so it's another bittersweet moment

it's just sweet and bitter.


but I just can't help loving it.

Although it promotes the fact I'm the one who is still alone these days.


But what can I do? This is just how life goes, in a weird technique that God always used to paint his beautiful canvas.
Maybe this is just the draft?
Something big is going to happen sometime?

But we're born humans, we can't help but wonder when is the coloring process going to start?


I think I just have to keep on walking down the road,

And let the path find me.




Can someone teach me how to play a guitar?

it's Utah

so here I am, Matt's aunts home.

Murray, UT


the second day of the three week summer travel.


it's really nice to see matt.
Same old Matt.



It's also nice to see Collette C too.
Didn't expect her to be that tanned. It's more like roasted.
And plus Bonnie, Roxanne M.

Fun spooning last night.


What could have been better?
With all the wonderful friends around, I donno.


What am I gonna do tomorrow?

vacant

as for now, I'm done with school for the rest of the spring,
(hmm... not officially, considering I still have to attend my exploring visual expression final review and turn in my psychology work sheets, both of them on Thursday)

Now it leaves me the whole Wednesday, Thursday afternoon, and Friday with nothing really to do before I head to Utah on Saturday.

"Typical summer vacancy"
∆
Thats how I call it.


I got more than 60 vacant hours for me to do something. Or nothing.


But still, I have yet come up with anything extraordinarily efficient way to kill those time.
(Packing up for the up coming 3 week trip is something, but thats mandatory)





I think probably just watch baseball and re-scan some film the whole time.





Plus I hate waiting, can't tell you how excited I am to go to Utah and Texas to visit friends.

the ironic B

Just got my grade on my Mandarin Class today.
a lame 85, which is a solid B.

I mean, hey, I'm a native mandarin speaker!

WTF?!

a B?

totally non-sense.

But after going through the details from the teacher, I found out I screwed up on my final oral, and I did bad on one of the five quizzes during the semester(I accidently missed one section of the quiz).

But a B is still a B.

I'll take it.


Hope my psychology 001 class will be okay, something like a B will be highly appreciated.
And nothing goes wrong with my exploring visual expression class doesn't, should be having at least a B+

Then this spring quarter in school will really be a success.

Fuji PRO160C

a sweet mistake?

so I decided to wash my vans today.

It was all clean when I set it to dry, but when it dried I came back to check,some of the colors from the inside bled out.

Wasn't expecting that to happen...

But I remembered that when I got this pair of vans, they gave me another pair of shoe laces with the scuba color.

I decided to put it on, with the slight dye, it looked qute good in fact...


A sweet mistake? oh yeah,(pretended....seems that I just have to live with it from now on...)

so it was an easy going day today...

I felt that I really have to write something today... although there was nothing


so here it goes:


it was a nice friday. Sunny. Good weather.

although woke up dead late for class, still managed to attend it.

Came back home after the class, decided there is the necessity head back into the warm bed.
So there I drooled on the bed for the whole afternoon, while being waken up by the stupid workers upstairs fixing stuff a few time, still managed to get some bit of sleep.

Mom called me at 3:30pm to go pick up a friends grandparents from the flower shop back to their home.
So I woke up, went to drove the car again.


As I got back, it was about time for the game between the Yankee's and the Marlin's to start.
But considering Mom did allowed me watched the last few games, I decided to go to costco with her.

But

Costco trip came out quite costy.

But lots of good food.

and a book to read: Living on the Black: Two pitchers, two teams, one season to remember. (Dang I love baseball)


Got back home, got a text from April, replied back.
(I was seriously so excited she did text me, I mean, ha)

Played some Counter-Strike: Source and Day of Defeat:Source.

Spend the night typing this blog.


It's a very nice summer day.


Only got two classes left for this semester.
Monday afternoon & Thursday morning.
Heading to Utah on next Saturday.
Then to Texas the friday after that.

Lets see how the heat in Del Rio melts me.



How about you guys, anything fun?

weird life with dino poop

So I was talking to Erika D tonight on facebook chat, we were talking how life is weird now with everyone getting married and etc.

Then this was what I said:


"Life is weird, and yuck sometimes, weird&yuck like sticking your hand in a big chunk of dinosaur poop to look for your satellite phone to call for help. "
(From Jurassic Park3)


Do you guys have any other examples to explain life?

drain of inspiration

it's kinnda weird these days that I just don't know what to write.


Kinnda weird. It's always been easy for me to make up some crap easily.


Maybe just because life has been kinnda doh these days.




- Just met a girl in my mandarin class, the name is Ms. Fan, Alice Fan.
Born here, but her family's from Shanghai.
She's a awesome photographer, I mean, quite talented. And has excellent Photoshop skills.(I hate photoshop. lol)
here's her flickr


She does really great self portraits, and all those shots.



-Trouble on my final portfolio for my exploring visual expression class, just trouble. (I'm never good at putting things together.)

-Still can't decide how long will I stay in Texas this summer visiting April and Brooke. I'm either staying till the 11th or the 18th. The final decision will be made after my dad's coworker/family friend of ours tells me will I have a chance to get a job in LA this summer. Wish the ticket price doesn't soar too high before I order it


whats else? hmmmmmmmmm....

left over words

I always suspect myself for talking too much.



I just can't organized all my idea's into one single sentience.



I wish I didn't annoy you.



I just tried hard to get myself clear.

Tips.

Be brave.

Don't fear to get turned down.


Always try. Don't give up.




or else.

the waiting

Fujicolor PRO400H

the lens back alive

A broken Canon EF 35mm F2.0 lens giving from a friend before I left hawaii.

It has been in my drawer for a while, never really got the chance to deal with it, almost forgotten about it.

While I was going through stuff a few days ago, I saw the lens lying there, so I decided to take it out and see what can I do with it.

It took me a total of 2 hours to remove the broken connectors that connects the AF on/off switch with the motherboard, and replacing it with three copper wires(the yellow one's in the photo).

Lucky it worked.

Although the lens still have some back focus issues, which requires me to unsolder it and adjust a switch on the back on the board, back and forth a few times to get the right adjustment.

Still I'm glad the lens is back alive, instead of sending to fix by a technician for 200 bucks, I only spend less then 10 bucks for the solder and the copper wire roll.
What a bargain. haha

there was a song

a song that I found on iTunes


which happens to be the Matt & Kim

album: Grand

"Lessons Learned"
"Cinders"
"Daylight"

gave me a couple wonderful days and nights.



the whole Utah/Texas trip is also done planning and the tickets.
Now I just have to buy the ticket to go back home, and we're all set for adventure.







Here's the deal:
If you believe in God, believe him hard.
If you don't, just believe in yourself.
Either way, you gotta believe, cause if you do, there is always the chance higher than 0%, even it's 0.001%.(Cause things like 0.001% always happens, you never know)

Don't use him(I mean God) as the excuse or the purpose of your life.
He gave you life, gave you a chance to be something, with meaning.
Don't blame God if things didn't happen, cause he already gave you the chance. You know He always work things in weird ways.

Either way, if anything happens, you just gotta suck it up, cause it's your life.


Does these words even make any sense to you?







Ha I'm agnostic and I'm talking all this shit.
