Wow....it's like 3AM right now and I'm still trying to perfect my blog. I hope this works so I can go to bed and wake up tomorrow for Java.

OH HELL YEAH!!! IT ALL WORKS! Damn now I gotta go to bed U_U...zzZZ

I'm in Java discussion right now with Xai and Levong. Xai just showed me how to do the next assignment..yay! Levong has been working on his website the whole time in class...hehe. Levong's site : here

I saw Reign of Fire tonight with Danny. Not bad of a movie, a lot better than what I had expected. For those of you who haven't heard about it...it's that one movie about how dragons took over the world in 2010 and humans fought back when they were almost extinct. After that we went bowling at Midway, met up with John, Pat, Jaime and Wendy. Pretty fun...but I still can't wait for tomorrow! Woohoo! If we get there in time we'll make it for the pigroast! Here's today's word of the day: fin de siecle (fahn duh sie-kluh) adjective, also fin-de-siecle Defn: Of or pertaining to the end of the nineteenth century, and its climate of sophisticated world-weariness, self-doubt, etc. Poem for today: Toast to Life by Rebecca Ashley Makeup, malls and our high school halls Prom Dates, Boyfriends and College balls Music, computers, classes and lipstick breaks you waited Times at our lockers, the boyfriends we hated 9th grade, 10th, 11th and senior year The night at graduation when we drank the beer College, jobs, marriages and vacations The feeling of sadness, the feeling of elation 5 years, 10 years, 15 and more You've been there for me, but never kept score My dear friend, so pretty and so smart I have always admired you from the very start So here's to 20, 30, 40, 50 or more years That we'll be lifting up our glass and toasting cheers.

At PC Palace right now waiting to pick up Jimmy and John for the Dragon Boat Race. Link:PC Palace

Hey guys! Red Wing was awesome! First off I'd like to say that Red Wing is a great town with lots of friendly people...and the girls are hot (according to Mike L). I bet you're all wondering where the pictures are..well sorry but I forgot to bring my digital camera. Dragon Boat Race Well here's how the dragon boat race went. Our first time trial, our team finished the 100m race with 1min and 56sec. It was an embarassment. Our second time trial, I sat out and observed our team crawl to the finish with 1min and 53sec. It was sad because it was the first time that I got to see how uncoordinated we were, we might as have been using spoons instead. After our disgraceful row, a guy named Scott came to our rescue. This angel Scott, who came out of no where, with 6 years of international dragon boat racing experienced volunteered to teach us how to row and become our sternsman. Scott is the shit, he took lead and coached us, it was effective. Then we took a 3rd time trial because of some hyper chinese mom who made us...she was annoying as hell (more on her later). Anyways we got like 1:46 or something on this time trial which qualified us in the DragonButt competition (7 slowest teams). Hyper mom "GO GO PURPLE!!!!"...."GO GO PURPLE!!!!"...."GO GO PURPLE!!!!"...."GOOO CHINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSEEE!!!!!!!!" That phrase and some other unbelievably stupid chants were heard repeatedly from the hyper mom screaming at the top of her throat with a heavy Chinese accent for the rest of the day....and she was the ONLY one yelling that out. I pretended not to know her. Back to Dragon Boat Race So here we are, bracketed against the fastest team in the DragonButt tournament. Everyone was a little intimidated and unsure of themselves...but with Scott's help..."REACH! EXPLODE!"....we had faith. The horn blew and the race was off! About 3/4 of the way I thought I was gonna die, I was exhausted but we were keeping up with the other team...that only made us more motivated and transformed us into blood-thirsty dragon boat racers. When we reached the flag, so did our opponent. We weren't sure who won but well sat in our boats waiting anxiously for the results. It turns out that we beat them by 0.01 sec! Yes our time was 1:40:83 and we beat our opponents...it was unbelievable. I would've cheered more but the sight of Hyper mom jumping and yelling made me want to hurl. But that's only the beginning. Our team got out of boats, we were congratulated by everyone because no one thought we could beat them. 5 mins later we were back in and were facing the Tazmanian Devils. The Taz Devils were a rowdy bunch who had chants such as "ICE, COLD, BEER!" Anywho, when the horn sounded, we took like mad dogs with rabies. We captured this win with an even better time of 1:36! Truly amazing, by this time, our entire team felt even more invincible. When we docked, we didn't have time to get out and rest, our race was in 2 mins. Hyper mom and some other supporters helped us by pouring us some water to drink. The Final Race... This was it....Scott wanted us to give it all....we didn't want nothing left over after this race. Everyone was excited, but we know that we were at a disadvantage with less energy and being on the outer track made us vulnerable to winds. Anyways, we gripped out paddles and dug in when the horn sounded. Our opponents got off to a better start than we did. But we soon caught up and took about a 3 feet lead. But 3/4th of the way there, I felt a loss in the thrust of our boat. Our rowers were getting tired and I kept hitting the paddle of the person infront of me because he was too tired to keep up with the pace. In the last 15 feet, the other team caught up to us. And in the end, we timed in at 1:38, losing by just 1 second to the other team. This was no loss to the U of M Chinese Students because we had not had such a good record for at least 5 years! After the event, our team went to Treasure Island Casino to get some food. Jimmy, John, Jaime, Mike and I went for the buffet...I was delicious. So now I'm back here with bruises to the side of my knees and a sore right ass for rotating on it too much. This event as a whole was awesome! But 2 things I'd like to see for next year: 1) Hyper mom with a flat tire so she can't get to Red Wing and embarass the shit out of us. 2) Some more of you strong Asian rowers! I think next year our team will have a great chance of capturing the title for the DragonButt races or even qualifying for the DragonFly races!

