I'll do my best to recall but seeing as how my memory is failing me and I'm watching Ultraviolet... so I'll be distracted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So... May 31 was my little sister's band banquet. Since she had already bought me a ticket, I was sort of forced to go. Still, I wanted to so drove back home and took her there. The event itself was interesting and entertaining. Best part was seeing all my high school friends. =] and they were all dressed up too. xD Well so was I.. but no one will see that. hehe. So Sunday morning, went back to Irvine and work. Yaaay... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;O yea, I got to finally visit Jenn and Roo as UC Riverside. I'm sorry girls but Irvine really is the best xD I'm not jk-ing either but one thing I like about Riverside is the wide open space. The dorms are nicely designed and laid out with ac which is always a plus. Ate out at a sushi place with Jenn and her friends who are crazy but still a cool group to hang with. First time at sushi bar/place/thing. In that way, first time eating sushi. [yes jenny, I said it. breeaaathe] haha It's not bad but just waaay to expensive. Got to meet up with Roo later and talked. x] I'm glad you two are doing well there. So that basically completes all the visiting I could possibly do, at least for the UC's. Yep, got LA, SD, and Riverside. Now to work on the cal states and then community colleges.. xD&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Traffic training is getting better I suppose. I'm more confident now but I still have a lot more to training to do. Still, I find it really entertaining. xD Work is getting better. More and more of my friends are applying and that's cool. Made a few friends at parking too. hahaha I've gotten to hang out with some of them quite a bit too. One especially &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;somewhat evil but cute&lt;/span&gt; person too lolz. I'm j/k if you're reading this. You were special enough to be mentioned so *nyahhh* =P&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;FINALS ARE FINALLY OVEEEEER! sigh... I just didn't do so well this quarter. I thought I would do so much better in lab. Chem 1C was a nightmare.. In a way, I hope I fail so I can retake it in the summer and get a better grade. Don't get me wrong, Doctor Choudery was a good professor. It's just that her midterms and final wasn't very fair. The problems were solve-able.. if we had enough time. Time was the real enemy and like many other students in the class, I could never seem to finish all the problems in the given 50 minutes. Econ was easy... it was just intro but I picked up a few money making tips.. haha I sort of want to minor in econ because I just love the idea of doing business and calculating my profits. Who knows? However, I'll hold off on that so that next quarter I can focus on raising my core/major gpa. I want to stop feeling like all I can do is fail or just hit average in class. I want to set the curve. So my major goal is to basically stop gaming. Next quarter will be school, study, library, work, and time for friends. =D And as for psych.. well, I don't think I want to minor in that. I love the subject but I just suck at taking the exams for it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Summer is coming up.. I will officially be on "summer vacation" after working for commencement. ehhh June 13, 14, and 15. 12 hour shifts each day. x.X The pay should be really good though. Plus, I'll need it for this summer.. Gas is going up.. summer school at Pasadena City College. O yea, I start the Monday after commencement. Yeep, after working all Sunday and driving home, I have summer school the following morning at 8 am. The only thing I'm looking forward to is tennis class because I can improve and improve without having to search for courts around home. Plus visiting a friend at Irvine too. I don't mind the drive nor paying for the gas but it's worth it =D Hang out with b4k4, chill with vixen and tilly, learn to roller blade, visit high school and old friends, and work at doctor's office. Yep that's my summer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In a way, I can't wait till the start of Fall quarter. I'll be living in an apartment with Edward and two other random people.&amp;nbsp; Cooking for myself and a few friends. Becoming a better student. And finally, finish my training as a level two. So much to look forward to. I can't wait =D&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/661224147/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Thursday, May 29, 2008</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/659104187/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/659104187/item.html</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 00:02:31 GMT</pubDate><description>stolen from jay and tilly...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Type B&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;More Common In:&lt;/b&gt; China, Indonesia, Hungary, Korea, Vietnam

&lt;b&gt;Worst Traits:&lt;/b&gt; Forgetful[at thimes..], irresponsible[yea...], careless[naaa], sometimes clueless[very], often lazy, tends to procrastinate[don't we all?]&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Element of Strength:&lt;/b&gt; Water

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Signs of Strength:&lt;/b&gt; Pieces, Cancer, Scorpio
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Sins of Fault:&lt;/b&gt; Sloth, Gluttony
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Famous B&amp;#8217;s:&lt;/b&gt; Akira Kurosawa, Paul McCartney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mia Farrow, Tom Selleck
