Never having to do anything is great. I’ve got not obligations, no responsibilities. Catching up with old friends is a good deal too. But somehow I want the rest of my life to arrive. That’s the secret to life: you can’t hurry it.

Okay so I’m not a big basketball fan. But I’ve just gotta mention this. Anything to do with a sports team from my hometown is worth mentioning. Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers on winning their championship this year. However, I’d like to point out that this makes the Houston Rockets the second best team in the NBA. Keeping my fingers crossed for a healthy 2009-2010 season. And seriously, let’s trade Tracy for Dwyane Wade or something. Even Lebron.

I used to be all hyped up about MGMT and stuff, but that was before they made it onto every 13 year old girl’s iPod. This is a good track, however. I had to personally message them on Myspace to get the link. It’s funky and smooth, and got good replay value.

There were reports on the interwebs that when asked, Santigold said she doesn’t even listen to R&B. In any event, here is a track featuring Young Jeezy.

Yao Ming looks so happy. He should be, but as Ron Artest puts very well, we still need to focus. Nobody else is looking for a round 1 victory (maybe the Bulls), and the Lakers are going to be a tough team. Oh and you can customize embedded Youtube videos? What is this, Myspace. Anyway, check out this press conference after Game 6’s 92-76 win over Portland. Ron Artest has come a long way. Rockets are looking good.

Some friends and I are trying to make a movie. If you own or know someone who owns any of the following, you can have a supporting part in the movie. You probably have to live in Houston for this.

• Camcorder (yes, I know we’re shit out of luck if we don’t get one of these)
• Sound equipment that we can borrow. Doesn’t need to be pro, but usable. If you happen to be one of the few people who just have a recording mic in their house, this is you!
• A girl who has an on-screen presence, you don’t have to be single but there will be a “date” scene. Absolutely no kissing or dirty stuff. Also, the movie will be a large time commitment.
• A car that can fit four or five people and drive to Hobby airport.

Do not hesitate to contact me! I’m available by AIM, email, and Facebook. Give me a message for further details. I can guarantee you’ll have fun (plus, one of the scenes is gonna be a party).

It’s gotten a little chilly here in Austin. It feels great, I can finally rock sweaters and scarves.

When a person is mad at someone else, and you know they’re mad, and even if you ask if they’re mad, they still say no. It definitely kills me inside. It’s stupid for me to ask, but I’m just dying on the inside even though I know what you’re gonna say. Maybe I just care too much. Maybe I’m just being a pussy again.

Not sure what else I want to talk about. Lots of comments on that last post, many thanks to those who commented.

I can’t wait for Thanksgiving break. Those of you in Houston, let’s do something! My Thanksgiving break isn’t too long, but I definitely want some hot pot. Well, I mean, most of all I want to see my family. My parents miss me dearly and I rarely stay home on the weekends I am in town. And if you’re wondering, yes, my mom reads this blog. She can’t understand much of it, so she bothers me about my blog posts every time I go back home.

I’ve got a calculus and physics test on the same week after I return from Thanksgiving break. Which is absolutely insane because I think I need an A on this test to even pass the class. This weekend was Longhorn Saturday, and I got asked to be a part of the student panel. Prospective students come from all over and visit UT, and one of the parts is a question and answer session for current students. It was really interesting to see that there were two or three people in the audience who were thinking of doing aerospace engineering. I was the only Asian on the panel, and I happened to be in engineering. Haha stereotypical, no? The audience asked a bunch of good questions, but this one person asked “About how many hours a week do you spend studying?” It’s a good question to ask, but not a good one to answer. So if you’re a prospective student, this is a no-holds-barred, not-endorsed-by-the-university answer: Little to none. We came up with the answer, “You study for the grade you want in the class,” which is a good answer because if you want an A you can work your ass off for it. Personally, I just cram my tests, so on an average week (like this one) I do little to no studying. But on weeks where I have one test (or like next next week where I have two), I’ll probably spend 20+ hours that week studying. If you were challenged in high school, and I mean really challenged, like AP and IB level type stuff, you’ll be fine in college. During the session, the words “typical UT student” was thrown around a couple times. My friend Archana later said, “No one’s college experience is the same as someone else’s, there is no typical student.” And that’s definitely how I’d describe my experience.

