alright, so i know that my blogs have been super emo and kinda depressing as of late (life hasn't been kind to me, ya know?) but this one will stray from the pack, promise. this story was amusing at the time it happened, so maybe it will translate well in blogland. so, on my way back up from SD this past weekend, swan and i were listening to the delilah show on KYXY 96.5 (kinda like a KOST

troubled thoughts have forced me on here to entertain the internet world with my random thoughts (and by entertain i mean... well, something other than entertain). i find it best to type while listening to music. today, the choice is yiruma (piano). i think it helps with fluidity (or maybe not?) in my case, my mood ebbs and flows just as the notes flow into melodies, instilling thoughts and

i was sitting at my computer the other day (what's new eh?) and i thought to myself, whoa. my life has seemingly lost all meaning (weird right?). i have been stripped of everything familiar, stable, enjoyable...whatever (or so it seems). sometimes, i really do feel like im just going through my days, aimlessly. there is no school to make me feel like a student- studying, stress and all; no

it's one of those moments. the moments that you dread. the moments that cause life to just stop. and hang...at a standstill. its in this moment where the feeling of loneliness creeps over you. and against everything that's going on, you feel as though you have no one. absolutely no one. the irony is that your friends and family who love, care for and support you are doing just that, and even more

if i had a penny for every time i've heard that statement, i think i would almost have a dollar (: but really, i think theres much truth to that saying. granted sometimes, it is seriously the last thing you want to hear and at other time it feels as though there is no way in hell that theres any truth to it. in my own experience of super shitty events, things always seem to work out in the end so

so in my attempts to procrastinate as much as possible in studying (what's new, right?), i spent some time perusing through some of my old blog entries. i've had some interesting things rolling around in my head in the past. case in point:February 5, 2006| life. it is what it is. |When we collide we lose ourselves.When we collide we break in two,And as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we

a friend's response to my comment about how hapas tend to lean more to the extremes in attractiveness (i.e. either gorgeous or troll status and very little in between):i guess if you're good looking enough to attract someone from a different race (b/c usually races stick together), then you might have a hot baby.if you're ugly enough that nobody in your race wants you, and you're forced to marry

strange. i'm not sure what it is, but life feels a bit bland at the moment... perhaps it's the post-vacation blues. the realization that a week of fun in the sun sand and sea of cozumel was just that--a week-- ending with the inevitable return to the daily grind in smell-a. maybe its the lack of climbing. my life used to (almost completely) revolve around climbing and now that i am unable to do

Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."life is definitely meant to be lived...and by lived, i mean LIVED (with capital letters). trying to find the balance of everything..

its amazing how fast life just sneaks by you. ppl always say hey, live a little, life is short. no sir....it is in fact the longest thing that we will ever do. live. but the time in which we spend doing things always seems short eh? esp if its something that we enjoy. so i guess that's really what ppl mean. in view of all the things we would like to try, accomplish, conquer...our time is indeed

JAKL | julia amanda katy lindawow. its been almost 6 years since the 4 of us have gotten together. i really missed these girls! it was very cool to finally meet up with my hs buddies... eat, drink, laugh, take a trip down memory lane, and catch up on life's happenings. its funny how even tho its been so long, you can almost pick up right where you left off and everything still feels familiar.

i had one of those "laughing so much my cheeks and abs hurt" moments earlier today so i decided to share it with all my faithful readers (all 3 of you) :Dso vinh was taking a lil trip to costco today and asked if i needed anything. i named off the usual food items but also requested a swimsuit- one piece, speedo, black or navy, size 4 (i currently have a similar one from costco thats slightly too

so i made a last minute decision to go on a baja surf trip this past weekend. go me, it was a good choice. sometimes i wonder why i even waffle over decisions like this. everytime...it never fails- in the end, i really dont understand why i even hesitated in the first place. i get to leave this mess of a busy city/school/work, enjoy the company of amazing people, and most importantly, i return

its been a rough past week or two...on the outside, things are normal but the activities inside my head/body are draining me. its weird because nothing's really different. maybe a few less hours of sleep, a lil more stress from exams...but i still have my routine. i go to work, school, gym, play bball, eat, study...all the sort, but its like i have this layer of ick on me that i just can't shake.

Epic...The dictionary describes it as "…surpassing the usual or ordinary, particularly in scope or size…" Epic. In the climbing world, this simple 4-letter word describes that well planned climb turned grueling adventure of lost gear, loose rock, getting off route, nightfall, accidents, and misadventure a plenty. An adventure where everything seems to go wrong...but one that turns out well in the

wow. what an incredible game! despite a crazy poor performance for about 37 minutes of the game, the bruins pulled through. man, it was surreal. one second, we were playing poker watching the game from afar and the next second we were all in front of the tv screaming, cheering, praying...*deep breath* elite eight baby!! let's go bruins...all the way!

