The normal day to day..has reached a level of boredom...of which is pointless to share. Thursday was cool...got to eat Sushi again...that was fun. Watched Godsend...stupid.

Today- got the call...its been recorded. The house is mine..yeah!! Going to Vegas this weekend for Auntie Luz's bday and housewarming...but will be back to pick up the keys on sunday. More to come later....I'm thinking of a bounce house for the house warming =)

The stress you feel...is only dependant on what you make of it.....

Today was more or less a good day...too bad it ended on a fucked up note. Since i'd rather not write back a nasty email to this person...instead i find myself venting a bit here. The exact details aren't necessary..as it pertains to something that should be a carefree past-time to me...that other people take too seriously. I only get pissed when people start thinking they can overstep bounds and do what my responsibilities are..... Grrr.....again...venting....

but just like that first line...i'm just gonna let it go (not without a response...i'll get to that)...but least i won't be writing back a response angry. Instead...i'm gonna come up with a fully thought out, logical response..and see where it goes from there. Ahh..ok...feeling better now.

As far as the majority of the day...it was great. I was a bit stressed as i drove into work today...as i remembered that my home loan is dependant on passing a "first time home buyer" interview. The unfortunate thing about it ...is that i stress easily on tests...and found myself cramming for it...as i was driving to work. Add to that, i actually had to take the phone call while i was in transit. Talk about a lot to think about......

but in the end...it turned all for the best. I passed the interview....and looks like everything is getting ready for funding. Its actually going earlier than planned. It may close as early as Friday...which means i could move in as soon as this weekend. Good times ahead...good times. =)

Back to work...
Sad to say..i think i need work really...to keep me to a schedule. this past weekend i had friday and monday off...but i didn't do anything but sleep. (well..it was like 100+ degrees...hella hot...dont' really want to do anything at that time.) Anyways...while sitting at Soaring over California on Monday...i decided I wanted to make a list of things i want to do. Once i put it together, I'll see who wants to hang out with me. (Stuff like hang-gliding, horseback riding, river rafting, trip to Europe). I've learned that once i make a list of things to do...i tend to get things accomplished better. So...expect the list and an update to this site soon.

on that note...i'd also like to welcome a group of new users to the blogging fold (ann, martin, ed). Once i do my site update, i'll add you guys as well (humm..whenever that gets done).

BTW..one of the first things on this list of things...will be to find a party that includes this. I've never big on girl on girl action..but the fact that this is between hella fine asian girls...i'd have to say...i'm entranced. Thanks to Mick for the material =p...and as i told you before..Jem is contagious.

hi....
i haven't talked to you in a long time....really...its been a while.
i've been spending sometime..thinking about the past...wondering what to do now in the present...and now what i'm looking for in the future.
I remember the times we spent together...the fun events...the awkward momements...the times of just silence.
To you the past....i'm..just gonna leave it there...... if something was truly meant to be...it will come again. I'll give it a shot...but i'm not gonna waste anymore time on it.
To you...the present....we're just gonna enjoy it now... Live the moment.
To you...the future....i got some plans for u. Looking forward to spending time with you. =p

Today i finally finished working on the school network. Picked up a lot of network learning in the process...and also come to realize that i do work too much =p. Rest of th eafternoon was spent chilln with Rico...watching the lakers and later the fight...it was nice to just sit back and chill. Started thinking about the house...and probably putting up a hammock on that area next to the garage. Also had to think about what i'm gonna do with Cube. He's pretty accustomated to the house already...but not sure if i want to leave him here. Guess i'll see what happens...

Escrow may close early....=)

Didn't do much today....mostly caught up on TV programming for the past two weeks....=p
Hung out with Mark B and Ed C for dinner...it was nice...and chill...and mostly time spent in the car driving in Hollywood traffic.

my thought provoking moment for the day was when i called the owners of the house. I decided to buy their couch, dining set, and some other items...and called to confirm that i did want it (as they were having a garage sale that day). The lady called back...and we started talking. She told me how she was glad I was the one buying the house...and all the memories stored there. Her parents had bought the house new when it was built in 1951. She remembered growing up in it...and how her father took the utmost care for it. (at this point...she was in tears). I thanked her for sharing and assured her that I would do the same.

Kinda made me think...about the things we do...and the things we leave behind...and what they mean to other people...

Actually got to sleep in today. Spent the day hanging out with Mark....pretty chill afternoon. Finished off everything i needed to do as far as the house, by signing the escrow and loan papers. Man...soo much money....

