Commencement

  • May. 10th, 2009 at 11:13 PM

My cousin Gerald is graduating with his PhD from UT Austin. i couldn't be more proud of him. he'll be the first doctor in the family. me, jerome and yulster are going to take a roadtrip down to texas just for his commencement. the drive will be well worth it because i'll be seeing one of my favorite cousins graduate. the roadtrip itself should be very interesting. its a great way to start off my summer. i've never been to texas, but i'm looking real forward to it. yulster summarized the roadtrip really well on his blog.

Embrace the dark side...

i am a religious follower of star wars. so naturally i should despise star trek. on the contrary, the new movie out now, star trek, directed by jj abrams looks pretty damn sick and with a rating of 96% on rottentomatoes.com, who can lie with results. although the movie looks good, this short clip pretty much sums up the war of which is better, stars wars or star trek?

Request

  • Apr. 11th, 2009 at 6:37 PM

Dear Apple,

Please come out with an iPhone this year. A nice one. A superior one. Please release it this year, sometime in the summer perhaps.  I don't know if you can make it thinner, but if you can, that'd be great. The thinness is just fine so if you keep the body the same I won't complain. Please add video recording and more megapix. Also, please make it affordable with better monthly plans. Oh, I know this is a long shot, but please support flash websites. Better battery life would be awesome too. I know you guys will pull off some other surprises with the upcoming iPhone so I look forward to that. Keep up the great work. I'll wait for your keynote in the following months. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Boogie.
call waiting.


Spring Heartbreak

  • Mar. 27th, 2009 at 9:39 AM

after completely botching 2 midterms, molecular bio and physics, to say i've earned rest during this spring break is hard to say. i like to relax knowing i accomplished something. however, after doing not-so-great on my exams, relaxing is the last thing on my mind. which is why i've set goals this entire week for me to accomplish just to be somewhat proactive.

-contiue avoiding sweets, which is what i gave up for lent. oh how i miss you sugar.
-wii fit. i've lost 3lbs playing with this ingenious game.
-read and research more on DSLR's.
-draft new weekly report for administration (hospital).
-prepare more on p90x schedule.
-don jose/yogurtland (i know i gave up sweets, but one time this week won't hurt)
-buy care plans for iphone and macbook.
-search for screen protector for iphone.
-catch up on reading for bio???
-study for physics???
-enjoy laker games without having to worry about school.

today is sassy's 22nd birthday, even though she looks like she's 18. for her birthday celebration, she decided that we go to benihana. i had no idea what to expect since my initial thoughts about the restaurant were spatula twirling chefs and grills the size of car hoods.

CSUF parking

  • Dec. 9th, 2008 at 12:10 PM

 parking at fullerton is horrible. i'm not sure if its just my school or other schools, but finding a parking spot is a competition. some students get to school at 8am and sleep in their cars till their classes start at 12pm. i've seen many arguments over a parking space. i've even seen a lady straight up jack a guy from his spot by speeding to it and nearly causing a crash. 

today i was part of such an argument. i arrived in the parking structure rather late. i ditched my afro studies class for more sleep so i came in to school later than usual. around 9am-1pm is the peak hours of parking hell. people dash to spots, follow those who are leaving to their cars, other drivers pick up students from the stairs to drive them to their cars to ensure them a parking space. today the structure was mad busy with drivers eagerly looking for a space. i found a guy walking to his car and he told me he was leaving. i didn't want to offer him a ride to his car because #1 he was a guy and #2 his car wasn't that far from where we were. when he got to his car there was already another lady waiting to take his space, but obviously i was the rightful owner to his spot because i followed him all the way to his car. i couldn't hear the lady yelling because her windows were up, but from her hand motions i could tell she was signaling to take MY spot. i immediately got out of my car and started yelling "I FOLLOWED HIM ALL THE WAY TO HIS CAR! THIS IS MY SPOT!" in the middle of all the commotion, there was a line of cars right behind me.  the lady finally shut up and let me drive into my space. as she passed by me, all she said was "calm down." my only reply was "YOU CALM DOWN!". 

after i parked my car i kind of felt bad for yelling at the poor woman. but then again, i got a sweet parking space. i thought about the repercussions of this event like maybe the lady might stop by my car and slash my tires or break my windows. anything is possible. i just hope rita is in the same condition as i left her. i hope i never have to go through that kind of mess again. no one messes with boogie's parking space. 

its a jungle out there.

