people these days
i swear...some people have no lives. i went to lunch w/ my best friend Chie today. i went over to her house and gave her gift to her, and then we went to Pat & Oscar's for lunch in her car. so since she drove, i left my car in front of her house. well, when we got back, we noticed that the lock and door handle on the passenger side of my car had been broken. somebody had actually tried to break into my car!!! i just got my car back, and now someone tries to break into it? nothing was taken, and my car was still there, but still!!! i know theyre jealous cuz i'm driving a decent looking car and theyre prolly stuck driving some broken down POS, but that doesnt mean that they should break into my car. whoever does this needs to get a life and go out and get a job and buy them a nice car of their own. what a way to end this year!!! stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages >=/

my my barona has my my money
well...since i was unable to gamble while i was in las vegas, i had this silly notion that i wanted to go gambling. so last night, Ronnel, his family, and i went to Barona casino. haha, that was a big mistake...i pretty much lost all the money that was in my wallet. let's just say...a fool and his money are soon parted, and guess who was the fool =/. i vow not to gamble again...well at least until the next time i go to barona, and the occasional lotto tickets =þ...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

vegas vacation
and so my vegas vacation started last friday when we left san diego kinda late in the evening. we got to vegas around 1am on saturday morning and checked into the MGM Grand...pretty nice room we got...well, im still a bit too lazy to detail exactly what i did the whole week that i was there, so im just gonna list the (somewhat) more interesting things happened.

so that was my week in vegas...pretty interesting eh? too bad im not 21...cuz at times it sucked...but at least i was outta san diego...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

I'm Baaaaaaack!!!
i just got back from las vegas today. we stayed a day longer than i expected to stay...but it was cool (despite the pre-21 syndrome). i'll blog about my time later...but im too lazy to put down a long blog about what happened. so i'll just end here w/ a quote that i heard on the radio on the way back home...it cracked me up for some reason...

"I asked Santa for an X-Box for Christmas...and all i got was a Box with an X on it." -99.1 FM commercial

stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

rebuttal
well it seems that i have some opposing opinions (well just 1 for now) about my review for Southcoast Plaza and the rating that i gave it. if you read David's blog, he responds to what i wrote about "his" mall. well, all i have to say about that is we all have differing opinions about what constitutes a good mall, and one of my criteria is that it has to have a good food court. one could argue that this is a high quality mall filled w/ high quality stores...but c'mon now, walking all day around a mall that huge would make anybody hungry, and i dunno bout anybody else, but i would rather spend my money in those stores than shell out a pretty penny to dine at one of those sit-down restaurants. when it comes to malls, if i get hungry, im satisfied eating a hot dog on a stick or some sort of pseudo-chinese food. although this mall does have a mcdonalds and a del taco, it lacks the choices that one would normally get from the traditional food court. so in conclusion...i shall say, you can have a mall with all the stores that you would want, but without a food court, it aint nothing. =)

well, this should be my last blog til after christmas, since leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow (today) to spend the holiday...woohoo, nothing for me to do there yet (6 1/2 months left). i shall return next thursday, so while i'm gone, make me happy and sign my guestbook =). merry christmas to all and to all a good night...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

long message
this entry is for Aldrin

i'm bored...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

orange county
since Aldrin, would rather blog than play me yahoo pool, i guess i'll just have to update this thing just a bit. i can't believe that i've actually been updating this thing on a semi-daily basis...enjoy it while it lasts.

so what did i do today...you may ask? well...i went to orange county with Ronnel to pick up some stuff for his car, do a lil bit of shopping, and visit some friends. the drive up there wasnt too bad (we made it there in under 2 hours), although there was this new Chevy SUV (it had paper plates) that was somehow spewing oil all over the freeway, getting on the car. well, we first went to fountain valley to pick up his car parts, and then headed to SouthCoast Plaza, supposedly the biggest shopping mall in California. well, i'll give it to them...it is huge, and there are a lot of stores there...but other than that, it wasn't all that great, due to the fact that there is no food court!!! i mean, why design "the largest mall" in California, and not put in a Food Court??? there are restaurants there, and a mcdonalds & del taco...but the restaurants are a bit pricey, and we had mcdonalds before driving up, and didnt feel like del taco...so we just grabbed some ice cream @ hagen daz. so if i were to rate this mall, i would give it 6 boba balls (out of 10)...hahaha...lost some boba due to the lack of a food court. while we were there, we visited David, as he started his first day working at Banana Republic, and then we left.

ronnel wanted to find Little Saigon so that he could buy some trance CDs. after driving around for almost an hour, we finally found it. after that, we headed over to irvine to pick up my high school friend Jen. after 3 years, i finally saw her home away from home in irvine, and i should say that it's a pretty nice place to live. after that, the 3 of us headed back over to little saigon to eat at a vietnamese restaurant, and then dropped jen back off in irvine. we were about to pull out of her complex, when jen called back to say that Rachelle was home. now rachelle was another hs buddy who i hadnt seen in a long time, so i told ronnel to turn around so i could go say hi to her, and talk with her for a bit. after we did that, we began our trek back to san diego. all in all, i'd say it was a pretty good day. good friends, good food, good music...what else do u need? a food court...haha...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

fruitcakes
since christmas is fast approaching (and Karen was bored enough to send this story to me from ABC at 345 in the morning), i thought i might post a lil bit of this story for your reading pleasure...

And even though it may be detested by many, the fruitcake holds many advantages over other baked varieties. All those pieces of dried fruit act like sentries — grabbing water molecules that might otherwise escape by evaporation.

Fruitcake also has high sugar content and since sugar is highly acidic, it blocks or weakens any invading bacteria that might try to form moldy layers. If the cake is spiked with brandy, all the better, since alcohol is also highly acidic and also an effective preservative.

Some even argue an old fruitcake ages and improves like a good wine over time. Barham explains the tannins inside the fruit (which are also part of the aging process of wine) eke out and mix chemically with the rest of the cake, creating new flavor compounds.

These flavor compounds, he says, become more intense and varied with time — and are all the more reason to pull that ancient fruitcake out of the freezer and reheat it.

Or ... give it to someone else.

although the thought is nice (i think), i hope i dont get any fruitcake for christmas...so for those of you reading this, dont get any ideas about getting me fruitcake for christmas, or else u know what you'll be getting next christmas...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

potlucks
today we had a potluck at work, which was pretty good. what was even better was what i brought to the potluck...homemade lemon bars, from scratch. that was the first time i had ever made a dessert that did not come from a box....haha, i'm just a male version of martha stewart..yeah right, like that would actually happen. but i did really make lemon bars from scratch, and they turned out pretty good, and was popular amongst my coworkers, which was a good thing. today also marked the last day for me at work this year. i cant work anymore this year since i am quickly approaching the national poverty level, which is the limit of income that i can make for calvet. if i make more than the amount, guess who will be funding my college education? i'll give u a hint, it wont be the government. so i figure, i had better quit while i'm ahead, and just chill for the rest of the year.

other than the potluck, i just did a bit of shopping @ UTC, and then just headed home. for the most part, today was just a chill day, nothing all that spectacular happened. hopefully tomorrow will be better, since Ronnel and i will be heading to orange county to pick up some stuff, visit people, and do some christmas shopping. dont i just lead an intersting life? stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

jeff at the movies
alright...it's time for something new for my blog site, a movie review. tonight, i went to amc fashion valley w/ Melissa to watch Not Another Teen Movie. this movie is to teen movies as Scary Movie is to scary movies (oh yeah...now i sound like a critic). this movie spoofed teen movies such as Pretty in Pink, Can't Hardly Wait, She's All That, Bring It On, American Pie, 10 Things I Hate About You and any other teen movie you can think of. it was funny, yet at the same time it seemed at times to try really hard to spoof specific scenes from these movies. so in effect, some scenes that were supposed to generate a laugh ended up not really being all that funny. i dont really wanna give away the plot of the movie, cuz some of you may wanna see it (if you really wanna know, go see it...or just think up all the teen movies that you have ever seen). but i will go as far as to say that i wouldnt pay to see it again. i would give this movie a rating of 4 boba balls (out of 10). keep checkin back here for ratings about upcoming (or already released) movies, and see if i give it the "Jeff seal of approval."

haha...look out Ebert, i'm now rating movies. i dont really like those paid movie critics...cuz they usually dont like the movies that end up being movies that i like. i refuse to let some fat, overpaid critic tell me whether i should or shouldnt watch a movie. i'll watch a movie whenever i feel like it...haha. so for any of you reading this, i'm not telling you wheter or not u should see this movie, i'm just expressing my opinions of it. feel free to agree or disagree with it. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

creations
so what...i did it...i created a guestbook. i've received feedback from peeps who *gasps* actually reads my blog. but there are lots of times where peeps read my blog, and i have no idea who they are...so if you are one of those people *ahem*...click that little little link at the top of the page and sign my guestbook.

what are you waiting for??? go sign it!!!

bored of boredom
i thought that i would never say this...but i wanna go back to school....hahaha, yeah right!!! i am sooooo enjoying my time off right now...well except for that one incident that happened on monday night. i dont really wanna talk about it, cuz that might make me feel not as good as im feeling right now. but i will say that i get my car back next tuesday or wednesday, so im looking forward to that. although the car that i got is somewhat pretty cool. it's a suzuki grand vitara, which is fun to drive, even though it drinks gas like its water. last quarter has been pretty good to me so far, i've gotten 2 of my 3 grades, and i am pretty satisfied with them, except 1 grade was slightly lower than i expected, but all in all, im pretty happy with my grades so far. so now, i'm just looking forward to spending some time with friends and family during the rest of the break. hopefully there are some adventures to come for the rest of the break. i know that i will be going to las vegas during christmas, but thats with family, and i can't really do anything there cuz im 7 months under the legal limit to do anything. speaking of which, my birthday is exactly 6 months and 29 days away, so gift ideas should be entertained for the big 2-1 =). well, other than that, i wanna have some adventures with some friends and do fun stuff that i can actually do during break. so hopefully, there will be some mini road-trips ahead (must get out of san diego...must get out of san diego!!!) stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

these days
damn rain! damn guardrail! why do things like this have to happen when i'm having an alright day? more to come later when i feel better...maybe. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages >=(

that time again
well, now that finals week has come back to haunt us, i think it's time to repost something that i posted last time finals week showed its ugly face...this was posted on 6/9/01...