Two mini test sites set up. Please have a look at them and let me know what you think. Thanks! ^_^ Site #1: Online Photo Album/Rating System Site #2: Central Community Site

MOVIE: Signs I saw Signs today with Steve Vang at the Regal in Brooklyn Park. Let me tell ya, this movie scared the shit out of me. Not that it scared me with horrifying scenes or anything, but it's a suspenseful type of scare that keeps you guessing what's coming next. Mel Gibson played a great role as a priest who lost his faith after a tragic accident involving his wife. I think this whole movie is basically about "signs" of a higher power and belief in that things are meant to happen, things don't just happen always due to chance. Anyways, enough of me analyzing this movie, you should definately go watch it for yourself. Being an extraterrestrial enthusiast such as myself, I give this movie 4 stars. Anything else today? Not really, finished the last Java assignment woohoo! That reminds me, I better start studying for that final on Wednesday, wish me luck cuz I suck at test taking.

Late for class I'm waiting by the vending machines right now for my java class to take its first break so I can sneak in noticed. My dad made 1 attempt at waking me up this morning then shut off my alarm and left. What is that?! Who does that? Especially someone who sleeps as deep as me. The class should be taking their break in about 5 mins...

JAVA: Mission Complete! Woohoo! I'm done with Csci 1902! I took the final today and I KNOW I passed...hehe. Feels good to be done with this class, but now I'm starting to miss it. Sounds kind of crazy I know, but when you spend so much time trying to get something to work and you actually see results, it's almost as exciting as catching a fish. So I bet you're all wondering how my lifting program is working... Well before I started, which was July 22nd I think, I weighed in at 160lb. Now it's August 7th and I weigh 173lb! I'm not sure if pound for pound is accurate because I might've have some extras in my bladder or something...you know. But I know one thing for sure, the weights I've been lifting have gone up a lot more. Before on the barbell shoulder press my max was 115lbs and now it is 135lbs. Also on the dumbell pullovers I've gone from 65lbs to 90lbs, incredible! You must be bored now if you're still reading..hehe. Dragon Boat Race UPDATE! Yes! I have 4 pictures from the event! And in one of them....guess who I saw?! HYPER FOB MOM! "GO GO PURPLE!" It's not bad of a picture, but you can only see like the upper half of her face so you can't really see her insane hyper smile. But you will be able to see her eyes as two thin lines and from that you should be able to tell how excited this woman is. Eeeesh! When I look at that picture, it just brings back the chills down my spine....Click on "PHOTOS" to your right for the Dragon Boat Race photos. Weekend Outlook This Friday I'm supposed to go to Valley Fair with some friends that went to China with me. However, one of them dropped out and the other one I haven't heard from for like a week. Sooo.....I don't know if that's still happening...I'd like to go too. Saturday ==> IMPORTANT! Picnic on a beach on St. Croix River. We're gonna be getting in my boat and I'm taking everyone to a small secluded island on St. Croix River. I think we're gonna have some White Castle sandwhiches and other snacks and beverages. Hopefully the weather will be nice and it will be a perfect picnic. But we're in Minnesotah so the weather is kind of an unpredictable bitch. One day it will be loyal and warm your heart and another it'll be the biggest bitch and ruin all your plans! So who's coming to the picnic??? I think I would have a better idea if people knew where the "Reply" button is so they can click on it, or maybe they're lazy and it's still sitting in their inbox. ~_~ Anyways I'm planning on leaving from my house at 11:30 AM and if you don't arrive here by that time, you're gonna have to drive to the loading dock by yourself. Hope to see everyone there. Geez I write my blogs as if people actually read this....LOL.

Ugh.....eyes....tired.... I've been working on that dance posse site since 5pm today. Damn I'm a loser. Perfect weather and I didn't even go outside. I sure hope people use that site to keep in touch with each other. Or else all that damn hard work was worthless. Here it is again: http://www.thedanceposse.com Doh! I gotta work at the restaurant tomorrow, call me peoples so I don't get bored or somethin.

Weather please be good... It says we're supposed to have Scattered T-Storms on Saturday, that's the day of the picnic at the beach! Damnit. Supposed to be nice tomorrow, Valley Fair weather I think, but I can't find very many people to go. This is sucking... And I gotta go to work in like 30 mins...

Directions to my house! From the University... Take 94 East and go for a while. Exit on CR19, it is right after 13. Take a right at the stop light. Keep going down until you see Eagle Valley Dr. Take a left onto Eagle Valley Dr. Drive for about 1 mile and look for 2832 on your right.

Midway Bowling Just got back from another night of Thursday bowling at Midway. Lot's of fun, the people that went were Danny, Aries, Chuck, Jenny, Will, Julie, Amy and me. It was a surprise to see Julie there, she's still adjusting from her year long trip in China. Well after bowling we all went to Pekins, just like the good old days...hehe. Oh yeah, Friday night I think we're gonna go see Signs because a lot of people haven't seen it yet. I've seen it but I'll definately see it again! Well I better get to bed cuz I gotta wake up early for Valley Fair tomorrow, remind me to bring my digital camera!!!! Directions to the boat launch Here are the directions for the people who are going directly to the boat launch for Saturday's picnic. Remember, please try to get to the launch by 12PM. From the University... Take 94 East and go for a while. Exit on CR19, it is right after 13. Take a right at the stop light. Keep going down until you see Bailey, take a left onto Bailey. Follow Bailey all the way until you reach the end and you will hit St. Croix Trail. Take a right onto St. Croix Trail and then take an immediate left onto the next road. Now you're at the boat launch, hope to see you all there!"