Tag

  • Nov. 26th, 2008 at 10:40 AM

i was tagged to give 16 random facts, secrets, goals etc.

1. i hate roaches. it's not that i'm scared of them. i just despise their existence.

2. i like to step on leaves and hear the CRUNCH.

3. i get mad very easily.

4. i'm scared of the future.

5. i am deeply rooted with my family and friends. although i may not show it, i have a need to protect the ones i love. family and friends are the only link to the past, so it's only fitting that i give them the utmost care.

6. i hate change. whether it be good or bad, change throws off my equilibrium. just when i'm getting used to a new system, its modified and tinkered so much that i have to adapt to the given scenario. change is the only constant. i find this to be true, but i like to keep things simple and clean, which leads me to my next fact....

7. i'm a traditionalist. i believe chivalry still exists, the warring feud between cats and dogs will forever be present, women's suffrage is questionable (just kidding!), firemen and doctors save lives while lawyers only want money, a perfect saturday morning is waking up early and watching your favorite cartoon, divorce should only be granted in extreme cases and that doing what you love will lead to pure happiness. carry on tradition. 

8. this is me procrastinating.

9. for certain shoes in my collection i have 2 pairs. i use one pair on the regular and keep the other pair in the box only to wear in 20 years. this way i'll be the coolest dad on the block.

10. i plan to pass my shoe collection to my son, granted that he is the same shoe size as his father. if i have nothing but daughters i'll have all my shoes buried with me.

11. my favorite color used to be green until the boston celtics beat my LA lakers last season in the finals. i even sold/traded away all my green shoes because of this. my current pending favorite color is blue.

12. when i have absolutely nothing to do, i go to borders and read comics trade back books.

13. one of my greatest fears is taking a dump in a public restroom only to discover that there is no more toilet paper.

14. at 11 years old i crossed the street without looking and got hit by a car and flew 6 feet from my original spot. i came out with only a bruise.

15. when people ask me how i got the name "boogie" i make up a cool origin story. but the thing is i change it up everytime i tell a different person. it just adds to the mystery.

16. i was the ONLY asian male in my entire high school class. i could relate to NO ONE. i was in class with either pre-dominantly whites or white-wash mexicans.

now i tag joseph, jean and anyone else's name that doesn't start with an X.

Boogie.

marriage is a sacred covenant between husband and wife. and what a great way to display your love than with....shoes?

i'm all for jordans and marriage, but seriously? i think this is just a tad bit much. in a way its cute, but at the same time its like "seriously? you guys took your wedding photos with your jordans?" 

i thought i was a jordan head, but my collection is nothing compared to these fools.

Procrastination

  • Oct. 23rd, 2008 at 1:20 AM

it's not that i don't want to do my homework. it's just that i don't have the time.

so this is me procrastinating..................
...............

.................

i was assigned a take home midterm for afro american studies. it was assigned last week. i didn't start until 9 hours ago. it's due in 9 hours from now. it will probably take me 2 1/2 more hours to finish so i probably won't sleep till 4.

i don't like to call it procrastinating. i like to call it working well under pressure.

Hoax, Animal style.

One of the biggest let downs of the whole year. you don't EVER mess with In-N-Out. its like an unwritten law to not make a hoax about in-n-out and 25 cent burgers. whoever made this whole cheap prices for their 60th anniversary up, i hope you choke on your animal style fries.

i guess this is a good thing. i was going to let my heart go under cardiac arrest for a few minutes after i would 10 double-doubles. i guess some things just aren't meant to be.

