As I realize my last days at Troy High have come to an end, I feel sad, sappy, and down. And yet, as I look back at all the memories, I feel so good, and my eyes just wanna fill up with tears, but they don't, as my mother puts it, I have no feelings (in a jokingly way of course). But I do feel nostalgic, and I have so many memories with the same friends I've had for the past 7 years. I just wanted to look back and put down all the memories I've had with DMS, Troy High, and my friends.
Teasing the Emma Willard security guard, and then being chased around by him.
In 8th grade, Martin gets up to sneeze, and as he sneezes, he lets one rip, dubbing him the name "Fartin' Martin".
In 6th grade, running around DMS, blowing up sockets.
Mike P. stabs me with a pen in Mrs. Dow's class, and it explodes all over me, ending the stabs from Mike P. forever.
Our physics project, to dress Sergio in a grass skirt, and then have him launch our plane, and then to watch him fly back as the rocket plane shoots straight up in the air and comes crashing into the ground right behind us; that was great, but also dangerous.
Seamus gives Jeff a "Mickey" during lunch in 7th grade, and Jeff never came back to lunch for the rest of the year. He was supposedly "doing work with a teacher" every lunch break.
Jeff had Penn shoes, and we added -is at the end on his shoes: "Pennis".
Bibek's presentation, he said: "I got nothing." Wow, that was really bad.
During lunch, as we mistakingly hit the black girls across our table with scrunched up napkins, they got mad. Well, leaving the cafeteria, the girls made a formation, sandwiching in poor Mike P., who got pounded by one of the girls.
7th grade ski club, Seamus comes skiing down the hill fast as hell, and I'm on the bottom yelling, "slow down, pizza pizza!!!" And next thing you know, he crashes into the big pipe thing found on the side of the hill, and he's stuck under the pipe, with a chipped tooth. Sorry Seamus I went ahead of you.
8th grade ski club, Rorry, Dustin M., and I, pretty much ski partners, going up on a lift, and three hot girls, in the lift right in front of us, and being the obnoxious guys we were, start yelping, whisteling, and asking for names. Of course we get their attention, and skiied with them for the rest of the day. That's how you pick up chicks.
Knee hockey.
Paintball.
Boyscouts; AG did the "farmer" move on a kid, funny as hell.
Sleepover at Brendan's, Nick get's a bloody nose somehow, and then in the middle of the night, starts crying and says, "I wanna go home." And he walks home.
Walter Cook on the Sally show.
There are several more, I may just keep adding them, but these are wonderful memories I will cherish and look back on and laugh at always.

School sux. I have so much work. I'm back to the times of insufficient amount of sleep. I blew my Calculus test, even though I studied hard. It's the time limit, I can't do the math so fast. I also did bad on my English quizzes, probably due to the fact that I didn't read my summer reading books. All my other classes suck. Sooo much freakin homework. I don't think I'll get senioritis. Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Steph!!! Aight, I'm out.

As many may know, I was In NYC and Phili the past weekend. It was great. The schools in Phili are sooo nice.
The little vacation started on Fri., where right after my RPI class, I left for the train station with jon. The train ride was fun. Jon and I got our own sections. I slept most of the way, except this annoying student kept chatting on his stupid cell forever and kept me awake at times. When we got there, we must of wasted 2 hrs. trying to find Jen. Penn station is so big and crowded. After we found her, we went out with her, her roomate Joanne, Tanya, and Annie to a Shanghai restraunt. Really good, with dumplings that contain soup in it. You have to eat them in a special way. The whole time we hung with girls, and it was great. Annie and Joanne were really cool, got to know them really good. Then we all hung at Joanne and Jen's new apartment, talked and stuff. I went to sleep early, naked, and everyone laughed at me, at the same time trying to look at me, j/k. But before I went to sleep, Jen picked my back. Only a few would understand what I mean.
We woke up mad early Sat. morning, but the car got a flat, so we waited, Annie left, and we went out with gomo and had lunch. We got back, picked up the car, which needed rotation and everything, and headed to Phili. We got to Bryn Mawr, where Tanya goes to. She's a senior now. We met up with Gomo Boo there. We unpacked everything into her dorm, really small, but everywhere I looked was a girl. It was great, the highlight of my summer. We ate out with Gomo Boo, then went shopping for stuff, and then went back to Tanya's room and helped set it up. I did the hard work, the computer, and the stereo system. Then all the girls came to Tanya's room, for like a little party, cause they all missed eachother. It was great, girls came from here and there. I mean, even during the day, when me and Jon had nothing to do, we just ran around through the dorms, playing football and stuff, and everywhere, there were girls. Anyhow, cause girls share the bathroom, girls would come out in their bathrobes and stuff. None of them were embarrassed with me there...looking, nah, j/k. But seriously, they didn't seem to care with me there. I met a whole bunch of new girls there, really nice people.
Then Sun. morning, again woke up early and headed for colleges. First stop was Havaford. It was really nice. We passed by Villinova U. also. Then came Swarthmore, which was just even better, and now is up on my college list, but its reputation for giving workloads and workloads of work kind of has me thinking. Then UPenn, which was amazing. Right in the city, it is great. Phili is the best city. Then came Drexel, and it was ............ dong. Well, no one was really around. I shouldn't dis it that much. If I had more time to spend and dig into the college, I may consider it, but from what I saw, it wasn't too good. The campus is pretty ugly. After driving through the city and looking at it, I really want to live there now. I love Phili.
Then we drove back to NYC, leaving Tanya behind for her senior year in college. I slept the whole way. We came home with new ppl there. Joanne's younger sister, Doris was there, and Joanne's boyfriend Stephen. Doris was cute, but we didn't stay there very long, and so we couldn't talk much. We walked around in flushing, like Union Street and stuff. All these NYC Koreans are pretty rich. They have like Mercedes and Beamers. Anyhow, my Gomo brought along a korean kid for us to take around. He was the son of my gomo's best friend in High school or something. At first, it seemd lame, having a Korean kid drag along, but he turned out to be cool. First, we went to an East Asain buffet, $30 per person, and it was the biggest, best buffet I've ever been to. They had lobster and everything. So fancy. The parking lot was filled with mercedes, beamers, mitsubishis, etc. It was sooo nice. After that, we took Robert, the korean kid, back to Jen's place to stay with us for the night. They watched movies as I slept early.
So this morning, we woke up, caught our train at the last minute, and came home. Again, Jon and I had our own sections. That was good. Came home to find out that we were having ppl over. I was planning to study or go out to hang with Steve, who came back, but ppl were coming over. So I was home, had a mini party, I was T-1000, played stuff, and now I'm here, really stressed. I have a take home quiz for Calculus due tomorrow i have to finish, and 4 essays due wed. for english, and a freaking Calculus quiz i have to study for wed. as well. Not to mention all the college preparation i have to do. And here I am wasting precious study time to write this journal. Whatever, I'm really stressed right now. Aight, I'm out.

