Oh yeah. And download Faye Wong's song, "Eyes on Me." It's a videogame song, which usually suck, but damn this one's nice. Very emotional and soothing ballad.
Well sup. Today was a purty good day ... woke up about 10:40, ate brunch, went to mass. There I saw Alex again, but she was far so I didn't get a chance to say sup ... she's got a niiice back ... nice 'n smooth. hehe After mass I saw Chris and she was hot as usual ... we talked a bit ... the convo started off a bit weird cuz after we talked about Meg's sweet sixteen invitations it went sorta like this:

Me: Hey did you have braces before?
Her: Umm, (flashes the cute smile of hers) noooo ...
Me: You didn't have braces? So then why're you wearing retainers?
Her: I'm not wearing retainers! (smile mmm)
Me: Are you sure? I see retainers ...
Her: (laughs) no retainers ...
Me: So those are your real teeth!?
Her: Yeaah!!! (laughs)
Me: Oh. (laughs)

Well then we talked about some summer shizzle, jobs, summer school, being broke, etc. & then cheek kissed bye. I wouldn't rate this on approach shit cuz she's an old old old friend from waaaaaay back in kindergarten. We should chill sometime though ... introduce me to her posse ... hehe
After that I ate at Mickey Ds cuz still tengo hambre, and then the Chua bros, Rob and his bro, and I went to play bowling. OOOh shit I sucked major ass today ... damn that sucked major ass. But then at the end I started getting my shit together so that was fine ... next time I'll kick ass again. Bowling is too damn expensive too ... 6 bucks per game on weekends and 3 bucks to lend the pair of shoes. What bizzatches!

After that I chilled at Chui's joint a while, playing Chinese poker and Uno til I bounced. I went home, played a lil FFVIII, ate, played some more, and then my family went out for a lil relaxing stroll around the neighborhood. My sis and I caught fireflies, I practiced my dribble too, and then we went back home and here I am. I'm outties.

Aight, well now I finally finished getting the commentary system in place. Aight, you're prolly wondering why I havne't been keeping my page up to date for the past few days ... well that's cuz of a variety of reasons. Lemme just review the past few days and you'll know what I'm talking about. Hmm last day I wrote something was monday ... since then Chui got me hooked on videogames again ... or in particular ... Final Fantasy VIII. If you must play one videogame in your life, try to make it this one. Very cool game so far ... great storyline, interesting characters, better than PSO by far. I've been playing it whenever I've been home and had free time for the past few days. So Thurs and Fri I go for my orientations at the camp ... Thurs was cool, met some new people. I had a total of 2 cute girls in our group (the 7-9 age range), while the older group had all the hotties. Ah wellz, there's more competition I think from the guys in the older group so I'm fine where I stand. Thurs passed fine, one funny part was when a group of us were going to 7-11 for a quick break and on the ride back this girl was sitting next to me with her newly bought pepsi. She kept on trying to open the damn can but failed cuz she didn't want to break her newly done nails. LOL After a few moments of seeing her pitifully failing to open the can, I helped her out and opened it for her. Later on in the trip back, we hit a bump and some of it spilled over her. lol Next day, blah blah same shit and then afterwards we got to ball. I did ok, but this one kid, Kobe, is maad nice. he got the hops man. Then today I balled in the morning ... did pretty well throughout the day. The last game was my best though ... I had a bit of the feeling of taking over the game in some spurts. I think I got about 6 or 8 points in that game alone ... woohoo. I'll just work on my game a lil bit and then it's over. Aight I'm out

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I really should get to sleep earlier now ... cuz it's going to be FUCKING hell next week when I'm going to have to wake up at 6 or 5:30 or something early like that. Last night I slept at 1 ... argh. I hate when I do shit like that. Ah wellz, it summer, at least I still got 8 hours of sleep. Oh yeah, what do you think of me w/o glasses? I use glasses now only when I'm playing videogames at Chui's place, sometimes when I'm playing ball, prolly when I play pool, and when macking so I can see the chick's face for better eye contact (since I can see her eyes better). But I'm thinking glasses puts a lil block b/w people y'know ... it's better to have eye contact w/o glasses but I can't do that cuz it's a bit too blurry and I can't see the girl in crystal clear detail. Hmm, yeah so tell me how I look w/o glasses aight peoples? My sister says I don't look great without glasses but she says that's prolly just used to me with glasses so much. Oh and one more thing ... I'm reverting back to the prep look since I'm going to get a haircut today or tomorrow. Then two or three weeks after that when my hair grows out again, bang, here comes the mussed up look again. I'm out ... what should I do today?

Sunday, June 23, 2002

As for my day ... aight I woke up yadda yadda. Then today was Mrs. Espinosa's farewell mass thing so I attended that and the after-party. Yadda yadda, etc etc. There, I talk to this Mrs. Lee about her son planning to go to Regis, etc, and I also fulfrill my approach quota for the day by approaching Joana. Oh, it was horrible.
Scenario: St. Michael's Gym but with like 5 or 6 other people around the chosen approach girl. I took a seat one seat away from her since this girl was b/w Joana and me. Time for the humility to flow ...

