Here it is! After reorganizing my finances and weeks of
consideration, i've decided to get it!. My car on the otherhand
is actually not the color in the above pic, but this color
below showing the rear view.
Although this is gonna cost me an arm and a leg, my trusty old Nissan
Sentra has been through a lot and I'll continue to be driving the
Sentra as my standard commuter car.
Pretty unexpected huh? well, you'll be seeing me around in this
hopefully soon enough. If not, then people need to get a hold of
me again and we probably have tons to catch up on!
Reminds me, I was talking with a friend of mine and we had a pretty serious
discussion a month or so back about going out and enjoying life again
like the old days. Both of us were victims of addictive video
games and hermitted ourselves in front of our computers for months and
months! Finally when are video game addiction ends, we find we
have so much time on our hands, and don't know what to do with
it! The resolution - make up all the lost relationships that were
worthy, but just drifted over time. This usually means going out
more and hanging out more, but most of my peers are just settling into
the real world and finding work and whatnot.
Hanging around with good people has changed the way I was from my old
yangachi days back in high school to my honest gatherings with church
family being the workaholic I am staying at the office til the late
night or the early morning. A lot of times a good percentage of
those I meet I don't feel really see as good influence, and i've even
at times considered just not meeting any new people as I was content
with all the people I already knew. But again, I realized that
there are just so many people in the world that it's unfair not to give
everyone a chance.
Speaking of that, anyone planning a trip to so cali anytime soon?

| Alright, i'm not playing this game, but gonna be talking about
it. This game actually has more girls playing it than guys.
What is it in this game that makes girls play it more? That leads
to the topic of gamer girls.
Are they really into the game as guys get? I had a theory that a
lot of "gamer girls" are just attention freaks and play video games
just so other nerdy video games will like them. There's those
girls that go to the guy game hangout places, and act as if they're
"one of the guys". I don't know a lot of times that annoys
me. They really know nothing and don't really care about the
game, but know that they'll get all the attention from the nerdy game
geeks. I dunno I can get really mean, so i'll just stay
quiet. On the otherside, a girl that's into a game as much as I
am is automatically HOT!!
Okay.... to change the topic a bit.. how Korean Dramas corrupt your mind!!!
First of all, korean dramas spoil it for the rest of the guys. In
the dramas, the guy always does some crazy unbelievable stunt, and all
the girls think that's so romantic and that's what guys should do for
girls. So in reality, when a guy does something he went
completely out of his way, it isn't as amazing as giving the girl his
eyes, so she can see again, so these days girls take the hard work guys
do for granted and don't consider any of that as very caring.
Next, korean dramas are like pringles. Once you pop, you can't
stop! No matter how stupid the series is, they'll end each
episode at the climax of the plot, making you wonder what happens
next. The perfect time to turn it off is in the middle of the
episode after one problem's been resolved and before the next one
arises.
Lastly, they're all the same!!!! One girl, she has some disease,
her best friend likes the same guy. The guy's rich, but has a
poor friend who likes the disease girl. There's episodes of
nothing but crying and they throw in some cool car or something to get
people's attention and in the end the rich guy and girl lose everything
while the poor guy and disease girl live happily ever after.
There's more but it's late, and I need to do something more productive...

| Okay not exactly for PlayStation, but these days I've been playing
Final Fantasy I on my PSP. This game came out 1990, and changed
the way RPGs (role-playing games) evolved. As the first
mainstream RPG video game, all others that were released, and even are
released today look back at this one for reference. I must've
beat this game a hundred times, and although the graphics sucks now and
the gameplay is so limited, it's still really fun to play.
I remember back in the early 90s, I wasn't allowed to play Nintendo, so
when my parents went somewhere, I would sneak the Nintendo out hook it
up to the TV and play my games until they returned. As soon as I
heard the car returning, I would disconnect all the chords, store the
Nintendo in the rightful location where it was before and get back to
my desk with homework out. I think I was able to fully disconnect
the game system, plug all the correct cables back in, and store the
Nintendo back where I got it in a matter of 15 seconds. Pretty
slick huh?
I was always the type of guy that trys to get away with things I wasn't
supposed to do. Why was this? I was given a lot of things I
wanted..., maybe I just enjoyed the challenge or seeing how long I can
get away with doing something before getting caught or better yet, not
getting caught at all. I don't think i'm like that anymore,
mainly cause I don't feel I need to get away with anything I shouldn't
be doing anymore, but dang now that I look back, I was a problematic
kid. I hope I never have a kid like me when I grow up!.... poor
parents...

| Okay, I'm not playing this game yet, cause my computer doesn't support
it.. Time to buy a new computer, I think im spending way too much money
these days. But yeah, any of you who's interested, this is THE next
game to make it big! I've played the demo on a friend's computer
and it's amazing. I recommend it to everyone that likes FPSes
(First Person Shooters)/Army games.
So as some of you may have heard, I've started being more
physically active with all my free time this summer. Playing
basketball and hitting some balls at the golfing range have been my 2
new hobbies. I'm pretty bad at both, but it's fun trying to learn
and hopefully improving gradually. I'm trying to bring as many
people with me on the golfing bandwagon as well, so eventually when I
do become at least decent, I'll have a bunch of people to play with, so
if you've ever been interested in golfing... NOW is the time to start!
Alright, xanga's the place to vent, so here's my 2 cents... Don't you
hate it when people flake? Either they're extremely late to
anything and everything, or they don't even show. People like to
talk, they say all sorts of crap like they'll be there, special plans,
agree to anything, then when the time comes, they're nowhere to be
found.
This infamous quote sums it all up:
"Actions speak louder than words"
Anyone can say something will happen, something will get done. I'll take care of this. etc., but true reliability and commitment lies in the actions. People need to become more DO people than SAY people.
The standard excuse is of course... "something came up".
Something always seems to come up for certain people. Why is
that? Are they really THAT busy?
I'm pretty sure I know lots of busier people who don't have half as
many sudden catastrophes that result to spoiled previous
engagements. Those that have such common misfortunes need to take
a few steps back and get their own life straight before they lag other
people's lives with them.
The worst is when you're grouped up with a flaker, so their
unreliability keeps you behind, and then everyone sees you as
unreliable as well. Well, it happens, and what can you do about
it?
Conclusion: Flakers are
bad news, and some people wonder why I never call them to hang out
anymore... (haha j/k! i don't call anyone, cause i don't ever hang out)

| - This article is too sad.... more sad as in disheartening than tragic.
http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200506/200506140037.html
I played World of Warcraft for quite some time as well. I never
really thought it was that great, but it's sad how parents can neglect
their newborn kid for their in-game night-elf paladin... but very
believable. Over the years, I've seen a lot of my friends get so
consumed by a video game, that it changed and reshaped their life
priorities and goals. To many people, the video game became their
drug, and even I admit, there have been times i've declined on
attending a real-life event for an in-game event....
Here's a screenshot from the last game I was addicted to (i quit now).
This is what I do to Thugs!
