10/30: well um... i guess this is my last time updating before i leave. basically the plan is that i'll go to chem first (cuz i missed it wednesday already and im gonna miss next monday too), and then head back and grab my stuff and wait for my ride to the airport. if u wanna know the exact flight times to/from canada, check my schedule. and um... pleez pray for a safe flight and for the concerts to turn out great. o and also i heard its REALLY REALLY cold there... so hopefully i wont get sick. and um... yea i guess thats all. 4 days without calvin... isnt that great? hehe... dun miss me too much okee? and happy early halloween!!! hehe... byebye!!

10/29: midterms are OVER baby... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =). this is great... no more studying for a while. and even better... since im gonna miss class on friday, i had to finish my calc homework early and turn it in today, so i dun even have homework now =). well tonite was the lil halloween trick-or-treat thingy for the dorms, so i spent the afternoon doing decos for 2N. and surprisingly enough ours turned out quite well (some ppl went around all the other floors to check out theirs.. .and they still said ours was one of the best ones). out theme was a nightmare version of 'alice in wonderland'... and so i got to put my SF6 to use and remix a few of the movie songs so they're all scary. hehe... well the actual trick or treat wasnt all that great, cuz there were WAY less kids than expected, so it was all kinda quiet. but anyways, then the most incredible thing... a few minutes ago i jus got back from my THIRD DINNER tonight. haha... yupyup first i went to eat by myself while everyone else was finishing up the decos... and then shanon and diana asked doug and me to go eat with them so that was my 2nd dinner.. and when i got back sara asked if i wannted to go to crossroads with her and again i said yes. actually i only had a boba at crossroads.. but its a pretty big cup and took a while to drink. im still finishing it up rite now. hehe... o yea and u know the stoopidest thing today? i woke up this morning and it was 9:30 already! i swear my alarm did NOT go off... i asked david and he didnt hear it either... and its supposed to be so loud and annoying that its impossible to miss. so yea... i missed my first class today =(. owellz... but i gotta make sure it works right by friday, cuz i do NOT want to be late for canada!!! hehe... ok i think im gonna see if i can make it work rite now... so i'll stop writing now...

10/27: three main things on my mind rite now... first- the worship tour. yesterdays concert was really good as far as i could tell... i thought it was better than the first one, cuz everybody seemed a little bit more experienced and so we matched a lot better. and i was lucky enough to borrow a motif8, which seems to be just as good as a triton. well i still dun kno wut we're gonna do about the sp300... hopefully they're gonna get a new one thats just as good... i cnat wait to see it! hehe... so yea now we're takin a break during the week, then on friday morning we're flying to vancouver! hehe... actually only a few band members (plus staff) are gonna go; the rest of the crew will be recruited from canada. and my job there is keyboard AND piano (since josh cant make it), so from wut they told me, they're gonna stack the keyboard on the piano so i can play both at the same place. cant wait to see how thats gonna turn out! hehe... ok anyways the second thing on my mind - all the big fires in california, especially the san bernardino ones. it really didnt seem liek that big of a deal, until i went to UCCR yesterday and saw it myself on the way there... and it was REALLY REALLY SCARY. and wut worrys me most is that i know a lot of people living in the cities where some houses were already burned down, and i know a few that actually had to evacuate already. so yea... pleez join me and pray that the fire will stop spreading okee? =). anyways now the third thing - my calc midterm... its TOMORROW!! i know... it seems kinda crazy that after a full weekend of nonstop keyboard stuff, now im suddenly back at ucla and about to take another big test. honestly i dun think this one is gonna be as crazy as chem, prolly cuz i understand math a lot better. so i figured one day of studying (today) and maybe a little more tomorrow (my test is in the evening) should be enough. and so far it definitely seems enough. plus im tryin to finish this whole week's homework by wednesday, cuz im gonna be gone already on friday when it's due. studying in my dorm is much better now than before, cuz i finally brought in a FAN!!! so now my whole workspace is a LOT cooler than usual =). actually, for ur information, i'm only writing now cuz im tryin 2 kill time... im takin a break from studying and waiting for the music room to be free... so meanwhile im in the rieber lab with nothing better to do than write this for u to read. hehe... i think i've waited long enough so i'll go back and check on the room now... wish me luck on my midterm tomorrow kkz? bYe!

10/25: sooo... the long-awaited worship tour finally began. tonight was the first concert and it was sooo unbelievably awesome, at least for me =). yesterday i left school in the morning so i could join the 4-hour afternoon rehearsal. and then today we met at EFCLA at about 1PM to set up the stage and soundcheck and everything. and then we rehearsed for another couple hours then took a lil break before the program began. for me it was a totally new experience - its nothing like ordinary worship practice at church... the expectations are soo much higher, and it's more of a performance than a praise night. and yesterday during practice i found out that Passing On Mission (the organization sponsoring this tour) bought a new keyboard specially for this event. and it was.. *drumroll*... a KORG SP300!!! not exactly the Triton that i always wanted to have, but it still has the same Korg quality, which makes the whole expereience seem much more professional. the concert was about to start, and i felt um... really really strange. i was kinda scared, but not in the same way that i would be before my piano recitals. cuz this time i knew i was gonna be playing from beginning to end... and to be honest, even though i was nervous, i was much more excited =). so it was about half an hour before the concert began, and i went on stage jus to check if my keyboard's all set up and ready to play on. adn guess wut i found out. the machine had NO POWER. yupyup... the brand new sp300 just died!! so that gave me quite a bit of panicking... but luckily i found a couple spare Korgs sitting backstage (probably belonging to EFCLA), and so i took one one of them out and used it. it wasnt really a performance keyboard, so the quality wasn't nearly as good as the SP. but at least it helped me survive through the whole program, even though figuring out all the settings on the spot wasn't exactly what i intended to do. o yea and the strangest thing that happened - today during practice, i was randomly recruited to play the huge chinese drum for one of the songs. now for those of u who know me, u probably know that i'm not the type of personality to be associated with those big drums. but yea... they recruited me, and i agreed gladly. and seriously its soooo fun even though its hard and i still have a lot to learn. so yea... i guess i'll be doing this for the rest of the tour too =). anyways, the entire band decided to starve until after teh show, since we didn't have any time to go get dinner. so afterwards we helped clean up the church, then went to sunday cafe for a huge dinner =). and while we were eating, a little problem came up - josh, who was supposed to go to UCC-R with aunt amy's team tomorrow, already agreed to play for ernest's team at the same time. i dun know the full story, so im not gonna accuse anyone here. but anyways, guess who got drafted to go to UCCR in place of josh? yupyup... poor me. hehe... its gonna be very tiring (and HOT), but im sure it will be lotsa fun, especially since we only have about 20 minutes to practice (if we're lucky) before worship starts. so here's my schedule tomorrow - go to church (reality only), then pick up a keyboard for tomorrow night's concert, then pick up Choe and bring him to meet with everyone goign to UCCR, then go there and come back, then go to FCBC Walnut for tomorrow's rehearsal/concert, then come home, grab my stuff, and head back to UCLA. yea yea i kno... crazy schedule. but i guess its part of being a keyboardist, and so far i think im starting to like it =)