Levels of finals anxiety...by Stephanie Aguon
level 1-"ha..i have finals"
level 2-"hmm...i should study..."
level 3-"they're not gonna be that bad..."
level 4-"shit, I have finals"
level 5-"I'm gonna get crapped on!"

at this point...i think im somewhere between 1 and 2...but that's subject to change as the week wears on.
my first final is tomorrow from 3-6, and i feel prepared since i spent like 15 hours at OASIS this weekend studying statistics w/ Rea, and like a few more hours studying on my own...we better ace that thing, especially since it's open note, open book...too bad the other finals aren't like that...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

word of the day
ok..this is my first endeavor into words of the day...i dunno how often i will have em...but here it is...this word is dedicated to my buddy Steph...the word is...
SHOWSHIE

ok that was random...but i felt like it...niters...stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

not as bad as i thought
well...i took an ochem midterm the tuesday before thanksgiving...and i left with a feeling that i flat out bombed it...which got me thinking that i need to crack the books some more...i felt like the next 2 weeks were gonna be pure hell, especially since ochem is gonna be my last final, and i would have to pretty much ace it to get at least a B in the class. well, yesterday i got my midterm back, and not to my surprise, i bombed it...but to my surprise, so did the rest of the class. the mean on the test was 65 out of 150, i got 67...and according to my professor (who curved the mean to a B-), i got a B-!!! i seriously lucked out there...and that relieved a lot of stress. but that's not to say that i'm gonna slack off studying...i still got 50% of a grade to earn for that class on the final...wish me luck!

in other news, Kaibigang Pilipino had the revealing of secret pals tonight. i had some guy named Chad who i had never met before. well, all i had gotten him up until the big surprise was 2 king-sized snickers bars. well, tonight i got him a new backpack (he asked for it, and then said not to get it...so what was i to do?) and inside of it, there was some unagi (eel sushi)...and he turned out to like the stuff i got him, which was good. my secret pal turned out to be Cyrus. the past 2 days he got me 2 bite-sized snickers, and wiper fluid for my car. today he got me this huge box stuffed w/ newspaper and a small pack of candy, and then he got me the real gift, which turned out to be fuzzy dice for my car, and a shot glass. he had me fooled for a bit, getting me to think that all he got me was a box full of newspaper. haha...thanks cyrus (if u ever read this)...ah well...time to sleep....stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

10th week
this past weekend was pretty cool...even though i did absolutely nothing but sit around on my bum...and then reality hit...10th week!!! you know what that means right? a week and a half of pure stress and hell. i figured that this quarter would be pretty easy, and then something called 'midterms' hit. and the results of a few of them were not very favorable...well at least to my satisfaction. i just can't wait til 1100am on december 7 hits, cuz then i'll be on winter break!!! and it will truly be a break, cuz i dont really plan on working during this break...mainly cuz im making too much money, and calvet might get cut off if i don't watch it. so that means 4 weeks of...hmm...fun or boredom? we shall see...but for now i must focus on the task at hand...getting ready for finals...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =/

stuffed like a...well u know what
i am sooooooo stuffed...lotsa food in my belly. today was such a lazy day...didnt do much at all, except eat and sleep. ah well...im off to my aunts house now...stay tuned...we'll be back aftr these messages =)

short lil note
this one will be short....i promise!!! but i just wanna say happy thanksgiving...i can't wait to get stuffed. also i wanna wish Kathy Padaoan, Kathy Phan (haha, roomies), and my mentee Maribeth happy birthday. each of em are celebrating their birthdays...what better way to celebrate it than with a turkey drumstick in one hand, and a gift in the other. enjoy your day!!! stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

the night before turkey
why have my blogs been few and far between? well, for one, i have been really busy...haha...i always say that...but it's true. this past week has been the busiest i have been this whole quarter. the main thing that happened was APSA high school conference. since i was programming co-chair w/ Aldrin (haha aldrin...there i plugged your site), we were up late on wednesday and thursday trying to finish the program on time. then i took the program to the printer's bright and early on friday morning...so that they could get it done in time for the work party that night. so after that i went to work (note to the reader...since i started talkin bout my week, im prolly gonna talk about the rest of my week up to now, so skip to the end if u dont wanna read it). they finaly put me into an office at work...meaning that i dont have to work in the lab area anymore, i have my own place to work...although i have to share the office w/ 3 other people...at least i have my own desk and workspace. so...after work, i chilled for a bit, then picked up the programs. when i got to the cross...Aldrin and i kept the programs in the box til Mindy got back w/ the long stapler, so everybody had to wait to see our surprise. well, when we finally revealed our surprise (color covers for the program), everybody's jaws dropped. so then we put the rest of the programs together, and continued w/ the work party...which included practicing for the infamous dance routine. before the night was over, Janet got a call from Susie asking if we could pick up some LA area students from her apartment, so Jason and i went to pick em up. after doing that i went home @ about 130am and crashed...only to wake up @ 630 to get to ucsd by 730.

well the day went pretty well, especially since my co-facilitator Stacy seemed to really be into it...but my students didnt seem to be into it. it felt like i got all the students that were in the facilitator training scenario (pessimist, cant get enough of girlfriend, quiet one, the one who disappears) but we did have 1 person who seemed to be getting something out of it. but as long as someone got something out the day, it makes everything worthwhile. the performance by hereandnow was in a word...wow. they opened the show by playing childhood games like this pushing game, and red light green light, and they had audience participation. i was chosen by Joy Bisco who was also in The Debut to play red light green light. well as soon as i got up there, i made a fool of myself by falling over when they shouted red light, and had to start over from the beginning. but eventually i was able to almost make it and win...but oh well...but that gave me even more desire to watch The Debut. but as i was saying...hereandnow rocked the house w/ their performance. after a lovely dinner from catering, entertainment was up, and we performed the infamous dance routine. mad props to Cat for taking the dance routine under her wing, especially since she's just a 1st year. the entertainment was pretty cool, and then we got our groove on @ the dance. after the dance, Barstow high school's bus was delayed, so a bunch of us waited around until the bus finally came. another shoutout to Cat for accidently finding the bus, and for the rest of us who waited w/ the Barstow peeps til the bus came. well when i got home, i ate, and then passed out.

well, the next day i had a midterm review, so i had to get up @ 1000 to get to the 1100 session. i soooooooo did not wanna go, but i did anyways...but when i got there i found out that it had been pushed to 5pm that night!!! man...i got up for nothing...so i chilled til then and got my study on. after that, i went out w/ Kristen to find a gift for Thomas my secret pal for summer bridge, then i headed home. the next day was the summer bridge holiday party, where we gave our secret pals the gift, my secret pal ended up being Raul, and he gave me a book of happiness quotes...pretty cool might i add. we also did a white elephant gift exchange. i ended up w/ a bottle of goldbond powder. after that i went home and studied for my midterm. tuesday, i had a midterm in organic chem, which really sucked...and the rest of the day, i just chilled. today was a pretty laid back day, where i slept late, since i only had 1 class.

well, that was a long blog...my first in a long time. i was gonna put some randomness here, but i think this went on long enough. im gonna go relax watch tv. HAPPY THANKSGIVING everybody!!! stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

family
well...i never blogged about this, maybe cuz it slipped my mind (bad Jeff) but i have a new mentee for APSA. her name is Lin (hi Lin...if you ever read this). i feel bad, cuz we havent really done any real mentor/mentee bonding activities, since she wasn't at mentor/mentee day @ Balboa park...but have no fear, i shall take her out to get boba, and other mentorly activities. APSA now has this new concept for the mentor/mentee program, which is mentor/mentee families where we mentor each one of our family of mentees. so, i would like to say a friendly hello to my family of fellow mentors Jenni, Nisha, and Emily, and to my family of mentees John, Tricia "w/ a C" , April, and of course Lin. i hope that we all get together at least once a quarter and do something with "the family"...like a family night out or something. well...im gonna go back to watching TV...btw, im watching Jay Leno right now, and he has the "Dancing Osamas" doing their thing...pretty hilarious. well for now...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

randomness
i dont really have any major stories to mention on my blog...so i figured, that since i havent had randomly babbled in awhile...its time for another installment of random thoughts...enjoy!!!

