Soooo good. Until next time.
I been collecting one too many of these:
New
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.

Valentine
Valentine's day is coming up, so I thought I'd share this awesome video.
Celebrating my girlfriend's birthday was one of the best times I've had in a while. Fun fun fun. Good times.

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?"

Black Bean & Garlic Spare ribs
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

Rain
Hearing the clacking sounds of rain on people's rooftops are purty annoying.Lets see...still have my wicked cough..
Still cold..
Preparing...dun dun dun
Dear Blogger,
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.

Watched Zomieland instead of Paranormal Activity (sorry barbs we made it a last minute decision after we found out the midnight showing was sold out.)
1 Year anniversary coming up for Maria and I. Super stoked about that. LOVEs.
Eating spicy nacho cheese doritos. Yum.
I made some cool udon with cauliflower, came out pretty tasty woot.
Good day everyone.
