indescribable?

i need to write a goddamn cover letter! hopefully this post will get my creative juices going..

my life is indescribably weird right now...i'm not sure if i should enjoy this or not.

rush just ended. i must say it was a fun week.

i can't find a job? Am i not qualified enough? I'm pretty sure I am, just that my cover letter is lacking...

all my classes are boring...easily doze off in any of those classes..but i vow i will get straight A's this semester. after all i'm not pledging

too much reading. i always put them off for later but trust me, they'll catch up to me. I have a lot of catching up to do over ze weekend

so in a last second decision i decided not to rush AKpsi or DSP. next year for sure though.

clubs. i was so involved in high school and now that im in college, i feel like im not in any clubs. so this semester i'm applying for ABA, UFA/UMFG, and NSU. i'm worried i wont get into any

so life so far has been busy, yet i find time to relax every day...

2010!!

10 things about college

since i havent blogged in a while, i decided to give you guys an early xmas present by leaving another post. haha lucky you

so my first semester at UC Berkeley (i just hate it when people spell berkeley wrong) has come to an end, and i wanted to reflect back on my college experience. so here are 10 things about college:

1. berkeleys not too hard. i mean, you can definitely party and get good grades. just learn how to manage TIME. time is always of the essence. i swear, time should never be wasted.

2. frat life is fuckin awesome. refer to my previous post, but all you college kids, do you feel as if you have a close group of friends like you did in high school? i dont think so. but in a frat, you feel as if you're in a close group of friends, a BROTHERHOOD, and that's really what a frat's all about. the brotherhood. not just parties and bitches, cmon i'm not like that.

3. my pbros are uber gay. but we've been thru so much shit together, and we are tight as hell. TAU = three and united hahaha

4. control your meal point spending. i was srsly starving the last week of school because i ran out of meal points.

5. dorm life is awesome. especially because every one on my floor is super close. i love it!

6. my roomies are also cool but living in a triple is wayyyy too crowded. i wish i was in a double. what i really wish for is my own room. maybe next year.

7. 32% tuition increase wtf?!

8. i need to start working out!! the blood pact will start once again next semester!

9. berkeley kids are pretty ugly. hahah

10. dont lose shit!! i've lost so many things at berkeley, i'm so irresponsible. jeeeeez

i realized that many of these things apply solely to me haha.

college is fun, way better than high school.

happy holidays!

i've been home since last thursday and i've enjoyed every day of my winter break thus far :)

from monday to wednesday i was at big bear with the xc crew + clara, erika, melanie, carissa, hayley and daniela. ah damn what a fuckin chill trip. there is no such thing as TFB haha

highlights of the trip:

1. snowboarding. damn i havent snowboarded since middle school but i still remembered how to, which was kinda surprising. snowboarding is so exciting, i love it! i wanna go again!! good thing i'm goin to tahoe with lambdas at the end of break!

2. reza's story about the fobby asian skiers. i havent laughed so hard in such a long long time.

3. ohta's zinger. hahahh

4. carissa. sooooo funny.

5. the ruins. i finally finished the movie!! it actually wasnt that scary haha why was i so scared?

6. melanie and erika. you guys are wayyyyyy too nice. thank you guys for everything!

7. "i'm gonna name him neo because he is THE ONE" HAHA

memories, memories. these things you simply never forget in your entire lifetime. these are the moments of my life. and i love them. <- my attempt at being profound haha

we need another road trip fshure.

and now since it's just about an hour from xmas, i want to wish every one (who reads this blog) a merry christmas and happy holidays!!

sincerely,

stephen

recap

ok, my bad. i've really been lagging on updating my blog. my own personal journal!! ah what am i doing?!

i havent even had one post about college..

well. college is a whole other experience. way different from high school. i mean i basically live independently which is soo different from my previous life. i can do anything i want whenever i want. but i still have self-control (kinda).

