Joining the pack

I don't know how many times I've talked about this. It must be one of those things that always gets to me no matter what. But some people are just plain selfish - or completely arrogant - one or the other, whichever suits your boat. It's so stupid to watch stupid people make a hypocrisy of themselves. Following the bible seems pretty pointless if you don't obey it yourself. I much rather hear that you're a total rebel instead of following a lie. Seriously, what's the point of respecting your parents when the only parents you respect are outright strangers or not even yours in the first place. Oh, I can go on and on with endless examples; I've seen plenty to experience it. It annoys me more than anything when they put themselves on this high pedestal, even if they 'claim' they are as down to earth as they possibly could. It makes me hate people - I'd much rather join a pack of wolves instead ... And if this entire post offends you, good. Maybe it'll slap you hard with some sense. My tyranny ends here. For now.

Some senseless loud music to channel my frustrations....

Strange music videos draws my attention. 8D

Cough cough achoo

Everyone's sick, EXCEPT ME! Bwuahahaha. Its funny how once my dad gets sick, the rest of the family follows soon after, and vise versa. I don't know if I have some super immune system or God has been very gracious to me, but I don't sick much, if at all. This year, I probably got sick once - and it was just a little sore throat that lasted about a day or two. Sometimes I kind of wish I could be included in the sick in-crowd, but only to regret that thought two seconds later. I guess the only downside is no sick days. Bummer.

Like old married couples

Man, our fellowship group has some serious issues. Its always constant bickering and arguing - and about the dumbest things too! I haven't been in a group like this before. Everyone just seems to know how to get under each other's skin. But then again, their stubbornness comes into play as well. Its just two negative energy going at each other. Neither one refuses to give in and just let the problem settle, thus elevating the situation to a whole new level so by the time it reaches its peak, it becomes a stupid little thing that the rest of us have to go along with. There are so many ways to avoid it all together, but they just won't do it. Its really dampens a relationship; despite whatever reconciliation they go through because there's always going to be that cloud hovering overhead. They'll go about with their lives, become good friends again, but it would never be the same - which completely sucks. But I guess if you look at it this way, if it doesn't kill us, it'll only make us stronger. Hopefully.

Birthdays

Gaahh, blogging has become a chore - and one that I'm too lazy to perform. But I MUST! I've missed many events since the last time I've been here. I MUST record down all those memories. But I guess I'll just start with the more recent (since reminiscing is a wee bit hard for me). BIRTHDAYS! Don’t you just hate it when literally everyone's birthday is clumped together in a month? Darn you friends! Why must you be born on the more popular months! I'm happy to be an outcast and saw the light of day on one of those uncool months. REBELLION!! So let’s start with dearest Stephee's Birthday. I regret not doing something worthwhile for her. I just got her a cake and spent the night hanging around. 8[ Roxy's Birthday was the day after - she got drunk. Said it was painful and that I shouldn't try it when it comes my turn. Lol. Alberto's Birthday was fun. We had this whole plan to cake him - only it was an epic failure as Steph bought a frozen pie and slammed it into his face; was funny though. Soon after was Tiff's, and yet again I didn't do anything special for her either. I should have at least given her a card. I'm such a bad person! Someone run me over! ---- Neilson's birthday was fun as well. We 'kidnapped' him and brought him to his surprise party, there was cake and caking, loud music, talking, chinese food, giant clown piñata, and just good times. I don't really want to go into details - I'm just that lazy. I need a ghostwriter. 8D

I Hate Clothes!

Bah! Humbug!! Shopping for clothes for me is incredibly difficult due to my freakish mutated body - long arms, long legs, ZERO curve appeal. I swear, they need to open a tall freak people store. Shopping is becoming depressing...