Jack in the Crack: Pita Snack Review

  • Sep. 18th, 2008 at 12:30 AM

so jack in the box has been hyping up their pita snacks. i'm a fan of both pita and JITB, so it was an easy decision to make in eating one. i mean c'mon, i've seen that stupid commercial with the 2 grown men acting like babies cry for pita snacks. everyone's seen it. the commercial runs at least 100 times on FOX.

so after a long, strenuous day of studying for Ochem, i decided to finally try the hyped up pita snacks. sassy sent me a link that provided a "buy one pita snack, get one free" coupon. so immediately i printed it and drove to my local JITB.
 

items:
iphone-check
wallet-check
earphones-check
microbe book-check
coupon for buy one pita snack get one free-PRICELESS

 

 


Free FTW!!!!!!!!
notice how appetizing it looks in the coupon...
 
 






wow, that looks nothing like the picture. where the hell did the lettuce go?



its okay. maybe the steak pita snack will be better.
very little lettuce can be seen.


 

the pita right off the bat looked unappetizing. there was little to no lettuce! in ads, the pitas clearly have lettuce in them. in fact, the chicken/steak/fish are practically shown wrapped in lettuce. my pita snacks clearly exhibit no wrapping of lettuce. false advertisement! also, the ads say that they put chipotle sauce in the pita. my pita was SWIMMING in chipotle sauce to the point where the pita just didn't taste that great. to make things worse, the pita itself was chewy. i was chewing so hard, my jaw began to ache. the only good thing about the pita snacks was when i was finished with it because the food item itself is just crap. if i had 2$ i wouldn't spend it on this pita junk. i'd rather go for 2 tacos for 99cents. hell, i wouldn't even feed my dogs this pita shit. jack in the box, step your game up. to me, the king of the fast food arena has and will always will be In-N-Out.

Pita snacks status: Hype

Verdict: don't even feed it to your dogs.

Joseph is back in town from his study abroad program. basically he just drank and partied with fellow college students for a few months in europe. if he was lucky, he probably went to class atleast for two hours a week. just a few places to name where he's been: london, italy, greece, spain, and amsterdam. seriously? how could UCLA leave joseph in amsterdam? better question, how could UCLA leave him in europe. anyways, you better had brought me some european trinkets, or whores. whatever, as long as you brought me back something. glad you made it home safely, hopefully STD free.

the topic of shoes is a very touchy subject. you could say its an obsession/hobby. call it what you will, but i enjoy collecting shoes. i don't know how long i'll be doing it. may be i'll stop when i get into professional school. that seems most idealistic. sell all my shoes to pay for tuition. or i could keep them, store them and pass them on to my kids. even if i have nothing but daughters, i'll still make them wear my shoes.  but before they put on my shoes, i'll make them wear these beauties:

jordan x air force 1 fusion III's. 
 

they're not black cement III's but close to it. the shoe that kept jordan himself with nike. so much history behind this shoe. and its going to be on my baby's feet. as the doctor is delivering my child, i'll be with shoes in hand to put them on his feet. he'll be the coolest baby in the nursery. for sure.

  • Sep. 3rd, 2008 at 11:44 AM

last semester, i received a D+ in Ochem (don't tell my parents!). thus, i had to retake it again. this semester the teacher seems more lenient than my last ochem teacher. also, i should already be familiar with the material. so the odds should be in my favor of me passing with flying colors.

but life sucks.

in the syllabus of dr stoddard, if a student receives lower than a 50% on the first exam, that student will receive an F in the course. but here's the good news: if i get an F, i can still drop the class before the drop deadline and that F won't be on my trascript and i receive a full refund for the class. bad news: i'll fail ochem for a second time, won't be a full time student and i'll be forced to take it again for a third time.

moreover, its only the second week of school and the exam is today. but i've been studying pretty hard for this class so i think i'll do fine. wish me luck.
