the night... so peaceful, so sincere,
no one around, only me and my mirror.
what do i see when i gaze into it's glow?
i see a person, whom i bearly know.

i used to think that i knew that person,
the only person that always stares back at me...
it's weird that when i look now,
i don't even know who or what he'll be...

i want to be happy... i want to be free
but somehow, i don't think that can be.
i think the only way is for me, to be... me

i have no idea what i'm doing. i haven't written anything outside of school ever. so yeah... ignore me.

(Tuesday 12.16.02 12:10 AM)

i think i need to learn to be less selfish... or something like that... i think we all think about ourselves a lot of times.... maybe if we started thinking about others more we coudl all be a little happier...

hmm... maybe i might start updating this more often... sheesh.. a lot of people are just signing up for those online journal things... i've been doing this for a while the hard way... maybe i migth start doing it the way everyone else does it... hmm... maybe.... i wonder if anyone still reads this?

(Tuesday 10.01.02 09.11 PM)

whoa... look at the time.

so at work now... it's cold... and i'm feeling ill... i don't know. it's weird... like yesterday mornign my stomach was feeling weird... kinda upset. then this morning i woke up and same problem. but i also started to feel worse. body aches, chills.... all the signs of the flu. =\ was cold pretty much all morning... went to my lab in the afternoon... luckily it was pretty warm in there... was plannign on skipping work and going home after my lab but then i felt better so decided to stay. i'm feeling better than what i was earlier today but still feeling a bit off... =\ i think i'm just gonna hit the shower and get to bed once i get home.

on a brighter note... the midterm i was supposed to have today that got pushed up from thursday because my prof was supposed to have jury duty today was pushed back to thursday, the original day because his court date got postponed so he has to call tonight to find out if he has to go thursday. haha... understand? yeah, was supposed to have a midterm for clac today, but since i wasn't feeling that good i dind't study last night.... so it's kinda good that it got pushed to thursday... at least that gives me more time to procrasti.... uh, study. nah, i would study but i'm still not feeling too well and i can't concentrate right now. even in my classes today... (i hate tuesdays btw) i just wanted to go home and sleep.

well going to see my doctor again for my thumbs on thursday... speaking of which i need to email my boss to say i'll be late for work that night. alright... we'll see what the doc says...

(Friday 09.27.02 11:44 PM)

yeah ok.. i haven't written here in a while. i have however been writing in my aa page. go check it out if you do'nt know teh addy:

:: mixedasia ::

well let's see... been going to rehab since my last operatoin on my thumbs... still can't bend it fully either. i don't knwo if i'll ever have full range in it.... or even 50% from the way it looks now. augh...

took my first physics midterm today... augh... let's not tlak about that. i'm in a bad mood... not just school but some other things too... well, not bad mood, but just stressed and confused. one of those times again...

tired. night.

(Thursday 06.27.02 12:12 AM)

went shopping today at ala moana... man how i miss my car... caught the bus there but then we also went walking around to stores outside of the mall... man summer is not a good time to get hurt and lose a car. *sniff* i miss my car... and plus lugging all the packages around isn't too fun either. on the plus side i did get alot of things on sale for cheap! =) wow i havent' shopped in a long time... but i had to charge it all because i'm out of cash right now. =( so more bills... couldn't help it. =\

gonna go see my orthopedic doctor tomorrow, well, later today. hopefully he'll have some good news for me. supposedly we have to schedule for when my follow-up operation will be. wondering if he'll do it before i leave to las vegas or will it be after... i'm just wondering if it's gonna hurt like it did the first time. >_< if it is i think i'd want to do the operation after i come back home...

oh!!! i got a stitch doll today!!! heheh.... "you forgot to mention fluffy!!!"

(Tuesday 06.25.02 01:26 AM)

Been drinking milk since my accident periodically. Trying to drink it daily but it makes my stomach upset when I drink milk. I don't know why. I used to be ok with it… then it was more of a morning thing that I'd feel sick. Now if I drink too much my stomach gets really upset. Hope I'm not lactose intolerant. Ice cream is good though… =) Mom is keeping our stock of ice cream at a stable level for me.

oh... and word of advice...

Never get hurt during the summer - having bandages when it's hot out isn't very pleasing... and neither is the smell.

anyone wanna help me unwrap my hands?

oh! went to see lilo and stitch this past sunday!!! haha... it's funny! i want to see it again... hmm... you think it's on the net by now? hehe... yeah... but decided to plan an outing with some of the lung kong kids so we all went out to ward for the movie. that was kinda fun but next time i think we should plan for something else to do after... need more people over 25 so we can all go into d&b... heheh

current mood: =\ (i don't know why...)

