I Suck at SF II
I should also mention one more thing - there was a kid in the arcade playing Street Fighter II - and he was SOOOO Cheap. He kept jumping with a roundhouse kick.. and throwing me. I couldn't counter it with a HaDooGen.. because i suck at that game.
Boring Day
The 29th was a pretty boring day. Went to school for 1 class.. met up with Pae at school and had lunch with him. Went to work from 3 to 12am.. 9 hours! bleh. Came home and hung around for a while.. and i should sleep now.

Speeding Ticket
What a interesting day today was.
1. I checked my credit card bill, and my cingular bill still comes out to $100 because they charged me for 2 months. The lady at customer service told me she would credit it back to my card - but maybe she meant credit it back to my account. Hm.. we'll have to see when i get my next bill i guess.
I woke up pretty late today, around 1 - and realized i had work at 2, not 2:30pm.. so i got ready and went. Worked a good 8 hours.. then i realized i had free movie rentals at blockbuster because they have this thing, where if a movie is a "Guarantee" - and they dont' have it, it's free. So last time Pae and I went to the store, they were out of "High Crimes", "Mr. Deeds", and "Insonmia" which are all Guarantee rentals. So we ended up getting free coupons for all 3 movies.
So i headed over to Torrance after work to get Pae and head over to Blockbuster. I'm doing 90mph on the freeway when i see red lights behind me. DOH! Freakin my V1 didnt' even go off - so obviously, the cop was hiding w/o his radar. This is our conversation:
"Hi Officer"
"Hello, i pulled you over cuz you were speeding"
"I was?"
"Do you know how fast you were going?"
"No idea"
"You were going 83 at a 65 zone"
"Whatever you say"
"Can i have your DL, Reg, Insurance.. etc."
Then he just wrote me up a ticket and told me to leave. Ok for one thing, this guy was a joke. He had no radar on me - so obviously he better have had his tachometer on his car calibrated. And he also thinks i was doing 83, and not 90. What an idiot. I mean.. lucky me.. but what an idiot.
So after he writes me up, and leave, and check the ticket for any errors. And not suprisingly - he put down, 2000 White Honda Accord. Err.. hahahah.. I drive a Prelude.
Knock on wood, i will go to court for this as i did for my last ticket. But it's located in Compton.. doh! Freakin big pimpin black ppl. Oh i don't know.. just when i thought things were going smoothly everyday with not much suprises to worry about, this happens. Shit happens when u least expect it... haha.. another great quote from me. (Excuse my language for those of you who are super sensitive).
I also watched "High Crimes" today at Pae's house, and it was a pretty good movie. I recommend it to ppl who like those Court movies.. or if you like the TV Show, "Law and Order" or NYPD Blue.. it's very similar with a nice twist.
I also took off my blog link from my AIM profile. I just realized how much gossip there would be available from ppl who read this. I hate gossip about me. And i write all this for myself - so the less ppl who read it the better. Actually let me rephrase that... the less big-mouth-gossip-lovers who read this the better.

Bjunkyard Down
Oh yea.. i forgot - Bronx's Junkyard has been down for 3 days now - and Jet hasn't really gotten back to me about that. I'm sorta thinking if it was the right thing to get him involved since his so busy. And since i'm not friends with Marty (the owner of the server) i can't really do much from my end.
Then again, i dont' have the cash to be spending $$ every month for a host. I don't know..

