I pondered upon whether I should keep updating my xanga entry or not.  Is it worth my valuable time and effort updating when only a few people reads it?  I still believe that many of us are still reading people's entry, but most of us are now lazy leaving comments.  Let’s see the outcome of Xanga in a few more months.  Xanga had lasted a good one full year.  Now, let’s see how long friendster will last.  AIM is still truly the most useful tool.  It lasted over 10 years and still growing.  Sad. I don't have much more to say, just that today is one of those days where I feel incredibly thankful for everything that I have. So, whoever it is that is blessing me, thank you.

Brief Summary of the past weekend:

THURSDAY: chilled at UCI wit peter, thao, betty, and lulu

FRIDAY: gone to Jason, Steve, and Brian's birthday party.

SATURADAY:  gone to a party with the party crew at UCLA

SUNDAY: Me and Zheng were bored and decided to visit two of the party crew members working that day at Ontario Mills.  Also, was told by them two that there are two hot chicks working at the GUESS store.  We only saw one of them.  She's aiite I guess.  Not all that great.  Anyways afterwards, we met up wit another party crew member, bobby, to play bball at West Cov.  Way too many people so I only got to play one long game  

MONDAY:  chilled wit 2 of my HS homies: peter and william at the Block

LUDIA getting all messed up:

REBECCA thinks she owns the whole room.  Shoot, taking up soo much space:

I HOPE EVERYONE HAD AS MUCH FUN AS I DID JULY 4^th WEEKEND!!

THURSDAY: watched T3 at the block.  It was better than I have expected.  But I still like T2 more.

FRIDAY:  Kicked it with couple of my high school buddies.  Had a great time talking about how stupid we were back in high school and always getting in trouble.  Ahh..those days….Later in the afternoon, I went to eat at this restaurant called Lucille’s with Peter and Lydia at Long Beach Towne Center.  Damn, that place has the best ribs.  You guys gotta go there one day.  The only problem was, the price wasn’t worth it.  We spent over $36 for just two plates and the line was too long.  Around 9 pm, I went to Laura’s bbq at her $2 million dollar house in San Marino.  On the way there, I saw like 10 different fireworks from different cities on the fwy from 9:00-9:30.  Damn, what a bad way to spend my July 4^th watching fireworks on the road by myself.  Anyways, the bbq was pretty cool.  Got to kick it with some of the ppl I haven’t seen in a while.  Also I got those lil poppers being thrown at me.  I’m going to get you back Terren!!  Around 2 am, we were all-hungry and decided to chilled at Garden Café in Alhambra for a bit.

SATURADAY:  Laura called to go to some party in Marina Del Rey with Becky and Annie.  So I decided to go since I had no plans.  I dragged Zheng to go since I didn’t want to be the only guy going.  The party was pretty chilled.  None of us really drank a lot except that we were teasing Annie the whole night.  Heheheh!!  Most of us were laughing so hard the whole night that our stomach was hurting.  I had a hard time eating my double double at inn-n-out later after the party.  Had to take a major crap the minute I got home, hehe .

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The scariest thing about falling in love is getting hurt. The scariest thing about getting hurt is not being able to love again. The scariest thing about not loving again is being alone FOREVER...

This past weekend was very productive for me.  Started off on Thursday going shopping with Sue in the daytime and chilling at Old Town Pasadena.  Then went to Livebait during the night.  It was too packed that we couldn't even move around and it was a cockfest party.  Didn't have a good time. 

Friday I went to Stanley's birthday party.  It was more like a kickback.  Had a couple of shots and was having a great time until at the end of the night, some girl I just met that night told me to sit next to her since she didn't know anyone there.  So being a nice person, I sat next to her.  After a short conversation, she started sitting close to me and  before I noticed anything, her arms were around me while I was leaning forwards talking to some ppl..eww, gross!!  (If she was hot, then yea, I wouldn't mind...haha ).  But yea, I made a good excuse that I had to go pee and got away from her. 

Saturaday, Jolie woke me up hellllla early to go chill.  She told me she would be here at 12:30.  After I got ready and stuff, I waited for another hour until 1:30.  So I called her and she said she was still at MPK gettin ready.  Dang, lagger.... It's cool, I lag too   We ended up watchin Charlie's Angels.  The movie ok...I liked the first one better.  Later at night, I went to Christy's birthday party.  Dang, I got soo messed up after only 3 shots of 99 Bananas. I wasn't sure why but dang, that drink fuks u up.  This is only my 2nd time trying that drink and both times it screwed me over.  I think I'm just allergic to that drink.  Never going to drink that crap again.  Even taking 3 shots barcardi 151, I wouldn't get that messed up.

