DJ Ironik

DJ Ironik is the bomb! I love his raps and rhymes; they’re all so nice. I’m not sure if that makes sense.. nice rhymes. Haha. But anyways, he’s one emo rapper. I think most of his emo songs are rapping about this one girl. If you listen to the song “Tracy” and “I Wish“, it sounds like he’s rapping about the same girl. Check out the lyrics for “I Wish”. They’re pretty sick

He’s a new type of rapper that I’ve been listening to. It sounds like hes British, and he’s also not mainstream. (At least I don’t think he is.)

Longboard: Kickin’ and Pushin’

When people said, “You have A LOT of free time in college!”, I didn’t really understand what they meant when they used the words “a lot”. Now that I’m in college, I know what they’re talking about now. There are times when I am so bored, I’m desperate to do anything! Seeing that my apartment-mate is a longboarder, I asked him to teach. The first time I borrowed his board, I didn’t really feel the need to ask him for help. All you do is kick and push, right? I figured Lupe’s song was a good enough tutorial for me to learn how to longboard. I took the board out and started kicking and pushing. I was doing pretty good, but the board is kind of wobbly. Angela was also there to spectate and try. We took turns on the board, so she would get on and try it out. It was pretty scary because the board isn’t still; it wobbles left and right to turn. I didn’t really know how to stop either, so when I almost boarded to some grass, I fell backwards on my butt and wrist. Angela has yet to be in an accident. Lucky her. Anyways, I’ve been trying to commute with the longboard whenever I can, usually at night when less people are around. I’ve been getting better and better each day. Maybe when I come back for Christmas break, I’ll bring it along and show it to you people up in San Francisco. You don’t see much longboarders, eh?

Longboard

I found this really cool, but sick article on ShortNews. This lady from China has a rare condition where she can write on herself with her fingernail, then the words would welt up from her skin. That’s pretty sick, but if you think about it, you can save lots of money on notebooks and paper. Here’s a snippet from the article:

Huang Xiangji, a 50 year old woman from Chendu, China, is being studied by doctors for a rare condition she suffers from. Artificial Urticaria, is a syndrome where sufferers can write on themselves using a fingernail.

Xiangji, has her body covered in poems she has written with her fingers. After gently writing on the skin with a fingernail, the ‘writing’ rises through the skin as a welt. Xiangji said; “It is useful when it comes to writing a shopping list.”

There are no ill effects from the rare condition, although the Urticaria skin disorder is common. Sandra Hsu, of the Chinese Medical Association, said “The condition is basically an allergy, but to be so touch sensitive is highly unusual.”

Picture at source.

Stussy & Pool

The Stussy sale came today to Library Walk. I went over to Library Walk around 9:30 simply to get some Panda Express, but I already saw a line for the sale. What the? Do people not sleep in on Saturdays? I obviously have an excuse; I was hungry. People actually wake up early and line up for this? I knew what I had to do. Forget breakfast! I just went to line up with the rest of the people. Getting in was pretty quick. All I had to do was tell them I wear XL (which I don’t), and they let me cut everyone. I stayed there for about four hours because I had to wait for Angela and Betty, then line up to pay for the stuff I wanted to buy. I kept finding tee’s that I liked, but I didn’t want to spend so much money, so I had to nail down to four tee’s. The clothes there were cheap; jackets for 40; pants for 25; tee’s for 10; hoodies for 25.

Stussy

We had nothing to do on such a nice Saturday, so we decided to play pool. Seward, Angela, and I played for a total of five hours. By the end of this year, I swear, we’re gonna be pro at pool. Pool is so much fun. I never thought a long stick and balls would make time fly by so fast. We started at around 4:30, then we ended at 9:45. I think we’re gonna make the pool room our new hangout spot.

Bang!

Bang! I thought I would never see that game again! I miss ‘06 and ‘07 summer, where we would play “Bang!” and “Liar’s Dice” in Daycamp until like 7PM. Man, I wish Gordon was here. He’s the only person that can challenge me in a battle of wits during “Liar’s Dice”. Bang was also a crazy fun game. Dustin brought it to church to let us play, then we totally got hooked!

Bang! is a card game where everyone is a character, and a specific role. You’re either an outlaw, renegade, deputy, or sheriff. The outlaw’s objective is to kill the sheriff. The renegade’s objective is to kill everybody. The deputy’s objective is to protect the sheriff, and the sheriff’s objective is to eliminate all renegades and outlaws. This game is fun because you only know who the sheriff is. You have to try to figure out who is who. This game really makes me laugh.

I would explain what “Liar’s Dice” is, but its really hard to explain. It’s a game where you try to out-think everyone, and try to think more steps ahead. I don’t think much people here would like to play that. Maybe Seward would.

