Quote of the day: "So where's the horse?" -James O.

You know for a guy who's been to SF and Daly City for quite some time, I really should learn to wear warmer clothes.  Thankfully the weather isn't that bad today but it was still pretty cold.  So why did I go to SF today?  There was a new resturant that opened up near Pier 39 called "Hooters".  If you don't know, it's a resturant where the women there wear tight tank tops and usually have pretty big breasts.  Even though the women there were the main show, I felt pretty akward around their presence.  Our server sat down next to me when taking some orders and I guess I must have shifted away a little.  No, I'm not gay.  And when she touch me on my back telling me there is no rush, I felt very uncomfortable.  My friends wanted me to take pictures with the waitresses, but I humbly declined until the very last picture.

After the dinner we walked around broadway for a good ten mins.  I'm glad we didn't go to a strip club because I didn't want to.  Usually I'm a person where if everybody wants to do something I'll just suck it up and say fine, let's do it.  But this time I straight up said, "no".  I didn't even give anybody a chance but if they wanted to, fine: I'll just wait outside.  I wouldn't have gone in even if it was cold out there because you can't force me to do something I don't want to do.  I'm proud of that.  I've never been to one and I don't plan to go to one soon. 

The trip back was an interesting one.  Driving back we saw what looked like a semitruck that tipped over blocking the three right hand lanes on 101.  Turns out that it was actually a horse trailer.  There were a few other cars involved in the accident but it looks like nobody got hurt (although it did hurt my friends' hearts seeing the front bumper of a brand new camero completely ripped off).  "So where's the horse?" asked one of my buddies.  Passing up the accident, there was again traffice just a few feet ahead which was indicative of another accident.  Nope, not this time.  It was a horse... galloping with the flow of traffic in the middle lane.  What a site... what a site indeed.  Horse is fine and that's cool because we saw the owners stop it and I heard on the radio confirming it.  Wow, what a day.

Mood: Tried and dreary

Quote of the day: "Dude, I was about to say 'Shut the f--- up' to you but then I realized that it was actually them!" -Chris G. to me

Productive day today?  No.  I pretty much did nothing the whole day but at the same time I did.  Woke up and finish cutting out the trims to my wallet size pictures of me which I should be handing out to you guys soon (if you want one that is).  The pictures came out okay and they're suppose to be Sears quality too.  To be honest, I was pretty disappointed with the lady who posed me for my pictures because the poses were very generic and original.  If I knew I would have posed myself and brought my own props, such as a fake diploma.  ::sigh:: Oh well, the pendulum doesn't alway swing your way because that's life.

So I live in San Jose and I'm pretty close to the Great Mall in Milpitas (about 10 mins driving).  Let me tell you, it's definitly A LOT further if you were to walk there because I know it first hand.  Why did I walk it?  Because I'm crazy but I'm sure you all knew that already. 

What is it in life that you REALLY desire?  And I'm not talking about true love, peace on earth, or things like that.  I mean something that you can hold, touch, feel, and buy.  For me it's a house, and I'm talking about a big house too.  So I started walking around my neighborhood looking at them just to remind myself my goal.  One thing led to another and I was at the Great Mall.

Along the way, I did a lot of thinking and a lot of "soul searching".  Yes I know I'm nice but two very important people to me have told me and reminded me that I am TOO nice.  I don't usually stick up for myself and easily used by others.  I personally don't think I've been used by my friends because I enjoy helping people out.  But I can see what they were talking about.  I really got to learn to say no, and not be afraid of society.  It's okay to say no and it's definitly okay to be selfish to a point.  If I get beat up, then so be it because at least I stood up for myself.  How can I protect my loved ones if I can't even protect myself?  I don't know, I just think too much and that's okay.  Why?  Because Mike Yang is always okay.... I'll be fine. 

On a lighter note Chris and I watch "The League of Extrodinary Gentalmen" tonight.  Was it good?  It was a fun movie, that's all I have to say.  Would I recommend it?  Ehh... I guess.  I'll give it a B or so.  Okay, it's getting late and I better get going now.  Night.

Mood: Okay I guess.  Got to stop writing about how I feel too much because it's depressing me.... ::sigh::

Quote of the day: Already posted one baby.

It's nice coming back to San Jose after a long but relaxing drive back from Davis.  Had dinner at Quizno's with Jocelyn and taked about highschool and college times.  My they just seem to fly on by don't they?  Kinda sucks because althought I knew I had a great highschool experience, I can't really remember much.  Sure there was mock trial, my tennis games, acting on stage, or the dreaded AP tests, but there wasn't that much gossip, or was there?  If there was, which I'm sure there was, I probably didn't know about it. 

Talking to my mom for the last hour or so, I ask myself: am I really mature?  The answer to that is no because we all mature each day everyday.  I was more mature in highschool than I was in middle school.  I'm definitly a lot more mature than I was four years ago but nevertheless i still think like a 21 year old.  Do I?  How is 21 year old graduate suppose to think?  Am I suppose to act older?  It's okay.  It all depends on the situation because there are times when it's okay to act younger than your age, as long as you know when to start and stop. 

Mood: Tired and a little depressed yet hopeful.

Quote of the day: "Run run run!"

Just back from a long day at lab and just chillin in front of my computer before I head back to SJ today.  Well, I better take a quick little nap because the sushi didn't sit too well throughout the day, not that I threw up or anything.  Food coma.

Well, finally started studying for the GREs that I plan to take soon and it looks pretty tough.  At the same time it's not so tough that I'm discouraged from it of course because that's not the way to go.  I was taught to see the GREs as a game where the more you practice, the better you get.  That's the optimistic way to look at it and I'm cool with that. 

Don't really know what I'm going to do once I get back to SJ.  I mean I haven't talked to my mom for about three weeks (in person that is) and I'm sure there's a lot to talk about.  At the same time my life is very repeatative lately as with many of you guys.  Just wake up, go to lab, lunch, lab, study here and there, and finally sleep.

Checking out my previous logs, I realized that I'm starting to be more open about my life on the internet, but still not quite open.  One day, I'll just let everything out because I deserve it and I have the right to.  Why?  Because it's my weblog.  Until then I'll keep things to myself because I feel like I've talked about it enough and the more I talk to people about it, the more people get annoyed with it.  I'll stop it here.  It's 5:00 p.m. so I better get some rest before I head out in two hours or so.

Mood: Relaxed but dreary

Quote of the day: "How did you make the rope?" "Human hair.... from my back" -Jack Sparrow

Just got back from the movies watching the Pirates of the Caribbean and I'd have to say that it's a really good movie.  I highly recommend it!  We watched it with two new friends which was cool because I'm always looking to meeting new people.  Skipped around, got flowers from some random person from the park but too bad they're dying this very moment.  Chances are that they're dead by the time you read this log.

I also spent about $35 on the Kaplen GRE preperation guide book.  It better be worth it or I'll kick its ass!  Well, it also requires me to put the effort into it.

Truth is that I'm still not comfortable spilling out my guts on the internet.  What if the wrong person reads it in the future?  What if this gets out to the wrong person?  What if they're twisting my words around?  Ehh.. who cares?  This is my weblog and I'll post whatever I'd like and if you don't like it then tell it to my face.  Seriously.  If I'm bothering you for whatever reason, please tell and don't let it blow up in the future. 

I'll try to go to sleep now, if I can.

Mood: Hopeful and distraught