Ended the evening hanging with the APO mini-Reunion in Monterey Park. It was really nice seeing old faces again and catching up with people. Hung out in Monterey Park/Alhambra area....and found some cool places to chill

had to take out the down payment on the house today. Seeing most of your savings written out in one piece of paper can be rather alarming. May 5 is coming closer....excitement...and nervousness.

Well...least work has settled down..and getting better organized. I'm actually taking 2 days off of work...so chilln this weekend to clean up around here. Also hitting Disneyland on Mon. May write more later...

Things almost done at work...as well as almost done for the house. Now i need to do some stupid interview on buying a home. Looking to finish that real soon.

The move is just about over...with residual problems here and there. Boss is leaving to go back to Boston tomorrow...so live goes back to almost normal. Probably write more when i get the chance.

the craziness at work continues. once it settles...i'll write more. Also had a pretty good nite last nite with the ADT reunion....more on that as well.

Mostly done....

Today went ok...I kept finding things that i needed to follow up on. Unfortunately it was my boss that found it..which made me even more embarrassed. For the most part...things went very well for the move. It took most of the nite, but we got all the servers all set up and running. Still have to head back tomorrow to set up all the workstations and such.

Got to meet my assistant manager today. The meeting was pretty cool. I guess since my IT superiors pretty much leave me alone to manage the office...i've been very self-sufficient. Therefore visits from my bosses makes me a bit uneasy. The nice thing about it though is i work with really cool people.

spent most of the day packing...cuz this will be the weekend of the move. Why does everything have to happen now. (reason why i'm awake right now...is i'm missing the Kill Bill 2 premiere that my cousins are at due to this move...as well as the close call movie premiere). So...its the ADT reunion. I am looking forward to seeing some old school peeps there...especially those from my time there. I truly wished that this event would be spectacular =p, and still do...but i'm not feeling it right now. I guess i am hoping for a lot. I don't doubt that the chapter has put a lot of effort into it...but i can only wish there was more for me to look forward to. Shit....i'm giving up Laker Playoff Tickets to go....*shakes head*

There was a time in my life when APO took it over...i never said it did...and i truly don't believe that....but the fact of the matter is that it is true. I believe in the principles..and rather just talk about it....i live it......or more like...vice versa. I can't get away from APO...since the principles reflect me. I remember passing up events that i really wanted to go to...just cuz i felt i "needed" to go to banquets, conferences, etc. Those events were always fun since i got to see people again...but many a times...it was banquet over family, friends and/or other things.
The one thing I have learned though, is not to get overwhelmed again. Since giving up the section chair responsibility, i've been able to be more at ease and recollect the other aspects of my life. I concentrate more at work (mainly cuz of this move) and am reconnecting with my family and other friends. I still plan on being out to various events and such...but now more because i want to...as opposed to feeling like i have to.

eh..i was gonna cheat....and back-date blog...but oh well...I didn't really miss it...just didn't have enough energy to post.
Tues was ok...busy at work...but it ended being a really long nite. I thank Bren for coming out and helping me with my networking project. We were up all nite finishing off that network...but at least his help gave me the opportunity to sleep on wed.
Wed....after getting in at 2am...i had to be awake and moving by 7am. Got thru my meeting in pasadena and spent most of the day getting things ready for the move this weekend. Soo crazy. Signed more paperwork for the house..and walked thru it again. I sooo love it. Changed from cingular to T-mobile..and now got the phone workign. Still need to transfer all my numbers over.
Unfortunately..got stuck at Pasadena till 5. I really wanted to go to UCLA today for the meeting...being it would likely be my last time....but alas...didn't make it.
Instead...i ended up heading home...and honestly...passing out for the next few hours.

well...tomorrow is another day...and my other boss will be heading down....so ....lock down again. Can't wait for this weekend to be done.

at work for about 11 hours...damn tired. Hopefully this will all end soon (after this weekend). Damn...i need a vacation.

Happy Easter...
Today was good...got to catch up with family...and get in some good basketball games. It was actually pretty nice seeing everyone again. As much as some people have changed...many still stay the same. Anyways..kinda tired. Had somewhat of a reprive from the school job. Seems i have to re-add all the machines to the domain. Ugg...
Plus..this is the week of the move...so things are coming to a hilt. Damn..i need a vacation.

spent most of today...installing...reinstalling...installing....arrggg....like over 8 times...
When i finish this...gonna make a Clone of the HDD and hope to not have to do this again...
funny thing...not even tired...plus even got a work related phone call.

Today was cool...not as stressful. I've gotten a bunch of the packing done...and very pleased. Relatively quiet around here...but still good.

Saw Girl Next Door. I love it....and guess what ...Sung Hi Lee is in it too. But sorry...told u I'm a sucker for girlie movies....and this....Romance and Porn....how could you go wrong??? =p