10/22: i got owned by my chem test... how great is that? my first college exam, and i screwed up sooo bad. hopefully scerri will curve it based on version, cuz there were two versions and from wut everybody said, the one i got was a LOT harder than the other one. anyways, for those of u who havent heard, i almost died last night/this morning. my original plan was to wake up half an hour earlier this morning and study. well at 3:30, i woke up in the middle of the night to find my entire head covered in blood. it was jus another one of my crazy bloody nose attacks (which i havent had in a very very long time), except it was REALLY bad this time... and since it was all over my face already i couldnt exactly get out of bed unless i want my carpet all bloody too. so yea... i jus stayed motionless for like half an hour until it finally stopped bleeding and everything started to dry. then i got up and cleaned myself off quietly, so i wouldnt wake david up. im sure he wouldnt want to wake up in the middle of the night and find his roommate covered in blood. so yea... took forever for me to clean myself up and get back in bed. and that pretty much messed up my sleep for the night, and also made me lose a lot of blood, whih really isnt good right before my exam. but u know the strangest thing? after all that bleeding, there wasn't a single drop of red on my bed, pillow, or blanket. it was soo weird... everything jus stayed on my face. but i guess its good, since nobody else had to see the mess. but i swear it was sooo traumatizing... i felt like i was one of those sick guys from cabin fever!!! haha... ok anyways then this morning - i woke up and found myself stuck in my bed and unable to get up. for some reason my back/butt was hurting soooooo badly and i literally couldnt get out of bed for a good 15 minutes. then it took another 10 minutes to finally bend down and put on my socks/shoes. so yea... there goes my study time. i figured breakfast was still more important, so i studied while i ate, then went straight to take the midterm. well i really dun wanna go into details about the test, but luckily i had my cool friends hana and marcus to talk to, and it made me feel a whole lot better =). so here i am now, back in my room, my butt still hurting like hell. and im really not in the mood to do any work, so im starting to download games. hhehe.. im downloading LFS again (on my laptop) and its gonna take an hour, so rite now im chatting with alex(lan) online and he's gonna send me super mario world for zsnes! haha... i luv that game sooo much, it jus never gets old =). and it should help kill a lot of time and a lot of stress. so yea... im gonna go play now! byebyee!

10/19: yesterday was um... another busy saturday. hehe... very busy but still very fun. morning: tutor steph on math. and theres a chance i mite soon start tutoring rebecca too! hehe anyways then i went to get a haircut, then went to the ucc carnival thinggy. it was um... much more successful than i thougght, even though it was simply WAY too hot. and the best thing is that everybody was sooo nice to me. i got there at lunchtime so i wanted to buy spicy chicken (tapioca express chicken!), and juliann told me where to get it. and geuss who was selling it... her mom and dad! and they decided to give me two packs for the price of one. so we (me, ken, juliann, melanie, and others that wandered back adn forth) settled under a lil playground thingy (where there's shade) and enjoyed our chicken. and as with all carnivals, the best time is always at the end, when the already-low prices start dropping like crazy. and the boba place started "selling" milk tea for FREE. haha... they jus had to get rid of it. so i had like 3 cups =). and i also got a free ice cream bar. and then in the afternoon (after the carnival ended) ucc had this lil special speaker program thingy for 3 hours, and i volunteered to help babysit. and guess who else was there... Betty!! hehe yupyup we meet again! and i also got meet dis gurl named rose who was also babysitting. so we entertained each other (and the kids) for the whole 3 hours... it was actually a lotta fun, except when the kids cried and said they needed wanted to find their mom and dad. o and someone came in with a little tiny cat that was soooooo cute its not even funny. all the kids were loud at first, and right when they saw the cat they jus magically shutted up. hehe... and me and betty were next to the counter talking, and all of the sudden a lil goldfish jumped out of the cup it was in and landed on the counter. it was soooo scary.. and it almost landed rite by the cat! hehe lucky fish =). and then babysitting finally ended and betty and rose both had to leave, so then i realized i was the only person left in charge of the whole education center place. isnt that great? haha and i didnt wanna stay too long so i jus moved all the pplz belonginggs out to the hallway and locked the doors. and then i went upstairs for the next event - worship practice wtih wilson's team! it was pretty cool, and alun broke a stick! hehe anyways then at night i went to cell at jasmins house. pretty much it was jus a game night, so we playd pictionary and it was sooo fun! =). and ken wu was there too, so afterwards we decided to make a lil trip to *drumroll* denise's house! well it was like 5 minutes away anyways, and her parents (surprisingly) didnt mind us there at all, even though it was like 11:30 already. and i bet she missed me sooo much, cuz its only been a week and she already wants me to visit again. hahaha j/k anywas so me and ken went there and we chilled for like a realli long time. and denise gave us a little lesson about um.... bras. haha, who knows, maybe the info will come in handy one day. then we looked thru denise's forever-thick stack of pictures. then um... well i guess the party kinda ended when my mom called and got sooooo mad cuz i was out so late. but seriou5ly it didnt seem all that late, cuz im too used to college life =/. being the mama's boy that i am *cougH*, i went home rite away. and then the situation was pretty much wut i expected - mom waiting for me to get home, then lecture. nothing very extreme though (trust me, it's been much worse)... and pretty much everything was settled peacefully =).
ok so that was yesterday... and now for today. david's parents drove david, me, and connie to ucla in teh evening. it was sooo scary, on Azusa there was this car in the middle of the street and it was ON FIRE... like literally the whoel engine and interior was burning so it was REALLY bad, and they pretty much blocked off the whole street. it totally felt like a movie scene except it was real... and i didnt see any pplz (besides cops) standing around, so hopefully the ppl in the car are ok *really worried*. anyways... so i returned to my dorm and unpacked by about 7:30... and my roommate and all my other 2N friends were gone to some unknown place (prolly dinner)... so i put up my usual away message hoping for someone to go eat dinner with so i wouldnt have to go alone. and then the most amazing thing happened... 30 seconds later my phoen rang, and it was connie! she had to go eat too, so suddenly *ding!* i didnt hafta eat by myself anymore! *soo happy* connie didnt have herr contacts on so she couldnt see well and i was kinda being her guide dog and reaidng all the soup labels for her. hehe... then we went to mike & dennis's room to study since midterms are coming up so soon its not even funny. some people have their frist test TOMORROW.. luckily mine's on wednesday, so i still have a lil time to study. but yea, wish me luck and pray for me okee? o yea and the bad thing is that i think im starting to get sick, so realyl pray that i'll be ok, cuz i really dun wanna be sick during midterms, and even more i cant be sick this weekend when the worship tour thingy starts. ok well its 11:41PM rite now and i guess im jus gonna go sleep first, cuz good sleep always helps when im sick, and it might actually give me time for breakfast tomorrow =). hehe so i'll stop writing and go brush my teeth now. bYe!!

