OVAAA

WOOO SCHOOLS OVAAAAAAAAAA... for the time being that is... hehehe

I'll update this sometime this weekend... i'm tired.


EDIT :: So i sorta forgot i said i'd update over weekend... but uhh i promise i'll update later tonight?? (Christmas eve) I'm tired again... it's 4 AM... why am i up?? sleep cycle is effed up ... yup... lol... ok catch ya later.

Hmmm

• Finals suck.
  
• Apartment hunting is stressful.
  
• Finding out your teacher can't count points correctly is mega fail.
  
• Knowing that Co-op is just around the corner is basically the only thing I'm riding on.

Update... and then some.

So i got rejected from Parsons... I have an interview this Tuesday however with a government research company... the US Army Soldier research division in Natick... should be interesting... even though it's my ONLY oppotunity right now... maybe i'll get more replies monday since i sent out a bunch of my resumes over the break...

My break was good if you're curious... lots of relaxing with my brother and fam. seeing old friends was good too. Things at home are normal i'd say... there's a slight transition though seeing that both my brother and i are going on jobs soon. So that leads to arranging me bringing a car and them buying a new car for my bro... as he will be working in Wisconson.

I got a buncha new music over break too... some catchy hip hop and rock stuff... makes me happy to find new music that i'm addicted to :) I started to learn more poi stuff but i broke my current poi strings... and i think it'd take too much effort to fix... so either i'll get some when i start working... or maybe i'll get them for christmas from some one... o= meh doubt it haha we'll seee... not many people know what i want for Christmas... i dont usually want much... but when i think about it... i def want some glowsticks/poi strings (glowy).

One of the worst feelings you could experience is the realization that someone you like... just might not be the one for you. You like alot about them... their personality... looks... but there's that one thing that ticks.... could be something complicated... or something small.. but it just sucks... like what do you do with all your emotions... do you keep them? and just build a friendship... or invest in the relationship?? is it worth it?? maybe it was a one time thing?? too many things to consider... I've been playing aggressive for my own good recently with my relationships... i should be building up friendships more... which is what i inevitably do when i'm aggressive with my relationships... I'm the BEST (sarcasm) when it comes down to getting into the friendzone with people... i dont know why... is it a gift?? who knows... but it's a good thing AND sucks at the sametime... you know why? cause that means i will most likely follow the stereotype of "nice guys finishing last"... not exactly a bad thing... but then again i'm not the typical nice guy... or am i?? i dont even know... i'm just sorta in the middle... between jerk and nice guy... so average?? ugh... i'm just me... oh well... my friend Suzie from HS told me to just stay on the sideline... ironically it's what i told her in high school and now she's happy with a boyfriend at college.... i should swallow my own words sometimes... but it's always hard... if you've done i before i guess.... it's also hard to realize things like that.... faults in yourself... like who wants to just think of themselves as a bad person?? i guess a humble person lol... but it's hard to be humble at anytime... but then again it's always a good thing to strive for...

Anyways... my train of thought was cut off... so that ended my little splurt... i love doing that... just typing and running into different topics... it's great... my brother asked me over break why people write in blogs publicly and such... why they pour out their emotions to people that may be directly involved in issues between other people.... i didn't have a clear answer.... but i guess blogging is just meant for certain people?? It just flows with me sometimes... it's not to say i have no one to vent to... but it's more like venting to yourself... and then you can look back on it and see how stupid you were back when you wrote it... which is prolly what i'll think when i read this post 4 years from now or something haha.... but it's not like this blog is fully public... sure it's posted in my aim profile and facebook page.... but if you actually have clicked on it... then maybe you're interested to have a peak into my life... i know my close friend's dont read this... it's prolly more of my distant friends... which i dont mind.... i guess this is a place to say stuff like... Hello!!! since i probably dont see you for long periods of time :DD... but whatever, i dont write in this enough to have everything in my life laid out for you to read... just a preview i suppose... but for what it's worth i thank you for reading this to it's fullest extent... and it's nice to hear from readers that they do actually read... some people think it's stalkerish when they tell me they read.. but honestly i dont care... it's my decision to make it public right?? right... ok

Ok i really should sleep now... Mondays always suck... especially after longs breaks off of school...