Chick’s Name: Joana

Before You Approach
Eye Contact: 0.0 - None whatsoever

During Approach
Eye Contact: .5 - Very minimal eye contact since we were a bit far from each other I'd say
Clarity & Posture: 3.0 - I was clear but spoke fast sometimes
Kino: 0.0 - Didn't touch her at all. Horrible
Humor: 0.0 - Didn't get to laugh together about anything
Closing: .5 - Said goodbye, smiled, and that was it.

Total: That makes for a grand total of ... 4.0!!! YEAAAAH! lol That sucked big time.

I'm really out of approaching practice cuz damn just look at my score. You shoulda seen me before teh approach ... I literally felt sick to my stomach, almost like I was about to hurl chunks. lol I got through it though ... it wasn't like it was life-killing or anything. I'm glad I did that, at least I reestablished convo with the gal so next tiem I could talk more freely when there are less freaking people around.

After that I helped Chui and his parents bring their new AC to their house, and then we played some NBA 2k2 (the chua bros and I, not heir parents lol). Chui and I kicked ass today w/ the nets ... and Kobe is too freaking good in that game. After that I went home, and here I am. Woohoo. OH yeah, one more thing ... there's this kook who's bothering me ... just im'ed me outta the blue and didn't want to tlel me his/her name. Ah fuck it, some kook trying to mess w/ my mind. I'm out
F! THIS SHIT! Aight I'll just put a link to the quasi-page that contains the three pix. I call it a quasi page cuz it's not really much more than the three pix I put on it. In fact it IS nothing more than the three pics i put on it. The original purpose of the page was for me to link to the links in them, but that didn't work. Plain BS man ...
AAAH crap. When I finally was able to upload all my pix to my other page, thye can't show up on the side of my blog as I wanted them to. Eh. Aight so I'll post em here before my daily review:


Saturday, June 22, 2002

Sup ... lol you had to be here. Aight, so after dinner my dad and I went and bought an air circulator for the living room. He went to fix the lock on the side door while my assignment was to assemble the fan. I thought, "Oh this shit is going to take two seconds." Boy was I wrong! lol Aight, so I check all the stuff, etc. And then the instructions say to take out 5 nuts and screws, and there were 8 so I just took out the 4 middle screws and one outside nut. then when I tried to attach the upper extension part it wouldn't go so I thought, "Damn instructions, I have to take out all of the nuts and screws. So I took out all of em and after the last one was released I heard a thud. I look under the base and there I see a heavy weight and a metal thing. Ah shit I broke the damn thing. Then I spent the next 20 some odd minutes aligning the damn holes for the nuts to be reattached, and then my sister points out to me that the instructions said to remove the 5 OUTER ones. It was a misprint .... ARGH! So I finally get the nuts in, attach the tops, and then fix up the fan. I'm about to start it up but then I realize the tops part is wiggling around. ARGH! Finally my dad finishes up with the lock and tightens the nuts on the fan, so there we go. That was my humbling first experience as a handyman. lol
Sup. Well this sucks ... I bought some more $1 batteries and this time around they didn't last 60 seconds in the digital camera. Argh. I'll call up my mom to see if she can buy me a couple. Hmm, well today was a really good day. Let's see ... I woke up kinda late, but ah wellz. After getting ready, I went to play ball and bang it felt good today. I felt spurts of taking over the game at times but I'm not at that level yet. In addition my jumper was pretty damn consistent today ...yeah! I was prolly shooting 60 or 50% from the field on jumpers, but my driving needs work again. I used to be the man at driving ... now I'm a bit hesitant. I'll work on it. After that I chilled at Leo's place for a while ... then ate lunch at Tapioca. Oh man, I ordered medium spicy chicken, and oh man. I wasn't prepared for that shit. I thought I could handle medium since medium spicy cuttle fish balls are ok, but damn man. That chicken KILLED me. I was literally tearing because it was so hot. lol However, I'm not going to say it wasn't good, it was good, but just too damn spicy. lol I'm such a buh-he at times. Hmm and I didn't feel like approaching today since it's too damn hot and also I had too much with me. But man, tomorrow I'm going to have a whole freaking ton of time to kill until Leo's b-day party so I'm definitely going to go out and mack. No way I'm going to stay cooped up for 7 hours man, I wanna talk to some girls. I dunno, what should my aim be ... befriending girls or macking? Well I guess I could befriend em to increase my web of connections, but I want some ass. Hmmm, yeah it's macking, definitely macking. I just thought something up ... where the hell did the term macking come from??? It's such a strange word ... I dunno.