10/16: monday was maria's 19th b-day!! so yesterday a buncha pplz (me, david, shanon, doug, peter, maria, kelly) went to eat at BJ's in westwood to celebrate. maria did the most hilarious thing ever... she wanted to add some of the hot powder thingy (wutever u call it... those red flakes that are really spicy), and the whole lid just opened up so her pizza was entirely coverred and we couldnt even tell wut flavor it was anymore! hehe o yea and believe me, our waitress was the nicest waitress in the world... she accidentally charged us extra for something, and at the end after we left, she came outside the restaurant to find us and gave us the money back!! isnt that crazy? hehe then we had a really long and tiring walk back up the hill, which was even more difficult cuz we just finished eating so much. well the problem for me was that i already spent all my money this week, so for dinner i was $7 short and had to borrow from david and shanon. but luckily i can pay them back today, cuz i jus got paid $14! =). yupyup... woke up at 8:30 today to go to my first CASSEL experiment. it was really fun... and its a realyl easy way to get paid. so yea.. for all u bruins who havent signed up, go sign up! hehe ok one last thign before i shut up - i kno a lot of pplz wanna do stuff during the weekends, and im soooo glad i get invited =). but the problem is... my weekend schedule (as the past few weeks have shown) can get pretty insane, and so i decided 2 put up a calender for weekend events to keep myself organized. so if u wanna see it, check my AIM profile. well its about time for me to go to class now, so i guess this is the end!

10/13: okee... im bak from class and during the short break i'm taking before moving on to studying, i'll finish writing wut i was gonna say yesterday! *crowd cheers* hehe sorry i suddenly decided to go to sleep... cuz debra asked me to call her and so i did and we talked for like a really long time and so when i got bak it was midnight already. so yea... anyways so here's wut happened at the j5 concert. first of all, for those of u who have seen their music videos, it's absolutely NO exaggeration of their energy on stage. they literally never run out of breath... and this is probably the most insane choreography i've ever seen, especially cuz they're all high schoolers. and it wasn't just a lil open house thing that i expected... it was a full stage with flashing lights and insane sound system and everything... o and the crowd cheered literally NONSTOP during the songs, so throughout the concert the enthusiasm never died out. and it was a full set... not jus a few random songs like i expected for an open house. so yea... those of u who didnt go REALYL missed out. hehe o yea and after the concert came time for AUTOGRAPHS =). i went early to try to get a spot in line but it still took about 45 minutes. and we couldn't take pics cuz that woudl slow down the line a lot more. but i waited anyways cuz this is liek the only time i'll ever get to meet jump5. actually i lined up TWICE, cuz first time i was gettin sumthin signed for my special friend who's sweet sixteen was yesterday, and then i was gettin sumthin else signed for myself. and i was talking with chris and brandon while they were signing my cd (2nd time in line), and suddenly they both had this surprised look, liek they suddenly realized its the second time i'm lining up. so i jus smiled and nodded. hehe anyways i was like one of the last ones in line, so i actualyl got to chill with the band for a lil after the autographing was over. no time for pix though, cuz all 5 of them were in separate places and i knew i really had to get home since my mom was waiting for me. i was already happy enough though =). so yea... dats about all i have to say about the concert. if u want more details then ask me for it. o yea and i did take a buncha pix during the concert, and they'll be online as soon as i have time. ok... time to go do chem homework now!

10/12: ok im bak! gosh i dunno who left that stupid voicemail but its like 30 seconds of static!! grr... owellz anyways back to the update. so last nite i got home from cell at a little before midnight and went online for a lil while. and kelley imed me, and signed off rite away, and for some strange reason i figured it was a good idea to give her a call, prolly cuz today's her birthday. gosh... i seriously didnt realize how long it's been since we really talked until i called her. we used to always talk on the phone for hours late at night until my mom made me go to sleep... and thats the reason i bought a phone for my room. but then we stopped talkin to each other and it was sooo sad... well anyways so i called her and we chatted until 2AM this morning until she wanted to go sleep. and i was like sooo happy, cuz seriou5ly i suddenly realized how much i missed our hour-long phone conversations, and i was so glad we got to talk on the phone again =). ok anyways then i went to sleep and a few hours later i woke up. and i went to church as usual. and then at 3 i went to this place in temple city to rehearse with a chinese worship band. for those of u who remember my entries in june, u mite recall me saying i was gonna go to canada, even though for some reason it never happened. well they postponed it cuz of SARS, and now that sars is pretty much over, the tour is back in action =). its gonna kick off in a couple weeks with two concerts in LA, then the week after that in canada. gosh... ive always wished i could tour with a band at least for a little while, and i cant believe i'm actually lucky enough to have this opportunity. hehe so yea... we rehearsed today and i had to leave early to get to west covina by 5 for *drumroll...* the jump5 concert!!!!
*takes a deep breath* ok so once again i must confess that i'm a jump5 fan. i guess its cuz they're a really unique branch of CCM, and also cuz i have a whole bunch of their merchandise. but seriou5ly... i listen to their cds a lot and i really like it =). and finally the day has come for me to see them live in concert. ok here's a comparison of what i thought it would be like vs. what it was actualyl like. from wut i heard, it was just Faith Community Church's "open house" event, nothing really big. then i saw the church and i was liek WHOA... its SOOOO HUGE!!! and i got there just in time before the program started. but luckily i went alone, so i still had a decent seat. and when i saw the crowd already inside, it was an even bigger WHOA than seeing the church itself. i swear there was at least 2000 people there. so the program began with worship held by the church. i really cant even describe the enthusiasm of the congregation... i guess the closest way i can say it is to take the best of UCC's praise nights and multiply that by 4 or 5. maybe its cuz half of the audience were jr high and below... but still those kids were not ashamed of anything they did and it was like energetic worship at its purest form... and i felt bad being the one that's afraid to jump up adn down and worship even though all the kids were doing it. well anyways then the part that everyone's been waiting for - jump5!!! but guess wut... its late at night already and i think i need to go sleep. so ur gonna hafta wait to hear about the concert. sorry!! hehe g2g sleep now byebye

