Hello my little blog, sorry I have neglected you. but don't you worry, I shall smother you with endless posts pretty soon! <3

Oh yeah, I went there.

So it began with a video Steph and Ada made. And well, I simply thought it didn’t do justice. So I challenged them to the epic of all epic battles! Need less to say, I think we all know who won. PWNED.

Behold The Bart Swing

I totally forgot to publish this. So I guess I rewrite this again. Our VFX professor is really a strange one. He spent a good hour of the class talking about this new fun craze of The Bart Swing. It was very interesting though. Apparently, he knew that a group of his friends were trying to do a little project on Bart. They assembled the contraption while no one was around and just left. And that morning, busy people got a little jolt of simple delight on their way to work. What an amusing concept.

Happy Mother's Everyday

Criminals for a night

So last week, I joined some fellow softball players for a casual practice at the park near my place. We had to hop a fence because we were too lazy to walk around. But that’s not the worst part .. I didn’t realize I was target practice till Gloria started hitting them AT me. So painful. But I forgive her. I think Alberto’s was in more pain than me; he was hanging on the fence by the crotch. It one of those ‘you have to be there moments’. So funny. Anyway, we went to Banana Island for dinner and wound up doing a bunch of illegal things later that night. Oh dear goodness – I’m gonna get in trouble for mentioning this so I’ll be very brief about it. XD Amateur One almost hit a car on the other lane. Amateur Number Two ran a red light by accident. Amateur Number Three almost got caught by the cops at the DMV parking lot. We saw a lot of police that night and got kicked out of the ocean beach parking lot. Whheee….

Month of April

I can’t believe I'm even attempting to do this. But I really do enjoy treasuring my memories for later reminiscing. ALRIGHTY, here goes nothing...

Dates are a blur so I'll just be very vague about this. During Steph's spring break, she slept over because she doesn't want to be at home. See what an awesome friend I am. I think I deserve an award or something. The sleepover wasn’t anything fancy, just pizza and movies. We watched 'The day the earth stood still' - which really shaped my perspective of the human race a bit. I just think it’s hilarious and stupid how people react to an apocalypse. So just imagine everyone running away if Jesus decides to come back. Pretty sad actually. We always saw ‘Marley and Me’ - I wish I could say that it was a good heartbreaking sappy movie, but I'd be lying. The movie was good but way too long. I really was anticipating when the dog would die. Or maybe it’s because we were watching it at 3 in the morning. Six short hours later, we went down to the San Andreas Lake. Our goal was obstructed by a stupid fence, so we climbed the mountain instead. It such a appealing view up there. Breathtaking if anything else. OH! And we've crossed paths with two freaky snakes. Steph and Mandy were up ahead while I chatted in the back when we heard shrieks of horror. I looked up to see two black snakes slitter to the side. The sad thing is that I screamed for no apparent reason as well (Michelle too, so I’m not that much of a dork).

The next week, I think we went out for dinner in Japantown. We had EXPENSIVE Korean food. It was my first time, and I realize that I’m not into that particular kind of cuisine. We later drove around aimlessly and wound up at the Legion of Honor. I saw a raccoon for the first time!! Tried to get a picture but failed so I instructed us to drive forward to the spooky unknown darkness up ahead. Our driver, Franklin, freaked out when we got there and floored it in reverse. It was sooooo funny! I got it on video so that would be up, eventually.

I think I spent the majority of my Thursdays that month just hanging-out. Wednesdays would wipe me out, but I'm back up every Thursdays. Weird. I remember playing a lot of Wii, I mean A LOT. Basically, Steph got this game called 'Raving Rabbits' and her father was away on vacation so we went over to her place frequently. That game is extremely fun - it can seriously work you to death. What a way to die. Hahah. We played till the wee hours of the morning. In addition, we made fun Mii characters. That was remarkable.