registration is coming up for me on friday, and if i can get the classes i want, i can have 4 day weekends again...i didnt do as well as i wanted to do on my midterms, but i still did alright, just gotta study harder for finals...where were u when the earthquake hit? guess where i was, yeah i was online, i am such an addict...Janet cracks me up, she was running around frantically when the quake hit, and was telling me about it...i've been recently introduced to mah-jong, and now im kinda hooked, i suck, but im practicing online, who knows, one day i might get up to triple k status (mah jong group...not the racist group) we shall see...high school conference is coming up, i hope we get a huge turnout (we already got 200 preregistered)...magkasama was today, i got there towards the end, so i didnt see too many performances, much props to KP for the event...visit my ate Cat's website that was inspired by yours truly...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

the end of ugliness...til next time
guess what...I'M DONE WITH MIDTERMS!!!...*ahem*until thanksgiving week*ahem*...but oh well...who cares...im done...no more worrying about studying for stuff until the next round of midterms. i finished my last midterm today, which happened to be HDP1, the class where everybody and their mom is in. that midterm was not too bad...but we shall see how well i really did. plus my other midterms werent too bad either. so now, im off to celebrate, by doing absolutely nothing academic this weekend. by the way...did i mention that i have 4 day weekends??? well...if u didnt know...now u know. 4 days free of academic brain stimulation (aka brain pain). well im off to start my celebration. oh before i leave, i must say hi to Vaness, who wanted me to say hi, since i "never" say hi to her or get to see her...plus she mentioned me on her webpage. im off to galabant now...stay tuned we'll be back after these messages =)

something new
someone famous (i dunno who) said that u should always try new things in life. well, tonight i decided to take their advice, and tried something new. i went over to the La Cima apartments, where i learned to play...MAH JONG!!! it was mah jong night at Reggie, David, Jas, and Steph's apartment. im still a bit shaky when i play, and i cant strategize to save my life, but i pretty much got the hang of it...even if i am slow....i even won 2 games! well...i just wanna thank reggie, david and Phil for helping me learn to play, and being patient with me when i made stupid moves. also along for the fun were Mayrin, Lauren & Kim, although Mayrin and Kim were busy watching Dawson's Creek...i have no idea what they see in that show, but eh. Lauren was pretty good at mah jong...but just wait...as soon as i get my strategization in order...i shall conquer mah jong!!! you'll see!!! stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

where's jeff?
yeah yeah...i disappeared...so what? i've been really busy this quarter trying to stay as studious as jeffly possible...and so that means less blogs. don't worry, i havent totally disappeared, i will still update this thing when i find the time, but until then, stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

where is he?
i have been missing in action again. sorry about that, but i have been busy with a lot of stuff. lotsa things have happened since i last posted, including the attacks on the world trade center and the pentagon. that was a tragedy, but it amazes me how something like that can unite the nation like its never been united before. its also amazing how that son of a bush we call president can have a 90% approval rating because of this, and not because of anything that he did before this. i dunno...i think that its good that this country is united, because a nation divided is easier to fall apart in attacks such as these. i also have much respect for those people who are looking for anybody who could have survived this tragedy. i just hope that we can somehow get back to some semblence of normal life sooner or later. well, enough of my 2 cents on this topic, there has been plenty of coverage on this event over the past couple of weeks.

another major thing that's been happening in my life has been the return of school. i did not want summer to end, i was enjoying not having to do anything academic. well my schedule isnt that bad....im only taking 3 classes and i have 4 day weekends (fri-mon), meaning that i take tues/thurs classes w/ weds sections...but im gonna try not to let that get to my head, and try to stay on track to do well this quarter...wish me luck!!! well, for now i must go do a bit of studying before i head off to sleep, since i have work tomorrow. before i go...i must say hi to Kathy since she mentioned me in her blog, pretty nice of her too. also wassup to all u bridge peeps out there. nite all...stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

Back to work
eh...i started back to work today...i totally did not wanna be there. it felt so weird being back there after being gone for 6 weeks. i dunno...i guess the reason why it was so weird was that i was back to working to only a handful of people, instead of 149 students and 27 staff members of summer bridge. i dunno, it takes awhile to get back to the normal routine of my old job, which isnt much....but as i said, it's totally different than the kinda work environment that i had been exposed to for the past 6 weeks. especially the communication factor...i mean, in summer bridge, communication was everything...but in my "normal" job, a lot of things go unsaid and things just "go" without much communication, well i guess that's cuz so many people are playing politics with each other in my job that if they actually speak to each other, feelings get hurt, and drama erupts. i was thinking to myself that i miss working for Summer Bridge, and can't wait til next year to do it again. i was also thinking that im glad that im only gonna work for 10 hours a week during the first quarter...i dunno if i can take much more than that so soon after bridge. dont get me wrong...its a pretty good job, and the pay is great...but the job seems kinda stuffy now after the experiences of bridge. each one of the students and staff from bridge hold a special place in my heart, and i do miss the fun times that we had at Argo Hall. yeah yeah...that was cheesy, but true. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

rain checks
dont ya hate it when peeps u make plans with just cancel on ya??? well...i was supposed to hang out w/ my friend tonight...but i dunno...i couldnt get a hold of her at the time i was supposed to call her..so i dunno what happened. ack...i hate that!!! 3rd time she did this to me...sucks eh? not even a rain check!!! ah well...imma go to my friend Joan's house to play some ddr, and try to get better (see the last blog). we shall see how i do...i just wish my original plans worked out. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =/

random thought
Fatboy Slim's video "Weapon of Choice" is a pretty cool video. Christopher Walken cracks me up when he does his dance. Michelle Jeung can do a hilarious impersonation of his dance...u gotta see it =) yeah that was random...but i just finished watching his video...gotta love late night videos on mtv

it's over...it's over now
sorry about my last post...i was just having a bad day, and i havent had time to update it cuz of bridge and all. basically, i found out some stuff that got me feeling not so great. also my friend who had wanted me to mc her debut asked me not to do it, because she didnt want me to be a rose and mc at the same time, so i had to step aside. so yeah...i wasnt feeling that great. also adding to that was the thought that summer bridge was ending, and i didnt want it to end. speaking of which...summer bridge ended yesterday and im feeling a bit of bridge withdrawal. i cant completly explain it other than that i miss the students and talking to them. i also miss hanging out with the staff either in my suite, or in the pit during pit duty. i built relationships with these people that i dont think i could have done anywhere else. i am very thankful for the opportunity to have worked for this program...and i do plan on coming back for sb '02, but im not sure if i'll come back as an ATC or RC...we shall see. 1 thing i definitely wont miss will be the food. plaza cafe definitely has the worst food anywhere. i ate that food, and my stomach was really mad at me, and i paid for it. i think it's still mad at me...i need to apologize to it for torturing it for a month.

it was weird being back at home too. when i woke up this afternoon (haha notice i say afternoon)...i thought to myself that i was gonna be late for a meeting. i seriously was staring at my clock for 5 minutes before i realized where i was at. i dunno...it just hasnt completely hit me that this program is over. but hey...who knows, maybe when i wake up tomorrow...i'll remember where im at, and not think that im gonna be late to some meeting. well...i shall be enjoying the next week off before i go back to my other job...but as for now, i think imma go relax a bit and watch some tv before going to sleep. until next time...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages. =)

these days
days like these just suck..more to come later

sadness
sad day today...i found out some tragic news...Aaliyah died today =( it really sucks, cuz i really dig her and her music. but the thing that really sucked was how young she was. she was only 22!!! that's 2 years older than me for god's sake!!! i was looking forward to hearing a lot more from her. i even had a lil crush on her...she was the one celebrity i would choose to meet if i had the chance...but now that will never happen, cuz a tragedy killed her. what a way to end a somewhat decent day, especially after a great summer bridge talent show. i can't believe it. i am in mourning...=(

long time no blog
so what??? yeah yeah, i havent blogged in awhile...but then again i've been pretty busy for the past few weeks w/ summer bridge and all. but i am having a good time, although i'm working late hours that ive never worked before. but other than that, the students have been great. this job has been keeping me really busy, especially since i have about 40 students on my list that i have to meet with twice during this program. if you do your math, that means that i have 80 meetings with students, and thats not counting the countless numbers of staff meetings that i have to attend daily. so basically, my job is all about meetings. if it sounds like i'm complaining, i'm not...i really am having a good time getting to know the students who are here, and i'm really enjoying my large room and my extra large bed that no one, other than the resource counselors get to have.

august is moving by really fast...almost too fast. it's already half over, and it's already the 2nd week of the program. speaking of which, i gotta buy my best friend Chie a birthday gift since her bday is this saturday. i have no idea what i wanna get for her. why are girls so hard to shop for??? i think i'm gonna hit up the mall either tomorrow or thursday when i have some time off to get something for her. ah well...time to get back to work...until next time...stay tuned we'll be back after these messages =)

Moving In
for the past few months, i have been talking and talking about this thing called summer bridge, and about how i am really excited about moving away from home and into the dorms @ UCSD. well now that time has come, and i am now residing in the dorms of Argo Hall @ Revelle College. i moved in today, and am pretty well situated...well not too situated, cuz i have to move outta this room on friday. no i'm not moving back home after only 4 days in the res halls. someone @ the reservations desk here goofed up, and forgot to reserve the dorms for the staff of summer bridge the week before bridge begins (now), so for right now, we are stuck in temporary rooms until we can move into our more (somewhat) permanent rooms this friday. the room that im in isnt that bad...its meant for 3 people...but im the only one here. and im only sharing the suite (living area w/ 7 rooms) with Chris since no one else has checked in yet. but when i do move into my room, i'll be in a 2 person room by myself and sharing a suite w/ only 3 other peeps...so that shouldnt be too bad. ah well...im gonna head off to sleep now since i got training @ 8am in the fricken morning...nite=) stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages!!!

