  • So, the 21... I've escaped all attempts to make me sick with alcohol, don't feel any different, but I guess its freedom...?


    Work Work Work, recovering all PTO lost for vacation.


    Only 2 more weeks of summer, and yet I still have so much to do, craps. Thank god for online registering and the net in general. But I'm making progress, yesss.


    Nice have Thien here, just need more time for grappling and cooking, thats all. Good Times.


    Looks like 17 hours this semester with a 45-hr/week job. So many bills to pay for, and I hope I can take care of everything we need. =o


    My room is a mess, but thats why I'll clean up after this blurt. I appreciate people reading my blurts and commenting them on AIM, keep it coming. Thanks Thanks.


    Ahh, Mr. Don Ho is back from his biking trip to Alaska and flying to Korea for a year. I wish him luck and take care of himself, don't get a local girl pregnant and then forced to bring her home, haha. jk. Have fun man. TDA inc. can still be made eh?


    Of course, I have to include stuff about food. Hmm... Todai is an all you can eat seafood buffet, and they let you eat for free on your b-day, when its usually (25+$). It was decent good, they expanded their sushi buffet in Willow Bend. Its as good as a buffet can be I supoose, but I got my fill with sushi.


    Mmmhh, been craving cereal randomly of the late... Kix, Pops, and Cinni Toast Crunchies.


    I wish I took more pix so I could post, but I keep frogetting...


    Blah Blah, Yadda Yadda, Life is what you make of it. It's all just filler, nothing awesome has happened of the late, therefore I will leave and clean my apartment before I start talking about how foie gras is made of something to that sort.


    Take care amigos and mi familia, I tried visiting as many people as possible this summer, I'll try harder on next break. Till then, take cares and I love a whole lot of ya. Laterrr.

July 26, 2004

  • 3 weeks later...


    I'm back from a pretty full break. So full of food, asian from Cali and Cajun from New Orleans. Thanks for everything aunt and uncle for making Cali what it is. and Thanks to friends who tagged along to make New Orleans possible.


    So what did I do alot of the time on break? Eat of course, ha, anyone couldve guessed that...


    Ah, what? Its Me, Bo, my aunt, and Thien (chinatown):


    Here's half of the people that was at the 4th of July celebration in Cali, all related to me, watching a poop load of fireworks my uncle bought for us ^^:
    p.s.: see that puddle? my lil cousin almost peed on me! he's only 5. Grrrrr.


    One of the better things in Life. Definitely.


    70% of the summer list is done, but I still got the harder 30 to go =/


    I've tried, I really have, those who were around me know I got over my last relationship mostly to myself, crying, not eating, not sleeping, depression all to myself...


    Months later, I find myself still being referred as someone that (she) wish she wouldn't have met...


    I have a memory too, all relationships has its ups and downs, but I've been an optimist all my life, and thus remember the good times as well, instead of the bad, isn't that what memory is for also...?


    Not once have I uttered a single word of hate, of regret, or anything negative…


    yet, I'm not worthy to be a part of someone's past...


    I guess its time to lighten my chest...


    Before I start of the foreshadowed paragraph that is to be typed, I would like to state how I trully feel relationships work, and it is what holds especially true for first time serious relationships from my experience of friends and acquaintances. If the male of the relationship restrains feelings himself and even makes an ass of himself, once in a while when he does something unselfish, or even just something a little bit nicer, the female looks at it as if he cares, and takes into consideration that act of kindness much more valuable than example #2's male. I guess girls feel like Example#1 guy is a challenge and they can, with enough effort, change him into a better guy, and keep at it at a relationship. Example #2 is the type of male that fell head first into the relationship, gives up everything he has, and shows his feelings with no limit, even hurting himself in the process, unfortunately the female of this particular relationship takes the acts of kindness for granted and whoop! there goes male #2. I have seen so many of my good guy friends becoming #2, truly great guys, which are gentlemen to the ladies out there. And yet, they are passed up for lesser goods. Life is Irony.