Let’s see, we also spent one Thursday filming a promo for Family Retreat. I had the honor of claiming the supporting role. Thank you, thank you very much. It was exciting and fun - though, I was losing my voice. I played an evil foreign alien speaking cowboy who came down to earth in a quest to inform everyone of the upcoming summer retreat. Sweetness! But I think the main action we got that night was from the little fat spider I stepped on. Franklin was giving us a tour of his house when Steph screamed 'Watch out!’ Sadly, I didn’t watch out and ended up crushing a spider. I literally screamed like a baby and crawled up the 5-something feet of Steph and into her heroic arms. It was exceedingly devastating. I couldn’t relax the entire night, thinking its brothers and sisters would come back for vengeance. ><><>

Phew. Writing more would obviously bore you readers furthermore, so I’ll stop. Thanks for reading though. <3>

Leaving the lab early made me realize one thing. High school kids are annoying. They're pushy, loud, rude, and destructive.

Encounterments with a loser

The nerve of some people! I can't believe I had to witness THE worst attempt at robbery. Beyond epic fail, man. Last night, after class, I got onto the bart and rode home. The train was pretty empty but there's still people around. And here I am sitting alone, with my bag on my lap, leisurely reading on my way back. Some guy, in other words some idiot, approaches me and place his ugly hand on my bag. He gives it a little tug and ends up face to face with my death glare. He lets go real quick and apologizes, claiming that he thought that was his bag. WTH! You've got to be kidding me. I know I'm slow but I'm not stupid. I bet he thought I was asleep and tried to pull a fast one on me. All I kept thinking was should I kick the loser? Fail. Seriously. 

Get off the stage!

Camera + Balloon = Outer Space Pictures

Using a $77 Nikon Coolpix and a $60 latex balloon filled with helium, a team of teenage students captured these remarkable shots from 20 miles above the Earth's surface. Radio-synced to Google Earth, the team tracked the package as it soared 885 feet per minute into the sky, taking shots on a periodic timer. The balloon eventually failed around 100,000 before the system parachuted to the ground. The students were able to recover the package that landed about 6 miles from the launch site., but it was only after they tentatively extracted the SD card sitting safely inside that they discovered the fantastic fruits of their labor.

The Forbidden & The Tragedy

Click for your view pleasure.

Mirrored: I was inspired by Twilight, but don't group me with all those crazy fans. I'm a die hard even before the movie, and I refuse to have any affiliation with the franchise around the hit. The movie was kind of suckish but the cinematography was brilliant. I was turned on by the visual aspect of the movie. And that is where this one came from.

I also thought the symbolism around the apple is truly fascinating. In the Greek culture, the apple is a symbol of love and sexuality. While other cultures view it as a sign of divinity as they were considered the food of the gods. I chose to go with the more religious approach. In the Bible, the apple is considered the forbidden fruit or the greatest sin as told in the story of Adam and Eve. Funny how this very little fruit cause the fall of man.

Spring Break, Baby

Oh man, I'm so behind on this... You know, spring break isn't really all that great. All it does is make you extremely lazy and procrastinate on your homework. You become a couch potato over the course of a week and then it off to school again. I went back to school this week and it was horrible. I couldn't concentrate on anything and had to rush to finish all my work 12 hours before class starts. It sucks a lot! They should cut out spring break and move it to the last week of school. Get a head start on my summer vacation. Or maybe for the next spring break, I'll just go to school. Even if no one's going to be there. So lame..

So a couple weeks ago, Jenny took us to Uvas Canyon Park for some awesome hiking. Its gorgeous over there - there’s waterfalls, wild animals, awesome foliage, endless mountain ranges, and a whole lot more. I think we bonded pretty well. I hung out with Judy a lot. She’s so giddy and happy all the time. I’m calling her to female version of Tim. Although, I’m positive she could possibly be happier than Tim!



After that, I went to the San Bruno Mountain State Park. Don't worry; I brought a Crayon with me. It was fun, but exhausting. I wouldn’t recommend that hike if you're not a hardcore hiker. It’s rocky, and steep, and hot and cold (LOL), and has a bunch of bugs flying around. I had to whip out my whip!



On Friday after fellowship, some of us stopped by Borders to witness the Twilight DVD release. It was just as boring as the other release party. I knew better, but the fangirl in me just couldn’t resist. We didn't stay long, just 10 - 15 minutes. They were doing contests and I sent out my army of apprentices to do my bidding. Bwuahahahhaa. The next day was even funnier. Our TV can sometimes pick up our neighbors cable signal – so they would watch new movie releases sometimes and we would watch it with them. LOL. So that morning, Mandy can screaming into my room and dragged my by the pants out of bed to watch Twilight. Only it wasn’t twilight, it was a commercial. Grrr.. Later on that day, I was flipping through and found the movie! I screamed of course and had Mandy join my in an array of girly squeals and hops. Also that evening, it came on again, but this time I kept my cool. The parents were in the room and it felt too awkward to watch it with them, so I left.

