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.