10/12: i knew since a long time ago that this was gonna be a busy weekend... but i honestly had no idea it would be THIS crazy. actually its crazy in a good way, and i had so much fun its not even funny anymore =). alrite lemme start with yesterday. morning: i went to rowland in the morning to give betty the TI-83 plus that she bought from me for her friend. then when i got there, i found out that there was this huge yard sale thing going on, and so a buncha my friends were there. i jus stayed with them for a while, and the administrator people kept asking me to help carry stuff jus cuz i was one of betty's "hombre"s. hehehe... and then they wanted to go to the mall, but i had to get home cuz i had other stuff to do so i said i'll see if i can go. then i went home, just in time to get a call from ricky asking me to let him borrow a few of my "toys" (cars). so i packed them nicely (come on... im not gonna let a thousand bucks roll around and get screwed up) and brought them to ricky's house, then came bak home and called betty and told her i'll meet them at rowland again. and then me, betty, john, esther, and kat went to the mall to meet with yan, then we had lunch and went "shopping". haha i know.. its like my 3rd or 4th time actually goin shopping at the mall. typical shopping-with-gurls experience... taking forever at every store. hehe... and me and john (we didn't know each other before) kept each other compnay while the gurls went crazy over the clothes. they played this lil game where they all picked outfits for others to try on. very very interesting. hehe... and at papaya i ran into emily and jenny. gosh i cant believe jenny actually still remembers me since we haven't talked for like a few years. anyways then i had to leave early, cuz i told ken(wu) and denise i would meet them at denise's house as soon as possible. it was soo sad and im sure they all missed me sooo much. hehe so yea anyways i went to denise's house and um.. helped her with ehr essay. she showed me this korean music video thingy thats soooooo sad i almost cried. o yea and one of her dogs tried to attack me!!! evil Muffin! hehe but they other two are soooo cute =). anyways so i chilled there for the evening then went home for dinner, then to cellgroup. cell was really fun... except i still cant figure out the magic game thingy... i feel soo stupid!!! haha anyways then after cell me, juliann and christine came up with a new version of nina, julia and jasmin's favorite BEAVER song. it was sooo hilarious, we can't perform it without laughing in the middle. or at least i cant. hehe... wow someone jus left me a voicemail. so i guess i'll stop here so i can go listen to it. and yes there a LOT more to write about, so check bak in a few minutes =)

10/07: lotsa stuff to write about. first of all, i got my first letter at ucla!! thanks pokemon! *sooo happy* i luv the envelope! hehe... 2nd thing - my new remix is finished! and the song is... "Because of You" by 98 degrees!! yupyup... i made a dance mix of the song, so if u wanna hear it, ask me and i'll tell u where u can get it. as far as the mix itself, it's all pretty simple, but qualitywise its probably the best one i made so far =). and with so much free time in my dorm all day, im always open for new ideas on wut songs i can mix, so if u have any suggestions, feel free to lemme know! =). ok now for the last thing - this sunday (10/12) im gonna see jump5!! they're doing a free concert in west covina, and maybe i'll even get a chance to meet them afterwards. and yes, i admit i enjoy listening to disney music. believe me if ur really stressed, disney music helps cheer u up as long as u believe it will. i even blast j5 music on the car when im really stressed, and it always works. and now i get to see them live in concert! gosh im soo excited. hehe ok well i g2g study math now so i'll shtu up... bYe!

10/05: really interesting day - i returned to school at about 3, and diana came to say hi like the second i arrived. gosh duz she really miss me that much? hehe j/k anyways then connie IMed me since i had some stuff to deliver to her (from anna). so i told her that since i was bored, i woudl go drop it off at her room (delta). and it turned out i couldn't open the door with my ID, so i got locked outside for like forever, and i had to go to covel's computer lab to IM her and ask her to open the freakin door. hehe... she let me go in her room and even invited me to dinner =). we went to de neve to eat with nina, mandy, andrew, dennis, and michael. i didnt know the guys before but it was soo strange how we met. andrew and i were both locked outside the courtside door trying to go to nina's room, and when he said he would 'call his friend to have her open the door', i kinda knew he was talking about nina. so we introduced each other and everything... and then dennis - i cant believe this is true, but he knows hans! they're really good friends, and dennis and i only know each other's names through hans's xanga entries. hehe... and gosh we have so much in common its not even funny. he also plays piano, and wants to play for a band, and he would pursue a career in music if it wasn't for the financial sacrifice. and michael and i chose the same 'unique' dessert after dinner - root beer float! haha... hes the first person i met that also makes floats =). anyways then for the rest of the night we went to the lounge to study and do work and we all got soo much done its not even funny. hehe then i went bak and chilled in my room with david peter maria shanon and diana. and now its almost 1AM and i'm still online. hehe... my super cool sister carol let me borrow her headphones, so i can do DJ stuff at night without bugging david when hes sleeping. for those of u who haven't heard, i started a new remix! actually i finished it yesterday, except i suddenly feel like it can use some final touches. so yea.. i'll let u know when its finished so u can go listen to it =).

09/30: another very interesting pic that i took about half an hour ago...