Sunday, I planned on going to Target and getting the Twilight DVD. Steph spontaneously joined me. We snatched the last one. I wasn’t going to because I saw that it was the only one there and I figure it could be crappy. So I set off to search for another copy. But I ended up with that first one. The Target guy was staring at me weirdly. LOL. We shopped and went back to my place to watch clips from the DVD. It was sooooo hilarious!!! I can’t go into details because you had to be there to witness our retarded behaviors….

That’s my spring break. Muah.

Answers

Why must there always be a church answer? It seems like every time I try to go deep into some problem, I always end up with a church answer. Its better sometimes to just see from a worldly perspective. It wrong, but its a lot easier to understand when dealing with certain issues. Well, maybe its just me then. Not everyone agrees with the worldly view and a lot of them are full on focus on the word of the Bible. Which makes sense because thats what we strive for - but I just don't want to hear it sometimes. I rather hear some blatant fabrication of the truth just to feel better. Very naive of me, I know. Maybe I'm just more worldly than godly. I think I've had this discussion before - I see things very black and white. So it makes sense for me to be stubborn and relentless with these touchy issues. Wow, I've strayed far away from my initial motive. Anyway, I'm just sick of church answers. Sometimes.

Aliens playing SWAT

Funny story. We played SWAT with the entire fellowship group. And for those who are reading this and are oblivious to the game of SWAT - The game is basically hide-and-seek but played in the dark with nothing but a flashlight and couple different rules. Nonetheless, it was group two's turn to hide (I snuck over to the other group 8D), Steph and I ran to Pastor Mark's office and hid in the back corner of the closet. We curled up on the ground and covered ourselves with the jackets hanging above. The seeking begins and we sit patiently. The timer was almost up and we were the last two to still be found. In comes Neilson. He searches around, spots the corner we're hiding in, sticks the flashlight under the jackets and stares at my feet for a good long moment and finally says, "That's not a person!" and rushes off (That was a run on sentence….). I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Apparently, I'm not a human to him. I must have outer worldly legs....

Killing Mandys

Rewind. It’s a typical Thursday night and this little tall one is nothing more than a ball of energy. She jumps up and down in her seat eagerly waiting to pounce on the next moving object. Sadly, it was her dear sister who suffered from this spontaneous attack. Her sister was strangled and dragged across the room like an old rag doll. Her parents were in an utter shock when they came about the remains of their youngest. Thus, in order to restore some sort of balance, they sent her off to the deep wilderness with nothing more than a flashlight, a digital camera, and four other victims. Up there, they tortured themselves with blinding flashes of light. They counted the numerous stars above and laughed the night away like aimless hyenas.


LOL. Just kidding. We just went on a random moonlit hike around Mt Davidson. No Mandys were harmed in the making of that night.

Escalator Etiquette

Okay, get this - so you're getting off whatever public transportation you were on and you follow the haphazard crowd of people up the moving stairs. Everything is going well - you follow in line, board the moving platform and shuffle to the left side ONLY to find that its been trafficked! By some idiot who likes to mess with the dozens of people who are late for work or its just some old tourist who's new to the playground. I'm sure this has happened to all of you. Some dumb bloke breaks the moving-left-aisle rule. And whats worst is when you're coming down the escalator, you hear your train at the bottom, you race down hoping that with your supernatural speed you could miraculously jump right into the train. You put it in full gear and come blazing down when some apostrophe blocks your way. He and his friend takes up both sides of the empty escalator and chats carelessly down. And all while ignoring the speed racer behind them. Downright unethical and should be scorched under molten lava!

I love astronomy class

I have decided that one of my things to do before I die is to go to Andromeda Galaxy. MAN! That place continues to fascinate me! It is the largest galaxy in our local group of galaxies and 2.5 million light years away! Which means I should start finding a way to get there as soon as possible. You can even see Andromeda with the naked eye on a moonless night, just a smudge of beautiful blending purple in a sea of stars. They say that billions of years from now Andromeda and our Milky Way galaxy will collide and form one supermassive one. The two galaxies are even moving closer as we speak. Other astronomers believe that since Andromeda hold more stars and more planets then us, there would be a great chance of life forming there. Or even more life there than we ever thought possible. And it makes sense because Andromeda is very similar to ours which adds more excitement to my next upcoming adventure!