(Saturday 06.15.02 12:55 AM)

being injured sucks... i swear.. i've never broken any bones before... and i never want to ever again. >_< it's just so fustrating becuase i can't do everything that i want to... *sigh* i just wanna get better... so i can get my life back to normal...

mean while though i'm glad i got some good friends... true i'm even luckier to have a good family that's taking care of me and like driving me to work and picking me up, etc, but i also got good friends willing to drive me around and take me home too even though they live in town. yesterday some of them decided to stay over at one of their apartments since we all work together... but i had to go home if i was to stay over... since i needed my clothes and stuff. so anyways.. all 8 of them came over to my place, waited for me to grab my stuff and shower then we went back. i can't wait for my life to get back to normal though... i miss my car... *sniff*

man i wish i could get my life back in order how it was before all of this happened... it's just so fustrating that i can't do so much now... my arms are starting to cramp because of lack of exercise.. and although it's only my thumbs i need them to do any kind of exercise really (well lifting wise anyways). so like normally when i start to feel like this i'd do some push ups or lift some weights.... but well.... augh... ok ok... i'll stop complaining.

hmm.... the lady that i got into the accident with did however send me a get well card. got it in the mail today... she said that she hopes i get better and that she's a mom of 2 boys, one my age and one 18... whiich goes to UH. i guess that explains what she was doing there on the last day of finals.... but yeah... that was nice of her although she dind't say sorry for what happened (maybe don't want to incriminate herself?) kinda confused me though cause her last name is muraoka... same last name as my 6th grade teacher... so i was like, wtf? how'd she find out?! haha... alrighty... i'm out.

(Thursday 06.13.02 11:40 AM)

the guys i work with are fun... yesterday we were eating pistachios (spelling?!) and so they all tried opening them without their thumbs... now they know how i feel! haha

trip coming up sooner and sooner. i'm sorta excited... but i guess more excited that i'll be seeing the doctor again to see if i can take off the splints on my hands. augh... it's getting really irritating and fustrating. i'm still not sleeping that well at night... hands kind of get in the way... augh... i want to get better...

(Thursday 06.06.02 09:15 PM)

ok... velcro. velcro just sucks when you hands are wrapped in bandages. *sigh* trying to open my laptop case.. *wrack* augh! cursed invention...

anyways, found out today that i'm pretty much screwed as for all the pay i'm missing out cause i haven't been working. went to see james leavitt from leavitt, yamane and soldner for advice/consultation. augh. really i just want to get better so i can go back to work.

tired. i should shower and sleep soon. maybe i can get to work ontime if someone is awake to drive me. =( i miss my car... r.i.p. *sniff*

(Thursday 06.06.02 03:01 AM)

my new found nemesis... velcro... i'll explain later.

btw, happy birthday kenneth. mr. 16 year old... hehe... nah, just turned 21 tonight, er, last night. "skip, skip, skip around the room. we won't shut up until you skip around the room!" hahaha... funny...

(Monday 06.03.02 10:49 PM)

bored... oh jay leno's headlines...

(Monday 06.03.02 09:43 PM)

feeling kinda weird today. muscles are tight... and i can't do anything really because of the hands. =\ man am i going to be out of shape after all of this is done. *sigh*

so went to see my orthopedic doctor on... wednesday...? no, thursday i think. anyways he's still an idiot. haha.. but anyways at least the good news was that i do'nt have to operate on my right hand. woohoo! and he said i could take the splint off and exercise my thumb a few times a day... i've been doing that but it's still stiff and hurts when i bend it a lot. =\ so yah... just fustrating that i can't even make a fist or hold any power in it. still weak.

considering going to work again soon. so far still no word from the insurance. i think tomorrow we're gonna call the other lady's insurance company and get them to give me my money for my car and for my loss of wages. >=( damnit... this is taking too long and it's pissing me off. oh, and city sent me a letter... pretty much saying that if i don't go and get my car from the tow lot soon, they're going to sell it. augh...

(Sunday 05.26.02 11:55 PM)

well, nothing to do now. i can't do anything really... so i'll write here. though i don't think anyone reads it now but ah well... what the hell....

so yeah, i went into surgery on wednesday. i really didn't know what he was going to do (meaning if he would operate on my left and right hands or just the left). he said he'd wait till i was out until checking if my right needed it since last time he checked i was ready to hit him where it hurts for putting me thru more pain. he's an idiot... the way he checked my right thumb is by bending it to the side to see how far it goes... well given that my hand was bruised and swolen already, him just touching it hurt... and then he bends my thumb... fine... but he did it twice (just to show my parents). bastard! augh.... anyways... i think he's an idiot. so yeah... ended up he just operated on my left hand (thankfully). so yeah... they had to put the IV into my foot cause it would have been in the way on my arms. nurse had to stab both feet before finding my veins.... then in i went. =\ 1.5 hours later i come out drowsy and in pain... was on pain killers up until 2 days ago too. but it's not as sore now so i guess that's good. going in for a checkup on thursday to see how things are and to see if he needs to operate on my right hand. >_< i hope not! but yeah... still sorta disabled cause i got both hands in splints now and i can't really do much. =( i hate this... no car and can't drive myself either. augh... it's gonna be a long 6 weeks.......