Turning the page...

It's funny how life can turn in a new direction within a week. First my earbuds which i have loved and cherished failed hard at the beginning of this week... first my right earbud cut out... so i dealt with one ear for the whole week.. until friday where the 2nd ear started to cut in and out... it made me very sad.... so tonight i got these new ones, the cheapest ones i could find of course, and they're christmas colors xDD... my friends picked it out for me sorta... it was only after i purchased them that they suggested the christmas colored ones not just to be in the holiday season... but to make me look more asian hahaha good stuff... so that's the one thing that went bad this week and that i have made good!

The other things that have gone on this week... hmm let's see... there's been alot... one in particular is the fact i had an interview this weekend! It was on thursdayyy and it was veryyyy cold =( I went to downtown in full blown suit and tie... and if you're around boston you know it's reallly coooold! The interview itself went fairly well i think... i'll find out before thanksgiving... so when/if i do you'll definitely know on here hehehe... that'll make my life a lot better if i do get the job... otherwise it'll be just more stress added to my already stressful life... I've been traveling around alot to say the least... i've ventured to Braintree back to the Allston area... and then back to Newbury in one night... then back to Allston.. and back to NEU... crazy stuff that was just one of the nights recently... good times all around... i dont mind traveling, but it definitely consumes alot of your time... I was barely in my room this week... just to sleep and shower and all that jazz... but i suppose it's a good thing that i'm constantly on the move... but in another sense it doesn't give me the downtime i need/want to just relax and take in everything that's going in my life...

Right now i'm saddened by a number of things... For one, it's cold outside... 2nd, I have a bunch of work to do for monday since i'm going home monday night... i need to hand in stuff that would be due tuesday etc.... so tomorrow's going to be a busy day, with church, studying, and homework... then the stress of waiting on hearing back from the job i interviewed has been on my mind... granted that there are only 4 other people that interviewed... and 2 positions... gives me good odds... but i dunno... i guess i have to put faith in God to show me where i'm going with everything in my life right now...

On another note.... maybe it's Irony or just my luck... but i got cancelled on TWICE recently... i do not particularly like when things happen like that... i suppose i understand when there's a legit excuse... but in the event that there is a wavy excuse... i just feel like i'm being seen as the one who they can just move around... then i'm here on my end moving around my schedule FOR them... but either way it was fine that plans fell through... my bros are always there to back me up... good times all around... as always. Oh well there's always more oppotunities in the future for things to happen... again.. maybe it's a sign that i should be doing something else? probably... I really just wanna go home now and relax with my brother and friends... is that too much to ask for??? actually it really isn't... i dont have THAT much between me and thanksgiving... just a matter of working through it all... hehehe...

Anyways, this was just a little update in random happenings in my life... granted they aren't that specific... i feel i've already ranted to my friends about the specifics to justity writing about them here?? yeah whatever.... too much going on in my life to worry about the little things here and there.

Da Buzz!

So I'm sure you love to dance... who doesn't! And I'm sure you like music with some substance (though cheesy too) and a cool sound with it at the same time... I know i do! Then Da Buzz is just for you! I recently got their Greatest hits album and it's awesome! They're a euro-based group and just like all other popular euro-based groups have a female singer with 2 DJs (sometimes 1... aka Milk Inc.)

Listen to this track... which is a mini mix of alot of their songs into one song... sorta like a preview to what they sound like...

https://myfiles.neu.edu/yung.da/Shared/16_da_buzz_club_mix.mp3?uniq=-i9jhgf

If you search on youtube for them they have various music videos, which i find sorta weird... but you can listen to them there... or just ask me to give them to you =D

Enjoy!

Hello readers!

