Well coming back from eating sushi and watching "25th Hour." Pretty good movie, i liked the cinematography of the movie, pung did not. I must say nothing really spectacular about the movie but a very good movie none the less. Ana Paquin did nothing for me as some seductive high schooler. And Rosario Dawson and that mole damn that was not a pleasant sight at all. Phillip Seymour Hoffman pulled out another good performance but he seems to always play some loser, he should watch out from being typed cast, much like Hercules or who Jack calls Kevin Sorbo.
Well this morning I had to drive Jack to Ford so he could drop off his car, afterward we went to IHOP. I didn't like what i ordered but Jack's plate smelled good, but when does banana nut smell bad, other than when you don't take a shower. After that we dropped by Fry's where i could not find that Buffy Season Three dvd, damn that box set. Where can i get it other than Amazon. Finally dropped Jack off at home and went home just to find out that Jack's car was ready for pick up cause Ford ordered the wrong year part or something. So dropped him off, came home, set up this new server blog, and went off to play tennis.
During tennis i played with Khanh and then Huey again, that bastard. After Huey got tired Khanh challenged me to a set, which i lost (6-4) but i still managed my one ace per match. My game mentality sucks. Actually i suck at tennis, just a fun recreation sport for me to play. Came home from that and got ready to go to the movies. That was my Saturday, pretty normal nothing really special. Well now i wait for Pung's call for details on the ski trip tomorrow morning. So see you when i see you.
My Coming of Age Story
Skies the Limit
Saturday, January 18, 2003
Well Jack informed me of this blog site, and using his website as my server so i am giving it a try. So far this seems pretty cool but it lacks the simplicity of diarryland. But i will probably get use to this and find it much more interesting. Since i am changing my blog site i will now repost all my prior entries. Bye for now.
First Entry (1-12-2003)
Well it seems like the hip new thing to write down what you did during the day. All my friends seem to be doing it. Jack does it on his website, and Pung does it on this website, so i thought i give it a whirl.
Where do i begin, how about from the time i woke up. I woke up at 9am today (normal Sunday hour) and went to turn on my computer in hopes that i would receive something i have been waiting for awhile for. But at last it did not come in. Sometimes i wonder if i am fooling myself waiting for this response i may never get but i wait. Since my computer was on i browsed my daily sites at the same time listen to my JPop music avec Michelle Branch's (before label) songs.
Once i was done with that i decided to work on my Bus 187 group powerpoint presentation since the girl in my group wanted it done by Sunday night, and today being Sunday. This girl is nice and all but goes over the top on what she wants. Just a business GE class no need to go above and beyond. Well took me an hour or two to finish that and i sent it off. Pretty good if you ask me i planned on doing it at 5pm today but i just did it since i had nothing else to do in the morning.
After i was done i called Pung to go to BestBuy but he was too lazy to go, don't blame him just got back from another ski weekend. Wish i could go skiing have the urge but this winter break is ending and school is starting so opportunity missed i guess.
Around 2pm i got extremely bored and tired of staring at the computer screen, so i decided to pick up a book to read. I started reading "Rules of Attraction," got the book after i saw the movie. Read that book for 3 hours amazingly and i am barely on page 90. Damn what a slow reader i am huh. Interesting book, I like Paul's story. Book a lot better than the movie, but when is the movie ever better than the book.
Since i stopped reading the book i've just been laying in bed watching tv and eating. Hehe eating man i seriously think i am coming down with some kind of image problem. Look myself in the mirror and think i am fat or that i am gaining the weight i lost. But i scale myself and i weigh the same. NEED HELP. Hehe. Now here i sit realizing it is 8pm and i am missing simpsons and have yet cooked rice.
Second Entry (1-13-2003)
So this is my second entry, and I basically got nothing special to say. Was a pretty normal day, as normal as you can get. Wake up at 6:50am, get ready for school, after school go to work. Only thing different today was i dropped off a listing of all of Jack's books he will need next semester. After that i picked up my dry cleaning. While driving i was wondering is it right for me to assume my dry cleaning to be done even though i was going to be at the store 10 mins prior to the pick up time. It is just 10 mins, i think dry cleaning takes longer than that.