UGH! Parents are so damn annoying! I can only put off their constant nagging, yelling, and random outburst! I seriously don't know when I'll snap, and when I do its not going to be pretty. They're never going to stop - always telling me what to do, correcting me, never admitting they're wrong, constantly bickering about the stupidest things. I swear, I just want to throw something heavy at them - at least to shut them up for a couple of hours. And whats funny is that I'M being the bigger person by standing off to the side and taking it. I have to be quiet and listen, I have to be the one who's wrong, I have to not fight back. Its so frustrating! I can only take so much of this....
UUUFFGH!! I need something to eat.. or kill..

Proud BSB Fan

Backstreet Boys at TRL Finale
I haven't really watched TRL much, but this performance sure brought back those good ole boy band days. Listen to those beautiful harmonies. Plus everyone seemed to be having a heck of a time. Wish I could have joined. Bummer.

Taylor Swift

I'm suddenly very into Taylor Swift. I listened to her new album the other day and is highly impressed. But I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical before. There were a couple songs I enjoyed for the heck of it in her last album. And then I think it was her performance at ACM Awards that got me hooked. If not, then it was the Love Story music video that came out a couple months ago. I loved it. Not just the song itself but the theme and visuals of the video. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for classical, medieval, chivalry, vintage, old school stuff. A great talent.great performer!

Robert Pattinson

Balls eyes out* I can't believe I missed Robert Pattinson! I blame you Hot Topic! You and your unorganized plans! And you stupid crazy fans too!!! I'm actually embarrassed of how San Francisco and Twilighter's reacted to the event. Because of you, I woke up to the horrible news of Rob's cancellation. I was a bit bummed by the news but nothing too drastic. I became a disaster when they reopened it back up again - and I’m at home with my WTC face. And to make it things more depressing, Mandy went and met him! I loathe EVERYONE right now! Even tiff saw a glimpse of his head - which is more than enough for me because I was too cheap to buy the ticket anyway. But I really wanted to meet a celebrity. I never met one before (Concerts don’t count) :( I think I was so desperate that week that I wouldn’t of mind meeting Paris Hilton either (Which Neilson so kindly pointed out that Paris Hilton would be my FIRST celebrity encounter, which made me hesitate a bit).


Sulks in corner*

A loner lurks the halls of AAU

You know you're a complete loner when you curl on the floor in the darkest corner of the room with nothing but your home-packed lunch and a little book for your entertainment. How sad. I think I've come to realize I'm not a very sociable person with the rest of the world. I guess I was in denial before because I find it a bit hard to believe because I used to be very loud and obnoxious in high school – but maybe I just had friends around that made feel like it was all right to act that way. And I used to think that being introverted doesn't necessary mean you're anti-social. But man, this sucks. I can’t seem to make friends in college at all. I don’t know or don’t want to talk to anyone else. Maybe I’m just shy, but I doubt that. I’m losing my friends making skills! I tried, one time, to talk to this other guy next to me - it didn’t turn out well. It was all just small talk and nothing interesting happened. We just talked about classes for no more than 2 minutes and it just went into awkward mode the next 2 seconds. Funny thing is, whenever I’m with Tiff, I have no problem talking to other people, but it’s still very shallow. Maybe she’s the more outgoing one. Oh gosh .. I just realize how this is going to affect my future - no networking. Epic fail!!! I guess I need to learn how to get out of my comfort bubble - or maybe I should WANT to leave the bubble first. Gloom*

HEROES

So I've been obsessing over Heroes for the last couple of weeks. Trina finally got me to watch it, and I LOVE IT!!! WHoohoo!! I still need to catch up to Season three though. Bennet is badass hawt!! MohinderxMattxMolly pairing (LOL!). FRYING MAN! Pancakes, yatta!!! Peter Petrelli is hawt too (Cept when he cut his hair, my mom said it was a no no)! I heart Isaac Mendez! And a whole bunch of others!!!

Hello life...