AT STANLEY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY:

AT CHRISTY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY:

Christy and Valerie always gettin wild:

hahah!! Cindy slapping Tung's ass:

Party Crew gettin messed up:

Ever notice when your driving on the same freeway everyday, you sometimes see the same people at the right time, right place during rush hour.  I tend to notice that every time I’m on the road.  Especially when I see people with fixed up cars.  It’s always the same people.  A few times in my lifetime, I have bumped into my friends unexpectedly on the freeway.  If only that person was like 10 seconds in front or back of me on the freeway, most likely I probably won’t even bump into him/her.  Today, I saw Bao (my ex-pledge), unexpectedly.  At first, I thought it was some dude that just wanted to race me.  Then as I got closer to him, I started honking to say hi.  Wow!! Small world. 

This past weekend was pretty fun.  My graduation commencement was exhausting.  It started at 9 am, and I had to be there at 8 am.  My sister and Sue was sooo sweet.  They bought me lei for my graduation at 6 am at a store.  Sue, however, had to drive all the way to downtown just to get it for me since they ran out at the local shop.   Thanks Sue,.  you didn’t have to.  I really appreciate it though .  Just want to say thanks to my sister also for waking up that early too,  knowing that you can’t never get up that early.  The duration of the ceremony took a good two and a half-hours, but what seems like an eternity.  It was the hottest day of the week and the ferocious sun was hunting through my face.  I got a major tanned the next day.  But yeah, afterwards, I took pictures with some friends and my family.  Later on during nighttime, I had my graduation party.  The turnout came out pretty great.  I didn’t expect it to be that great since there were sooo many graduation parties on the same night.  Some of my friends couldn’t make it to mine, because they promised to go to others already.  Thanks to those that came out.  I don’t remember how many shots I have drank, but it felt like I had overdose.  I was surprised that I didn’t yak.  The only person that did yak was Jason Gim.  Haha, weaksauce.  What a big disgrace to Koreans, Jason…heheh!!  Later on, I knocked out not knowing what had happened.  Someone told me I was sleeping next to Tung.  That’s sick.  I want to see that picture, who ever took it.  Next day, everyone was gone when I woke up in my apartment and I had to clean up the whole pad with a crazy hangover

Wow!! 3 days left until my Graduation Commencement!!  Time sure goes by fast!!  4 years of college has finally come to an end.  I'm a lil sad at the moment, yet very excited.  Never knew this day would arrive soooo quickly.  Seems like I haven't enjoy my fullest in my college career, but as I look back, I have done soo many things in such a short time.  From having the best time of my life in the DORMS meeting new people, to having my first real girlfriend 2nd year, to joining a fraternity, and having soo many different roommates as each year goes by.  I had FUN!!!  Now, in a few days, I'm moving back home for the Summer.  Not going to get used to it again.  Then on August 28th, most likely i'll be living in Binghamton, NY for a semester till December 20th..Going to miss everyone..  But yea everyone, COME TO MY GRADUATION PARTY THIS SATURADAY NIGHT at my apartment.  Call me for more info....  If you like, you can also come to my Graduation ceremony too.  It starts at 9 am though.  For most people, I know that is helllla early. I bet I probably won't even wake up in time for it. hehe...

LAST SATURADAY:  Didn't do much the whole day except later during the nighttime, Sugi and Karen called me up to go watch a movie.  In my mind, I was like "dang, I just went to see a movie the day before."  But I ended up going anyways.  Pretty much I had seen Bruce Almighty, Finding Nemo, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Matrix.  Basically all the good movies.  So I told them lets go see Wrong Turn.  Well, didn't turn as great as what we expected.  So at the end, everyone was blaming on me for picking that movie.  They were all saying "It's all your fault, Jerry!"  But yea, we all had a great time that night as you can see on the new pictures I have posted.

LAST FRIDAY: I went to chill with Sue after she got off work.  We went to see 2 Fast 2 Furious.  The movie was pretty ok..not bad.  The acting kinda sucked.  Afterwards, there wasn't much to do so we ended up watching another movie at her pad called "Hot Chick."  Pretty good movie.  go watch it if you haven't seen it yet.

LAST THURSDAY: I went to the pineapple party with the party crew and 2 of rockstars crew.  Probably would be my last pineapple party.  The party usually is held at el castillo.  This time it was being held at El Sopranos.  So the party kinda sucked.  The place was too small and crowded.  Not as great as the past pineapple parties.
