Ultimate

That's the one word I'd use to describe the last few days of my last spring break--

Ultimate.

Unbelievable fun getting
Lost in
The city,
I appreciate.
Making memories with
Awesome friends was
Truly
Epic.

Ha...

I'm lame...but that's nothing new. =P

Winter quarter ended for me on Monday, March 16th, and I must say that I definitely milked it. By the time Monday rolled around, I'd pulled seven all nighters in the month of March alone, so I spent the bulk of my time that day catching up on sleep...and then Tuesday I started going out and depriving myself of sleep yet again.

Tuesday I had lunch with Rachel Tsao and the dinner with Steve Kim, two people I hadn't seen or really talked to in a long while. I had lunch at that Greek place in Diamond Jamboree--I'd been wanting to try it for a while. Then dinner was at Cafe Hiro in Cypress...Japanese fusion stuff? Pretty good~and very cute. =] Afterward I spent a good 4.5 hours baking cookies and delivering them to those unfortunate souls who still had to study for finals...

Wednesday I went to the student health center to get some lab work done. Lab work = blood work--my arm is still bruised. =[ The person taking my blood didn't even have a hard time or anything--he just stuck the needle in my arm and took my blood, but I still got bruised up. Afterward I had lunch with April Beltran @ Wasa and dinner with Sue Kim in K-town...AYCE Korean BBQ =]. It's always nice meeting up with April, and it was awesome seeing Sue because I hadn't seen her in at least over a year...and there's just something about meeting up with old friends that's just...awesome. =]

Thursday...that's when my break started getting kind of crazy. The original plan was to meet up with Garnet in the afternoon and then chill until CK joined us at around seven when we would head down for our quarterly ATW San Diego run, but...things didn't really happen according to plan. I did meet up with Garnet, and we ended up going to The Lab to stop by the Buffalo Exchange and eat at Gypsy Den, then dropped by American Apparel...long story short, CK met up with us at around nine thirty (if I'm remembering correctly) and a phone call to Eddie Kang to ask for directions to Super Sergio's turned into a 12:30am departure from Irvine to San Diego with kG, seeK, Richard Kwak, Eddie Kang, and Mark Barlis. More specifically, we dropped by El Coti's and then visited a very foggy Mount Soledad. We got back home at around 5:45am...ha. I slept at around six, then woke up to Sharon Lee's phone call at around noon on

Friday. Esther Lee and Sharon Lee were already over and waiting for me...we'd made plans (along with CK) to go to Zenko's in Mission Viejo to get some AYCE sushi. So...CK came over as I was getting ready, and we headed out to eat at Zenko's where the waitress questioned us twice because of the massive amount of food we ordered. We had something like four or five servings of calamari and mussels, six rolls and sixty pieces of sushi...yeap. Afterward we headed over to Yogurtland for some dessert...haha fatties f'sho. For dinner I met up with Jason Choi and Michelle Lee and we went to Mr. Pizza in LA and visited John Lee at work afterward...

Saturday I met up with Sara Kim and Jason Choi for lunch at Koba Tofu Grill in Amerige Heights...Michelle joined us later and we all went to Cafe Veronese in downtown Fullerton.

Sunday I went to church as usual, then I met up with John, Jason and Michelle for dinner for some AYCE Korean BBQ at Cham Soot Gohl in Garden Grove. We went to Lindbrook on Brookhurst for some bowling fun and to digest after dinner...haha.

Monday was the only day I stayed at home.

Tuesday I went to Disneyland with Jason and Michelle.

Wednesday I drove up North with John, Jason and Michelle...Top Dog for dinner with Richard Shin, visited the double helix and whale at Tilden(?). Michelle and I slept at Greenhouse and John and Jason stayed with Richard.