    I, unfortunately, but with no regrets, have become a #2 myself. I sacrificed family and friends time, to the point where the people I knew and was close to, before the mentioned relationship had even occurred, began to get upset with me. Chose a university based on being close to the person I had started this relationship with. Gave all my efforts to drive up and always set time aside to make sure the relationship had ample amounts. Maxed out my limit on money many times to be able to do so. When her (A) belly rumbled, I cooked or bought food. When (A) was bored, there were movies, malls, and the like. When an occasion came up, eating out and gifts was the answer. I feel uncomfortable letting the female pay. I remember the small things that make a girl feel like a lady, opening doors, hand at the small of the back, pulling out chairs, and things of that nature. I never ever paid any attention to any other girls, regardless of attractiveness, intelligence, or entertainment value. So many things to say, but time is running out because I have to go soon, but I think you all get my gist. I, with all my heart, know I am a genuine good guy. All my friends and family can vouch for my loyalty and reliability as someone to know. It is just painful to be referred to as someone that anyone wished they would've never met, esp. when I did care so much for that person...


    I cannot help how Life turns out but only make the most of it. We all have our own yays and nays, but I suppose its all about how we take the news thats the most important. I am still living life without regrets, making decisions that everyone has to make at some point or another in Life. Everything we do is all up to ourselves...


    There is only one thing that has been said that is correct so far.Yes, I am much happier now than I was before. I've grown so much, learn that much more, and have found many things much better.


    Back from a quick trip back to midland. Still boring and kinda trashy as it always has been, but still reliable in having the same ol' Midland feeling I guess. My mom always being very perceptive as usual, and her uncanny ability to judge a person after meeting them once. She has always been right before, and I hope she continues to be right. Something tells me she is. Crazy how fast time flies by eh, friends? I went by the old places we all use to go by. Grasslands, mall, bowling alley, etc. Just driving by to reminesce. I miss Rosa's cafe. Good old times.


    In a fortnight my brother shall be here. Nguyens filling up this apartment fast. Ha.


    Ah, time flew, I have to go to the gym. I hope you all are kind of entertained, if not, hey, I didnt say it would be. =) But take care family and friends, and I'll see you as soon as I can.

    Ha, I'm on a plate:

June 30, 2004

  • My vacation finally begins. teehee.


    Hmm, before I depart, I suppose an update should be suffice.


    It took me some time, but of course, around 2-3 months ago, I realized perhaps things are for the better. And over a month ago, I decided maybe getting a new special person to hang and talk with, would be a good idea. So last month, following some friends' advice, I set up 6 dates to take place in a span of three weeks. After dating the fourth however, I decided she was it, my new friend ^^|. I skipped out on the last two, sorry! if you ever read this, but it is meant with the best intentions. But her name is Anna, and she's also a Nguyen, haha, and I'm sure you all meet her soon enough if not already. Life is full of stuff, you just gotta reach out and grab. =)


    As I'm typing this, getting ready to go to Cali with my dad and brother, : D. We'll be hitting the yummiest of yummies, and doing whatever Cali has to offer. I should be back within a week, and then a bit of work, then maybe off to New Orleans? : p. If I like ya, maybe I'll bring something back, keke.


    Damn my net is so unstable, the modem is like poopoo ca-ca, keeps going out. New modem hopefully should be arriving in a few days, get here before I come back.


    Learning something new everyday is just as important as finding something to smile about once a day.


    I just bought these new SUPER cool cards, called Bicycle Black Tiger Cards. Check 'em out. below:
    http://search.ebay.com/black-tiger-cards_W0QQsokeywordredirectZ1QQfromZR8


    Content. Happy. Joy. Etc. I hope this keeps up, pleaseee.


    Sushi, mmhh... I'm getting into that expensive groove again... Spider rolls, paradise rolls, tempura rolls, salmon sashimi, spicy shrimp rolls, salmon skin rolls, I need to stop...


    Korean House has super awesome lunch specials in bento boxes that come with soup and asian crackers too, heh and theyre less than 10 dollars...mmhhh....


