Things I want to make

2011-08-01T22:02:00.000-07:00

Hi y'all,

Haven't written in a minute. Short list on what I want to make in the near future.

-------------

Ox Tail Sinigang (Ox tail w/ broccoli and potatoes)

Nikujaga (Japanese stewed meat and potatoes)

Soooo good. Until next time.

I been collecting one too many of these:

New

2010-11-07T17:06:00.000-08:00

Thanks to my friend, I now have a new job in SF. As many of you probably don't know I was working part time for the longest time, waiting to find the next full time opportunity.

Well fast forward 8 months later I'm working in north beach in SF. I guess I enjoy the change in scenery. My new job is a tedious one, however I now feel better about myself knowing that I can spend money and not be afraid of going broke.

On other non-related news, I placed 1st place on a SSF4 tournament my roomies and I held with a couple of good friends. We had a blast, and it was full of laughter and surprise upsets. I wish we could do this all of the time, but Maria would get mad at me so once every few months should suffice.

I have an -assumed- allergic reaction to something and now my palms and fingers have red itchy blistering clear liquid filled dots on them...FML.

Have a glorious day everyone.

Just go, Just walk away,
so bittersweet, you're already far away.
Take with you, our memories
They're opening like summer flowers.

Don't you be fooled
I loved you more, than I would ever dare tell you, I'd ever dare tell you.
I'll let you go, I'm only holding you back,
You're more than a small town, you're more than a small soul.

Close those pretty eyes. Don't look behind.
What did I tell you? That past is past, don't let it follow you.
Don't think, that by any day....I'll forget your face.
How could one forget you?

Hard to let go of something once you get hold of it...once you get hold of it, ya.
Don't you think for a moment....that you aren't worth all of it.

Hi Kiddies,

All is well in Chan town. I've been slowly working my life away at my new part time job. I'm doing sales & marketing for a super start up. 8 people in the company...3 in India, and 5 in the office, gnarly isn't it?

I haven't seen my girlfriend for almost 2 or 3 weeks, and we've been arguing about funny things on the phone. Like who should go see each other and how she made a little diary journal booklet about words I say a lot. Come to think of it, I've never realized that I overuse these particular words so much. It's hilarious to me that I use those words frequently. Ask Maria and she will tell you the list and give you very good examples on how I use them in casual conversation.

I've been spending a lot on VTA, but I finally got myself a VTA sticker from associated students! woot saving myself around 760 dollars buying that sucker. This job has also made me walk a lot more, so hopefully when I leave this place I will be a pound or ten lighter.

I also became Elite on Yelp C/O 2010! woot! Now I can invite people, who wants to be my +1? Yeahh! It's cool because I feel like we can explore so much more being Elite since the network is huge. I'm sure I will be delighted to meet these new folks as well as trying new drinks and foods.

I also recently got to see my current favorite band Sleeping With Sirens in Orangevale, CA. A whomping 2 hour drive, got to see Masaru's hometown, pretty as hell over there and way less ghetto than Man Jose. It was worth it, I got to give Kellin (the lead singer) a handshake.

My preordered poster, t shirt, and album came in the mail recently too, so now I'm set.

I also went to F.A.M.E (fashion, art, music, exhibition) it was down 11th street at the women's club society thing place. I met a lot of cool people, and there were a lot of good looking people, dancers, freestylers, and artists. I will totally go to the next one whenever they have it again, I think it's semi annually. Good stuff.

Thanks I'm still alive for anyone who reads this. Good day all.

My wonderful girlfriend helped me choose a new layout, looking pretty spiffy; finally. Thanks Maria :)

----
A friend of mine from high school wrote a post on unemployment, and I guess I really felt the same about our similar situations.
When you're applying theres nothing you can really do but follow up, be persistent only to find out that you were not chosen or rather you're not getting responses at all. Throughout my months unemployed I haven't been as proactive as I could've been, but it's pretty discouraging to say the least.

I don't feel like spending a lot knowing that I'm going to run out of money sometime, but then I don't want to be a cheapskate either. I've found myself cooking more which is good however I've also been getting lazier staying at my apartment with no real job to push me forward. My computer is cluttered with dozens and dozens of revised cover letters and resumes for each job i've applied to so far. When am I ever going to get a break? I'm jealous for those who have gotten straight out of college and gotten a full time, and are stable with their job. For me, I haven't been so fortunate to land the same scenario.