(Sunday 05.19.02 10:11 PM)

haha... wow i guess it's been awhile since i wrote in here. well, school's out so i guess that's a relief. friday i had my last final.... physics. hehehe... i think i actually could have passed with a b for the class even if i didn't take the final. heheh... the test was harder than i expected though. i think a lot of people would agree though. but yeah. so after my final i left school and got into a car accident.

so this weekend finally got to see star wars episode 2. i loved the fight scene! hahah.... won't spoil it for you but you'll know which fight scene i mean. i thought the movie was pretty good, although i'm not really like a star wars fan. i guess maybe those who didn't like it was expecting too much maybe? i dunno. i thought it was pretty good. it does leave you anticipating the next movie though... hehe

oh... so what about my accident? heheh... uh... well, after my final on friday i was driving on dole street heading towards waialae ave, when i hit a lady trying to make a left out of the hawaiian studies building. so i hit her on the drivers side. really all i remember is seeing her, slamming on my breaks and pushing my horn, and trying to avoid her by swerving to the left... i still hit her. i think when she saw me coming she sped up to try and get past me, and so i hit her straight on. all i remember was seeing her, braking, blasting my horn, crash, then lots of smoke and realizing that my airbag went off. i was fine... my hands were just sore. i think the lady was ok... just shaken up and didn't want to get out until the paramedics got there. i guess i was lucky that there were other people there who helped out. this one guy was especially helpful. calling the cops, controlling traffic and helping me get my car off the road. i don't know where he went after the cops came... i wanted to thank him.

well, to make the story short, my car is totalled i think. cops put the lady at fault so i'm just waiting for the insurance to clear to see what happens. after the accident i thought i was ok... just my hands sore from the accident. i was more worried about my car actually. but after my dad got there and my car towed he took me to the hospital to get checked out. turns out i fractured both my thumbs, the left worse than the right, though my right hand hurts more (later i realized that it was because the airbag blew up in my hand. but anyways, my left thumb got fractured at the joint so my arm is in a splint for 4-8 weeks, and my right is just wrapped since the fracture isn't that bad or at a joint.

hmm...sorry. i don't know what i'm talking about and i can't really type. hehe.... using 2 fingers now. maybe i'll write more later... tata

Kung Hee Fat Choy! Happy Year of the Horse everyone... =) well this month thus far has been rather busy... mainly with lung kong that is... not too much gigs for balloon monsoon so actually that's pretty good for me... works out since every weekend we have performances pretty much every day... not to mention tonight when our club has 4 seperate performances... so we're splitting up into 2 groups. well, that's the fun of it though.. hehe.. every year we go thru this... this upcoming weekend we got more... friday at pearl city shopping center, saturday we got the temples around town and ala moana with 5 other clubs at 1, and then sunday we got all the chinese societies around town that we need to visit. wooo... really... today should have been a holiday for us... it's chinese new years! hehe... so tempted to stay home...

anyways... wish you all the best in the new year and may it bring happiness and prosperity to you all! (yeah.. generic chinese wish but you get the idea... hehe)

(Tuesday 02.05.02 10:42 PM)

woohoo!!! ok... anyways... so i finally decided to buy another laptop. ordered it last tuesday, and i got it yesterday. hehe... i actually didn't think i was going to get it yesterday though... ok, well, orginally dell's website (yeah i got a dell... =) ) didn't give me the tracking number. i had it send overnight, priority mail, but i wasn't sure when it was sent. on friday they updated the status that it was sent, but it wasn't until monday that they posted that fedex picked it up... so i wasn'st sure when i'd get it. so anyways, after calling around i got the tracking number, checked fedex's website and saw that it was actually in hawaii (got here late sunday night), and it was currently on a truck to be delievered that day! frantically i called home to make sure that my mom was home cause she stayed home... but she wasn't! haha... anyways, when she got home she said that there wasn't a note on our gate so i was relieved.. but then as 5 came around (they said it would be shipped before 5) they still hadn't came... i got home around 6, still no one... checked their website... still on the truck... comes close to 7 i decided to call fedex to find out if i could pick it up. lady tells me that they close the depot centers at 7, so teh truck is probably back on it's way. saddened, i keep checked fedex's website to see if it got back to the depot center... 7:15, 7:20, 7:25, and finally 7:30... i give up all hope in getting my laptop on monday... my dad would be home the next day (today) so i guess it's not THAT bad... depressed i go to eat dinner when i hear a ring at the gate... hahaha... practically running outside i see a guy at the gate, no van though... damn! haha.. then i realize that it's parked across the street... woohoo!!! hehehe... so yeah... i got my lappy (yeah that's his name.. =) ).

