My name's Rogerio Fung. I was born in the highlands of Brazil, 23 years ago. I can not
die. I'm also delusional :)
Hi everyone. This is the little corner dedicated especially to me. Yeah, I think I deserve a little consideration, a little side note on the history books. If not that, then my page will have to do. I adamantly insisted on that!
I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I lived in a small little town for my first 6 years, and then I moved to Lisbon, Portugal, where I'd spend the next 12 years. By the age of 18, I finally moved to San Jose, California, which is where I intend to stay..at least for the next semester or so. I'm trying to attend UC Berkeley, but you know how hard it is to get in there?!
It's funny that the last 3 generations in my family have been all over the world. My grandparents came from China,Asia. My parents were born in Mozambique, Africa. I was born in Brazil. I've lived in Portugal and now in the US. All together, we've been through 4 continents, 2 hemispheres and a whole lot of countries.

I'm one day short of finally travelling to Portugal, the place where I grew up. It's been 2 years now since I left it to live in the United States, and, boy, times does seem to fly. I can't wait to see my old friends and relive old memories. It's funny we never really know the value of what we have until we lose it. Well, I just think it's so valuable for me to be given the chance to go back in time and have a second chance to see ol'e Europe. I hope I'll learn what to value now that I've been away from it :) I'll post more about it in 5 weeks when I finally come back :)

I'm back,and it's been two months since I last wrote in here. I had quite the good time in Europe. I took the Eurail to Italy, and then to Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Holland, and finally France. All this took an amazingly short amount of time, 2 weeks only! By the time I got to France,I was tired of seeing museums and national monuments.:) I've had it for now. What was i doing with the other month and a half you may ask? Well, I went visit a lot of places in Portugal. I visited my grandparents, my uncles, my cousins, and I also hung around with my friends. And I met this pretty extremely gorgeous looking and very sweet lady whose picture I have somewhere else in the webpages. And then I woke up and I had to come back to my life here in SJ, CA, USA. I didn't get into UC Berkeley,that hard that university is. My GPA was 'only' of 3.32..that sux, doesn't it?

Dang! It seems I update this thing every year or so :) Thing is, my life isnt that interesting. What has happened since I last wrote in here?..I came back from my trip..then I spent a semester doing..I dont know what?.Something eye opening happened two weeks before the end of year 98: I was riding my bike to a job interview, when I crashed under the most silliest circunstances ( a fire truck was blaring it's lights and horns behind me! can you imagine? probably not ..:)) anyways, I ended up breaking my foot, a hairline fracture that left me seven weeks in crutches and pretty much stuck at home! Don't ever ask me about my winter break , cuz I'm gonna get the crutches and hit them on your head :).. well, Kaiser took them away from me when I removed the cast, so worry not about violence! Spring 99 was cool. I decided to pledge for a fraternity. It's called Delta Sigma Pi ( the brothers are called Delta Sigs) and it's a professional co-ed business fraternity. Yes, that means, girls! in the fraternity, and they are also called brothers. Tradition, that's what it is. Feminists back away because I don't hear any of the female brothers complaining and so I definitely shouldn't be hearing from you! Then again, this is a personal web page, so chances you'll end up in here are pretty slim to begin with..*phew* :) Oh.. So as of today, I am a full fledged 'brother' for Delta Sigma Pi, pretty cool huh?:) I met quite a lot of interesting people, and cute ones too ;) brothers! brothers! They're brothers :) Coming next year, I hope I will be able to travel to Europe again. There's some more countries that I didn't have the chance to visit, and I'm gonna catch them all (gotta catch'em all!Pookemon!!) ..and with this I end another silly note. Don't expect any updates soon :)

hey! I guess I do update more than once a year, arent you glad? As if anyone really checked my site since last time. I haven't had much of an online presence besides AOL IM , chatting with friends. By the way, if you want to IM me, my screen name is zooks76! I have been too busy to do much besides school, work and my fraternity, so I guess there isn't much new to talk about. This semester's been great! I guess you can judge how much you live life by the corresponding amount of time you do not watch tv or play computer games! And I havent had almost any time at all to do either of them. Sometimes I miss my 'slow' paced, couch potato life I had a few semesters ago...not too often though ;)
Still under construction..exciting things to come!