people say people change in college. i js joined a frat. but i still feel im the same person, no better, no worse. i really dont like the perception i get now that im in a frat. "oh youre in a frat, you party animal!" nono not at all. i honestly joined for the close knit brotherhood, not just to party. so yea, can you stop judging based off these stupid preconceptions. kthx

a word or two on my frat: think about it...will you ever make close friends in college? most friends you meet in clubs but those clubs dont really mean anything. its simply lacking in...closeness. you just go to the club meetings, talk about some unnecessary event, then leave. are these people you meet with for just an hour a week really your friends? in high school, i became close with my xc friends because we spent so much time together and we all shared pain and hardships that accompany cross country seasons. this experience that you share only strengthens your friendship. but clubs...you dont go through any hard shit, you just go to meetings!! come on. sure, ill join clubs to boost my resume but not to make friends. and the frat is the same thing as cross country. its the hardships me and my pbros go through than strengthen our relationship.

so as first semester comes to a close, let me ask all the other berkeley kids: what have you done your first semester? i am confident i have accomplished so much more than any berkeley freshman.

im not saying to join a frat. im saying make sure you find your close group of friends because friends come and go, especially in college, as time passes. my pbros and the bros in the house are there eternally.

berkeley classes arent that bad. jeeeez. sure its competitive but hey, ive had competition all my life and i can beat any of these berkeley nerds/rats. lolz.

college is fun and all, but i still get homesick. it was really nice seeing everyone during thanksgiving break :)

i already cant wait til winter break! (A for effort though..)

when i say good you say musiccc

im so deprived of good music :(

im jealous of riverside cuz cudi performed there, so lucky!!

i wish lupe or common or talib kweli or mosdef would perform here

recap

im tired so im gonna summarize

i dont even know what day it is...time flies too fast

wed - karaoke with carissa, hayley, and daanish. fun fun haha then in-n-out yum

thurs - hung out with my ol' friends from primetime whom i havent seen in years...haha they havent changed a bit. we went to hollywood and walked around. one of my friends got a LEGIT tattoo right on his rib. he said it hurt like a bitch so now im all discouraged. or maybe im just being a pussy. haha but it was really nice catching up with them

then went to hammers and watched nacho libre with the guys. haha funny movie. that guy steven looks a little like me when i had my long hair, and the same name?! wtf

friday - watched district 9. i looooooooved it! it was action packed, gory, funny, and emotional all in one. definitely best movie ive seen all summer. you should watch it!

i still want to see 500 days of summer...someone wanna watch with me??

money is kinda an issue..

so today...

kogis + TH new era cap + nike SB premium low dunks + undefeated shirt + $50 parking ticket + crooks&castles shirt + guppys = $$$

ah no shopping for a while :(

TFB!

who needs girls when you can have so much fun with bros?!?!

absolutely no homo, but god damn i love my friends

we know how to have fun

so on friday we decided to go on a spontaneous trip. us 6 guys. and seriously it was spontaneous. we went up to big bear because reza had a cabin up there. but he didnt even get the keys to the cabin so we broke in his own house. rofl the funniest thing ever. we broke a window pane and pushed ohta through the window. hahaha but before that we went mountain biking. that was my first time mountain biking, but i felt pretty confident cuz im pretty good at riding a normal bike. wow i had the time of my freakin life, even though we got lost for like 2 hours haha going down those steep hills at high speeds is such an adrenaline rush but most of the time we were climbing uphill...stupid trails. after being lost for a while, we gave up and got off our bikes and climbed up on this huge boulder. WOW the view from there was so beautiful, i wish i could share it with you. i could see the beautiful mountains and the lake down below, it was absolutely beautiful.  felt so risky too! one misstep and youre gone...ah so while we were riding daanish ate shit pretty badly. he mightve broken his wrist. i also ate shit but it was such a rush, i didnt feel a thing. but im feeling it now, it sucks ass!!

so after biking and breaking in rezas, we simply chilled. so chill haha. at one point in the night we went outside to look at the stars. it felt so close and it was so sparkly!! gorgeous view, cant get enough of it! great bros night out

and then yesterday we went TFB. thats all. basically another bros night out, fun as hell

robot chicken is sooo hilarious. im so glad i watched tons of cartoons growing up, it has really developed my sense of humor. my kid is definitely gonna watch tons of TV!

