YO WUT UP MAH NIGGAZ?! AHHHHHH!!!!! MUAHAHAHAH!!!! I'M FREE!!!! FREE AT LAST!!!! YAY!!!!!! okay had to get that outta my system. yep today was my very LAST day in high skool. pretty special huh? yeah well my mom tells me i am too. anyways, i took my math and english final today. i owned the english final, but math....*sigh* let's just say we don't get along. it's like if we were classmates in kindergarten, i'd be 'the kid who runs with scissors' and then i'd run straight into 'math', my kindergarten classmate. yep, we just don't get along. hehe. so i took forever on my math final (i had to stay after the bell to finish) and when i was turning in my test, my teacher kinda gives me a little farewell. it went something like, "well dexter, it was great having you in my class. even though we didn't talk that much i'll always remember you as the kid who was late everyday.' hehe great so for the rest of my life i will be known as 'the kid who was late everyday' to my sr. math teacher. oh well, it's all good. it's cuz i'm chinese. then business internship we all sat around and did nothing except play tic-tac-toe and that dot-connecting game on the board. as for english, i took the final and everyone wanted to sit next to me cuz i'm the smartest kid in class and they like to cheat, but that didn't happen cuz i let the inner-jew out in me and covered my paper like spandex on j-lo's ghetto aaaaas....booty. so yeah skool got out and it was exhilirating (did i spell that right?). i ran around and skipped and pranced like a skoolgirl...well not really, but taking in all those thoughts of "i'm never going to have to come here again" or "this is the last time i'll be walking out of that class" etc. yeah hardcore stuff. wow, so to all you kids still in skool, enjoy it while you can cuz before you know it, it's all over. even though it may seem like agony as you work, work, work your days away (well...some of you), in the end you'll always think, "i should've done this or i should've done that." so go all out, join a club, sports team, get active! or at least just get credit for being in the clubs & sports teams and cheat the system *evil snicker* well, hopefully tonight is badass, but knowing those chinese people it'll take them an hour to decide where to go and another hour to get there. *sigh* why must they be so unorganized? anyways, i better go finish up some of the work i still haven't done yet. ~peace
song of the moment:
mxpx - "doing time", value pac - "graduation song", homegrown - "kids"

okay so i'm at work now and i'm making an attempt at doing multiple things at once aka 'multi-tasking.' so here we go: working, studying for finals, chatting on aim+, downloading mp3s off kazaalite, and of course eating. how do i manage? man, i just don't know. well today at work has been pretty productive in the sense that i stole more leftover food from a lunch meeting. man, i luv working here at srp. so lets go over what i managed to pilfer from earlier. it seems like they had an asian-themed lunch for that day as derived from the teriyaki chicken, mixed vegetables, rice, and 5 eggrolls that i managed to swipe. the funny thing is that while i was trying to be quiet and eat my food in my cubicle so that no one would catch me, a co-worker of mine's says, "mmmm what smells good?" and then walks into my cubicle and sees me eating it. luckily, he didn't care about it since he jacks food too ^_^ i'm just lucky they haven't caught onto this whole 'http-tunnel, kazaalite, aim+, emulator/rom'-ring on my computer cuz that'd be bad. anyways, i've been trying to study for my english final since i've been here. although, i'm not sure why since i can still get a 54% at the lowest on the final and still get an A in the class. however, math is a different story. i took the last chapter test today in an effort to bring my borderline B/A grade up to an A. it was really easy since everything was done in the calculator. dang, now i just remembered one of the problems on the test i forgot to label and she will mark me off for that. blast! there goes my perfect paper! oh well as long as it brings my grade up to an A. hehe i look to my left and on my desk i have all my english notes and review sheet scattered all over. oOo it looks like i've been hard at work studying up on my world literature. actually, i think i only looked at it for about 5-10min before i lost interest and went to jack some food. ai yah, well at least i still have tonight to study, but reminiscing on last night i only went over my notes for about 20 min before i got super bored and went to watch 'bernie mac.' hehe that's an awesome show. haKk guEi are sooo funny. anyways, i think i better go finish studying up on chaucer, swift, pope, and the rest of the enlightenment/rationalism-era.
funny link about muffins and their exploits i found
then there's big bunny which seemed kind of intriguing.
mmmm i'm almost done eating all five of my eggrolls. well i tried studying for english again, but that only lasted about 15 min or so until i felt the urge to get back on aim. then i have to study for math tonight cuz i pretty much have english down. that should be fun. last night i sat in my room, eating junk food, trying to keep myself in my room and study for today's final. that didn't last too long. so i went out to fry's cuz my sister had to get some crackers so i bought some sushi while i was there cuz i had this strange craving for raw fish. yeah i'm weird like that, but i'm sure you've all done weird stuff too.....weird-o's.
how well do you know mah nigga brian?
wow....hard to believe that i only have ONE MORE DAY OF SKOOL LEFT IN MY HIG SKOOL CAREER/PUBLIC SKOOL EDUCATION! amazing, well it's been a good 12-13 yrs. of my life. i remember the beginning when i was in kindergarten. man, i really miss those days. i wish i was a kid again. so carefree, but we can't be young forever sadly. i guess it's just time to move onto bigger and better things. *sigh* why must i stay in-state for college? i wanna go to cali! well i guess maybe jr year i can transfer to some uc skool as long as i have good grades, but until then i'll have to deal with az's heat, lack of GOOD asian food, and the limited amount of things to occupy my time with.
05.15.02
wait does anyone now if episode II comes out today or tomorrow? i'm not sure cuz i thought it'd come out on a wednesday, but i checked the 16th and it's a thursday and movies don't come out on thursday. a majority of the time it's released on a friday and on some occasions, wednesday. hmm this is weird. either way, i still won't get to see it opening day since it's sold out for a week or two i'm guessing. *bleh* stupid nerds hogging up all the theater space with their lack of real lives, jobs, family, friends, etc. oh well.
