Memorable Moment #1: Jennifer brother's girlfriend, Thu, decided to throw a surprise clubbing outting for Jennifer's bday. So Jack and I went clubbing last night at Club Cabana. It was fun, i had a blast. Only problem was that the club played majority hip-hop, which i can't dance to very well. I need more beats. Took a couple of shots with Jennifer, which was fun. I enjoy taking shots with friends, it is like a some wierd form of bonding. Like always at a club you see familiar faces, probably saw 7-12 people. Stupid SCU law students, take up the top floor. Not much people danced at this club, not like Wild when i went. But oh well, still had a blast. Next time i go clubbing i am going to wear my shades and bump into everyone cause i won't be able to see shiet.

Memorable Moment #2: Finally got my mp3 player. So freaking awesome, i love it.

Memorable Moment #3: Got my 2 new Prince AirSticks. Awesome. Going to sell one on Ebay and make a $20+ profit. Finally popped my More Game strings, damn crappy ass NXT Max strings.

Memorable Moment #4: First day of Summer Break, felt so good not waking up to an alarm and worrying about class. Such a weight off my shoulder.

Detroit What!!!

Memorable Moment #1: Took my Tax Final today. Boy did that make me brain dead, ran a red light and didn't even notice. Final was kind of hard, but then again i think i did pretty well for not having read a single page. Good thing for open notes. One more final to go, damn Kwan.

Memorable Moment #2: Played doubles, won the first set 6-1, and the second set was 6-6 when one of the guys had to go. Held serve, didn't get broken once, pretty good. Oh and it was damn hot today.

Detroit What!!!

Memorable Moment #1: Played tennis in the morning, played doubles with William, his daughter and some Indian dude. I teamed up with William and William's daughter was partnered up with the Indian dude. William and I lost the first set 8-10, but won the second set 6-4. That was fun, but i was off (like always).

Memorable Moment #2: Man anticipating Mandy's new album so bad. Here is a little clip of Mandy talking about her new album. Then there is Mandy's new movie coming out this summer, the trailer makes me want to watch it bad. Here is the trailer. Here is the movie's website.

Memorable Moment #3: Celebrated Jennifer Trinh's bday, with a dinner at Rock Bottom. My food was very good, but the company was awesome. Finally met Jennifer's imaginary boyfriend. Nice conversations throughout the dinner, lots of talk about doing stuff together. And i hope we do all of them, but things don't tend to work out as we planned. So who knows, but if they do i think it would be a blast.

Time to study (Yeah Right). Detroit What!!!

Memorable Moment#1: Wow haven't updated in almost a week. So consumed with school, finals week. What has happen? Well went to see Michelle Branch perform last night in San Francisco. That was nice and intimate, only problem was she made us wait an hour and 15 mins. Man was my back hurting afterwards and my feet. Some of her new material was really good, some i didn't care for. Got this cool blue lit necklace. Wearing it right now Jack (at work).

Memorable Moment #2: Finally strung my More Game racquet, and man was that a pain on my fingers. I couldn't wait for the recommended strings so i thought i used the extra NXT max strings. Boy was that a mistake, 15 gauge strings were not made for my more game racquet. Now after playing with it i wish they would pop already.

Memorable Moment #3: Finally beat Thinh in a set. 6-3. I am amazed i even closed it out at 5-3. I usually get broken. Finally learned how to return Thinh's serve.

Memorable Moment #4: Kwan is a bitch, Chang is an awesome professor, and my two advertising finals were not as easy as i expected.

Memorable Moment #5: Watched Identity, and thought it was an interesting movie. Nothing more i can say than that.

Detroit What!!!

Memorable Moment #1: Took the last exam in Bus 120C, open book open notes. So you know what that means, no studying. I think i did decent but everytime i think i do decent i do horrible. We will just have to see.

Memorable Moment #2: Look at what I found.

Memorable Moment #3: Played tennis with Du Thai and Bao. Finally popped my Triad strings, surprising broke at the crosses. Damn good thing i am demoing racquets cause as of right now i have no racquet with strings. So lazy to string any of them.

Detroit What!!!

