Month: August 2008

woke up at 7am for school today! my first class was physics at 8am, then political science at 9am with kyle and andrew, and finally calculus II at 10am. after calculus ended at 11am, i went to the psychology class i had during the summer because i wanted to try to sell my book to someone there. wayland was sitting outside the classroom, waiting for his class to start at 12! then i saw keizha and lynna standing in the doorway of the crowded classroom! i waited with wayland til it was time for his class, and then andrew came out of that class! i just ended up following andrew upstairs because he wanted to add a history class with doug. when doug came, he told us about getting his ccsf photo id card! i decided to get one too, so i left the history class and started walking toward the secret building where the photos are taken. carroll then called me because he had a 1 hour gap… i met up with him and we both went to get our new photo student ids. we went to vikings to get lunch afterwards and i walked him back to his 1pm class. i just walked around the campus by myself til it was 2pm… that’s when doug, andrew, and carroll got off class.

i went to the bus stop with doug and andrew to wait for carroll to pick us up. when he came, he had someone in his car- stephanie! the 5 of us went to stonestown. we ate at mcdonalds and then went to borders for an hour or two. ok so we were sitting in an aisle in a 2×2 square reading some books, and the employee said we were blocking the aisle… he said we should sit against the same bookshelf in a line… so we listened and we didn’t block the way anymore. he also told the people in the next aisle the same thing… but they just stayed there and didn’t move. so the guy comes back a few minutes later and yells at them again. and those people still sat there and blocked the whole aisle. the employee comes back a 3rd time and says “i’m going to have to ask you to leave the store.” they argued a bit and the guy watched them as they left. and then now he looks at us and tells us the same thing! what the heck? i thought he was fine with us… so doug just said some stuff to him like “you should have made eye contact with us too when you were yelling at them the 2nd time because we thought you were only talking to them” or something like that… whatever we just left and went to doug’s house. we watched How I Met Your Mother, season 2 episodes 1-4, and then went home.

august 15, friday – today i just stayed home during the day… didn’t do much. i went to kyle’s house at 8pm because marshawn and tracy were going to be there. when i got there marshawn was already there with kyle. and doug came later. me and doug just used our laptops and marshawn was surfing the net on his iphone. tracy never came! but we hung out there til 2am and then went home.

august 16, saturday – i got to tracy’s house at like 3:30pm today. gloria, priscilla, kyle, marshawn, and tracy were all there. stayed there for an hour or two, and then priscilla had to go somewhere. gloria had to go too, so we walked her to clement and she left. now its just the 4 of us, we went to Red A to get something to eat. i got a BBQ chicken sandwich, same thing as marshawn, and tracy too i think. kyle got a BBQ beef sandwich.

after eating, we took the 28 to my house to pick up 3 xbox 360 controllers, my guitar hero guitar, and a few games to bring to kyle’s house to play. i brought my scooter to ride to kyle’s house… so whlie i was riding it on the sidewalk of 20th avenue and pacheco, all of a sudden a vicious pomeranian dog ran out of a garage and chased me! i rode the scooter across the street with the dog following close behind me! haha since it was downhill, i picked up speed pretty fast and the dog couldn’t keep up with me and i stopped at the end of the block to wait for them.

at kyle’s house we just played some call of duty 4, and marvel ultimate alliance. then we went to golden island for dessert. i didn’t get any dessert because i wanted to eat hawaiian food for dinner. marshawn checked the closing time for the hawaiian drive inn on his iphone and he said it closes at 9pm… and it was already like 9:20pm. i didn’t believe that it closes that early, so i walked down the block and i saw that the neon Open sign was still turned on at hawaiian drive inn! i ran down there and looked at the closing time… it closes at 9:30pm! phew, got there right before it closed. i ordered chicken katsu, like usual. brought it back to golden island to wait for marz, tracy, and kyle to finish their desserts. and went back to kyle’s house to eat it. kyle played on his computer while marshawn, tracy, and i started folding origami with mini post-it notes! after that, we played some guitar hero, and then went home at 1am.

today – didn’t do anything today, just stayed home. ccsf starts tomorrow!!!