(Tuesday 01.29.02 08:32 PM)

augh... why are some people so immature? AUGH! my loving sister just loves to bother me when i'm trying to do my homework... just finished dinner and got on computer cause i need to do a program for my ics class... sister comes in and wants to use computer to check her email. i tell her i'm doing homework and all she can say is, "psh whatevers." so she starts complaing about why i don't use my laptop, i say it's broken. then she goes off about why don't i fix it... isn't it still under warrenty, don't you know how to fix everything... blah blah blah... uh... i did try to fix it... no, it's not under warrenty anymore (yes we did buy it over a year ago, although she insisted that we didnt), and i did take it into the computer store to fix and they pretty much told me it would cost upwards to $2000 to fix, so why bother. then since that argument is dead she starts whining that all i do is break everything and i don't eevn take care of it... right...i'm really going to break my own laptop... i'm sure eveyrone out there just goes every morning, "gee.. i think i'm going to break something today... how about my car... maybe i'll drive it into a light pole for the hell of it." sh*t... does she ever grow up? she has her own computer why can't she just use that? all she needs to do is buy a wireless card and she can use the router THAT I BOUGHT. sorry k, i gave her an ethernet adapter THAT I BOUGHT so she could use the hard wire THAT I BOUGHT hooked into the router THAT I BOUGHT but i guess there might be something wrong with the cable... oh well... $75 of mine wasted... but she can still just buy a wireless card and use the router anyways.. but no... she chooses not to and complains that i don't do anything for her... sorry k if i coudln't figure out what was wrong with the cable... i can't fix it if the cable is broken... oh wait, i guess it's my fault anyways that the cable is broken in the first place...

augh.... so anyways..... i got a program to do that isn't working.. and i have a sister that's irritating me and accusing me of everything possible like all i was doing since i got home was watch tv... and that was only because when she came over i was watching tv... but i guess that means that the entire 4 hours that i had been home prior to her arrival i was watching tv... yep... i guess that's why i was the only one who was helping my mom cook dinner and had just sat down for a break before dinner... yep... but i guess none of that ever happened since the almighty god that i have for a sister didnt' see it so she can assume anything she wants.

sorry... see that's why i need my own laptop... i can't help it that I'M MAJORING IN COMPUTER SCIENCE SO I JUST MIGHT NEED A COMPUTER EVERY NOW AND THEN!!!! but oh wait... i'm just going to break it anyways right? yeah... sure...

augh.... program doesn't work.. and that's the program we got from the professor... damnit...

(Tuesday 01.29.02 10:25 AM)

*yawn* hehe... yeah... so i haven't been writting in this for a while. school started... and i'm trying to stay on track... getting all my work done so so far so good. =)

well i did run into some problems with my webpage last week. i had accidentally deleted a file from my account and had asked the system administrators to help me restore it since they periodically back up the entire system. anyways... so i emailed them, got a reply, saying that they had backed up my entire webpage to a different folder. they deleted the original... but what made it worse was that it wasnt' even my entire webpage! some stuff was missing... and lots of things out of place... so anyways.. emailed them back (btw, it wasn't really a admin helping me... one of the other staff), asked them to just give me back my original webpage... so they said sorry.. and then they said they put my page back up... but what they gave me was 2 folders from my webpage... and those folders wasn't even complete! augh... so yeah.. i had to email them back once again.. this time a little anxious at the thought of losing my entire page... so yeah.. they finally gave me back everything.. augh....

write more later... tired.. in class...

oh... check out my project for art 201... we had to make "nothing"

haha... well, went to see Monsters Inc again with greg them on sunday night since we didn't have school monday (veterans day! woohoo!). haha.. gotta love the short movie for the birds... if you didn't see it yet go and see it! it's worth it just for that movie... heheh

so anyways, might go on a trip this upcoming 4th of july break. there's going to be a magic convention in san diego so greg asks us if we wanted to go. if everyone goes then there'll be 5 of us. and after the convention we're gonna head off to las vegas since all of us is 21. woohoo! hehe... but yeah... should be fun! i just hope that i can afford it. if i can save some money every weekend then it shoudlnt' be too much of a problem.. just saving the money is another thing. sigh... but yeah... we'll see... should be fun!

anyways.. installing XP on my laptop again. they finally released drivers for my webcam so i think i'll have everything that i'll need. =) we'll see... we'll see...

(Friday 11.09.01 01:03 AM)

sigh... i hate doing chemistry labs... i can never figure out how to do all the problems. *grumble* too lazy to go looking for the solutions... hehe....

so anyways... gonna skip class tonight (kung fu) cause it's the last home game for the wahine vball team... got front row seats again at least! and this time no stupid cheerleaders! hhaha... damn it! just might go to the football game on saturday too. hey it's homecoming! besides trav got free tickets to the game so might head on over to the stadium after my gigs. hopefully get there before halftime. UH band should be doing an interesting show once again.... =)

haha.. you know they were saying that people were actually going to see monsters inc just for the previews? some theaters were actually telling customers that they can't ask for a refund after the previews were over... haha.. cause the last trailor for harry potter and the teaser for star wars II both showed in the previews. along with ET... yeah, they're bringing it back to the theaters... that's cool though...