Oh little blogger, how I've neglected you over these past months. I made an effort to put aside my busy life to talk ABOUT my busy life. It’s been pretty hard, life that is. But I think it’s always the fall semester that’s always hard on me. Usually, in the spring semester, I have it pretty laid back. Just chilling my way through to summer - a little prepping so to speak. But this fall semester seems to the toughest of them all - with school and work to juggle around. I have a drawing class this time; it’s very fun but also very strict. Its nitpicky but I still enjoy it. We do a lot of life character drawing. I have a mermaid, a fairy, an Indian, a warrior, a boxer, a caveman, a stripper, and a whole bunch of character in my pad right now. >XD My classes this year are pretty hardcore - especially my Friday classes. I’m in that building for 8 hours. UGH. One class, Editing, is very fun. I enjoy it a lot - it makes me want to switch major, which is also very stressful to think about. A lot of the students in that class are fresh out of high school so Tiff and I feel incredibly old. After that 6 hour class, I have a Rotoscoping class. OMG .. that class would kill any starving student out there. Doing homework literally takes up to 20 hours. Plus, by the time I get to that class, I’m wiped out. I can't focus and get really sleepy when he talks. And he talks A LOT - he very funny though; that type of really-cool-young-hip-with-dreadlocks kind of teacher. After that is fellowship, which, I must admit, is losing interest. Maybe it’s the long day, but I just feel like I don't belong there....

Anyway, enough of that. Let's talk work! I’m still enjoying work but we have SLOW days. It gets really slow - Tiff and I usually end up doing something really retarded. Or well, maybe just me. LOL

Blessings

I’m so thankful to be where I am right now in life. Sure, there are still problems and many things I still can’t quite understand, but as of now, I am blessed beyond my worthiness. God has been very gracious to me for all these years. Even when I chose to turn away from Him at one point – He came chasing after me. Even when I was struggling with my situation and wanted no one – He was there, comforting me without my knowing. And what’s more, He’s blessed me with a job. It may not be the most extravagant job out there, but I’m very content with it. I always get so excited the night before I go to work. My boss is very friendly and lenient. And the best part of all, I get to work with my friends! I was starting to think I’d lose touch with all my friends but this is a great link back. It feels like we’re back in high school all over again. It gets very tiring at time, but it’s a happy kind of tired. I just hope that school doesn’t completely beat me out. I’ll just leave all cares to Him – He’ll figure it out for me. <3

OMG. We're back again.

HAHAH!! We finally got the chance to do what everyone else has been doing on Youtube - lip syncing!! Trina is so hilarious right here. A few more coming this way.

John 14:1-4

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.”

Great America

Great America!! My sister paid for my ticket this time. Bwuahaha! This trip was AWESOME! We went as a group of 17 (?) - I thought it was going to be a problem with such a big group but we split up in to smaller group. Our group was the Mission Gang plus Steph, the sunsetter. Hahah. But the best part of that day was the emptiness of the park. The lines were so short; I think the most I’ve waited was five minutes. At one point, we had just finished with Top Gun (Now called 'Flight Deck') and there were no lines so we asked the person if we could stay on and the guy said yes!! It was awesome. Other chaos our group caused was the destruction of Heiman's car, pigging out in the parking lot with fellow bird friends, taking over the kid's water area (Everyone got really wet. Funny.), Raiding Drop Zone about 5 times (I didn't go on; it’s the only ride I’m scared of), I squished Franklin in Centrifuge, dominated Firefall about 3 times, took endless pictures of very random things, and a whole bunch more. Nonetheless, one hilarious moment happened during our time at Great America - Steph and I were watching from the side as the other went on Drop Zone for the 9th or so time and this really strange and random dude came walking by. He put on this really retarded look on his face and started ghetto walking by us, checking us out. It was sooo funny!! I kept eye contact with him the whole time while Steph avoided him but after he was gone, I couldn't help but burst into laughter. Ah dear goodness, such a weird looking fellow.