I GOT AIM TO WORK ON MY COMPUTER HERE AT WORK NOW!!!! hehehe fear me.
pull my finger
okay so i finalized the length as to which i will be in china. i'll be gone from may 25th to june 7th i think. we'll be going to beijing, shanghai, and fuzhou plus all the surrounding areas in those 3 cities. should be a fun trip. now for that cali trip. still need to figure out a date that everyone is available. wait nevermind, my dreams have been crushed just now as bobby has informed me that they planned on going from june 1st to june 9th....i'll be in china. oOo fun huh? well, it's all good. bobby listed some of people that were going and i decided that i didn't really want to go anymore, if you catch my drift.
you are a.....
skool today was the same as yesterday, we reviewed in class which meant that no one did anything. so during english i took the bathroom pass and went to the 'bathroom' as usual. went down to the cafeteria and saw the usual people and got them to sign el yearbook-o. yep i saw sam's yearbook later and this kid drew a comic in it. it was pretty funny cuz it made no sense whatsoever. man, i should draw a comic in someone's yearbook now!!!! oh well maybe later.
*yarrr* like a pirate, only 2 more days left of skool!
like aim? like my baby pics? check this out for a combination of the two.
so friday's my last day and i have yet to find a crazy, wild, young and dangerous thing to do for that night. that's sad. maybe i'll go beat up people i don't like. that always sounds good, but then there's this thing called the law which sux. speaking of 'the law' the pos stuck me with a traffic survival skool for my last ticket. i thought all i had to do was pay for the ticket and i'm done and i quote myself, "that was fucking gay. the law bites my ass. screw the speed limit stupid bastards. the day i drive the speed limit is the day everyone else does." so basically they're sticking me with this class which takes up a good portion of my saturday plus a 50 dollar fee.
=> speed limit, mvd (dmv), etc.

wow after taking about a buttload of tests i think i better get back to the hw i was doing earlier. i finished two of the three assignments so far and hopefully can get the last one done before i go home. funny thing is that i DON'T have to do this, but if i want that A in math(i have a borderline B), i better get crackin. plus, thursday i'm taking the 'optional' test so i better brush up on this chapter. however, it's pretty easy since all the work is done in the calculator. so on top of this math test, i have all of my finals this week, but i only have three finals so it's not that big of a deal. still i think i better be the studious chinese boy and study for them which means no gungfu for the rest of the week. well, once all the finals are over with....ai yah all i can say is that it's gonna get pretty crazy.
skool today was boring. during all my classes today, my teacher gave me time to review for the finals, but instead i just sat around and talked to people since i have all the time in the world to do it at work and home later this week. man, i wonder if i should even go to skool tomorrow cuz i know that's all we're gonna be doin again. review, review, review, but nobody reviews! jeez.
i've been trying to d/l all these movies here at work, but they keep getting interrupted somehow and they lose connection with the other person i'm d/l it from. it's gay. all four of the movies i've tried to d/l have yet to finish.

saturday's bbq pics are up. click here.
today's definition of suckiness: getting a raging nosebleed while you're trying to drive.
interesting thing happened to me on my way to work today. i was driving on chandler blvd headed towards price freeway and felt the urge to blow my nose. so i did and i guess tweaked something in my nose and i felt something drip down. i thought my nose was just runny again, but when i look at my hand it was bright red. this definitely was the first time these two very different events occurred at the same time. well, i tried reaching in the backseat for the box of tissues, but i skimmed the sidewalk. on the second attempt i managed to get a hold of the tissues. from then on, i jammed a big wad of tissues up my nose to plug up that leak. it must've been weird for all the other drivers looking at me. they see this chinese kid with a big wad of tissues up his nose, casually driving around like there was nothing wrong. well, the bleeding eventually stopped by the time i got onto the price freeway and from there it was smooth sailing.
well, i must say i had a pretty good weekend, tiring, but good. friday night was the graduation ceremony at church. except for a few minor things, the ceremony went off without a hitch. also, it was nice seeing all those old pics and getting a chance to hear from everyone. man, charlie's presentation was awesome. video clips, the background song ^_^, and all that other snazzy computer stuff that went into it just goes to show how much time and effort was put into it. after the whole ceremony, they did the refreshments-deal in the youth room and it was pretty chaotic in there. people everywhere doing their own thing and then there was food which didn't make for much orderliness in there especially when we tried getting a pic of all the graduating seniors. well, afterwards there was somewhat of a post-party thingy at....well as charlie put it "where life begins." a buttload of people showed up and we ordered like 130 wings. definitely some good times, even jim tai showed up! yep, it was pretty crazy seeing jim tai, not studying, out of the house on a friday night, driving all by himself, and without much of a curfew. frankly, i was shocked. anyways, i'm sure everyone had a good time that night. the next day, i had to wake up early (about 8) to help clean up the house and pool for the bbq and i didn't even get to finish cleaning the pool by the time everyone got there. so some people show up without 'proper swim attire' so they go out and get some. while they were away, the rest of us planned on getting them soaked. well, all goes well as bobby, david, and me rush out of the garage with a squirt gun and buckets of water as brian and matt keep the others 'busy.' hehe so tricky. after that everyone pretty much went swimming for a while and played a little 'chicken' and 'king of the hill' type stuff to pass the time. oh and let me add that phimus was the 'king of the hill' for the day. just as the pool festivities wrapped up, the meat was done barbecuing and lunch was on. mmm good stuff and as usual i ate like a pig. by this time, the capcom vs. snk crew already busted out the ps2 and started going at it, vying for dominanace and the right to proclaim themself "master of capcom vs snk." as for the others, there was the general 'hanging out and talking' going on. at this time, there was quite an interesting game of scrabble going on. the participants created such great words as "beefimanizer" and "ddr ho squad." mad props to you and your past english teachers for the wonderful grammer/vocabulary. by this time, things were dying down and people started leaving for as the old saying goes, "nothing lasts forever." so later on that night a group of us ruffians go to asu's mu to play some pool, but for the second week in a row, they were closed. well just as we always do when we're in the neighborhood, we go to e-ba. while there we see the most beautiful nsx!!! yeah i get a little overexcited when it comes to cars. anyways, there was a big group of unidentifiable asians. we all tried listening to the language they were speaking and it sounded kinda...*quack* but they didn't look like it at all and one of the drove an nsx!!!!...unless he stole it, but they all looked chinese so we were assuming that they were just chinese from some southeast asian country. afterwards, we took a walk up mill ave and saw some pretty nice import cars, but the ratio of good to ugly is about 5:1. by then it was about 11 or so and we decided to call it a night. so sunday was mother's day and i go to church as usual except i was almost an hour late for service where they were handing out small tokens of appreciation to the mothers in attendence. then sunday skool and then i went to dimsum at jade palace with the family. after lunch, i headed back to church for chinese skool, but i didn't have to go to class cuz i was helping out with the appreciation dinner. however, don't think that i got off easy, they put me to work in the kitchen doing just about everything you can from chopping vegetables and distributing boba in cups to mixing large vats of a meat-like substance. ~oi mucho work and it was hot and i was really tired by the time i was all done so the kitchen staff hooked me up with some food and then i booked outta there asap to go home and THAT was my 'pretty good' weekend.