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Summery:&lt;/b&gt; Type B&amp;#8217;s thrive on doing what it takes to achieve the
happiness they want. For them, living a satisfying, fulfilling life is
the most important goal out there. There&amp;#8217;s no point in getting that
job, being with that person, or taking that path if they can&amp;#8217;t be happy
and do what they enjoy and love to do. They believe choosing a path
just because money or fame lies at the end of it is taking the foolish
path, and will lead to consequences of dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;B&amp;#8217;s are fun and easy to get along with. If they know someone
doesn&amp;#8217;t like them, they don&amp;#8217;t whine, throw insults, or plot revenge,
they simply laugh it off or merely ignore the person without making a
big deal about it. After all, who cares what they think, right? Their
loss.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Type B&amp;#8217;s, however, may often have a problem taking things seriously
at times. Most make great friends, but have a tendency to laugh or let
their attention wonder when the timing is inappropriate. They may do it
with intentions of cheering another person up and only end up making
the person feel worse. B&amp;#8217;s can be very careless, and jump right into
something without putting enough thought into what they&amp;#8217;re getting
themselves into. The same way A&amp;#8217;s pay too much attention to detail and
miss the big picture, B&amp;#8217;s are the exact opposite in often forgetting
all about the detail. They see the big picture of things right from the
start, and see no reason to take it apart just to be able to understand
the image.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Type B&amp;#8217;s are the most selfless type. They care very much for the
well-being of their family, friends, and partners, and like to see and
make them happy. If they have a friend or family member get down or
enter a period of depression, they&amp;#8217;ll do whatever they can to help snap
them out of it. If the person in need fails to respond, type B&amp;#8217;s will
eventually become fed-up and angry, and result to using their harsher
side. It angers them &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt;
much to see others screwing-up their lives and hear them hopelessly
complain about it when they&amp;#8217;re making no real effort to fix it. When
Type B&amp;#8217;s throw anger fits, they can be very extreme and drastic. B&amp;#8217;s
ESPECIALLY get angry when someone they care about is in real danger.
B&amp;#8217;s are initially more dominant than submissive, but are overall the
most evenly split between the two. They know when to step forward, but
still know there are times when it&amp;#8217;s better to step back.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;However, when B&amp;#8217;s are hit by a big misfortune it can affect them
greater than it affects the other types. The reason for this is the
fact that type B&amp;#8217;s are usually not nearly as accustomed to dealing with
serious problems for themselves as the other types, as great as they
are at helping others with their problems. They don&amp;#8217;t mind helping
others through the tough times, they just don&amp;#8217;t want any real tragedy
for themselves. Because of this, a type B may opt to runaway from
confronting certain problems for long periods of time, thinking that if
they run long enough, the problems will eventually stop chasing them
and disappear.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;The nature of type B&amp;#8217;s often makes them more prone to acts of
carelessness and foolishness. Being the most open-minded, type B&amp;#8217;s
often don&amp;#8217;t mind trying new things, despite the number of risks that
may be involved. However, they may once again jump foolishly into
something without putting enough thought behind their actions or what
they could potentially be getting themselves into, only to later find
themselves in a big mess. Type B&amp;#8217;s also tend to have the poorest memory
recollection (or just 'short-term memory' in general). They may open
the refrigerator and decide they need some milk, go to the grocery
store, and then get back with a ton of other things only to realize
they forgot to buy the milk. They aren&amp;#8217;t especially good with staying
&amp;#8216;on schedule&amp;#8217; and often find themselves arriving late somewhere or
remembering something at the last second. They also tend to remember
faces better than names.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Type B&amp;#8217;s are also sometimes prone to being lazy. Once in awhile,
they may spend hours at a time in front of the television or on the
computer, or in something like meditation or simply spending time
sitting at a favourite spot admiring the scenery. They may go to bed
two hours early or wake-up two hours late. B&amp;#8217;s are the best at
relaxing, and love all the more to relax; mind, body, and spirit. They
often find themselves tired in the morning, throughout the day, or
earlier than they&amp;#8217;d like to be, especially after a long day at work or
school. B&amp;#8217;s are often drawn to products containing sugar and caffeine,
