Your Fasha! You know.. 'Fasshha'!! | 08/27/03 - 11:21 am
Well, geez. I finally update my journal after.. er.. how long.. . 15 days. Half a month.. Well, to make it up to you guys, I'm gonna make another long-ass entry. I've been doing a lot of those lately..

Okay, let's re-wind to last thursday (which was almost a week ago now). I went to Cheryl's b-day party. It was me, Cheryl, her boyfriend Juliano, and her friend Joanna. I never really thought me and Cheryl would be friends again after we broke up, but I guess that's not the case. We all went to KFC fer lunch then we rented some DVD's to watch then went back home, the whole time.. Cheryl and Juliano were forcing me to hold hands with Jo ('cuz me and her have this.. thing.. for each other).

When we got back to Cheryl's house, we started watching 'Mothman Prophecies' but we got bored of it so we watched regular TV instead. They just got their cable installed that day, so Cheryl figured she'd try it out. Me and Jo snuggled together while Cheryl and her guy did the same. We were getting really really intimate when her mom walks in on us. All of us moved away from each other and pretended to be absorbed at the TV.. It was pretty funny.

But yeah, after her mom left, Cheryl forced me to wear this yellow Bananas in Pajamas shirt (much to Jo's delight.. She likes yellow). Then we went outside. Before anyone could stop her.. and before I realized I fell into her trap, Cheryl switched the hose on and drenched me from head to toe. I was left there soaking wet and cold.. I wanted to change my clothes (cuz I brought spare clothes, just in case something like this happened. And it did.) but they stole them from my backpack, sprayed them with perfume and hid them away from me.. The only way I could get my clothes back, they said, was if I took my shirt off. I was desperate, and cold, so ignoring all logic, I took my shirt off. Then I realized I was in a room with my ex-gf and a girl I liked. *sigh* After a few tormenting giggles from them, they gave me my shirt.

I was about to start walking back into the room when I looked down. My pants were wet too (with WATER of course). But that was where I drew the line, I knew that I wasn't supposed to get the carpet wet, but I didn't care. After stepping into the carpet, out of nowhere, Cheryl's mom walked in again. She gave me a sideways look. I was frozen on the spot for a few seconds, then I realized that I was getting floor more wet with me just standing there, so I dashed into the bathroom. I heard muffled yells of Cheryl and her mother. I could tell Cheryl was doing some quick thinking, and being the slick person she is, she thought of a good excuse for me being wet like that, and her mother bought it. She gave me my clothes and I changed in the bathroom.

After that, we took a walk around the neighborhood. Me and Jo were holding hands, and so were Cheryl and her boyfriend, Juliano. When we were going back to the house though, I asked Jo.. 'who do you like?' and she said she didn't know. At first.. I thought she was playing around. But then she looked at me.. And she seemed serious. After that moment, I knew something was up.. She seemed to avoid me the rest of the party. I was heartbroken. What did I do wrong? I must have done something wrong for her to suddenly stop knowing whether or not she liked me, even though she admitted that she did before the party. I left Cheryl's house feeling sad and confused.. She unexpectedly gave me a goodbye hug.. So I wasn't sure what I was supposed to think. I just hope that she isn't leading me on. Anything but that.

Now, let's fast-forward to Saturday.

Cool, a mermaid. Pic by Adam

I was EXTREMEMLY bored that day. So Adam suggested that I go over to his house. He gave me a copy of a picture he drew (censored to maintain a PG-13 rating) and we watched his movie, "Ang Tanging Ina". It was pretty funny. I was cracking up a lot.. espcially in the beginning when the main character's husbands die. Heheh, I know it sounds messed up, but trust me, I bet you a heck of a lot of money you'd be laughing your ass off too. But it wasn't a whole lot of crude pointless jokes. It had a storyline. Multiple ones, actually. It's pretty deep, if you think about it. But yeah, it was a good movie.

Afterwards, Adam made brownies! They tasted great, but it looked a little better than dog dookie. I think he over-did the frosting n stuff. Oh well. While he was doing that, me and his brother were playing old-school SNES games on a REAL SNES console (Super Mario All-Stars!! Hell yes!). I'm surprised his still works though. My old system won't play a single game any more. Then we went upstairs and played some Playstation 'till I had to go. Fun to da MAX!

Interpol! FREEZE!!

Then just yesterday, I went with Mike to watch 'The Medallion'. First, we went to Target to buy 'The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers' then we headed to the theater. The movie was alright. It's not the best Jackie Chan movie, but it had it's good points. After the movie, I stayed over at Mike's house to watch both the "Lord of the Rings" movies (since I didn't watch either, and he wanted to refresh his memory of what happened in the first movie). Then we ended the night by watching Autsin Powers: Goldmember. Then at around 11 pm, I walked home.. which isn't too bad. I live across the street.

And there you have it: a long-ass entry.