Okay, woke up at like 9:30 to take my medication, when back to sleep, woke up again at like 10:30 when I just remebered I was suppose to meet my friends at school at 10 to claim lockers. "Oh well" is what I said to myself. I went to school, drove the little car, which runs alot smoother than my van, and saw my guidance counselor. My schedule is crap. I hate school. I have a problem fitting one of my classes, so i have to do one of those "working around it" situation. Like take some time during lunch, after school, crap like that. While I was there, I decided to check on the soccer team. Practices have started already. I went to see the coach and explain my condition, and he was totally fine with it. Came home and did stuff. I worked more on my summer reading and essays, that's why i feel so accomplished. I finised 1 book out of 4 so far and started an essay. School really blows, I mean, what's with all the summer homework. It's bs. Anyhow, my dad told me to get some burger king, drove the little car again, got me a chicken sandwich and a whopper for my dad. I realized after the drive-thru that i left my parents music on in the car and that the people probably heard it, cause the girls their were smiling or giggling about something. Got back home, ate, went on the computer, and that's about it. Praise practice was cancelled, which sucked. So I stayed home doing crap, on the computer. Oh yeah, I saw Dude Where's my Car and it was mad funny. I especially like the part with the Chinese lady going "and then." I didn't ruin it for anybody cause that's in the previews. But that was funny. I sent scary cards out cause i was so bored. Lastly, I made up a joke. It's a korean joke, so sorry to the other people. okay, here goes. Why did the Korean smoker go to Saratoga? Give up? Mal-bo-ro. hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Funny stuff. Aight, I'm out.

I woke up early today, maybe around 6:30. I had to have my lower bowel series done. My mom drove me to the hospital at around 7:00. We got there, and everyone there was already familiar to me, because I've been there so much.
We went to the X-ray section of the hospital and waited. The technician that assisted me was Christie, very nice girl. She had to be 21-22, and she was hot. But aside from that, she was really nice. She knew people from Troy High, so I figured she couldn't be that old. Anyhow, she took several X-rays of me. We talked a bit. Then she moved me to another section for more X-rays. I had to drink 3 cups of Barium, really bad stuff. That is one of the worst parts of these tests, the preparation. Supposedly, the Barium makes your teeth glow, but I doubt it, and I couldn't try to see if it did.
To tell the truth, the X-rays and scans are the scariest parts of this whole ordeal. Sure, the colonoscopy and endoscopy would seem more painful and excrutiating, but the X-rays and scans for some reason have more of an effect on me. I imagine something from the movies. Sitting in the hall, waiting in my hospital robe, it's quiet and dark, and just sitting there and waiting. And when it finally comes to the next scan, I lay there on the machine, and get scanned, like you see in movies with boys or girls who have like cancer or something. It's all very quiet. In the same hall was a very old looking man in a wheelchair, looking very sickly and pale. I thought this place was pretty dark and gloomy.
I was sitting there in the hall, and another patient joined me. She was having the same test, except only one X-ray. For some reason, I had to take several X-rays and some scans. She and I talked, and related stories. She went through the same things I have, except worst. The doctors can't seem to find her problem, and she has been taking tests for the past 2 years of her life. She was a very funny lady, always making jokes and looking at the bright side of things. Another lady joined us. She wasn't a patient, but her husband was. She was waiting out with us, by the X-ray room. She talked with us for awhile. We asked her why her husband's here, and she told us he had pancreatic cancer. She explained the hardships they've gone through, and was about to break down and cry. We said our sorries and wished them luck. I felt so bad when I was listening to her story.
After her husband came out, I realized it was the old, sickly looking man in the wheelchair I saw earlier, and I also realized he wasn't as old as he looked, cause his wife wasn't that old. As they left, she wished me luck, and for some reason it brought comfort to me. It was time for my second X-ray, and Christie took me in and set me up. I took it, thinking I was done now. But I had to wait, and then I was asked to take another X-ray with this guy technician. I forget his name, but he was really nice. They all dressed in the outfits you see nurses where, so he reminded me of Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents. He was really young too. He took me to another room and took an X-ray. After that, I was lead back to the waiting hallway.
I had to take another cup of Barium, felt like puking, and then I had a scan done. Another technician did it. He was also very nice. He took a few X-rays as he scanned me. Then the doctor came and did a scan of his own, and he took several X-rays as he did it. After that, the whole thing was done. I said my thank yous to all the technicians and to the doctor. I didn't get finished til 10:15. I met up with Christie as I was leaving, and said thank you and goodbye, and now I am at home. That's my morning. Aight, I'm out.