Weekend Update I had a great weekend, I don't think I've had this many activities for a while. I'm feeling sore too, I don't know why. Friday: Valley Fair We went to Valley Fair the whole day. It was Jaime, Aries, Steve, Lisa and me. Weather was nice, but got a little couldy later when we decided to go to the water park, I think the only person that was really affected by the temp was Aries, he needs more body fat or something. We went on almost every ride, I got to go on the Power Tower drop for the first time, it was awesome! Oh yeah, Jaime and I played Pump it Up twice and drew some crowds and dropped jaws. After VF After Valley Fair, I saw Signs again with Steve, Lisa, Jaime, Will, Chee, Xai, and Levong. It was funny cuz this time Steve and I knew when the scarry parts will be coming. We turned around to look at Chee, Levong and Xai and got to see them jump out of their seats during those scenes...lol. After the movie me and the guys went to Perkins and celebrated Steve's birthday. Steve also gave Chee the Spongebob that he won at VF for his bday...lol. Saturday: St. Croix River Picnic The picnic was a success! I think everyone had a good time. We had like 20 people show up, it was a lot of people and almost everyone got to try some water sports. You know how I said be by my house by 11:30? Well we operated on Asian time again and didn't get to leave till around 1:30. I hope next time we'll have a better awareness of time. I think a few people on the trip might have a sore ass right now, especially the people who sat in the front of the boat when I drove it over those big waves. After the picnic After the picnic, most of us went to Julie's welcome home/birthday party. It was cool to see everyone there, it felt like the good old days when we used to party at her house and eat good food her parents made. I stayed pretty late till around 2AM with the kareoke group to do some singing and give some people rides in my car. Anyways I got some pictures from the trip and I know other people have them too. I will be posting them up probably within a few days. As for today, I'm gonna be cleaning, washing the car and cleaning the boat. Maybe go to Sam's Club with my mom, she loves Sams.

New photos! Wow I've done nothing but index these new pictures since I woke up at noon. Go to the photos section to check them, I hope you guys enjoy them.

B.U.M. Ever have one of those lazy-ass days where you sit around the house all day in your underwear and do practically nothing? I just did. I was woken up by a phone call at 11AM. -_- But then I lied around for about another 2 hours. Then while still in my underwear I came downstairs to index the weekend photos, boy that was fun. Given that I was supposed to mow the lawn and wash the boat at 11AM, I was no where ahead by this time. When my mom came home in the afternoon I proceeded to be a bum and only delay my chores. FINALLY, after much of "Get off your fat ass and go wash the boat before you dad comes home," I finally got off my fat ass to go wash the boat. Boy let me tell ya, the boat was dirty. After yesterday's trip to the beach with about 20 people, our boat had a lot of sand everywhere and needed a thorough cleaning. Cleaning it was pretty fun, getting started it not. After I spent about an hour cleaning that boat I went straight to lawn mowing. Took me about 1.5 hours to mow the lawn tonight, about average. But with 7 mosquito bites, I am praying tonight that I don't get that wicked West Nile Virus. Well my chores are done, and it's 9PM, now it's time to eat dinner.

MOVIE: XXX No I didn't see a porn movie, I saw that tripple x movie. Vin Diesel..what a big piece of man. XXX was a pretty good action movie, has lots of amazing stunts that only happens in Hollywood but who cares? It was good. I even caught one of the bad guys using a P90 which is a sub-machine gun that's used in Counter-Strike....hehe. Yes I saw the movie with Steve and Lisa. Poor Lisa thought we were gonna see the movie at the Carmike in Mounds View. She had to drive all the way over here to watch it with us. I felt bad for misleading her so I got her a ticket for the show. What else did I do today? Hmmm....went to the school to buy books but I ended up just buying a large bubble tea from WJ's. The flavor was Taro and I've got to say, it's the best I've had so far. Notable link: The Ultimate Filipino Webpage by ludakrisjonson. Check it out, this shit is whacked.

Yesterday Yesterday I was supposed to work at my parents' restaurant but we were so slow that I got off work at 7. Later Jaime and I decided to meet up at the Fuddruckers in Edina. We got a 1 pound burger and a malt to share. It was huge! The burger was good, except it wasn't medium like the way we wanted it. Afterwards we went for a long walk around Centennial Lakes Park. I think most of the time we sat in one of those outdoor wooden swing benches. Around 11 we decided to pay my friend Kenneth a visit since he lives in Edina. Kenneth is lookin' all Japanese now with his dyed hair...I can't get used to it. Anyways, his puppy is real cute and tried to hump Jaime's leg many times. Well I gott work again today, but there's good news. Arash finally got the apartment for us and so now I'm 99% sure I'll be living in University Village for next year!