I LOVE Dorota

Im so behind on this....

So much has happened since my last actual. Like a couple nights ago for example. We went to Denny's at eleven pm. I didn't even know they open that late... but we ate and enjoyed the company. and then Steph goes off and talk about my mouth. How its oddly shaped and looks like a sideways D. But that's not the best part. The best part is when she and I burst into painful laughter. And we didn't understand what was so funny for half the time but she fell off the chair and rolled around on the floor. Seriously. And then everyone else joined in later on. The madness continues on to the parking lot. Mandy drove around for a bit. Don't worry peeps, she has her license and has experience behind the wheel before. Not that much experience because it literally took her 5 minutes to go from one end of the parking lot to the other. I ditched Mandy after that. She went home in the other car. That was pretty funny. I think we should stop hanging out after fellowship. We all become a bit loco but its very fun! Its such a stress reliever after a painful week. <3


Alberto totally got me into this band! I love them!

23rd of February 2009

It’s my party and I cry if I want, cry if I want to. LOL. That really bugged Kat. So yes, I turned the big 21 this past Sunday. It was also Tim's big 18. I’m so glad to have a shared birthday with someone. All that attention and constant piercing stares from a couple dozen of people can really be nerve wrecking. Birthdays are never one that I look forward so it makes sense to cower in the corner for a day in a year. I just that strange to not like growing up. But it was THE best one I've ever had. I never had such an extravagant party thrown for me. I great appreciate the effort and love everyone exhumes. Lets start at the beginning though. How everything really started – so sit back, grab some of that delicious burnt popcorn I made in the microwave and read this extremely long blog (Unless I get lazy and cut it off halfway)…

It’s incredibly funny how I somehow always ruin a good surprise. Every Christmas or birthday, I find out what gift I’m getting or what not. I’m just suspicious that way. So it’s not unexpected that I knew what was going on. Plus Kathleen is a bad liar. Really bad. She calls me up at night and asks me what my favorite restaurant is and if I’m free on a certain weekend. So every since, I’ve been nagging her about that. But I must give some credit for performance. I was indeed a bit surprised. I was all dressed up for church (And was very uncomfortable) and quietly wait for my surprise party. I’d expect just a fair size group of people to accompany me on a small dinner. But I ended up with 28 size people at Olive Garden. They had planned for Tim and I to cross paths and end up at the restaurant, but epic failure happened. And I had to face the flashes of novice paparazzi by myself. I had a nice lunch though. Ate my favorite calamari and talked to many people. In the end, we racked up a bill of 500+ dollars. Which made me feel a bit bad. Which adds another reason to my distastefulness to birthday celebrations. Eats up your poor wallet.

We took a nice drive over to Kathleen’s house later on and got a sneak peek at my very first strip tease. Gag was working its way up but it was quite the experience. Watching Steph and Alberto do their awkward dancing made me love the fact that I have the coolest friends in the whole wide world – people who would suffer from embarrassment just to entertain me. How nice. >XD Our night was then filled with music, dancing, laughter and CAKE! OMG… I can’t believe I got caked for the first time. I’ve performed them numerous times but always have avoided the crossfire. But man, it all started with Tiff. She sat across from me and I eyed her down. Asking for some sign of approval of my initial thoughts and she did approve. So I went in. Got Tim good. But bad karma had rebound back to me and Steph face planted my from behind seconds later. And world war three began. It wasn’t as bad as I thought though. I always figured it was devastating but no the worst.

Oh man… here where I’m getting lazy … There are all these other funny events that happened but my tolerance is low. Stuff like Judy’s crazy dancing are for another time.

But on Monday, we went to Naan and Curry and enjoyed a pleasant dinner together. We messed around with Neilson for a while.

And then on Wednesday night, when I got home, I was bombarded with a wall of balloons. And some creepers lurking at my window. They spooked my twice that night. I think we’ve accustomed a new tradition… Man, I wish I could write more…

But this series was done on a whim - I was reading by the window and saw how shadows played across the room. INSPIRATION! I just hope no one was watching from the outside....