05.10.02
well today i spent part of my afternoon trying to catch up on the current chinese music. well, it turns out that mc hotdog is getting kinda big. he's got a cd or two and is featured on a couple more compilations of some sort. then i ran across a HK band called "tat flip" who from what i've read are a band that has music similar to that of korn or rage against the machine. here's a picture of them and the funny thing is seeing a chinese guy wearing fubu. also, i've been listening to more edison chan as of now. i got a couple of his mp3s and they're pretty good except his mandarin is kinda sketchy, but that's okay, he's from canada and speaks cantonese so that's kinda like 2 strikes against him in the mandarin-speaking field. however, for a native-canto boy to have the balls to put out an entire cd in mandarin is admirable. it's not like he's the first one to do it, but it's still quite an accomplishment nonetheless. well throw in some more random jay chow mp3s and that about tops it for the chinese music lately. then since i d/l that edison chan cover of dj doc's "bounce with me" i tried checking out more dj doc stuff. unfortunately numerous attempts to d/l their mp3s were futile as ppl were being jewish with their mp3s and wouldn't let me d/l them or something having to do with the fact that i'm on a company computer. also, i checked out some sechskies and found one of their songs from pump "com'back" or something like that. fun fun fun, killing time at work like this.
i got my yearbook today and again i was disappointed with my senior pic. "not up to par" as i would say. that and it was taken at the beginning of last summer when i still put all my hair up. crazy, but at least my picture for the baby pictures section was okay. i've been getting a lot of responses on that lately. no comments or opinions, just the acknowledgement from people that they've seen my baby picture. strange how they only mention the fact that they have seen it and say nothing more. anyways, i left in the middle of 4th period on a "bathroom break" (again) to go get my yearbook instead of going after class during my lunchtime and waiting in some long line to pick it up. later on, i get to work and i skim through it for about an hour or so. another efficient use of time here, as usual.
here's a good pic to occupy your time with. it is entitled "chinese waterskiing":
i got on aa yesterday and i hadn't been on in a decent amount of time. yep, so calvin if you're reading this, it seems that we share similar duties or should i say "ways to kill time" at work. then there's all that other ghetto crap on there like...well if you've been on aa you know what i'm talking about.
so tonight is the graduation thingy at church. kinda daunting, yet at the same time kinda exciting. either way i'm anxious to not only see how it all turns out, but to get it over with cuz right now i got that nervous acid-burning feeling in my stomach right now anticipating this entire thing tonight. what sux though is that i can't go out tonight afterwards cuz my mom wants me to get home early and start cleaning the house for tomorrow's bbq. also, she figures that since i'm having that tomorrow, that i'll be occupied all day with things other than my chores or helping my dad with some odd jobs here and there. *bleh* i kinda wanna go out tonight still, but i understand my mom's decision and stuff. then i read charlie's blog and there's an after-party? aw dang and i'm gonna miss it. jeez! and it's at hooters!!! don't get me wrong, i'm not some sicko, pervert, weird guy, i just like the wings there. seriously. ppl always doubt me when i say that.
song of the moment:
edison chan - "angel"
funny how there are a couple good songs titled "angel." for example, sarina paris - "angel", slick shoes - "angel", and finally edison chan's - "angel"
05.09.02
yesterday at work, a funny thing occurred. a co-worker of mine's asks if i have enough work to do around here. i told him 'so-so' but the truth is that i have absolutely none whatsoever. i get some, but it'll take me a minute or two to finish and that's it. a couple minutes out of an entire four hours taken care of, but then there's the other 3 hrs and stuff of no work. *bleh* work makes me sleepy. i wish i had naptime instead. naptime is a billion times better than work except i don't get paid to take a nap which is pretty ghetto cuz that'd be great if i did get paid to nap. man....that'll be the day.
oh well it turns out that the awards ceremony thing i went to on monday night was for that scholarship i got to asu. basically, the skool compiled a list of all the ppl who won some sort of scholarship and then designated a night to honor the recipients. yeah a couple ppl were constantly being called up cuz they had like 5, 10, jus a buttload of scholarships. it was crazy. all i got was this dinky little asu certificate that said i got a scholarship from them. they didn't even use a whole sheet of paper. it was like a half a sheet. this girl next to me got a medal with her name engraved on it, boy i sure felt cool with my tiny half sheet of paper. oh well, at least i got something and i'm grateful for that cuz paying for skool is a foreign concept to me. you usually pay for something you want, but skool = *sigh* so it doesn't quite click unless you want to think 'in the long run.' either way, it's great to get free money for doing absolutely nothing, that includes applying cuz i didn't even do that. they just sent me something in the mail and said, "hey, we got some free scrilla for ya" and you know how i like getting free stuff.
i'm really hungry now, all i ate for a snack today was an apple. usually i have an apple and something else like a banana, but we ran outta bananas and i thought i had some sorta 'snack bar'-type thing in my backpack, but when i got to work and checked, it wasn't there, but no worries i'm leaving soon and will be fed at home. i've noticed lately that i'm constantly hungry. it's like i can't go for a couple hours without food.
bbq this weekend. should be pretty fun, but i still haven't gotten replies from some ppl. gotta hate that tardiness, procrastination, lameass reason as to why they haven't gotten back to me. it doesn't matter though, it's them who's missing out on some good, FREE food. jeez, how can you turn that down? what're you gay or something?
song of the moment:
edison chan - "angel"
been d/l numerous songs of his the past couple days and edison has actually got some pretty catchy tunes. plus, his english is pretty good for an asian pop star.