man oh man, time is passing by too fast! school is starting again on monday!!.. that’s in 4 days from now! anyway… let’s see what happened in the past days…

august 12, tuesday – at 12:30pm, andrew asked if i wanted to walk around the pier with him, phillip, kyle, marz, and maybe doug. i went to kyle’s house at 3ish so we could take the 28bus to the marina district together. andrew was at doug’s house trying to convince him to go too, but doug didn’t want to go. phillip changed his mind and also didn’t go. so at 3:30pm, andrew met me and kyle at the 28bus stop at noriega, we got off at geary to wait for marshawn, and then all 4 of us went to the pier on the next 28 bus. we just walked around, saw a one man band, batman, a clown, and some people doing art with spray paint.

after an hour or two, we took the F train to market, and then took the 38 bus to tracy’s house. we stopped by burger king at 3rd avenue for food… andrew doesn’t eat fast food so we walked along clement and he got food at the eva’s hawaiian place. we ate at tracy’s house and stayed there all night til ~2am and then went home.

august 13, wednesday – my limar 911 bike helmet came this morning! that’s some pretty fast shipping. :]

kyle came over later at 3pm with his xbox 360 for me to flash so he can play backup games on it, like my xbox. i opened up his 360, and got it ready to be flashed, but then i tried using my xbox 360’s power cord to power up kyle’s 360 and it wouldn’t fit!! so we had to go to his house to get the power cord… i let him use my 5th grade bike while i used my scooter. after 30 minutes, we got back to my house, i used my brother’s new dell computer to connect it to kyle’s 360 to try to get it into mode B. [mode B is when the dvd drive is in debug mode so that it can be flashed with a custom firmware to make it able to play copied games.] after like 1+ hours, i gave up because the 360 dvd drive wouldn’t go into mode B!! so i tried using my brother’s old computer… and the 360 instantly went to mode B! stupid new dell computer! now i know that i have to use the old computer if i need to flash other xbox 360’s. anyway kyle’s 360 is the 3rd one i’ve flashed. :]

we were supposed to go to tracy’s house asap when kyle came to my house… and now its like 3 or 4 hours later, so tracy and marz just came over to my place. i put on the drillbit taylor movie and it kinda sucked. we played marvel ultimate alliance, which was pretty fun. i used the deadpool character and reached level 10. after hours of playing this, we got tired, it was 1am, and they went to get seniore’s pizza. when they came back with their pizza, i put on the last 20 minutes of the superhero movie because i haven’t finished watching it. afterward, we played call of duty 4, watched the dave chappelle standup show when he was in san francisco, played some of the xbox arcade trial games, and watched tv. they left at like 8am, i used my computer for a little bit, and went to sleep at 9am.

today – woke up at 1:45pm today from andrew’s phone call telling me to meet at kyle’s house at 2ish. way to give me a 15 minute notice! anyway i just got changed and keizha drove to my house with kyle and andrew, so i didn’t have to go to kyle’s house. we went to costco because keizha needed to get some contact lenses. we walked around, ate free samples, and keizha got a box of chimichangas. next we went to target at serramonte because keizha needed some stuff for traveling like small mouthwash or something. after she got what she wanted at target, we went in the mall and she looked at some shoes and bought a pair of slip-on sandals. then we went to pacsun and the sales person was offering us a $10 off coupon for just trying on a pair of jeans! so we all tried on jeans and we each got the promotion coupon. i hope we can stack it up with the $25 pacloot! :] we went to dairy queen because andrew and kyle wanted ice cream, keizha got some fries at hotdog on a stick, and i didn’t get anything.

