monday:
- woke up next to beautiful isaac
- chill at my house for a bit, then go to the mall with isaac, tim, ken, ken’s cousin. met up with john there too. i think we all agree that every department store needs to make a special “isaac fit”, somewhere between a small and a medium.
- home, help out with chores around the house.
- pick up ryan from barnes and nobles, mall pt 2 with my brother
- watch dark knight, read, sleep.
still kind of restless.. i really cant stand being alone hahaa

tuesday:
- wake up at 2:30pm
- hit the gym with ken –
- late lunch/early dinner at el torito where i was tripping out ahaha
- dodgers stadium!! with ken, ken’s cousin, tim, john, isaac. dodgers vs. diamondbacks — that must have been the slowest game in the history of baseball.. the scoreboard was all zeroes until the bottom of the 11th inning, dodgers win with a homerun yayy. oh yeah, there was this one player on the diamondbacks named jackson, and everyone was bagging on him the whole game. “hey jackson, you want some icecream?” “throw the ball at jackson!” it kind of sucked for him, but i have to admit it was funny ahaha.
- we all headed to kens place for isaacs 21st birthday. happy birthday isaac!! isaac and i had 2 redlines each to celebrate. watched avatar at kens house, then started playing some card games. poker, old maid, mafia. isaac is a super cheater ahaha.
- we talked for a long long time.. until the sun came up. one by one, people started falling asleep and it was basically me and john talking with isaac trying to fall asleep but being unable to because of the caffeine ahaha. isaac and i headed back to my house where we talked some more. tried falling asleep but couldnt, the two of us drifted in and out of sleep for about two hours.
i had lots and lots on my mind. still thinking.

wednesday:
- wake up next to beautiful isaac
- isaac and i got ready then met with the other guys at kens house. sea food buffet for lunch in encino for isaac birthday. the food was pretty good. funniest thing was that we sang happy birthday to isaac, then right after, we all hear tim go “oh, appa!!” and tims dad was standing right behind tim ahaha. apparently tims dad works in encino and likes going to that buffet for lunch.
- drop off tim in moorpark then talk to ken for a while.
- haircut next to greenland market.
- ken wanted to go running but something inside me (probably the 2 redlines and 2 hours of sleep) just said no ahaha.
- brush up on my phone skills. play at the park like a little kid. ok bye bye shigan.
wahh.

thursday:
- wake up with beautiful isaac at my front door.
- pick tim up in moor park then drop by a starbucks near his neighborhood.
- back to myplace for dt’s.. tims sister and daniel oh came to my house too.
- yummy lunch that my mommy cooked for us. she made some spicy noodles that she got from a cpk recipe. it was really really spicy but yummy.
- drive to san diego in tims new highlander. 101 was trafficky but whats new.
- arrive in san diego in 2.5 hours around 5:00pm. we had a little time to kill so we decided to go to the beach. we looked up “beach” on tims gps and the closest one was the wind and sea beach or something like that. the beach sucked LOL. there must have been 20ft of shore. but we still made the best of it ahahah. despite the crappy beach conditions i must say that was one of my funnest beach experiences.
- we were on our way to mike parks place to watch the game but got a call from mike kang so headed over to mike kangs place. we helped mike and joanna move in until dinner time.
- BOMB dinner at lolitas. that place seriously has some delicious burritos and carne asada fries. horchata to put the icing on the cake. oh yeah jason lu met up with us here too.
- back to mikes place where we continued to help mike and joanna settle in. it took 5 berkeley undergrads to put together one futon.
sadly, my productivity for this one day was greater than my productivity for all of summer thus far.

friday:
- wake up next to beautiful isaac.
- price center in the morning where we did dts and ate dt with the team. my last dt with mike kang. maybe.
- prayer walk around the ucsd campus. the campus definitely has a different feel from the berkeley campus. ran into gloria.
- got a brief history behind the ufo looking sd main library from lem. apparently, the library is supposed to be a tree in the middle of a garden. from birds eye view you can see a serpent made of tiles in the garden. the message being conveyed is that we live in a broken world because of the fall and what we need to turn to is the tree of knowledge. how do we know that these biblical references are actually legit? there is a sculpture of miltons paradise lost. pretty clear. we got to see where bible studies and sunday worship services would be held. sunday worship services are held in what would be equivalent to the bears lair ahahah.
- lunch at the price center again.
- mikes place where we helped him settle in. finished everything but the kitchen.
- back to ucsd for the very first set-up for the very first bible study. i had the honor of playing “finger bass” on the keyboard for the very first friday praise band. i guess god redeemed my years of playing piano with this moment ahaha.
- lem gave a message on the alabaster jar. it was a familiar message but no less powerful than the first time i heard it.
- we went to lems place for post friday bible study activities but we had to say our goodbyes before we could join in on any of the games.
- bye bye san diego!
- hello los angeles! dropped off daniel oh. isaac slept over. again.
today was pretty historic. im really glad i was able to witness the beginnings of our san diego church plant.