Thursday the guys came to pick us up at about 10:30am and we drove out to the city and found public parking at a Safeway. Took the CalTrain, then got lost and wandered around for a little bit. We found our way back on the CalTrain to Union Square and rode the cable car over to Fisherman's Wharf. We had some clam chowder, headed to the antique arcade place, walked to Pier 39 and rode the cable car back to Union Square where we met my brother. Had dinner at Palomino, then went to Treasure Island and took some photos there...dropped my brother off, then headed back to Berkeley where we went to get some ice cream at McDonald's.

Friday we had breakfast at La Note with the guys at 8:30am, then drove back to Pier 39 and parked in a lot there. We walked over to a bicycle rental shop and rented four bikes, and biked on the Golden Gate Bridge to Saulsalito. We had lunch there before taking the ferry back to Pier 41. Biked to Ghiradelli Square and had some Dreyer's ice cream (haha) covered with Ghiradelli chocolate, then biked back to the rental store to return the bikes. Dropped by Berkeley again to pick up a few things I'd left at Greenhouse, then dropped by Top Dog one last time before finally heading down at 7:30pm. We looked up a Target with Michelle's cell phone and bought a few games there...we played a slightly modified version of Catchphrase for several hours...haha. I got back home at about 3:30am and slept by 4:00am.

Today I woke up at 8:00am to find that my mom had spent the night doing all my laundry, cleaning my car, organizing my things, and...not sleeping. I was extremely grateful...I am so undeserving of such treatment!! I went to missions training a little late--walked in at about 9:10am. Had lunch with the team, then came home and started typing this...and then I took a break and had some Cefiore frozen yogurt with Chuck and his cousin Jason...and now I'm back at my apartment finishing up this entry.

Tomorrow will be church again, and I don't know what else will happen...maybe I'll just stay home and do nothing. =]

I'll post another entry (hopefully tonight) with some photos--I only took about 875 photos over the course of my spring break. ha...ha...-___-;; I guess it'll take me a while to pick out my favorites.

=] Hope those of you who were on break are pleased with the way you spent it, and that those of you who weren't...are satisfied with what you've done with your lives these past couple of weeks.

Farewell......for now. ^^

because i said i would

...i'm posting before i get some shuteye.

i forget why i said i wanted to post...hm.

turns out shinhwa doesn't have a tenth album--that makes it easier for me...

i'm going to disneyland tomorrow =]

then i'm heading up north from wednesday-friday...should be an interesting trip.

alritey. i have to wake up in six hours...

peace.

I've fallen in love

with bold/jewel-toned/highlighter colors...haha. =] Does my new layout give it away? I feel like I'm in junior high again...

On another random note, I've been wanting to listen to more Shinhwa lately. haha! I only have their ninth album on my iPod, so I started digging through my CDs to find the others...

Apparently I have albums number four through seven, plus #4.5...as well as number nine, and two concert CDs.

I can't find 4 and 4.5 though...=T I have my fingers crossed--I think they're at my apartment in Irvine.

I'm going to go look for albums one through three online as well...I figure I want to have the complete collection because I'm close enough already. I'm pretty sure they came out with an album number ten too, but I'm not sure...

I'm probably gonna post again before today ends...

On yet another random note...

Does anybody want to go to Disneyland tomorrow? The ticket's $42...one of the guys we were supposed to go with, can't anymore because he has to work...quite unfortunate. That's a pretty cheap ticket! The original ticket price is $69...haha.

Let me know~

I'm Done

My quarter ended at around noon today.

Thank God...it's finally over.

I finished my project resubmissions for Studio Arts 65A this morning at around 8:00am.



Project 1 Resubmission
Jagged Edged Skipping Stones

Five different icons/tiles--BCC, CCM, SRCC, SHHS, and family. Most of the people I've met/I know are from or were met at/through one (or more) of these groups.



Project 3 Resubmission
Design Culture Now

Our assignment was to design a poster using all the text we were given...and we weren't allowed to add any graphics or anything.

It's pretty straight forward. My first poster very poorly designed...I hope my prof agrees that this is a far better project than my first attempt.

That...is all.

I slept for 8 hours today...


...and I'm going back to sleep. =]