Workaholic
I lost track of the date.. bleh.
Anyhow, i think Friday - i went to work at 7am.. and stayed there for 9 hours. Came home.. Pae came over and we drove to Santa monica so he could buy a front grill for his car. We then, hung out at 3rd street for a while and watched ppl dance and make fools of themselves. Around 10pm, we cruised over to my friend Humvee's house and chilled and Pae went home around 11:30pm. Me, James and Simon cruised by to Prive to just check it out - but it was dead, and we just got some Pho and came home. I was so tired - didn't realize it until the ride back home when i just fell dead in the car.
Saturday, i woke up pretty late - went to work at 3 to 9 and went to Tapioca with Pae but ended up heading to HQ for french fries and a pitcher. We headed to Blockbuster to rent High Crimes but i was out of stock. And that movie is a guarantee - so we got a coupon that let's us watch it for free. Then we tried to rent Mr. Deeds and that was also out of stock so we got another coupon for that. And finally, we tried to watch Insomnia which was also out.. hahaha.. so now we can watch all 3 movies for free. MUHAHA!
After we went home.
During work today, it was really hectic, because 4 ppl called in sick, 1 manager took off - so we had another manager from another store come in and she didn't know what she was doing. We always need someone greeting in Room 1, and another person at the Cash Rep, and another in the fitting rooms. That's 3 ppl who can't really roam around and help customers and do Shoe checks.. from 5pm to 9pm - we had 4 ppl working and 1 manager. So it was HORRIBLE. During my 15 min. break - i had 5 ppl stop me and ask for help, so initially i didn't even have a break during my shift because i take my work too seriously.
Like some ppl would be like, "i'm on my break, get someone else to help you".. but then - i feel as if it's kinda my store and i have responsibilities to make sure all customers are being satisfied. Bleh.. maybe i'm just too nice? haha. yea riiittee peter.
Pae told me a cool quote the other day.. When your in traffic in LA it's like you in a "River of Steel flowing down the stream."
Umm.. i kinda revised his quote - but it's the same thing.
Alrite.. it's 2am - i should go to bed.

Stuffed with Taco Bell
A pretty eventful day.. let me write up a summary, then go into detail.
1. Dropped off mom at my aunt's house at 9am
2. Went to school and studied for 2 hours before my midterm.
3. Took my midterm - and found out my second class was cancelled.
4. Met Pae at my house went to AutoZone and bought Oil stuff..
5. Did my laundry.
6. Went to his house and - changed oil - rotated tires - added coolant - added washer fluid - checked tire pressure.
7. We also changed Pae's oil.. and both cars took about 2.5 hours.
8. Went to Taco bell and stuffed ourselves with cheap meat.
9. Went to watch "The Transporter"
I think i did pretty well on my midterm - but i don't want to jinx myself here.. so let's say i did really bad on it.
Pae sorta ditched class today w/o knowing.. i hope that foo is doing well on his class - cuz if his not, his in big trouble.
Laundy was interesting, cuz it took like 3 hours today. After i put it in the dryer and came back 1 hour later, it was still wet - so i was thinking to myself that someone tampered with my clothes.. However nothing was missing.. so this girl that was doing her laundry tells me the top dryer doesn't dry (it was broken).. so bleh! I put it on the lower dryer and had to wait another hour.
Changing oil was pretty fun.. i baby my car so much, doing maintenance work on it is not a task - yet a will to make it happy. Sounds retarded huh? Well as the movie transporter said,
"A person who takes care of their car, takes good care of themselves."
We were really hungry after we finished so we headed up to Taco Bell and ordered the Grande Meal wich is a combination of 10 of the following: Taco, Soft Taco or Bean Burrito. We were SO full after it was crazy.
The movie transporter was okay.. i wouldn't buy it on DVD, but it was worth the time to watch it. no regrets at all.
My manager also called me during the day and changed my schedule a bit.. gotta go to work in 6 hours. I should sleep.
After driving home, and after i got on my street, i smelled some burning oil - i bet it's from the oil that dropped from the oil filter that i forgot to wipe down. I really doubt i over filled the oil pan since my car takes in 5.25 quarts and i only put in 5 quarts. Even if it is, it'll probably be okay after i VTEC it a few more miles. My car eats so much oil!
I also got this job offer for some company.. the pay is supposed to be great, and a secret sector of the Real Estate business that nobody knows about. I got this gig from a girl i work with at BR, apparently, the owner is looking for a young asian male who is willing to solicite around to the Asian community to gain business in that estate. I don't know about it though - i have so many doubts and fears. He expects me to be able to be fluent in korean and sell our business to other korean ppl, but i don't think my korean is THAT fluent. Considering i have no knowledge or expertise in this field - i'm a bit frustrated and don't know what the right path is. I keep thinking to myself - "You miss all the shots you don't take" .... "You have to open the door when it's knocking" ... etc.. yet will i really be able to pull this one off?
The pay factor also is caused by how much business you are able to get.. and the owner told me it might take 6 months before i see some real cash flow my way. However he said if i took care of my accounts, that i would be pretty well off in the next 3 years.
Well what about BR? Do i quit now and see how this new gig works out? What do i do??? I don't know.