Friday, June 21, 2002

Oh man ... I checked my dodawavemon e-mail account and oh shit I had 340 e-mails! lol
Aight sup. Tomorrow I'mma get the pics up definitely ... cuz today I was taking the pix but the digital camera sucks the life outta batteries like nuttin. The damn thing was on maybe 20 minutes max and it went dead. Maybe I shouldn't buy the one dollar batteries then ... I dunno. But I've got some nice pix taken of myself in a freeze or two ... hmm and tomorrow I've gotta get an approach or two in to challenge my approach hi-score. I think that one will be pretty easy to beat, cuz I mean a freaking 11.5 is pretty damn low. Aight I'm out
Aight as you can see on the left, I have added shit. I've added some b-boying info, and I've also added my present hi-score in approaches. Now I've just gotta buy some batteries so I can upload some pics of myself with my digital camera. Aight ... oh yeah. Lemme talk about yesterday. So we went to the place for the orientation, and there were quite a few cuties there. That girl i saw from last time who I thought was cute was there again ... I didn't talk to her this time but whatever. I wanted to, but then later Chui said she's older than I was. I thought she was 17, 18 max. Very cute girl. Aight ... oh yeah so they gave us some lecture shit about our paychecks yadda yadda this is a privilege yadda yadda. Then the director, Anna Lopez, talked. LOL That shit was hilarious cuz she was mean one second, then angry the next, all the while you couldn't understand one freaking word she was saying cuz of her really strong accent. Next guy up was the camp representative, who gave a lil speech about what the camp does, etc. And here's a lil list of the variety of activities along w/ some of my comment about them:
Sports - well there better be some sports if it's a summer day camp dammit
Swimming - Woohoo, hopefully I have some cute female coworkers
Arts & Crafts - eh, I'm not the artsy fartsy type y'know
Indoor Gym - Two words come to mind: Indoor Basketball
Bowling each week - Aw hell yeah, I'm going to become a bowling fiend
Circus - Clowns scare meee ... lol j/p
Magic - If I can learn a trick or two that'll be the shit
Carnivals - Fun
Trips - Nice
Weekly First-Run Movies - AAAAAAAWWW HELL YEEEEAH!!!
Video Games - Woohoo
Double Dare Game Show - One thought: Chui getting gakked. LOL
Tremendous Special Events - Oooooook
Wild & Wacky Game Show - Huh!?
Music - YEEEAH!
Dance - Aww yeah! Time to break out baby!
Small Groups - I'm going to have to take care of a group of tykes. Ah wellz, as long as they're not whiny-ass pricks.
Lunch - Noooooo, really!?
Snack - eh
Free T-shirt - with a print of the summer camp's name blasted right across the front and back ... no thank you. lol

Aight so that's what the flyer says. I have orientation both thurs and fri next week ... so hopefully this summer job experience will be hella fun. I'm out

Thursday, June 20, 2002

Ah crap I just went on an erasing spree since I thought someone was going to read this blog. lol Anyways, I'm ok now. NOw I know not to even think of hooking up w/ friends. It'll cause too much disruption. Aight, so heregoes. blah blah, I'm tired right now ... hmm I'm going to be working at Creative Day Camp which sounds pretty fun. I'll elaborate tomorrow on it ... I'm fucking tired cuz of this chatroom I'm in w/ Irrish, Erika, Eben, and Chui. It's pretty dumb. It's utter stupidity makes my head hurt. I'm getting sleepy right now b/c of it's utter shitty immaturity. And it's kinda pathetic how Irrish believes that people actually like when she starts dissing them out. For no freaking reason. And she also mistakenly believes that she's mature. I don't know but I'd say she not. But I'm not hating on anyone ... she just got me fucking pissed. Then the girls talked about all these shitty prissy things ... like nails, getting waxed, aw fuck my IQ prolly got lowered like ten points from this utter waste of time. Peace
Aight and in case you're confused, I'll make an example of my rating system. Hmm, when was the last time I ... aight I'll rate my convo with Erika since she was the last girl I talked to.

Chick’s Name: Erika
Before You Approach
Eye Contact: 4.0; b/c I didn't recognize her in her uniform and she's the one who approached me to talk

During Approach
Eye Contact: 3.5; b/c I didn't keep as much eye contact as I should have
Clarity & Posture: 5.0; I don't think I stuttered at all, but the convo at times was a bit dry
Kino: 2.0; Hugs, bout it. I should have stroked her hair a bit when I mentioned her hair.
Humor: 1.0; I said nothing funny, but we did laugh over some stuff
Closing: 0.0; We hugged again, but I didn't ask to chill. Horrible close, never leave shit for next time cuz you don't know if there will be a next time.

Total: 11.5/36.0; Ewwww. Bad bad score. I can improve though.
Oh hey. I'm going to take out smile from before you approach and add in closing to during approach. Cuz if I smile I get an automatic 6.0 so that's not really a good scale topic. Hmm well today my plan is follows: help my dad with some stuff in the backyard (he's starting to build a deck, he's a handyman like that), pick up my sis, eat, then go to the orientation for my job. I got the rejection letter from the other job yesterday so there's nothing to worry about. Aight I'm out peace.