05.08.02
so i kinda redid the layout and i'm pretty happy with the outcome, but right now geocities is being a little bitch about me exceeding my 'allocated data transfer' and so my site can't be viewed for another hour. oh well, i guess that's what i get for using a free server. one day, i'll find something better, but for now the only reason i'm still with geocities is because i'm already familiar with it and just the overall convenience. so until i find something easier or just spend the time to get acquainted with other free server stuff then i'm just going to have to deal with geocities in all it's homosexual glory. so geocities, this ones for you:
this is great. i just found an edison chan song called "bounce with me." wait haven't i heard that from somewhere else? OH YEAH! cuz it's a DJ DOC song and it's on pump! kinda interesting how he redid it cuz once i started it i recognized the tune and i was like, "WTF?! KOREAN MUSIC?!" yep i like how asian artists not only rip stuff off american music, but each other. still, that doesn't mean it's a bad song so go d/l it now.
alright so the site is back up after an hour of 'downtime' cuz geocities is gay. anyways, a bunch of random crap occurred and some text wasn't displaying. tables are gay like geocities. the coding has to be so precise and that is so time consuming when you're looking for what is wrong with it.
05.06.02
monday, the start of another new week and i'm back at work, working hard. ha! yeah right. i've been reading newspapers and mailing stuff out for a half hour now. also, been d/l mp3s and other random junk as of now. haha i jus d/l a song yesterday by aaron kwok - "para para (sakura)" hehe it's so funny. it sounds like they got little kids in the background speaking canto and then aaron speaks japanese and english for the chorus and it sounds really funny. okay yeah i thought i'd jus share that w/ you.
tonight i have to go to some awards ceremony at skool. not too sure what it is though. all it says is that i won a 'gold' award or something like that. eh, we'll see.
see how much sleep you should get each night.
rufio's coming back on may 18th!!! YAY! they're playing with strung out and some other bands, but they're not headlining though. so far it's my sister, her friend, and me that are gonna go. more ppl should come though cuz rufio is an awesome band.
my 240sx is still on autotrader!!! now only if i had $10,500 laying around.
this weekend was pretty dopeassfly. let's see what went down: friday night i was trying to get my work done at the last minute cuz i put it off till half an hour before i was gonna leave. so rush through it all and get out 5 min late and then rush home and meet up with everyone about 10 min late, but it turns out i'm not the last one there. who were we waiting on? yep you guessed it, our buddy bobby...again. oh well, i can't blame him. he's chinese and we know what they all say about chinese ppl. ne wayz, bobby finally gets there and we all leave to some skool out in phx i'm guessing. it takes a while, but we finally get there going through some ghetto neighborhood and watching it transition into some *bling bling* neighborhood. how weird. well we watch those crazy guys in springboard play for a while before i get hungry and decide to raid the "free" food table. well, they were taking donations, but it's not like i didn't pay for it. i just ate a bunch more than the couple bux i put in the donation cup. yep, good stuff AND i was really hungry. we hang around for a while and then decide that it was getting kinda....stale(?) around there so we head over to asu's mu to play some pool, but it's closed so we go to e-ba. after getting some boba, bobby and briand decide to try out the karaoke machine there. ~oi...next time they should pick a song they know cuz when you make an effort in trying to sing a song you don't.....well you can probably figure out what happens. after getting more than my fair share of 'karaoke' we all go to the new applebee's in ahwatukee. unfortunately there was nothing really different about this 'new' applebee's other than the fact that it's closer to my house than any of the other applebee's, i think. well david and steve chang show up and steve goes crazy and it was really funny although some other ppl didn't appreciate it much. oh well, i found it funny for the most part. the next day, i wake up around 9 and get all this crap done before going to pick up brian & phimus and then going to sunsplash. so matt shows up and goes on the water slides instead of phimus cuz phimus preferred to stay dry that day. well we go on all the slides, eat food, etc. the whole company picnic sch-bang and then i go home and clean up a little and have some dinner. after that we all met up again and saw 'spider-man' which was a really awesome movie. i highly recommend it, including the 'men in black 2' preview. hehe, if you saw the movie you know what i'm talking about. after the movie we all head over to in-n-out for a bite to eat and the infamous weihua shows up. i dunno, but david keeps saying something about him and a couple bisexual ppl and yeah. a lot of vagueness was involved and i didn't quite get the whole story, but i'm not sure if weihua even explained the entire situation cuz i'm still wondering about it. oh well. sunday went to church in the morning, then lunch out at carl's jr. which has the smallest chicken sandwich i've ever had. it was pretty sad. if anyone ever goes there, do not order anything chicken unless you plan on not eating a whole lot. then onto chino skool. what a great time was had by all hehe. naw, but seriously it was our teacher's last week with us so now i'm left wondering who the next teacher would be and if she could put up w/ our class. jeez i hope he/she doesn't suck, but hey only a week or two left now so yeah. after chinese skool, i went to lee lee's, home of the "DOOOO MAAAHHHH!!" and bad fish smell and bought water. after that i went to dinner w/ my parents at one of their friend's house since it was cinco de mayo. you didn't remember it was cinco de mayo? yeah i didn't either, but it's probably cuz i'm not mexican. it's kinda like how you shouldn't expect haKk guEi to know when chinese new years is. dinner was pretty good, i ate a lot of yummy mexican food. then there was this shrimp cocktail type thing, but all mexi'd out so it was shrimp in this salsa type of stuff which replaced the cocktail sauce. it was pretty good, but everything that night was. well when i finished dinner i went home and changed the oil in my car cuz it's wack, well not really jus slow. okay i'm hungry now. i better go home and eat dinner.
song of the moment: philmore - "the fishy song"
thanx nono!