Insert title here
here it is the groove slightly transformed...just a bit of a break from the norm...just a little somethin to break the monotony...of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be...a little bit out of control it's cool to dance...but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance...gimme a soft subtle mix...and if aint broke then dont try to fix it (dont try to fix it)...and think of the summers of the past...adjust the base and let the alpine blast...pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme...and put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime...

remember that song??? summertime by will smith (aka the fresh prince)...that song brings me back to my days at hickman elementary school...somewhere around 5th or 6th grade...maybe cuz thats when it first came out. that has to be one of the all time summer anthems, and must always be played at one point or another during summer, or else it isnt summer.

as for what i have been up to...pretty much the song describes what i've been up to..well sorta. i've mainly been workin and going to summer school. and just chillin w/ a few friends here and there. i dunno...im just trying to enjoy myself as much as i can before september 20 comes around...cuz when that date hits, the craziness starts all over again...well lucky for me, i have 4 day weekends next quarter, otherwise it will really be craziness. so since i am trying to make the most of this summer, i havent really been making much of an effort of updating my blog (although i have been on the computer a lot cuz of work and pure boredom)...but im not as bad as some people...*ahem*...right Janet? =)

for now the days are counting down until summer bridge training begins (it begins this wednesday)...i am definitely looking forward to working for this program (as u can tell in a lot of my other previous blogs)...it really made an impact on my life at UCSD, and i hope to make the same impact to the incoming freshmen who are going through the program. another perk for me working for summer bridge is that i get to move out from home for a month...it aint much, but at least it's something. as for now, i think im gonna head to bed...eh, maybe not...i think im gonna play some ps2 then go to sleep. stay tuned we'll be back after these messages...=)

A Very Special Day
so the countdown to the very special day has reached 0...meaning that the special day has come. the event that occured on this day? why of course, my birthday...my 20th to be exact. 20 years ago today, Jeff Green hit this earth, and the world hasnt been the same ever since...haha yeah right. but yeah, i am officially not a teenager anymore, which means...absolutely nothing other than the fact that i dont have the word "teen" in my age anymore. i still have to wait until i can do anything "legal," although i have bent the laws on a few occasions =). but anyways, today was a pretty nice day...although i did go to summer school, and popped into work for a few hours. tonight i went out w/ my family (dad, aunt, and 2 cousins) to dinner @ the international restaurant on convoy. the food was alright, although it wasnt as good as it was the first time i went there. and then i got a Playstation 2 which means i can play video games and watch DVD movies...it will come in very handy when i go to bridge. tomorrow...i celebrate w/ my friends at my dinner party @ trophy's in mission valley. that should be fun...anyways im gonna stop wasting what's left of my special day on the computer, and finish wasting it in front of the tv. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

???
where have i been? ive been really busy with summer school and work, and hangin out w/ random friends...i havent really been feeling like updating this thing..and i still dont feel like updating much right now...cuz im gonna go to sleep in a few minutes... gotta work tomorrow and i have class too. anyways...the countdown has gone down significantly until the special day days left: 2 do u know what's so special about this upcoming day??? i do...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages!!!

1st day of Summer School
today was a really long day...well somewhat. i woke up @ like 745am so i could give my friend Cynthia, from UC Davis a mini tour of UCSD and get her parking permit before her 930am class. after that...i had nothing to do for the next hour and a half, so i went in to work...big mistake!!! the minute i get in, peeps were storming me to do stuff....they were like "welcome back jeff, good to see you...could u do this for me?" i had my vacation, now im paying for it...oh well. anyways, i went in til 11, then went to my bio class. my professor, has a really strong british accent...he's the type of guy who would pronouce tomato with the long "A". so i sat through an hour and 20 min of his quirky accent...then grabbed something to eat (away from price center)...then went back to work, where i was stampeded again w/ peeps asking me to put their computers together and stuff. after that i went to UPS to pick up the new One Voice CD that i had ordered...woohoo...its pretty cool, i like it a lot!!!=). then i went to get some boba from green tea house...damn it!!! they raised prices there...i paid $3.43 for a honeydew milk tea w/ boba!!! it's raised $0.43 since they opened 3 months ago!!! im gonna have to cut back a bit. but after that, i just went home and chilled. hmm...i guess thats all for now...no randomness for you...i need to get to sleep, my boss asked me to come in a bit early tomorrow for something...good thing i get weds off for the 4th...ah well...nite all...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =I

MIA
wow...long time since ive updated...well i've been pretty busy since i last updated. i havent even been in the state for the last week. yup, thats right, i went to Las Vegas with my dad to visit my brother, since my dad hasnt seen his new house. but yeah...i was there for 6 whole days...6 days of not being able to do any "Vegas" things...sucks not to be 21 in a place where u have to be 21 to do anything...now i know how Ian feels here in daygo =þ (just playin ian). anyways, other than that, i had been working, and chillin w/ friends who are left in daygo. yesterday i went to Rosanna's 21st birthday party right after getting back from vegas...i was tired, but i still went...lotsa peeps who i havent seen in awhile there, and of course there was lotsa drinking there...but none for me...i was too tired, and still had to drive later. after that, i went to Chrizil's graduation party. there were a lot of UCSD peeps and alumni there....we got a long game of scrabble going...that seriously took forever, but it was fun...my team won!!! GO SPEEDOS!!! =) after that, i was about to go home to pass out from the long day...but i was persuaded to go to suspension bridge with Chris, Baker, Jane, Trixie, & Annie. pretty cool stuff, but a bit freaky w/ the squeakiness of the bridge, and the "mysterious" lights that kept moving towards us. it was fun...but then afterwards, i went home and passed out til like 2 today. and tomorrow...i get to start summer school...yay me!!! 5 weeks of Bio2...woohoo!!!

randomness...Las Vegas is a mighty hot place this time of year...i move out from home in less than a month for a month!!!...oh yeah, and of course the count down for a special day, days left: 11. ahh...i guess thats all for now, so stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

Summertime Summertime
do u realize how relaxing it is to be away from school? summer break has come upon the students of UCSD, and i am very happy. being on summer break has made me lazy, and has made me not do anything that is related to being productive other than working...meaning that i have been laggin on updating this thing. i was really burned out from school, especially with finals, so i havent felt like being productive. but really nothing has happened within the last week, other than finals, and some friends graduating from high school and college. congrats to all u who graduated, and good luck w/ whatever u do w/ yourself.

another side effect of the school year ending are peeps leaving daygo to head back home. a few minutes ago, i was driving in La Jolla, and Steph Ng saw me pass by her, as she was going to the gas station to fill up before she headed back home to the bay area. she called me up, on my cell and told me that she had seen me pass by, and also said bye to me for the summer. so sad so sad...w/ friends leaving for the 3 months break, and other friends leaving to start their lives away from UCSD. i wonder what it will be like to leave this place to start my own life. another side-effect of the college student's summer break is that it's somewhat hard to catch up w/ old high school friends cuz they have their own things going on in their own lives that no longer involves you. i dunno...i remember when i graduated from high school 2 short years ago, as we were getting ready to walk across the graduation stage, a bunch of my friends and i made promises with each other to keep in touch and to get together every once in awhile, just like old times. too bad it doesnt work that way. no one is at fault for not keeping those promises, it's just the way that life after high school (aka college) life works. dont get me wrong, i still keep in touch with a few of my hs friends (including my best friend Chie), but i still think about the promises that we made to keep in touch with each other, and wonder how it would be if we all actually kept our promises.

random ramblings: hmm, i really like summer break, its been way too long since last summer...i wanna go to magic mountain, prolly gonna go sometime in july...the countdown is on for a very special day days left: 23...boba is good, especially from "my" (green) tea house...i seriously need to get a tan, especially on my legs, u need blinders to see my legs, or else you'll go blind from the brightness, thats how white they are...i guess thats all for now, im gonna get back to work for the next half hour til im off...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

A letter from a credit card company
i received this letter today from a credit card company i had signed up with during an APSA grad banquet fundraiser...