back2back

i went to nrb for two nights in a row!! soooo much fun singing your heart out~ you really let all your emotions go when you sing, so relieving!

i wanna do it again...

sunday, before nrb i went to obon with allie, aaron and danish. not much to do there but i ate okinawa dangos and spam musubi! but i saw a lot of people i havent seen in a really long time..it was nice seeing all of them. obon is like FOR baller central haha

yesterday, before nrb i golfed with clara and danish. golf is pretty interesting now especially since i know how to hit the ball correctly...but i definitely need more practice. and i should really practice because ill be golfing a lot once i enter the business world.

then we went to rice things..that place is such a good deal! so much volume and pretty good japanese food :)

why do people call it nrb?! it should be karaoke...dumb koreans stealing our words

im done

movin on.

kids, dont talk shit!

recent

thurs--alumni run

ah it was nice seeing all the alumni and current runners! i ran a pretty decent time haha but way slower than i ran in my previous years...i guess thats what happens when youre alum status

fri--did i do anything?

hit the gym and played ball with jimmy and daanish there...pretty fun, but it sucks playing basketball after you work out. i could only shoot short range shots to layups..but thats all i need to own :)

then dota? haha lazy day

sat--i WAS supposed to go to the gym at 7 but totally blew it

went paintballing at hollywood sports with...lets see...josh, randy, jimmy, jason, jeremy, aaron, wade and brian takao. it was basically us versus jon ishii and his south friends. it was a pretty good matchup even though jeremy is crazy good. ahhah we'd be all sad every time he got out. ah paintball is so much fun! such an adrenaline rush! but yeah it was nice hanging out with all those guys

then me and daanish hung out with carissa, hayley and baylie.  we went to mulligans randomly but it was lots of fun haha i learned rock climbing is so hard...then we had in-n-out. yum!

ah gym at 6 tomorrow :(  

dreams

i just had a weird compilation of dreams.

felt so real..but its surreal heeeeheeeee

beautiful sunset

ah whenever i dont blog about an event on the day of the event, i get really lazy and generalize so sorry!

so on tuesday, we had a bonfire! danish, peter and i went to dockweiler at 3 and met up with carissa and hayley. wow we went in the water and there were random giant dips that made me drown a couple times and the waves were so monstrous. in other words, i got raped no lube.  after giving up on the ocean we played taboo. taboo was seriously the main part of our bonfire haha

carissa and hayley left at around 6? but at the same time ohta, clara, melanie odo, aaron, and chie came so we hit the volleyball around. we could only rally for like 34 touches, pretty sad. but after we enjoyed the beautiful sunset! ah how pretty. and u know what the sexiest thing ever is...when airplanes take off from the airport, burst through the overhanging clouds and fly into the sunset. life doesnt get any better than that. haha i mustve told everyone about how sexy it is. repetition repetition. then we got the bonfire going and it went nicely. we had hot dogs and smores. and after we played taboo and as soon as i knew it, it was already closing time.

so next we met up at bomball.  wow everyone was there.  all those south bros and rach's church group. it was nice seeing those south rascals and rachel and yoseph! if u have a chance to go there, check out the tassels hanging from the ceiling.  you'll see my prom pic! :)

wednesday i went to the gym. after, ohta and i decided to go to lindberg nutrition to buy protein!! gonna get ripped, BRO! haha then we went to chipotle with zach. ah so filling...i mustve consumed so many carbs..

after i worked on my life insurance license training. i have to log in 52 hours!! but i could just keep the compy running so its all good!

then yosuke and horton randomly call me to hang out so we go to hammers' and play MoH. damn that game is so fun! best $10 investment ever hahah then we went to weinerschnitzel and got quad 3's! best deal EVER omg so delicious. ah then all those other rats came to watch gia get his ears pierced. i wonder how he looks?!!

meanwhile i hung out with mimi. it was fun, im sure she'd agree haha sorry to surprise you like that, i had to do it...

goodnight, and i look forward to a good tomorrow

AH SHIT alumni race tomorrow :((
