what friends are

Before it happens you try to figure ways to find friends. Sometimes worried that the ones you have are going to disappear sometimes and leave you behind. So I went out and joined organizations to make friends. But the weird thing you don't realize and don't figure out till later is that...well friends come at the most unexpected times from the most unexpected places. You don't even realize your making a friend cause your looking in the wrong place...and then it hits you. Theres people all around you who you just never gave a chance to. Sometimes it just takes a second for you to open your eyes to realize that there are friendly people around you all the time, you just have to give them and yourself a chance.

Vege day 3!! Success!!

Vege Week!

So this week is vege week!! Me and some people are going to try to eat like a vegetarian for the next week to see how we do. Now personally i don't know really anything about being a vegetarian. So i think this will be a personally good experience for my health (if i do it right). So the ground rules we kinda thought up were that one; no meats of course. Secondly none of the vege processed food, cause since im only doing it for 6 days i think thats kinda cheap if i eat the fake burgers and such. Lastly is to try and stay away from sweets since they are a wake substitute for good food i could be eating. Well see how this goes!

Had my SPOP sleep over on friday too, boy was that fun! We just played games all night long, it was good to get to know my family mates more over the course of the night. Still haven't thought of a family name yet, but hopefully soon we will have a bad ass name which all other families will beg to have!

Me and time

I've been giving some thought into this for some time. I want to play a musical instrument. Didn't have the money to buy one yet. Always wanted to play a guitar...love the sound of a slow melody, puts my head to rest. Love the sound of a piano melody..just a piece of heaven on earth. Was going to save some money first so i can afford it. I just want something to do that is..me. My sister used to play the piano...when she would play Moonlight Sonnata, it would almost make me cry it sounded so lovely. Everything would just stop in the room and only her fingers and the piano were actually in the room. Hopefully soon ill get something so i can learn my own tune to life.

Sunny sunny shine

Well had a good time this weekend spending quality time with family and friends. :) Got to go visit a friend in LA and try octupus sushi for the first time...not bad. I'm just turning more asian every day! Had Wayzgoose on saturday which spent a good 4 hours eating mass quantities of food, and listening to music and watching dance teams go at it. Got a little bit of a sun burn, but that you can blame on my dad. Went to the Hanna-Matsui festival at the local Buddist church near my house and ate more japanese food, spent some quality time with the parents. Never get enough of that. :)

I need some serious sun coming up. I kinda look like a vanilla Popsicle stick that hasn't seen the outside of the freezer in a long time.

Feels weird

Feels weird. Don't know what to say. A TA of mine from last quarter was discovered dead, maybe murdered near our school. Didn't know him too well, but the fact i could say hi to him on ring road is...im not sure. Never had anyone i knew besides family die.

Good Luck Sir!

So i've normally always been a kinda laid back and don't take risks kind of guy. Actually that was literaly my whole life. Waiting for things to happen to me, instead of me getting up and making things happen. Ill admit it, it scares me. But this last year if anything has taught me that you are the only one who can decide when things are going to happen. You can't expect a girl to like you, if you treat her the same way you treat all the other girls. You can't expect to get a job, if you just fill out resumes and sit around waiting. You have to be pro-active and stand out. Thats what you got to do, and i think im going to do...just that.

All in a days work

Well went to D&B's last night to just hang out with some friends and have a good time. Was pretty cool to have the roomies there and some of the new friends i have met in SPOP over the last two weeks. They are all crazy and awesome in there own ways, making my days shorter because i don't have enough time to spend with them all.
Well today was a pretty freakin long day, of being a zombie in class from 8am-3pm cause i was just freakin tired from this last week. I think UCI must have some energizer bunny hoppin around Aldrich Park cause it seems to have sucked the life out of my today. Well in the afternoon everything was 30X better cause...DISNEYLAND!!! with the Satow family (cousins) and my roomie Jason! Spent most of my time with my cousins, aunt and uncle. It was really cool to just hang out with them for a while, don't get to really see them more than a few times a year. Man my little cousins are just growing up so fast...there like 11yrs and the other is about to be 15yrs old. I still remember when both of them were just about to be born, haha. Im freakin old. But as they get older it is like they are on the somewhat same level as me, we can just chat it up about anything. (almost anythin). Same goes with my aunt and uncle. When i was little they were just that. But as i get older i see them as relatives and friends who are easy to talk to, joke with, and just be with.