wassup with that? i dunno about you..but the last time i checked UCSD was on the list of the nation's top 10 colleges. and i am definitely a full time student, especially since i'm taking 17 units this quarter. sorry i don't go to stanford or something!!! dumas credit card companies...making excuses so they wont have to give me credit. ah well...i dont need em

want some randomness? thought so...anyways...2 finals down (physics & ochem lab), 2 more to go (ethnic studies & genetics) and then i'm done for the year!!!...i forgot to post this, but i got a position for OASIS Summer Bridge as a Resource Counselor for the summer, not the position that i originally wanted, but i'm still happy with the position cuz i get to move out for almost 6 weeks...have i ever mentioned that i hate aol? well i do...i think my level of stress anxiety has gone down a lil bit to a straight 3, especially since i just knocked out 2 of my finals...good luck all...

i think its time for me to get back to studying...although i should be going to sleep since i only got like 3 hrs of sleep last night...ah well, stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

Levels of finals anxiety...by Stephanie Aguon
level 1-"ha..i have finals"
level 2-"hmm...i should study..."
level 3-"they're not gonna be that bad..."
level 4-"shit, I have finals"
level 5-"I'm gonna get crapped on!"

hmm...i think im somewhere between 3 and 4...

waiting
i find out if i get it today...wish me luck

random ramblings are cool...especially in the process of procrastination =)

study break
i dont wanna study anymore!!! ack...finals are next week...and i need to know stuff...but i dont know stuff...and i dont wanna learn anymore stuff. it's 2:30 in the morning...i just wanna sleep, but i really need to kick it into gear if i dont want this quarter to end up like last quarter. i really need to get away from studying @ home...too many distractions...tv, internet, phone (anywhere i go...the phone will be there, cuz i always have my cell on me). maybe i should discover clics, ive been there, but never studied there...and geisel is too quiet. i just cant wait til next thursday, when i turn in my final final of the year...and i'll be on summer break....well not for that long, cuz im taking summer school. i am such a procrastinator...i dont wanna do anymore freakin work!!! why cant it be summer already??? just skip the finals, and go straight to summer...too bad it doesnt work that way. i still gotta survive this week. there's one high point at the end of the week...and thats rex navarette (the filipino comedian). i cant wait to see him...he's sooooooooooooooo funny...i saw him last year, and he had me crackin up the whole 2 hours that he performed. im trying to get my friend Rosanna to come and see him, if she does, then that'll be cool. but other than that...im gonna be a nerd this weekend...and do nothing but study, and go to review sessions. im already starting the process of being a nerd this week by doing some precramming studying. i hope i absorb all this stuff. will i be able to do it??? stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages!!!

ok...something happened to my last 2 or 3 blogs...so im republishing em now...enjoy. im off to study physics now. lots of fun. yay. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages!!!

Prom Night
did you know that tonight is prom night at my high school? well, yeah...it is. and i was supposed to go. a good friend of mine didnt have a date to prom, and asked if i wanted to go. at first i was gonna go. but then i realized that i promised to support Mayrin as she put on SEAfest, so i told my friend that i had made other plans. i kinda felt bad that i did that, but either way i woulda went, i woulda let one at least one of my friends down. but since ive been spending so much money lately on grad banquet and semi-formal, i made the most economical decision on my part, and decided to help support Mayrin. but then i found out later that SEAfest was cancelled...and when i went back to my friend to see if she had found a date, i found out that she did. oh well...im pretty sure she's having fun.

so what did i do instead of prom and SEAfest? well...i went to the Asian American Repertoire Theatre with Mayrin, Chris, Steph N, Reggie, Sonnier, Angeline, Darrell, Armando, and Christy and Alvin from SDSU. they performed "Sisters in Bondage: A Night of One Acts." it was pretty cool, and shall i say...intersting. we then went to Tea Station for some boba. i had some chocolate milk tea boba...never had that before, and it was pretty good...tasted kinda like a thinner nestle quik w/ boba balls in it. after steph dropped me off at my car @ UCSD...i picked up my friend Joan and went to Friday's. Jack Daniel's wings are good i tell ya...try them!!! funny thing....we saw Ben and Emmeline from SDSU there. weird seeing them there, since they live so far away. after we left Friday's, we didnt feel like going home, so we went to seal beach in la jolla, and just chilled there for a lil while. there were some crazy people there...a couple making out amongst the seals, drunk people tormenting the seals...very interesting. i had a good time...question is...would i have had more fun at prom? i dunno. i prolly woulda felt a lil bit old, cuz its been 2 years since i had my own prom. other than that, im sure i would have had fun...but tonight, i had fun, but for much less money than i woulda spent at prom.

random thoughts: 10th week coming up, am i ready for finals???...i cant wait til summer, im tired of school...i am taking summer school though (bio 2)...i find out about summer bridge this thursday, i hope i get it!!!...i wanna go on a road trip, hopefully to the bay area(you'll show me around right steph?), chris wants to leave this time zone, we'll see wassup...it doesnt feel good when you hit your funny bone in your knee on a desk like i just did...ok enough of my random ramblings, im going to bed. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

i seriously wanna move out!!! both of my parents are getting on my nerves!!!!!!!! i cant take it!!! ack...can i do it? if i do...i'd have to apply for loans, and find some roomies. is it worth all the trouble? free rent & food vs. getting away from parents (namely dad, since my mom has decided to move away). damn it...why do parents have to be so difficult? makes me wish i dormed...instead of staying at home

ok...so blogger has been down for awhile...so i havent been able post anything on here for awhile. this week has also been hella busy. i had the usual school work to do (midterms, quizzes, labs, projects, etc). and i also had the apsa grad banquet to deal with. i had to get the awards and stuff...pretty much by myself...so i was running around all over san diego trying to get bargains and "negotiate" with people. but all in all...it was worth it. just to see the graduating seniors, and the look on their faces when we (me Chris, Baker, and Jayne Kim) presented them with their sashes, picture frames, and certificates. these people helped me in my transition to ucsd...and i guess it was my way to give back to them. i had a lot of fun. i went with my friend Melody from USD....she's pretty cool...and we had fun. the dance routine, sticking to tradition, was last minute...and interesting. we did an airband type thing to the song SCREAM by Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson. the program went long, and didnt go according to plan...but it was still pretty cool. afterwards, we went to Scott's and just chilled there for awhile. well...tonight, i'm going to KP semiformal @ the Emerald Wyndham with my friend Rosanna. i think we're gonna have a hella good time, cuz we've known each other since high school...and we tend to always have fun together. well...im gonna go eat now...cuz im hungry...havent eaten since the banquet..stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages! =)

What a day
as i mentioned yesterday...sungod was yesterday...and it was pretty ok for most of the night, then got real ugly. well first, lemme start off with what happened after 130 (when my fun began). i went out on to library walk where all the vending and stuff was. and helped a lil bit with APSA food sales. we stayed out there til like 4 or 5ish. then i headed to my car on the shuttle w/ a bus load of drunken peeps singing sexual songs loudly...very interesting. then i got in my car and just sat there for a lil bit to decide what i was gonna do next...when some dude ran up next to my car, and started to pee!!! when i saw that, i started my car, and he stopped and ran away. i then got gas and went over to baker's and just chilled there before the concert. well..around 815ish..baker, mikey, dave & i headed over to rimac for the concert...but we made a lil detour to the back stage...where we saw xzibit playin ball. we kinda snuck in and chilled for awhile. after x left, mikey and dave played ball w/ some of x's crew while baker & i just chilled. after that, we got kicked out cuz we didnt have wristbands. so we went to rimac field and wandered around looking for peeps. we finally found Chris & Steph A. and went around with them. around 1030ish, x was about to perform...so we headed to the stage and tried to get as close as we could. well, when x started performing, it got pretty crowded where we were. and that doesnt mix when there are a lot of drunk people around. this is where things got ugly. about 5 min into x's performance...some dumases were pushing their way through the crowd...and knocked down about half of the crowd...including us!!! we all fell on top of each other. i was alright...but steph was right by me and she was shouting out in pain, cuz someone was crushing her leg...and i guess she passed out from the pain. so we rushed her out. and as soon as we got out, some crazy "lifeguard" girls pushed us out of the way cuz they supposedly knew how to "save her life" by checking her pulse. they even pushed the security guard (who was trained in cpr) outta the way. well anyways, steph woke up, and she was alright...except for a sprained toe (some dude crushed it). but in all the craziness...mayrin's keys fell out of steph's pocket. i hope they get found.

well...after the craziness calmed down, and mayrin got another set of keys for her car...we headed over to emiko's place. but i was feeling tired, and i didnt feel that comfortable at emiko's place...just cuz i have a feeling that she doesn't really like me all that much, so i just left. i dunno...i might be jumping to conclusions...but i really think that she doesnt like me, just by the way she acts around me...i try to be her friend, but i cant even talk to her, cuz she acts coldly towards me...ah well, forget her if she's gonna act that way around me.

and then today was Barbara's 21st birthday party @ her place. it was pretty cool, and there were a lot of people there, so it was fun. there was a big obsession with a sticky toy pig that you could throw at the wall and it would stick.

sorry if this blog was long...i had a lot to say...but now i think im gonna go to sleep. gotta do a lot of stuff tomorrow...so just stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