Wednesday, June 19, 2002

Well today was a good day. Let's see here ... tonight we ate at Wendy's cuz my mom came home a bit late. After dinner, we drove home and then my dad dusted off the old bikes and we pumped up the wheels, cleaned the bikes up and I was able to ride around the neighborhood for the first time in a long while. Ahhh, it's refreshing ... nighttime, 9 o'clock, riding through the cool air ... ahhh. Hmm, and oh yeah, I've decided to make my approaches as scientific as possible. Meaning I'm going to depend on one basic approach.
"Hi, where you headed?"
blah blah
"(some response, hopefully humorous)"
blah blah
"Hey I didn't get your name ... "
says her name
"Hi (name), I'm John. (handshake for some mild kino)"
blah blah
"Okay (name), it's been nice talking to you but I've gotta get going. Let me get your number ... so we can talk again"

Bang there you go. Sometimes I'll add in some comment/question about something their wearing if it's really funky or unique. Oh, and after pretty decent approaches I'm going to start using index cards that I've made. This is bascially what they say:

Chick’s Name:

Before You Approach
Eye Contact:
Smile:

During Approach
Eye Contact:
Clarity & Posture:
Kino:
Humor:

Total:

What I do is grade myself from 0.0 to 6.0 Olympic style for a max total of 36. This way, when I approach I can figure out what my weaknesses are, etc. And when I have successful pickups I can even write notes about the girl on the back of the index card. Kickass eh? Aight I'm out.
Well, I've decided I'm going to keep the mussed up look. Now I wonder how I'll maintain it ... perhaps I'll take a pic of myself and then I can bring it to the barber so she can determine the appropriate length for my hair to be fashioned that way. Y'know, thinking about how I was 6 months ago ... oh man. I'm really happy with myself. I'm not down about my love life, my muscles are getting nice, I have manly breasts (lol), if I work at it I can obtain a six-pack, and same goes for getting a girl. And now I don't look to deeply into things .. for example, if I talked to a girl and she gave me some nonverbal signs, I'd be like ... oh man, what should I do? Does she like me? blah blah blah. Enough of that BS. Don't think man, just act in love matters. Thinking makes you an idiot.

Now on to my day. Woke up, and I felt maaaaaad tired. I'm still sore from my workout yesterday. My biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders, and abs are killing me. I attend Jenny's Aquinas Project presentation on slavery, but I'm five minutes late so I miss Jenny's poem. Ah wellz. After that everything was still closed so I coulnd't play pool ... argh. So I just chill, pick up my sis, eat lunch, cill at Chui's joint, and bang here I am. I'm still tired. Tomorrow I'll talk to some of the girls from the program so perhaps I can get a number or two if I see someone cute. Oh yeah, and that merengue video thing ... oh man it's mad hard. They literally go from introducing a new move one second to doing fancy shit all over the place. I'll try a bit of it tomorrow morning though. I gotta get to bed early tonight cuz I'm pretty tired. I'm out.

Tuesday, June 18, 2002

Hmm, I'm thinkin bout getting my digital camera, uploading my pic to the net, and then having my lovely mug plastered right onto the left side of the screen of my blog. Whaddya think?
Okay, well I've got a few things to touch base on. First things first, I went to the library to return one of my dad's books and guess what I find? An exercise video that has a section that teaches you the basic steps of merengue, salsa, and the cha-cha! Is this freaking crazy or what!?! lol Hmm, oh yeah I also got the call from the job of their acceptance. Woohoo. Aight, next on the agenda is that I just finished watching Thirteen Ghosts. Decent movie ... and Chui, the only nudity in it was the dead girl that showed her breasts. Geez. lol Onwards and upwards, as my math teacher says. Hmm now for the big part of the post: my metanoia of my social life with females.

Okay, Chui has a post similar to this declaring that he's found most of his female friends by being introduced to them and not approaching them etc. He says he's been too shy, wants to improve, etc. Well here's my thoughts about my own social life w/ females:

Aight, first of all I'm shy some of the time and that's not a good thing. Sometimes I don't feel motivated, and that's why I haven't done an approach in the past, what? 3 weeks? This is bullshit man. I'm going back to approaching a few times a week so I cna pick up my skills. As for female friends ... I basically have acquaintances. No close female friend. I'm fine with that though, it's not like I'll be hanging out with a band of chicks doing girl shit. For hanging out, I prefer the boys. For banging, I'm straight all the way. Now lets see here ... one of my aims this summer is to get a chick. To obtain this I have devised this plan which I can follow:

1. Next time I see Joana or Erika, talk, blah blah and then ask them why we never hungout/hang out anymore, and then ask em to chill. Doing so is an improvement b/c I rarely hang out with girls first of all, and I can work my flirting shit without pressure cuz these are girls I sorta know and I can just relax mostly. If I like either of em better and want to chill more, then good. If one of them develops into a relationship, then so be it. If not, then I'll still be doing part II along the way.