Dang, It has been a while since i wrote in this. Well, I won't write too much about the days i missed writing in my journal. Ok, as many know, I've been having medical tests. They haven't been too pleasant. I've had two so far, I have another one on thurs., and still I don't get results.
Today, I woke up at around 12. I did little, got on the computer, went down to rite aid to pick up my brother's medicine, and watched some TV. Then I went to Chris's place, hung there for a while. I showed off my nice butt to the boys, and we just chilled, doing nothing.
Then we went to Chris's new house, really nice, and swam. Let's see, Chris, Phil, Grace, and Michelle were all there too. We did stuff, had contests, did waves, and made a whirlpool. Let's see, I won all the contests, doing flips, dives, and swimming, and stuff. Boy, do I feel proud beating all them little kids (j/k). Actually Grace did better than all of us in swimming, but dang, does Chris suck. Even when he cheats, he sux. Ok, going off on a tangent right now, sorry. After swimming, we did some break dancing, and I learned some phat new moves. I can do the bronco now, the worm, windmill, and dance like my legs are jello. Then we got hot again, and jumped in the pool again.
It came time to praise team practice. John hyung came a bit late to pick us up. I lost all my pick's cause of my case, which is falling apart. We got to church, and had a great practice, and I will have to learn to dance while playing the guitar. After that came food. Wendy's, as usual, cause it's the only place open so late. We ate outside, like before, in the dark. It was good. Then came time to go home. I left something in John hyung's car though. So Jongho (sorry if it's wrong spelling) hyunga, if you found it, please tell me. The day was fun. I got to wake up early tomorrow for a dentist appointment, so I have to go to bed soon. Aight, I'm out.

I will forget everything by tomorrow, so I am writing in my journal now. I don't know if I'll forget everything, but almost everything. Ok, went to the doctor's, had my "procedure," I wasn't even alseep at the time. Before that, I had to inject medicine up my butt, and that sucked, I had to hold the urge letting out. Anyhow, I got an IV, waited, and finally went into the operating room. One of the nurses had two shots, and said, "here's the good stuff." So I figured it was morphine or something. I felt something in my throat, smelled some crap, and I though I was going to get knocked out, but i didn't, and I layed there with my eyes open, looking at the tv monitor of my intestine. I felt air going into me, and can't remember much else, but i do recall being awake, and trying to tell one of the nurses, but my voice wouldn't work. Anyhow, after the probe came out, it felt sooo good, like it pulled all the crappy stuff in my stomach with it. A feeling hard to describe. I am not gay. After that, in the waiting room, I did fall asleep, woke up, met with my mom, and she told me the results. Nothing, so i have another test for my stomach next week. This really blows. I got home and slept for like 2 hours, got up, and got ready for bible study. Bible study was fun, had a good lesson, and played games as usual. Then I got home, came on the computer, and Tammy painted my nails. So tomorrow, when I wake up, I'll be like, "what the hell happend to my nails!!!" It'll be cool. I guess that's it. Aight, I'm out.
P.S. - Tammy is still my favorite cousin.

Today was bad. I had my preperation day for my operation tomorrow. I took laxatives, so I had the runs the whole day, which sucked. James and Jon went to Mike's, and Tammy went to the Chong's, so I've been alone by the bathroom the whole day, very uncomfortable. Well, tomorrow is the big day, and I have to wake up mad early. I don't think I will make it to Bible Study. I guess that's it. I have to go to bed now. Aight, I'm out.

