Weekend Trip to Albany
The weekend at SUNY Albany was an interesting experience.
I ended up getting to Albany without knowing what public buses to take to get to campus, hoping Lauren would just be able to fill me in that morning, but she ended up waking up that morning forgetting that I was visiting this weekend. I’m glad she had to wake up for a breakfast thing that morning, ‘cause if she didn’t...

Personality Test
Syeda made me take the personality test from www.humanmetrics.com and the result says I am a “EFSJ” (Guardians/Providers).
I found the analysis from http://typelogic.com/esfj.html pretty interesting:

I Should Be Getting Ready For Tomorrow...
…but I’m addicted to looking up new/old music and album-marathon-ing.
I finally downloaded all four Michael Bublé albums and I’m going to run through them sometime tomorrow.
Right now, I’m going through the Found album by Push Play. So far, their sound is alright, but it also sounds like they’re lacking a bit. But then again, I’ve only heard the first four and...

New artist I came across tonight.
I really like his song Change.
But I can’t find his EP online anywhere…UGH. Oh, the curse of liking lesser-known artists…

Lovers In Paris
Gosh, I came home after a long day at school and two hours of SAT tutoring to find my uncle re-watching all of the old Korean drama Lovers In Paris.
This drama makes me fall in love with love all over again.
The quote Lin posted recently about people who are single is true in my case. I dream of happily ever after. I want that timeless, blissful romance. Especially because of the likes of...
Connected By Light
1/26/10 Dedicated to Cameron Mo
You and I Are not worth one constellation ‘Cause the sky’s the limit; The finale, The pause As the world recycles Names and power We’re all merely ornaments Displayed, Withdrawn Installed into our delicate shells Each light bulb burns and burns For some cause You and I Are imitations of sun-filled stars Crammed into boxes And hung loosely on walls
The Rainbow of Her Reasons
Dedicated to Cameron Mo and Salina Fu
It becomes a basic need; A thrill, a keep
With several hundred reasons Screaming whispers in your head
Go, just go Go, just go
Look back all you want But it’ll fuel you the more
So go Just go
Become the almost
Become the indefinite, Ineffable Goodbye
Become the infinite ‘What if?’ In their minds
Become the eluding, Foreboding, Forsaking triumph
And...

Here’s the list of bands that I’m looking forward to that are expected to perform as of now: -Breathe Carolina -Breathe Electric...
Parallel Play
Dedicated to Cameron Mo Today, it seems like any other day But I’m here Here to take you off your pedestal, baby So content with the reach babe You find me hard to believe I’m true when I say Get away ‘Cause I am lookin’ for a guy who Looks me in the eye to Avoid looking over shoulders And to see me shy But trying to fight The tongue-twisting ways Of a newborn style of Wanting to say something...

So Michelle and Jbang both posted up old Xanga entries. I went to mine and started rereading my old ones again. I saw the post I put up about my dream. Let me tell you, this was in ‘05. Notice the bolded part in the second paragraph. I totally freaking laughed when I saw this.

An Old Xanga Entry
In response to Mi-chan’s post about old Xanga entries, I looked back at mine and found one from the day right before starting high school at Bronx Science.
Gosh, compared to how I write online now, my cyber-writting skills back then were wack. Hahahaha.

Book Stalker
Whenever I’m on the bus or on the subway and I notice someone reading a book, I really try my best to find out what he or she is reading. Haha yes, it might seem pretty stalker-ish, but I can’t help but want to see if the book that person is reading is a book I’ve already read, or if it’s one that I’ve been wanting to read or heard of from others, or if it’s a...

Cyber Party Triggers Nostalgia
So Jade and I had a cyber party tonight and we got to the topic of bands we used to listen to back in middle school and freshman year of high school.
I started looking at my super old entries on Xanga, and I noticed some song lyrics or albums that I was listening to at the time that I forgot about and should listen to again. I just re-listened to I’m A Fool by American Hi-Fi and This Time...
It Was Inevitable
Dedicated to Cameron Mo
What a terrible loss we had at hand When you told me There was nothing for us To begin For beginnings come from endings, Which have their beginnings So shouldn’t there be something That started our end?
It’s like one of us witnessed A small, shooting star While the other one blinked And insisted no star Rejected the existence Of such trivial loss And scoffed at...

Lazy Friday Afternoon/Evening
God bless the weekends my friends! Goshers, it’s only been three days of classes but I already feel the stress of the workload slowly coming down on me. But it’s only been three days, and it’s the weekend now, so no more complaining I say!
I’m glad I get off fairly early on Fridays this semester (1:15pm), although I have to start classes at 7:40am. I got home like...
Concert Date
I just ordered two tickets to the March 26th Times Square Dashboard Confessional concert for Mi-chan and me!
Excited for this awesome-to-be concert date!
I know the rest of ya’ll are jealous! (;

In Lights →
New band, called In Lights, that I just stumbled upon before heading off to sleep. Not super catchy, but I think they have potential. Plus, some of the members are pretty cute (hooray for the Asian guitarist!).
Mmm, Myspace still has it going on when it comes to supplying lesser known artists.
I Just Finished Lars and the Real Girl...
…and it was a very strange movie.
Strange, only because the storyline was a bit strange, since the main character was in a strange crisis, so that just made the movie in general strange. But it was a good strange.
It amazed me how accepting the whole community was of Bianca, all for the sake of Lars. It made me wonder if I would have enough love and endurance to go through what the people...