2. While I'm polishing up my skills, I'll be approaching girls like crazy, and I must remember that I'm to become the outgoing, extorverted type. Whenever I make eye contact with a cute girl, smile baby, smile. Aight? Good.

3. From those numerous approaches, I'll get myself some numbers. No more shitty e-mails ... numbers all the way. I'll try the e-mail w/ number approach some time. Yeah, I gotta fine tune my pickup. Usually my problem is that I try to make it different each time, but what I gotta do is just fine-tune my approach, see what works, what doesn't, and then I'll be set.

4. From those numbers get a date, see if I'm compatible, and there I go.

Aight, I'mma start phases 1 and 2 tomorrow, and let's see how well I do. Ready to rumble
Hmm, maybe later I'll feel energetic enough to upload a pic of myself onto this lil bloggo here.
Sup. Well I came back from picking up my sis and in the schoolyard before my sis came out was Erika. Oh man, she has grown pretty damn cute. She's cleared up her face and she's got a cute lil body. Well anyways we talked a bit and stuff. She doesn't know how to dance merengue and salsa well so she can't teach me. Maybe I'll ask Kris ... or perhaps I should just work on my b-boying. I'll see. So anyways she looked cute in her uniform. Mmm. lol Hopefully I'll see her tomorrow, ask her to chill sometime. I'mma be out right now cuz I have to return one of my dad's books to the library. lol Oh and I just remembered. Didn't I say I was going to have some conversations with cute girls? Well there you go. lol I still have to work a bit on my conversing though, it was a bit rough at times but whatever. And today I noticed that Erika has the strangest natural hair I've ever seen. It's dirty blond, mixed with brown, mixed with black, mixed with red. Crazy ass shit eh? Anyways, another thing before I picked up my sis was this car full of crazy South Koreans cheering and honking their horns like crazy cuz their team had defeated the Italians in the World Cup tourney. I was a bit confused at first but then I saw the flag and the soccer ball, so I went home and check up on the World Cup and figured it out. Hmm, and oh yeah. I d/led the absolutely best game ever for the pc yesterday. GORILLA! Woohoo. Basically what it is is you take control of a stationary gorilla atop of a city skyline. It is equipped with explosive bananas and you use em to kill another gorilla. Simple right? But the catch is this: you gotta calculate the correct angle and velocity along with taking into account the wind speed to successfully bomb the opponent. Simple but addictiing. If Chui d/ls this I'mma kick his ass. Oh and I gotta correct my quote for when I feel motivated; it's actually "Ready to rumble." Aight I'm out

Monday, June 17, 2002

Today was a decent day ... in the morning I played ball, ate lunch at Chui's, played some videogames for a while, went to the library to pick up a book, and here I am. The portion of the leg behind my left knee is bothering me ... that's not a good thing. Hmm, so anyways, tomorrow I'll try to go for some conversations with some girls. I had some opportunities today, but I'm rusty. I'll get my shit together.
All right peoples. I'm going to try to not use my glasses this whole week. The only times I'll permit myself to use em is when I'm looking at some menu that I need glasses for like at Tapioca Express or McDonald's, perhaps when I'm playing ball, and I'll prolly need em when playing pool. Besides that I don't see any need to use my glasses a lot. Today's plan: go play some ball with the two older Chua bros, then I'll prolly eat out. After eating out I'll visit the library and get some books cuz I get mad bored at night and I don't always want to be playing videogames or surfing the net. Well that's about it. Paz

Sunday, June 16, 2002

Ha, I got a 7 on that Alie test thing, and I guessed on half of em.
Aight today was a pretty good day. After tinkering with the old bloggo, I went to church and saw Sanchez there again. She's got a nice smile. Hmm ... you know it is very rare for a person to look ugly while smiling. Smiling is probably the best thing a person can do to make themself appear more attractive. Well anyways, oh yeah I tried out the mussed up hair look today. I, personally, kinda like it. After mass, I played a bit of ball against this varsity dude one on one, and got slaughtered. I hung on til when it was about 16-13, and then he went on a run to finish the game. i felt a bit sluggish today. But guess what? I CAN TOUCH RIM NOW!!!!!! It's freaking crazy. I dunno if I can touch rim with the ball though ... I gotta vert train a bit more and I'll dunk soon enough. Then I practiced a bit more and the big old black dude came again to teach me a bit more about playing hoops. It turns out I suck pretty badly with my left hand, so I gotta develop that a bit more. It started to rain so I went home. After dinner we watched the movie from the Philippines that had the wedding of my cousin and the family reunion. The wedding was nice, and the family reunion feautred some strange games. One game was a normal one, a second had you hang a stick on a string wrapped around your waist, and without using your hands you had to guide the stick into empty bottles of beer. The last game took the cake though. It was basically a game based on musical chairs, but instead of chairs the girls had to grab cucumbers that the guys held between their legs. LOL Yep, that's my family for ya. I'm out peace
I just spent the last hour having some fun with my blog. As you can see to the left, I had too much fun.
And oh yeah! There's this new Blog of Note called "The Date Project". That is what this blog was supposed to be, except that I post a lot of nonsense shit, and that I haven't tried to pick up girls in a while. lol
Oh yeah, here's my blog from yesterday that I wasn't able to post:

Woooooo! Today rocked. Aight, so I woke up, yadda yadda, and then breakdanced a bit. Damn I suck now ... over the summer I gotta get my skills back up to par. I can’t even do the shoulder freeze lol. After that I exercised a bit lifting weights and clumsy ole me tripped on the dumbell on the floor and my right ankle got hurt. That didn’t stop me from playing a lil ball though, and then the two older Chua bros and I went with Ms Virginia to eat out. She treated us to a lunch at the NY Buffet. Mmmmm. I was freaking stuffed. I’m still freaking stuffed. After three of us finished eating, the adults that came with us were still munching away so the three of us decided to play chinese poker and whomever was the loser with the most cards left would have to eat that many pieces of lemon jello. So we laughed and agreed upon that. Chui ended up eating 8 pieces total, I ate 7 pieces total, and Leo ate 4. lol After that we came back to Flushing, and then went to Tapioca Express to chill. There we played more and this time the loser w/ the most cards would have to call up a random person on Chui’s cell and say something stupid. I lost the first game and so I called up Chui’s friend Angela and said, “Hello, this is John Reyes. I’m going to be a pornstar!” lol Leo lost the next one and he got the wrong number but he still said, “Hey this is Leo, you’ve got big tits!” to this older lady he said. Chui didn’t los though so he didn’t have to do anything. Lucky bum. I went home post-game, and upon arrriving I was greeted by a spectacular report card. I got my first Honors card for the third tri (!!!!!!!!!) and all my final grades except for Spanish were honors (spanish was a merit). Damn I kicked ass. Aight I’m out. Damn I’m still stuffed. lol

Thursday, June 13, 2002

Well today was a pretty decent day. I cleaned the car and van in the morning, ate lunch and then played some ball. today I did ok ... my shot was off on some games, and my passing wasn't as crisp as it usually is. Ah wellz, overall a good day still. Tomorrow I have an appt in the morning and then I'm going to go watch some movies. I'll probably check out the Bourne Identity and one other movie, wchich will prolly be Undercover Brother.
Well, yesterday was a pretty damn good day. I woke up, went to my hearing test with no setbacks, and then went for my eye test. The doctor was an ass though so I wasted an hour and 3/4 there for nothing and now I have to reschedule the damn thing. After that, I played some ball, practicing and improving my shot again. I picked up my sis, and then played some more ball, this time with Chui and his bros. When we played two on two, Leo and I vs Chui and Nestor, we dominated. I was shooting my outside practiced shot really well, and I made about 4 or 5 points out of our 11. Woohoo. Then it started to rain so we went to Tapioca Express to chill and play Chinese Poker. Very fun game.

And hot diggety damn! Perpetuous Dreamer's song, "The Sound of Goodbye" (Vocal Mix) is maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad hot. Sleek and nice beat. Sometimes .... the sooooooooooound of goodbye ... is louder ... than any drumbeat. Woo!
I am definiitely not qualified to complete the rigorous exercise routine I stated here earlier. It's been two days since my first shot improvement workout, and my left quad right near the groin is still sore. Hmmm and yes, I think I'm officially cured from the insomniacitis. I can sleep now, and early to boot. I slept at around 11 last night and woke up 7:45. Nice eh? My aims for today: go to my two doctor's appointments, breakdance a bit when I get home, and if I see a good opportunity talk to some girls. Aight good stuff.

Whooooa. The car that Chui wants when he gets his license is pretty sweet.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder
Mad nice eh? I wouldn't mind if I got that car for my graduation present. :) But if I had to buy a car, I wouldn't buy these mad expensive 23,000 dollar vehicles. I'd get a cheap ass 12,000 dollar car, save myself 11 grand, and bang that's several months rent right there baby.
Well today was a pretty good day. I totally cleaned the house, and did a pretty damn good job of it too. After eating lunch, I went to buy my ball and pick up my sis and that was my day. Nothing special ... I would've breakdanced but as said earlier I'm a bit sore from yesterday. I like my new ball ... hopefully it'll last for quite a long time. Okay, let me make sure I have my goals down fro the summer:
1. Work
2. Improve my b-boying and b-ballin skills and get a six pack
3. Read some books, improve vocab and brush up on the espanol.
4. Get a gf
Yeah, I think that about sums up my major aims this summer. Well it's all good I'm out
Whoop de doo. lol Well my job today is to clean the house and then buy my new b-ball and pick up my sis. Hmmm, I can't b-boy today cuz my leg muscles (especially my left gluteus maximus muscle) are killing me. ANd guess what? I got 9 hours of sleep last night cuz I slept at 11:30!!!! I'm not a member of the one o' clock club anymore! Woohoo.