09/27: wow... i had no idea today's agenda would be so packed. morning: went to steph(liang)'s house, cuz im her offical math tutor now! hehe... then went to worship practice for wilson's team. so all of u goin 2 UCC tomorrow: start looking foward to a totally awesome worship set with all fast songs! hehe... and then afternoon: the most surprising event. i went to the mall to watch movie with ken(wu) and denise! gosh i cant believe denise actually wants to see me again. hehe... but yea we had a really good time. we watched Cabin Fever and it was um... not too good. theres pretty much no plot at all, and its simply a bunch of excessively disgusting scenes that supposedly make the movie more interesting. so dun bother watching it unless u really love seeing deformed (and disconnected) human bodies. anyways then we went 2 the foodcourt for dinner then to chill at my house before cell. denise started listening to a bunch of chinese pop songs on my computer! haha.. o and shes sooo insane at playing piano! its not fair... i wish i still have lessons and time to practice every day cuz i really miss piano. hopefully i'll get a hold of the rieber music room pretty soon so i can play for fun. anyways believe it or not, its 2AM (sunday) rite now and some cellgroup pplz are still at my house! gosh... i wanna sleep! hehe... im jus upstairs in my room minding my own business rite now and im sooo tired! im waking up earlier in the weekends than for schooldays! isnt that weird? hehe anyways i think im gonna go shower so i'll end this entry here.

09/26: guess wut... im back at home!! hehe... home sweet home =). im in the middle of installing a buncha stuff on my laptop (photoshop, fruityloops, etc) so i can use them during school. so now that i have access to photoshop again, i finally get a chance to put up a couple pix from this week in the dorms. heres the first one:

09/25: quote from shanon last night: "you can't take my bruincard anymore. it's in my butt". haha... well guess wut. her bruincard is IN MY POCKET RIGHT NOW. haha... she has no clue i have it, and shes prolly not gonna find out until she has to go back to her room to sleep. *evil laugh* hehe anyways summer's offically over now, today was my first day of class. a quick wrap-up of this summer- even though its been really stressful at times, mostly i guess its been great. my online schedule thingy worked surprisingly well and it kept me sooo organized for teh last few months. im considering using it even now that school started. hehe... sooo wut exactly did i do today? morning - i slept in again as usual, then went down for lunch with david, then we went straight 2 our classes (both at 2PM). then we had another little stealing game with shanon and marijuana. for dinner i went to hedrick with the UCC@UCLA cell people and we planned out how our cell's gonna work. then i came back to my room and here i am now! hehe... well i guess das all i hafta say now. im gonna be back home tomorrow late late night, so dont miss me TOO much! hehe... ok i'll shut up now bYE!

09/24: its steal-from-shanon day!! yupyup... hehe it was soo fun! me and david went to her room to put in some more drinks we took at the boardwalk carnival thingy, and as usual she jus kinda let us stay in there. ok actually lemme rewind for a moment. last night: me david shanon and marijuana (haha her real name's marijana... but wuts the difference?) were chillin in our room, and marijana played a lil trick on shanon and left her bruincard on our door. so i noticed it and hid it, and gave it to david after she left. and david put it in his scanner and scanned it! so a few seconds later shanon ran back frantically searching for her ID, and it took her forever to see the huge scanned image on david's screen! and then 2 seconds later, she left her entire wallet (with bruincard) on david's bed and wandered away. so i took taht and hid it in my drawer, and it took her another forever to find it. and so she kinda got scared back to her room... and of course we all went with her. and when me and david left, we had the bruincard AGAIN. gosh she really needs to start payin attention to her surroundings. hehe... anyways so now that we all know of her un-carefulness (i cant think of the right word to use), me and david went back today for some more fun. so there was shanon sitting in her chair doin stuff on the computer. and meanwhile i lifted her backpack off the back of the chair, and she had NO IDEA it was gone until it was already out the door. and so i gave it bak and she went back to computer stuff. then i reached down IN her desk and took out the white-out (yes.. she was sitting right there) and again she didnt notice! haha... that was like 1/10 of all the stuff me and david did. ok now the biggest one. shanon went to the bathroom, and for some reason she trusted me and david to be alone in her room. and when she returned, her freakin MATTRESS was gone. haha... we put it in our own room, and she spent forever searching for it. ok well i think poor shanon's been tortured enough today, so we'll give her a break =). anyways other stuff that happened today - i jus came back from a really really fun night of card games. big2, spoons, BS, poker, etc... spoons was sooo insane. we had like 6 people, and a LOT of spoons (hey.. the food store down the hill was still open ;) ). first we played the regular way... then it started getting violent until we started throwing spoons at each other. we tried one game where all the spoons were scattered across the lounge, so once someone got 4-of-a-kind, everybody had to get up and run (and tackle others) to get the spoons. o yea and we put ALL the spoons aroudn the room, so we had to get as many as possible. hehe... sooo much fun. i seriously think we should gather all the rieber 2N/2S people and do a big game of spoons with multiple decks adn all the spoons in the middle. that will be sooooo fun. anybody with me on that idea? hehe... gosh its only midnight. sucks for all those ppl who have class tomorrow morning. me adn david dun start until 2PM =). so yea... another day to sleep in. gosh i cant believe i havent eaten breakfast a single day this week. but then again its rieber's fault they make breakfast end at 9, so pretty much nobody has time to go eat. ok i seriously should shut up now... but jus a couple more things. first of all, to all the UCC@UCLA people, we're having dinner together at hedrick tomorrow night. and to all those UCLA pplz who like RELIENT K, me and a bunch of people are going to the concert next wednesday night! its only like 10 minutes away from campus (on sunset blvd!). so if u wanna go, tell me (or Nina) ASAP cuz we need a headcount to get the tickets before they sell out. o yea and if u have a car and ur willing to drive some people, please o please let us know, because otherwise we're all takin da bus. hehe... ok anyways NOW its time for me to shut up. class starts tomorrow... wish me luck! hope i can kick off with a good start and not slack off since the first day. so yea... maybe i shouldnt sleep THAT late today. hehe... i guess i'll go now. bYe!

