“Fob” Hair

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!

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.

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.

Be Yourself

College is a place where you meet new people. No one really knows you on campus. You can act, talk, and walk like whoever you like. What better person can you be than yourself? I don’t think you need to change yourself in order to meet new people. If you act different towards new people, they won’t like you for you. Also, keep your old friends close. You don’t have to try so hard to stick your head out to meet new people that you drift away from your old friends. Don’t try to go to every event to be cool. Thanks.

UCSD: Day 1 & 2

Day 1: Woke up at 3am, got in the car, and started going. I tried to sleep in the car until like 7. I got at most 15 minutes of sleep in the car. Stopped off somewhere near Lost Hills to grab some Carl’s Jr for breakfast. Kept driving. Got suck in LA traffic for an hour or two. Stopped at Dog Run rest area. Got to UCSD at around 12:30pm after driving around La Jolla trying to find UCSD for like 30 minutes. Spent the next 30 minutes trying to find my stupid college. Got there half an hour early for checkin so waited for the checkin place to open. I was second in line for my keys! Got into my apartment, which looked a lot like Edward’s house. Unpacked and put everything to where they belong. Met my roommate when he moved in. He’s a South Korean transfer student called Hoyong Lee. Called up Angela and went to her dorm to help her unload and unpack with her sister and Betty. After her dorm, we went to Leona’s car and drove to Betty’s dorm to help her unload and unpack. Rearranged her room to the way Betty liked it since she was the first one there, then went to Walmart. THEY bought a crapload of stuff, but I only bought a couple. Drove back to drop off the stuff, then went to set up Angela and Betty’s computers. Went to Betty’s dorm to fix her bed sheets, then went back to my apartment to sleep. One hour of sleep = headache for two hours.

Day 2: I slept for 6 hours. That didn’t make up for the one hour I slept the previous night. Woke up at 7 for orientation. I didn’t even know why I woke up until I realized my alarm went off. Went to Peterson Hall with my roommate to eat breakfast. Lecture. Broke up into orientation group. Fast forward until 5pm. Done with orientation. Went to Betty’s dorm to meet up Betty and Vinson Chen. Messed with her webcam, then went to Price Center so I can eat Subway. I was starving like crazy! Met Seward, Angela, and their Lowell friends there. They didn’t know PC closes at 7pm, so they decided to go to Allen’s dorm to eat instant noodles. Chilled there for a bit, then went to TMAC to take advantage of the game room. Played charades until they kicked us out. Hung out at the corner (just like old times) for a while. Everyone decided to go back to their dorms to rest. Walked Betty to her dorm. Hung out watching Youtube videos for two and a half hours. Haha. Time sure flies. Walked back to my dorm at 2AM. Here I am now!

I didn’t know I’d feel so crappy the first two days. No one knows me. I don’t know them. I don’t want to act all desperate looking for friends, so I just hang with my old ones. I’m sure I’ll make new friends. Haha. I also miss the people and the environment back home. Gosh, I thought that it wouldn’t happen to me when I go to college. I guess it was inevitable. Okay. Gotta go! Webcamming with Angela and Betty.

Last Last Supper

Yesterday, I had my “Last Supper” with “the group”. Today, I guess, was the “Last Last Supper”. It wasn’t much. All we did was go to “Kam Po”, our new cheap restaurant, to eat a regular dinner.  It was just hanging out and spending time with what was left of the group before the rest of the UC students left. Giving the last few hugs, (Annie! You hugging freak! Three goodbye hugs!?) I felt really bad. It felt like I left already and I’m missing them. I drank my last can of coke and ate my last bag of hot cheetos. I didn’t say goodbye to my Jean Parker kids because I was only their leader for a bit more than two weeks. I only said goodbye to my new favorite kid, Samanatha. I ate my last plate of chinese food before I left for a place where chinese food might be rare. Cha Seew Rice! After the supper and the hugs, I barted home for a family dinner. I got there just in time to be able to eat dinner with just my mom. (My brothers and dad just finished eating) After a speedy dinner, My brother, his girlfriend, and I went to Gordon’s house to play Mah Jong, hang out, and watch Shutter with the rest of the church college group. I missed hanging out with them. I’ll miss everyone.

See ya, San Francisco. It’s been great running around your streets.

Countdown

I’m counting down to the time that I leave for UCSD. Ever since I got accepted to UCSD, I’ve been counting down the days until I go to college. Who wouldn’t want to leave a fun-exhausted city, where parents try to control your every move, for a new city filled with new experiences and freedom? For some reason, all that’s changed. I don’t want to leave here anymore. People that I thought I wouldn’t miss because I’ve been with them too long are now on my potential miss list. I feel pretty bummed out that today was my last night hanging out with everyone. Today was also my last day walking in Chinatown to the bart station at night. It feels like I haven’t done everything yet before I go.

I still havent played basketball with Lisa yet. I still owe her a basketball game. I still have to a reunion with Dennis. I haven’t gotten to having serious talks with Linda for a long time. There’s a lot more, but that would make this blog entry too long. Maybe I’ll get to them with you guys during holiday breaks.

For the people that I hang with, I’ll be missing you guys. Have fun in UCD, UCSC, Lowell/Gal (There you go, Sabrina) and even city.

I think everyone is in this picture.

Chris B. – Flying Solo & Erased

Haven’t posted music for awhile. I’m pretty sure whoever is reading this has these songs, but just in case, here you go!

Chris Brown – Flying Solo

Chris Brown – Erased

Since I’m posting already, I might as well write something. This past week was pretty annoying. I had to work at Jean Parker and look after, tutor, and teach kids. I don’t mind doing those things, but with bad kids, it kinda sucks the fun out of it. I’m not supposed to be yelling or talking too much with stitches in my mouth, but I have to in order to get the kids’ attention. I always look forward to work ending. I’m always starving. Angela and I would go eat, then go somewhere to meet everyone else to hang out. In short, 2-6PM = sucks.

Worked Out Like Boflex

Well, I haven’t updated in a while since Daycamp started. Daycamp has been taking a large part of my summer time. I kinda expected. I have to plan for a whole week, then during the week, I actually have to prepare for it. It takes so long to prepare! I usually wake up a bit before 7 to get ready and get driven out to Chinatown. I get there usually around 8, then go to inside church to prepare for the day. I do whatever I planned until 3, the time when they go home. After 3, I have to either clean the bathroom, clean the whole social hall, or clean all the table/chairs. After the janitorial work, I meet with the rest of the head leaders and leaders until around 4. After the meeting, I would jet out to Beacon, which is right across the street. Taking care of middle schoolers for the whole day makes me wanna try to interact with some younger kids. I usually play with elementary school kids at Beacon until around 5:30-6 when they all leave. After Beacon, everyone would hang and do whatever. These days, I would come home at around 11-11:30. Eat, chat, plan, until around 12:30. Sleep at around 1-2. Wake up five hours later. I get so sleepy during the day that it just kills me. On top of that, I sometimes have basketball. Kill me now!