Why did I talk about “Bang!”? I went to MASA’s potluck today with Angela, Seward, Vinson, Nathan, and Betty. While I was eating, I spotted Bang! I was like, “Oh no they did not just have bang here”. Instantly, I was trying to gather people to play. Man! It was so hard explaining how to play to people. It was still fun to play. Lots of laughs and lots of yelling. I wish I was back at chuch, playing Bang with everyone else that played back then.

Hancock

We went to watch Hancock yesterday at the Price Center Theatre. I thought it was going to be some stupid superhero movie, but in the back of my head, I was like “No way… It’s Will Smith!” I knew my homeboy Will Smith wouldn’t let me down. If you haven’t watched it yet, you better check it out. It totally blew my mind because of how the story was. I was like “Whoaaa!” Haha. If I was to rate this movie…

Story: A-
Acting: B+
Visuals: B (The special effects looked pretty fake)
For more info, “ch3ck it” here! (Get it? check it.. ch3– ah nevermind)

I haven’t really posted up any new music. I got so much! Most of it is from Akon, so for all of you that love him, this has got to be the best post for you.

Enjoy!

Sick!

Who would’ve thought that I would catch a cold in San Diego? I went to the movies with Angela and Betty with a tee on because it was hot. Once I got into the theatre, it was all cold and breezy. I thought I could handle it, but when I got out, it was soooo cold. I walked around like that for a bit, then everything started turning bad. I started getting a headache, then a runny nose, then stuffed ears. During that night, I couldn’t even sleep. I had an 8 o clock class the next day! Boo! Well anyways! Here’s a really interesting article I found on ShortNews.

Haha. I really like this lawyer’s argument. Here’s a lesson everyone should learn; be careful what you post on facebook.

Wong Fu @ UCSD

Wong Fu Productions came to UCSD! Sucks for you, Annie. They came to speak about their videos and their history. It was kind of cool that they met each other their third year in media class or something. They just shot with regular cameras before they went all big and stuff. Far East Movement also came and spoke. They showed their video “Dance Like Michael Jackson”. That song isn’t really that good, but their dancing there was. I also liked the tee’s they were wearing.

If you guys don’t know what Wong Fu is, go YouTube them up. Maybe you’ve heard of their “Nice Guy” videos, or their other shorts. Here’s a short: If I Could Date A Burrito

MASA

Today was MASA(Multi-Asian Student Association) for their first GBM(General Body Meeting). They showed a slideshow, and then some short videos that they made. The videos were really cool and funny. They did like a 300 spoof, then like a Star Wars spoof. They even have their own dance group called KunFusion. Best thing is that you don’t even need to have dancing experience. After the meeting, we went to Convoy to Tapioca Express. It’s about time I got to Convoy! I haven’t had milk tea with tapioca for the longest time. The people there are really friendly. I got to meet a bunch of people. Talking to them in a group makes me feel like I’m back at home. They also talk about weird things. The ride back was pretty fun too. We were telling ghost stories while going back to UCSD. MASA seems like a really fun group. It reminds me of back home.

Here’s some of their cool videos.

TV @ RIMAC

Watching television while working out helps me forget the burn and the pain that comes from it. I was doing the chest working while sitting when I saw the TV that was hanging from the ceiling. The “Colbert Report” was on, and it was talking about O.J Simpson. They didn’t have the volume on; I assumed it was muted. The captions on the bottom of the screen helped me know what was going on. What I thought was funny was when he said O.J went to jail on purpose. O.J was searching so hard for the so-called “killer” that murdered his wife. He obviously exhausted the avenues, so he knew the killer was in jail already. Wouldn’t you think it’s kind of weird when you work out, and then someone starts chuckling next to you? Well.. I’m the guy next to you. Haha. Thank goodness for RIMAC. If there wasn’t RIMAC, I’d be getting fat from doing nothing all the time. Another good thing is that they have a big gym for basketball. Good for me!

Right now, I feel like crap. My muscles feel like jello and I feel like just going to bed. Too bad I still have to shower and brush my teeth first. I hate doing those things!

Ghosts

What’s wrong with UCSD-TV? Did they cut channel five or something? We were supposed to watch “Animation Domination” today, but something was wrong with channel five and we ended up not be able to watch it. What we did end up watching was “Creepiest Places” and “Terrifying Places” on Travel TV. All these talk about ghosts really got me spooked. It started off with Angela, Kim, Betty, and I watching it. After the “Creepiest Places” finished, Kim and Angela left. “Terrifying Places” came on and it was just Betty and I watching it. It sure feels scarier watching it with less people, especially with only one other person. The stupid show got everything in it: haunted hospitals, hotels, theatres, and houses.

What I thought was the scariest was the haunted hospital. The hospital used to be a hospital for tuberculosis patients, then it became more of a morgue than a hospital because of all the fatalities there. They even have a tunnel called “body chute” where the bodies get thrown out of so the other patients don’t see piles of bodies. Part of the hospital is even a mental ward for people that turn crazy from tuberculosis. A pregnant single nurse hung herself in front of a room because she caught tuberculosis. What a scary sight to imagine, huh?

