2yrs again...

o no, time to update again...this time, forced to do so as xanga.com tryna shut my site down.  anyway, nothing new in the past 2yrs...balding, more whitehair, easily get hangovers, still lame-o, lame-o. 

and i'm back on track altho it's been quite a while for me to rock this xangay thing in FOBe style...another 2yrs has passed and once again, i can say many things has happened.  however, these past 2yrs seemed to have gone by much quicker than the previous 2yrs and the 2yrs before that.  guess i'm getting older and each 2yrs is getting relatively shorter with respect to my life so i suppose that is why it feels quicker.  popo had mentioned to me once that the longest day in one's life is the day they are born because that one day is 100% of one's life up until that point.  as of today, one day is only .011% of my life...great, i can see why people like xangay, gives you the power to ramble for no good reason.  i'm thinking of three things right now and here they are: today is Bank of China IPO debut and it is trading at about 15.2% preumim from IPO price which is much better than i expected, aaaaa madore-nu kuiteee and finally, what's jack bauer doing right now...

anyway, amazing tho, kago ai is no longer for me but boA and hyori and kristen kreuk and jessica alba and others are still going strong. 

so 4yrs ago, i wrote from my internship in Washington D.C., 2yrs ago from my job in Stamford, CT and now i'm writing from work in Hong Kong...chanto shigoto shiro tte hanashi dayona...but it's alright, it means i am very good at multi-tasking. 

kono 2nenkan nani kawattandaro...besides the shigoto and hikkoshi to HK, anma kawattenaine.  i still don't have a kanojo, which i haven't for 2nen, i'm still talking like ahhhnol, but recently we hakken shita his workout video where he is "cuhmmihn daih ahn nighht" but still there's "yes yah yes yah, geht in da chooppahhh noooooohhhhhhh teynaaaaah!"  

anyway yeah,  i went to slopeday...AGAIN...which made it 7 years in a row.  WTF?  i'm going to be known as "that guy" who can never get out of college...who still lives in the fantasy world and in a bubble thinking there is no place better and safer than college, kinda like van wilder.  i'm thinking this past slopeday would be the last one as i don't have any homebodies left in shithaca.  i realized tho, going to slopeday is just a crackfest and i'm def too old to handle it.  i actually didn't even make it on to the slope for SD2K5 and SD2K6, got on the slope at around 4pm.  i hear the record for consecutive slopedays is 9...no ambition to break that record for now tho. 

as we get older, obviously ur surrounding advances and gets older, which makes u face more illness and deaths.  i've heard too many stories these days about ppl not necessarily directly related to me but acquaintances and others getting these diseases that were unfathomable but now is a reality.  kowaissuyone...so i went to the docs to get a full body checkup just to make sure i'm healthy from their perspective.  i do feel weaker than i ever have in the past, and my bestest edumacated guess is because i am a lazy fuk and neglect to exercise.  either way, i did all those tests EXCEPT giving the doc a shit sample b/c i wasn't ready to shit and scoop it out with a spoon and throw it in a cup...but other stuff, i came out quite fine.  so less worries for now but still a growing concern.  everyone should get checked up every now and then for whatevers, including STDs and whatnot.  after coming to HK...STDs...aiyaaaa.  not only diseases but been hearing of sad stories about kids from my highschool ODing on drugs, getting into car accidents, falling off or getting pushed off cliffs...it's really sad.  minasan kiwotsuketekudasai. 

o, so kon 4nenkan...how much i've changed.  look at the shashins:

 4yrs ago in HongKong...restaurant

2yrs ago in Kenka

this year in Taipei

so not much has changed...demo nikibi ga detekita.  nanchatte adolescense?  ato chinko mo zenzen dekakunattenai...chijindakana? 

but honestly, dai.taai, mai.kaaai, itsumo onaji membaaa de saikaaai...i say it a lot but i mean it more now than ever that kazoku and tomodachis shall be cherished most right about now.  it's funny, my parents went to the US for opportunity when they were about 24 and myself?  i flew out to HK for opportunity at 24...or about 24.  obviously the move was not the easiest thing in the world but with internet and phone expenses paid for thanks to Gonorrhea Advisors, keeping in touch nowadays is easier than it's ever been.  sheit, the world is a small place.  family and friends at home, in Japan and other places r easily reached and can always be visited if need be.  i am greatful for them sticking around for my ass...also greatful for the new peeps here in HK.  makes life much more enjoyable and easier.  so yeah, the moving to HK was to find more opportunity but ultimately, it's to find more money, sad and shallow but true...however, i figure the money thing is ultimately for the family and friends, to enjoy life and whatnot with those foolios.  my definition of happiness is to be able to eat whatever i want, whenever i want with the ppl that r folks with me.  still far from the goal but one day, i will attain it.  i still have my goal which shows that life's quite good overall, atowa kanojo dakedane. 