09/23: quick recap of everything that happened yesterday. lunch-one of the christian clubs were giving free in-n-out burgers, so me and david went to join them. and then we played team games (based on res hall) and the winning team got a pizza party at night. the rieber/hedrick team sooooo would have won except they forgot to count one of our points and so sproul won instead. but they kinda announced the time/location of the party in front of everyone, so i figured i mite as well go and join =). anyways... then the evening - everybody (freshies) went to the welcome program thingy then to the bbq dinner. then me and david got SMART and figured that since the stuff was all free, we might as well take some back and stock up our dorm room for future use. and so i left with a handful of fruit punches, and he left with half a dozen ice cream bars. so yea... we had to borrow our friends' freezer to keep them cold, even though we figured they're prolly gonna eat them all. hehe and then i wasnt satisfied with how many drinks i got, so i made another trip down with backpack and scooter =). and i came back with more... so now we have *drumroll....* 13 bottles of fruit punch in our room! hehe... then at night we had a bunch of meetings then we all went bak 2 our rooms. at midnite i got a call from eugenia (my sproul friend) reminding me the pizza party started already and asking if i wanna join. and she was sooo nice... she walked sooo far up the hill by herself jus to meet me and bring me to the apartment room they were all in. and so i joined their party... and i was like the only rieber person. hehe and at the end we played mafia with almost 40 people!!! it was so freakin insane... we had to kill people off two by two cuz otherwise the game would probably still be going on rite now. then i went bak 2 my room and i was sooo surprised david was still awake, since he already fell asleep before i left for da party. so yea... i was up til like 2:30. *yawn* but its like almost noon and i just woke up =). hehe well i guess thats all i have 2 say now. to all my nonbruin friends, i miss u soo much already. i'll be bak home friday nite... hope to see/talk 2 u sooon!! =)

09/22: soo... did i make everyone so worried by saying im not gonna be online for a week? hehe... well guess what. I LIED. i'm here in my dorm room and i'm still online, thanks to robert/catherine's dad who said he had an extra ethernet cable he could let me use. and my roommate david helped me set up everything so now it works! *soo happy* anyways if u want my dorm address jus IM or call and i'll tell u. ok so about my college life so far... last night was really really fun. i had nothing to do so i started walking down to westwood, and i called my friend marcus (from orientation) and we met by the theatre, and he introduced me to a bunch of his friends, and we wandered around the campus visiting some of our rooms. and then we went to thaos room for late-night movie. i felt kinda bad cuz when i got bak to my room it was so late and my roommate was already sleeping even though i didnt even meet him yet. but we got to meet this morning. he's a really cool guy... and he has a 350z!!! *sooo jealous* hehe and he's playin CS rite now while im writing this. well its almost lunch so i guess i should get goin.

09/20: believe it or not, here i am, going online in my own room. hehe... yupyup its my first time updating with my laptop! and andy let me borrow his router thingy so i can be online in my room! *soo happy* hehe anyways im jus letting everybody know that my summer is pretty much over. tomorrow i'm moving in to ucla at night. to clarify some things for you, the first week there is welcome week, so classes dont start until thursday or friday (i forgot... hehe). so maybe summer isnt over after all. but yea... unfortunately i dont have an extra ethernet cable, and my laptop duznt have a carrying case yet, so i cant really bring it with me to school yet. and that means im prolly not gonna be online at all next week. or maybe i'll be on a little, if i find time to go to the lab and use their computers. to all those ppl who talk to me online all the time, im gonna miss you A LOT. seriou5ly... i dun know how im gonna live a whole week without AIM. (dun worry i'll be back home friday night). so if you wanna talk 2 me, the best way is probably to call my cell. if ur reading this then most likely you already have my number. if not, ask around adn you'll probably get it eventually. my fone mite be off during the orientation programs and during class, so jus leave me a message, and i'll call as soon as i hear your message and have free time. haha gosh i sound like an answering machine. but yea thats all i have to say now. for those of u who are also moving in during these few days, i hope u have a great time. and i hope u hope i have a great time too =). hehe well i g2g now. ucla here i come! =)

09/19: ok once again, everythings settled. this time it BETTER BE RIGHT, and if they need one more freakin paper from me, im goin straight to the office without another word, and wont even TRY restraining myself. well anyways today was um... pretty insane but still very productive. my mom brought me early in the morning to ucla but the traffic was soooo freakin bad so it took forever to get there. then we finally made it and got to talk to the guy at the counter - he was really nice about everything, and helped me work everything out. ok so heres wut the last email from them said. "Please provide us with figures reflecting the net worth of the business and/or rental property." well WHAT DA **** DO THEY MEAN BY "FIGURES"!?!? do they want a paper? a signature? just a plain old number?? and today the guy told me that actually they already mailed out a form for me to fill out. well HOW DA HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!?!? but anyways, he was really nice and handed me another copy so i filled it out right there and turned it in. and i had him go in to talk to the lady in charge of papers to make sure EVERYTHING is there and NOTHING else is missing. so he said its all done, and he better be right. anyways so that already took way longer than expected, and i had to leave for troy at noon to meet lucy since its her b-day. well on the way back from ucla there was MORE traffic, plus some bastard rear-ended my mom's car. i was soooo freakin mad and i was almost gonna kill that guy. but he was a pretty old man and he kept apologizing, and luckily both cars (his xterra with a camping trailer and my moms sienna) were pretty much unharmed since they collided at the center of the bumper. so yea... we jus said ish ok and let it go. and then finally i got home and got my stuff ready and headed for troy right away. and there were three more freakin accidents on the 57 freeway just in the area between my house and troy. so even MORE freakin traffic. but at the end i still made it there just in time =). and lucy loved the present (or at least i hope she does) so it makes me feel really good =). anyways, one last thing before i shut up - on the way to troy when i was stuck in traffic, i saw something REALLY cool right next to me, and decided to put my new 256MB camera card to use. most of you car freaks might be amused by this:

09/18: a "brief" summary of today - i woke up at 6:30 (the earliest i ever got up all summer) to go meet at ken wu's house. then me him and his friend (now OUR friend) jay went to "visit" walnut high school. we kinda sneaked in and pretended we were students, and it helped keep us in there for a few periods. then we unfortunately ran into one of those GLCs or wutever they're called and so we got kicked out. it was pretty funny though... she made us go talk to a cop, and the cop kept telling us if we tresspass again then we'll go to jail. and he made us sign this lil paper that says we were caught once and wont do it again. but he didnt even ask us for our names!!! haha... so we jus "signed" it *cough* and went to applebees for lunch =). then i got to meet ken's friend denise and we all went to her house to watch this really hilarious video from her b-day party. to summarize denise's personality in two words - Excessively Curious. yupyup... jay shared some of his "experiences" and she jus kept asking and asking and asking... anyways then we went to jay's super big house to hang out for a lil while. we talked about all these good ways to do pranks (a typical type of conversation at troy! hehe) and it was soooo funny! then ken brought me bak 2 his house then i went bak home. anyways... then at nite ken and andy came over to test out the wireless internet thingy on my laptop. they hooked up that blinking box thingy... wutever its called... and now i can walk around the house and stay online! actually andy let me borrow his for now (thanx sooo much!) so i can use it until i go to college. but i'll be buying my own pretty soon, cuz then i'll be able to go online in my room! *sooo happy* anyways then later at night i guess all the fun kinda turned around. i find it hard to believe this even as i say it, but i jus got a notice from financial aid, and they need ANOTHER f***in document from me. wut da hell is wrong with them??? again for those of u who didn't read the last time i wrote about financial aid, this is the THIRD TIME they made me send more papers, after telling me each time that everything is complete already. so anyways... tomorrow morning my moms gonna take me to the office AGAIN to get things settled. actualyl she wanted me to go myself, but i insisted that she drives, to avoid the increasing temptation of me driving like a madman and/or me marching into the office with weapons. seriou5ly... i will sooo do that if i go by myself. and i highly doubt i'll make it back in one piece. but tomorrow's lucy's b-day so i dun want anything bad to happen to me since im supposed 2 meet her at lunch =). so yea... its like midnight rite now and im way too stressed out to sleep. i know that if i try sleeping now, i'll be in bed another hour or two and still not fall asleep. so i mite as well stay online and chat the night away until im so tired i cant stand it anymore. and besides im helping betty with her essay, so it makes the day seem much more productive. hehe... anyways i guess thats enough rambling for now. i'll update again next time (if im still alive after tomorrow, that is), and hopefully everythings gonna work out well, or else i will literally go insane.