(Monday 11.05.01 01:13 PM)

yikes... i haven't written in here in a while. i'ver kinda been just slacking on a lot of things lately... sigh... gotta get my things together. hmm...

hmm.... i dunno.. just having a bad day... somewhat... tired and irritated. what a lovely combination. heh... stupid people who don't know what a computer is. ah well... that's not the only thing bothering me. hmm... ok...

yeah, i just feel like babbling... hehe.. got nothing to do at work right now. ok...

(Sunday 10.28.01 02:36 PM)

well... didn't really do much this weekend. worked... worked... and worked again today. at least it wasnt' too bad... last night at the last gig, they had like these people singing for entertainment, and to start of their show, one of thier guys sang god bless america.... kinda cool... the entire crowd stood up. that was cool... was raining like the entire day yesterday. hehe... yes, i was planning on washing my car but did't... phew... heheh

(Friday 10.26.01 12:55 AM)

hehe... alright, so anyways, went to compusa like at 11:30, already had a line in front so i was kinda worried that i wouldn't get what i wanted. turns out that they were passing out the rebate forms to the first 10 people that wanted each item... cause they only had 10 per store of some items. and then i find out that you need to buy XP for any rebate... even the instant savings. augh... i thought it was just for the mail in rebate which wasn't that much. the router came with a $110 instant rebate, and a $20 mail in if you buy XP... i thought only the $20 was for XP, the $110 you could get anyways... nope... sigh... so i figured ot just go in and get some of the other stuff they had anyways.

anyways... so walking around, looking for stuff.. then i see this one guy walking around with an XP box... hehe.. hmm... from what i could see that he was carrying he was only going to get that printer for free when buying XP... and the offer allows you to get 2 items... so i figured to try my luck and ask him if i could get the router with him... hehe.. so for his troubles i let him have the $20 rebate, and just gave him the cash for the router... =) hehe.. actually thought he didnt' make out too much, he covered my tax. haha.. ah well... he still made a little money.. and i got my router... =) so today before i came home i rushed over to compusa and got the wireless card which i'm using now. =) i'm happy... =)

i'm kinda glad i went last night. they had some pretty good deals... even got a dual digi cam/web cam... $50, but after mail in rebates it's free. so that's pretty good. me and my brother both got one each so we're getting 2 (they didn't receive their shipment for the cameras so we had to preorder and they'll call when it comes in). hehe... so i'll have a webcam soon! haha... we'll see how good that is... =)

(Thursday 10.25.01 10:39 PM)

wireless!!! woohoo!!! went to compusa last night for their midnight madness... aahh.. ok... i'll write about that later. but anyways... woohoo!!! sorry, having too much fun with my wireless network now... =)

(Wednesday 10.25.01 07:58 PM)

whoa... did i ever tell you guys about that SmarterChild person on AIM? anyways, it's sorta like a computer bot thing that you can talk to on AIM... give it a try. it's actually kinda funny. anyways, first time this has happened to me... i wanted to talk to it... so i messaged it, but then it responded:

Nike PC 98: home SmarterChild: [Service too busy]

haha... well that's a first... anyways... hey tonight compusa has that midnight madness thing going on for the release of XP. haha... i think i might actually go though... linksys wireless access point + 4 port router on sell for $120 after rebates... woohoo... was selling for $150 last week. i think i might try and get one... but then i gotta buy a wireless card but that's alright... at least i can use my laptop anywhere in the house then! =) only 10 available though! i better get one! maybe even 2.... hmm...

(Tuesday 10.23.01 10:22 PM)

man... haha... i got windows 98 on my main computer at home... just ran into a huge memory leak when i tried taking off the pictures from my camera... rebooted with reader connected, then it started to shut down cause of low resources... haha... wtf? haha.. memory leak!!! we learned about that in ics! heheh... sigh... finally got all my pictures off the stupid card...

(Tuesday 10.23.01 01:22 PM)

haha... yesterday i got windows XP and office XP... hehe... installed windows xp pro on my laptop... and loving it! hehe... it's kinda cool... real vibrant and colorful for one... and they rearranged everything, pretty much. of course you can always customize it so that it'll be like the, "classic" windows but nah... i'm starting to like it. =) for one, by default they got rid of everything on your desktop except for your recycle bin... hehe... that's kinda cool... and neat though. you can now access everything thru your start button (which is green btw... woohoo!). kinda neat. supposedly it's the fastest loading windows and it loads programs quicker and more efficiently (so saves on battery life if you're on a laptop). i guess i'll test drive it and let you guys know how it is! but so far so good! =) i went to bed late playing around with it last night.. =) i even got screen captures if anyone wants to see.... hehehe...