I stocked up on some food, I never realized how much I love Poptarts. Especially the ones where it’s 3 boxes for $5. I also got the Complete Sherlock Holmes on hardback… it’s been keeping me company lately. I love curling up in my blanket on a cold day and reading. No, I’m not sick or drunk, I just really like Sherlock Holmes!

Enjoy the song, those of you who have seen “Take The Lead” will recognize it. Till next time.

I haven’t gone out to a party in Austin in a really long time. I hardly ever go out.

So last night I was feeling in the mood. I get to the club around 11. I check out the place with Pat, and we discover that we know the bartender on the third floor! He went to our high school, but he couldn’t hook us up with drinks because the TABC was in this weekend.

So I’m on the viewing platform and there are only a few people on the dance floor. There is this one fobby looking girl dancing with this Asian guy. Not a surprising scene because it was TASA’s event that night. The surprising part was that she was gettin’ really freaky and this guy is so awkward. I can see that it’s probably his first or second time dancing with a girl. That girl was getting down, bent over and shit. I said out loud, “Does anyone see this?” To which the people next to me laughed.

Let’s pause for a moment. I am going to tell you a story. It’s a story of how I’m best friends with Jonathan Vigil and Chi-Che Ma. I think I was 16 at the time. We’re rolling in Jerry’s new Rav, thinking we’re really cool. We get to a red light, and we see this cute girl about to cross the street with this guy. I don’t even remember what she looked like, I don’t even think she was cute, actually. I’d say a 7. So we already pass her, taking the left turn onto Bellaire. We are already almost to Jerry’s house when we were like “…should we go back and try to holla?” Wherefore we made a U-turn and hauled ass back into Chinatown. We went through the Welcome parking lot looking into restaurants and stores, but nothing. We went back to the same red light where we first saw the couple. We make the left onto Bellaire for a second time, and just as we’re passing Welcome again, I spot her sitting at the Metro bus stop. We pull another U-turn and get into the far right lane. The light is red, and we’re RIGHT next to the bus stop. I roll down my window and I ask, “Hey is that your man?” Both of them looked at me and didn’t say anything. I shouted again, “Is that your boyfriend!” This time, he gave me the universal finger salute for “Fuck you.” We laugh and I roll up the window, and we drive off. We were such teenyboppers, but we’ll ride till we die, son. I told Vigil about how I would blog about this, and he said, “Didn’t you blog about it already? Like on Xanga?” I went and looked through my old posts… and I found it! I talked so weird, and this was three years after I had started my Xanga. Check it out!

Back to the club later that night, I spot that fobby couple again. By now the dancefloor is packed. Please keep in mind that I didn’t have anything to drink. I wish I did, I would have done it much sooner. I work my way towards her. By the time I’m practically grinding on her, I say “Hey is that your boyfriend?” For a second, everything stops, and in the midst of the entire club, I think of my best friends. After I said this, she immediately stops dancing. Stands up. Steps next to her boyfriend. To which he put his arm around her. Right now I’m totally expecting him to give me the finger. I’m not into the whole beef on the dancefloor thing, so I say to the guy “Dude, your girl is freaky as FUCK! You gotta get on that shit!” He laughed and said something back, but I didn’t hear or care. Mainly because he absolutely has no moves, and you don’t need moves to dance at a club…

This one little incident made me think of the bonds I have with my friends. Just doing random crazy stupid shit, actin’ a total fool. We’ve been the same clique since 6th grade plus or minus a few members, but we’re in different cities, but it’s still ride till we die.

By the way, check out the new song, it’s sick as hell. Give it a listen!