after eating, we went to the haight and met up with carroll and doug. we just walked around, looked at some stores. i finally redeemed my free small ice cream coupon at ben and jerry’s that i’ve had for like a year or two from gal! i got the New York Super Fudge Chunk flavor ice cream… MmMmmm. lynna came at 6ish and she left with keizha. me, doug, andrew, and kyle rode with carroll. kyle got dropped off at his house at 6:30pm because he had to go to his kung fu lesson, which by the way i have not heard about it til today! carroll, doug, and andrew came over to my place afterwards because carroll wanted my pci ethernet card that i didn’t need. i put on the 10,000 BC movie for us to watch because i thought it was going to be a good movie. carroll only stayed for like half an hour and then left because he had to eat dinner at home. doug and andrew stayed but we didn’t really pay attention to the movie. i checked the rating of it on rottentomatoes.com, and holy crap it got a 9/100! eh, good thing we didn’t really care about the movie. next i checked the rating the the new movie i got, Rogue, and the tomatometer shows 100%! wow, it must be a good movie!! so andrew and doug got pizza at seniores and came back quickly to watch Rogue. it’s about an american journalist visiting the australian outback and his tour group encounters a humongous man-eating crocodile. it’s a pretty good movie. :] doug and andrew left after the movie ended at like 10:50pm. that’s it for today!

oh man i haven’t had time to update this thing… i hate to do this, but i’m going to write everything i did this week in one post! i’ll try to make it short. :]

august 3 & 4, sunday & monday – didn’t do much these days, just stayed home, played some gunbound, and helped doug with his website.

august 5, tuesday – george brought his hp laptop over today so i could try fixing the problem; it was stuck at 640×480 resolution with 4 bit color. i couldn’t do much because it was running out of battery and he lost his charger, so i asked doug if we could go over because doug also has a hp laptop and he let us. first i tried installing service pack 1, but that didn’t really help. i tried reinstalling the graphics drivers… it didn’t help either. and we were going to open up the laptop to look inside, but it was too much work so we gave up. me and george just hung out there til 3am and then we went home.

august 6, wednesday – marz, tracy, kim, and kyle came to my house at like 6:30pm. they wanted to eat somewhere, but didn’t know where to go… so they were here for like an hour trying to find a place to eat. and at the end, we just ended up getting food from kfc/taco bell, lol. they brought it back to my house to eat and then they went home. oo, and marshawn ordered the T6 which has 2 chalupas, 1 taco, and a drink… he ate only half of 1 chalupa and he gave me the other chalupa and taco! 😀

august 7, thursday – kyle came over today to play and george came over too because i wanted to try recovering some files that he forgot to back up on his laptop that got formatted. his laptop was running out of battery, so he drove us to tracy’s house because she has a laptop with the same charger. marshawn came over later. anyway, i spent hours trying to recover the files… but in the end, i couldn’t do it. :[ kyle left at 6:30pm because his mom came to pick him up. george played grand theft auto on kim’s xbox 360, marshawn just used his iphone, and tracy was using her laptop. george drove me and marz home at like 1am or something. marshawn told george to drop him off at 27th avenue, but he walked for like 2 blocks while we were following him in the car to make sure he gets home safely… marz told us to just go, so george stopped following him and drove me home. marshawn really doesn’t want anyone to go over to his house… he doesn’t even want us to know where it is!

august 8, friday – went to tracy’s house today to hang out with tracy, marz, kyle, and celeste! celeste moved to arizona by the way, and she came back to visit san francisco. we went to the san francisco shopping center downtown because i wanted to buy some jeans, 2 for $55 + a $25 pacloot card, at pacsun. george met us at the mall later and we walked around. went to burger king later because we were hungry. i didn’t get anything though. 10 minutes later at 6:25pm, i left and took the K to west portal, walked home and ate lasagna!

william and samer came over at ~7:30pm and i put on the movie never back down. andrew came 10 minutes later, and phillip came 20 minutes later. at 9:30pm, the movie finished and samer drove us to the beach for qui’s bonfire birthday party. it was supposed to start at 10pm but everyone came like an hour late. there were like 30-40 people there. some people got pretty drunk, especially phillip! lol he could think but he couldn’t balance. we also roasted marshmallows on a stick! at ~2:30am, we went to video cafe to eat. i got 2 scrambled eggs with french fries and toast… it was like $7 i think. after eating, jimmy dropped me and phillip off at my house at 4am. phillip slept on my couch in the gaming room and i went straight to my bed.