Happy Sungod Day!!!
today is sungod day @ UCSD...meaning...its the biggest "official" excuse to get drunk and ditch class. haha...so much for me ditching class...i already went to my physics class @ 8am...but then again...i had to take a quiz. oh well...what can i do? well...now im at work and i plan on going to my ethnic studies class and genetics just to turn in my homework...but after that =). nah...i dont think im gonna get drunk...im not the type of person who gets drunk..i drink...but i dont get drunk. i have never been drunk in my life...buzzed, but not drunk. but what im really excited about is the xzhibit and naughty by nature concert thats going on tonight, and best of all...ITS FREE!!! (for ucsd students at least). but yeah...the rest of the day (starting @ 1:30) will be fun.
did i mention that i registered yesterday? oh yeah...i didnt..since i havent updated this thing in so long. well...basically next qtr i have 4 day weekends!!! that is so cool...its never happened before. monday, wednesday, friday classes always got in the way...but not next qtr. next qtr i have class tuesday-thursday and im off for the weekend!!! im not gonna mention the classes that im taking for next quarter until my mentee Maribeth tells me what she's taking. sounds stupid but yeah...lets just say that i asked her about her classes (first i might add), but she said that she wont tell me her classes until i tell her mine...so im not gonna say what im taking since i know she reads my blogs. if u really must know...just ask me in person or on aim.

ok its time again for some more random thoughts...since i know u like em
4 day weekends are pretty cool...green tea house (aka my tea house) has some damn good boba...i hope i did well on my ATC interview with Auggie & Liberty, i find out thursday of 10th week...8 days away from APSA grad banquet, and i still got a lot to do for the awards committee (committee=me) in order to get good gifts for them graduating seniors...next week is gonna suck again, i got a midterm, a project, a quiz, 2 labs, and a prelab to do, that in addtion to grad banquet stuff PRAY FOR ME!!!...cant wait to see the concert tonight, its gonna be cool...hmm...what else...i dunno i lost the rest of my randomness..alright...more to come, stay tuned!!!

A few things...
Happy Birthday to Stephanie Aguon!!! she turns 20 today. we went out to Fuddruckers to celebrate...and it was pretty cool...there were a lot of peeps there, including a few of her friends from her days @ Eastlake High. from there we went to her house and chilled there. also...i wanna wish my adopted mentor Agnes a Happy 21st Birthday....her's is tomorrow...er today..whatever....let's just say May 12 since im writing in that threshhold between friday and saturday. also good luck to Kaibigang Pilipino with their Pilipino Cultural Celebration (PCC). its tomorrow (may 12). i wish i could be there...but im headed to las vegas tomorrow morning @ 8am in the fricken morning to celebrate mother's day weekend with my mom. im flying there...so i'll get there in an hour. but yeah...my heart is with all you performers, and i would be there if i could. but yeah...go out and support them and give em mad love...they worked hella hard for all these months just to put this thing on. anyways...since my flight is @ 8am...i think i should get some sleep...i'll fill ya in later. nite =)

Damn them music peeps
this napster injunction thing is really starting to suck. i mean...im glad that the artists are looking out for their well being...but they forget about us college students...who have better things to spend money on than on CDs. getting music from napster is an economical way for us students (and non-students) to enjoy the product that these artists are putting out. i dunno about you...but i dont listen to all the songs that are on a CD that i buy...so basically im paying for songs that i dont even want...when i really want 1or 2 or 3 songs from that 1 CD. these music peeps arent suffering...theyre still multi-millionnaires living in bougie (sp?) mansions...driving 4-5 ferraris, escalades, etc. while we college students are going from loan check to loan check...or working our asses off to try to pay for tuition, books, food, rent and entertainment. i mean...yeah i can see that they dont get any money from the music thats being shared on the net...but at the same time...its not like theyre doing back-breaking labor or working in sweat shops, while living in poverty. think about it....what they dont make from the music thats being shared on the net, theyre making it up with personal appearances, concerts, endorsements, and CDs that are being sold. if anything, the small-time artists should be the ones who are complaining...cuz they havent made it into the mainstream, but most of them are getting new life from their music being circulated on the web, and are benefitting better w/ napster, than without. i dunno...that was a random thought that i had last night as i was studying...and i went on napster to find some songs, but i couldnt find any that i wanted. oh well...i got some other programs that i use to get my music.

a few more random thoughts...
good job Janet on your Korean Drum Dance performance on saturday, it was pretty cool...i hope i get to be an ATC for summer bridge, my interview was on saturday, and i think i did well...APSA officer meetings are really long..., i have to make my monthly car payment, ack $250 down the drain...speaking of $$$ for my car, i have to take my car for its routine maintenance, more money!!!...i also bought my grad banquet ticket yesterday....and i gotta buy my semi-formal ticket too...good thing i get paid tomorrow!!!

ok...i guess thats it for now...i should be going to my physics class in 5 min...but im gonna ditch, cuz its a really nice day, that and my professor isnt that great. enjoy =)

Deep Thoughts
ya know...ever since i posted that one blog last week regarding my "friendliness" i've received a lot of feedback from it. it seems like everyone has read it..and has had something to say about it. the most common thing that people have said is that they could see it...and that they agree in some ways. Phil even gave me the "blog of the week" award. i dunno...i appreciate people for being honest, and even blunt with me, and giving me their 2 cents worth about the topic. but sometimes i just wonder why no one ever brought it up to me before. i guess its cuz its a sensitive topic to talk about...and that they wouldnt feel right bringing it up just like that. i guess it took a bit of realization on my part to get people talking...at least talking to me about it. but i dunno...whenever people describe my friendliness as being "touchy" it really gets me thinking. i mean...do people associate Jeff Green with the word touchy? when people picture my face...do they also picture me being this "touchy monster"? i dunno...when i hear that word...i associate it with some sort of sex offender, and it really makes me feel low. its not like im trying to be a rapist...im just...well i was...trying to express a feeling of welcome to others. but i guess people have perceived that as touchy. i dont want people to think of me that way...i wanna be thought of as a friend who is there for them. i guess the hugs are [were] my way of reassurance that im there for peeps in addition to a sense of welcome. but i dunno...since it was brought to my attention...i have been really conservative with my welcomes. some people have noticed...while others havent caught on. what im really afraid of is that this will affect the way people will vote in the upcoming APSA elections, since im running for fundraising. some people will claim that they will pick based on who's most qualified...but i have a sneaky feeling that this issue will be a factor in the way some people will vote. dont get me wrong...im not afraid of losing, and i strongly believe that Jas is qualified for the position...but things like this affect peoples votes. i want to be seen by people as they would see a friend...not one who is touchy. with that said...i think i'll end there...g'nite =/

remind me never to write my blogs on the macintoshes...or at least on the library lounge computers...cuz its not lettng me do blogs longer than the set length of the page. damn it...i hate macs!!!

oh yeah...happy belated birthday to Mayrin & Uyen who's birthdays passed this week...we're going to go eat @ Taste of Thai to celebrate Mayrin's birthday tonight. yum...thai food!!! ok...im gonna stop now cuz this mac wont let me finish all that i wanna say...hopefully i'll update some more tonight...cuz i have a lot of other things i wanna say.

yeah buddy!!! im done!!! do u know how much this week sucked??? i had something due everyday this week... it was pure hell, especially wednesday...where i literally went from 8am til 3am with no real breaks. well...unless u count the drive to school. what did i do u ask? well...i had 5 classes...studied in between classes...went to work...studied some more...went to a grad banquet meeting...then went home to do more studying til like 3 in the morn!!! no breaks!!! and today i had something due or to do in everyone of my 3 classes. but now im done, and i can nowand from bridge ATC interview is tomorrow. wish me luck...cuz i really wanna be an ATC. relax. well almost done...i gotta do a mock ATC one-on-one today, cuz my summer bridge interview is tomorrow luck cuz i really wanna do bridge!