By the way, it has come to my attention that I've been neglecting the polls lately. I just.. can't seem to find any ideas for polling questions. I'm not gonna update it for now. I think this long entry is good enough to keep you people entertained for awhile.
Movies and moving and KFC to da MAX. | 08/12/03 - 11:30 pm
Well let's go back a couple days to last weekend. I had to go to my relatives house in Sacramento to take a look at the new house they bought. It would have been great if they had one thing that every house should have.. . Furniture.

Yep, two days of nothing but fun-filled nothingness. No tables, no chairs, no fridge(argh), no nothing. All they had was a Nerf (is that what it's called? or is it Turf.. No, it's Nerf) football and an empty house. At least they had air conditioning.. cuz it was as hot as FUCK there (heh.. Adam would have loved that weather).

.. . *tumbleweed rolls past screen*

My mom and dad are thinking about moving there. The place is as empty as my cousin's house (refer to above image).. . All that's there is dry grass as far as the eye can see..

There are no malls, no stores, no schools, no movie theaters.. . Geez, it's like a ghost town.

And almost EVERYONE in there is white (no offense)! We were like the only Asian people in the whole frekken neighborhood.. Everywhere you go, all you see is white white white white white black white white white white white white. I mean sure, I saw some Asians. But I'll get to that later.

Oh yeah. And they have one other thing my parents (or well.. my dad in particular) are very fond about:

<- TO CASINO

Yep. The casino. I dunno. I have this .. thing.. for casinos. I hate the way people smoke and I hate how white girls dressed up in skimpy leather outfits with black leather boots romping around kissing up to fruckin old-ass people just for them to insert 100 bill tips down their bras.. I just hate it.

And it's funny. The casino is the one place where I found the highest number of Asian people in one place there. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but whatever. Most of them were just old geezers anyway.

So where am I going at by telling you all this.. . Oh yeah... I DON'T WANT TO MOVE. That is final. I'm willing to handcuff myself to this house and wait 'till the police come with that white, straight jacket and drag me out.

Anyway, I got to hang out with Christina for awhile yesterday at KFC. It was me, her, her cousin Marky, and her sister Christine (I think thas how it's spelled). We ate, then walked to her house and watched TV fer awhile. Then at around 6, she and Marky walked me home.

...

It was kinda awkward.. I tried to talk and not be shy. .. but blah. That's how I am. She kept talkin' bout this dude named Tony and Jody (yes. our highschool prez). Maybe I'm over reacting or something, but I have a feeling she has hotts for them more than me. Maybe it's just me. I dunno.

It's strange though, I never thought I would ever like a girl like her.. She talks gangsta, she dresses popular, listens to rap n crap like dat, and she's got friends that get into fights a lot. I dunno why..Still, I continue liking her. I don't know if I even have a chance. She said herself that she isn't usually into shy guys.. and that I should change. But if someone really liked me (or dare-i-say.. loved me) they should like me for who I am and not for what they want me to be. .. Maybe we should just be friends.. But how can that happen when I still have feelings for her?

...

S.W.A.T. -- well okay, so it isn't the movie. But hey, it's the best I got.

I went with Mike to watch S.W.A.T. today. That movie was pretty good. Mike pointed out that Bullseye (however you spell it) from Daredevil played the main roll in this movie. I think he did the part pretty well. Afterwards, we got a bite to eat (after debating fer awhile whether or not we should eat at BK or In-N-Out .. we chose Burger King).

Then we went over to Best Buy and picked up Cradle 2 the Grave, walked around the store a bit, looking at games, music and whatnot.. and headed to my house, where we watched the movie.

Cradle 2 the Grave

It was pretty good too. After messing around with the special features for awhile (Black guys do not sound good when dubbed in French. They got a pretty decent voice-over for Jet Li though) we went upstairs and Mike messed around with people online using my screen name like he usually does.

It has come to my attention that I haven't been updating my polls like I should be lately. Ah I'm sorry for the delays and stuff, but I'll try to update 'em on time from now on. Oh, and I've been running short on poll questions lately. Any suggestions are more than welcome.
My sister's B-day dinner. | 08/07/03 - 03:39 pm

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEEEAAR MARIANNNNNEEE..

I went to Olive Garden two days ago for the very first time. Adam told me that the food there would be good, and damn.. he was right. I had some "Lasagna Classico", and yeah. I loved it! The waiters were really friendly too. A little too friendly, actually. It's like every time I passed by, they'd say "enjoy your dinner" or something like that.. Oh well.

And it was funny.. When we were finished with our dinner, out of no where, ten waiters come out and sing "happy birthday" to my sister. They brought her a cake with a candle on it (er.. which we had to pay for) and yeah. Geez, my sister was redder than a ripe tomatoe. Heh, and I couldn't blame her.. it felt like the whole restaurant was looking at us.

Hmm.. Oh yeah, that day was the same day Al had his LAN party. He had two Xbox's and yeah, eight people playing at the same time. It was really nifty, 'cept I didn't play. I watched them play .. what's it called.. . Halo, there we go. Yah, I watched them play Halo for awhile, then we ate some of Al's mom's chicken, which was really good. Then we headed out to play baseball in the park. I couldn't play for long though (hah! but I got a hit!), 'cuz I had to go to an ortho appt. So yeah. I left early..