09/16: ok im so happy i just cant resist it anymore. heres some pix of my new baby!

09/16: finally - NEW PIX! hehe... i jus added pix from RHCCC's coffeehouse (waaaaay back in june!), harvest crusade, and power 2 change! so go take a look at them. o yea and geuss wut... i got my new baby today! but u prolly dun know wut im talkin about... so guess ur gonna hafta wait until i decide to post more info! =)

09/15: hmm... i feel so bad now cuz i didnt get a chance to write about all the good stuff that happened last week. so heres wut happened: on wednesday i went to visit betty at the library! gosh shes like THE most popular person there, and pretty much everyone there knows her! haha... o yea and we went to get boba! but she didnt pay 4 me so she still owes me 20 bobas =). and then thursday morning i found out that the english teacher for my mom's class will be in the computer room all afternoon so i wont get a chance to go online until night. so i called hans and we went to hang out again - at TROY!! haha... then we went to play chess again. and the three games we played were REALLY weird. on teh first one i was jus totally out of it, and i moved my queen right into his horse and she got eaten. and then i lost like all my other good pieces, so it didnt take long for me to get smoked. and then the next game hans started getting weaker so i beat him.. and the third game he got even weaker so he surrendered halfway thru the game! hehe... anyways then after he went home, i figured if i went home i had nothing to do anyways, so i went BACK TO TROY just in time as school ended. and i was sitting by myself on a bench when suddenly MR KNOX opened the door adn appeared right in front of me. and guess wut... he got a new biKE!!! he said the yellow one fell apart, so now he got a red one! hehe.. and then guess who i saw after mr knox left. LUCY!! poor her... she was stranded by herself after school cuz her parents didnt pick her up for some weird reason. she asked me where the payphone was and i told her, then she jus ran off... and i chased her all the way across the campus before getting a chance to tell her that she could use my cell. hehe... and it turend out her parents were at a church meeting or sumthin, so at the end her poor friend cathy (*ahem* hehe) brought her home. anyways... then in the afternoon i went to visit betty again. but she forgot to bring the magazine she was gonna give me! *sniff* owellz i'll jus assume she did that on purpose so i will have to go visit AGAIN. hehe ok and then saturday: rite when i woke up, my mom told me we were gonna go have lunch with the MAYOR OF WALNUT. isnt that cool?? hehe... i got to meet him and we talked for a little bit. it was really really fun. and then cellgroup at night was great too - i did worship but i messed up soo badly cuz i wasnt used to keyboards without pedals. but at least alex lemme use his good keyboard, so i didnt have to take out my $20 casio thats almost falling apart. ok i think i wrote enough for now. so guess i'll stop here. gosh.. i cant believe it, ONE WEEK LEFT and i'm going to ucla!! *sooo scared* hehe... wish me luck there okee? =)

09/12: case settled. everything's good now, or at least that's what they tell me. so yea... i woke up 3 hours earlier than usual to march into the financial aid office and have a talk with them. at first the counter lady said the exact same thing they told me on the emails (that they sent the papers back to me for signatures), so it took a little more attitude to finally pursuade her that i already handed everything in. so she left to go look for it, and like 10 minutes later she came back and told me that the papers had been 'misplaced', and that she found them all, and nothing is missing. ok, so that part is done. and then the next problem - since it took them THIS LONG to find my verification forms, and its still gonna take another week or so for them to process it, the money won't come to me in time for the first tuition payment. luckily my mom said she's able to pay for it first, so i guess i'm still ok. so yea... it was definitely worth the couple hours being stuck in traffic. i also asked if the late forms will result in any loss of money, and they said no. and it BETTER be a no, or i guess im gonna hafta go there again. so yea, now im back at home and really happy. and the moral of the story? never call or email financial aid and think ur gonna get any help from them, cuz you'll soon find out ur wrong. hehe...

09/11: its been a wonderful week, but i really dun have the heart to write about it all rite now. first of all, some of u know i've been having a LOT of problems with ucla's financial aid... and by now its already at a point where i can't stand it anymore. tomorrow morning i'm going down to their office to make sure everything gets settled. pleez pray that i'll be successful. sooo exactly wut happened? well... after submitting my financial aid forms, they decided to make me fill out ANOTHER form and send it to them ("verification" forms). the decision was made in april, and THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME ABOUT IT. i didnt know until JULY when i was on my ucla account looking for orientation info. so yea... i sent the form rite away. the directions were um... crap, to say the least. it was extremely un-professional (sooo many typos/errors, very unclear) and so i jus did my best and sent in the forms. a week later - still no reply. so i called them to see wuts going on. and then they tell me that they already sent my entire set of forms back to me, since it was missing signatures (even though it was THEIR FAULT they didnt tell me where to sign). so when i got it back in the mail, i called them and had them go over it with me step by step until everything was done. during orientation, i went to the office and handed them the papers in person, and the lady at the counter looked over it and confirmed that nothing else was missing. ONE MONTH LATER.... my financial aid status hasn't changed at all. and so i've been trying like crazy to call them / email them. but it never worked, and nobody ever replied until a couple days ago (on email). and the response was extremely depressing... the person in charge of answering emails is simply an idiot, i must admit. in my email i clearly stated my name and my ID# so they could check my records. and the reply they sent? "Name and id?" so yea... i sent another email with my name and my ID. and their next reply? "Verification sent back to you for signature. We have not received your and parents' tax forms/returns." wut da heck!?!?!?!?!? so yea... apparently whoever took my papers never even filed them properly, and there's a serious miscommunication in their office. and from my point of view, whether or not this gets through makes a difference of NINETEEN THOUSAND FREAKIN BUCKS. so yea... im not jus gonna let this slip away. if the email lady is stupid then screw her... im goin 2 the office to get it settled in person. pleez wish me luck and pleez pray for me. thanx.

