Hi,
thanks for stopping by! If you've been to my page before, you'll
notice it looks different. I finally got some time in my
schedule to sit down and figure out this HTML stuff. If
you're a pro at coding and think it could be improved, or even if
you just have an opinion about my page, let me know. It'd be
MUCH appreciated. My roommate, Kyle is getting married in
June, and I promised I'd try to setup a website for him and his fiancé
so I need the tips. If you're here to read my journal entries,
scroll down now. The latest entries are at the bottom.
After a week or so (knowing me it'll be, or so) I'll move them to
my personal web page in an attempt to keep this page
uncluttered. The link's also at the bottom (of this
section).
"in Denial,
no my life's a trial..."
This
is a site I just recently
discovered through one of my fave web destinations - Epinions.com.
Slamming site with everything you need to know about anything.
Terrific for electronics geeks such as myself. But also great if you're
a movie geek, music geek, travel geek, food geek (yeah, I'm those too). Like I said, everything about anything. Go check it
out!
"...don't mind Admitting,
i feel like quitting this job..."
This page is a copy of my old AsianAvenue page.I`ve never really been a big part of any Asian communities, online
or off. Dunno why exactly. School, social life, and all the other
stuff you go through in your twenties - I guess it sucks up all
your time. I also have issues with joining groups - it feels a bit
close-minded to me - but that's a whole other can of worms. Anyhow, this
site caught my eyes and I figure it's about time I take part, or
at least be aware of, the ongoing topics and thoughts of the
Asian-American community. I don't know what I expect yet from this
site, but at least I hope to meet some cool people and learn some
new things both about myself and about others and things they're interested in. The thing that gets me up in the morning is the
fact that there is always something new to experience, someone new
to meet, and someplace new to go. Mark Twain said it best, "I
have never let my schooling get in the way of my education."
"...why can't you
see? this is a Fantasy..."
A quick bit about
myself...I'm in my last year of medical school.
Thank god. I never want to see another f***ing Scantron sheet as
long as I live. I've spent way too much time in school. College,
grad school, med school - it never seems to end. After all these
years, I'm finally getting my priorities straight, and school is
NOT at the top of the list. With a little luck and charm, after
graduation, I'll be going into emergency medicine. No TV jokes please.
Believe me, I've heard them ALL. Since I only interviewed in
NYC, it looks like
I'll be staying here.
"...i'm not denying,
i could be trying a little harder to Deal..."
New York City!!! It's the greatest city in the world no matter
how many of my SoCal classmates say otherwise. Yeah, sure you have
to sell your left nut just to pay one month's rent. But the women
are beautiful, the food is to die for, and psycho taxicab drivers
provide daily heart-pounding reminders of how thin the line is
between life and death....
"...my life is Absurd, i'm
living it upside-down..."

Okay, so I know I
didn't put up a Survivor summary thoughts this past week.
Not too much stuff to make fun of so I just left it as is.
ALTHOUGH, the show did make one think about karma. You gotta
wonder if Mike's falling into the fire was karmic payback for his
Lord of the Flies reenactment of the past few weeks. Friday
was chill. Went out to see O Brother Where Art Thou, which
Kyle and I thought was awesome. Visually very interesting,
and I loved the surreal sequences with the people going to the
water, the sirens, and the flood. So interesting, and very
daring of the Coen brothers, I think. I like film makers who
take risks. I might hate the result, but at least I'd
respect the film maker for having cajones.
Hot Dogs R Us -
So Rob came up on Sat, and we ate at F&B around the corner
because I saw some website recommending it for cheap eats.
Whaddya know?! It was really good!! A nice spin
on hot dogs and french fries. Highly recommended if you're
in the Chelsea area and you can't afford to eat at one of the
sushi/Italian restaurants there or you just need to put a little
something in the belly.
Gettin Jiggy
With It - It was Rob's b-day, so we went to Twilo on Sat
night! We got there at 11 pm, and it was very empty so
we just sat on the stairs and chatted for a few hours. So I
was trying to explain to Rob the how club dancing works when it
dawned on me. I told him to pretend he was a fruitcake
walking on hot coals. Perfect explanation. At 1 am, we
hit the bar and got smashed! Around that time too, EVERYONE
came in. Hahah, I love this place - what a freak show!
Transvestites and hot women everywhere. How do you beat
it??? This one guy had on sneakers with knee high white
socks, daisy dukes denim shorts, white wifebeaters, a 5 day old
unshaved beard, and makeup galore. The whole thing clashed
so damn much, I think it actually worked for him!!! 4 hours
later we saw him strutting around with only yellow smiley face
boxers on. Hahaha...I haven't been this entertained in a
long time... OMG it was crowded at 4 am. When the hell do
these people sleep?!! So anyways, we stayed and partied on
too. Ended up leaving just before 6 am and there was a line
of people coming in. Whoa. All in all, we had a blast!