The last 3 weeks have been very intense to put it lightly. Not only did i have exams every week, but i also was away on the weekends.... hindering my availability... both weekends i was away on church retreats... which both were amazing! The first retreat was with a new group of people... Intervarsity which i have been slowly getting myself involved with this year... they're a great bunch of people and the key about it is that it's multiethnic! Multi-ethnic you say? YES that means the asian stereotype of being exclusive is broken into the world of other races/colors, in a great christian environment.... haha it's awesome to say the least! But anyways the retreat was quite a blessing... I met a ton of new people from various schools and bonded with some close(er) friends along with hearing a message that changed the way i think these days... living without fear and frustrations! Granted i still DOO have some here and there... i do not worry about them as often... a very optimistic view on things i suppose... it's something i want to hold on from now on though. Beyond the message was also a good time playing card games (Nertz especially!) into the wee hours of the morning and enjoying hot tea and food with new people!

Then when i thought i was going to miss retreat i was renewed with the fact that I'd be going on the C-Stone retreat the weekend after! wooo another amazing time, new people, long talks, and another moving message that made me and many of my peers think more about how we spend out time and money in today's society.... Social Justice is a very hard (if not impossible) thing to do and sadly our world today has just made it that way... taking for granted what we have is something we all do that makes us blind to the fact that we are better off than prolly 98% of the rest of the world today... one point i found very solid is that God gave us all life equally in his image... soo in a way the world has put it so that not everyone is equal... the right to live should be given to everyone, not just those with worthless pieces of currency... what really matters is the relationships we make in our life time!... Who's lives do we impact... many people probably... more so than you would probably think! The ways we interact with people is very unique to us... and we ripple through the people we associate ourselves with and interact with. Thus is our world today... we live it.. and I just hope that the interactions i have with people around me is worth something to them... Whether it be you reading this post or simply a "Hello" as we pass each other around a corner... every action happens for a reason...

So the two retreats were a real blessing for me and definitely a challenging time for me both spiritually and in reality. I was pushed with studying as i did not have any time on the weekends... even though i tried and failed horrible... i would either doze off (due to lack of lots of sleep) or there would be too many social opportunities to not take! haha On top of retreats and school I've been waiting on job interviews as well as apartment hunting!... it feels like it adds to the stress level in my life.. but in the end... i'm not that worried cause i know God will provide SOMETHING for me... I've had one interview so far... and it's for one of my top jobs... so i'm hoping i hear back from them next week! It's quite competitive for me right now since all the honors students have better GPAs than i do... and thus companies look at that first.... SO A WORD OF ADVICE TO ALL FUTURE COOPS/INTERSHIPS... dont put your GPA down on your resume... one of my friends didn't put his down and he got a bunch of interviews compared to someone who DIDput down GPA.... only put down your GPA if it's good basically... not saying that my GPA isn't good... it's just people are higher than me... I guess i have to wait to see which job/interviews i get to really make a good suggestion on the matter... but it's definitely something to consider...

Apartment hunting on the other hand is being pushed off constantly because it's hard to find apartments for a January move in at this time... better to start looking later in November i suppose.... I'll prolly update on it in the future...

As a little side note... this post was started like 2-3 days ago and i've added slowly here and there when i've had time... i thought i'd have time this weekend... but everyday i was busy till late late at night... and i just didn't have the energy to think about what to write... even tonight... i'm surprised i've conjured the energy to write the rest of this... maybe it was the Starbucks i had earlier hehehe...

So this is merely the surface of what's been going on in my life... I have some more specific topics to discuss possibly for the future... so if you scrolled down past the big paragraphs... in a nut shell I've been crazy busy for my own good... I do find free time here and there and i indulge in my hobbies that i'm barely hanging onto... as well as some friendships/relationships that need rekindling... i love spending time with people outside my normal routine... or maybe it's the other way around and i don't have a normal routine... and just do things as they come and go! haha sure i have the typical hangout with my friends in the late evenings... where we either watch movies or simply chill till the wee hours of the morning... but when the random social "dates" come into play... it spices things up, it's great!... anywayssss this could definitely lead into many more topics for discussion but i'll hold off for now...

I have another post that i want to complete with something more specific to myself and relationships... it's like half written... hopefully i'll have time to finish is tomorrow or on Veteran's day? meh we'll seeee


Thanks so much for reading!
