- Well I guess I should update this thing, since it has been awhile. Where to start. How about school. School school school what can I say about school. Let me sum it up in one sentence. I wish I was graduating already.

- Saturday, August 30. Went to Castro with Anthony, and I had such a blast. Only awkward moment was when Anthony informed me that he thought I was hot and was hoping something would come of that. As much as I like hanging out with Anthony, I limit the amount I do, because I can do so much with him. But once that odd moment passed it was fun the rest of the night. Castro is so cool, but then again being gay helps with that. We jump from bar to bar, each time getting a round of drinks. Anthony is a beer guy, I am a shot guy. My one regret of the night would have to be ordering a corona, why oh why did I order that. Absolutely dreaded finishing that thing. So after 4-5 bars, I convinced Anthony to go to a club, cause I felt getting my groove on. So went to a club, with a two dollar entrance fee. Damn more reason to go to a gay club. Had a blast inside, great music. At the end of the club adventure they played Atomic Kitten - Love Doesn't Have To Hurt, then Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head, followed by Christina Aguilera - Dirrty. What an awesome sequence of songs. Oh yeah there is another regret, I wish I didn't allow the things I allowed during the course of the night. I won't go into details but might have lead things on, but I informed Anthony other wise. So lets hope he got my point, and that my words were actually louder than my actions. Castro rocks, being gay rocks.

- Friday, Sept 5. So this past Friday was probably one of the best days I have had in quite a long time. It started off going to the dealership to get my moon roof fixed, but in the end didn't. Reason being is the dealership needed my car for several days, and I absolutely needed my car this day, so I had to reschedule. So headed home where I cleaned my room and did laundry, and watch some tennis. Watching tennis is never a bad thing. Finally 5 hit and it was time for me to get ready for my outing with prospect (Shin). So got ready and off I was to pick up my new friend. Got to his house to be introduced to his ex/roommate. And shin was right he is not my type, big and hairy. But talking to him, he is quite the nice guy, too bad I am so vain. So chatted at Shin's place for a bit and finally we were on our way. Had to drop by school first so Shin could pick up some stuff from his locker. We walked around school for a bit, by walking around I mean walking to his locker and back to my car. But I always thought about walking around school with someone during that time of day, so serene. So after SJSU, we headed out to Hollywood video, because I thought I rent event horizon for Shin to watch. Told him it was a pretty scary movie. But instead I rented "Igby Goes Down" (still have yet to watch it). Decided not to rent "Event Horizon" because Shin had already brought two Jap horror flicks, so we decided that should fulfill enough of our time. Now it was off to my house, where fortunately for me no one was home. So Shin and I were alone in my house for a good portion of our time together. We decided to watch Shin's Japanese horror flick first, Juon. All I will say is what the fuck was that. Talk about Le Divorce not having a point, watch Juon. It was pretty decent though, but Shin kept cracking up during the movie. Kind of lost its scary feeling because of that. Once that movie was completed there were two choices, watch part 2 of Juon or watch something else. I voted to watch something else because I didn't want Shin just watching movies he has seen several times. So I put on Jeepers Creepers 1 on my computer, because he saw part 2 but hadn't seen part 1. I fortunately dled a DVD version of the movie several days earlier (weird why I did that), so I put that on. I turned off the lights in my room so the movie was more viewable. Man part 1 is a lot better than part 2. Shin thought so as well. This time around Shin did not crack up laughing. So the creepiness of the movie remained intact. Afterwards we headed off to go eat. It was a nice dinner other than the fact we had lousy chairs. After dinner, I was going to drive Shin home, but prior to that Shin's roommate, Mike, said to call before heading home. So Shin did, where Mike informed us not to head there yet, that he needed 10-15 mins. Hmmm wondered why? Shin and I had a good laugh at the possibilities. So I decided to just drive around killing time. 10 mins later Mike calls saying that the guy is in the shower and that he needs 10 more mins. Shin and I start laughing at the thought. So several mins later Mike calls saying it is good to come by. So I drive Shin home, and hang at Shin's place for a bit. Basically stayed there for around 30 mins talking. Shin showed me his art work, pretty interesting stuff, a lot of nudes. We also caught an episode of Ex-treme dating. Incredibly stupid show. After the show I decided it was time for me to leave, it was late and Shin was tired. So my outing with my new friend came to an end, and Prospect is now just a friend.

My great day didn't end there; when I got home I browsed my usual sites where I got to see the new Mandy Moore video. Freaking awesome, she is so gorgeous, man. After that I found a link to listen to the new Sarah McLachlan single. Quite a lovely song. So all of that made quite an excellent day for Nam Tong. Here is to hoping many more like these days follow.

- Saturday, Sept 6. Day started off with a group meeting at the new library. Damn the library is nice. Group meeting was fun, always a blast working with Sean, Robert, and Valerie. We goof around way too much, but at the same time get our shit done. After the group meeting I decided to drop by Valley Fair. After 5 mins of walking around Kim calls and I told her to meet me there since she seem like she needed something to do. So we walked around the mall, got nothing because I saw nothing. Walked Nordstrom a little bit while waiting for Kim, hoping my friend would spot me (don't know how he looks like) and maybe chat with me. But to no avail. While in the Gap, Pak calls to ask if we wanted to go drinking tonight. So I was down and so was Kim, so a night of drinking was established. After the mall, went to eat at Krung Thai. Mmmm good food. So night came and it was off drinking we went. First dropped by Gordon Birsh (sp), cause So and Ky were hungry. Who else would be? I ordered a Raspberry Ice Tea; they should call it bunch of alcohol mixed together. I did not like it at all. So I swapped it with Pak's drink which was good till all the alcohol settled in. Then it got nasty. So switched with Jack, and finished off his San Fran lemonade. After Gordon, we were off to find Britannia Arms. Damn Pak not knowing, walked around aimlessly for nothing. So we ended up at the white joint, San Jose Bar and Grill. There had three rounds with Pak and Emily. After that was the end of our night of drinking. Didn't get buzzed or anything. But probably for the best, health wise. Damn my ignorant behavior. Why do I enjoy drinking so much, and why must I have this liver problem. Must be part of God's master balance plan. Guess he knew I like to drink, so for me to be kept in check he gave me my liver problem.

And that is a quick recap of my life since my last update. So fun.