Man, I am really lazy. I haven't written in this journal in a while. I've been really busy lately with my cousins over. James, Jon, and Tammy are all over from Canada. Even with all of them over, my week has sucked. It started with church on Sun., which was good. Then came Hannah's party, which was fun because everyone was over, and for fellowship, but we did crap. We just saw movies, which was aight, and then there was just bickering the rest of the night, usless bickering.
Mon., I went to the Gastro doctor lady, and she gave me big news, hit me out of nowhere. She said, I will be having an operation on Fri., to check my large intestine. I was shocked, and my heart just sank. But it didn't stop there. Her assistant explained to me the procedure, and it's not pretty. I am really nervous and kinda scared, not alot. I just can't handle things going up my butt. I hate the though of it. So, that set the week for me, and I've been worrying about it all week. Mon. night, Mike and Sam came over to sleep.
Tues., me, the Chongs, Hannah, my cousins, Jon, and Mike all went shopping. That really sucked. I bought a really nice sweater in the beginning at H&M. That was fun, cause we just fooled around, like being pedifilers and hitting on baby maniquins. Then Phil tried to sell me for $39.99. But it stopped being fun when the girls took forever, i mean forever. I think we spent 2 hours in H&M. Then came other stores, and i was just sick of it, so i ditched everyone and found jon and mike. We played arcades the rest of the day, now that was fun. I had an urge to play DDR, cause i was used to pump, and i could do it, but it seemed embarrassing, so i didn't. Mike and Sam came over again, played Risk, and slept over again.
Now today, Wed., Mike and Sam were over, but Sam had to go to work in the morning. So, we played Risk. James is now addicted to AIM, cause he was on it all day. Sam came back, and him, me, Mike, and Jon watched a movie. Then Mike and Jon left, so it was just me and Sam. After that, my parents took out Mike, James, Tammy, and Jon to dinner. Me and Sam had praise team practice. We had to stop the movie, go pick up Chris, then Young-In, and then had practice. We had a really good practice today. Then the others met up with us at practice, and we all went to Friendly's. I ate meat, which i wasn't suppose to, but i couldn' help it, so I did. That was fun. It was the first time for James and Tammy to go to Friendly's. They liked it I guess.
The next two days are big, and they suck. I am mad nervous cause i'll be knocked out and nurses and doctors will be looking all up in my grill and they could do anyting to me, for all I know. I guess that's it, my crappy week.
Aight, I'm out.
P.S. - Tammy is my best cousin.

Today, I actually woke up pretty early, around 10:30. I had to return some submission form for my laptop to the technology department in the middle school. I did that, came back home, got movies, headed to Chris's, but stopped by the Chong's first. So at Chris's, I played some movies, went to praise team practice. Sam and Sally noona picked us up. It was squished in there. We then picked up Young-In. Went to church. Had a great practice, and boy, do we have a great lineup for this Sunday's praise. After that, we went out for ice cream. I had the orange sherbert slammer this time, but the maker made it terrible this time, but it's all good. We stayed in Friendly's for quite a while, talking nonsense. Supposedly, I am Wang Ja now, so that's good. After that, Sam dropped everyone off. I got home, watched Coyote Ugly, decent movie, and now I'm here, writing at like 1:33. That's it. Aight, I'm out.

Dang, I missed another entry. I'm falling apart. This time, I have no good reason except that I'm too lazy. Aight, yesterday, woke up mad early for church, maybe around 9:00, to get ready for the praise team's first performance. It was good. Many people really liked it so that's good. After service, I recieved my prize for the collection thing, and I got a cool brand new pocket Bible. It's really nice, but that don't mean it's a replacement to my old Bible, cause my old Bible still rocks. After church, we played some B-ball, and I guarded Eugene. If the hoop wasn't so low, I would've of done better, cause he kept dunking over me. After that was praise team practice, and the songs are getting harder.
Later, we went out to Friendly's, had some ice cream and stuff. I had a very refreshing watermelon sherbert slammer or something like that. I wish I had some of that right now. It's been really hot lately. After that, Kevin and the Chongs were over, and Phil just kept playing counter strike. I got a score of 46-30, top on my team, and saved them 5 times. I was proud of myself. That's what you get for having no life or work and just playing computer games all day, you get good. I went to bed around 4 that night.
Today, I woke up at 1:30. Dang, that's late. I did absolutely nothing all day. Just cleaning my room, which looks really nice now, and getting movies. I played some CS also. I decided to watch some Passions. I used to watch it everyday 2 summers ago. Dang, nothing has happened since. The only thing that's changed were the characters. But the story drags on forever. I remember 2 summers ago, when Grace and her sister never met, it took like a whole year for them to finally meet. Well, I just saw it today, and learned why soap operas are able to last sooo long. Today, like half the episode was with the sherrif guy arguing the same arguement with Grace's old husband. He just said the same question over and over again, "Do you have any proof Grace and you were married before?" It took half the episode for the guy to finally say, "No." Dang. That's how they get viewers, they leave them hanging and wanting to see the next episode, thinking that that episode with reveal all, but it doesn't, and so they watch the next, and then the next, and it goes on forever. Soap operas suck. Okay, enough of that. Then at 6:30 was my soccer team's summer session. I decided to go, missing the last two weeks. Dang, I am so out of shape. I had no endurance, and was mad tired, but I still messed them all up, hehe. Now I'm here, doing nothing, and I am exhausted from soccer. Aight, I'm out.