    Speaking of food, everyone if you like calamari, go down to A DONG in houston off Belaire. Their calamari is to Kill for. I ordered 3 orders to make sure everyone got some. YUM.


    I know I know... I talk about food too much... : x


    Need to save up more PTO, I wanna take more trips trips. : o


    July 4th: Hmm, independence day. and another day too.


    I'm typing like crap since I started this blurt, similar to a bulimic dehyrdated crack head would talk. Therefore I'm forcing myself to stop before I sound even more dumb (if possible ^^). But friends family, I miss and I love. Take care, smile more, and be happier, I'll help if I can, just callll. = P Off to Cali.


    P.S. I'll be missing you, maybe?. ^^

June 6, 2004

  • A fortnight flew by yet again. And here I am. Haven’t had the chance to finish another novel yet, as “The Life of Pi” proved to be a very slow and boring book, but I’m trying to get past it. Life as always is full of surprises, and I’m very thankful for them, hehe. I’m racking my brain to decide what to write… give me a sec…


     


    Enlightening. The word I would choose to describe how I have been for the past couple of months. We all go do things on our own, and to prove that we are mature young adults, yet it amazes me that there is so much to learn, and some things that we had believe so whole-heartedly can be proven not to be the best course to take. I have truly changed for the better, and there is no look of regret for things and the path I have chosen in the past, for it led me to where I am today. Content.


     


    Along Came Polly, a movie starring Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. At first I had thought they would make a weird couple, and create an awkward taste in the mouth for those that watch it. Admittedly, there are corny parts but surprisingly, it was a great movie. A feel good film by all means, and the way Stiller and Aniston interacted proved it a worth while movie to watch on your free time. It gets my thumbs up. P.S. Does that guy remind you all of Jack Black also…?


     


    Haha, we all have gone and seen Shrek 2, I’m sure. It’s a good laugh, and will make adults and children smile alike, better than the first in my opinion. The cat was cute, I think we all have to acknowledge that fact. But it was hilarious when he was caught licking himself. ^^|.


     


    Everyone yes, wants to be busy, but some people have to understand that there are times when there is nothing to do. Instead of sitting there all depressed, take it and enjoy it. Having a busy loaded schedule isn’t always a mean of satisfaction. I wish I had more free time…


     


    I realize this whole entry is just randomness, but aren’t they all? Its just a place to express opinion, and its my two cents. So take it with a glass of water, or acid I don’t care. =)


     


    hopefully... South Padre Island, New Orleans, Fayetteville, and Los Angeles.


     


    Its ALL perspective.


     


    I wish I could just transfer my tux, and avatars… = (


     


    Put in contacts BEfore shaving.


     


    *does the running man*


     


    Asian food. The bestest bestest food on Earth. Mmmmmmhhhhhhh.


     


    Beck – Lost Cause. Nice.


     


    Teehee, Keke, etc.


     


    I should get a move on, as I hope this was at least mildly entertaining. But hey, Have an awesome summer friends and family. I will see you all sometime soon I hope. Bye bye.

May 21, 2004

  • My first new entry in my new much liked apartment…


     


     Lets start off a bit bad, then ease into the good shall we? Ahhh… 3 tickets in 3 months… are all the PIGS in the world against me?? As many of you know, I have an innate inability to drive the laughable speed limits, it just IRKS me like none other just abiding to such low speeds. It takes quite a bit of my concentration just to keep it at the edge of what is considered legal. Aiyaa, there goes money down the poop chute for donuts for the fat lazy bastards. Note to self: Concentrate Hard. (>.<)


     


    Ahh, what luck. These new apartments only have DSL, and the first modem they send me is broken! As a friend, you all should know the geeky part of tri aches and pains without his net , even when hes not using it.. *tear*.  But at least its back up now.