I honestly don't even know what I want. Maybe business wasn't the right path for me. And in regards to technology, I think it's just boring and redundant, I'm not 'tech geek' enough to have a real passion for it. Leisurely sure, but for the rest of my work career? Who knows.

Life's been rough though, I find myself in a limbo not knowing what to do next. There's a lot of things I wished I did in college that could've saved me from this but I just didn't do it. Sucks you can't change the past, but you really want to because you feel that if you could go back in time , everything would've been set. I have a few things in mind, like go back for masters (but my grades suck) maybe go 180 degrees and not do anything related to my major...all I know is that being unemployed is saddening. I don't know how people can enjoy not having a job, it's just a rip on your heart not having any real responsibilities after college. Good night all.. I know all of you are thinking, "Would you like some cheese with that w(h)ine?"

Bday, OxTail soup, and Christmas

2009-12-15T11:35:00.001-08:00

Got my Christmas gifts so far for Maria and Phoenix, need to decide what else to get..

Bday was good despite the horrid rain storm. Spent it with my lovely gf and 2 out of 3 roomies. + Mark.

I woke up extra early today to make ox tail soup, I'll keep you all updated if it comes out good.

Just finished paying off Comcast and PG&E...bah to electricity bills equaling up to Comcast's >_<

Check out Alicia Keys new album...pretty good ear candy.

Black Bean & Garlic Spare ribs

2009-11-23T17:42:00.001-08:00

ITs that time again folks.

Simple yet DELICIOUS way to make steamed pig.

Ingredients:

o Spare ribs from your local asian/market
o Jar of "black bean & garlic" sauce
o Teaspoon full of sugar
o Ginger

What you'll need to cook with:

o Bowl to put the marinaded meat in
o A steel stand (to raise the bowl)
o A deep pot or pan with a lid
o Water
o Sharp knife

How to do it:
Cut it up so they become small individual pieces, usually between the bones.
Next I used a plastic bag to put everything in, chopped ginger, teaspoon of sugar, and the blackbean&garlic sauce (the amount varies w/ the amount of meat you have, I used three scoops). This stuff is really salty so make sure you have the right amount of sugar and ginger to offset this. :)

Mix it up well and let it sit in the bag for however much time you have to marinade with.
Fill the pot/pan with water, high enough so it almost reaches the stand. The trick is you're trying to steam the pork so it will become very juicy and tender. I used medium-high heat and steamed it for over an hour. Serve over rice and enjoy!

Should look a little like this when you're done ;) courtesy of foodbuzz.com

Doing some late night resume editing and job searching...it makes me want to do this to people. Lots of it. Sigh.

Dear Blogger,

Went to career center today for a 1 o clock workshop. I got on campus at 12 and was freaking out because I couldn't get 10 cents to print out my resume. The lady over the counter was sweet enough to offer me 20 cents to print out two resumes at the SU for the critique.

I spoke to this guy 1 on 1, software QA at VMware, he wasn't really insightful seeing as I believe I covered every aspect of editing my resume from head to toe. It was worth the try though. Felt good to talk to him, and he said during interviews that I should use the fact that I've experienced Technology, and Technical Sales, as well as minor Product Management...Using that as a synergy was my plan, and he told me many things that I've already known. I'll try again tomorrow.

Helping Tatsu has been really enjoyable for most of us. We feel that he deserves to stay for the suffering & sacrifices he dished out in Shanghai.

Over the weekend I had a wonderful bittersweet time at my girlfriends place for our 1 year anniversary. It was sweet, being there with her, but bitter because I was sick the whole time...Sorry if it was not as memorable as it should've been Maria; I'll make it better.

1 Year anniversary coming up for Maria and I. Super stoked about that. LOVEs.

My Sake Shrimp Recipe

2009-09-15T17:15:00.001-07:00

So guys I was really hungry and was thinking of a quick fix for food. I just made this impromptu style, and it came out delicious so I thought I would share it.

Here's a list of what you'll need:

Extra virgin olive oil

1/2 lb of shrimp (with shell attached)

Green onion (put as much as you like)

Marudazu shoyu (soy sauce)

Pinch of sea salt

Bottle cap full of Sochu Yokaichi Kome (distilled from rice) Sake

Scissors

Small frying pan

How to cook:

Pour some EVOO in the small frying pan on med-high heat.