Monday, June 10, 2002

Well today was a pretty damn good dya. I woke up, got ready, and then went to improve my shooting. I learned that to get the outside jumpers, you gotta use your full strength of the calf muscles or else the shot is giogn to fall short. I was able to improve my driving too, cuz now I know how to do my crossover more effectively. My driving with my left hand is getting pretty effective. Hmm, today I played one on one against Chui and lost 11-9. Respectable numbers. Hmm, then Chui, Leo, and I had free throw contests and Chui won that 10 wins to my 9 to Leo's 8. It was the first to ten, and Chui won after being up 7-3-3 and then letting us com9ing back. After that we played two on two in some pretty decent games, and then I went to pick up my sis. My ball got a hole in it so now I have to buy a new one. While playing, Chui and I banged heads, and now I have a monster headache. I think it's cuz that spot was the same spot I took the hard hit while playing football on Quest.

Okay. Well today was an ok day. I woke up, felt a bit sore from ping pong and a lil b-ball yesterday, but I still went to play ball anyways. I arrive and play. Today my game was ok ... I was rebounding a bit better now cuz of my vert training, and my passing was actually pretty damn decent considering I haven't been playing point for a while. However, my shot was not doing great today, and I was prolly around 33 FG %. Then came the last game. Oh let me tell you, I had a decent game. I had to guard Chui though, who was going easy on me some of the time I think, and then was a monster when he went fully into the post. I felt like Aaron Williams guarding Shaq. So anyways, it was me, this 6'around6" black dude, an asian guy who attempts the craziest fadeaway shots, and Dennis vs Chui, this other black dude who was about 6'1", an asian guy who's a good overall player, and an asian PG type who had nice handles. Damn we got slaughtered, something like 16-7. Then the tall black dude just gives up and leaves. I overhear him saying to his friend about how I sucked and just stood around. Well what the fuck. I would've confronted him if he wasn't twice my size lol. I've been keeping this inside me the whole day, and it's time to let fucking loose babe. Aight, hmm, where should I start? Okay, for one, a guy 5 inches shorter than him was guarding him, and he kept on still fucking missing the shots when I passed into him low in the post. Second, I was tapping out rebounds to other players and on one play I even got my own missed shot and passed it to the fucker for the attempted layup which he missed. Third, he didn't play fucking D worth a shit. His man who was a good 6 inches shorter than him kept on getting good position in the post and made tons of layups. At least when Chui powered his way in, I had an excuse cuz Chui has a good what? 50 lbs on me? He's a monster lol. Oh yeah, and fourth, I stood around the foul line at times cuz dammit, I was FUCKING OPEN AND HE DIDN'T PASS THE FUCKING BALL. Geez, some people.
I never, NEVER felt so disrespected in my life. I pride myself in improving myself, and that's what I'll do then. I never want shit like that to happen again. I'm going to work on my handles, my outside jumper, and my driving so I'm going to become an offensive juggernaut. I never want a fucking shithead like that bitch to say shit about me again.

(sigh) End of rant. :) lol So anyways, if I'm to improve my offense, then I guess I'll have to practice like everyday or at least every other day. Hmm. Oh crap, and I want to improve my b-boying too ... argh I have to many things I want to practice. Okay, I think I'll make it on Mondays I'll practice my b-ball, on Tuesdays I'll practice b-boying, on Wednesdays I'll weightlift, on Thursdays I'll ball again, Fridays I'll do whatever, Saturdays I'll ball, and Sundays I'll take off for sure. I dunno, something like that. Today I had signs of good outside jumper cuz b/w games I was hitting outside Js like crazy. I was saying, "BIBBY!" and then shooting the shot. When I made it in I would do that crazy Bibby face after he hits a big shot. lol But I gotta learn how to shoot well at game speed cuz that's my problem. When I'm just shooting around I can hit shots but during games I can't hit shots. Inside shots are easy though, it's the outside ones that I have probs with. (yawn) I'm getting tired, I'm out. Phew, good thing I'm done with that rant, I'm much relieved.