Ohmygosh... I can't take these fourteen hour days anymore. Work and school, back to back, in a full day. Its so exhausting. I really do come home at 10:30 at night and just go straight to sleep. There were times when I didn't even bother to shower. And I wish I didn't sound so annoying with my complaints, but I can't help it. I'm keeping it strong for now but I'll be dead around midterms and rotting by finals. Remember to say nice things about me at my funeral - And don't cremate me!!

Omg, that was a very tiring night. I'm gonna do one of those random word burst things. So we decided last minute to go watch a movie last night but we didn’t make the 10:30 InkHeart showing so we choose to watch Bride Wars instead. But that didn’t start till 12:10! So late. So we went into Underworld for like the middle hour of the movie. It was kinda good. I was just in it for the action and the entertainment. I followed the storyline a bit but it’s not as good as the first two. But then again, I didn't finish the whole movie. So we left in the middle of that to go start Bride Wars. I must admit, it was a surprisingly pleasant movie. I thought it was just one of those other chick flicks. I enjoyed very much. Afterward, us girls were talking and making plans about our weddings. It was so funny!!! Kat was walking in front of Steph and I and she heard us talk about weddings and she just did this 180 with the biggest grin and girly hands up. It was hilarious to watch the guys fidget as we talked about that. I think they were pretty scared of women at the end of that. So it’s like 2:30 in the morning and we made our way to ABCs for food. And dun dun dun catastrophe happened. I spilled my Iced Milk Tea. EPIC FAIL. I think the waiters were pretty pissed at us. Ended up coming home at 3 something. So tired....

Okay.. That was my spur of words and outburst. Have fun interpreting.

A Treasure Chest

You know, is it really that wrong to keep things to yourself. To not share every little bit of problems and dilemmas, every mental contemplations, every secret treasure to everyone. I really don't see any fault in that. I personally just can't tell the world or anyone for that matter. It’s in my nature to put on a happy face and just move on. And it’s not really all that bad at all. Why would you want to spoil happy moments or put yourself in a vulnerable situation where people would put you down if they don't like what they hear. It’s sad but true - and I'll be one to admit it. We say we wouldn't be judgmental but its there; as unintentional as it is. There's always going to be that moment where the receiving end would get that instant blur of opinions - whether it be outspoken or just a mere thought running through the head. I know it’s not Christ-like and that we should be open and express every part of our lives with each other but its too invading.

I personally feel the need to stay strong and not let emotions get in the way. It just works well with others when there’s no tension in the air. Letting my guard down would mean putting myself in a weak position and people could use that as advantage to their own gain. Plus telling everyone everything would, in a way, lose a part of your life. Your life would basically be put on display for all to see - and it doesn't become yours anymore. I don't know what I’m saying ... this was just what's been going through my head last night... I’m done =]

71. My Responsibilities

I'm finally doing something responsive to MTB. I would post on the main blog but it just feels too awkward to let all those other people into my head. So what responsibilities has God given me? Well, I think he gave me the responsibility of looking out for everyone dear in my life. I probably don't often show it but when someone close to me or even someone I've grown attached to over a short period of time is being harassed or harmed in anyway; my mind instantly goes into protective mode. I constantly see these special people get attack in some shape or form - whether it be intentional or not - I still would feel obligated to defend them. It’s in my nature to root for the underdog and cradle them in caring arms. For example, my mom would tell me people would pick on her at work sometimes and I would get this sudden urge to go slap some old people at the firm. And I know I don't demonstrate these affectionate acts of love as much as I should but its there. It’s all internal. Plus I'm too much of a chicken to get into confrontation (Its pretty pathetic really - the bugger is all talk but no walk). But I will back you up when needed. I will take a bullet for you (so to speak). So yes, that was my train of thought...

Frozen Water!?