     


    Been through a few more novels recently, around 7 novels of the prestigious drow Drizz’t of R.A. Salvatore’s creation. But an out of the ordinary one I just finished, was The Five People You Meet in Heaven by same author of Tuesdays with Morrie , Mitch Albom. It can be perceived in many different lights, depending on the reader, meant to be used as a feel-good book is the best I can describe. An example is a soldier stating, “ Sacrifice is a part of Life, its something that is supposed to be, and its something to aspire to. Many times sacrificing something precious, big or small, you don’t really lose it, but instead pass it on to someone else.” I guess its lessons about Life that perhaps a reasonably intelligent being would figure out sometime in life anyways, else for the less intelligent masses can read this and perhaps find some sort of guidance. It is a unique read, short and straight to the point. Perhaps it can get some people to smile, I caught myself smiling once in a while. Life is short, and everyone goes through thick and thin, some harder than others, but we all do what we do, and if you are mature enough to get past the smaller things in life, the bigger things will appear even brighter.


     


    Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz is definitely one of his better books although being his newest one. It revolves around a protagonist that sees dead people and risks his life and limbs trying to solve their problems and prevent others. However what struck me as the most involving part of the novel was his relationship with beautiful Stormy, the girl he dates and loves. When they talk to each other, the comical yet realistic conversations drew me in, until I actually cared about what happens between the two, as well as laughing at the jokes they laugh at, and be sad at the events they mourn at. The ending although not exactly original will definitely make the reader realize how much he/she is actually into the characters themselves. Thumbs Up, good job mr. Koontz.


     


    Next up: Life of Pi by Yang Martel.


     


    My Family I cant seem to stop loving them enough… One of the things in life I can truly thank God for, J.


     


    Ahh summer approaches, and I got summer school and full time job, but I wanna do and go to so many different places. Family and Maddy is must, after that…*scratches head* what to do what to do…


     


    Ha, asianavenue has a new “flirt” service where one would post his or her pic, and general info. Those who have interest can send a blinking light, saying they have admirers, but to send an actual note, it costs money, Haha. What a way to make money by charging people to talk to others, its basically a dating service, sneaky website. However point being, out of boredom one day, my lil brother and I both created profiles for shiz and gigglez. Haha, the types of people that appear on there, I wish them all luck. Seems like my lil brother and I are tied on admirers. A race that doesn’t mean anything then just for kicks ^.^ . Heh, silly things the net has.


     


    Lub Dub the Franciscan, cannot stress enough. 10 mins away from Walmart and the Mall and School. Middle of all these restaurants and shops, yet hidden to be quiet at night. Cant believe how expensive Dallas is… but LUV to cheaper prices in smaller towns. Makes moving from 8 am – 2 am worth it. : p


     


    Troy, the best quote of the movie was by Achilles himself:


    “…the Gods envy Us. They envy Us because we are mortals. It is the actual realization of the unavoidable doom in the end that makes each moment in Life that much more beautiful and fleeting. They envy Us…”


     


    Right Left Right Left, gotta keep moving peeps! Theres progress to be made!


     


    Walk around with your net out. Make a Huge one.


     


    Wow, its already a year at Cooks. : )


     


    Note II to self: Making people feel better/good, feels Great.


     


    I wish I knew html, trying to pick it up slowly, and my xanga will be much prettier…


     


    Well I should stop before I start babbling, as if I haven’t already ^^. Anyways, Family…Friends… *tips hat*, take care of yourselves please. Everyone else… go open your mind a bit more. Buh Byez.

May 9, 2004

  • A fortnight and a half already. This should be the last entry to this xanga from the ghetto preston del norte apartments I am stuck at. Yay. Heh, so summer is almost upon us, and its surprising how well it snuck up, I hope everyone has a great summer.


    Books have recently made an entry to part of my things to do. Having able to read a number of novels the past few weeks. I will reccomend, although I know its already a hype: The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. Its been on the top sellers list for over a year, and there's a good reason for why it has been. But I thought his last book, Angels and Demons, out-did the Da Vinci by a wee bit. But hey, read both and see for yourselves. Amazon sells them quite cheap, *wink*.