Nothin like Dland with people who are awesome :]

Spoken Words, you save my life

So had my 2nd day of SPOP training today! Got to meet some more awesome people, and i got to meet my SPOP family...they are awesome!!! I can't wait till we show up all those other want to be families...pshhhhhh! :0
But what i wanted to write about today i about what happened after SPOP training. Usually we go hang out somewhere to just chill, so we went to Jamboree square to chill with some boba. There was also another event that was announced and that was Open MiKe night at this coffee joint (can't recall the name! xp) Well at first i wasn't sure i was going to go to the open mic night, but i went cause one of the SPOP coords was going to make her first ever Spoke Words. Let me tell you...it was moving. It was beautiful. When she started off, i wasn't sure how it was going to go. But she seemed so confident, with so much passion. Her words, the meanings she was expressing, they almost made me cry a little cause they were so meaningful. After hearing people young and old go up to play music, do spoken word, and just express themselves, i think im going to give it a shot soon. Its going to take me awhile to get some words together to do this...im no wordsmith, haha. But before this quarter is over, i think im going to do this.

My heart has stopped...for in another it is beating

[While reading...freakin cool remix to listen to..]



So i am drinking an ice coffee right now...and my bro sends me this article on facebook....that scientist at UCSB have discovered and proven that parallel universes exist. Now if you just read the last sentences take a step back. Take a breathe and think about what you just read. This is the kind of small discoveries that excell our species in another direction. Not only does this mean we know that we now exist in other dimensions at the same time, but that time travel is possible. That is F*cking amazing. Not only does this change everything, but it once again proves my idol Albert "gangsta" Einstein was right again! :) If you read the article it is kinda mind bending. Some scientist looked at a metal super small under cold conditions, then they plucked a tuning fork and watched the metal vibrate...and stay still at the same time. WHAT THE HEY?!!! Right. Amazing. This just made my day freak amazing. I could get robbed at gun point right now and i think i would still be smiling cause i know in another dimension i just beat the snot out of that guy. :)

Above and Beyonderly!!

So i went on a run this morning, actually i went up to the highest i could go. Ran to the top of turtle rock hill and spent some craig time up there. Wanted to just look around, get some peace and quite, and relax. What made it great was that i saw a lonely hawk slowly circling around the top of the hill..just doing his thing. While sitting up there i thought of one of the things that always, every day fascinates me, space. Though the sky was blue, and i couldn't see them, i knew the stars were up there. Haven't gone star gazing in a long time, ill have to make a note to myself to go do that soon since the nights are getting warmer. I always would like to think that if i were a billionaire i'd blow it all on making my own space pad. If i had to go down, even in an accident, it would have to be in rocket going into space. What a greater place than in the celestial space between heaven and earth. (not that i want die xp)

By the way...HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!! :) :)

Southland

So i just got done watching...for the second time...the latest episode of Southland. Most people probably haven't heard of this show, mostly cause it got droped by nbc after its first season. TNT picked it up, and well its been fantastic since. IMDB gives it a 8.6/10, which is freakin amazing. Southland just brings together a very raw, and realistic point of view to the daily life of the LAPD. I like it because its not fake with dumb catch phrases like in LAW and ORDER. From the beginning you get to know the 6-7 main characters and you realize they are all human, and each one has their strengths and their weaknesses. I like it because you see them learn and grow, while also keeping the peace in the mean streets of LA.
I just have to say that if you ever have a minute or two, just watch an episode. I got hooked after the first episode..and been wanting to look back to watch more ever since.

SPOP..family

So yesterday was my first day of SPOP training!!! And it was..AmaZingG!!! I at first totally thought it was going to be weird, and awkward...but surprisingly it was super fun and everyone was really really nice! Played little ice breaker games, and learned the rules and some pledges of SPOP. Made me happy :)
Also brought up a thought yesterday. I was talking to one of the new staffers and they mentioned how they were super close to their family. Often at times in school my life can get swept away with the crazyness and you forget about people who are apart of your lives. I like to think i have many families..my SPOP family...my apartment family...and my one and only Schlothan family (+plus Sal T.). I love all my families, each one brings something to the table which brightens my day and makes all the hard days so much easier. I don't get to see my real family too often because of school but they are my world. Everytime i go home, the outside world closes to me and i kinda really do nothing but stay home. They have been there for 22 years, and i know they will be there for the next 22(X3) :)