Well, I FINALLY did
it. Hahah! My friends should find this mildly
amusing. Can't wait to go swimming now, and running.
Just in time for the warm weather too! Why did I do
it? Well, I got sick of spending money on gel and shampoo
and having to spend 10 minutes on each deciding which of the 100
brands I should buy. Hahaha...okay, that's not really the
reason... Rob, now
that I look like Billy Corgan, you must worship the ground I walk
on! I know you did anyways. Smooooooth as a baby's
bottom! Yeah! I may keep this for awhile...
BTW, how bout that new
woman on X-Files? Haven't decided if I like her or
not. But I hope she sticks around for at least a few more
episodes. Started anesthesiology today. I get to play
around with lots of mind-altering drugs. Please do not
e-mail me for a sample.
Haha...

And it snows ONE more
time. YES! It got bitter cold again so I'm glad that
at least there's snow to show for it. Hey, this might be a
good weekend to go snowboarding. Blah, I hope I shake this
cold I've had for the past couple of days before the
weekend. Okay, enough of that. It's Thursday!
You know what that means - Survivormania!!! Wow, what an
episode! I was dying of laughter as Kimmi and Alicia
threatened to rip each others heads off. Haha, you could
just see Michael cackling inside. Rodger and Elisabeth - now
there's an alliance I can root for. Unfortunately, I think
Rodger may be in severe danger without Kimmi there and Elisabeth's
loyalty may not be enough protection. They need to get one
more into their alliance. I think Nick would be good.
He seems easy to manipulate. >:D I was a little
relieved that Ogakor won the immunity contest. I have a
feeling it would have been the nail in the proverbial coffin if
they had lost. Instead they got something perhaps more
valuable than blankets - a morale booster. Too bad they're
still smelly. And I'm quite happy to say that Jerri looks to
be in real danger. No one really trusts here, and her
exhaustion and hunger is making it difficult for her to contain
her bitchiness. Well, she never really contained it
anyways. Kudos to MBP (Mark Burnett Productions) for another
highly entertaining episode. Anyhow, farewell Kimmi!
Thank gawd you and that big fat mouth of yours are gone. Now
maybe the Kucha tribe can hear themselves think.

Wow, the weather
finally got beautiful. Too bad I had to spend the morning in
the hospital working. Bleah...I went to the gym later in the
day. I had a kickass workout. See, I am NOT a
runner. It's just always been SOOOO painful for me.
However, the past few weeks, I've actually gotten my ass onto a
running machine and have been improving. Today, I first swam
for half an hour. Then I ran 6 miles at an 8 min/mile
pace! Okay, I know it's not incredibly fast for all you real
runners, but I never dreamed I'd even be able to go 5 miles.
And I actually felt good enough to go lift afterwards. Hah,
maybe I should get on a bike too and train for a triathalon.
Haha...still got a LOOONG ways to go. Spotted another celeb
at the gym: Jon Tenney! I think he's the guy who married
Teri Hatcher. He was also in that TV show, "Get
Real" that got cancelled last year. He was talking to
the head sales rep so I wonder if he's joining up.
Some pics below of some of my buddies. I need to setup my
scanner. I still haven't unpacked it from 7 months
ago. Sometimes my laziness amazes even me.
1) Kyle, me, and David
2) Melissa and Rob
Okay,
Rob's annoyed :). Get past my stupid descriptions and drop
him an e-mail here.
And yes, those of you who e-mailed me. He IS single.