    Sad day, on May 5th, 2004. End of Friends. As many of you know, I'm a good fan of Friends, and its unfortunate that it has to end. I already bought season 1-9 dvds, and will buy the 10th when it comes out. Everyone has a tv show they like to call their favorite, as mine happens to be Friends. I feel this show has many points that can relate to the life we live, its up and downs, and the things we should be thankful for. I'm sure many others feel the same way about their own favorite shows. Oh well, its been a good run, thanks for an entertaining show.


    It just stinks when you try to help a friend you care about, only to be rejected. I have a friend whose is going out with a person I feel she doesnt really need to be going out with. He is less attractive, less intelligent, less sucessful, and a few years younger. Mentioning a few of his faults, she got upset and said some harsh things in return. Just makes me realize, its unfortunate but thats how this silly life works. Many good people will end up with people they believe is perfect for them. But love, or what they can call love will weld them so close and tight with who they believe is the One, regardless of what their friends and family can say. If she is trully happy to be the one supporting the family, and his annoying and rude habits, then I can't do anything until she learns. I hope it will hit her soon, there are plently of choices out there, and she can be much happier. Reminds me of a verse from St. Patrik's prayer: "...give me the strength, to accept those things I cannot change."


    It's been hitting me lately with the full moon, that I have frogotten some of the most beautiful things in the world is just natural. I drive at night with my windows and sunroof open, just to breathe in the night air and stare at the moon. I wish I could just sit on the beach or on a cliff at night just to stare and take everything in. Some of the most enjoyable things in life are quite possibly the simplest.


    On the bright side:


    - My brother will be going here for a year, haha.
    - Fishes.
    - Life is what you make of it.


    Sorry, no pix have past my inspections to be posted yet. Perhaps next time?


    Here we are again, another end to a blurt. I hope you enjoyed reading, else go eat poop! haha, jk. Take care friends and family. Everyone else, improve yourselves.


     

April 19, 2004

  • Haha, I decided to join premium after all the ads and stuff they send. Still moving along, skipping rocks here and there. But definitely, especially after Easter, I gotta show the world the two people I love most, without them, there would be no me. I have been through so much, and yet they have nothing but faith and support. What I am doing with my life, and what I plan to do, I aim mainly for them to be even more proud of me. Thank You: Me, Bo for everything you've given me, and everything you will give in the future. I realize all the things they sacrificed for me, and I will forfeit the whole ensemble for them in an instant. I wish them happiness, and I will love them forever. Corny this little blurt might be, but its straight honest from my heart like alot of things I say. Well thats all folks.


    I am not most photogenic person in the world...


    Mum and I:





    Pop and I:



    Thats all the ones I'll post for now. Later to come, the rest of my family.


    Take care FnF

April 5, 2004

  • First off, Thanks for all those who have been with me, I cant thank you enough for the help, and I will gladly help any of you in return of course. Second, I apologize to those I have been a little rude to, some stuff was flying, I'll be nicer, no more mean.


    Dang, has it been over 2 months already? Today is 04/04/04, even though its past midnight, I like to think of it that way until I sleep. I have taken notice on these dates since 2001. 01/01/01, 02/02/02, you get the point. And here I be another blurp in my xanga. I'll try to filler up.


    Since my accident, nothing crazy has happened I guess... The past 2 months, least I have to say is interesting... Life = Things. Thats all I can really say, else other than that, I dont have much to say about the recent times thats public knowledge.


    New Things: I got a new car, a trusty toyota, my new solara. Cant like sony anymore than their nice digital cameras, heh. Small new wallet to keep my disorganized cards, in ..um.. order.


    thespark.com, I'm sure some of you have seen it, a slow work day + internet = results that I am about to type...


    Personality Test:
    Like 6% of the population, you are a Performer. Personable, Self-assured, and excellent under pressure. You are extroverted and strong willed, which in combination means you are great with people and arent willing to let opportunities pass you by. Congrats, I'm sure all the peons you stepped over never saw it coming, and you like being naked. Anyhow, you have formidable creative talents and you often follow your heart rather than your logical mind. Your exuberance may gain you many admirers and friends, but it can itimidate less confident people away.