august 9, saturday – woke up at 9am to help my mom setup her garage sale from 10am to 3pm! only got like $90… later at 5pm, tracy asked if i wanted to hang out. i didn’t have anything to do so i went to her house. kim and kyle were there and marz came later. we ate at king of thai for dinner, and i got what i always got: chicken fried rice! dericious! i couldn’t finish it though, so i took it to go. went back to tracy’s house after eating, and left her house at 2:40am or something. i got hungry hella after i got home and i finished the fried rice. lol :]

august 10, sunday – i played some gunbound today. then tracy, marz, and kyle came over at ~2pm on their bikes because i was supposed to get my bike today from my uncle… but i didn’t because he wasn’t home. :[ so we played some rockband and then took the bus to tracy’s house. kim was at tracy’s house already and we all went to japan town to check out the festival and also because tracy had to buy some stuff there. we went to the nijiya market and saw marco working there! after tracy got her stuff, we walked around a little, it was like 6:30pm and we went back to her house to drop off what she bought. we went to jack in the box because i was hungry and we went back to tracy’s house and stayed there the whole night. at like 10pm, kim got a ride home and we walked to mel’s for dinner. i got a chocolate fudge cake for $5… expensive!! oh and i saw thomas in front of cyber cafe on the way to mel’s. so after eating, we checked nextmuni.com to see when the 28 was coming… and the last 28 was coming in 9 minutes! the next bus is the 91, which was coming in 64 minutes. we walked back to tracy’s house and stayed there for like 30 minutes, played some tetris ds online, and left at like 1:10pm.

today – tracy told me that there was a cheap bicycle helmet at chainlove.com. so i checked it out and decided to order it- a Limar 911 bicycle helmet. the retail price is $139.99, and i got it for $46.90 + $5.70 shipping!

Limar 911

i didn’t do anything yesterday except playing gunbound all night with doug. i reached 6900 GP… 7086 GP to be exact, which leveled me up to a Metal Double Sided Axe! :]

today… i went river rafting at sacramento! i went with michael, samson, epi, herman, william, allan, nathan, big vic, kevin, and 5 other guys that i don’t really know. the day started out like this: woke up at 6:30am, packed clothes and a towel, ate cereal, got picked up by michael and everyone else at 7:30am, went to mcdonalds at stonestown to eat while waiting for big vic. i was surprised to see that there are still a couple of one-dollar items in the breakfast menu! i ordered a sausage mcgriddle and a sausage burrito- both were $1 each! big vic got to mcdonalds at 8am, and we left shortly afterwards.
2 hours later, at around 10:30am, we arrived at the rafting place: American River Raft Rentals. there were 15 of us, so we got three 6-person rafts ($72 each), 5 people in each raft. also, we got 6 stream machines (a long water pump gun that can shoot up to 70ft), 2 for each raft! we carried our rafts to the river and started rafting at 11am. there are hundreds of other people there, all ready to get wet and have some fun. the river that we were in was one with an easy slope, so we didn’t have to paddle as much, and so we can have more fun. as we paddled past other people in their raft, they usually shoot at us with their stream machines. heheheh, they don’t know that we have 3 rafts and we all gang up and attack them all sides. it’s pretty fun. 😀 later, we were way ahead of the other 2 rafts, so we decided to wait for them. lots of people passed us and big vic was asking them to spare some beer… one of them actually threw like 4 cans for us!

after about 2.5 hours of rafting (~1:30pm), we see a big circle of people on land at the side of the river looking at something. we decided to land our rafts and get out to check out what they were doing… it turns out that they were mud wrestling!! when we got there, they were picking people for the next round, it was a big guy vs 3 girls. when the round started, the girls jumped on him to try to knock him down, and he was balancing while undoing the hot girl’s bikini top! i think he showed some of her boobs, but i couldn’t see anything. then they had a 2nd round and he took the same girl’s top off again! i didn’t see much though, because i was at the back… :[ haha oh well.

so at ~4pm, we got to the ending point. we got out of the water, flipped the rafts over to get the water out of them, signed out. we paid $4 each for tickets to get a bus ride back to where we came from. the bus ride back was pretty long… maybe a 20 minute ride. we went back to the cars, changed, and drove back to san francisco. michael dropped me off at home around 7:30pm.

oh man, i didn’t put sun screen again today! it’s worse than thursday at six flags! hope i don’t die.

super red…
