So today was full of much activity for Nam Tong. So here we go.

In the morning I picked up my buddy, Shin from the airport. I was excited and anxious to finally see Shin again. Excited because my buddy was coming home, having not been able to hang out with him for three weeks provided some dreary nights. Anxious because I wanted to see if I was truly over Shin, because as the days went by I found myself not having the strong feelings I had prior to his departure. I was filled with so much emotion, that I woke up earlier than my set alarm because I wanted to see Shin. So come 11 and shin walks out of the International Arrival building and to my surprise no feelings emerged. I could finally look at Shin and not melt or fall in love with him. As glad as that makes me that I can finally move on, it does sadden me a bit. It saddens that my feelings that were so strong weeks prior have dissipated. It makes me wonder will I never be happy with anyone because I will easily get bored once the relationship has reached a certain point. I don't know but only time will tell. But in the end of this part of my day, I will say I am glad Shin is back home. I missed him.

Today at Renelynn's house, they celebrated Duc's birthday. Rene called me yesterday informing me they were throwing a surprise bday party for him. I asked her "Wasn't Duc's bday Jan. 1st?" She then informs me that all his paper work say he was born on Jan 15th. Very odd, how I have lived my whole life thinking my brother's bday was Jan. 1st when in actuality it is Jan 15. Shows you how much I know about my sibling lives. So I get to Rene's house around 5 to eat some free food and to celebrate my brother's bday. Rene gave me a tour of the house, cause the last time I saw it was not furnished. I must say they did a spectacular job in decorating the house. It was a nice get together. By 6 I was out of the house to go watch the Shark's game.

Tonight I got to watch the Sharks play against the Vancouver Canucks. I acquired these tickets by my friend, Brian. Brian and I have been chatting online a lot lately and so I agreed to go watch the game with him. One I wanted to meet Brian in person, and two who can resist a free ticket. So after Duc's bday I head over to pick up Brian. The game had an interesting first period but after that it slowed down for me. Not much happened after the first. The third period had its moments but nothing compared to the first. The evening was quite pleasant, first time watching a hockey game filled with pleasant conversations every now and then. So after the game, I drive Brian home and my Jan 15th came to an end.

So what I thought would be one boring ass Saturday because all my friends had plans except for me, became one kick ass Saturday. Pung and Kim were off skiing/snowboarding, Jack and them were off to see Chris Rock, and I was all alone with no one to go out with. So around 11 I got onto my site and found this guy who was looking for a tennis partner, but he lived in SF. I messaged him anyway cause I always enjoy chatting with people who play tennis especially if they are gay. So we started talking, next thing you know I told him I was going up there to hit some balls with him. Yeah I know it seems drastic for someone to go all the way to SF to play tennis but hey it is me. So I get there and on the way there I am like hot damn this is a nice neighborhood. Going up hills and stuff was just nice. Finally get to his place and we go in his car to the courts. We first drop by a local park where all the courts are taken, so then we headed off to courts by the Castro. Nice courts. So we finally get courts around 4:30 and we didn't leave till 6:30. It was fun playing and being in the Castro. First played doubles where my partner and I lost bad, 2-6 2-6. I hate doubles. Later on I played singles with my friend, Louie, and beat me 6-2. That was nice but he is a lower skill level than me. After tennis we went back to his place, where he freshen up. Man he has a hella nice view from his condo, I was so envious, I want to move in. He showed me around his place, quite nice, then she showed me his partner's brother, fucking hot. I want some of that shit. So he is done freshening up, and it is off to Castro to have dinner. We eat at this Chinese restaurant and it is pretty damn good. I think Kim would enjoy it. After the dinner, we walk around the Castro and he shows me around. Throughout this whole day, Louie and I make pleasant conversation. It was truly nice to meet someone like Louie, nice guy. So after walking around Castro we head back to his place where we say our good-byes. And off home I went. I wish I had brought extra clothes, could have gone out clubbing since I was there. But oh well. It was a fun day none the less.

It is odd, how a place like Castro can make me feel so comfortable. A place I hardly go to, I hardly know, I feel so comfortable. I guess it is the fact I am with my "people." But still it is an odd feeling, I feel ME. I don't feel I am holding anything back.

Just hilarious, I don't know why.

So once again another year has passed and I must say 2003 will be one to remember. First I will talk about my New Years Eve day, followed by what was so grand about 2003.

NEW YEARS EVE:

The day started off pretty boring, staying at home doing nothing. Playing video games, watching DVD's, taking a nap. Watched the MTV New Years Bash live actually cause of my eastern time cable. Pretty boring stuff. Then Jack came over and had a better time, then called Kim at Midnight to wish her a happy new years and bday. We ended up getting together for some late night dining at our local Denny's. It was a pleasant dinner. Something about starting the new year with two of my most loved friends seems to be a good start. Here is to hoping 2004 will be as progressive as 2003.

2003 as a whole:

So 2003 has come and gone but not without its ups and downs. But nonetheless I consider 2003 a year of great progression. I started off the year making the a resolution that I would be more "gay" and try to live a more "gay" oriented life. And I feel I have accomplished this, I experience my first gay "relationship" my first gay sexual experience" and have somewhat of a "gay" network of friends. 2003 brought an end to a friendship but also brought the beginning of a new one. For those of you who know me you should know who belongs where.

So to 2004 may you bring more happiness than 2003. Already an event that will change my life has been set for 2004 and that is my college graduation. But what else lies within this year, here is to hoping more good than bad.

Good-bye 2003, Hello 2004!!!!!