05.03.02
in skool right now, third period to be exact. business internship...what a great class. right now i should be making a powerpoint presentation on my job, but knowing me i get kinda easily distracted and lose interest pretty fast. so here i am, jabbering away about absolutely nothing. the time is now 10.17 and there is about 17 more min left of class. i rejoice in a conservative manner, old & conservative to be exact. okay i'd better get back to work.
so i'm at work now, chilling on the computer as usual. for the past hour or two i've been trying to get kazaa lite to work on my computer so i can d/l some more mp3s, MVs, etc. usually whenever i try to install programs i get denied cuz i don't have administrative access or some crap. ghey work computer. anyways, for some reason kazaa lite was able to install and i was pretty happy about that. then i started it up only to realize that there is also a company firewall up. so i sat and pondered for a while and then went to download.com to look for a program to go around the firewall. i came across 'html-tunnel' and installed that successfully. i ran the program and then *amazingly* i was finally able to connect to kazaa!!! YAY! at that point i was ecstatic. then when i started d/l stuff i remembered that 'html-tunnel' caps off transfer speeds to 1.50kb/sec. ~ugh another drawback, but at least i can d/l mp3s n stuff now. i guess the only other thing i can do now is to subscribe to 'html-tunnels' service. yes, i luv beating the system.
while i'm on this downloading spree today, i decided that i should probably catch up on all the great games i haven't played in a long time. so i d/l zsnes, a snes emulator. man, i luv that thing. i used to play old snes games all weekend when i was really into them. it's crazy, i d/l so much stuff today. on top of that, i actually did some work! oh man, what an awesome multi-tasker i am! well not really, all i did was read some newspapers then get on the computer. yep, d/l. good stuff.
probably not goin to yg tonight. instead goin to see springboard play at...i'm not sure what, i think someone else is driving, but i'm sure it's wayyyyy out there as usual. hopefully we can catch a late show of 'spider man.' man that movie look soooo tight. alright time to go finish up some work so i can get out on time.

check out this chinese/english flash movie. it's real cute. the little boy playing piano...hehe so stereotypical.
hehe i just remembered about tom green's "the bum bum song." oh man, what a 'laugh riot.' MY BUM IS ON THE CHEESEEEEEE!!!! sweeedish sweeeeedish.
wanna hear a funny song? go d/l crass - "do they owe us a living?" i thought he was speaking some foreign language during the chorus. it just turns out he's british and being very punk rock. plus, the guy's got a potty mouth so it's like, "haha he has a funny british accent (or possibly gay) and he's saying naughty words!!!" ai yah, just too much fun.
so i made a banner for my website today. the problem is that it doesn't match the color theme of the site. oh well i had fun making it and i killed about a half hour's worth of time finding a program to make .gifs and then actually making it. wheeeee what great fun! oh yeah, here's the banner if you want it:
work is pretty exciting...that's a lie. i read a couple newspapers today and then sent some stuff out. that's about it. sounds hard, huh? oh yeah trust me, it is....that's a lie. okay so yeah lying is bad n stuff.
skool today was pretty laid back. second period i got in a tad bit late again, but i doubt the teacher noticed. third period i got a chance to see the dance show! YAY! yeah it was so-so, could've used more acrobatic/hardcore type of dancing, but hey it got me outta class so i'm not complaining. then fourth period since my teacher took all her other classes to the dance show and it wasn't offered fourth period, that was basically a free period as well. yep another awesome day of learning at corona.
ugh i saw a pic that will be used in the church's senior graduation thingy and damn...my picture sux. it's the one where i lack hair, back at the beginning of jr year. so then i freaked out and tried taking a good picture of me. then i realized something, i'm not very photogenic. yeah it sux *bleh* so i'm just going to have to use that crappy one, but hey i didn't have the worst (possibly funniest) pic up there. i'll give you a hint, this person's favorite animal is a "dawg" hehe yeah i'm not gonna give any details about the pic, but let's just say that it's very.....non-ghetto. weird, huh?
my mom is being anal about the 'new car' issue. she says that i'm gonna have to pay for it all now. dang, looks like if i want the 240sx then i gotta steal it cuz i sure as hell can't afford it right now. so i guess i'm gonna have to go get a toyota mr2 turbo w/ a buttload of miles on it. damn, not that the mr2 is bad, it's just the 'intense' amount of mileage on the one that i have in mind. sure it's only $5k, but man 123k mi is kind've a lot. well i guess i'm gonna have to be using the money i don't spend on the car rebuilding the engine for the mass amounts of abuse i plan on giving it ^_^ jeezzzz....so that encouraged me to get onto autotrader today and look for some other options. well here's a 95 mitusbishi eclipse gsx w/ 65k mi for only $11500. then there's this 91 toyota mr2 turbo w/ 123k mi for $5k! yep, that's the mr2 i was talking about and now for something completely unattainable to me. yep, it makes me cry sometimes. here's something funny though, this guy thinks he can get $55k for his supra, but from his description it doesn't seem like it's worth all $55k, but it still is a supra.
i'm sore and the weekend is almost here. exactly 2 more weeks left of skool (including weekends). communist red china, here i come.
05.01.02
so i did manage to get a hold of a computer today, my own home computer. it's been a while since i wrote anything on this website from home. well i should be at work right now, but after that awards lunch thing i decided that i didn't feel like going. well i've been home for about an hour or two and just been occupying my time with the internet again. how sad, i not only get on at work, but at home. ai yah, but at least i can listen to mp3's out loud and chat on aim while i'm home n stuff. so i'm listening to drunken tiger and i realized that i need to find some new music. not that drunken tiger is bad, i've just listened to this song too much. it's not just drunken tiger, but a lot of my mp3's as of now. oh well, i'll go look for new music later. i think i'll go take a nap sometime soon. yeah, that'd be nice. i haven't taken one since....last week.
an awesome link provided by mr. ganjawind. read up on epilepsy and take a test to see if you have it!
last night, as i was at the gas station, i picked up this week's autotrader. my 240sx is still in there! along, with a nice array of supras, 300zxs, etc. jeez, i wish i had a butt load of cash to pick up one of these beauties. *sigh* one day i'll get one....
oh! monday night at gungfu, my sifu's son, dai si hing/da shi xiong needed help with this police test of his (he's in the tempe pd) so i am the lucky practice dummy. man, i sure did learn a bunch about what cops do to those dumb kids who get busted. he practiced a bunch of these painful locks and holds so ur pretty much their bitch when it comes to the law. then he showed me the "21-Foot rule" or something. it's in regards to what they do when someone comes running at them with a knife or any other dangerous object. let's just say it involves them capping my ass full of hot lead. haha, man...cops. can't live with 'em, can't live w/o 'em.
okay i don't feel like writing a whole bunch in this today so i think i'm gonna go do something else now.