Today is Wednesday? Woah today is Wednesday?!?! No wonder my parents and their friends went to Mystic Lake! Damn they went for the seafood buffet and stuck me at the restaurant! Yeah I just got home from working at our restaurant, not a very busy day but not too slow either. Tomorrow I'll be there the whole day so if anyone wants to stop by and say hi I'll hook them up with some food...hehe. I cancelled my housing contract with the U. You know what that means....I'm going to be living in UV for sure now! I don't know about living in a place with 3 other people though, I've never done that before. And plus now I'm living right above PC Palace...that sucks cuz I can't play computer games anymore. I hope I can survive next year and go well in school...maybe I can play computer games again in the future.

Good morning Well it's the start of a new day and I've gotta be at the restaurant the whole day. Wow I woke up at 9:30 which is a lot earlier than I'm used to. Damnit I haven't worked out for a week now!!! I can feel my muscles going soft again, doh!!! So what exciting activities did my parents run off to do while putting me at the restaurant? They went fishing, right now they're fishing in Lake Minnetonka I bet. Hope they're having fun. Last night I watched Orange County...it was a comedy about Sean, a boy growing up in Orange County who desparately wanted to get into Stanford but events keep preventing him. The movie was great and the guy who played Lance, the main character's loser of a brother is Jack Black, the same guy who played Hall in Shallow Hall. And oh yeah, the girl who played Sean's girlfriend is HOT. I bet MLinzbach would want a piece of her...I think she's a red head too.

Long day at Peking Way Wow I just finished a 10 hour shift at the restaurant...it's a lot harder than you think. Makes me realize how crappy it is when my parents are there all day for more than a day...that would suck. We were fairly busy today too, people kept coming, it's like they weren't wearing a watch or something. People actually came in at 3:30 in the afternoon to eat lunch! What the hell? Who eats lunch at that time?! Even I don't eat lunch at that time and I work at the restaurant. Anyways, I made a bigass takeout order today as we were about to close. 15 mins before we closed, I got a phone call from someone who said they had a big order. They order a bunch of food and it came out to be like $129.27. I was a little suspicious because I didn't want to receive any phony calls where I make all that food and they don't come pick it up. I made sure they knew our address and I even offered them driving directions. 15 mins later a bunch of girls came to pick up the order. Turns out that they're from Chicago and they're staying at a nearby hotel for tomorrow softball games. It was a good rack in, even made $10 in tips from that one order. My parents always say that I generate a lot of takeout orders whenever I work there, I guess it's true considering one day my mom didn't have 1 single takeout... Sports bikes You know how I wanted to get a sports bike last summer and didn't? Well my friends Arash and Justin beat me to it, they both just got sports bikes. Arash got a Yamaha and Justin got a Suzuki. I hope they don't go and hurt themselves, they've never rode bikes before and neither of them are have liscenses. Well since they both got bikes, that means it's time for me to get mine too...hehe. But it's a little late to get a bike now since this summer is almost over, I should just wait till next summer. Tomorrow I get the day off, but I gotta drive Gordon's dad to Edina so he can play mah-jong with some relatives. That means I'll be hanging around the Edina area for a few hours and getting together with my Mimi.

The whole day off Yay I got the whole day off today! I dropped off Gordon's dad in Edina so he can play mah-jong. Then I met up with Jaime at Southdale, it was pretty nice. I bought her that Pink spray on lotion, she likes that smell...I do too. hehe Then the rest of the day Kenneth and I went to Mall of America where I convinced him to try playing Pump it Up, it was cool, he actually did try! Then I also got him hooked on cheese curds...hehe. We just finished beating Guardian Heros on the Sega Saturn. It's an import title, but it's awesome. Too bad the Saturn games that came out in the US weren't as good as the ones in Japan. Tomorrow, another day at Peking Way, yay! Maybe I'll bring my digital camera and take some pictures at work! And then I can post it on the Peking Way website! Woohoo!

