Memorable Moment #1: Well today was the most relaxing day. NO work, NO school. Slept in till 10:30, and just did nothing for a couple of hours. But much like everything comes to an end, and this relaxing day has come to that end. Tomorrow is work, then school on Wednesday. DAMN.

Life comes and goes, but it's the memories that last forever.

Memorable Moments of Spring Break: Uh oh a brand new memorable moment special. Since i haven't written in this thing for awhile (mostly due to a lack of any eventful moments) i thought i write about the memorable moments of Spring Break '03. Hmmmm. Wow nothing comes to my mind. Oh wait, learned to use my stringing machine. But damn after seeing how freaking long it takes to string a raquet, i don't even want to use it. But i must at least 10 times as Pung said, so i can get my money's worth. Man so lazy to do any school work. Oh so lazy.

Today (Sunday) went to Renelynn's house (Duc's girlfriend) for her bday party. Had some food, freaking Duc didn't tell me when the party started, I assumed at 6 or rather around that time cause that is the time their parties, that Rene's family throw, start. Well after gifts, they put on "The Ring," man that movie was so hyped up by Van. Not that bad of a movie after watching it the second time. *Spoiler* And found out that not only do you have to make a copy but you also have to show someone the video, directly or indirectly i guess. Watched the deleted scenes, i think they should have added in the Blockbuster scene.

Memorable Moment #1: Wow nothing memorable happened today.

Life comes and goes, but it's the memories that last forever.

Memorable Moment #1 (Tuesday): After working out with Jack, we went to Jamba Juice. I tried the Jamba Powerboost, it was pretty good, i think i now have another drink to choose from than the Banana Berry I normally choose. While heading to my car, Jack and I witnessed a hit-n-run. The van was getting out of his/her parking space and turned too soon and ripped off the bumper of the park car next to it. Was pretty bad. And the funny thing was there were hella cops around the area too.

Memorable Moment #2 (Tuesday): Got the new Linkin Park cd, and it is pretty good, not as great as the first one. As Jack says there is no song as great as "In The End" but the one thing about this album i like is "Faint." I must say there is no song on "Hybrid Theory" as rocking as that song. Song just rocks.

Life comes and goes, but it's the memories that last forever.

Memorable Moment #1: So the people at work like my shaved head. Most of them said it looks clean and professional. Man Americans are so different from Asians.

Life comes and goes, but it's the memories that last forever.

Memorable Moment #1 (Saturday): Watched "Dreamcatcher", pretty good movie, scary at times, suspenseful at time, funny at times. So all in all a good movie. But the main reason Jack and I watched the movie was for the animatrix, which was pretty cool. After the movie, Jack and I went to the Cheesecake Factory for some dinner. I had the cajun rib eye, which was alright, but then i ordered my strawberry shortcake. MMMM so good. On the ride home, Jack called me a date whore, i was extremely hurt.

Life comes and goes, but it's the memories that last forever.

Memorable Moment #1: Had a nice hour long telephone conversation with Nga. Called her yesterday to congratulate her on graduating college. We talked about all sorts of things, traveling, accounting, tax, shopping (hehe), friends, school, just a lot of stuff. I always liked talking to Nga, she brings something different to the table when we talk. I don't know what it is, but it is nice. Maybe it is cause she is in accounting too, but i don't know. We talked for about an hour, which made me not study for my exam today.

Memorable Moment #2: Failed my exam.

Memorable Moment #3: Went out with Anthony, haven't seen him in awhile. He just got back from Austrailia, man everyone seems to be traveling, wish i could. We went to eat at Kazoo, good sushi but not much variety this time. Afterwards we went to watch "Old School," was a pretty funny movie but nothing spectacular. But then again what can you actually expect from a movie like that, those movies you just go to have a good time, which it provided.

Life comes and goes, but it's the memories that last forever.