ouch
omg i jus ran through the entry i wrote yesterday and it is soooo long. i don't think i have ever wrote that much before. i guess it just goes to show how much free time i have at work. right now it's about 9.40 in the morning and i'm just taking it easy after goin on a 'not-so-nice' jog. stupid shoes rubbed my instep down so it's all sore now and my ankle hurts. i guess that's why i don't jog that often anymore. jeez, brian...such a rebel. ditching the aims test, well going in at the last minute and rapidly filling it out with no regard for quality of work, rather just getting that lameass stuff done. mad props my friend. you have just fought the system and won.
the infamous JIN! or as i like to call it 'chino owns haKk guEi at his own game.'
thank you david, for convincing me that i am not a nerd for listening to sarina paris. i watched her 'look at us now' music video yesterday. let me say this, she reminds me of jay chow, good music, but not too good to look at if you catch my drift ^_^
angry cow flash cartoon of some sort.
yay! last night i finished my math hw before i went to sleep! yep, 3 whole assignments from the past couple days that i neglected to do. of course i didn't understand everything so i just bs'd half of it and wrote the problems down for a couple others. what a great way to finish my hw. man, too bad there isn't some sort of 'vocabsux' equivalent to math. then i swear i'd be math-retarded and cheat constantly...hmmm maybe it's a good thing then that they don't have it.
dirty mind test
~oi time to take a shower. i'll probably get to more writing when i'm at work today.
an awesome commercial for sega rally on dreamcast. EVERYTHING on wheels in this commercial drifts! haha, but it's in korean so i don't know what the hell they're talking about.
okay so i'm at work now and my right ankle still hurts from jogging this morning. freakin ghey. i don't think i'll go jogging very much anymore. i'll probably stick to hitting the heavy bag or something. so i just tried getting up and my entire body feels sore now. last night i worked abs and chest then this morning i went running for the first time in weeks so basically yeah, moving is kinda hard, but the feeling of accomplishment more than makes up for any of this discomfort i feel right now. anyways, yesterday i got an email at work and apparently we have a swarm of bees at the entrance i come in through. i was wondering why they taped off a certain section of the walkway in. however, yesterday after work, the tape was gone, but when i come back today, it's back up. stupid bees, i didn't even see any. that reminds me, i've never been stung by a bee nor have i broken a bone or got stiches or something like that. it's incredible and i don't have the urge to go through one of those experiences either. i would suppose all the non-risk taking i do would attribute to that. hmm sounds a little too old & conservative to me.
david's butt-humper shooting game. EW! pray that you don't miss!
well it's about 2 and i have no newspapers to read today. on top of that i have no work whatsoever to do! wow, this is great. i can probably just sit on the internet the entire time i'm here today! yay! good times, good times. looks like i can work on a new layout while i'm at it or maybe get some hw done. i already cleaned out my backpack in the 40 min i've been here so far (i was 20 min late). nothing around here seems to indicate it needs to be cleaned, refilled, etc. dang, absolutely nothing to do around here. oh well.
the next generation of suicide bombers.
i dunno, this just popped into my head so i thought i'd share it with everyone, a review of the movie "the scorpion king." well what can i say, the rock is a man of many talents....? no, then i'd be lying. he should probably stick to pro-wrestling instead of trying to make it as anything remotely close to an 'accomplished actor.' 80% of his acting consists of grimaces and muscle flexing followed by that lame dialogue that spews forth from his neanderthal-like maw. on top of that, the fight choreography for this movie was the typical american 'ham-fisted' fighting and a touch of pro-wrestling. yep, no comparison to all those great HK movies so don't expect much out of 'the scorpion king.' it seems that the only thing that redeems this movie is kelly hu ^_^ i think bobby would agree. yep, she's hot and she doesn't wear a whole lot throughout the entire movie. a definite thumbs up on this part. yeah so basically this is a typical guy movie with violence and scantily-clad women taking place in a very historically inaccurate setting.
reminds me of epilepsy
sitting here at work, i've realized something. all the ladies in my department are always on the phone at some point in the day going on and on and on about whatever and the worst part is that i can hear it ALL. omg, the secretary and 2 different ladies in cubicles next to mine's droning on chick stuff. man, i guess you can consider this me droning on and on about me stuff, but it's not like you're forced to read this everyday, unlike me who is forced to sit in this cubicle, in the middle of all the action, forced to endure the constant 'mega-crisis' that they all go through. ~oi no bueno.
clash of the titans. marine vs. tractor on the quarter mile! haha the marine ran (literally) 73 seconds at 18 mph and the tractor finished in 46 sec.
windy days are muy bueno as long as there isn't all this crap flying around that can get into my eyes. yep, last night i was driving home from gungfu and it was just one of those nice and calm moments in the day that i like. so the weather was cool, my window was down, my music was just right. yeah....good stuff. night driving is pretty cool. what sux about driving however is those old ppl who shouldn't even be on the road anymore, driving these huge boat-cars (buicks, caddys, etc.). yeah they tend to piss me off with their slow driving since they can't see thing very well so to make up for their lack of sight they take things just a little bit slower. to us normal ppl, they're like a turtle in the path of the hare. i wouldn't mind their driving so much if they didn't get in my way so i propose that they get their own "special" lane to drive in or maybe a sanctioned time of day in which they are allowed to drive and ppl are warned to stay away from the roads till this period of time is over. maybe if they were given tests starting at a certain age by the dmv to see whether or not they are capable of driving normally cuz when i got my license, i don't have to renew mine's till i'm about 50-60 yrs old. man, the crappy drivers on the roads these days.
supra gets owned by old pos car?!
my gripe for today: what stupid bastard stole the tissue box from my cubicle?! damn, i jus spilled some water and had to run around like some hysterical-looney so that i didn't damage anything important, mainly the keyboard/telephone. man, the tissue box was here last week i think and the only thing i can think of is that one of those stupid kids here on 'take your kid to work' day placed it elsewhere. gross, i just coughed something up and everything would've been fine IF I HAD MY TISSUE BOX IN MY CUBICLE! jeezzz.....