Boobies Today at work, there was a weird boobie incident... I sold some food to this one lady...and then she reached under her shirt and grabbed out a wad of cash from her boobies. It was wrong, the cash was all squished together and it was warm when I handled it...very wrong. She wasn't hot either, she was like fat, that made it even more wrong. Then later in the day while I was at work, I realized that my own boobies have gotten smaller. This is also a very wrong and disturbing matter. It's sad, I think it's mainly due to the reason that I haven't worked out in like over a week. Damnit, I'm not even motivated, I come home from work and I'm already tired, I just want to sit on my ass doing brainless things like write someone here into my blog. Today was a slow day at work, I got so bored that I made my own little hacky sack. It was pretty cool, I accidently discovered it when I used up all the plastic bags and the head of all the bags scrunched together was left over. I unravelled it and it was great for kicking it up and floating back down. Them dogs So today at Jaime's work, a little terrier got loose. She said they had the dog cornered with like 10 people trying to catch it but the damn thing pulled a Terrell Davis on them and ran away to score a touchdown. It's late now and there's no possible way of catching that little speed demon while it's this dark. Poor Jaime is sleeping over at the clinic incase that little beast comes back...I hope that little Terrell Davis dog is tackled by the dog police and brought back in the morning.

Bacteria Alert Jaime has been having this sore throat for the past week. I had the day off today and got the chance to go see her cuz she had the day off too. Her throat is pretty bad looking, it's got a bunch of white stuff in the back on her tongsols. It's hurting her so much that she can't even swallow her own spit. =( So I took her to the doctors, the doctors says it's not strep throat and it's not mono, it's some bacterial infection they think. Well I hope Jaime feels better tomorrow, her anti-biotics should be helping...but they do have a diahrea side-affect. boooo! Learn a word! oxter (OK-stuhr). noun The armpit. Tomorrow Hmmm....I don't know. I want to bring some stuff for Jaime to help fight those nasty little bacterium but she's gonna be busy all day. So...to be continued...

Flash Animations I added some flash cartoons. Check them out, they're about eggs. I Love Egg - episode 0 I Love Egg - episode 1 I Love Egg - episode 2 I Love Egg - episode 3