Dang, I am really aggravated and angry right now. My mom dragged me to Mrs. Chung's house, and stayed there til 10:00. I could of stayed at church with Chris and left earlier with John hyung, but no, I was not told we were stopping by Mrs. Chung's and staying there sooo long. I just slept the whole time, or tried too. My mom was sooo freakin loud, talking sooo much, I couldn't even go to sleep. Sh*t, so all my time has been wasted. So I can't update my website tonite, so my bad to all those people expecting it. I'll do it tomorrow.
Other than this, the day was good. I woke up around 1. Today was the day we took John and Sally out, the praise team. However, Sam and Young-In couldn't make it, so it was just me and Chris. We went to the mall, hung there for a while, met up with Mark, but he couldn't see the movie with us, and went into Rags again, and this time, when the girl came up and said how you guys doing, Chris, like the idiot he is, went, "chillin." Dang, he looked really stupid.
Aight, whatever, after that, we went to see Jurrassic Park 3, good movie, not as good as the 1st, but definately better than the second. After having to deal with John hyung squirming and jumping sooo much during the movie, we ate at Johnny Rockets. I had the Chicken Club Sandwhich Chris kept saying was really good, and it was. After that, and some ice sucking contests, we left. But it was the first time I was in the restaurant (hard word to spell) when they danced. It was rare, cause whenever I'm in there, I normally never see the dancing everyone keeps talking about, but I saw it today. Boy, they suck. I should've showed them some of my moves, teach them a thing or two. Ah well, it was still fun.
Then we went to church, and then my mom brought me to boredom. Dang, she says and does too many things I can't stand. Whatever, I guess I can forgive her, but let me tell you, I can't wait for college, to get out of here. I guess that's it. Aight, I'm out.

Okay, stayed up til like 5:00 lastnite, and woke up at like 12:00 today. It was bad, cause they were doing road work on our street, and it was sooo loud, it woke me up throughout the morning. But now our road looks nice, so it's all good.
I did nothing today. I really need a job. I just played computer games, went online, did stuff, talked with friends, and alot of planning. I actually have a busy schedule coming up. Okay, so I went to John and Sally's place at around 5:30, chilled there for a while, and played some badminton. I need to work out. I am out of shape. There's a track right by my house too. I should go running sometime. Anyhow, I had a good match with John hyung, but can't say who won cause there was no net, but we just hit it back and forth imagining a net. He probably would of won, but next time, I'll kill him.
We left to go to Bible Study. It was good, like always. We then had our social events that we always have afterwards. Instead of the usual board games, we went with group thingy kind of games. But first, we had cake, made from scratch by Viki. It was good, tasted like a cake. After that, we played some game with 1 up 1 down, 2 up, 2 down thing. It was interesting to find the pattern. Then we played bunny bunny bunny. It was fun. The punnishment was drinking this huge cup of water. It didn't seem that bad at first, but once you had to do it, it was nasty. I lost twice, caught unaware. Water started squirting out of my nose. It was bad.
When I got home, I peed alot, I mean alot. Now I'm here. I think that's it. Aight, I'm out.

I missed an entry, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! It's alright though, I have a good explanation. Anyways, to make up for yesterday's, I am writing an early one. Ok, yesterday, I had to wake up mad early for that appointment I had. I woke up around 9:00. My bad, I know I said it was a physical, but I mixed it up. Yesterday's appointment was the eye doctor. Today was the physical.
Ok, at the eye doctor, located conveniently in the wonderful Atrium Troy has built, I recieved my eye test and examination to get new glasses, cause I lost my other ones. The doctor said my eyes were bad enough that I needed them for driving, and if i didn't, i could be fined up to $500. So I picked out glasses that my insurance can cover, and of course, insurance only covers the plastic framed ugly glasses, so now i have ugly a$$ glasses. Please, someone find my other glasses!!! After that, I went back home.
Martin had called the nursing home and said we were coming, so we went. Boy, it had been exactly 3 months from yesterday since the last time we were there. It was good seeing everyone, lots of folks were gone though. We did our things, and then I went back home. At home, I just played counter strike the rest of the day until Jeff picked me up at around 9:00. We planned to see the movie at night, cause Jeff had just recently acquired his legal rights to drive after nine. So, to excercise his new power, we went to a late showing. We saw The Score at 10:40. It didn't end til 1:00. It was a good movie. Nice ending. But that's all I'll say. So we were driving around like 1 in the morning, no cars around, and it was kinda wierd, but cool. Ok, then I went to sleep, and that's my excuse for not being able to write my entry lastnite. Sorry to those who expect an entry everynite and are loyal to me and my journal, but I just couldn't do it.
Ok, today, I had to wake up at 8:15. It sucked. They're doing some road work outside, and it kept me up from like 7:00-7:30, but then I fell asleep again, but then I had to get up again at 8:15. I had my physical. It was nothing like I remebered. Before, I just remebered the doctor peeking at my private, but today, it required him to touch it around. It was very weird and uncomfortable. Ok, after that, my mom, like the annoying mother she is, started spilling out all my little problems to the doctor and making big deals out of them. That's why I'm aggravated right now. Remember my problem with donating blood? I had girls' blood or something, cause I was anemic? Well, as the doctor at the blood drive explained, the number varies each day, and at that particular day, my iron level was low, and therefore anemic. But no, my mom still brought it up, and Dr. Strauss referred me to take a blood test today. Also, when I took my eye test with him, he was a bit unprofessional. I covered the left eye to read the chart, and then I covered the right, but my left eye was still blurry, cause you know, when you cover your eye, you get sweat and everything, and at first, when you open your eye, it's blurry. Well, I tried explaining this to him, but he kept on asking me to read the chart. Finally, he scored my left eye as 20/100 or something. So that doesn't look good.
After the physical, I had to get my eye surgery for that STY in my eye, you know, the puffy thing. They had to cut out the piece of the inflamated gland or something. I was a bit scared, cause they assigned for the surgery right away, like it was serious or something, but when I got there, they didn't. At that point, the Dr., who was very very nice, said I had three options, to keep on using warm towels to compress my eye, or take a shot and an injection into my eye, or have surgery. He said surgery is actually the last thing he would want to do. So that was a relief. But my mom insisted on injection. I said I could just use the warm moist towel and keep draining it, but my mom was like, take the injection. I was thinking about it, but that's just as bad as surgery. Think about it, a shot in your eye. AAAHHH!!! But I took it like a man. He admitted it hurt, so that didn't really relieve me that much. He put two different eye drops in my eye, i think to numb it, but I didn't feel any numbness coming. So, the drops must of been for something else. Then the shot came. He told me to look down, he flipped my eyelid over, and took the needle right in there. He pushed the medicine injection in, but the medicine squirted out of the hole that was in the STY already, from earlier drainage. So, I didn't get the full effect of the medicine I guess. My eye was bleeding a bit, and I had to cover it. It wasn't that bad, just a sting. If the medicine didn't work in a week, I was suppose to go back and get surgery. Hopefully, it will heal by then. After that, I had to get my blood test. Another shot, yay.
We went to Samaritan, waited in the outpatient section for like an hour, and then I had my blood sample removed. This time, I looked at it happening. Usually, I turn away or something, but it was cool this time. Something is wrong with my veins. I've had the problem for my whole life. Every time I take a blood test, they miss the vein or pop it. My veins wiggle according to them. So, it was tough finding it today, but the lady got it. So I usually end up, after a blood drive, with 3-5 tries and holes in my arm. But today was only 1. She was good.
Ok, so now I'm home, bored, and updating my journal. I may write another one tonite. I'll probably play counter strike now. Aight, I'm out.