such as chocolates and coffees. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess... but I'm not a caffine person. Have not tried coffee or any energy drinks. How do I stay awake doing all those all-nighters you may ask? Sheer will-power. ehhh... I agree with Jay in that this is more of a description of her.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/659104187/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, May 25, 2008</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/658529342/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/658529342/item.html</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 May 2008 04:36:40 GMT</pubDate><description>Chem midterm pawned me sooo badly, it was not even funny. Well, not only me but the entire class. Even with a low curve.. well let's just say I sunk. I dunno though.. I usually like putting myself into these situations where I'm usually screwed but end up pulling a miracle in the end and such. Even when I actually try to study, I'll always bomb midterm 1 and 2 but pull through in the final. I guess it's that mentality where I know I have to work hard in the end while everyone else, who did well on midterm 1 and 2, slack off a bit because they're feeling a little overconfident. ehh.. as long as I hit the B area, I'm cool with it. But seriously... this is the first time my ummm instincts I suppose has failed me. Usually when I go into a test without studying much or at all, I'm able to pull though with the curve but this time... ouch.. I did have an awesome weekend before the test on Monday. haha&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let's see... Friday... ummmmm... one word. well no, two: Maplestory and anime. Freakin Kathy got me hooked on a new series called Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Awesome anime and I was very tempted to try to finish the first season in one night. I think I fell asleep after episode 8. But overall- No Studying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Saturday.. I think I had work in the morning. Freakion 6 hour kiosk shifts. Well, I don't mind working 6 hours but asking me to wake up at 6 in the morning is a pain in the butt. Got back and well, a spontaneous phone call from tilly asking if everyone was down for korean bbq. Course I'm always down for some all-you-can-eat Korean bbq. Called a few people up, kidnapped errr.... "picked up" tilly from Chino hills i think? and then met up at Cham Sut Gol or something like that. Love that place and it's always fun eatting with Simon and Ken. After that, we went to watch Iron Man. Very sweet movie. I wouldn't mind going to watch again. Got back at like... 1 am? Messed around online and then slept. Overall- No Studying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Woke my tired butt up early and then headed down to San Diego. Visited Jenny at work too before I left and she looked soooo dazed and out of it. Drive to SD was fine but looong. It was around 70ish miles from Irvine. x.X Yet I enjoyed it though because the freeway was like right next to the ocean and clear freeway all the way. Met James at UCSD and just hung out. Went down to downtown La Jolla, visited the seals and took tons of picture with them, tide pool fun, camera whoring as usual with James. Yea, just visiting him at his natural environment. O yea, Jenny texted me while I was at UCSD and was like... did you visit me this morning? I can't remember. I was laughing my butt off. So yea, little adventure with James. He also lost his car keys too somewhere on campus when we were exploring. So sad, he never ventured around his campus until that day when I went to hang out with him. Eventually found his keys on like Tuesday or something. But yea, came back in the afternoon, napped, and knocked out. No Studying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So yea, Monday comes too soon and basically, I got screwed. Can't really complain though, my fault. But like I usually do, gotta work my butt off and pull through in the final. O yea, one more special event that happened this week. Speaking of special event, I got moved up in UCI Special Events or a.k.a. UCI Parking. -___- I will now be training as a lvl 2 in the department. Didn't really get much of a say in it. I didn't really want to get moved up but well, with how the office condition is... basically, all the old lvl 2's are quitting due to er-hem... some annoying managers who moved back into the office.. So they'll need new lvl 2's to replace the old ones. Sorta sad though.. I would try to get and reason with the old lvl 2's to stay seeing as how commencement is only like 2 weeks away. But yea, you're looking at UCI's newest traffic director soon. &amp;gt;.&amp;gt; all I can say is I'm sorta happy because no more freakin bright yellow vests and hello to sweet custom jackets and mics for lvl 2 and 3. O and the dollar raise. But I'll be sad to see my freetime, gaming time, napping time, and studying time go bye bye.. What can I do though... I really need a job to pay for school so ehh... sorta sucks having to try to pay for your education on your own but it's something I gotta do. Family can't afford my education due to circumstances so I'm taking it into my own hands. kk, back to Code Geass!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/658529342/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Saturday, May 17, 2008</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/657308482/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/657308482/item.html</guid><pubDate>Sat, 17 May 2008 02:56:41 GMT</pubDate><description>It's that time of school again. Well actually, near the end. Midterms. Overall... I really ned to work on Psychology. I realize that if I actually try to study instead of going into the midterm and winging it, I have a better chance of doing a lot better; not saying that I don't do too well anyways. Yes it has taken be about two quarters to realize that. Econ is whatever. The professor can't teach. period. I learn so much more sleeping in and not attending class but reading the book. The t.a. can teach what we learn in a week into our short&amp;nbsp; min discussion sections. Chemistry on the other hand... has been a hand full. I just hope I can scrape by with a B. So yea, last few days have been nothing but study study study.