Breaking Dawn Review [Spoilers]

OME!! Breaking Dawn! I know I'm a wee bit behind but I'm always late. So I finished the book a couple days ago and I just can't express the mixed emotions I had as I read through the book. From beginning to end I was literally thrown around like a roller coaster ride. Let go through my many various expressions throughout the book, shall we? At first I was in utter bliss as Bella prepares for her wedding; or maybe I was just happy that the fourth book finally came out. And then as I continued to Jacob's arrival, I began to feel very depressed for him: his pain and suffering. And then I was at bewilderment at Bella's demand for sex during her honeymoon. I couldn’t get why she was so hormone-driven. And then perfect shock to find out that she was pregnant!! Speechless. I seriously had to take a breather. How could this happen when Stephanie Meyer had previously said that vampires can't give birth or produce bodily liquids aside from venom!? So later on in the book, I was on all ten of my toes as we encounter Jacob's point of view. I was a bit disappointed towards the end as there was really no action going on. I kept thinking that the pack was going to jump out of the bushes and do some karate-chopping moves. The next wave of shock came with Jacob's imprint on Bella's baby, Renessme. Even after reading the entire book, I still can't wrap my finger around that fact. It's just too awkward for me. After that, I was on my toes once again. The Volturri were on their way to cause mayhem and havoc. I kept thinking there was going to be a fight and some blood shed, but the only person who died was Irene. I figured it was bound to happen. She was just sitting there asking for it. I guess I have mixed feelings about this event as well. I half wanted a huge fight and half wanted everyone to live. I knew I couldn’t have both as a fight would mean many casualties and a happily ever after ending is a bit boring for me. Finally, it was a bittersweet moment as you watch Bella and Edward live peacefully forever with their daughter. I was very pleased with the ending, as most twilighters have been waiting for this moment for years. The bitter part was the final conclusion of the Twilight epidemic. I'm going to go through post-depression just as I did with Harry Potter. Le Sigh.

I think the most significant and heart wrenching part of the story is when Bella prepares for the separation between her and her daughter. I was on the verge of tears when she gave Renessme the locket as a Christmas present. I think I took another breather here too. I couldn't continue. But the irony here is that I loathed Renessme A LOT during her fetus period. As much as I understood Bella's decision and her maternal love for the 'thing' in her, I really wanted to destroy the thing. I really thought she was some kind of mutated monster ripping through Bella's stomach. Speaking of ripping, did anyone thought that labor scene was a bit, well, graphic. I could feel my gag reflex twitch a bit as I read how Edward rip open her stomach with his teeth as fountain of blood flowed out. Kind of gross if I do say so myself.
Overall, the book is a confusing one. I think I still need time to get use the whole idea. It’s a great book - a beautiful story; just a beautiful story that literally takes you the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I know I have a lot more to say about this book, but I think I should reread it to really get everything sink and set.

Weekend

Multiple events happened during the weekend of August 1st - and what a crazy weekend it was. Our fellowship group, along with a few youngadult fellowship people, went whitewater river rafting. I took it upon myself to plan the trip and boy was it a stressful one. We met up at church in the morning and went up to the American River (just a bit pass Sacramento). We got lost for a while but still managed. Our journey down the river started out pretty slow, just testing out the rapids. There were various calm waters for use to play water-fight with the other rafts and go swimming. I think the highlight of that event was when Ray, Steph and I pushed Franklin into the water. It was so funny!! I kind of pushed Tiffany into the water as well, but Steph pushed me in too. That water was FREEZING! I could feel my skin begin to prick and tingle from the cold. But that wasn’t the real problem. The main problem was that a lot of us were drifting further downstream. We had to swim against the current and it wasn't easy. I was so tired afterwards. Next, we had lunch and then went on to tackle the class +3 rapids. It was very fun, even for my second rafting trip on the same river. There was one rapid that caused a lot of trouble for us though. We crashed into it and paddled forward but we had to do a quick right turn or else we would get stuck on the rocks; which is exactly what happened. We got stuck on some rocks for a good five minutes. Quite embarrassing as there were photographers at the top shooting us. Hahah. The rest of the river was pretty typical. An exciting and fun experience at the end of the day. Good times.