Once oil starts to get hot scissor your green onion right into the pan.

Stir for a few minutes until they become aromatic.

Next, throw in the shrimp. Stir as needed. Add the soy sauce and the pinch of sea salt.

By now, a minute or two should have gone by, right when it's about to finish (become bright orange), add the sake.

Stir for another few seconds for the alcohol to sink in.

Turn off the heat and you're ready to serve

I poured everything on a bed of premium medium grain japanese rice. Juices and green onions were flavorful, wish I could show you :D

I used this soy sauce because it has lower sodium content, which is why it has a pleasant sweet tone rather than being too salty. I don't know how much soysauce I put, but just enough to cover the shrimp a little to give it some color and for it to sizzle up. And for those who are wondering why I didn't detach the shells, the idea is that it helps the flavors of the green onion, salt, soy sauce and sake stay in the shrimp so when you're eating it you can suck out the juices. You can't mess this up, advice; as with most seafoods don't overcook as it will taste horrible (tough).

Enjoy.

On my own

He hurts to find he failed the test
Knowing that you gave your best
As your friend I'll never
Let you down
I know you didn't mean to leave me
On my own
Alone tonight
I'm gonna gather my strength

Gonna find the power
Then you know I'm gonna make it right
On my own tonight
I'll find that inner light
I can be strong
Alone
On my own
It's after dark you fear the most
To face alone your private ghosts

As your friend I'll never
Let you down
I know you didn't mean to leave me
On my own
Alone tonight
I'm gonna gather my strength
Gonna find the power
Then you know I'm gonna make it right
On my own
Alone tonight
I'll find that inner light
I can be strong
Alone
On my own
I can be strong
Alone
On my own
All alone
Ooooh...
Ye-eah
On my own
Oooh..
On my own
Ohhh...
I can be strong....

Dope

You stare back at me
my mirrors is a picture of you
shadows reflecting
and I am torn
unlike you would never laughing
it's harder to smile when you're hurting
this january

and as time's gone by
memories fading
stories like whispers
echo within emptiness
this hole's left vacant

as I go into the middle
when your face offers me little
for every star that's in the sky
I wish that mine was here but it's fading away

you smell of water
the days seem to turn into years
I'm hopeless at counting
and I am torn
it's harder to hold onto something
when all that your holding is nothing
this january

and as time's gone by
memories fading
stories like whispers
echo within emptiness
this hole's left vacant

as I go into the middle
when your face offers me little
for every star thats in the sky
I wish that mine was here but it's fading...

as time's gone by
memories fading
stories like whispers
echo within emptiness
this hole's left vacant

as I fall into the middle
when your ghost offers me little
for every star that slowly dies
I wish that mine hadn't burnt out and faded

Thought this was funny, and in helvetica too (Hammertime at least)

Well...these past few days have been horrible. The heat has finally disappeared. Got my first interview in a while next Tuesday. I kinda hope I don't get it since I'm not really into tech sales...but if I do then whatever I need to save money again.

Did a Skype conference call with Jackie and Tatsu, that was pretty fun, I wonder how many people it can link up with...hmmm.

The new Safeway they opened downtown is pretty...pretty. They call it "The Market" so I'm thinking it's a subsidiary or something of that sort. The place is kind of cramp but they offer free samples like Costco, have their own deli/sushi bar inside which is pretty awesome. I bought a roll of bread and they had this really neat bread slicer in which you can choose the thickness of the slices. I ate it all with the spinach dip I bought, so good *drools*.

Tried to learn a Babyface song on the guitar and failed miserably. I can't finger pick for shit. Might as well pick my damn nose.

Masaru's going to buy a Macbook today, hope he gets it so he can stop getting viruses and malware from browsing stupid pron sites. G'day everyone. :)

Dum

2009-08-25T16:27:00.000-07:00

Dumb.

Dee.

Dumb.

Sup all. Just writing this post because I'm extremely bored. Job hunting has been grueling as always. Irritating to try that hard and get nothing in return. I need to start brewing up some options...One thing I have right now is to keep me occupied by working out at home so I can get back in shape...hope that falls through.

Secondly, I need to read more, might as well be knowledgeable since I'm not getting any experience from school or work.