    ( I guess some of those things can be true, yet one or two words may be a bit strong, which ones? You have to find out for yourself. Although I do like being naked... notice the sarcasm.)


    Wealth Test:
    Congratulations! Based on inflation, taxes, and anticipated world economy...your financial outlook, which you can expect to be worth your first million at 34 years old.


    (I certainly hope this is true, paths I plan to take on I promise will take care of my family)

    Pickup Test:
    You have achieved the Golden Mean (50%). Do you know my friend steve? You're just like him - he's this cool guy, whose attractive, and funny. Regardless, you like to flirt, but not with ugly people. When you look into the eyes of the right person, you know how to turn sparks into a towering inferno. But sometimes you just dont give some people the time of the day. In general you smell good. Fun Fact: 14% are more pick-upable than you.

    (*rubs chin*)


    Dateable Test:
    Damn Rico, you are 83%. Attractive and confident, witty and charming, a healthy diet. You're wanted in 48 contigous states, you slayer. Call me. Seduce me. Make me a woman. Not only do you know how to turn a girl's engine on, you also know how to lube, rotate, and oil it. You put the "elation" back into relationship, and night into "one-night-stand". Fun Fact: 87% are less dateable than you.

    (*rubs chin yet again*) 


    Best Friend Test:
    Three Amigos, Three Musketeers, Three Horsemen? You belong, dude, you Belong. Some people put their neck out for their friends, you put your ass on the line. And by the way, nice ass (thanks?). People know they can count on you in a crunch, jam, and other food metaphors describing desperation. You give the gift of hope. Your rewards in life will be great, or at least better than many people. Fun Fact: 2% are as trustworthy as you.


    (I try to help, if you know me pretty well, you have probably seen my ass  thrown out on the line before. Good times, life is what it is.)

    Answered all the quizzes as honestly as I could. But hey, they're all just internet made, for shits and giggles. Shitted and giggled I did. This blurp was just filler I realize, until things are elgible and worthy to be typed, all thoughts are in here *taps head*. I hope you all turned your clock foward this morning. Well here I go, taking more steps, and moving to progress. I Will make my family proud, and friends happy to know me. I got some cards up my sleeve amigos, let's hope itll be magical. G'nite and G'luck to family and friends. And a tiny bit for the rest of the world, even to those that don't deserve it...