Memorable Moment #1: Attended Dr. Fried's memorial today. Was a nice service, a lot of tears, a lot of laughter. Amazing how many students Dr. Fried touched. Like I said in my prior post, he truly will be missed.

Memorable Moment #2: Man watching the news and those anti war protestors are annoying me even more now. Pulling out newspaper stands and putting them on the street. Like shiet man, what did the public do to you. Getting in people's way. Should just take a whole bunch of them and send them to Iraq and place them in front of a missle. So annoying. Still think it is pointless to protest here or anywhere other than Washington D.C. or Iraq.

Memorable Moment #3: Shaved my head. Nothing else to do on a Thursday.

Life comes and goes, but it's the memories that last forever.

*Thought my closing was stupid and boring.

Memorable Moment #1: This is more of a memorable moment to the world than my own, today (Wednesday, 03-19-2003) the United States began war with Iraq once again. Currently I have no opinion on wether this war is justified or not, I see the pros and cons of the war. But if i were to choose a side i would lean towards pro war, cause of the fear of what could be. Which brings me to a question Jack asked in one of his post a couple days back. Should we as a people give up the present in order to preserve the future, or should we give up the future in order to maintain the present? After thinking about that question, i would answer give up the present in order to preserve the future. Cause how i see it, the present is not grim or bleak, while the future is unknown, and if we as a people are given the choice to somehow make that future more known, then God willing we do what we can.

What I realized that I am bothered by today about this war, is how it has brought out anti war demonstrators. I watched on the news the other day, the day after Bush gave Saddam his ultimatium, how demonstrators were sitting in the middle of the streets in San Fran in protest to the war. I just found this to be ridculous. I understand the anti war stance and i understand people demonstrating what they believe in, but come on now. If you want to protest the war do it in a place that will make a difference, Washington D.C. Not San Fran, who are you going to reach in San Fran. Like shiet if you are so against the war, fly to Washington D.C. or even Iraq and do your protesting there, There is nothing in San Fran that can help stop this war, so get out of the publics way. I don't see why the public has to suffer from demonstrator views when they are trying to reach the heads of politicians. And i don't see why the protestors cannot go to Washington D.C. to protest, they obviously have enough time to sit in the middle of the street, in the middle of the day to protest so they must be ass backwards in money and time. So as the commentator on ABC's Primetime, John Stalso (sp?) says Give Me A Break.

Thanks for reading Nam's memorable moments, here's to hoping yours are more memorable than mine.

Memorable Moment #1: I usually take Alvin to get onto 101 from Tully on Tuesday and Thursday, but prior days made me believe that just taking Tully straight would be faster since I usually get there close to 9, when traffic has died down. So today I decide to take Tully, and what happens? Freaking takes me forever to get on the freeway. Probably 5 rounds of the light turning green went by, by the time i finally got on. See what happens when you do things out of your normal routine.

I like to take a moment of silence for my professor, Dr. Alan Fried. Though i only knew Dr. Fried this semester, i believe he was one of the nicest professors i've had the pleasure of taking. His death took me by surprise today, and just drained me of all my energy. At this time, though he will never read this, i would like to say thank you Dr. Fried for teaching me what you did. You will truly be missed. Farewell Dr. Fried

Memorable Moment #1: Woke up to find that I finally dled the new Atomic Kitten video (so Jack this is letting you know i have it and that i am not holding out). Video is pretty damn good, triple Tash at the same time, only off set by seeing triple Ugly. But life is about balance so eh.

Memorable Moment #2: Needed to get out of the house cause mom was cleaning the house. Hate it when she cleans the house, gets all pissy. So i left to go to Valley Fair. Once there i got myself some new clothes. I like most of them, but now that i look at them, i wonder why i got this one shirt. I think i will return it tomorrow.

