Since I have not updated since leaving for UCLA, I will now tell you what I have been up to.  UCLA is quite amazing.  I have enjoyed every moment of being here, whether meeting new people, playing new games, or meandering doing nothing in the house.  Jeff is an awesome roommate with an odd Korean video fetish.  Although I must approve of the Giordano and Any Call commercials.  None of that se7en nonsense.  I enjoy dust offing him to annoy him in my spare time.  Be prepared.  Remember where Osa, Tanaki, and Dallas sprayed each other?  That's where I'm headed next quarter BIOTCH! MUAHAHA.

What else?  My housemates are the shiet.  Every single person is awesome.  They all are different and unique and I enjoy seeing them everyday.  Nothing bad has happened....except football.  Losing to...Wyoming....yes Wyoming....the same state with 2 people living in it....the same state that is inhabited by more buffaloes than people (according to loser Berkeley Vicky)...in the Las Vegas Bowl.  Boooooo.....and the USC game....don't get me started!!!!  Bah no football talk...let us continue!!

Do I miss EHS friends while up at UCLA?  Always.  I find myself looking at old pictures of dances, hangouts, school events, etc.  almost daily.  The videos I took of Brian Wong "HMPHIN" and Sunny saying KITTY and Amy saying "EHEHE, WUT" always bring a smile to my face.  Lo siento if I haven't been trying hard to keep in contact with you all.  There's just so much to do at UCLA.  Just know that I love Class of 04 for liiiiife and are always thinking of you all.

Well I'm off to Viva Vegas manana.  Relatives gathering around for a reunion in the City of Sin...isnt it great?  I'm driving this year too.  Exciting isnt it?  No?  Well then I must say EFF YOUR LIFE....in the merriest of ways of course =)

What has happened this break?  Daniel wiped out a table at poker.  Late night meal runs.  Secret Santa.   A light smash session.  And of course, Meet the Fockers.  Hopefully more to come the next week...right you asssss....HOOOOOOOLES.  LoL!

Anyways, enough of this jumble mumble. Some of you will get gifts after I get back since I did not see you all.  I want to wish you all a Merry Xmas, Happy Hanukkah, Great Kwanzaa.  May your holidays be blessed with as much fun as mine has been so far.  Hope to see you all again very soon!  From the deepest CREVASSES and CRACKS of my heart that is now clogged with cholesterol from UCLA food, take care, be safe, and once again, happy holidays! 

I enjoyed China a lot.  It was a great experience to get away from America and just travel at my own leisure in a foreign country.  I will post more about it later...but i have one thing to say.  Here are some highlights.

Olympics.  The Olympic coverage is so much better in China then it is here.  Here it is all Gymnastics, Track and Field, and Swimming.  In China, they show EVERYTHING.  Holy crap.   Badminton and PingPong are bad ass in China.  Chinese people are soooo good at those things.  The Chinese raped in those....also they raped in shooting things and womens weightlifting.  Yes...womens weightlifting...I am as confused as you are. 

Tour group.  A group of very fun people.  Most of the families that brought their kids had kids my age or older, so it was very fun to meet them all and get to know them.  I had fun playing cards and chatting.  They all go to school around CA too so that is very cool.  One of them was sick at the beginning of the tour and had to get two shots at a Chinese hospital.  Sucked for her...but i think she gave the sickness to my brother and then passed it to me.  So I come home to YL wiht a little sickness. Nothing major tho.  No worries....I am SARS free....or AM I!?!?

Pee Pee boys.  Those of you who asked for them shall be given them.  Some cracked on a plane ride, but its ok.  More than the 12 I bought are still in perfect condition.  I also bought these toy mice thingies in Shanghai.  Some of you who have pet dogs may get those.  Uhh, parents bought silk, tea, teapots, freakin fake purses.  My mom bought likme 5 fake purses each for like 5 bucks.  Ridiculous.  China actually splits up the quality of their fake purses.  My mom go the GRADE A quality purses.   Shebus...I love teh Chinese night markets.

All hotels were 4-5 star quality.  Nice rooms.  Comfy beds.  Good stuff.  Our local tour guide at Beijing, who shall remain nameless for his own protection from the CCP,  had connections with the underground.  He had one of his connections come to our hotel room with a luggage full of dvds.  Haha....soo great.  Our whole tour group in one room bargaining about teh prices of the DVDS.  He sold it to us for a cheap price of about a buck per dvd.  All the dvds are in high quality.  We bought 40 of them.  Hehehehe...

Food.  Uhh...let's just say man's best friend is not so best friend-ish and not so tasty over there in my homeland. 

*************I only have one more thing to say.  It is important u read through ALL of this paragraph.*************

So i was waiting at the Beijing Airport about to play war with my two fellow tourmates.  I was very bored and quite disappoitned that my flight had been delayed 2 hours.  Then I heard a lot of commotion and my Aunt saying, "Aye Ping-Ping (my nickname in Chinese), nu gu run shr Chung Long."  ::brain translate::  "Hey Brian, that person is Jackie Chan."  I looked up and saw a man wearing white with two ladies at his side about 20 feet away from me.  I didn't believe her so I ran after the guy.  I went to his side and my eyes went wide in astonishment.  I went to say hi and he shook my hand with his picturesque smile.  He then proceeded to say "Ni hao."  That is "how are you" in Chinese.  I then requested a picture, but he was late to his flight so his personal assistants said no.  No matter!!!

I SAW JACKIE CHAN AND SHOOK HIS HAND AT THE BEIJING AIRPORT!!!!!  WOOOOOOW!!!!