(Sunday 10.21.01 12:03 AM)

woohoo! UH won their game today against Tulsa. and again, their starting quarter back timmy chang didn't play due to injury. not that it's good to have him hurt, but it's nice to see that uh can still execute their plays withour their starting quarterback. hehe... this morning we had a performance in china town. they had a fundraiser for the relief fund for 9.11.01. so we did a lion dance, and then we donated all the moeny we collected to the fund. but they treated us to lunch at least! hehe... so yeah, we had to be at the club by 8:30 in the morning... augh... too early.. but not only that, the game started at 9 so all of us were trying to huddle around a portable tv and watch the game. haha... craig and his bad interference... heheh...

anyways... so today we had 2 gigs for balloon monsoon. first one we were supposed to be there by 12:30... we got there, and no one was there. even the person that called for teh gig wasn't there. everyone dind't start coming until like almost 1, and even that, the lady that called us showed up at like 1. i bet they were all watching the UH game! grrr!!!! sigh.. i mean, not that i mind or anything... but what if we had to be somewhere else after? she didn't even say sorry or even mention anything about her being late or why. just make like it didn't matter that we were waiting around for over 1/2 an hour. sigh.. ah well... at least she tipped use like $10 each. heh.... that actually surprised me...

(Monday 10.15.01 08:54 PM)

woohoo!!!!!!!!!!! my memory came in!!! now just looking for format my computer yet again. then i'll go and install win2k. finally... hehe.. damn it though.. jsut hate backing everything up again. ah well... good to format anyways.... aahh... let's jsut hope that his helps. but damn it.... laptops are selling for dirt cheap prices now... so temping to get another one... if i only had the money... hehe... damn it.. ah well...

(Sunday 10.14.01 07:10 PM)

haha.. yesterday went to borders and was looking around... you know those, "whatevers for dummies" books? anyways... saw one... america online for dummies... ahahaha... man... if you need a book like that for america online, which is already designed for the, err.... not too computer literate, haha... oh man....

alright.. was supposed to do my homework and what not today... wanted to wash my car too... but then started to read again and well.... err... haha... yeah... should be getting to doing what needs to be done. hehe... ok... dinner time (yeah, still procrastinating).

(Friday 10.12.01 11:23 PM)
"it was the best of times, it was the worst of times." -- charles dickens, a tale of two cities.

think about it... our lives now... i am so proud to be where i am... who i am... part of this great nation... yeah, to think that this all came about only because of the terrible tragedies... hehe... i remember reading a tale of two cities... and reading that famous line... but it never really had meaning to me until now... and even like our national anthem... we take it for granted... and some even brush it off... i hope we never forget the true meaning of being an american...

(Friday 10.12.01 01:47 PM)

MY MEMORY CAME IN TODAY! BUT NO ONE WAS HOME!!!!!! AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sigh* ordered more memory from my laptop... but damn it.. i kinda had a feeling that it would have came in today (ordered it on wedensday i think) but then no one was home! augh.... now i think i'm going to have to wait until monday for them to come back to my house. augh... augh augh augh augh augh... grrr....

anyways... yesterday was 1 month since the attacks on the WTC. it sorta seemed like a long time for me... but then not really... i guess since there's still so much going on and you still see all the effects of it all around us... still haven't gotten around to taking pictures either. =( haven't had the time i suppose... maybe this weekend. hmm... we'll see...

hmm.. this is what? day 5 now that we've been bombing afghanistan? yikes... i don't what's going on too... they said now that someone in new york has just gotten the anthrax bacteria from a annonymous letter post marked from florida. the letter held a white substance. man... then that means that there is someone still out there trying to attack us.

just read this from president bush's statements from his press conference yesterday, october 11, 2001. he was talking about how the people and the children in afghan are... that for the children, one in three are orphans, and almost half suffer chronic malnutrition. they started a fund for the children and are asking american's children to each donate a dollar and mail it in a envelope marked: "America’s Fund for Afghan Children" and send it to the white house: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. hmm... sounds nice... i really like what he said after that though:

"Ultimately, one of the best weapons, one of the truest weapons that we have against terrorism is to show the world the true strength of character and kindness of the American people."

it's true though.. at least i think so... if we pull together as a nation and show the world that we can't be beaten that easily... i think it'll send a strong message to everyone that they'll have to think twice before messing with us again. and... it'll also show the world and the innocent afghans that just got caught in the middle of all of this that we don't mean harm to them, just to the terrorists and those who support them.

(Monday 10.08.01 10:02 PM)

you know.... i guess ever since september 11, we've been at war... but then i guess now it's beginning to really hit us how real it is. the us and it's supporters against terrorism have started retalliation strikes against afghanistan and all those who support and harbor terrorist. honestly, i think that this campain will run over a long period of time, though i'm hoping for a quick resolution to all of this.

i'm still in awe at the show of patriotism that i see around though. it gives me a sense of pride and comfort that i've never known before. don't you think so? i actually wanted to... and still am planning to go around taking pictures of all the flags, signs, etc that we see around. whenever i do get around to doing it i'll post it here or something or make a website maybe. we'll see...

