wow i hadn’t had any time to write in my blog these past few days. here’s what happened…
july 24th, thursday – took my final for music appreciation class at 11:15am. and then went home. nothing much happened today.
july 25th, friday – took my final for psychology class at 9:30am. went home. then at like 7pm i went to kyle’s house with carroll, andrew, and doug. we hung out there all night… i helped carroll install windows xp on his brand new macbook. we played gunbound. i almost pulled an all nighter! but i went to sleep at around 7am and woke up at 9am.
july 26th, saturday – i walked home at like 10am from kyle’s house. at 1pm, i went to sports authority with my parents to buy a bike that i saw on the website. when we got there, i found out that they don’t sell the one i wanted… so i was pretty bummed because i was planning to ride the new bike today with kyle and doug and maybe carroll. anyway, i went home, bikeless. doug called me up at like 10pm, and he’s like, “me and andrew are riding our bikes outside your house right now.” what! ok! so i went and opened my garage and showed them my cool scooter and my bike from 5th grade that had no air in the tires. then doug called kyle to come to my house with a bike pump and he helped me pump my bike tires. and the four of us rode our bikes to (B) kyle’s house to drop off the bike pump, and then to 36th and irving- (C) carroll’s house.
when we got to carroll’s house, we just took some pictures of us… our bike gang! then we put our bikes in his garage because carroll had to deliver some stuff to a restaurant at taraval. we all rode in his van which only had a shotgun seat and no back seats. the back was filled with boxes and stuff because it was their delivery van. so after he delivered the stuff, we went to seniores pizza. doug, andrew, and kyle got a small pizza. after they ate, we went back to the van and doug called keizha and said we were outside her house. haha she thought we really were outside and told us to come in. so doug told her we’ll be there in 10 minutes. carroll drove to irving, and me and carroll each got a slice of pizza at irving pizza. and then we hung out at keizha’s place til 3:45am or something. after that, carroll drove us all back to his house to get our bikes. me, kyle, andrew, and doug rode back to kyle’s house. andrew had to drop off the bike he was using because it was teal’s bike and he took the 91bus home. me and doug rode back to our houses and i got home at like 5am. man riding my small 5th grade bike with only 1 speed is pretty difficult! i can’t wait to get a new bike!
july 27, sunday – i woke up at 10am and my parents drove me to 48th avenue and irving to see a bike that i saw on craigslist. it was $60 and i thought it was going to be good. but it turned out to be in bad shape with rust… next time i’ll know to ask about the condition before seeing it. after this, my whole family and i went to my grandma’s house to visit her. then we went to my uncle’s house because he said he has a bike that i can use. when i got there, i helped him put his new lcd tv on his wall mount. then he showed me his cool pretty cool bike. he’s going to buy some new pedals for it first and then he’ll let me borrow it for an indefinite amount of time… :] he’ll just ask for it back when he wants to use it. but i doubt he’ll need it anymore because he has 2 other bikes.
after that, my dad dropped me off at the children’s playground for the roosevelt reunion! i got there at 12:10pm with doug’s grill. i was surprised to see that there was some kind of indian festival going on in our spot that we’ve used before… we had to use a different spot, which was only like 50 meters away, so it wasn’t that bad. when i got there, i was the only one… richard was with big vic and nathan wong going to costco to buy food. they got to the park at like 2pm and there was only ~12 of us or something. we started cooking the food, more people came, and we had a good time. the best part is that we got to make a 15 person human pyramid! it took many tries, but we did it! you can watch the video here from richard. make sure you click ‘watch in high quality’! 😀 we finished at like 6pm. my dad came to pick me and george up. we stopped by doug’s house and i secretly put the grill back in his backyard for him. george came over to my house and we played some xbox 360… soul calibur 4 and halo 3. and he left my house around 10pm.