This is an And-this-is-what-I-did.. post! Us older yet still immature group of people when on a little trip up north to Tahoe. And for some odd reason, I could tell that the trip wasn't going to go as planned. I think it started on the Friday morning when I was literally rushing around like a mad woman. First I had to pick up and drop off Alberto in the morning so he could get some last minute food. Second, I had to pick up Steph so we could remodel Mandy's room for her birthday - we covered the room with countless balloons as well as a creeper Edward at the window and a hubby Edward waiting in bed. It was funny because my mother dearest ruined the surprise a bit. She waited for her to get home and followed her to her room with the biggest grin across her face. That tipped it off a bit. But it's all good - it worked out just as well in the end. Back to Friday - So we got to church around 3 o'clock and started prepping and lugging and packing and a whole lot of manual labor. We left at 4 and was stuck in traffic for a while but it was good fun. We arrived at the cabin in the wee late hours of the night only to find that we have no running water. First major catastrophe - I never understood how precious water was until now. A good experience of what most third world countries go through. So yea, we couldn’t flush the toilets or take a shower. We resorted to melting the snow outside for toilet water. Hardcore. On Saturday the half went snowboarding while the others played in the snow. By nightfall all of us packed up and headed down to Sacramento. Spent another night there and went home. It was overall a good trip. I thought it was funny how God seems to have ruined all our plans in order for us to really wake up and know that he controls everything. Maybe nothing worked out because everything we did was all based on our motives - we didn't incorporate him into this retreat or even let him take the reins. Lesson learned I guess.

I guess another negative part of the trip were my accident prone incidents. I seriously got hurt the most on the trip. First Aid Kit was my new best friend during the weekend.... Two cuts on the fingers from the snow - Skidding on gravel on my jog to the car - Slipping and falling out of bed - Bruise on my foot from Steph - Hitting my head on the ceiling - Falling out of the slid - Cuts on the legs - And a whole lot. I'm gonna bring my doctor up next time. A bunch of other stuff happened but it seems too long to write them out. I'll put up some videos and photos later.

this is what I need, please?

I stole a Dictionary of Theology book this past Sunday! Wuahaha! JK. It was free. So while I was working on this photo, I took a moment to look up the definition of promise – found some interesting little nibbets. In the New Testament Scriptures the word Epaggelia, which in the overwhelming number of instances is simply translated promise, as a noun and in its verbal form; or a message of good tidings.

Edit/ Shoutout! So I've been receiving nothing but comments from the Youngs lately. Its nice to hear that you guys enjoy my work. I'm incredibly grateful and appreciate your good words! Thanks! <3

Epic Battles

Make your own sign! -Clique-
Hahahah! That`s so funny! I'd have a ball if I ever saw something like this on the road. Mandy and I are playing the strangest game ever. Whenever we would see each other, we'd whip out our invisible guns and weapons and have a free for all war with each other. Last time, I got her when she came home, but she dumped a bunch of acid chemicals on me and I shriveled up and died. But I resurrected and fire-bended(?) the bugger! Then I went into full martial arts mode and karate chopped her arse. We're idiots. Smashing!

I`m going back to my more fun posts. I`ve been doing a bunch of ventilation/rants posts lately. I know they aren't fun to read (or write). But fret not, for I shall refrain myself from going back there again - or maybe I just won`t post it to the public; problem solved! (LOL I feel stupid, I accidentally posted this on the MTB blog. I was like oh crap! DELEEETTTTEEE!!!!!!)

(I`m gonna start sharing my work on this blog [Only the good ones though]. Simply click the image for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.)
TIff and I had a spontaneous photoshoot today. We took some props (though a lot of them weren`t used) and headed down to the beach. Got some shots, messed around, waved hi to A LOT of random strangers, and enjoyed a sweaty hike back up...

Yes! I finally found a youtube version! <3

Complaints from a driver

Seriously, people just don't understand what a chauffeur goes through. Its not the worst job in the world, but its still an unappreciative job. People nowadays just EXPECTS you to drive them. They think you can just drop whatever you're doing at the moment and drive you somewhere. They think that you have nothing better to do than sit at home waiting for pick up calls. Maybe I`m going a bit far but the idea is there. They just think that once a driver is present they have no reason to worry about transportation - they don't even bother to ask for a ride anymore. As much as I would love to be of service, its a stressful task - making arrangements, getting resources, taking time out of my own schedule. I seriously need some loving over here (Other drivers included). I demand to be treated to lunch or be given luscious treats for all the mileage I've put on. LOL just kidding. Just make sure I get a ride whenever I request it in the future. Payback.