Today, I woke up early, expecting to go to the movies, but my friends postponed it to tomorrow night. So I woke up around 10:45 this morning.
Let's see, today I did nothing, just watched movies until 3:00. I saw Scary Movie 2 and Final Fantasy. Scray Movie 2 was really funny, but not worth $9. FF was aight, it wasn't great though. Again, I wouldn't pay $9 for it. At around 3:00, I decided to go over to Jeff's. And guess what, I DROVE there. Ok, at Jeff's, we played some B-ball, I won, and then some pitching, and then Martin joined us, then we just threw the ball around. Then we went in, played counter strike, and I just kept killing Martin, it was his first time. I ended up just using pistols and a knife on him. It was fun, cause normally, I'm the one who sux and gets killed all the time. After that, I had to get home for praise team practice. I dropped off Martin and went home.
At home, I ate, and waited for John and Sally. And I wasn't late this time, I waited outside for them. Cause usually they complain about me not waiting outside for them. So, we went and had practice. Today was really good. Chris is really getting it and Young-In can play good. So we are ready for this Sunday's service. It should be both fun and uplifting.
After a great practice, we went to Wendy's, and Sam is the master of Wendy's. He use to work at the Wendy's in Flushing, where that incident happened, with the execution thing. He is a sole survivor. J/k, he left that Wendy's a year before it happended. Anyways, he ordered for me and Chris cause he knew so much. It was really good. After that, we headed home. Me and Chris just goofed around like usual. I showed him some of my awesome dance moves. It was fun. Then he got dropped off and I fell asleep on the way to my house. Now I'm here.
Tomorrow is my physical with Dr. Strauss. He's German. Anyhow, the last time I went to him, he had a girl with him interning or something. Anyways, he checked my peepee, like you do for physicals, but she was right there. It was pretty bad. Off course they explained she was a professional and there's nothing to worry about, but I was worrying, it's mad embarassing. Day after tomorrow, I have a Dentist appointement. I have mad stuff, dang. I'm also going to go to the nursing home tomorrow. So it's busy this week, and very productive. Aight, that's it, I'm out.

I woke up mad late today. I think it was like 12:30. I prepared my curricular resume and filled out my application for Rite Aid and left to get a job. When I went, I had a good conversation with the store manager. He was very nice, but he just hired two new people. Dammit. If only I applied there earlier. Anyways, he was really nice and he said he will definately keep me in file, so maybe next time. For now, I'm still searching.
After that, I took my haircut. My hairdresser was very nice too. We had a good conversation, she has a son that goes to Lansingburgh. We talked about stuff. So the day was good with conversations. Let me remind all readers that I DROVE to these places. That's right, I am allowed to drive. After that, I mowed the lawn, and it looks fantastic, damn I'm good.
After that, Mrs. Mason brought me to Tricia's, expecting good food, and I wasn't dissapointed. I had some dhengjang gook with rice and then they ordered pizza. I just stayed there for what seemed a long time, and I just watched TV. I was watching this korean video, the show where Shin Dong Nyup (from Namja 3 Yuja 3, picks his nose) hosts, and this really hot korean girl was on. But she was a guy. It was disgusting. She looked so good, had a great body, but was a guy. That is sooo wrong. I hate that. It's so misleading. I mean, I would fall for her, but she's a freakin guy. Well, anyhow, the he/she had mad surgery, plastic surgery. I think that is wrong. I am disgusted and blank right now.
I just got Final Fantasy on my computer, so I'll be watching that. Aight, I'm out.

