sup xanga, long time no write in here ya?

It's been a crazy ass mother fucking senior year full of twists and turns

Bullshit to miss left and right

Friends to back me up too *looks at viet and diana*

but it's been one hell of a ride in that what we call high school

I hate the thought of having to leave crossing my mind everytime I do something with my friends, cause I fear it might be the last time we do it

Yesterday for example, we had a really nice bonfire, My, Denny, Quy, Viet, Gina, Ngoc, Anna, Mike, Yen, Wesley and Ivan...it was great, but I hate thinking it might be last time we do stuff like that, damn graduation around the corner, and I really don't wanna leave, it's too much fun

Ehhh, whatever, prom is coming up, and I am hopping for a good time, graduation should be fun too, walking the stage with my friends, but saying "goodbye" to several more really sucks, I don't wanna say goodbye, I know I don't have to, but in relaity, it's gonna be really hard to hang out with everyone, blah!

There're those few I made the promise to come back and visit, And I will keep that promise fersures! As for me...right now, I am just chillaxing on my spring break, so much has happened, but I don't wanna waste this spring break!

Later days!

....yea

well, here I am, writting in my xanga...only cause diana really wants me too...lol

well, here's what's going down

I'm single again....heartbroken, but a wound that should heal most defiantly

I plan to go ice skating maybe tommorow with tran from San Jose State, she is so cool...lol

Watch hostel next week with diana...and just hang loose now....

For now, I just strum my guitar, and hope for sanity as the days come closer to the end of high school

Hello there It's been like forever since I last really wrote in here, I've had so much stuff happen since the last time I wrote in here...let's go over it all shall we?

Well.I'm sure you guys remeber Lynn right? We broke up...drama grew..and I just really couldn't take it...I just had to cut the cord...I think me and Lynn are still friends...I really don't know...we talk...and sometimes she says she wants to talk...but then she doesn't talk....she just makes me question now...

I graduated from more Junior year and now I'm a senior...I've reached the last year in hig school...at first I was insanly excited...I'd be leaving all the boring teachers...and the arking and everything at school....but then..as the days grew closer to the end to where I'm at now...I've realized...that wasn't all I was leaving here at school...I was leaving my friends..the peopple I grew up with, all the fun times, the love, hates, controversies, memories...everything...It really sucks now...just thinking about it now I almost come to tears because I may go into the military...I'm leaving for a whle after high school...the air force calls for me as a medical engineer, or a doctor...lol...but...how long is it going to be till I see my friends again when I come back, I fear I might change, or they will change...but I will never forget them...I made this slideshow type thing....thinking over a lot of the stuff I've done..but mainly the peope I really love...I just...I can't stand thinking I'm almost gong to leave....but here it is now...life

The slideshow is on myspace....

On another less sad topic, in ROTC I've become the Support Group commander, that makes me a captain...but I could really care less about the rank...I'm now a part of cadre...the top of the ladder...but...for me...I personally don't consider myself cadre...I mean..I have the rank and job...but I don't like to call myself a part of cadre, seperate myself from everyone else just because of my rank/job....I'd rather not...I'm still going to do my job and have everyone follow the rules...I too will the folow the rules still and try my best to get this group back on the ball...

It's Christmas Today!!!!!! I got an Ipod Nano, which I have no idea on how to work...but I'm slowly learning...damn..I'm so old that I can't work a simple music machine as my friends call it...lol

Street Racing...well..I've quit that temporarily...Twan and Gem are as of right now in Stockton visiting family and Gem is actually telling me she's getting sick of something...I really don't know what...it's really unclear to me..but whatever..she's weird!!

People...I've met so many people this year...not just in rotc but everywhere..it's awesome...I'm like amagnet for people...as Joey calls me...it's funny..but I like it...I hope to not lose track of any of the people

Saber Team!!!! I'm still on saber team..and I plan to end the year on this wonderful team...now the team consist of Juan as our commander, Andrew as our Nco and Yen, Nikki, Joseph, Patty, Armando, Eddie and Remie....Remie...she's doing awesome..as as our little secret...I'e been teaching her, everything I know...and a lot of the sequences I've been making up, like "King's Hands", "God's Palm", and a bunch of other stuff...she's mastered "Draw", "Present Arms", Waterfall", "Windmill", "Spin Saber" and so much other stuff!!! She's like my student..but she learns really fast..it's insanly impressive...she may be the next commander from what I see....i would be proud of her!!!!

Ummm...ohhhh..my girlfriend..well...her name is kassie pham...and yea...we're in love!!!! So yea...we've been toghether for a month and a half now...and yea...it's been ok...her parents are insalny strict....it's kinda aggrivates me..but I still love her and thats all that matters...lol

Hope to write in here again soon...merry christmas and god bless

Oh god today was an excrutiating long day!!!!....I know big word.....today I woke up very early to drive up to Belmont with my brother and Twan to see the sparring tournament briefing thing..and it ended up to where the first matches for everyone were gonna start today!!!!!thank god I wore shorts....I had to spar this guy called Jimmy....he was really good! I was actually very impressed...I think he study Ju Jitsu and Judo....but he did it very well....the hardest part to believe was that he was in jeans sparring! It was hot.....and he was sparring....I might have gotten tired in a flash! He kept up very well...He was also very intimidating to begin with but Twan told me "Expect anything, it's the ultimate way to be ready for anything" I took his advice and did my best....in the end...I won my first round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jimmy was a cool guy after the match....we went out to eat at a vegetarian place with Twan and my brother...it was still somewhta early...but I had to get home before 11:30 to go to Cecilia's birthday party....and....I still had to get ready! I got home a quarter after 10:00...showered fast again.....changed and as I got out my ride was here to go to Cecilia's house.....we got to Cecilia's....meet some people....swam in here pool....had some cake....played twister...talked some...played some guitar....sung some songs......went home....found out the power was out so I cooked some fish on the grill outside....lit some candles and had some food...good day.....came to my dad's.....rested up andthat's it.....party was great....friends were better...and the match was the.....well not the best....but great!

Yesterday: Went to my friend Kevin's house on my bike....all the way to Coyote Creek which for some reason people think that's far from my house....whatever...it's a nice bike ride...I liked it....so I got to his house....found out he wasn't there for a while till when I ran into him, Katherine and Phil on their way to his house as I was gonna go to the gas station to get something to drink....we walked back to the house...watched some movies like Harold and Kumar go to White castle....My Sassy Girl (This Korean/Cantoneese flick) it was a very good movie I think....met several new people....saw several old friends...but their still great....thanks you guys....

Other things hmmmm....oh I got some more people to come on the trip....it's looking likes it's gonna be quite an experience haha....good friends and even better surprises.....

Me and Gem have been hanging out again since she came back from Korea....I might go race again if I have the heart to....It's a great time...I met many people....I have several memories that still dwell and yearn to come out again but as another experience...."I might go race again to have that adrenaline rush I love, when I put the pedal to the floor and my eyes on the road as I see my opponent on my rear view window"....(rhymes)ahhhh good tymes..lol

Hope to hang out with ya guys again soon...home and training eventually get repetitive...call me and we can chill or do something....other than that gotsta go help my brother change the oil and clean the car....bai bai