There's a place for fun in your life... Mall of America! Yep, I went there again today. Yes yes I know, I just went there on Saturday with Kenneth. And I know, I'm a bad boyfriend for not seeing Jaime today. But I couldn't get ahold of her and she slept until she had to go to work. =( She should've taken the day off. That's ok, I'm gonna see her tomorrow and bring her some soup to calm her fire. So yeah, the mall was pretty cool today. I went because Pat called me at 12 while I was still sleeping and told me to go there and play Pump cuz he's already there. So I said ok. Well by the time I got dressed, picked up Will and arrived at the mall, it was already 2 and Pat had left, doh! But that's ok, Will and I walked around the mall like 3 times just for fun, I think we went into like 1 store. But he did get 2 shirts at Aeropostal. Well anyways, Danny comes and meets up with us at like 4 and he said he was getting a new wardrobe. He said "what do you think? I need some forest-green shirts." I was like "hell no man, you need something to make you look more clean cut." So from that point on, I became his personal fashion assistant. Yes, we had fun, I gave him a new look. From head to toe, well we still need to shave his head, but that's another day. Today, Danny bought 13 items at the mall! 2 of them were shoes, he got his first pair of leather boots in a long ass time. I was getting sick of seeing him wear those worn-down Newbalance sneakers so I decided to fit him up with a pair of Timberland shoes, they're nice. We also made stops at Old Navy, Gap, and Express for Men. He said "hook me up" and the rest was history. Danny is a new man now, if you see him on the streets, you'll be stunned by his new look, I hope. What's Mall of America without Pump it Up? Yes as you may have guessed, I played Pump. I just can't help it. I first played it when I was waiting for Danny. I tried to play double, it's where you play on both sides. It was pretty hard and I barely passed Funky Tonight. Then I failed on a second song. I'm just not used to it, I felt like I had to do splits on some of the moves. I later played Pump again 10 mins before our movie. This time, I played with a guy because I didn't want to play alone. It was cool because I did good and a bunch of people were behind us watching. Yes, it was really cool. But that Korean kid with the blonde hair was there waiting his turn after me (Yes I know you fear him Pat). I was just glad that I got to go before the blonde hair kid instead of after, he's supposed to be really good. Maybe I'll get as good as him someday and make people like Pat fear my crazy legs. Movie: Blood Work Yes! A murder mystery with Clint Eastwood! I bet most of you haven't heard about this movie and thinks that it sucks. Well I saw it tonight with Will and Danny at Mall of America. The movie was pretty good actually, it had a good plot and like all murder mysteries, very interesting and mysterious. But in the middle of the movie, I guessed who the killer was....and I was right. Yeah for me! I got some FBI skills. What's the movie about? Oh yeah, the movie is about a retired FBI investigator who had a heart transplant. He finds out that the heart he received was from a young woman who was murdered. So the murdered woman's sister asks Eastwood to try and find the killer and so he goes and does that. Interesting huh? Only part in the movie that I didn't like was that Clint Eastwood sleeps with the murdered woman's sister. That's kind of weird cuz the woman had sex