AI YAH!!!! if i had $150k lying around!!!! twin-supercharged lamborghini diablo!!!! more info on this awesome car. also, a twin-turbo diablo vt.
i miss driving my parents' lexus. ai yah that car was great. so fast compared to my slow corolla. it like takes me quite a deal of time to hit 45 MPH! on the other hand, the lexus is there in a matter of seconds. the best part is when you're on a freeway on-ramp. just floor it and *bam* hitting 90+mph by the time you get down to the freeway. speed...what an addiction.
a pretty dumb thing to do on a bike. then there's this large gallery of motorcycle follies.
ugh, time to go do hw now. i'm not gonna be in tomorrow since i have an awards luncheon thing to go to so i might, might not write a buttload of nonsense in here tomorrow, but i'm pretty sure everything from today will keep anyone occupied for the time being.
vid clip of neon owning a modded viper.
JEEZ! THE funniest thing i've heard in the longest time!! a prank phone call from some guy posing as an employee at an auto place. OMG! man, some ppl are pretty retarded when it comes to cars. haha. it's so great! hehe women and cars, sooooo funny!
flash games rock!
i'd just like to remind you that today is the last day of april. up next, may and you know what that means? graduation! yay! so from today i only have 2 weeks and 2 days left of skool! YAY! and 2 of those days are finals days! man....how great is that?
david hasselhoff as an accomplished singer?!?! yep, you heard right and there is one of his music videos! enjoy and remember OOGA CHAKA OOGA OOGA!
12 different movie trailers for 'star wars, episode 2: attack of the clones.' boy am i ecstatic about this movie coming out! yep, this friday spider-man and then next friday is STAR WARS!!! wow, 3 whole years of waiting for this to come, opening day steadily approaches.

what a long weekend. friday night instead of going to laser quest w/ the yg, a couple guys went to tokyo house for dinner. let me say this, that place isn't great, but it wasn't horrible either. so i'd say go there once in a while if you want something different. besides, it's cheaper than yamakasas. after dinner bobby, brian, phimus, and me went to go dye brian's hair so we had to pick some stuff up at "sally's" aka bobby's second home. so we get some 'old & conservative' bleach and some brown hair dye and head over to bobby's to pick some stuff up. so we get the stuff and go to david's to chill for a while. while we were there, we got around to dyeing brian's hair and i, hating to waste leftovers, used the rest. yeah, that was pretty jewish, but oh well there are starving ppl in africa or something. however, if we had gone by bobby's specifications regarding how long we should leave our 'old & conservative' bleach in, then brian's hair probably would've been about albino blonde and i would have yellow hair. oOo yellow hair! wait...no. ne wayz, we get all that done and go to intel to try to use their gym, but they have some guy walking around monitoring who goes in and out so obviously we wouldn't be able to get in. so we go to coffee plantation and talk for an hour or so. by about 11 we were all ready to go home so brian was the first to leave. the problem was that bobby's keys were still in his car so someone suggested we chase him down. haha that was the funniest thing i had heard in a while, chase down brian?! haha what're u crazy? so yeah we had matt drive us out to brian's house wayyyy out in the foothills. we get the keys then head back to david's house. just as we were about to get into phimus' car so he could take us back to church where our cars were, some drunk or possibly high guy walks up to us and starts goin off on how he likes to get 'wasted.' after listening to him ramble on for about 15 min i had had enough and me just getting my nunchucks back was about ready to smash his face in so he'd stop talking, but instead i jus told phimus we better go. after that i get to my car and that would conclude my awesome friday night in this great state known to the world as arizona...right. so saturday i was 'busy as a bee' as the saying goes. i woke up around 8.30 cuz my family was being nosy as usual, but i jus laid in bed for another hour. i got up and watched some saturday morning cartoons. those rock! i miss those days as a kid when i would wake up at 6 in the morning and just watch cartoons non-stop till noon. boy, those were the days. heck even the cartoons were better than a majority of the mindless drivel we have on tv now except for YU-GI-OH!!! hehe i luv that show. then i got around to checking the pool water, sweeping the dirt off the bottom, and scooping up whatever was floating on the surface of the water. ai yah i wish we had a pool cover. the bad thing about windy days is that practically EVERYTHING gets blown into our pool. the worst part is that there are all these tall trees around our backyard so all that crap gets into the pool which means more work for me. after the pool cleaning thing, i went and washed the lexus. i did a crappy job on the windows though so i wasn't too happy w/ that, but i wasn't going to do them again cuz that would involve me getting other parts of the car i just washed wet again. so i washed the entire exterior, then vacuumed and wiped down the interior which took a total of 2 hours. yeah, you don't realize what that can of soda you just spilled in your car will do until you have to clean it. when i finished washing the entire car, i got some lunch and headed out to pick up my tux. too bad the gay guy wasn't there when i got it. he was funny...in a gay way of course. so i got my tux then went to calvin's apartment and helped him move to his new place near asu. he wasn't kidding when he said his place was ghetto. freakin mexicans getting drunk on their balcony, blaring their mariachi, tex-mex, whatever-the-hell music so loud that the entire apartment complex could hear it. i'm pretty sure he's glad to get the hell outta there cuz i know i would. so when we got everything packed into everyone's cars, we drove there in a pseudo-caravan of cars, but when we got to rural and university half of us turned left and the other half turned right. the correct way, however, was the left turn which i did not know. so obviously i was scrambling around trying to head back south onto rural. i eventually make it out there and find the new apartment. we unpack some stuff out and bobby has to leave to go get ready. we get some more stuff out and then when we try moving the futon into calvin's room, it was wayyy too long to fit through the door, since the hallway was too narrow. well by that time i had to leave and get ready, but they said they took apart the futon and finally got it in. so i get home, shower, change, do the hair, and leave in a big hurry since i was kinda late. in this big hurry, i forgot to pick up the directions from todai to the hotel. oh well no biggie, we still made it to the hotel alright. so i leave and pick up chi2 and do the usual picture-taking schpiel and go to