I think it sucks to live off unemployment. I rather just not be at the apartment all the time, but shit you run out of errands to do after a while.. I've also been thinking of how to visit my girlfriend more, and how to productively spend my day...I'll tell you if I come up with something neat.

Yesterday I made mashed potatoes for the first time in my life; surprisingly it came out really good. I'll make it again sometime, they're that delicious!

I think I'm going to play Poker today with some friends since they canceled yesterday. I really hope that falls through because I really want to demolish some people and steal their money.

My girlfriend recently posted a blog on her situation and a scenario. I've been feeling the butt-end of that conversation...I mean...I've been re-meeting friends and they ask me what I do now, and yeah I can't say anything that would be impressive on any scale. Kind of sad actually...Oh well hope they still like me, hah. Well that's my two cents for now, have a glorious day everyone.

I'll be

2009-07-24T20:47:00.001-07:00

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love`s suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
And you're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive, and not dead

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I`ll be love`s suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And I dropped out, I burned up, I fought my way back from the dead,
I tuned in, I turned on, remembered the thing that you said.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love`s suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Po po po poker face

2009-07-03T10:26:00.001-07:00

Last night was the first day I stepped out my apartment, let alone put on a shirt. Man freedom felt good. I felt like a prisoner in my own home these past few days. So I went to my buddy Jesse's place to play poker with my roommates minus Yan and Jesse's friends. It was a pretty grand experience as I got 4th place, only losing from being uber tired and impatient. I left empty handed but I can't believe I was kicking ass the whole time, *pats myself on the back*.

My sunburn still hasn't healed but I must say, I like having a shirt back on. Came back around 2, sorry I didn't get to talk to you Maria. By the way, Jackie ended up winning everything, a whomping 30 something bucks lol.

Happy early 4th of July everyone, be safe.

It burns

2009-06-29T14:35:00.001-07:00

I went to Warped Tour in SF this past Saturday. Here is the aftermath:

As you can see, I'm not wearing a tank....lol

Blisters....fuck me I'm dumb.

Fuck it sucks lol. Never going out in the sun ever again...Who the hell gets 2nd degree burns from the sun? Me apparently...

Overall I'd say it was worth it, but wasn't worth owning my skin. Sucks trying to sleep with this crap. July 4th is coming up soon, anyone doing anything? Not that I celebrate it, just curious. I'll be out of commission still, assuming skin healing will take a while.

It hurts to move, so i've been just hiding in my room like a hermit...with the shades closed despite the insane heat wave coming through San Jose....figures I'd be in the worst of the worst situations. Been reading a lot of Hajime No Ippo to kill time, drinking gallons of water, and sulking from not being able to have a good nights rest.

So... Been a while since I've written.

I'm so prone to injury it's not even funny. Messed up my wrist doing skull crushers. Messed up my foot from jogging. Now I have lower abdomen pains. Nice right? Wrong!! fuck!#@$%

On the bright side, room's cleaner, girlfriend's still here, and finally settled things with unemployment checks.

Helped the gf move out, (sort of due to shitty injuries). Fun experience overall I would say. Broham coming back soon, hope he can move in so we can have a quest of ultimate fun.

I've been watching anime, reading manga, wasting time on craigslist, and web browsing what a dull life I say.

Going to watch UP on Tuesday, should be a doozy! Until next time ladies and gents.

Never see you again

2009-04-25T11:27:00.000-07:00

I've been thinking on the dry nights
finally no place to hide
as far as alive
I just wanna get inside
Room divides
not really but we seem to lock eyes
set me on fire

I cant believe that we're naked now
I was seeing you in the deepest crowd
Can't believe I felt your heart race with mine

Ooh cause we're naked now

I've gotta make it to the other side

'cause I've been fucking my life up
drinking every night

I cant stop seeing you cry
when I'm laying down to bed
I should've been the one
but I'll never see you again

I've taken time
looking for a new skin
praying for a change to come
changing lives
acting like a school kid
people running left and right

all the while
I can see you doing just fine
I looked you up a thousand times
becuase of that night

I cant believe that we're naked now
I was seeing you in the deepest crowd
cant believe i felt your heart race with mine

ohh and then turn around

I've gotta make it to the other side

'cause I've been fucking my life up
drinking every night

I cant stop seeing you cry
when I'm laying down to bed
I should've been the one
but i'll never see you again

I wanna be your ghost
I wanna be your shadow

I wanna be your ghost
I wanna be your shadow

I wanna be...yeahhhh, yeahhhh. ohh.

ahhh ohh
ahhh ohh
ahhh ohh

I've gotta make it to the other side

'cause I've been fucking my life up
drinking every night

I cant stop seeing you cry
when I'm laying down to bed
I should've been the one
but I'll never see you again

I should've been the one
but I'll never see you again

Hot

2009-04-19T16:32:00.000-07:00

Too hot today. I should just sleep it off.