And I thought last week was bad...
what is it with me and long ass weeks? this week has just begun, and yet it already feels long. i dunno...i guess its because i realize what i have ahead of me. wanna know what i got coming up this week? sure you do!!! let's see...basically, i got 1 ochem lab and 1 prelab due tomorrow...1 physics lab on wednesday...another ochem lab on thurs...a physics quiz, an ethnic studies midterm, and genetics homework on friday. argh...thats just school work. i also got to turn in my application for OASIS Summer Bridge to be an atc, and my officer statement for APSA. not a fun week at all. i dont think im gonna be doing any "socializing" this week...so no aim...no random trips...none of that...strictly business.

since i havent done it in awhile, here are a few random thoughts....whats up with the weird weather? sunny, cloudy, cloudy, sunny, i wish the weather would make up its mind...just in case i didnt mention it, this week is gonna suck...i hope i get to be an ATC for bridge...thanks Janet for your bluntness, i needed it, and i will keep it in mind...i hope all this studying that im doing will pay off...green tea house has some good boba, better than woo, but woo will still do...ok back to work time, more blogs later...stay tuned

Realizations
yeah yeah...i havent been updating this thing in awhile...ive been really busy and havent really had much time to do much blogging. i dunno...this week has been really busy and stressful for me. i'd rather not go into much detail, let's just say that i havent had much time to do stuff that i wanna do...like sleep and watch tv. but i have done a bit of thinking. i dunno...a lot of things have been bothering me lately. i've been doing a lot of self evaluating just to try to figure things out. just things like my relationships with people, especially with my friends who are girls. i've been noticing things about how my friendly relationships have been going, and i've received some input from some observers. i guess, i have come to the realization that i can sometimes be...how shall i put this...a lil bit too friendly with people. i dunno...i guess its my way...and the way that i was brought up to be...but i guess somehow being too friendly has had some negative effects in the way people perceive me, and in turn...the way i perceive myself. but the thing is, its hard to change the way i am. i dunno...i guess the only way for me to do that is to control my friendliness. but...argh...i dunno...it's late, and i have alcohol in my system right now. i guess my thoughts are easier to understand in my head than in my blogging. well...lemme go ponder some more as i nod off to sleep. nite =/

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH midterms!!! eek!!! wish me luck folks...especially in genetics. 12 hours and 38 minutes left. i need help...i just counted the minutes til my midterm!!! i should be counting genes...not minutes!!!

jack daniel's wings from friday's are mighty tasty..u should try em if u havent. just a random thought, since i just got back from there. 1/2 price appetizers are also a good thing =)

ok...its the weekend...i am happy. ya know how rough this week was? argh!!! let's see...i had to do a prelab for ochem and physics, i had to finish another lab for ochem, i had a paper to write for ethnic studies, i had a physics quiz, and i had to do genetics homework that i had no idea how to do. that was just the school related stuff. on top of that...i had to work and i organized the thai tea/chicken kelaguin sale on library walk for APSA. argh...this week was really busy...but i survived!!! now i got the weekend to chill and relax. i got some studying to do for my genetics midterm next week...but i think im gonna hold off til sunday night.

ok enough of that boring stuff about school...here are some random thoughts...
i got my car back today,im happy, it looks like brand new cuz they detailed it...i hope it doesnt rain this weekend cuz as i said, my car is clean...whoever is reading this should go to the APSA retreat this weekend, cuz it will be fun...green eggs and rice, who woulda known it was the golden rice bowl?...free jamba juice is definitely a good thing...hi tara (she made me say hi to her on my blog)...also go visit my fellow bloggers David, Janet, Reggie, Jas, Phil, Baker, and my friend Angeli. they got some interesting things on their blogs...well, all except baker, who has yet to post anything. hurry up baker!!!

ok...i guess thats all for now...til next time...only pick your nose when no one is watching (not that i got caught)...wouldnt want any spectators laughing at ya. ok that was random..but i felt like being silly =þ

ahhh *in a relaxed way*
ya know that "ahh" feeling that u get when you've finished your paper? well i have achieved that feeling. i finished my ethnic studies paper....a day early too. wow...aint i a nerd? hehehe. well actually...i did my paper so i could study physics and do my genetics homework tomorrow. now thats what i call planning... get a paper done a day early...work on other homework the night before its due...turn it in on time. i am so cool...what do u think...am i good or what? eh..dont answer that....dont pop my bubble!!!

and so i've been neglecting my blog thing lately. i dont mean to do that...but im trying to get my act together this quarter in regards to my school work...i mean...i really slipped up last quarter, and i dont want that to happen again. so this quarter, my main focus will be on school...although i have also been keeping myself occupied a bit. well...since i have pretty much decided to run for the fundraising coordinator position in APSA, i was asked to test my skills out at organizing an APSA food sales event. so i did just that for today...we sold thai tea and chicken kelaguin (a guamanian dish). and i would have to say it was a great success. we sold out of everything!!! so im pretty happy about that. the whole crazy process happens all over again tomorrow...this time, it's during my busy day for school...so i gotta find someway to get organized, while still going to my classes. (good luck jeff...hahaha) but yeah hopefully i accomplish things that i wanna do tomorrow w/o going crazy. oh btw...i would like to thank Steph N., Chris, David, Dave, Steph A., Janessa, and all those who helped me out today, and will help out tomorrow...i couldnt do it without u guys.

ok here are some random thoughts...enjoy =)
i miss my car...i hope i get it back soon, janessa and mayrin are a couple of really boba happy people, homework sucks, papers suck...especially when u havent read for em, tomorrow is gonna be really hectic, i keep seeing one of my APSA high school conference students all over the place...i think she's stalking me =), speaking of boba...i think i want some, hmm...i think thats all for now...i really should stop procrastinating and get going with my ochem lab write up. hasta...

*yawn* im really tired...i went to la today w/ Chris, Mayrin, and Baker for a conference @ USC. im really tired and should go to sleep...so i'll fill ya in later. g'nite

this post was originally posted on tuesday morning 4/10/01 @ like 230 am... i took it down cuz i didnt want certain people (namely my mom )reading it...just cuz she saw the link...and i just didnt wanna talk about anything that was in this blog...so i am now reposting it for your reading pleasure.


*DISCLAIMER ALERT* ok...my blogs have been pretty much upbeat and happy...but a whole bunch stuff has been happening thats been seriously buggin me and bringing me down...and since this is my self-expression page...im gonna express myself right now...so if u dont wanna read about a whole buncha shit...then turn away...

why does life have to be so damn fugly??? ok...first my fuckin grades come out crappy, forcing me to have to take summer school (something that i didnt plan on doing) then a whole buncha other shit happens. well...im just gonna explain the events of the past weekend (saturday-monday). ok...i guess saturday started out alright. i got to sleep in, i ran a few errands, and then i went to VSA culture night @ UCSD...which was pretty cool. after that, Chris, Baker, Darrell, and I went to Shea's birthday party @ the Navy Sub-base in Pt. Loma. well, when we got on base...i had no idea where i was going...so i was looking around for signs that say where it might possibly be. well, apparently, i was riding up on a police car's (unmarked ford explorer) tail...so they circled around to get behind me...and pulled me over. this was the first time i had ever been pulled over!!! according to him...i was speeding (i think i was going about 30-35 mph in a 25 zone) but the thing is...i didnt see any fucken signs saying the speed limit...then he had to say "you probably didnt see it cuz you were going too fast." that didnt sit well w/ me...but i didnt say anything cuz thats just something u dont do. well...he let me go w/ just a warning...so we drove the rest of the way to the locale of the party (Harbor Inn) at just a notch below the speed limit. well...the rest of that night was ok...we partied (somewhat), we ate, we went home. well...thats not the end of it.

the next day, i talked to my friend Raquel on the phone, and she told me that she was in an accident on Friday, and so she went home, which is why she didnt go to culture night. after i got off the phone w/ her i went to church. after church, i stopped by home real quick, and then left to go to the APSA grad-banquet meeting. since this meeting was a potluck, and i didnt have anything to bring...i made a quick pit-stop to Vons to pick up some chicken. well...while i was looking for a parking space...I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT!!! damn it damn it damn it!!! well, lets just say that this lady was backing out of a parking space, and backed into me!!!! and now my rear bumper is hanging and my light is cracked. my damage was worse than hers!!! so yesterday wasnt really a good day...after i reported the accident to my insurance company...i went late to the meeting at David's apartment. and after that we went to Fusion, which was pretty cool. and after that Janessa and I went to eat @ Keiths...where i pretty much vented to her. but then when i got home...i got into a fight with my mom cuz i told her about the accident. she was cool about that...the thing that got us arguing is that she asked if i was taking off work to take care of my car and i said that i was in addition to a little bit of school, and then i told her that i care more about school than work...and she took that to be a smartass comment and thought i was taking out shit on her...but i wasnt...i was just explining something to her. argh...why does she have to be so difficult??? was that the end of it?? noOOoo!!!

today...i talked to my mom...and i found out that she is selling the house and moving to vegas. she had been talking about doing it..but didnt actually do it until today. i was obviously upset cuz 1. my mom is moving 500 miles away and 2. she's selling the house that i have lived in off and on for 17 years. why do bad things like these have to keep happening to me? what did i do to deserve all this crap? shit...i dont need all this...i got other things to worry about damn it!!!