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess one reason why I can't do as well in school as I use to may also be due to work. I would like to enjoy school and socializing with my hall but I never seem to have the time. If I'm not in the dorm, I'm out on campus or at work. If I am in the room, I'm usually studying, doing homework, playing games in the middle of the night, or occasionally sleeping. Yet when you need the money for school, I guess I have a pretty good job. $9.50 an hour and sometimes I get to study. woohoo. Work is cool too. I've met a lot of nice and friendly people, well except a few coughalexcough. haha j/k dude. Some cute girls working there too. ;D&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Summer is approaching quickly. I just hope that there will be time to hang out with friends from different schools as well as my high school friends. Yet looking at my schedule, I dunno if that will even happen. Summer school at Pasadena City College. Maybe also attend Rio Hondo College to finish more Breath[G.E.] That way, I can have an easier time during the school year. O yea, I'm also volunteering/working at my family's doctor for "medical experience." haha Well, that's one thing that might help me get into medical school. iono, summer still seems about four weeks away and after the three "hell" days of work for commencement...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'll update more after my chem midterm on the coming Monday. Feeling a little sick too so pop some pills, listen to younha, and then sleep.&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/657308482/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, May 05, 2008</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/655572335/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/655572335/item.html</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 May 2008 13:57:01 GMT</pubDate><description>I've been watching way too many animes to have time to update. It all started with IGPX. Then rewatched a few episodes of Zoids and Claymore. Now my friend got me re-hooked on Tsubasa Chronicles. x.X To make matters worse, I'm still on maple. Wierd? Yes but the game has been a part of my life for two years. It's a place where I can vent; a place where I can forget about the world and school for a few hours and just using my holy powers and army of angels to cause mass destruction to the maple world. Lunch time now and then cramming for chem. &lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/655572335/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Future</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/653232753/future.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/653232753/future.html</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Apr 2008 05:23:34 GMT</pubDate><description>Ever since the mass guild hack crisis, I've done way too much thinking. Yes NOOBLETS got hacked and I'm really sad about that. Sad at how cruel some idiots are for taking away something precious to my friends and I. Sad at how the gm's didn't do anything to stop or re-compensate the hacked guild masters. Yet on the other hand now, I see it as a opportunity. Sort of like someone who released me from the shackles of the past and being a guild master and allowed me to be free and move on. So yes, as of now, my decision is to say good bye to nooblets and move on into the future. I mean, what's the point of recreating it if I'm going to be the one that will still hang on to those memories of all of us playing. Sort of seems like I'm waiting for them to come back. Frankly, I'm tired of waiting. As of now, I hit level 88 priest. woot! hahaha such a lil nerd... playing computer games still while I'm in college. But this is who I am and what I like. Deal with it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;New haircut/style. I've been thinking about getting it cut for awhile now but I never turned my words into action. It was always the same thing where I look into the mirror and think to myself, "I need a haircut. ehhh... Maybe next week." My hair grows fast but I suppose that's normal for a guy. Then, I was eating dinner with a friend and she was the one that, in a way, made me want to change my style. I don't know why but yea, it's shorter now. Lost my bangs and all too. In the words of Jess, "It looked like a lawnmover went through my hair." &amp;gt;.&amp;gt; People at work freaked out too. hahaha I guess I was always the glasses wearing, long-hair, quiet kind of guy but when they saw me saturday, short hair, no glasses and all, they were like wooow! you look like a new person. woot! I guess that's sort of what I wanted. iono where I'm going with this but yay haircut. For those of you that know me, yes I changed my hairstyle. again. and sorry ummm... I forgot who's turn it was to cut but next time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;hahaha... I should either be resting or studying for my chemistry 1C midterm and Psych 9C midterm later today but I'm here blogging, somewhat reading my psych book, and chatting. And the one thing that made me feel good and all was chatting to my friend. Her words somehow made me go o O wth?! but at the same time make me feel content. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;9: you're gonna be the guy who would never&lt;br&gt;9: break a girl's heart&lt;br&gt;9: sooo&lt;br&gt;9: don't stop being that guy&lt;br&gt;9: cus you're one in a million&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;hahaha... I can honestly say I've never heard that before. But I suppose that nice guys will eventually finish first. I mean, like one of those wong fu shirts "nice is never out of style" I'll just keep being myself and hope for the best. And one of the things I hate about myself is me blogging at late hours and when I should be doing something else. So that will be all and now, it's time to attack those books. again. x.X&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/653232753/future.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Wednesday, April 09, 2008</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/651259718/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/651259718/item.html</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 Apr 2008 03:09:51 GMT</pubDate><description>So I'm sitting here, laughing my butt off as my room mate plays with my DS and Brain Age 2. For all those who know Edward and his "short" patience... Well, lets just say it's showing. In the background, besides my music, is the constant swearing in English and Chinese. I think he's playing the game where you have to speak rock, paper, or scissor into the mic and he isn't annunciating it right. lolz&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Spring quarter is off to a decent start. I decided to not kill myself with 20 units and dropped down to 16 units. General Chem, Chem lab, Psychology, Econ, and two Bio seminars. Chemistry will keep me very busy as this is the most challenging course from the three class series of General Chem. Other than that, I've decided that I should expand my boundaries. So that means meeting new people. ewwwww... or at least that's how my reaction would usually be. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Honestly, I never was the person to go up to someone, stick out my hand and go "Hi! I'm Steven. What's your name?" Well... I could do that to a few certain people... haha I couldn't help it but I wanted them to notice me.. so cute.. err I'm straying from what I was saying. So yea, I've met a few people last week and such. Mostly from work. Work is fun, I guess. We had some big attendant meeting/party last Wednesday. I basically hung out with someone new I met who was really cool. That was really fun. Pay raise!! Woot! Now, my "hard work" earns myself $9.50 an hour. This should help out with paying for school, gas, insurance, housing, and such.. x.X Even with so many hours of work, including weekend, I'm still trying to do well in school too. The one thing I have to sacrifice is going home on the weekends. I'm really sorry to all you guys and girls if I couldn't hang out with you during Spring Break and I'm really sorry that you won't be seeing me during the weekends. But I'll be there for graduation! Promise. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I thought I would be down and maybe emo for a looong time... Especially since I couldn't show my emotions back at home. Dad would have brought up the past and start talking on how I don't need close friends, blah blah blah. But honestly, if it wasn't for you guys and girls.. I might still be that emo, lonely kid in that corner over there. I won't say that I'm 100% ok but in a sense, I've moved on. I did my best, gave it my all, and have almost no regrets. It's her decision. I guess meeting new people also helped so well, I wish her the best because I'm not going to be looking back and waiting for her anymore. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ok, I think I'm going to go rescue my DS now before it gets smashed due to frustration from Edward. lolz.. I'll find more time to update during the weekend.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/651259718/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tuesday, April 01, 2008</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/649944544/item.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/649944544/item.html</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 03:37:10 GMT</pubDate><description>So a recap on spring break... I'm going to try to remember as much as possible but with my poor memory and ehh mood... it might not be much...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I finished my finals on Thurs at 10 am. Hung out with friends and swiped them free food. Used all my swipes finally.. lolz. Then headed out to ucla and slept for a bit. Took Linh home. I missed home food o so much.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Friday-I just tennised and slept. The racket felt so odd in my hand but took less than five minutes to get my game back. It felt so good finally hitting and serving again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Saturday- Hung out with Nancy Nguyen who I haven't seen in over 6 months! Linh was there too. Pawned at miniture golfing at Golf n' stuff but it was so freakin expensive. Then we went to this teahouse Linh got me hooked on and it was her treat since she lost.. lolz. Got my DS that day too but had to drive out to rancho cucamunga. haha.. her freeway&amp;nbsp; driving skillz have improved quite a bit. I actually fell asleep on the ride there.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sunday- Purely tennis... tennis with friends.. tennis by myself... just letting go and putting everything into hitting the ball. Right arm was ok... just ok...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Monday- Tennis. again. Maplestory. Tennis. The arm is ehhh... Lambert Park. Words are just words till action takes place...