Memorable Moment #1: I always wondered how fast do the bad drivers come out when the rain starts coming down. Well apparently the bad driving starts instantanously. My gosh, it wasn't even raining that hard, and people started driving bad. One guy switched into my lane before the rain started. After passing two cars, the dumbass wanted to get back into the lane he switched out of. By this time the rain started and the dumbass apparently forgot how to switch lanes, cause he took forever to get back in. All braking and shiet what a dumbass. GET OFF THE ROAD BAD DRIVERS. Telling you somehow the rain tapes into people's stupidity.

Memorable Moment #2: Tired of losing. So very tired.

Memorable Moment #3: Watched the final episode available for download on the animatrix. Was pretty cool, dumb humans deserve what they got if you ask me. But man those robots were ruthless, so gorey (is that a word).

Detroit What!!!

Memorable Moment #1: Well apparently i am suffering from a lack of sleep. Wherever i was today, i found myself dozing off. First it hit me in my first class, then at work, then my Copywriting class, then my last class. Man every class except for Adv 126 but there was really no class today. Probably would have dozed off if there was a class.

Detroit What!!!

Memorable Moment #1: Played tennis with Thinh after work. Man can never win but so far our matches have been close. Only one service break decides who wins. But apparently it is my serve that gets broken. Stupid serve always fails on me. So close, 4-6 3-6. I want to win, but i just can't seem to win. And freaking the AirStick racquet popped on me before we started playing our match. Had to use the AirDrive, which is good and all but just doesn't feel comfortable to my game. Well on the bright side i still got my one ace per match.

Detroit What!!!

Memorable Moment #1: Checked my mail at work, and read the memo regarding budget cuts. I am safe, till Fall. So that is good. This new birth year is starting very well. Spend the first two days with friends, and today found out i am not being laid off.

Memorable Moment #2: Presented our switch pitch in Copywriting class. I personally didn't think our group did a very good job in distinguishing how we changed the product. I thought the teacher was going to tell us we didn't change much. But to my suprise after our presentation he said we did a great job. Said it was quick, and forward. I felt like i was on American Idol, hearing the judge's critiques. But i am starting to think my teacher really likes our group, cause he always mentions how well we do.

Memorable Moment #3: Came home to find i have received my latest demo racquets. Hehe that is right i am demoing more racquets but this time it was for free. I told the store that two of the three racquets i demoed last time popped within days of delivery so they let me demo some other racquets. So this time i demoed the AirStick and the AirDrive. I thought i would like the AirDrive more but the AirStick is more suitable for my game. When i got to the courts today, i played with Huey and damn i was hitting pretty good again. Looks like i will be having a run of hitting well, followed by a period of crappiness. After Huey left, i played with Thinh. We played a set and of course we all know the results of that match. If you haven't guess, i lost 5-7. Maybe tomorrow i will beat him, when conditions are better hopefully. Here is to hoping it doesn't rain.

Detroit What!!!

Memorable Moment #1: Went to Great Mall with Niles, cause he wanted to get Sega Tennis for the PS2. When i picked him up he gave me a birthday gift. I was quite surprised that he actually got me something. What a nice kid. Too bad he sucks at tennis, maybe he will be good at tennis in video games. HAHA.

Memorable Moment #2: How many people get to celebrate their birthday twice? Well i did. Today my family wanted to throw a birthday get together for me, so they did. I invited Jack, Tham, Van, Kim, and Ky to my house for some food my mom got. It was fun, spending time with friends again. My sister brought her new boyfriend, Rich. Nice guy, so typically white. Got more presents which is always good. Time to go shopping i guess.

Memorable Moment #3: Went to play tennis at 5. Man i was hitting hella good today, like a god some would say. Haha no i kid. But the way i was playing today made me want to keep my Triad. Wonder what price i should sell it to Du?

Memorable Moment #4: Went over to Jennifer Rubio's place to work on the media plan. Man that cd is stupid. The number crunching is pointless. Would explain it here but you (the reader) wouldn't understand, you have to see it just to understand.

I am tired of Blogger being down when i want to update.

Memorable Moment #1 (Saturday): Well as many of you may know it was my birthday yesterday. And i had such a great time spending time with my friends. Though lunch started much later than expected and many of my friends had to go home cause of the time, i still had a blast. Damn cheesecake factory for giving me wrong information, and damn the rain. It's wierd I am 22 now, but don't feel my age. But then i think what does that line mean, "I don't feel my age?" How can one "feel" their age? And what is 22 suppose to feel? Ah the questions that come with age, and the answers that will soon follow. Life. Funny how i feel that 22 is young and old at the same time. I guess it depends on where i am during the day. If i was at work or playing tennis with the old asian men, i feel so young and that life hasn't even really started. But when i am playing tennis with the younger kids, i feel so very old and that life is slipping away from me. The only time i do not feel either is when i am with my friends. But then all these feelings you would expect, older people make me feel young cause i am younger than them, older with the younger kids cause that is what i am to them, older. And my friends are my age so how can i feel either. 22 "Snake eyes with glass."

