Finally A/C
I woke up early today.. ate some Ja Pa Geh Ti ramen, then finished a few things on the computer. Watched Daredevil - and went to work. After work, i went to pick up my AC, read the manual and installed it. It's running right now.. and it's pretty cool. The room seems to be a lot colder now, but i just need to install it next to the patio window, which means i'll need to buy a power extension cord.

The Roach Killer
Today wasn't that happening. I went to work in the morning with a mild hang over from all the soju. I worked until 4pm - long day, then went to the jewelers to get my bracelet fixed cuz it was too long, and they quoted me 30 bucks! I'm like wtf.. that's how much the damn bracelet cost in the first place. So i went back to the place cuz the young girl that works there is pretty coo. I told her about the situation, and she hooked it up with a 8" band that was thicker and better looking for $10 more. Not bad from my point of view.
After that, i went home and chilled around on the internet for a while and tried to watch Cradle 2 the Grave that i had downloaded.. but when i played the movie it was something else! Damn Kazaa.. ppl renamed the file and was distributing it. I ended up downloading "Life or something like it" with Angelina Jolee.. so i watched it for the heck of it - and it wasn't that bad.. she comes out very pretty in that movie.
Soon after, the guy who's selling the AC's for cheap called me and i told him i really wanted it. So i ended up dishing $400 bucks for it - and i'm going to meet him tomorrow to pick it up. Damn.. it's a reality check right now.. i started thinking about how if i really needed a AC, if i could handle living w/o one. But then sometimes it gets really hot in my room and i stomp on that idea and figure it's a good investment cuz if it doesn't work out i could always sell it or something.. then i think the resell value wouldn't be as good.. and etc.
I went to my co-worker Nancy's pad for the first time today in S. LB and it was pretty chill. I like her place, it's nice a cozy. Nancy, Carlos and I drank some wine cuz that's all she had left - listened to some music and met her neighbors. Her neighbor wouldn't' stop talking.. geez.. we chatted in the front porch for a good hour. Everytime i looked for an opportunity of an awkward silence so i could say i was going home, he would quickly change subjects and start talking again. Ahhrrr.. finally his gf came home and he went back into the house, and i left around 2am.
There is something u guys should know about my pad is that i have killed pretty much all roaches in my house. These critters are afraid of me now. I occasionally see 1 every 8 weeks or so. But the ones that used to reside in my pad were German roaches which are small and easy to kill. The American roaches that are HUGE and VERY fast only live outside. Now stay with me here - as i was about to open my door i see this black thing moving very fast towards my door from the grass area, so i freak and jump. As i stared at the black thing, i noticed it was a huge roach - so i attempted to kill it but it was too fast. So as i'm trying to kick it and step on it, it creeped half way into my screen door that leads to my patio window. I was like *$# if he gets in there, that's going to suck. That's really going to suck cuz i wouldn't be able to sleep cuz i'd be searching for it all night long. BUt luckily, either it couldn't fit into the screen door, or it just wanted to go somewhere else, so it started running towards my neighbors door.. so i'm like coo.. stomp stomp.. but it turned around and ran back to my door! @#(O$U#!!
This time though, instead of creeping under my screen door, it went under my door screen which is a huge metal door. So i couldn't see it anymore and i opened the screen, and i saw it trying to crawl under my wooden door like a crazy roach. Thankfully - my wooden door is well sealed so bugs like it can't go in. After it's failed attempt, it started racing towards me so it could go into the grassy area and hide, so i started to jump and luckily i stepped on it. And it lay there dead. DOH! i forgot to step on it twice to make sure it was dead.. i kicked it to the street thought.. i should check. Okay.. it's dead.
Now what does this story have to do with anything. Well - it sucks because i bought myself the Amcor BTU10,000 Portable AC earlier tonight for 400 bucks.. and the portable AC's have a 5" hose that needs to vent out the hot air built from the compressor, so you need to leave either a window or door open for the hot air to exit. I thought about doing that by patio window, but damn! i can't have no roaches crawling up in my joint! ROAR.. so i'm having regrets and second thoughts right now. It sucks.
It also rained today - I saw a lot of thunder aswell.
I got a cold. One night it was just too damn hot, so i went into the pool at 7pm - and the water was warm, but it was chilly outside and i think that fux0red me up. I have a stuffed nose, and i'm tired.