The orthodontist appointment went very.. . er.. un-smoothly. At first, everything was going alright, but then when I thought I was finished, they discovered three loose bands, which they had to replace (don't ask me how they came loose. I don't.. remember eating anything hard.. .) Then they found the wire was too short, so they had to force it in.. And for some reason, I found all this very amusing. I was cracking up and pinching my fingers to stop laughing.. Oh well.

But yeah.. All in all, it took me a good two hours to get finished. And afterwards we went to Olive Garden, which I talked about already in the beginning of this entry. It's a good thing they had such soft food there, my mouth was killing me by the time I got to the restaurant.. Ah well, I guess I won't be eating much solid food for awhile. I could spare to lose a few pounds anyway.

Hm, after much thought.. I think liking Christina was the right way to go. I guess I shouldn't have judged her just because she was friends with Jennilyn. I mean, jus 'cuz she's friends with her.. doesn't mean that she acts the same way. In fact, she acts 100 times better than Jennilyn ever will act towards me. Heh, and she's really pretty too. Looks and personality. That's something you don't find every day.

Oh by the way. There's a new poll up. It's on the bottom of the page next to the "old entries" link, if you didn't already know.
Thinking.. | 08/03/03 - 12:20 am
Okay, I have a lot of things I need to get off my chest. I know it's late. Or.. early.. whatever. But yeah.. . Please excuse my.. emotions.

...

Well my parents are mending their relationship again.. But I can already tell that they have been broken one too many times now. My mom still doesn't stop talking about my dad cheating on her.. And my dad seems so distant from the rest of the family. Whenever I look at him, it's like he's in another world.

*Sigh* I wish I were still in band. My parents (being the cheap people they are) won't allow me to join again. I mean, hell.. most of my friends are still in band. .. I feel really left out sometimes. I shouldn't have left it in the first place. I should have stayed. Dammit.

I remember in 8th grade.. Mr. A was asking each of us whether or not we were going to stay in band. I said "yes, because I want to make Mr. A proud". He gave me a cookie for that answer..

I shouldn't have accepted it. I knew from when those words left my lips that I was not going to join band next year. Why? Because my parents said it was too expensive.. that I might get hernia or whatever the fuck that condition is called that has to do with carrying heavy things (like my baritone, for example).. Blah.

And when me, Adam and Teddy went to AMS that one time and I saw Mr. A.. Man. I didn't say anything in the earlier entry, but I felt ashamed when I couldn't do my scales any more and Teddy was doing them as perfect as crazy (now I know how you feel, Adam). Mr. A tried helping me.. But I couldn't do it..

I never knew band ment so much to me. But I guess I'll never get the chance to do it again.

I met this girl a couple days ago. She goes to American.. and I think me and her are hitting it off. It's kinda weird though. I've been kinda stuck on Cheryl ever since we broke up.. But then this girl comes along and most (if not all) my emotions become channeled toward her. It makes me wonder.. Maybe I didn't like Cheryl again.. Maybe I just thought I still liked her.. Maybe I just gave up. She already is thinking of someone else anyway.. Or maybe there just wasn't anyone else to catch my attention. Either way, I fell head over heels for the girl frum American real quick.. And I don't know if that's good.. or bad.

The thing is.. Christina (that's her name) is close with Jennilyn and Co. And that statement kinda speaks for it's self if you ask me. I didn't really have a good past with Jennilyn.. and judging by how she acts, I can only imagine her friends act the same way too (though I hope Christina doesn't).. Maybe I'm falling for the wrong person. If I am, I have to stop myself before it goes too far.. Or is it already too late for me to turn back..

Jayne isn't making things any easier for me either.. It's like I started liking her again for a short while (about a day or two) but stopped myself before things got outta hand. I dunno, I thought I was completely over Jayne. I mean, say that I am again now, but after that little slip-up (which was I think about a month ago now), I don't know what to expect..

...

And thus concludes my first very personal entry in quite some time. I doubt I'll be having much of these again, but hey.. You never know.
Daredevil, Cowboy Bebop, and my "family" | 08/01/03 - 10:52 am
Mike came over the other day and we watched the Daredevil DVD that he bought. It was pretty cool.

Ed..?

Afterwards, we watched Cowboy Bebop: the Movie. It was my first time watching Cowboy Bebop, so yeah. I was kinda surprised they named a girl Edward. I thought she was the weirdest character there.. But oh well. She seemed good with computers and thats how I am too.. I guess thats a similarity.

Anyway.. on a darker note.. My parents are on to their last thread. They can't stand each other any more. Every night, I have to listen to my mother pouting about how my dad is gonna divorce and crap like that. I personally don't care any more. I just don't want to leave this place. If my parents break, then I'll most likely be going to Las Vegas.. Who the fuck lives in Vegas anyway?? I mean, I've been living here so long.. if I left.. I dunno what I'd do.

I'll run away, that's what. I don't know where.. But heck, as long as I get to stay here in Union City with my friends that I've known practically and literally all my life.. then that's all that matters.

.. *sigh*