(Monday 10.08.01 10:03 AM)

*yawn* not fair... it's a holiday today!!! discover's day!!! damn it... but it's only a federal holiday.. not state.. so sucks to be us... hahaha.... damn it...

and you know.. that damn program that i've been working on for the past week... augh... damn it.... hmm.... still having problems... anyone know C? hehe... ahhh.. damn it....

(Sunday 10.07.01 07:33 PM)

i am so tired.... hehe.... aahhh.. this weekend was just tiring. i guess it wasn't too bad... but still... hehe... last night i finally got to go to dave and buster's at least. they just opened last week. if you don't know, it's a new arcade place that's geared to adults. it's kinda cool.. line to get in though. but at least it was moving. gotta go back though. still got credits on my cards to play there. i guess it's a good idea that'll make money for them. good in a time when our economy needs a boasting.

other than that never really did anything this weekend though. just worked... so tired too. woke up early today for nothing. thought i had to work earlier than i was supposed to.... augh... ah well. anyways... i better go and finish up my program that was due last thursday... hehe... teacher got into an accident on thursday (he's ok, nothing serous) but he didn't come to class that night. so since pretty much everyone didn't finish the program, she extended it to tomorrow. phew! too bad i procrastinated again... heheh.. ahhh.....

(Wednesday 10.03.01 10:45 PM)

sigh... stupid ics programs... i just wish i knew what i was supposed to do! augh... yeah... working on a program that's due tomorrow night... thing is i never learned the syntax for the code... so i don't know how to use it. sigh... and reading the book doesn't really help either... hmm... damn it... i'm just too fustrated right now. i need a break... augh...

(Monday 10.01.01 11:07 PM)

"...30-member barbershop quartet." hahaha.... it's from jay leno's headlines. monday night guys! every week... hehe... gotta love it...

so anyways... today work was ok... though for like a few hours it was only me and my boss... right around lunch time too... aahhh... ah well. oh... by the way... happy moon festival, or mid-autumn festival! it's a chinese celebration. that's about all i know... hehe.. that and we eat moon cakes. heheh.. so yeah....

(Sunday 09.30.01 10:04 PM)

"show me the money!" hehe... just watched jerry mcquire... well, the ending of it anyways. aahh... well, there goes another month... getting closer and closer to the end of 2001 too. aahh... there's no holidays in october! aahh... sigh...

well, i washed my car yesterday... augh.... yup... right when i was drying my car... it rained. just my luck. go figures eh? heheh... didn't really do much this weekend. worked saturday night, and then today afternoon. after that went to UH with travis, alice and craig to just throw around a baseball... hahah... you know how much fun doing stuff like that is? heheh.. aahh.... how i miss those good 'ol days... we just might do it again next week... =)

(Tuesday 09.25.01 07:05 PM)

saw a commercial by Ad Council... pretty much it was all different people saying, "I am American" pretty cool... i must say. they ended the commercial with the quote, "e pluribus unum" or "out of many, one" if you don't know, you'll find that quote on our money... but then you know, i never thought about it before... like actually thought about the quote. what it meant, why the put it on our money... etc. heh... kinda makes sense now.

jay leno showed a picture that his father took a while ago... it was of a small flower, growing out of a piece of stone... kinda symbolic.... "if this little flower can do it... anyone can" yeah... it was a nice picture.. just a polaroid... but still. it's comforting to see how so many of our celebrities are setting examples and donating money and trying to do anything possible to help. even jordan, who recently said he'll return to the NBA with the wizards said that he'll donate his entire first year's salary. wow... that's all i can say.

i still want to take a picture of the ribbons along the H1 on redhill... trouble is i don't know how i'm going to do that! hehe... can't exactly stop my car in the middle of the freeway... or can i... hahah... hmm... maybe i can get someone to drive me by and i'll take pictures out the window.. haha... either that or take from the other side of the fence.. there's a hiking trail around there. hmm.... temping temping.... maybe i can hop over the fence or something. hehe.. damn...

(Tuesday 09.25.01 12:11 AM)

heh... you know.. i'm glad to see a lot of patriotism... they say that flags are hard to come by in stores... they sell out quicky. haha... but then there's been sporatic reports here and there of people's flags been stolen from their yards! hahaha... common guys! nice to see the pariotism.. but common! hehe... it's kinda funny... =)

hey... if you ever have a chance... go take a ride on the H1 over red hill heading towards pearl city... look on the fence on the right side... someone tied ribbions along the entire lenght of the field... red white and blue. wow... just nice to see...

(Thursday 09.20.01 11:33 PM)

hmm... you know... as a kid... many of us look to the fire fighters, and the police officers to be our heros. we were always impressed by them and looked up to them. it's funny... and i think many of you will agree with me... that we once again look to them as our heroes.

so anyways... school is... uh.... going. trying to keep my concentration on school now. just had a midterm today for chemistry. our first of 3... hehe.. yeah.. 3 MID terms. i really don't think i was ready for it... but i guess we'll see when the scores come out. aahhh... hmm... ah! i know what i have to do! chems lab! ahh.. haha.. ok...

