summer so far pt.2

here is the latest update on my life.

friday:
- cancel melrose plans, get acupuncture instead. what a steal.
- cant remember if i went to topanga (probably did), but on the way back got some in-n-out.
- gym!
- chill at home for a little then head to wvc for haiti benefit concert thing. it was definitely interesting to see all the korean kids in the valley again.. things kind of changed but they mostly didnt.
- midnight zuma run. it was really nice at the beach with a full moon and high tide. it was a lot brighter and warmer than the times that i went to zuma during winter break. trekked around the valley dropping off the kiddos, get home at 4:00am, do nothing for a bit, sleep.

saturday:
- wakeup.
- run! ran down valley circle. its very hot in the valley.
- shower then have a long long talk with appa.
- ktown for gogi with my family. mm, meat is so yummy. watched the lakers game at gogi jip.. yayy lakers!
- read my bible for a long time.

sunday:
- topanga, big surprise. when i am restless i: 1) call my friends, 2) go to zuma, 3) drop by topanga. planned on picking up a pair of jeans and maybe a button down but ended up with neither. i did get more yangmals and wifebeaters though.
- quiznos for a late lunch/early dinner.
- run! running down valley circle again.
- i resolve to overcome my restlessness and not go anywhere tonight. in fact, im going to do more than passively resist my restlessness by just sitting at home — im going to read my bible!!
- isaac came over around 10:30pm to just chill. ken got back from sd and beelined it to my house ahaha. then john came over too. yayy 2525 reunion at my place.
- we ended up watching troy — i never knew how funny that movie was until i watched it with my roommates ahahah. we had a good laugh over trying to see which characters match our personalities the best.

this is the breakdown:
john = agamemnon, the power hungry king who wants to take over all of greece. in the end, he is killed by briseis, the princess of troy ahaha.
me = menelaus, agamemnon’s burly brother who loses his wife helen to the pretty boy paris. engages in battle with paris and defeats him fair and square, only to be felled by the mighty hector. menelaus was undoubtedly the hero of the movie.
isaac = paris for obvious reasons.
ken = king priam, the kind old king who loved his city and his people and remained faithful to it until the very end.

- ken went home early (which means 3:00am LOL) because he was tired from driving back up from sd. john and isaac ended up sleeping over — it was like oven in my room aahahah. we talked for a while, ended up sleeping at what was probably around 5:30am. i am thankful for my friends  :)

i think a part of me (most of me, actually) just drives around aimlessly hoping to relive the past. blah. sometimes it feels like my life is on replay.

aish. i need to bust it out, give my stupid thoughts a smack down, and be grounded. spend time reflecting, journaling, praying, and reading the word. i dont have time to be like this, i need to build character! gogogogo!! GOGOGO!!

summer so far

its 4:00 in the morning why am i awake :(
i tried to be a good boy by going to bed at 10:30pm but my plan totally backfired and i woke up at 2:30am and now im wide awake ahahah.
ahhhh maybe i should go to 7-eleven and get something to eat.

monday:
- arrive in north hollywood at 6:10am. greyhound was extremely uncomfortable to say the least
- chill at starbucks until ken picked up the 4 of us (john, tim, isaac, me)
- talk to mommy for an hour or so then knock out on the ground
- wake up at 3:00pm, return my motorcycle jacket at topanga cycle gear :(
- quick stop at topanga mall for absolutely no reason — i think i just feel compelled to go there because i spent so much time there during highschool
- gym! every break i resolve to go to the gym since i dont have time to go to the gym during the school year.. but i always end up stopping after going a couple of times. im lazy ahaha.
- yummy dinner then talk to umma and appa for a long time
- wake up hangyul at 10pm.. hes the same as i was in highschool ahaha. basically he works long into the night and only sleeps a couple hours, then takes a long nap after school and starts working on homework after waking up.
- help dongseng with student body elections campaigning stuff. stayed up until the sunrise making little necklace tags for my brother but its ok because its the summer of servanthood.

tuesday:
- wake up at 2:00pm.
- gym! im gonna run 10k (6 miles) again this summer so i thought it would be a good idea to train. its too bad i got tired and stopped running after 2 miles ahahah.
- meet up at pacific theaters in winnetka with isaac, tim, john, and allen to catch the 8:10pm showing of robin hood. i thought it was an ok movie.
- read a little, ended up talking to appa for a while. sleeeep.

wednesday:
- dt with ken in the morning
- lunch at pho so 1
- topanga mall again. i ended up buying 3 more v-necks in the same colors that i already own — black and white and grey. also, the only clothes i was interested in looking at were all different brands of blank white tees even though i already have a wardrobe full of white tees ahaha. my fashion sense has been decreasing exponentially upon my entering college.. or maybe its just berkeley. or maybe its fashionable to wear blank white tees.
- yummy dinner again. i really missed being pampered by my mommy and having all my fruits cut for me and arranged in an aesthetically pleasing manner on cute little plates with fruit decorations ahaha.
- food coma, knock out for a couple hours. wake up, then wake my brother up LOL. oh yeah, found out my brothers gonna be student body president yayy good job ryan!!
- talk with appa, sleep.

thursday:
- morning dt at northridge borders with john, isaac, tim
- bomb lunch at stonefire. living costs (i guess just food costs) are so much higher in berkeley!
- back to northridge mall with tim and isaac just to hang out
- dropped off isaac and tim. i was all happy while driving tim home because i thought i would be the first one to visit tim’s home in moorpark, but all the guys had already gone there except for me LOL.
- topanga mall (i may have a physical dependence to that place) and picked up a pair of running shoes
- gym! watched the earlier parts of the lakers game while running/working out
- ate dinner and finished watching the lakers game. artest was all good today ahahah yeahboii
- read, sleep. well, i guess it turned out to be a 4 hour nap.

i suppose the last 30 minutes i spent updating my blog was semi-productive.. at least ill remember what i did for the first 4 days of my summer back in the valley ahaha.
lets see. tomorrow im supposed to go to melrose but knowing myself, ill probably just end up at the topanga mall again ahaha.

this past week went by pretty quickly.. only two more weeks left! i know its gonna fly by — especially with the sd trip and magic mountain and other activities..
i should spend my time wisely.

being at home always gives me mixed feelings.. lord, make straight my paths

sunrise part 109813 yeahboi