Oh yeah, and one more thing. Right now I'm glad that the NBA is going to move from NBC to whatever other channel it's going to. My reason? I want that freaking idiot Bill Walton to shut the fuck up. He's an idiot. He says idiotic shit like, "Now THAT is a rebound!" when Shaq gets a normal freaking rebound. He's an idiot.
This is fucking BS. FUCKING BS I TELL YOU!!! I'm watching the game right now and the f'ing referees aren't giving the Nets ANY calls when Shaq and Fisher are running around bowling over people. Fucking BS. The Nets are never going to win when they're going on runs and the refs kill em with their frigging non-calls. ARGH. Ah wellz
Schoooooooooool's OUT for summer!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAW! lol There's my cowboy stuff coming out again. y'know, I'm like a conglomerate of many different kinds of people. Whoaaaaa, SAT word. Dude! lol First, I'm a prep cuz I go to a school where are a lot of the guys are preppy types. Second, I'm sort of the urban character type cuz I listen to rap and sometimes speak that way but not too the extreme shit like: "Yo sup my nigga. I was hangin in my dog's crib the other day, smoking some lala." lol So ok, third I have the surfer dude thing cuz I like saying "Duuuuude" and "Whoooaaaaaa." lol I'm such a kook. Fourth I have the asianosity of course, cuz I look flip, have a typical flip family, and dammit, I ahve a "got rice?" t-shirt. lol Right now my arm hurts. Oh woe is me. lol It is just sore cuz it was my first time to play ping pong today and when you're going for the finesse it puts some damn strain on your forearm. Hopefully I'm ok by tomorrow cuz I want to exhibit my skills. J-Kidd is the freaking man. Stock is the man still in my eyes, but dammit, Kidd is just getting too good for me not to see how great a PG he is. Hopefully my legs are strong for tomorrow cuz I played a lil ball after the theo final today and right now I'm kinda tired. Well, anywys, school's out baby!

Monday, June 03, 2002

Well I went to bed at 1 last night finishinf up that damn chem. I did decently on the final I think, and tonight i have to study like crazy for the Spanish final tomorrow. This week is going to be pretty good after tomorrow cuz I don't need to worry too much about math, and as for theo, who cares eh? I'll just study a lil bit for both but not go all out like for chem and spanish. And thank God I have Thursday off. Phew. That means I can watch the Nets-Lakers game.

Sunday, June 02, 2002

Those damn Lakers won again. Argh. Ah wellz, it was a great game though; it even went into overtime. Webber finally took on Shaq on the defensive end, and he did a damn fine job of guarding him without getting fouls. But in the end, the Lakers prevailed cuz the Kings couldn't get their shots to fall. I watched the end of the second quarter, and then from 9 minutes left in the 4th to the end of the game. I started studying my chem at about 6, and I'm not done yet. I have 8 pages worth of notes left to go over, and then I'm finally done. Woohoo. Aight I'm out.
I am losing so much sleep it's not funny. I'm sleeping at 1 or 2 consistently now, and that sucks big time. I need ot train my biological clock to get back to around 11. Shitballos. Anyways, today I woke up at 9:30, blah blah, ate at that new flatbread grilled chicken thing at McDonald's today (yum), and then went to mass. NOthing much happened, but I did see Joana and Alex today. Damn yo, one of these I should get that girl's number. She's pretty cute, no ass, but still decent. And my worst fear has happened: I still find Joana cute. AAAAAAAH NOOOOOO!!! lol Hmm, and oh yeah Chui, Leo, and I have decided that our social goal this summer is to form an asian posse. Our plan is the following: one of us gets an asian gf, get her friends to chill with us, and bang. Asian posse easily formed. Now we just gotta figure out who's gonna get the azn gf. Well I've decided to take this week off from DJ Boot Camp b/c I really gotta study for the finals this week. If I come across a chance at talking to a girl I'll take it though. I'm not following the DJ Boot Camp anymore, in fact what I'm going to do is just let it come to me. If I see a chance i'll go strike up a convo, and if the girl is responsive I'll go for the number. If not then I'll just leave. My ideal girl is cute, laughs at my jokes, isn't too serious, and isn't moody/bitchy too much. So there you go, I'm out.

Saturday, June 01, 2002

Sup, well I didn't write in a while but ah wellz. Lemme review the past few whatever. Okay, yesterday I did pretty well on the history final despite not studying for more than an hour and a half. Then I went to the library to study for the damn Chem SAT II, and then went to the job interview. I went with Chui, Leo, and Eben and we arrived around 4:45. Guess what time we left? About 6:45. Yep. Damn boring. And they didn't even interview us dammit. All they did was make us fill out some stuff and then gave us our fakeass temporary IDs. And oh yeah, there was this one cute chick who gave us our application stuff. She even laughed at some thigns I said. Hmm, so then after that I felt mad tired but I had to still study for that damn CHem SAT II. I ate dinner, started to study and then I had to start doing that crap. Well I was able to survive a couple of hours of that crap, but then around 10 o'clock I started to feel literally sick. I felt like puking at the thought of starting to study more chem. So I just gave up on that crap and watched the rest of the Laker-King game. Damn, those Lakers won again. So today I went for the SAT IIs, and oh my god. The amount of hot/cute girls there was ... a lot. I took the SAT IIs, did ok on them, and went home to eat. Then I went on the bus to go to Chui's place (where I'm writing this presently), and on the bus I talk to this junior that had just taken the SAT. We talked a bit, but I didn't ask for her number. And that was about it for today so far. Right now I'm going to get a haircut and then probably I will play some pool and see how good Chui's cousins are at pool.