Dang, something is wrong with livejournal.com today. It took me forever to get here, login, update, etc. Okay, I stayed up til 4:30 lastnite watching DVDs. I had to wake up at 9:30 this morning for church. I was mad mad mad tired. We had to run errands, pick up cakes, stuff like that.
I got to church and saw that the POP Stars have a new dance, with the chairs, a total copy of Save The Last Dance and Britney Spears, but whatever. I played guitar for service today, and it was poor, didn't play loud enough. Lot's of people came today, including Isaiah and Christopher. It was a big group. The sermon was good, and the bible study was very good as well. We learned about Timothy, YAY!!! He was a good kid, who devoted his childhood life and activites for God, extreme service. His name, I mean, our name means "to honor God." Deep stuff. Then came praise team practice. People came to watch, it was fun.
Then Mark picked Hannah, Steph, Phil, me, and Chris up to go to the mall. We just chilled, shopping. Chris bought his sisters stuff for their birthdays' from the GAP. We met up with Paul. We ate at Johnny Rockets. Dang, the waitress, Andrea, kept hitting on me. What's up with these girls lately, all over me? Aight, whatever, so finally, I was going to ask her out, than I thought, "Nah, I'm too good for her." So we just left a fine tip and eventually went home.
We stopped by Hollywood to rent movies to watch at Hannah's. We got The Wedding Planner and Psycho (they wanted a scary movie). The Wedding Planner was more of a chick flick, which I didn't like too much. But I recieved a whole lot of tips on pick up lines. The movie was full of them. Psycho was good, we got the newer version. It wasn't too scary, but I love Alfred Hitchcock movies. This Psycho was based on Hitchcock's. Hitchcock likes to incorporate his other works into movies, like the birds in Psycho. Hehe, that last statement is an inside joke. After all that, we just goofed around, acting out stuff from the movie, it was pretty funny. Then came time to go home. I ate some ramen at the Chong's, and then left.
I'm pretty tired, so I guess that's it. Aight, I'm out.

My day was pretty crappy, mostly because I was mad tired the whole day. Every chance I had to fall asleep, I did. I slept at like 1 lastnite, and woke up at 10 this morning to help John hyung and Sally noona move. Boy, was I help. I arrived at there apartment right when they were putting in the last furniture, hehe. Well, I still was an important factor to their moving. When the sofa would not fit through the door, who went to get a saw and screwdriver?...ME. So I was very critical in their moving.
After that was done, we all went to Kevin's for lunch. Good food, I must say. After that, played some nintendo, then the kids started cheating, so I went upstairs and fell asleep on Kevin's bed. Then they woke me up cause I had to leave. Then I slept again in the car. Hyung dropped me off at home. I stayed home playing games, then fell asleep, then played more, then more sleeping, and so on.
After this wonderful day, my mom dragged me along to do some errands. We did some church work, dropped stuff off, and then went to give Stephanie a ride to the movies to see with her friends. We went to her house a bit early, so guess what I did, I slept, hehe.
Okay, after dropping off Steph, and suffering through her damn friends hitting on me (aight, that's a joke), my mom and I went to Burger King to get dinner. Ah, free fries with a whopper. It was good. We went to the airport to pick up my dad at 7:45. Guess what, it was delayed. It wasn't until 9:00 that the stupid airport could tell when it would arrive. Guess when it was going to arrive, 10:20. What up with that? So my mom let me go home and she dropped me off. So then I updated my website and took a shower and here I am now. I'm still waiting for my parents who aren't here yet. I am tired, and I think I'm going to go to bed early tonite. Okay, that's about it. Aight, I'm out.