We got home around 11 o'clock PM. Steph and I were in a rush to get to Borders for the Breaking Dawn Release Party. Now that I think about it, I'm kind of glad we were late. The event wasn't as productive as I though. Poor Tiff had to wait through the whole thing by herself. She won a BD button though! We got home and those two immediately started to read. I didn’t, because if I did, I wouldn't be able to stop. I wouldn’t sleep that night and would end up extremely tired for the next day's event. So I went to bed as those two went on.

The following day was a hiking day! Can you believe all my favorite things in one weekend? I was so happy. We went Fort Funston. It is such a beautiful place. The beach (Full of dogs) is a lot for pretty than the bare SF ocean beach. The hike around the cliffs is just as fun, with the various paths and trails. And finally, the view! I can tell you how breath-taking the view is from there. I was all the way to the horizon of the vast open ocean. There really aren’t any words to describe the view - you'd have to go see it for yourself. My new playground. The only flaw was the sewers by the beach. I really wanted to walk along the beach to the Westlake area, but the dang stinkin sewers were in the way. We tried to climb over it, but the smell was REALLY REALLY REALLY bad. I got a good whiff of it and would have literally fall on my knees. It was that bad. Next time, we'll hike around it before going down to the beach.

Breaking Dawn

OME! An epidemic is about to happen and I'd suggest you step aside cause theres no holding back now!! BREAKING DAWN HERE WE COME!!!

Oh my gosh, CJ7 is such an adorable movie!! Everything from kid adventures, to classic comedy, to tear-jerking tragedy. And whats more interesting - the person who plays Dicky is a girl! I give it a 4/5 SephineStars. =D

Supermassive Black Hole

YO! So I was listening to some Muse (Cause they're awesome!) and in one song, the term supermassive black hole came about. I had absolutely no idea what that meant thus I performed a thorough research - and what I found is truly mind boggling. ------
A supermassive black hole is a black hole with a mass of an order of magnitude between 105 and 1.8x 1010 solar masses. Most, if not all galaxies, including the Milky Way, are believed to contain supermassive black holes at their centers. The average density of a supermassive black hole (measured as the mass of the black hole divided by its Schwarzschild volume) can be very low, and may actually be lower than the density of air. Although it isn’t as dense as a regular black hole, it can still have enough powerful gravitational field to pull ANYTHING into its mist. Awesome isn't it?! Astronomers have discovered several dozen likely "supermassive" black holes in the cores of fairly nearby galaxies – some of which are found in the Milky Way Galaxy called stellar-mass black holes (Low mass). There are various theologies about black-holes leading to another universe or its appending doom to our universe, but nonetheless, it just blows my mind. As I continue my study of black-holes, I begin to wonder; just what did God had in mind when He created them. Was there a purpose for them? What are they really? THIS IS JUST SO FASCINATING!!

Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Ostrich

So we were playing Cranium the other day and one of the cards told me to act like an ostrich. Apparently, people don’t know that ostriches stick their heads in sand when frightened, so I was being a good idiot for 5 minutes. Groovy ....

Psalm 32:5

Why is it that whenever sin occurs people run away. I think it’s because we're so full of shame and guilt that we just completely avoid it. It’s a terrible habit - because God loves us no matter what right? But that’s easier said than done. I personally find it very hard to believe that God would love and forgive our sins so easily. I mean, why would He even have a speck of love for sinners like us. We have done so much wrong and hurt Him deeply numerous times, and yet He's still here; even as we profess our sins to him - even as we read his words of devotion to us. I don't know why it’s so hard for me to understand that (I’m such a loser). Everytime I commit any form of sin, big or small, I feel completely and utterly ashamed of myself and end up running away from him. I think that's one of the many reasons why my walk with God has been so slow and delayed. I know that all would be right again if I just ask for forgiveness but it still leaves that feeling of remorse. I guess I should be grateful afterall that I have gone through and He's still eternally faithful. I'm completely thankful and blessed; it’s just so hard for me understand why God shows so much mercy on us. I guess I'm at fault as well. My walk with God hasn't been one of the best; it’s rather slow and still at its noob stage. If I have had better commitment and patience, I would have been able to answer my own question.

Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Psalm 32:5

Wonders

Don't you sometimes just look out the window (whether it be on a bus or train, a car, or even your very own bedroom window) and take in your surroundings. Whenever I do find the time to just absorb the wonders of the world, it puts me in awe. It takes you to a completely different perspective with the world you live in. Little unnoticeable everyday things come to life and hits you square in the face like a wrecking ball. Simple objects such as stoplights for example; how on earth do people control them or how complicated it must be to wire every single stoplight across the city or even the state. Other things that come to my mind are clouds; haven't you ever wondered how clouds would feel like at your fingertips. Or what about the million various colors around us; who came up with all the color names? Why are there so many? Or are there more colors out there that have yet to be discovered? I don't know about you, but I feel very small when compared to the world. It makes you feel like there are still millions of untold questions out there. I guess I should start writing all my questions down for God to answer when I reach heaven (Its going to be a very long list…)

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Dude!! After four(ish) years, its finally over. Its hard to believe that back in 2005 I would wake up in the morning just to watch the Avatar episodes. Its been such a long journey - and quite frankly, I blame Nickelodeon for lagging along the series. Nonetheless, the ending was quite predictable but I still enjoyed it. FTW!

My Favorite Adventures

One of these days, I'm going to post timely with the date. -----
It was a dark and cloudy (actually, it was pretty sunny) Wednesday when two innocent victims trekked their way into the Glen Canyon Park of San Francisco. It was all fun and play for their first hour -little did they know that something monstrous lurks within the deep canopy of the quiet evergreens. The monster lured the innocent ones by tempting them with long stringy ropes hung at the very tops of the trees. All was well as they toyed with the death trap - swinging back and forth carelessly as they laughed and giggled through the day. It should have been a grim sign when one of them fell flat on its butt or when one was bleeding life through its fingernails, but they were foolish. Instead, they ignored all the tall tell signs of evil and blindly set their way to the point of no return. Once they entered, swarms of evil in different shapes and forms attacked the innocent ones. Evil disguised themselves as tree branches that stood as obstacles or various creepy crawlers that seeped their way onto the victim's flesh and clothing. For hours the two wandered. For hours the two crawled, climbed and sweat. They had almost given up all hope when the tall one had enough - with the face of courage, she led on. How brave was she as she even went back to save a fellow victim. The two continued onward to the glowing light at the end of this nightmare. Beatened, they stumbled out of the darkness and ran towards light with open arms and wide eyed grins. From that day on, they two learned a valuable lesson and vowed to never take that detour again. However, as the girls are blessed to be alive - the monster within roars with anger as he waits for his next victims.

Man, social life can be exhausting. It all started with the softball game the team had that afternoon. I sat with Steph and we had an interesting rating conversation. Haha. Went home afterwards to get ready for Karen's Birthday Dinner at Chevys. A good number of thirteen people showed up - but even then, I don’t think we all could have finished the meal Neilson and I ordered. It was HUGE! I felt so stuffed afterwards - and there was cake! Ugghh. It was well worth it though; eighteen dollars for the 'mix grill' - I really enjoyed the tortillas. I think next time, Ill just get an appetizer or salad. And next time, I shouldn’t sit with Neilson. We're two very boring people with nothing interesting to discuss; well maybe just me. I need to sit next to someone more talkative. Afterwards, we went to a karaoke bar at Japan-town. And Nicole totally farted in the car on our way there. Gag* The 'Do-Re-Mi' bar was full so we wandered around till we found another CHEAPER one. It's so fun to watch people get in touch with their wild side. We sang and danced to some rocker, some oldies pop, some modern ones; we even opened with a Soulja Boy rap. Good times. And all for $50 - well 60 because we went ten minutes over our hour, but they were nice enough to charge us for just the extra ten. I didn’t get home till like 12:30. I'm very tired right now. Pictures soon!

Edit: And lets not forget the Fourth-of-July-BBQ the day before. There was great tasty food and quality fellowship time. I bought a bunch of sweet potato but no one ate any - so please come over and eat them with me. Hahah.