Memorable Moment #1 (Thursday): Met with RnR and Sean "John" to discuss the REA diagram due in class tomorrow (Friday). Went by pretty quick, for some reason i was expecting it to take longer. Guess we know our shit pretty good. We cracked a few jokes about each other every now and then, guess that is the way we are together. Afterwards RnR and I went to eat. Man i ate a lot.

Memorable Moment #1 (Wednesday): Had lunch with Tham today, picked her up at work and went to this near by Greek restuarant. We both had the beef and lamb gyro with humus dip. Was pretty good, didn't care for the humus dip. Told Tham about my bad Linh encounter from the other day, but when are my encounters with Linh ever pleasant. Man that chick is such a bitch.

Memorable Moment #2 (Wednesday): So I visited Jack's website, and read his latest post. The post, as i would say, was sad but true. And much like Jack i too am burned out, probably for the last two years. My life is much like my muscles, withering away from the lack of activity. I feel "joyment" is missing from my life, and the joyment i do receive is far and few. Not nearly enough to give my life any significant meaning. Reading the part about myself was quite sad, but recently i have been trying to spend time on my alternative life style. And exploring this side of my life i feel i can't really "explore" with my current friends, seeing how they do not live the life i live. Now don't take this wrong, it is not i don't want to live this life with you guys, it is just i feel i need to do this on my own. But all in all, that is no excuse, in not spending time with my friends. After reading Jack's post, i wondered when was the last time we all went out together, and could not remember. Pung has been going to Tahoe every weekend, Ky spends time with his girlfriend, I mostly just play tennis, and Jack seems to work on his school work (but i guess that last statement is not true). Now i am face with a decision, should we all get together and hang out like old time, but by doing so it seems like some kind of pity get together. Forced by Jack's post. And that is a feeling that doesn't flow well with me, but at the same time i think it might be fun. But i will leave that be, and see if anyone else will take the initiative and set something up. Cause the past times when i tried, things did not follow through.

Memorable Moment #1: In my Adv 124 class, Copywriting, we had to make a slogan for our Agency product. Prior to thinking of a slogan we had to make a list of key words or phrases that apply to our business objective. Well anyway one of my group members thinks of the slogan "A promise you can ride on." Cause we chose the business objective of establishing credibility. Well we presented this and the class thought it was an excellent idea.

Memorable Moment #2: Just cause i am playing with the Martina Hingis raquet, i should not think i will start playing like Martina Hingis. Hehe. So far it is a pretty good raquet but i have only played with it once. We will see how well it is as i play more with it.

Memorable Moment #1: Caught the last 10 mins of some Batman (1970's) reunion movie. Freaking hilarious. The actors were playing themselves apparently and the bad guys wanted to get back at Adam West and the guy who played Robin, Burt Ward i think is his name.

Memorable Moment #1: Went out with Jack to buy himself a 700 dollar Epson printer. All i got to say is CRAZY! But the printer looks nice.

Memorable Moment #2: After eating with Kim, Kim showed me this website of one of Jimmy Tran's friends. Apparently Jimmy has joined a dance group, and on the website was a pictures of them dancing in the middle of the street, in a bart waiting station, and even in a bart train. So of course Kim and I have a good laugh about it all. And what is up with the girl looking like a man. Funny how in one pic she is the tallest one. Freaking scary. As Ky would say, "She looks like a man, man."

So i am wondering why i have lost my drive to write in this blog. I am thinking it is just pure laziness, cause i still want to update, but the task of writing gets to me. So i am thinking of changing the format of this blog. So instead of writing about the details of my day, i think i may now write about the memorable moment(s) of the day. Yeah same principle but shorter. I think i will start today, since nothing really special happen this week anyway.

Memorable Moment #1: Got my new tennis bag, so now i don't gots to lug my ball hopper anymore or listen to that clanging noise in my car. So i played tennis for 4 hours, lets say my feet and ankle hurt.

Since i am going to start a new format, i might as well change my closing as well huh. Thanks for reading Nam's memorable moments, here's to hoping yours are more memorable than mine.