Had a good time in SF yesterday with my wonderfully sweet girlfriend visiting Lisa for her birthday gathering at Bruno's. Felt like I haven't seen these kids in ages.

I'm still waiting on my unemployment..Jobs don't look too great right now. Need to stop wasting time or else i'll be stuck a rat bum chum

Guys are

2009-04-11T12:21:00.001-07:00

Thought this was funny and very much true. Guys and girls, 2 cents?

1.Guys are more emotional then you think, if they loved you at one point, it'll take them a lot longer then you think to let you go, and it hurts every second that they try.

2. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

3. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

4. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

5. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.

6. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

7. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.

8. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.

9. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.

10. Girls are guys' weaknesses.

11. Guys are very open about themselves.

12. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.

13. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

14. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.

15. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful.If a guy uses that, he likes you a whole hell of a lot.

16. No matter how much guys talk about asses and boobs, personality is key.

17. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.

18. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.

19. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.(haww ??)

20. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.

21. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that. (hmmm)

22. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."

23. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know somethings up.

24. When a guy tells you that you are beautiful, don't say you aren't. It makes them want to stop telling you because they don't want you to disagree with them.

25.When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.

26. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.

27. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.

28. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.

29. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.

30. A guy would give his right nut to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.

31. No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.

32. Not all guys are assholes. Just because ONE is a jackass doesn't mean he represents ALL of us.

33. They love it when girls talk about their boobs.

34. When a guy hits your butt it means that he wants you sexually.

35. Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs.

36. Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it ..it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts.

37. When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible.

Unemployment day 2

2009-04-02T11:02:00.000-07:00

Completed most of my list yesterday just missing my resume update now.

Can't file for unemployment until tomorrow since my termination date isn't effective until 4/3/09.

I guess I should be fortunate that they did this because my health insurance doesn't end until end of April. Guess they aren't that inconsiderate after all.

Unemployment

2009-04-01T10:02:00.000-07:00

First post of 2009 and I'm sick. How dandy. I'm suppose to be clubbing with my gf but I'm at home coughing up a few lungs. Slept too much so now I feel really dazed and out of balance, just taking time to write some nonsense...Going to skip work tomorrow too, hope they don't fire me *crosses fingers*

Christmas / New Year

2008-12-20T15:32:00.000-08:00

It's coming fast. Pretty excited to see everyone. This month has gone by really fast and it seems to be continuing at that rate. I feel happy but sad at the same time. The new year is definitely going to bring in new surprises. I'm lucky to be done with school, and fortunate to have a job in this crap of an economy. My gf is awesome, I'm glad I have her around, wonderful girl I tell ya.

I really hope I can change things at work. Despite the fact that I hate it, I don't really have any choice since so many companies are firing, laying off and going on hiring freezes. Shout out to tatsnack, make sure you release those originals. Your fans await.

Bringing it back old school lol.

I went to get at Kahoo today. Good times, good food. Masaru went to Diesel 4days straight to buy, return, buy and at last, return. Employees there must think this guy has some compulsive disorder of some sort lol. Anyway I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season. Until next time ladies and gents.

Still waiting for that Neon though.

Barbs told me to write a Christmas list. I wonder if I should. My birthday is coming up like speedy gonzalez I wonder what I should do..

My buddy at work was able to make my hard drive to work, so I've been stoked on transferring all my goods. Unfortunately my Mac's HDD is small as hell. Kanye's new album sucks, except for that one Heartless song.

Yes it's that time again. Time to complain about it being too cold. I'm wrapped up like a burrito. God damn. I don't like how San Jose gets extremely hot and extremely cold, it just plain sucks. Anyway last night was pretty fun and funny. Haven't spoken to Tats face to face in a while. That bastard bowl cut = golden.