todai's. well we were about half an hour early so we let the host know we had arrived. so i call bobby to see where he is and he's somewhere around sky harbor airport and i'm wondering, 'why the hell are you near ther?' apparently he was trying to find a shortcut or something, but no worries, he made it there eventually. well they almost took away our reservations, but brian shows up in time so yeah. this is getting really long so i guess i better start paraphrasing, simplifying this. we eat a lot of food. it was good. charlie and calvin showed up. they ate a lot too i would guess. so altogether a lot of food-eating went on there. we leave and go to the crown plaza hotel and wait for brian to show up. 2 or 3 other skools were having their prom the same night in the same general area so it was mass confusion. we get in, take pictures, and i reaffirm the fact that, as the addage goes, i dance like a white boy. yeah it's sad i know. i feel like a retard whenever i try, so my best solution is to not altogether. slow dances are different, but man any other times.....the whiteness spews forth in all it's unholy...not-good-ness...? yeah i can't think of the word right now. so yeah i take chi2 home and i drive around for like an hour or two. i head to the gas station and pick up an icee and burger and drive out around. i end up in the foothills and just go sit by some lake near brian's house and stare at the moon n stuff. yeah i'm a weird-o. half and hour goes by and i'm getting really bored so i drive back into my area and i get a call from wonnie and they're all out and on the way back. brian says to meet up at juice factory and i get there in a couple minutes. jeez, this is long. so ne wayz we all meet up and chill in the parking lot for like....2 hours trying to figure out what to do so we go to denny's and eat again. by the time we're done it was 4 so i decided to just go home. man what a long night. sunday i was rudely awaken by my mom as she banged on my door and told me to get ready for church. i jus ignore it and go back to sleep and she comes back a little bit later and tells me to get up and all this junk, but i was too tired to care and finally she asks what time i got back and i tell her and she freaks out and she screams, "i've had it up to HERE with this family!" i wonder where HERE is? ne wayz i keep getting woken up by all these stupid ppl calling the house and finally get up at 11. got dressed and went to church. i walked into sunday skool like 45 mins late and they were watching a video on abortion. man, that was some gruesome stuff they showed. ~oi just like rotten.com. yeah so we all go out to lunch and i don't go to chinese skool this week, but i at least came back and told my teacher i would be gone. so brian and me go to bobby's and pick him up and then we all go to brian's house. we hang out there for a couple hours and get our tuxes packed up, ready to go. however, there was a lot of rampant searching for missing pieces of the tux, mainly bobby's tie. finally brian's mom comes home and gives it back since bobby forgot it in brian's dad's car last night. wow this is one long and entry, i'm sure a majority of ppl could care less reading about it. so yeah i'll just end it at, we returned our tuxes which ended my longggg weekend.
i have a butt load of math hw to finish cuz i ditched friday. well at least this morning i caught up on some sleep cuz of aims testing. haha. too bad for all the ppl who did have to take it. i feel your pain as i was sound asleep, dreaming while everyone else was hard at work, toiling away at the waste of time known as 'the aims test.' boy, that must've been fun.
i feel like such a nerd. did you know i actually listen to sarina paris? yep, that one girl who sings that one song who's title i am forgetting right now. wait, 'look at us now.' that's what it's called. hehe. yeah actually her music is pretty catchy. all techno-popish n wut not. okay yeah stop laughing now. i get the point. go d/l "so i wait" it's a pretty good song and stop making fun of meeeeee!
this is just a temporary layout. i'm sure you luv the communistic color scheme. don't worry though, i'll come up with something better. 'just you watch' as they say on fox, channel 10.
04.26.02
wow an entire week of non-writingness. that's bad. however, it's about time i got this site back up. that's good. man, you won't believe the horrendous amounts of fast-paced, adrenalin-packed stories i have to tell you...wait...no. remember, this is dexter, not chan ho nam ^_^ well ne wayz i thought the change of name called for a change of color scheme as well. i haven't decided whether or not to spend the time to learn flash and make my entire site *bling bling* or not. of course not everyone is flash-compatible so....*bleh* you ppl...so far behind in technology these days. ya need to get up to date man! ai yah. so yeah this entire name change, "file transfer from account 1 to account 2" deal has been taking up most of my afternoon here at work now, but as of now it's pretty much done. still considering other random layout designs n stuff and i need to make cool new buttons for the links now that the old ones don't match this scheme. yep, tons of work ahead, but hopefully it'll end up looking pretty good or else all this time i spend on the internet will have gone to waste.
so today was a great day otherwise known as 'senior ditch day.' yep woke up at like 6.30 cuz my family was being wayyyy too loud so i tossed and turned and lay in bed for about an hour. about then i got up and 'got ready' for skool. haha rightttt. so yeah, my mom was still home and thought that i had gone to skool ^_^ but instead i went to the bank, then got some gas, then got a haircut (teazers man! 6 bux!), then called in the tux place to tell them the vest color i wanted, then WENT TO SKOOL to get prom tickets n stuff. aw man, i was at skool on my ditch day! hehe well i got all the necessary 'paper work' and jus chilled with ppl at their lunch. went out to lunch afterwards w/ chi2 n debbie at arby's. mmm arby's is pretty freakin good. that new roast turkey ranch and bacon market fresh sandwich is gooooddddd!! ~oi so yeah went to work after that and basically it all comes down to what i'm doing now which is writing this entry in here for your viewing pleasure. wow, really?! naw not really. BOO YAH! okay it's 4.40 and i leave in 20 mins so i better get all my work done. i luv procrastinating and waiting till the last minute. i guess it's jus an asian trait.
man, i'm hungry. mmm todais tomorrow. yay!
haha you know what's funny? your face! HAHAH! but no seriously, that new ludicrous song with the chorus that goes "something something blast, cops jus passed, jus seen a big ol'something *ooOOO iggy iggy iggy iggy*" yeah i don't know the name, but if ne one does, drop me a line. i'd really appreciate it. it's ghetto fab.
is it true that all dv students are required to take the aims next monday and tuesday regardless if they've passed it or not? if it is, man that sux for u guys.
