On Saturday, a handful of us decided to check out the Obon Festival in SD. I've never been to one before, and I figured it'd be exciting. I imagined it would've been like those crazy festivals you see in anime, with lots of people, lights, vendors, and food. Obon was nothing like that hahaha. It's supposed to be a Buddhist tradition to honor the deceased.It was a lot smaller than I imagined (it

I can't believe it's only been a week since I first started working at AQUAholics Anonymous. I still can't believe how fast I managed to score this internship. They interviewed me on the 10th, and then they called me back 3 hours later asking if I could come in for training the following Tuesday. Ever since, I've been working hard to build water conservation projects with the other intern and

I went to LA this weekend to hang out with Peter and Drew. It was kinda weird at certain times when they had family stuff to do, and I kinda just interjected myself into their lives at home. But it was a fun weekend haha Lots of moving back and forth between Peter's and Drew's.Drew and I went to a service project Saturday morning with Temple City Kiwanis, setting up for their annual BBQ

Every year, I've always dreaded the 4th of July weekend. For the past 6-7 years, I've spent that weekend in Seattle for the annual Tao summer youth retreat. I hate thinking about going because I'm always forced to go. But somehow, by the time I get out, I always feel like I've gained something valuable.This year was no exception.Among the jargon-filled lectures over the 2-day period, I've found a

Getting stuff for Dad is always harder than getting stuff for Mom. It's even harder now that he doesn't need any more dress shirts or neck ties. haha But I got lucky! I was walking through Borders earlier this week, and I saw the astronaut pen. I was super excited to have found it. It launches when you press the button. Right then and there, I decided that the theme would be "You're Out of this

Coloring Page #1: Color-by-number saber tooth tiger. Proudly colored and signed.My summer so far has included a ridiculous amount of DS and nothing. I found this dinosaur coloring book in my bookcase. I think I'm going to try to color a page a day. Not that it takes a whole day to color a page, but I gotta make sure the book lasts me a while! :D

So, I haven't really hung out or really talked with my lil sibs - Kelly Chinh and Wilson - this year. (Not that I did last year either... :/) But ever since Friday, I've been feeling a little bit better about approaching my sibs. I don't know - I've just either been really busy, or really awkward. I felt like my lils didn't really want to talk to me all year or something. And the fact that I've

I guess I haven't configured LoudTwitter properly for it to update with my tweets :(But for now, I have a dog story to tell you!

I'd like to consider myself a pretty tech savvy guy. I write for this blog after all. But there are just some things I find a bit... questionable. That includes the Kindle. I'm sorry, I just can't take it seriously. It's just... not the real deal. If I see you standing around the corner reading a Kindle, you can expect to receive some mocking looks from me. Sure, the Kindle's got some good things

Twenty-one called for a mega celebration. Thanks to everyone who hung out with me, who wished they could hang out with me, and who showered me with gifts. Incriminating photos on facebook. I have some of the most amazing friends ever. But with mega celebrations come laundry that needs to be done.Yesterday, I threw my laundry into the dryer before I left my apt late afternoon, but I guess the door

Mini flash games are addicting, and game developers well know it. Coupled with catchy hummable tunes and simple but quirky cartoon graphics, you’ve got yourself an irresistible winner. Developed by the same people who brought you WarioWare, Rhythm Heaven for the DS delivers a similar onslaught of minigame craziness. This music-genre game delivers hours and hours of frustrated fun.

I stayed up til 4am last night writing my ESYS paper. I don't know why, but I always take forever writing papers now! Maybe because I actually have to research, and I put that aside until I have to start writing. hahaha But aside from having that due today, I also had a BILD midterm, which I didn't study for until this morning. @ @ I could've done better if I'd studied more, but ah, whatever.

That pretty much sums up my day. hahaI was going to go home after the Shaved Ice Fundraiser, but I had JUST missed my bus. I saw it leave the stop I was going to, and I frowned. My bus only comes once an hour during that time, so I decided to just stay at the library until the GBM dinner @ 6.I changed my wall. It used to be this emo pic of a rain cloud pouring on a guy. It made me laugh! But I

My life's been updated on Twitter though, so I guess that kinda makes up for it :PMy past 2.5 weeks in bullet points and a lack of pictures:Spring Break was way too short.

For some reason, everyone from UCSD decided to fly home today. At the same time. Haha, probably because the prices were cheapest during the noon-time hours. And then some people's flights were delayed. But holy crap, there were so many people we knew at the airport!It's always fun when you sit next to someone who talks to you on the plane. I was planning to read Plan B 3.0 to get started on next

With the end of Winter Quarter Finals, I found that I still have a lot of things on my mind. Maybe this is why it doesn't feel like I'm done with finals?Friendship failures. Recurring theme of my life? Maybe I should just hermit up forever.

Today is the last day of finals for me. I got ready for my death by "dressing up." lolol I have 2 lined up - BIEB 150 and ESYS. I'm so nervous. I just want it to be over! I'm glad 150 (Evolution) comes first. I'm excited/prepared to see what'll be on the final, but I'm scared at the same time. Ah!Then comes ESYS. I don't really give a crap about ESYS. Haha. How sad.

The last lectures of 10th week are always something. There's that sense of relief that the class is finally over, but there's also the sense of sadness that soon you won't be going to lectures to expect the mannerisms that you've gotten used to with your current professors. I'll miss them for sure.But there are really only 2 professors I want to clap for this quarter - 2 out of 6, that is. How

Wow, I'm on a roll with blogging today. Here's the detailed-ish update to my quickie post earlier today. The only thing I really had details for was the haircut I got yesterday.So, I walked over to Great Clips while Peter/Drew/Honyin went grocery shopping at Henry's. I didn't realize that Great Clips was a chain! Like Super Cuts! Oh no. I got a little scared. I didn't have very good experiences

Today had a kind of a How I Met Your Mother moment. I just had a short meeting with ResLife about my tour tomorrow for Scholar's Day, so I was just heading to Library Walk to chill until class. It was such a nice day out. I found Honeylyn, Zenas, and Helen sitting on one of the blocks too! So we all just hung out, gathering more and more people. People came and left. I left to turn in my homework

I got some time to kill before class :) I'll update in detail later, I promise!1. I got a haircut at Great Clips. Yay for short hair.2. I like how a nice jacket can make you look that much better. You can wear the most random shirt, put on a nice jacket, and it'd be better looking. hahaha I'm gonna miss that about wintry weather, as "wintry" as SD gets :)

I made cupcakes today! It was fun. I think they're my first batch ever. And from scratch! And vegan! I bought this book 2 years ago because I was enticed by the decorative status of these cupcakes. I haven't had a chance to try any of the recipes until today :DThe recipe I followed was for Rosewater Pistachio Cupcakes, but I couldn't find any rosewater, so I made Vanilla Pistachio Cupcakes

Ever since Thursday night, the rest of the week has just been an extended weekend. I didn't go to class on Friday, and I even skipped out on Kiwanis Takeover because I just didn't feel like doing anything.But I have some of the bestest friends here in San Diego.

It turned out, plumbing services was here to fix a problem with the spa/pool and the main pipes would be affected - from 9 AM to 1 PM. Yaaaay. No shower. No water.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are my worst days for classes, but I hate Tuesdays the most because I have 1 extra class on Tuesdays than on Thursdays. What's worse is that my 2 most boring classes are back to back - ESYS 102 (Fluid/Solid Earth) and POLI 160AA (Intro to Policy Analysis). And on Tuesdays, I have section for my ESYS class an hour before the lecture!Today, I decided to skip my ESYS lecture.