January 29, 2004

  • Its me again. Been a while since Ive been here to update. Heh, its the asian new years, and more bad luck to follow me. Happy new years to you asian friends, and to those that want to celebrate it. On January 16th, driving home from work,  I hit some wet slippery spot on the road, and my car flipped four times. Paramedics found me an hour later, and cut me out with the Jaws of Life or whatever. Here I am now, saved by God,  for what reasons I have been trying to find out, but I am thankful. My new is300, was a damn good car, and we had our very fun times during the almost two months I had it. I'll keep it in mind, to think about buying another similar car, after I grow up.
    For now, I believe a 2-door accord or camry will do. Nothing excessive, nothing to ghetto and dangerous. I got out of the accident, with lacerations all over the left side of my head, and as well to my left leg. My left arm, banged up, bruised over. My neck and upper spine, extremely sore from being shaken like a ragged doll, forced to wear a neck brace until my appointment today to see if I may go back to work. My internals saved by the seatbelt, took a beating from the steering wheel,giving me bruised pancrease, lungs, and ribs. Glass from the window, windshield and moonroof broke, and decided to randomly impale themselves in my skin. Sideair bag deployed, but front airbags did not. I have opted to go heal the natural way, by not filling the prescription for some pretty big Lortabs (painkillers) and Ranitidine (Nausea) pills, and instead dieted on rice, fish, and veggies. I have also been drinking alot of juices and eating plenty of fruitto keep my body healthy. The car is completely gone naturally,  and the insurance company has taken over a whole week to contact and give me my check, which makes it a crappy one. I will be forced to make some calls today and get it sent. Heh, it is crazy, how although injured, much worse could've happened. My friends thank for different reasons. Some believe it is just luck, others say its b/c I was only going 60, or b/c my car was well built and protected, or it was meant to happen, and last but not least, I was saved my the grace of God himself. I know many people have completely changed views on life, if they have suffered a near-death experience. Personally, I guess I am trying to find a way to improve my life the way I lived before. My goals before was just to work and school, so I may go out to be sucessful in life, to support my mom and dad, as well as a new family for myself, and to do so with very comfortable living conditions. I attend school full time, and work full time in a hospital an hour away. I have been working hard, as well as battling the regular problems of life, and bearing the pain that life gives. I wonder, for what reason was I saved with only the injuries I recieved, and for me to survive. Don't think that I am not thankful, because I am of course, very glad that I still have everything intact, and most of all, my friends and family did not have to be sad.
    Keeping my head up, after the accident. I have missed two weeks of school, and two weeks of work. Without a car I have to depend on others to drive me, until the lazy insurance company can cough up a check, thus allowing me to pay of the rest of the is300, and to purchase a new car. Rental car places do not allow people under 21, instead of 18 like truck rentals, to drive their vehicles. Although it  has occured to me, through experience, that driving big 8-10 wheelers are more dangerous and difficult than regular cars. Just yesterday, the apartment people, came to put a lock on my doorknob, making it impossible to come back inside if the front door was closed from the outside. It seems my trust in my friend, Mr. John Weeks, might have been to optimistic. They came to get the money, that I was told has been paid off. Mr. Weeks, if you are reading this, you currently owe them 1500. If things are good, then I may have to pay the 1500, and my  rent, allowing me to leave from this hellhole in June. If bad, I will have to sign a new contract, and pay even more than 1500 total and forced to stay here until August. Mr. Weeks, once again, if you read this, if it comes down to me paying 1500,  your debt to me shall be 2500, for your first check to me has bounced and caused many late fees to incur. I have had a bad luck run with roomates. First roomates were bad, and liked to get into my room and use my stuff. My cousin, who I loved and trusted, was not able to find a job while being my 2nd year roomate, forcing me to use up my school money to pay bills that I have frogotten, since I feel sorry for her. Moving out, I had thought it would be a great decision, trusting a friend, I paid bills and lent money again. I offered him 2 automatic hiring jobs, that would've paid well, and enough to be comfortable in college. But he did not even try for them in return, and now owes me a grand. So now my door is locked from the outside. Watching 2 movies, that were critically acclaimed in Japan. Wild Zero and Ichi the Killer, has brain f*cked me as some would say. Both movies, completely random in plot, completely twisted in events, and disturbing graphics in return, made me more depressed about life. I live still and within this weekend, which I wished to be able to go to austin, instead I might will have to spend it to buy a new car, catch up on two weeks of schoolwork, take care of insurance, get my VERY much missed internet back; its off for some reason, and discuss apartment matters and will probably end up blowing 1500 dollars that I had believed as a friend, was paid off. Things seem so bleak, and so dark for the future, even darker than before the accident. Makes me again, ponder those people who see a much brighter perspective on life after these type  of experiences, how it is to me, it seems darker.....