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tuesday- Tennis in the morning.. served for about 40 min when arm froze and dropped the racket.. couldn't pick it up and I realized I damage right arm... serving too much and forcing it to do too much after so little exercise during the school year... sigh... Lunch with Nancy Chen~ missed her so much. Wicked with Linh later that night. She enjoyed her late Christmas present and her early birthday present. Parking was a pain in the butt... too pricey. Bought her the picture book special too. Worth it. She has the pictures that we took though so iono.. hers to keep. Got back at like midnight. Parents were sorta ehhh... but it was worth it I guess..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wednesday- Took dad to Long Beach to do his retirement stuff. College night with NHS at Arroyo. Good to see all the little kiddies and friends. Talked to a group of Sohpmores with Donna (cousin!) and Grace. Basically bs'ed for about an hour and a half about S.A.T's, college life, dorming, testing, etc. It was cool, my group was interactive and asked lots of questions. Ate out that night with Josie, James, Annie, Donna, and Aileen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thursday- Lunch with Simon and Eileen. Cues with b4k4 except Nancy. Fun fun, planned for beach trip.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Friday- beach trip with b4k4 except edward. It was nice seeing everyone again and hanging out.. made me feel a lot better, especially hanging out with Nancy and Josie. Pictues... find them on facebook. It was fun. I'm not a beach kind of person but hanging out with friends who were trying to cheer me up, I just can't help it but like that day..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Saturday- Doctors.. more medication.. ughh... Speedzone with Eileen, Jess, Simon, and sis. Drifting is fun. Slicktrack ftw. Got stuck a few times but it was cool. Pricey... cost way too much but driving is one thing I love and it always makes me feel better... raced like four times.. haha&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sunday- Irvine...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Along Spring Break, I spent many hours on maple, talking on the phone and way too much money eating out. haha... also.. Boba runs! I'm happy to say I made over 10 boba runs with different people. If I didn't get a chance to hang out with anyone over spring break, I'm sorry. Get a raincheck because I don't know if I'll be coming home anytime soon due to work and what not... Don't want to go home and yea... But graduation, I'll be there for you guys and girls with my gifts haha.. kk sleep time now. lab tomorrow at 8 and school is swamping me out...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/649944544/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>lost...</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/649266690/lost.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/649266690/lost.html</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2008 04:24:35 GMT</pubDate><description>I tried so hard... and got so far... yes, these are the words from Linkin Park's "In the End." As the rest of the phrase goes, I tried so hard, and got so far. In the end, it doesn't even matter. I guess in a way I saw it coming as did all my friends. They tried to steer me away from her, find someone else, yet I persevered and focused on her and her only.. We were the best of friends, close, and always enjoyed each other's company. I waited so long... endured so much from many people and events... did so much.. cried so much.. well, deep in the bottom of my heart, I'm happy for you. You found someone who can make you happy. As long as you're happy and smiling that soft, warm smile of yours.. then I guess I'll be fine. I may wish I could be the one that is the one to make you happy like so.. but it seems I'll always just be that best friend who'll always be there. I respect your decision and hope the best for you.. you deserve it. I admire the courage for you to tell me.. it must have been hard but I really am happy for you... I really am.. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for my friends.. you guys did so much for me and I was totally oblivious and focused on her.. you guys tried to protect me.. you guys never wanted to see me get hurt.. yet when it did happen, you didn't get mad at me but lent a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to. You guys consoled me when I couldn't even speak... you guys dealt with watching me for nearly the past three years try so hard.. from the bottom of my heart.. Thank you.. Josie.. Jess.. Eileen.. Donna.. Nancy.. Jenn.. Pinkie.. and everyone.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess it'll just take time.. it'll take time to heal these internal scars.. time to accept what happened was no nightmare come to life.. time to move on... and time to understand and comprehend that I'm a best friend. No more, no less.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Wicked was... just wickedly awesome. I got tickets to Wicked for her "Christmas" present + her birthday present. The tickets were not easy to get nor pay for but it was so worth it. The show was incredible and the music was spectacular. Better yet, we had fifth row seats much to her surprise. I told her we had back row seats and when I gave her the tickets to look for our seats, her mouth just dropped and was like... we got... front... seats..? lolz If you guys get the chance, watch the show. Very very good. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;mmkz personal life... has been.. hard. I'll update tomorrow night..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/blackhokage24/648935068/wicked.html#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