(Tuesday 09.18.01 07:20 PM)

hehe... beware of the nimda worm going around... hehe... man! it took down the entire UH network! aahhh... kinda gets boring of saying that at work, "sorry, we are currently experiencing a network outage..." if people would only listen to our status message... and belive it! haha... ah well....

you know... i was driving to school the other day... and on one of the over-passes on the freeway was a guy, maybe in his 30's.. standing there.. waving an huge american flag. i just hope that the pride and the unity isn't just a fluke... i hope it remains in this country... so that no one would dare threaten us and our way of life again.

ohh... ok.. food...

(Sunday 09.16.01 11:13 PM)

haha.. ok.. sorry... just procrastinating... should be doing homework but hmm... here... friend sent this to me.. it's uh.. kinda funny but yet disturbing... hehe

you know.. i knew that it was going to rain this weekend.. but then yesterday i came home after a performance for lung kong... and i just got sick of my car being so dirty... so i washed it.. and what would you know.. it rained that night... all night.. and a good part of this afternoon. sigh... actually i expected it so whatevers... i wanted to wax my car for a long time now so i washed it again today before i waxed it... now when i wash my hands i cna't feel the water. hahah...

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
-- Albert Einstein

in this time of great loss... and great anger... i hope that we dont' end up just as bad as those who have caused this... yes... we have a right to be mad.... but we shouldn't take it out on those who had nothing to do with this. it's sad to see how some are lashing out at our fellow americans... just because of their ethnic background.

i am proud to be american right now though... i know that we can pull together... and as one nation... we'll come out standing stronger than ever... may those who have felt this great tragedy the hardest know that they have the support of a nation and the world behind them.

(Thursday 09.13.01 01:41 PM)

phew... i got up this morning, looked at my alarm clock and read, "9:11" geez...

anyways, today was ok thus far. i'm just really tired right now. outside the heldpesk at the laptop docking stations cause i need to work on my program that's due tonight. ah! ah yeah... hopefully it wont' be too bad... sigh... but then the network is down... no connection to anything outside of UH. hehe... actually it's kinda good then there's no AIM or anything to distract me. hehe...

(Wednesday 09.12.01 10:37 PM)

wow... it's amazing... how much our country can pull together in a time of crisis. american flags, red, white and blue ribbons selling like crazy all over the nation. this shows you that the american spirit cannont be damped by the cowardly actions of others.

with all the talk about sporting events being canceled for now... i honestly understand. not only out of respect for those fallen and the many more affected... but also because the players are also some of those that have been affected directly. watching the news... you see some of our very porfessional sports players... who we always look to and see as strong and talented individuals... down to tears from the events that have taken place. it's amazing how because of just a few... how many lives have been changed. i do know that as a nation we can rise up over all adversity... and show to these cowards the true american spirit.

i'm still in shock... and can't concentrate on anything really. i don't know what to do.. i have homework and stuff to do... but i just can't concentrate... i can't belive it...

i still can't believe my own eyes... american under attack. we alway see things like this in other countries... but never anything of this magnitute.... it's so hard not to think about it... or to think about anything else for that matter. here's something that was sent to me...

"In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb ... The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"
- Nostradamus, 1654

hmm... you think? i was talking to one of my friends who moved to california last year... and he asked me something that i hadn't thought of prior to that. if we do go to war... which, if osama bin laden is found guilty, and afghanistan refuses to turn him over, does seem likely... and i was drafted, what would i do? i really hadn't thought of it.. but yeah... it's a thought. do i support war? well, i support find those responsible for this horrorous and cowardly attack and bringing them to justice... i just can't believe that anyone could do something like this... to attack and kill so many innocent people.. who had nothing to do with thier issues. i can't believe the anger and the hatred in these people's hearts... i guess if there was a draft and i was selected then i'd have to go... i do however support any means needed bring these people to justice... but, i do hope that cooler heads will prevail... and nothing drastic occuring.

i'm glad though that our country still stands united... and support showing all over the world. at a time like this we need our friends and allies for support. at a time like this our country needs to stand together, strong and united. as president bush stated, "...our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America -- with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could."

my thoughts and prayers go out to all the friends and families of all that have been affected by this unprecedented tragedy...

"i hope i have not awaken a sleeping giant" sorry, don't know exactly who said that quote. i know it was in the movie pearl harbor and it was a japanese leader who said it after attacking pearl harbor. this was quoted in a report by if i remember correctly by fox news.

(Tuesday 09.11.01 08:48 AM)

9.11, a day that will live forever in the history of our nation, and the world. i can't believe honestly how anyone, no matter what their issues are, could do something as horrific as intentionally injuring and killing so many innocent people. i guess like they've said before, war now won't be held on a battle field... gotta head to school soon...

my thoughts and prayers are with all who have been affected by this tragedy...

(Sunday 09.09.01 08:16 PM)

what a day... hmmm... don't know what to say. sorry...