Got Unity?
first off...i just wanna congratulate Mayrin on becoming the next Senior Senator for Marshall College. too bad i didnt vote for her =). i couldnt vote for her anyways...since i go to *ahem-Muir-ahem*...ya know...that sucky college. congratulations are also in order for the entire Unity slate...it was a clean slate for them...they got all the offices in AS that they were running for. and also congratulations to Chris and ASP for finally getting AS funding that they have waited something like 4 years for.
ok...that blog was very politically minded...but hey...these peeps worked hard for what they got...and im very happy for them.

well...my car is now in the shop. i put it in to get fixed on wednesday, and they said it should take up to a week to fix it. there was about $1000 in damage...maybe more if they find more when they open her up. so now i'm stuck with a rental car. its a 2000 silver Saturn that is fully loaded...so that isnt bad...but i still miss my car =( another good thing about my rental car is that i have unlimited mileage, so i can go anywhere i want. so i think im going to LA this weekend w/ some APSA peeps for a conference @ USC...and then i think we're gonna chill in LA afterwards like we usually do. ah well..back to work. happy good friday the 13th everybody!!!

ok...this message was originally written today around 1pm...but blogger wasnt working...so here is my original post from this afternoon...

man...the phone company sucks...my phone has been out for like 2 days, cuz of some problems with the wiring outside. so i havent been able to go online to do some "homework"...hahaha...more like chatting on AIM. actually w/o AIM, i've been able to get a lot of real homework done. but seriously, i had some stuff to do on the internet for my physics lab and my o-chem lab, but w/ no phone line i couldnt go on the internet. so to do my the internet stuff, i had to go to my friend Joan's house on tuesday night. i felt all bad, cuz when i got there she was already getting ready to go to bed. well, i didnt really feel all that bad, since she is on spring break. did i mention that she has already graduated from college and is now teaching at the infamous Santana High School where all the shootings happened? well yeah...she does, and she was there when the shootings happened...but she was outta the way..so thats good. well anyways, her school is now on spring break...so she's just loungin around being a bum...and besides, it was only 10pm when i went to her place...so it wasnt like it was all that late. but the phone line now works...cuz the phone dude came out to fix it this morning. ah well...im at work right now...i should be doing some real work...but i decided that i need to update, so here i am. but actually, i gotta go to class in a few minutes. yay 3 hour o-chem lab....more to come later =)

oh btw...i found out where APSA gets its Thai Tea for when they sell it. we get it at a place in Carmel Mountain called Thaigo. Armando and i went there last night to pick up some tea to sell today. this will come in handy if i become APSA's fundraising coordinator for next year. oh yeah...did i mention that i was running? well...yeah...im running for fundraising coordinator. i have a lot of cool ideas for the position...and for the annual talent show. i hope i get the position. but if i dont get it...Jas, who i'm running against, will do a good job in the position, since she helped to coordinate this year's talent show...but yeah...i hope i get it.

i was supposed to go help out @ Marshall's Cultural Celebration for Admit Day...but when i woke up @ 10am, it was raining...so i figured that the APSA tabling was cancelled, so i went back to sleep...and woke up around 1ish. so i called Armando (i shoulda done that earlier) but he didnt pick up. but he called me back after i got out of the shower. he told me that there were a grip of peeps there...so i told him that i would come after doing a few things around here....but by the time i was about to walk out of the house...my mentor May called me to tell me that there was not too many peeps left...so i just decided not to go...and just run errands around Mira Mesa. so here i am now...just chillin til 6 or 6:30. cuz thats when i am gonna head to UCSD forreal...so i can watch VSA's culture night @ the Mandeville Auditorium. after that...my co-worker Shea is throwing a big party at the Navy Sub-base to celebrate her belated birthday...so a lot of us are gonna ride down there. who knows...we may stop to get some boba along the way...hehehe

have u ever stopped and wondered....what happened to them one-hit and two-hit wonders? some friends and i were sitting down in the saac lounge today and we were discussing that. since then, i've been thinking more about that. what ever happened to groups like Aha...ya know, the group that sang that 80's song (and popular cell phone ring tone that everyone and their mom has) "Take on Me" or Biz Markie who sang that whiney song "You got What I Need"...'Girl...you got what i need...when u say he's just a friend...when u say he's just a friend...' (dont make me sing) or even the more recent groups like Something for the People, who sang "My Love is the Shhhhh"? c'mon, you all know these songs. haven't you ever wondered what happened to em...and why they never came out with other cool (or sometimes annoying) songs? well...i have. i wonder...if they were to come out with that stuff today (never releasing it before)...would people like it? would it make it in the top 40? hmm...could u imagine Aha competing with a group like N'SYNC? hmm...Take On Me vs It's Gonna Be Me. who would win??? my pick...it's gotta be Take On Me. c'mon now...have u ever heard a cell phone with an It's Gonna Be Me ring tone? i dont think so!!!

nothing really happened today...it was just one of those days where i went to work, went to lab, went to the saac lounge (as always), went home...boring day. well...at least i got to sleep in today, since my first class wasnt until 220. i slept til 1015...cuz i didnt feel like going into work early.

im back on the boba wagon again. i havent had any since sunday when Steph N and i went there. i've just been really busy, and havent had the time to go to Sam Woo's. ah well...the weekend is coming up, im pretty sure there will be a field trip to Woo's sometime either tomorrow, saturday, or sunday...maybe even all 3. wanna come with me? call me up on my cell anytime day or night!!! =) 336-.... eh...call me if u know it...hahaha =)

i overslept again!!! but i wasnt as late...argh!!! i woke up at 715....so i was like 5-10 minutes late for my 8am. i tell ya...this schedule is really throwing me off sleepwise....hopefully i'll get used to it soon...

my schedule for this quarter is pretty weird. well...lemme explain. i start class on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays @ 8am. on tuesdays, i start @ 1245...and on thursdays, i start @ 220. this throws my sleeping pattern off...cuz i have to wake up @ 645 for 3 days outta the week and i get to sleep in the other 2...but i have to change the alarm settings everyday so i wont have to wake up @ 645 when i dont have to. this is gonna be hazardous if i forget to change my alarm back to 645am when i have my 8am classes. well...since today (yesterday actually) was a tuesday...i slept in til 915-930ish...i wanted to wake up @ 900 to go to work by 10...but i got lazy. so i strolled in to work around 1030ish...ah well, my boss doesnt care..he doesnt really keep track of my hours, as long as i get my work done. hahaha...half the time he's not even there. i love my job...i have to say that it's prolly the best on-campus job to have...cuz the pay is great...and i can come and go as i please...and get this, they also gave me a cell phone (nextel) that i can use whenever. i dont really carry it around, unless i have work since i have a phone that has free mobile to mobile...so i usually use it to make non-mobile to mobile calls. after work, i went to physics, and then to 3 hours of ochem lab. then i chilled in the saac lounge as usual, and went to the APSA meeting. that was my day...how fun.

damn...i really need to stop logging onto aim. it's hella addicting...and i tend to get distracted when i got stuff like hw to do. argh...maybe i shoulda given it up for lent...hahaha...maybe not. well...imma get off to get myself a peanut butter and banana sandwich...those things are mighty tasty, especially when they're hot...then im off to bed, since i got an 8am tomorrow. nite!!! =)

1st day of Spring Quarter
guess what...i overslept today!!! on the very first day of spring quarter, i wake up too late...lucky me. i had planned on waking up at 645am to get ready and go to my 8am class. but when the alarm went off...i decided that i could prolly sleep for another 10 minutes. next thing i know...its 740!!! so i got outta bed, jumped in the shower, got dressed, grabbed some oj, and ran out of the house...all this in 10 minutes. usually if i leave the house this late, i could count on spending 30-45 minutes in traffic cuz of the stupid train that usually passes when i get to the railroad crossing...but amazingly there was no traffic, and no train...so my commute to campus was only 15 minutes. by the time i got off the shuttle, it was 810 am...and i rushed over to WLH 2001 where my physics class was only to find a sign saying "Physics 1B has been moved to York 2722"...meaning that i would have to haul ass all the way across campus. but as i was heading over there, i saw my friend who told me that there was no one there. so i turned around and went back to WLH 2001. but when i went inside, the class being taught wasnt physics 1b...it was physics 1c...so i left. when i went outside i saw a crowd over by WLH 2005 and it turned out to be the physics 1b crowd...so we went inside. it turns out...someone was playing a late april fools gag on everyone, including the profs and switched all the rooms around...so on weds, we will be back in WLH 2001. that was only my first class. nothing else dramatic happened today...i just went to work, and went to my other classes (ethnic studies & genetics). everybody and their mother are in my ethnic studies class. and genetics is alright...but i might drop it if i dont like it. later on...i went to the APSA officers' meeting to check it out. so that was how my day went...how fun.

oh did i mention...i have a conflict on monday mornings w/ physics & o-chem lab lecture?....ah well..thats another story.

first of all...i would like to welcome back all you UCSD peeps from spring break. it kinda sucks that we have to go back to class and stuff, but oh well. at least we are all within reach of one another to go chill or something. but hey...11 more weeks (10 weeks, plus finals week) and we'll be on summer break for 3 months. but yeah...i hope that u all have a great quarter...i personally hope to have a better quarter than the last one.

today turned out to be a lazy day. i woke up around 1 thanks to daylight savings time. i did some back to school shopping for supplies. i was supposed to wash my car, but it was kinda gloomy, and looked like it was gonna rain sometime soon, so my car is dirty for now. after shopping, i chilled for awhile and then went to the airport to pick up Steph N.. i dropped her off at her apartment, then went to K-7 to see who was there. it turned out that Baker, Chris, and Armando were there chillin. Chris practicing on Dave & Mikey's 1's and 2's while Baker and Mando were checking out EverQuest. Dave was also there, but he was fresh from his week and a half trip to Europe to visit Iris & Emily with Steph A. so he was nappin. after that i went home and cleaned my room. ugh...i dont wanna go back to school =/

my boba fast has ended. after 5 days, i gave in, and had myself a thai-tea boba from sam woo's. on the way back from the airport, Steph and i made a pit-stop at woo's and got some boba. it was mighty tasty...i liked it a lot!!! =)