When we collide we lose ourselves.When we collide we break in two,And as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,It's a hard mistake.When we collide,We break.-dishwalla-its amazing sometimes how we forget about the influence we have on other people and in turn, how much of an impact other's words and actions have on our own lives. life is like a huge tapestry with threads of people

it's funny how, in life, the negative always seems to jump out at you more than the positive. im not saying that you only focus on the negative or you take things for granted or undervalue/overlook the positive...its just that bad things make a bigger impact. it hits you harder, the effects are overwhelming, you think about them longer, it sends your mind into a frenzy with thoughts of why me?

sometimes i forget how much i like playing basketball. i always say im gonna quit to avoid finger/hand injuries that would be detrimental to my climbing, but then a tournament rolls around and i am reminded of why i keep playing. ah, the joys of playing defense, reading players, sprinting, cutting, driving, taking jumpshots, cheering, missing layups :P, diving for loose balls, gym burns, bruises.

from an article off a friend's profile..."Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become

(: ah...what to blog about *drums fingers on desk* oh, i can blog about my....weekend, which was quite eventful. i was (and still kinda am) under the weather (i would like to blame swan for getting me sick-- *evil glare*) i was just sitting around saturday watching tv and at the last minute, decided to go to the UCLA vs OSU football game. It was really fun and

i miss climbing.i miss the company.i miss bishop...i miss sleeping on crashpads by a trickling creek and waking up under a clear, bright, open sky to the sounds of the guitar, bongos, and the voices of tony and pouya singing dispatch. i miss the air. the view. the mountains. the boulders. I miss eating schat's chilli cheese bread in the shade while talking shit to jose. I miss the boys going

• so i was taking my first exam last week in my kinesiology class and something happened that reminded me of what a freakshow i am sometimes: i read a question, looked through all my options (it was a MC test) and picked the correct answer. sounds like normal test taking so far eh? BUT, then i was able to visualize the exact location of the sentence that this answer could be found in the text.

so someone remind me again...why do i live and work in LA?honestly, sometimes i think the answer to that question is one concerning convenience, rather than desire. i graduated from UCLA and still live near campus, conveniently allowing me easy access to the gym and enabling me to play IM sports still. i conveniently got hired full time from the work study job i had as a student. all my friends

Mr. A-ZThe sophomore album of the talented Mr. Jason Mraz came out yesterday and i wasted no time in going out to buy it. I went to Best Buy around the time it opened and the album wasnt even on the shelf yet, haha. I spent the rest of the day listening to the album, soaking up the music like a sponge. I like it (: some of the songs take a lil getting used to but overall, a great compilation of

so, i have had quite a bit of concern expressed by ppl after my last blog (not the shopping cart one) e.g. stu: *grabs my head with both hands* "you need some excitement in your life!" i assure you all that i am not depressed (i knew i should have put a disclaimer on that entry, haha) i am just...in a funk (: i guess thats the best way to describe it. we all have those days. i know this. and my

random event that i thought i would share.so last night in my failed attempt to boycott the gym/exercising (yeah...imagine that), i decided to go for a run. i always kid around in my away msgs saying..."lets hope i dont get woman-napped" or something of the sort, but little did i know i had more things to worry about! so im joggin along santa monica blvd and out of nowhere this bum tries to run

i was recently looking at some old pictures from a couple of years back and it was very weird. at first it made me smile. and laugh. but then it left me very nostalgic. very pensive. almost sad. a part of me ached to be that person again. it just seemed like i was a happier and better person back then. i think you could see it in my eyes. eyes convey emotions well. i was in the car with swan and

I have returned from Squamish...yay! and what do i have to say about it....hmm, it was an adventure. beautiful rainforest. cool boulders. lotsa climbing (loooong days- sunrise 5am, sunset 930pm). fun...but not spectacular. for some reason, my excitement and motivation levels were a bit low the entire trip. im not sure why i wasnt crazy psyched about the climbing there (i mean...it is squamish),

random ramblingsweekends are rad- i went to yosemite this past weekend on a climbing trip. that place is so amazingly beautiful. i easily found myself at peace out there. i think getting away is good for the soul. it was my first experience with trad climbing and also my first time doing a crack climb. We got on a 5-star 5.10a crack called Reed's Pinnacle (Direct). Only did the first two pitches