Still need to finish cleaning, freaking city inspecting our apt complex :/

Excited for tonight, get to dine and watch a movie. Woot to that.

I bought heartshaped chips from Mitsuwa. Pretty darn tasty I must say. I kid you not.

Dear Harout,

Today would've been your 23rd birthday but I'll only remember you as forever 21. Hope you're doing well up there. Miss you even until this day. Sad that i'm here without you, glad that you're living a better day in paradise. Happy birthday and god bless.

You might be gone physically but you'll be in my heart.

Goodnight moon.

Shortness of Life

2008-09-20T23:30:00.000-07:00

Just had some crap strike my head like a lightning bolt, or maybe a light bulb. My little brother had surgery and almost died from loss of blood. With that said, I realize anyone can be gone at any moment. Just...emotions running I guess. Need to seize time while it's still around or else I'll regret it in my afterlife.

Working on a project for work, need to produce good results by Monday.
It's been confirmed that I'll be going to Fletcher, Ohio for three days w/ a sales manager to present in a symposium for our reseller: TigerDirect. Should be a grand experience in a city with a population of 500 something people. I just hope I don't get unlucky and end up like Travis Barker :/

Didn't do much today but sleep, gym, and eat. Call and take care of your loved ones :) Goodnight world.

Hey all...

Just writing about my day. Caught up on all my anime/manga (lol straight otaku style). Finished the laundry. Finished grocery shopping thanks to my dear friend Thaosita.
I'm anxious for a lot of my favorite bands are releasing new albums soon.

Listen to A Wish For The Stars on my post below, it's phenomenally beautiful.

I also tried strumming to the beat of my heart, but it didn't work, fingers hurt now.

I just realized I don't move much at home, need to start doing it soon.

Another lousy day at work tomorrow. Neato.

Is there any one else out there who agrees that the new Facebook is an unaesthetic piece of cluttered poo?

Quite a boring Saturday. Hi blog, just felt like taking a break from cleaning my cluttered room. Music is on blast. Feels good. I feel like I need to keep busy or else I'll waste today doing nothing. Not my thing to do nothing. Anyway, been trying to promote Tatsu & my roommate Masaru's music (youtube.com/snacku05 and youtube.com/christmasjammies if y'all want to take a gander). Hope they get known on Youtube even if it takes years. Time to take over the world muahaha!

2008-09-05T21:49:00.000-07:00

So I finally started. Life's started. First month at work, feels different. I'm glad I don't have to walk to class anymore. Don't know what to expect now since work is so much more than I fathomed. I want to thank Professor Roldan for the good wishes (if you still read this boring blog). I wished it was a little better but what can I say? No industry experience can't get you far.

Had to see a good friend off. Pretty sad, hope he's doing well w/o knowing how to speak mandarin in Shanghai.

Feels good to be able to pay for things without having to worry. Next goal is to get a car.

I really need to catch up on sleep. Absolutely.

Been bar hopping/clubbing with good friends. Brings back memories. I like.

Need to slim down again. I don't like my gut. I hate it very much. Thanks for being awesome people. I'm really glad to have friends who care. Time to listen to music. Bye all. (no one really reads this anyway; just talking to myself)

Wake up call

2008-08-16T17:53:00.000-07:00

Tough times, well they come and go.
But somehow this time, that isn't so.
I've got too much time, to think of the things that I've lost.

This city, it used to be fun.
And I felt so free, but now that she's gone,
It's been so lonely. I'm finding it harder to breathe.
When will I wake up, and open my eyes,
This feeling takes up too much of my time.
Is she really worth it? I don't know.

Now all I want is to talk with her,
Then she'd find, this was all a mistake in leaving behind,
And never think of this again.
I turn on the radio for,
Advice. This song's on. It's asking the same questions that I've got.
It's good to know I'm not alone.

I dream of standing in a pay phone, just blocks from her house,
And I said "Hey girl, why don't you come out?
I don't expect you to let me in. I know you never let anyone in."
Then she looked out her window,
And down past the rain,
And she said "Don't move. I can't lose you again."
The sound of that phone falling, as she came running towards me,

But, before she got there, I was awake,
And she was not there. I couldn't take,
The emptiness that found me, now loneliness surrounds me again.

Tough times, well they come and go.
But somehow this time, that isn't so.
I've got too much time to think of the things that I've lost.