DUI.. Almost..
It was one freaky night today. OMG! I think i have never been so scared in my entire life. I had a lil to drink - wasn't drunk and my buzz was going away - and i was just driving home when a Civic tried to race me. So being the idiot that i am, i dusted him and was traveling about 100mph on 110S chillin and weaving in and out of traffic. (Don't get me wrong, i wasn't faded or anything - i'm a really good driver) and as i was just driving, i see a car that sorta resembles a cop car.. and right as i get 1 car lengths behind it - i see the cop lights on top of the car - so i panic and pressed on the brakes really hard. By that time, i was right next to him going 65mph. I knew what he was gonna do, which was slow down so he can get behind me, so as he slowed down, i pulled into his lane and thought about just changing all the way into the slow lane until he turned on his lights to pull me over. By this point, i had given up and thought to myself, "I'm fucked.. might as well pull over and get it over with"
I thought - "If my Blood Alcohol level was over the limit, i'm going to jail tonight"
"I remember Esther told me if i put a penny in my mouth the copper would hide my alcohol breath"
"I'm going to get a DUI, i won't be able to drive.. imma be stuck in court with fines"
"I can't make it to work next day cuz i'm in Jail"
"Another one bites the dust"
All these thoughts came into my head as i was driving with the cop on my ass. He tailed me for about 1 mile - probably checking my license plate to make sure the car wasn't stolen or with any records. My heart was pounding and i was breathing very heavily while checking my speedometer every second to make sure i was going 65mph.
To my suprise, after a mile or so, the cop pulls to the left, and drives past me. I didn't think when he did that - i was confused as to why he didn't pull me over. And then, it sink'ed in that he was being a nice guy and let me go. I will learn from this stupid mistake and NEVER EVER EVER drive fast when i had something to drink. That's just stupid. I'm competent enough to drive with a lil alcohol in me, but the chance that i get a DUI is not worth it. And that is my point.
I'm not sure - maybe he didn't see me in his rear view mirror until i got next to him.
Maybe he had no way of pulling me over cuz i was driving in a straight line at 65mph and he had no way to prove that i was going that fast other than his words.
Either way, i'm a really lucky bastard tonight.. i almost died of a heart attack. Don't do it kids.. drinking and racing don't mix! If u think it aint gonna happen to you.. guess what - the odds aren't that great.
Before all this happened, i got to meet Sujie Ha, an ex-excite@home co-worker who i was pretty close with when working there. We had our cubicles right next to each other, and we took out a few of the panels so we would be cubicle buddies. We went to shik do rak and ate some good food - then went to Nandarang and got pretty wasted. Went to no rae bang to sober up and came home.
Before that - i woke up - went to work and came home. Haha.. i'm blogging backwards, this is interesting. That's it folks!

185lbs!
I decided to go on a strict diet starting yesterday. A lot of training everyday and eating less than 1,600 calories a day for about a month and see how many lbs i can loose. I'm at 185lbs right now, gained 20lbs since i moved down to LA. I should seriously start getting back on shape.
Korean Ramen
July 25:
Woke up pretty late cuz i didn't have to work since they didn't take my On Call. So i just sat around the house.. oh no wait. I woke up damn early! I went to work to pick up my check, went to the bank, then went to Korean Market to buy some Ramen (KOrean Ramen is just BOMB!)
I came back home and got a haircut, and bought myself a locker. Then i went to work out at Bally's with James and then went to LA to check out Eric's new crib. That's all folks.

Random Weekend
July 23:
Stayed home all day i think.. and got to relax. I downloaded Road to Perdition and watched that which was not that bad. I wouldn't watch it twice though. James came over and hung out with me for a while and that's about it. Oh yeah.. i worked out and swam a lil in the pool.
July 24:
Stayed home once again and hung around the house for the most part. Went to Tapioca Express with Pae and watched the movie "Basic" at his house. That's it for today as well. My hair is getting pretty long.. and i am def. going to start losing weight again. I can't stand being so chubs!

Pae got a Body Kit
July 21st
I went to work all day - got off around 2 and went with Pae to Burbank to pick up his body kit. We ate Togo's after which was DAMN GOOD! I havent' had togo's in so long.. it was exciting.
We watched Bad Boys II after that - which was pretty good to say the least. A LOT OF action is all i can say about that movie. Lots of gory parts, car chases, shooting scenes etc. I can't believe it though - that parents brought their 10 year old to that movie. Not surprisingly - they were black. I'm not trying to be racial - but simply putting out the facts that black minorities are more prone to crime in this country.. and this may be part of the reason cuz they get into R rated movies at 10 years old!
I was disgusted at the dad who was sitting behind the kids doing nothing while ppl were being shot on the head with blood spilling out. Oh yeah.. and while i was trying to buy tickets.. the stupid girl at the box office asked my ID.. HAHA.. omg! Do i look like 17 or sumthing?
July 22nd
I went to the beach today. Hunington Beach with my co-workers. I have some pics which i'll post later. I love my co-workers they are so chill. Worry free and just kickin back. The weather was pretty sucky - so we didn't go in the water. We just talked and layed on the sand for a few hours. I went to work at 6-10.. and came home. That's about it.