with a man who had her sister's heart...? I donno...just kinda weird. Plus there was a like a 7 year old boy in the other room! Do you think Eastwood needs Viagra? I think he used it but Danny doesn't think so. Tomorrow It's gonna be Wednesday, you know what that means....SEAFOOD NIGHT at Mystic!!! Yeah tomorrow I'm gonna go see Jaime, shop at COSTCO, visit Mary's party hopefully and then hit Mystic with Danny boy, anyone want to join us in the attack on the sea? Damn I'm too full to think about that right now cuz I just got back from eating late-night with Danny and Will at Village Wok. It was pretty good, we had beef brisket hot pot, hollow vegetables and bitter melon with beef in black bean sauce. Always that black bean sauce. Yeah yeah yeah, I wrote a lot tonight. But the reason is because I know that people are reading this, they're actually reading this! Can you believe that?! So since they read this, that must mean they're really bored. So I thought I'd just elaborate on my day for them, let them have more to read, to keep them entertained. You know what they ought to do is go to www.thedanceposse.com and register, then chat on there with other people! Yeah the reason I know that they read is because Will and Danny both know that I've seen XXX and that Jaime has a throat infection...yay I have fans!

Word of the day Almost forgot, but here it is. Get to know your words! pollex (POL-eks) noun, plural pollices The thumb.

Busy day Wow what a day...I did so much stuff. Got up at like 11 and went to Jaime's house with 2 big tubs of soup to fight her fire. hehe After spending some time at the Chou's house, I met up with my mom and Danny at COSTCO. And guess what? Danny bought another shirt. Then after some shopping, the 3 of us headed to Mystic Lake for their seafood night. It was a weird night there, I didn't ravage the buffet. Usually I go to Mystic and I'm so hungry, hungry beyond the point of starvation. But today I get there and I'm like "I'm not hungry." It sucked because I ate slow and didn't pig out on the seafood. Instead, I would eat a plate, sit back and watch other people eat. In the end I felt neither stuffed nor hungry, it was dissapointing. Usually I go in there starving and come out ready to explode, but I guess it's a bad buffet day for me. The same thing happened to Danny. We played some black jack afterwards, I quickly saw Danny lose $20. Then my mom played the slots and I think she won some money at the end when we were trying to leave. You know, they always start winning at the end when it's time to leave. I already got my car, and she was still in there, the machine just didn't want to let her go. Last night's nightmare Last night I had this Lord of the Rings-like dream...it was scarry as hell. There was this huge world war with 7 other countries and mine was one of them. Anyways to make a long story short, I tried to cut a guy's head off to finish him quick but I just barely kill him. First try only severs half of his neck, second strike cuts off his chin, and then finally I kill the poor bastard. What a nightmare! Camping Yes I will be gone and up in the Boundry Waters starting from tomorrow till Monday. It's gonna be a hell of a fun time up there fishing and all. I promise to not forget to bring my digital camera this time. In fact, I have it right in front of me right now. Oh yeah, Will is coming with us too, so we're gonna have a blast! But I'm gonna miss my Jaime, I hope she recovers by the time I get back. Well have a good weekend everyone!