Memorable Moment #2: After cheesecake factory, when i got home, i received this small package. It was from the radio survey i agreed to on the phone the other day. They told me there would be a gift package. So i opened it and it turns out each survey had 3 bucks in it, all crisp new dollar bills. The letter informed me to give all individuals the package and gift. My thinking is bullshit, i am the one who agreed that is my money. And it is my birthday so HA. So got 5 surveys with 3 bucks each, you do the math. 20 bucks in my pocket YEAH!!!

Memorable Moment #3: Since i decided to celebrate my birthday during lunch, we decided to watch X2 at 9:20pm. I thought it was pretty good, nice story, nice action. Just hate how they make Rogue such a pussy. Stupid Robert you did spoil the ending for me, telling me Jean Grey dies. You little bitch. But i don't get it, the feds were in it all this time. Wait, damn that line somewhat works for this movie. Oh well. After words Kim, Jack, and I went to Chinese whore cafe like always. And the day of my birth came to an end. But it ended with the two people i love the most outside my family.

Detroit What!!! (I am 22 that is what Detroit.)

Memorable Moment #1 (Friday): Finally did well on one of my Bus 120C exams. I haven't gotten an A on a test in awhile, felt so good. 51/55. So of course i had to rub it in Robert's face, damn so evil ain't i. Couldn't take down Sean though, damn guy got a 53. Man not sure about next week's exam, that is going to be tough.

Detroit What!!!

Blogger.com was down so i couldn't update.

Memorable Moment #1: Come to work today, with a pamplet for some office job for the Costa County Water District. The job was to be a receptionist for the Finance Department. Only problem was that it is a full time job, but it is a city job. Also the job is in Concord, kind of far for a job, but maybe i might meet someone there, everyone else has. Van and Binh both found someone there. I wonder if that was a sign that i was going to get laid off, because the co-worker who put it on my desk thought it was the water bill i am in charge of. Is this a sign?

Memorable Moment #2: Played some tennis today and of course lost a game I played with some guy. Was hitting terrible against him. During play i noticed some guy come to the courts who looked like Thinh Ngo. After being fustrated with the way i was hitting i quit and went over to watch Niles, and Thinh, it was Thinh, play doubles against David and Yen. Young vs. Old. During their match Thou came around so i thought i hit with him, because i like the way he plays. He doesn't play like most old asian men, consistant and boring. While i was hitting with him, man i was whacking that ball good. Made me feel a lot better about my tennis strokes.

Yesterday was a pretty memorable day, but because i was dead tired after school, i just ate and went to sleep when i got home. So here i am at work updating my blog.

Memorable Moment #1 (Wednesday): Well news of layoffs are spreading, and knowing my luck i probably will get the boot. Time to look for another job, but damn where am i going to get a job like this one.

Memorable Moment #2: Well in Copywriting class today, group presentations were going on. My group was hoping we didn't have to present today cause we didn't do any transparencies. And to our luck, we didn't present. But the group that did present, were the advertising geniuses, and once again they proved to be the best. Man freaking geniuses i say, geniuses.

Memorable Moment #3: Even though i didn't present in my Copywriting class, i had to present in my Bus 188 class, this i could not avoid. Going into the presentation i had no idea what i was going to say, i was just going to look at my slides and just say whatever came out of the top of my head about the subject. Man i forgot how badly some people present in front of a class. The majority of presentations, people were just reading straight off papers, flash cards, or just reading the screen. No eye contact what so ever. But of course my part of the presentation was the best, and Sean did a good job too. Not too sure about Mandeep's and Michelle's part, reading straight from a paper. Tsk tsk tsk. The presentation on Sun Microsystems was pretty good, the girl in the group, Kim, was hella adorable and she is cute too. But the person who took the stage in that group was a guy named Sal, but that is probably cause he works in Sun so he knows that company inside out.