    But for those that know me, I am me, and I don't like to  give up that easily, and am still battling it out to get sh*t in order. I will just have to wait till the next day I may see an angel, that makes my spirit soar, and me smile no matter what the circumstances may be. For those guys out there who are too "manly" to enjoy sensitive movies, you  all are missing out. Just because one may feel sad after watching a drama, or happy because a fictional couple end up together, does not make on any less or more manly than before. I have cried at sad movies, and enjoyed seeing happy romantic endings, but I can assure, I kick no less ass, and enjoy fighting no less than before. I can still play sports and participate in any "manly" activity that I have before, with the same amount of enthusiasm, and will power just as before. Due to my mom's working, I have been able to be more comfortable to feel what I feel, and enjoy the sensitive side of things. It hurts to see my country in poverty, where people work hard for what a simple hamburger flipper here could get in an hour. It hurts when I hear of little children in pain, and treated wrongly. I love my niece, for she can make me easily cry if something was to happen to her, or easily make me laugh and smile as i chase her around the house, laughing and running away from me.I have alot of sympathy for this world. But so many things go wrong, and I anger as well. Anger at all the rapists and pedophiles, that get off w/o a death sentence. Anger at the government, working so hard to punish drug users,  and to get fines that are owed to them, rather than after the drug makers themselves, and money owed to injured citizens. But it is life, and there are things to enjoy and things that makes life, well, life. A movie, that is in my !MUST SEE! list, for both guys and girls, is " My Sassy Girl ". A movie which I CANNOT STRESS how much one is missing from life, if he or she does not see it. I have seen it 4 times, and EVERY time, I enjoyed it fully and completely as I did the first. ALL those friends I have shared the movie with, have purchased their own dvd's or made cds of the movie, to share with other friends and aquantinces. It is a movie that will make one, feel happier, feel the need to go on with life despite problems, and to try harder as what one does. I like to watch it when I am most down, because it has not failed to raise my spirits yet. It gives me hope for the future, and I rate it a perfect 10. Flawless from beginning to end, it does an outstanding job at what it does. Crazy amounts of similar movies of the same genre, appeared after the success of this movie. It is Korean and if you dont speak it then buy it with subtitles, and everyone needs to find a copy and take a couple of hours to sit and enjoy the movie, I promise you will feel it is well spent. I have made plans to watch it again today, because I feel a need for a lift of spirits. I wish I had the time, as well as everyone, for me to go and sit down and talk with everyone for an hour or so, just to say how much I love, or cherish them as friend, family or more.  But for those that I talk to, do know that you are something to me, and I will hold you the trust of a friend that I like to give to all good friends of mine, and I wish you good luck on whatever you want to aspire to, as long as it is not  detrimental to innocent people. Family I love you with every bone in my body 100%, thank you for caring, and to come down to dallas to check on me, and of course, I offer you my life in return as always for the better for my family. And more, I wish I had time to tell and express how I feel to each individual who fit this catagory. I realize I do have some hate pent up inside, wanting, wishing to be able to do justice in this world, but with every single person that I wish would die, there are 2-3 more that I wish to live and be happy. And that is how I feel, regardless of what I say sometimes when I get frustrated. I wish for a way to show everyone, that I Will succeed in life, and wish to show everyone, that I am trying hard to make things work, and to live life normally, as well as to enjoy it. Some things you love, can be so difficult to pass up, because of the love you have for it. Like it would be practically impossible to give up the internet, or driving, or many other things which I have loved for so long. As for people, please do realize, due to my schedule I can't hang with everyone I wish to relax with, and that if I take time to see anyone outside of school and work, all I want is for them to know they have to mean the World to me, to be able to find the little amount of time I have to spend with them. All I can assure to those that look at me with hope, is that I am trying hard, and do not like to give up. For pretty muchall my life, since I started to work for my parents at 9, the battle for my life started. I hope to make everyone that knows me, proud, and for all those that look up at me, to continue to look up at me. I want to be a good example, of whatever I strive to be, and I will try to hurt as little people as I can on my journey to become whoever I will be. As for friends and family, I never want you to be hurt, and wish only good. As parting words:


    Family: Full of love, and willing to give everything.


    Friends : Let's kick some ass, and complete tasks set before.


    Religious: I hope God has more good planned for me.


    Those who are down: F*ck Life. It's here to kick our asses.Don't let up, and show we can take it, and enjoy life. Oh yeah, watch My Sassy Girl.


    Hah, damn those 2 movies, so disturbing, it has made it hard for me to sleep, and is now 530 a.m. Typing this blurt or xanga without the internet on word. I suppose I should go try to do something productive. Hopefully I will figure out the apartment problem, fix the internet, and be able to work by the end of today. Wish me good luck, for now I still work hard to trudge across the sea of quicksand, and hopefully soon 2 find ground to walk and run freely again. Family + Friends. Take care of yourselves.