in 2yrs will i still be in HK?  i can't complain about HK except for the lack of yameteee, kawaii ko but egh, i kinda miss ny and my bitch, lynda...but i wouldn't mind going back to tokyo or checking out singapore or do the london thang...maybe back to bayarea to reunite with some homies?  start up a Manko Capital penny stock hedgefund in Honolulu...setup a minesweeper school...or open up my KTV-ramen joint in Nigeria...who knows but hopefully this xangay thing stays up until then.  myspace.com is catching up...tteka kore yomu hito mada iruno? 

'til next time, think about the following photo:

SOOOO...my buddy inspired me to update for the first time in about 2 years since he had just updated...as he was saying, i doubt anyone would read my junx since i don't think anyone is subscribed to me but here goes. 

a lot has happened in the last 2 years...basically, i got over kago ai...moved on to greater things...like boA...and hyori...and kristen kreuk.  that basically summarizes my last 2 years. 

i remember when i typed my last entry, i was sitting at work in DC during my internship.  and now, i'm sitting at work again in CT during my job...shows how well i procrastinate and the ability to ALWAYS find time for random things.  

i recently realized that i gradumacated already.  ARE?  itsu no ma ni i'm so old?  it only has recently hit me that i'm really out of college...i guess since i went up to cornell so often earlier in the year, it hadn't really hit me that i'm out.  but now, it's like wowza...i'm really done.  overall, can't complain, "i already gave my best, i have no regrets at all".  in college, i said i loved high school.  now being a sarari-man, i can honestly say i loved college.  would i want to go back to high school or college?  probably not...now knowing how it is and being able to expect what would happen.  those times were fun because of the limited time and the amount of excitment that came from it, day in and day out.  the beautiful thing is though, i still keep in touch with the people i've been close with from elementary school, middle school, high school and college, which are the reasons that made my life so much fun in the previous stages.  i plan to keep those friends and continue my journey towards whatever that lies ahead.  either way, ppl who still bare with me, even though majority don't even read this, just want to say thanks and korekaramo yoroshiku.           

in the last two years, i think i've grown a lot...chinko dake dekakunatteneendayona...but mentally and emotionally, i've become more mature.  i've learned a ton...about life, love, the world and gained a greater appreciation for my family, friends and the finer things in life.  you can tell just by comparing this entry to my previous ones...mou kamehameha wa dekinaiyo...   

anyway, ppl about to graduate, cherish this time...otona no sekai wa sonna glamorous janeezo.  but the thing is, all these are just different stages in our lives.  i'm sure one day, i'll probably say that i loved my first job...maybe not...but yeah, it's all part of life.  u just gotta make the best of it and live it up happily.  obviously there comes a time when u'll hit some valleys...but at the end of the valley, there's gotta be that dank ish.  trust me, i've seen it.  i got to eat a 2.5lb lobster at 7am...how can life be any better than that?  i'm at a stage where i'm just living life and trying to find my ZONE.  my boy kyuu-chan says "ue wo muite arukou" which means sukiyaki and that is exactly what i'm doing.  as joe dirtee says, "gotta keep on keeping on brotha, life's a garden dig it" and diggin it i am.     

i haven't written anything here in about 2 weeks but the major thing i realized is "kago ai".  mou kyaaaaaaaa dabeyo.  just wait 4 more years...i'm banking my naon jinsei on these next 4 years. 

anyway, one last week left here in md.  been fun but ready to go home to ny and then back to the nell of Cor. 

ith mah birFFFFFday in 8 days.  yayayyayayay, PEACE

still far away from 5 comments in one day...but i hope to achieve it soon enough.  cooperation is much appreciated.  domo domo.  anyhoo, i wanted to share this with friends but the best way to express it i figure is here.  so this is the highlight of my day, week, who knows...hahaha, baibai, peeeeeeeeeasout
