What Do SoCal People Call Tapioca?

In Inside My Head, Random on January 21, 2009 at 12:20 PM

Okay, I haven’t updated for almost two weeks. How lazy have I gotten since I got down here? Well anyway, I’ve been wanting to post this since I went to the Tapioca Express that opened on campus in Price Center. When I got the receipt for my number on it, I saw that they had some weird lingo on the receipt. I was like “wtf?!” Here’s what totally made me “LOL”.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Yeah. That’s it for today. Lame, right?

Slacking on Posting

In Daily Life, Inside My Head, Random, Special Events on December 27, 2008 at 10:58 PM

Oh jeez! I’ve been slacking on posting what I’ve been doing. Everything I get home, I’m always so tired that I don’t really want to do anything tedious. I usually get home around midnight, then I just go on the computer to either chat or YouTube. I only do late night postings in San Diego ;] Hm.. what have I been doing? Let me try to remember …

Christmas: Before & After

What did I do for Christmas Eve? Hmm .. I left the house at around 4PM to go to the pier with Betty, Angela, Shirley, Jeffrey, and Sabrina. Man! It was raining pretty hard that day. While walking to Pier 39, we passed by Starbucks and saw Edward taking out the trash. Since we were there, we decided to go visit him, but he went to the “back” to do something. He never came out so … we left. Haha. Once we got to the pier, we just went to look at the bay for a bit, then the sea lions. Surprisingly, there were still some out in the open and were “arf-arf-ing”. Someone was hungry, so we decided to go to In-N-Out. We got our food, then Edward came to meet us up. Since I had to go to a White Elephant thing at Jordan’s house, I just got an In-N-Out gift card, then we all left to go take the bus. I rushed to the BART station, then took the BART to Balboa Park where Joey picked me up. He gave me a ride to Jordan’s, then we just chilled, played White Elephant (I got a fleece blanket :) ), then watched “Bucket List”. It was still good the second time I watched it. Home after that. Nothing big.

For Christmas, I left the house at around 10AM to meet up Betty, Sabrina, Angela, and Jeffrey to watch “Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons“. That movie was pretty good, but not as good as I expected. It was a pretty hilarious too, which I didn’t expect. After watching Benjamin Buttons, we went to watch “Valkyrie“. I actually had high hopes for the movie, but it wasn’t as good as I expected. Eh. None of the movies met up to my expectations! They didn’t suck though, which was fine .. I guess. Haha. After that, Betty and I left to go eat while Jeffrey, Sabrina, and Angela went to watch “Yes Man”. We met up Edward at his house to go to Boudins to have some clam chowder in a bowl. Man, it was pretty darn good. Outside eating + fire place + clam chowder in a bowl = some friggin’ good clam chowder in a bowl experience. After .. we went to 7-11 to get some stuff. Then .. went to Edward’s to wash my hands and use the bathroom. After, we left to go home. I had dinner with my family + grandpa & grandma, then went back out at around 11PM to go to Embarcadero with Edward, Anthony, Sabrina, Kenny, Betty, and Angela. We went to 7-11 again to grab some food, then went to the Hyatt to chill. After the Hyatt, we decided to go to Sabrina’s to SingStar for a bit. Turns out a bit became 3 hours. We left her house at around 4AM-ish?

December 26th

Woke up at Edward’s. Then used the computer for a bit. I woke Edward’s lazy butt up to go eat. Went to Pacific Court at around 2PM. An Duc and Seward came a bit after. Edward decided to go get a haircut. The rest of us went to Pier 39 to chill. Saw some crazy breakdancing people there. Edward came a little later becacuse his aunt’s place was crowded. After we chilled there, we went to Chinatown. Seward went to D&A, which is now called Broadway Cafe, to eat. An Duc went home. Edward and I went to Macy’s to check out some stuff. After Downtown, which was around 6PM, we went to CC to meet up Kenny, Seward, and An Duc. Played basketball until 10PM. Went to Broadway Cafe to have a little snack, then went home.

December 27th (Today)

Betty texted me late last night at around 4AM to go ice skating, but I didn’t see it until like 11AM. Met up Betty at around 2PM at the Embarcadero, but we couldn’t ice skate because of some ” ‘unforseen’ complications”. Haha :) . We then walked around the Embarcadero for a bit, then decided to walk to Ma’s Dim Sum. Ate at Ma’s, then went to Quickly to grab a drink. Went to Woh Hei to chill for a bit, then went to Downtown to take the L to go to Sunset to Karaoke. Met up Karen, Linda, Angela, Annie, Jeffrey, Devin, Anthony, Kevin, Kenny, and Sabrina at the Karaoke place. We karaoked for around 2 hours, then went to KFC for a bit. After that, took the L back to Downtown, where Linda & I went home. Now I’m here! Oh jeez! So much that I wrote. I guess I’m done for today.

“Fob” Hair

In Daily Life, Inside My Head, Random, Uncategorized on December 19, 2008 at 2:15 AM

Since I came back to San Francisco, people made fun of my long hair. I was too cheap to cut it in San Diego, so I left it growing freely. After a while, the hair on the top of my head would not stay up for more than an hour after being blowdryed up. It would slowly droop down until my hair looks like Super Saiyan hair. I call it Super Saiyan hair, but some people call it fob hair, wanna-be fob hair, bush, or even Dustin hair. Dustin hair? Really? Maybe guys coming back from San Diego have similar hairstyles. Haha. Well, I cut my Super Saiyan hair today in Chinatown. They cut it so fast that it seemed like they took only 5 minutes. They put on the flip, shaved the top of my head, then shaved the sides, then cut the rest. That was probably the fastest hair cut I’ve ever had in my life. It might be one of the best I had too. Too bad .. it looks like An Duc hair now. Ew.

Just kidding.

Super Saiyan Hair Status!

Poem From A Brother

In Random on December 9, 2008 at 10:14 PM

Pleasure turns to the pain,
lessons learned from the strain,
questions burned in my brain… About
whether love is humane in its touch.
These thoughts are like salmon
swimming upstream in the tears of
your deceit, fighting the current hurt
that kills more than is created by the
chaos of our intertwined emotions,
chaotic because the anchor of Erros’
arrow has been plucked from the
vessel of my undying infatuation
separation not as simple as the
distance between us. My mind no
longer possessed by demons that
have been the overseers of my
enslavement to your lies.
The seeds of these lies rooted deeply.
they have cracked the foundation of
what we once shared allowing the
faith in us, I had sealed inside, to gush
out like a river
ripping the image of our future
together from my thoughts as
violently and as brutally as if it were a
child being taken from its mothers
arms. I’m left surrounded in darkness
but I refuse to be swallowed by it.
My loneliness like the night air
invisible to the eye obvious to the
touch, it is so cold uncomfortableness,
yet if I could do it all over again I’d do
it in the same skin I’m in.
To lay down and let love die, just stay
down and let love lie? No. no… not I…
I’d stay around and let love fly even
though I have seen its darkest form
deceit nothing else could taste this
warm and feel this sweet…

Longboard: Kickin’ and Pushin’

In Inside My Head, Random on October 23, 2008 at 3:25 PM

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?

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.