09/07: forgot 2 mention this yesterday, but i got my car bak and so far it has no problems =). and the best thing is that it was STILL the starter's problem, and so i got it fixed with no extra charge =). and now for the not-so-happy news: yesterday at the beach i apparently made a huge mistake by forgetting to put sunblock on my legs, and they got burned sooo badly. the skin isnt peeling or anything, but its just realyl really red and realyl really dry (or as Hans puts it... like a lobster!! hahaha) so yea... it hurts like crazy when i try to bend my leg too much or do anything that touches the burnt place. when i woke up this morning it literally took me 10 minutes to be able to stand up without falling in pain. but yea... i did a LOT of walking today, so now i guess its a lot better already. soo u mite be wondering why i did so much walking. well after church i spent the entire afternoon/evening with Jeff(ho) Anna and Karin!! first we met at kingswood for lunch. it was um... a bit on the expensive side (at least for me), but definitely worth it. the food was really really good even though they could have given me a bit more than TWO scallops. and then we went to bananana bay so anna/karin could buy drinks, and meanwhile jeff told me to get in his car, then he drove off!! haha... we made a surprise visit to Marvin's new house (1 minute away from banana bay). its not a new house or anything, but the inside looks soooo new!! haha... so yea me jeff and him jus stayed there until karin called to ask wehre we were. so poor jeff had to go bak to Bananana bay to pick her and anna up. then we all went 2 linens n things to look at college-size bedsheets cuz karin needed to buy it for her dorm. o yea, and we were bored when we first got to the mall so we jumped into one of those lil 5-minute photo booths. its like impossible to fit 4 pplz in there so we didnt expect anything really good to come out. but i think its good enough for me to scan and post here. so take a look and hope ul ike it! (by the way i re-arranged the pix horizontally so they fit better on this page).

09/06: guess wut... i jus got bak from the beach!!! haha... yupyup i went kayaking with troy friends (anna, karin, brandon, ervin)! and it was sooo fun! the event was held by some club thingy, and so i got to meet a bunch of cool pplz. and the beach place was really cool too... its like a really rich neighborhood, but instead of only garages they all have docks for their boats. so the lil strip of ocean that we kayaked in was pretty much a street for them. and there was a starbucks around there somewhere except most ppl didnt make it cuz it was too far. anna and karin went bak to the beach to get money for starbucks, and meanwhile i was waiting for them, so i slept on my kayak in the middle of the ocean. and then i suddenly woke up cuz I HIT A WALL!! grr... stupid wind. anyways at the end anna and karin were soo tired they had another guy tie their boats together and pull them bak in! haha... o yea and karin had her camera, so we did take some pix. hopefully she'll let me borrow the pix so i can scan them (i havent even asked her yet so i dunno... hehe). anyways... i jus got home and showered and now i gotta clean the house, cuz cellgroup's at my house tonite! =)

09/05: ok now for the rest of wut i was gonna say... auto mechanics drive me insane!! last week i went to get the starter checked, and after already spending almost 2 benjamins, the guy told me that he changed the starter but theres still a couple other problems, so he told me to go bak to get those checked. but he said that even with the other problems, the car should have no problem starting. and guess wut happened on wednesday when i was at the post office. THE CAR WOULDNT START!!! so yea... i was kinda going crazy, and today i finally sent it back to get it checked. if the mechanic charges any more money i will soooooo go insane!! anyways, im getting my car bak 2morrow morning, but for now i'll enjoy my life as a soccer mom (with my mom's sienna)! =)

09/05: so yea... some of u heard i was gonan visit troy with Hans. das exactly wut i did yesterday =). we had all the details planned out already- problem 1: parking (we dun have permits). solution: meet @ starbucks parking lot and ride scooters to Troy. yupyup... i cant believe it but it was sooo freakin fun. and i needed the practice before college anyways. problem 2: administration people were wandering around near the front gate. solution: scooter around and enter thru the back. hehe... arent we sooo smart? =) anyways so we went in about half an hour before lunch and jus wandered around, successfully avoiding elsa & bridget at all times. we got to say hi to mrs. varieur who happened to be walking rite past us on her way back to her classroom. then during lunch was the funniest part - we sat at a random table at the cafeteria and pretended we were students. and a bunch of freshmen gurls came (probably cuz it was their table) and one of them was like 'hey are u guys freshmen too?' and so we said yea... then we told them we're freshmen IN COLLEGE. hahaha... they were sooo confused and didnt know why da hailstorm we were back to visit. then we went to career center area where we used to hang out for lunch everyday. i got to talk 2 joy and lucy there and also saw catherine. o yea and i found out the stupidest thing about troy. after i graduated, they gave my locker to someone else, with the SAME COMBO. i tried opening it and it worked! haha... anyways then we laughed at everyone who had to go to class when the bell rang and then we went to tapioca express and del taco for our own lunch. of course, we played chess again =). and the result? STALEMATE! haha... we both had our kings left and thats it! such a strange game. anyways then after lunch we were bored again, so we decided to go back into troy just in time before school ended. and we jus sat there and talked to a buncha ppl we know that passed by until we left to go home. very very fun expereince... we mite even do it again sometime! hehe... anyways then the afternoon - nuthin big happened except cleaning my room. evening - not too happy, mainly cuz adelphia was being a AGAIN. so yea... sent them my 4th email (i still havent got any reply for the first 3). then luckily i got a call from ken(yeh) saying he could come over to help me check out laptops. i was sooo happy.. cuz i REALLY needed sumone to keep me company before i go insane over my computer. by the way, ken is also one of those super cool people who constantly check this page for updates! hehe... so yea... he read my entry about laptops and emailed me rite away and agreed to help. thanx sooo much! =). ok i have more to say but i'll take a little break now