I woke up around 11 this morning. I realized then it was Fiday the 13th. It didn't really mean much like it use to. Anyhow, Sam picked me up around 2, and then we went to pick up Chris. From there, we had to find Young-In's store. We didn't really get lost, but we wasted alot of gas.
When we went to pick her up, I had to cross the street to the store to get her and it was the first time I've seen her store inside. It's nice. I also got to see Hyun Chuli hyung. I haven't seen him in a while. After that, we wasted more gas trying to get to Crossgates. During the ride, we learned it was Young-In's birthday. We were all touched that she would spend her B-day with us, hehe. We made it to Crossgates Commons, and went into some Music shop. It was huge. There was lots of stuff in there. I got the stuff I needed for my guitar and everyone else got there things, but so much time was still left. So we decided to go to the mall.
The mall was aight. We went to FYE, and I found that there is another kid rapper, dang, some kid named Lil Romeo. After that was the Arcade. Dang, some kids were doing mad good at some dancing game. It was like Pump. It was sooo funny. The game was in korean, and it had korean music, like Turbo and stuff. After that, we stopped by Paul's store. We had no intention to get free stuff, but we did. Chris and Sam got drinks and Young-In got some sour straw crap that is very addictive. I just mooched off of them, cause I felt bad for Paul's mom. I ate like all the sour candy crap, and my teeth started to hurt like a b*tch. But whatever, they were mad addictive. To waste more time, we checked out the ghetto places. I was learning to talk all ghetto. Some girl that worked at Image was looking at us and saying, "what do they think they are doing in here." I went up to her and her friend and went, "Yo, don't make me bust a cap in your mouth." At that point, I knew I was destined to be a ghetto korean. So, our ghetto shopping continued. At some place called Rags, a really ghetto kid that worked there came up to us and was like, "hey, how you all doing." I was like, "you know, just chillin." I was really feeling the ghettoness kick in. I was part of them. So I was looking around, and alot of their clothes really appealed to me. After that, we went to the Old Navy side of the mall, and I stopped, and I just realized we walked the wrong way. I wanted to go to the Pet store. I was like "sh*t." Ah, oh well, we went to the piano store. Young-In played for awhile, then i really showed the crowd up with my piano skills. Nah, j/k, I've never palyed piano. Ok, moving on, we decided to leave and arrive at Vicki's house early. The car ride there was pretty fun. Chris and I were dancing in the back, well, it was more like just me, to korean music. I need to learn to dance. But I had some good moves. Ok, arriving to Vicki's.
We went, and sure enough, she was home. Sam fixed my guitar, and I started to watch Little Mermaid II, which sucked. Then we ate chips. Then everyone else arrived. We had curry rice, mad good. Eugene had his weekly laundry, which I see every week, so this week I offered to help him. He didn't take me seriously and just showed a smile. So I just sat there and continued to watch Little Mermaid II. We praised, had a good bible study, and then prayed. Then we secretly sent Eugene to get Young-In's cake, and we played some Cranium. Boy, was I dissapointed. We lost again. Suddenly, TC's one mind was transferred to LH's one mind. It sucked. Eugene arrived with the cake and we sang happy b-day, took pictures, and ate. We continued with Taboo, which we lost again. Again, TC failed. At first, it was great. Sam was good, always finishing with, "who's your daddy!" And Young-In scored our team alot. And Chris was on fire. We had a good, strong, confident team, we were the praise team, but it didn't help. Unfortunately, I was the weakest link in our strong team. I was falling apart. I couldn't keep my act together. I was sweating, fumbling words, and my brain was dying. Wait, actually, when I think about, these symptoms are those of someone who was drinking. Hey, someone spiked my drink, and costed my team the games. CHEATERS!!! Aight, nah, j/k, they wouldn't do that, or would they? Ok, the night ended, and we all went back home.
That's the day, Aight, I'm out.

This entry is pretty serious. Today, I recieved my AP scores. They blew. I have a problem with all my f*cking tests I've been getting back, AP, ACT, SAT 1's and SAT 2's. Something is seriously wrong. I feel like I do good on these national tests and the scores show I don't. I want to believe like something is wrong with the machines, or scores got mixed up, or my pencil wasn't #2, or even like someone switched my name with their's. Of course I know these probably aren't true. Yet, I can't explain it. I study my A$$ off for these tests and I get back the worse scores imaginable. This puts so much aggravation and stress on me. These tests are really important and I'm screwing up on them. I work hard and study hard, but the output I recieve is sh*t. I get worried about college now. I've done nothing this summer, I am doing crap on my tests, and everything looks like downhill for me now. I'm not just talking about my test scores. My activities as well. I have no job, and I am doing sh*t to prepare me for anything. People will say I'm hardcore about school, but this is my college and future I'm talking about. It's not looking good, and I'm getting worried.
With something like this, I've been questioning God lately. But I know to have faith in Him, because he has a plan for me. These bad scores shouldn't affect that, but it still bothers me. I try to think, everything will work out, but it doesn't seem that way. I can't express my feelings very well. All I know is I'm feeling really bad inside and a bit worried. Outside influence has really bothered me also. When I tell kids my scores, they remind me how bad they are. It gets really annoying. Expecting something like, "Ah, that's alright." I get, "Damn Tim, what happended. You use to be smart. These tests are really important for college. You really need to learn to take a test." Stuff like that. I know people have much bigger problems compared to this, so don't think too much about it, I'm just having conflicting emotions and just letting it out in this entry. I'm actually feeling a bit better by releasing all my anger, emotions, and frustrations. I like this journal thing.
Aight, my day. It was good, until I read my test scores. Well, I woke up mad early, like 10, and went to the Mason's. We had lunch together at that Dragon Buffet place. It use to be some Chinese maffia hideout or something. It was good. Then back at the Mason's, me and Mike just watched movies all day. We first saw Saving Silverman. It was mad funny at first, but then it got really stupid. Then we saw Sugar and Spice. That was a bad-OK movie. Then we went out to play B-ball for like a couple of hours. Mike cheats too much (j/k), inside joke. Okay, after that, we went back to Mike's and watched another movie, The Big Hit. It was good I guess. And that ended the day. I think I'll work on my site now. I have more pics from Six Flags, so, aight, I'm out.