When will I wake up, and open my eyes,
This feeling takes up too much of my time.
Is she really worth it? I don't know.

(I don't want to wake up so)

I closed my eyes tight, and I tried to go back.
It was a long night, but I couldn't go back.
I only dreamt of falling, It's when I dreamt of falling, then I wake up.

Temptation

2008-07-09T18:11:00.000-07:00

You know how you feel like you're so close in attaining something but never get there?

I feel like that right now in terms of job hunting. I'm being picky, and I can't seem to find what I want to do, at least with my lack of experience. I told myself I'd do anything but become a slave to IT. Sure the pay is alright, but I can't picture myself fixing and building machines all day. Such a dull life...Damn the slow economy and myself for graduating a year later.

San Jose really needs to rid of their heat wave, because as of now I'm dying. It hit a record 101 degrees yesterday. Woot to that.

I've been keeping myself busy. Trying to get skinny again, signed up for 24hr fitness, hopefully that will work out in a year or so.

Until next time.

Requiem

2008-05-22T18:29:00.000-07:00

to the ground, take flight
if the beat is right she'll dance all night
tonight, the time
you're always thinking of yourself
and i? it suits me better
to think we never meant anything at all
when the ink turns red she said:
''oh honey, it's all eventual''

to say that slowly
surely, would be the same as
laying down and saying
''i'm dying now in your eyes
because i can see there's still love
in your eyes''

and as we count to 3
are we winning now?

(yeah)
we'll say the same prayers
(swear)
you'll see me oh so differently
(pulled you in my darling)
I pulled you in my darling
over and over again

I believe in ghosts
thats crawl through lives
inspired by what it means
my life, my breath, my blood
and everything in between
the question's whether the time
is better spent running to be sure
when the ink ran dry she sighed
''oh baby, i couldn't ask for more''

to say that slowly
surely, would be the same as
laying down and saying
''i'm dying now in your eyes
because i can see there's still love
in your eyes''

and as we count to 3
are we winning now?

(yeah)
we'll say the same prayers
(swear)
you'll see me oh so differently
(pulled you in my darling)
I pulled you in my darling
over and over again

Just taking a break. I wish it wasn't so hot in San Jose. I've been listening to a lot of new music, really soothing for the mind.

Time to begin taking three showers a day again, like last summer >_<.

Hm. So many things to do, so little time *sigh*

Have a glorious day.

Say anything at all

It's like everything's changing but all of it stays the same now

Another boring day at work. Took me forever to pull out this stupid power supply on an ugly Dell machine. Been going to the gym more often now; feels good to be somewhat active again. I think I should start playing bball again. Guitar practice has been going well, fingers are healing just fine ;)

2008-03-14T00:10:00.000-07:00

There's this place we call home
But for me I don't know where to go
I don't know what I'm supposed to be
Or who I am
I feel so damn lost in the cold

There's this thing called the heart
Well mine beats in the rhythm of the dark
I can't find what my purpose is
Or who i am
I feel so damn lost in this world

Saving the worlds not enough
Maybe if i knew a little more about love
Then I could finally find who I am
And then you'll agree
There's more than me than what you see.

2008-01-17T19:25:00.000-08:00

I'll slide into my minds tricks again,
I...Can't hide or decide whether you're giving in.
Do you...Take pride in all the times missed,
when i'm left to cry.
Am i the man on the side.

Don't think i've changed,
Am i putting to much pressure on us to make it.
Right here i'll wait,
But don't make me break.

Down, i don't need the space.
Don't make me fall,
Down, when i'm needing.
Cause you and i were right.
It was you and i for life.
Don't let me down.

Slow down.
Please don't throw us away,
there's love here, slow down.
I don't want this, i just want you to call.
Tired of waking up drowning in this
memory of love...love

Don't think i've changed,
Am i putting to much pressure on us to make it.
Right here i'll wait,
But don't make me break.

Down, i don't need the space.
Don't make me fall,
Down, when i'm needing.
Cause you and i were right.
It was you and i for life.
Don't let me down.

Slow down
Slow down
Slow down

Can't you see you've shut me down.

Down, i don't need the space.
Don't make me fall,
Down, when i'm needing.

Down, i don't need the space.
Don't make me fall,
Down, when i'm needing.
Cause you and i were right.
It was you and i for life.

Please don't make me fall down.