What I thought was really creepy was the “Winchester House“. It’s a house built by some rich woman so the spirits wouldn’t haunt her. She built the house with stairs leading to ceilings, doors and windows opening to walls, hallways with an 8 feet drop, and even a door that leads you to fall right out of the house. I want to visit that house one day, but it’s so creepy.

I hate thinking/watching scary stuff before I walk to Muir and back because I have to walk back alone.

Homework Session

What an odd decision made by Angela. There was a Stunna Shades Dance going on today at “The Loft”, so Angela wanted to get her homework done before she went. Angela, Betty, and I got back from Fashion Valley Mall at around six, and the dance started at 9, so she wanted to get her homework done quick. She was gonna go to Geisel Library to do her homework. Betty and I had nothing to do, so we decided to go with her. After everyone went back to their dorm/apartment to get their stuff, I decided to check the library times. Turns out that the Geisel Library closes at 6 pm during weekends, so we decided to go to Price Center. In Price Center, theres theses little study rooms enough for about five or six people to study together, so we decided to use one. After three hours of being in there, we decided to go. Doing homework in a group isn’t that bad; it’s actually pretty fun. You can give or receive help. It’s much easier than asking for help on AIM or something. Although I didn’t get to finish my homework because I redid my stupid essay, I still got things done.

Lupe Fiasco @ RIMAC Arena

Fall Fest was pretty crazy! The first flyer I saw when I arrived to UCSD was the Fall Fest 2008 flyer with the words “Lupe Fiasco” in large print. After reading it, I quickly told Angela, who got interested right away. Today, Angela and I were late to line up, so we had Betty line up for us. Once we reached there, the line was so full that we climbed over the rails to stay with the group. There were three groups playing: We Are Lions, Ben Kweller, and Lupe Fiasco. I thought they were all really good, but some audiences wanted them to hurry up and finish so Lupe would go on faster. I wouldn’t mind listening to one or two more of their songs then, but they finished off with around five-six songs each. Once Lupe got on, everyone started screaming. Of course, he sang his famous songs, “Hip Hop Saved My Life”, “Superstar”, and “Kick, Push”. I barely knew the other ones, but some were also good. He had loads of energy just moving around and dancing on stage. I don’t think there was a second where his dancing/singing looked like he was stabbing someone or beating someone. I’m sure it takes loads of energy to be able to dance like that for around three hours on stage. His energy made the concert so much better than if he was just rapping while walking left and right across the stage.

He gave a really inspiring speech about us making changes and voting. He said it doesn’t really matter who we vote for. The most important vote is to vote for ourselves. We have to wake up from our sleep and start being active leaders.

Since I was at a concert, here’s a song I got from there. The song is called Daydreamin’.

Grade for Fall Fest? Look one line down.

Nice Guy

I couldn’t go to MASA’s Pho event today because I had a stupid discussion at 6PM. How useless! I didn’t even need to go. Everyone’s asking stupid questions on easy problems, and I stayed just to take detailed notes for future references. I got out of the stupid lecture at 7PM, then went back to my apartment. As usual, no ones home. Some roommates are out at a concert. Another is hanging out with his korean friends. Betty and them are out at Pho. Whatever.

I was just surfing the web when I was curious about what updates Wong Fu had since the last time I checked them out. That was like half a year ago. They didn’t really have much new stuff, so I decided to view the thing that made me start to like them, the “Just a Nice Guy” shorts. It’s about a guy named Nick that is a “NG”. (Nice Guy). He likes this girl, but he doesn’t want to te– just watch it for yourself! For me, after watching it again, I came to a conclusion that I still love it! It’s so cool. For some reason, a lot of people from UCSD don’t know who Wong Fu is. I was like “What?! Why’d you come to this school for?!” Haha.

Check out their other stuff too! Either go on YouTube and type in “Wong Fu Productions”, or go to their website.

This Is Why I’m Hot

Dude! What’s wrong with stupid San Diego? After class, at around 11AM, the Yahoo! Weather said it was 92F degrees in La Jolla. (Yes, UCSD is not actually in SD; it’s in friggin’ La Jolla) Why is it so hot?! I thought summer was over already! Apparently not. While I was walking back to my apartment, my neck started feeling like it was being fried. I must’ve been out, starting from getting out of class to going back to my apartment, for a total of probably 5 minutes at max. Once I got back, I quickly switched from my black jeans to gray thin shorts. Oh gosh, I gotta get used to this SD weather.

So .. Eagle Eye was the bomb! I’m just gonna summarize it real quick. It’s about this dude and this gal runnin’ around, takin’ orders from this computerized voice. They either obey or bad stuff happens. Bam Bam Boom Boom! Fast forward. The end. In conclusion, the movie was really good. It’s a must watch for sure.

I haven’t posted up a song here for quite some time, so here’s a song I listened to a long time ago but fell in love with again.

Very good lyrics. Listen.