When i got home i just checked my email, browsed my sites, and cooked myself some food. Now it is 7:20am and this serena william's tennis game is so one sided. Well the american music awards is on at 8, going to watch Christina Aguilera perform Can't believe the AMA's, how could they not nominate Avril Lavigne for any awards with the year she has had. Oh well. Well Van is coming over and i need to burn her the new christina CD. bye bye.
Third Entry (1-14-2003)
So home from the gym and i feel it is time to update my dairy. Class was torture today. And what made it worst was class ending with this girl who's voice annoys the shit out of me. This has been the longest two weeks of school. But school is school and i want to graduate next year.
At work there was a lot of noise coming from the Crime Analysis department, so my co-worker went to find out what was the noise about. It turns out that the department has two mice and that the noise was a vacuum cleaning the mice droppings. Pretty nasty.
Oh i must make a correction from last night's entry, so the Serena match was not one sided. Hehe. But it was a interesting match, i wished it went the other way though.
Boy my weekdays are so normal, nothing to write about but oh well what are you going to do. Well now i will watch Agassi dismantle this Korean player. Watch things turn around and Agassi loses that would be funny.
Fourth Entry (1-15-2003)
Well i was going to write about how i have came to realized how pathetic i am during class. (Still do) But on my way home from the gym, i was listening to Atomic Kitten's The Tide is High, and that boosted my spirits. Here are the lyrics for those of you who don't know the song.
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kind of guy
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
It's not the things you do
That tease and hurt me bad
But it's the way you do
The things you do to me
I'm not the kind of guy
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
I'm not the kind of guy
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every time that I get the feeling,
You give me something to believe in
Every time that I got you near me
I know the way that I want it to be,
But u know I’m gonna take my chance now,
I’m gonna make it happen some how,
And you know I can take the pressure
A moments pay for a lot of pleasure
I'm not the kind of guy
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Every time that I get the feeling,
You give me something to believe in
Every time that I got you near me
I know the way that I want it to be,
But u know I’m gonna take my chance now,
I’m gonna make it happen some how,
And you know I can take the pressure
A moments pay for a lot of pleasure
Fifth Entry (1-16-2003)
So i am looking at my inventory in my room and realized i am missing quite a few stuff. I am missing dvds and games. Also i realized that some people still owe me money. I feel wierd asking for them cause i feel it is not my responsibility to ask for items back. If i lend people personal belongings i shouldn't be the one to asked for them back. I am doing them a favor by lending them out and i shouldn't be responsible in asking for them back. The person who is borrowing the item should naturally realize to return the possession. That is how i feel.
In class today i had to sit through 4 lousy presentations. My gosh, must people read straight from their slides, rehearse a bit.
Work was somewhat torturous as well. Finished my work within 15 mins leaving me 4 hours and 45 mins left to do what? So i rearranged the filing cabinets and ate plenty of chocolates and sugar sticks.
Well i got a final tomorrow and a presentation. Bye for now.
Sixth Entry (1-18-2003)
Well just got back from watching the movie "The Hours" and i must say if Nicole Kidman doesn't win an oscar for that role, she got royally screwed. Quite amazing for an actress to show such anguish with just a gaze. I love her eyes in the movie they told her character's story so well. Julianne Moore did a nice job as well, didn't really care for Meryl Streep's story though. Each time it was her part i would wish it went back to Nicole Kidman's story.
With that in mind i must say today was quite an awesome day. Finally finished winter session after 12 grueling days. I think i did bad on the final, and that girl, who i mentioned in my prior entry, got our group a B+ on the presention cause she picked the wrong country as the weakest country in ECOWAS. Damn her.
After school i got my braces tightened and went to play tennis afterwards. Tennis was awesome a good hour and a half exercise. Got to play with Huey which was cool, that guy can be so evil, make me run left to right what a bastard. But man am i rusty, rusty as the most rustiest thing you can think of.
"But Nam the rustiest thing i can think of is pretty damn rusty"
"That is the whole point Nam, I am making fun of my rustiness".
(Nams laugh)
After tennis i went to eat at Kim's store again, just doing my part to help a failing business. Going to need all the help it can get with all these panda express opening up these days. But i prefer Mr. Chou's a lot better. Mwahaha. Well like i said pretty awesome day, should get to bed, got to wake up early to pick up jack at Ford.