Update Wow long time no post. Sorry guys but I've been pretty busy lately right after I got back from my camping trip. When I got back from my camping trip, I found out that my grandpa in China had past away. It was too bad my dad didn't get to see him, he was supposed to to but we didn't expect my grandpa to leave so suddenly. I'm just glad that I got to see him this summer and spend some time with him. He was a great guy, knew a lot of and been through a lot but never seemed to talk about it. I always picked on him too, just to make him feel younger. Well my dad is on his way to Xiamen now for the funeral, I wish I could go but school starts in about a week. Yesterday Yesterday was all good. Jaime came over to my house and I made dinner. She hadn't been over to my place in a long time so we had a good time just relaxing and being in each other's company. I made some T-Bone steaks and they were awesome, I'm thinking about cooking again tonight. BWCA Camping Trip As you all know, I went camping for a few days up in the Boundry Waters. My camping trip this year was a hard one. First off we were scheduled on a wrong day so we didn't get to go to Big Moose Lake. Instead our group was assigned to Angleworm. The people told us it was a long portage trail, about 2 miles. We didn't think 2 miles wasn't that bad. Damn 2 miles at Angleworm is bad. Our group had a lot of packs because they always like to bring a lot of food in and eat really good meals, well that took a toll on our backs. The trail at Angleworm is all narrow and bumpy, there are a lot of inclines, declines, muddy and rocky areas. It felt like being on a Stairmaster that generates randomly shaped stairs. On top of that, we had 4 aluminum canoes weighing at 85lbs each to bring in. Carrying those canoes on your back and walking 2 mile on that trail was the hardest and toughest camping experience I went through. Oh did I mention that Will went with me? Yes he did, and I worked him pretty hard. I think he came out more of a man from this camping trip. When we got to Angleworm, it was beautiful. We were totally separated from civilization. It was so quite out there that you can hear the silence. At night the stars were so bright you could see the milkyway and orbiting satellites, not to mention even the shooting stars. The fishing however, sucked. Compared to Big Moose Lake, the fishing on Angleworm was tough. Our group of 8 barely caught enough fish to eat. I myself didn't catch anything bigger than 3 inches...it was sad. Despite the hard work and the lack of big fish, my camping trip was still awesome! I'm definately going back next year, but to Big Moose Lake, not to Angleworm ever again...hehe. I encourage you guys to visit the Boundry Waters at least once in your lifetime. New pics BWCA

New Cartoons I just posted new flash cartoons in the Cool Stuff section. Go check them out.

Shake that ass bitch and let me see what you got... Thursday night we went to the Quest. Yes, the last Thursday before school starts. It was a lot of fun, Danny, Steve and I got there at around 12. Jaime and some of her friends were there too. This time not everyone went, but we got a pretty good dancing group. I brought my LED necklaces there and almost everyone in our group had one, it was pretty cool. Moving to UV Today Steve and I moved our bed and our study table into our apartment. We couldn't assemble them yet because our room was locked by the cleaning people, that sucked. But that's ok cuz Sunday we're all gonna move in and do massive cleaning. China Photos Hey I'm almost done with them. I've got the barebone version up right now. If you people want to see a collection of photos from China, check out these links. - May - June Tomorrow? What am I supposed to do tomorrow? Oh yeah, get ready for school! Damn I'm gonna have to sit here and think of what I need to buy and shit. Doh. Well maybe I'll finish up on the China photos too cuz I don't have much time before school starts and I have to leave my computer. Oh have you guys seen that music video from Dirty Vegas for their song called "Days Go By"? It's a pretty cool video, my new favorite music video excluding any SES videos...hehe.
