happy easter everyone

today i didnt do much...
i drove around for a while... a long while...
i feel like im looking for an answer, but i dunno what the question really is...
i just know i havnt figured it out...
ill take more time during break to figure it out i suppose...

i talked to chimee for the first time on the fone.... cutest voice ever... she should get one of those headsets for her fone cuz its dangerous talking to her while she's driving heh...

baltimore is a pretty nice city....
the aquarium was a neat experience...
driving in the city is not fun.......

i wish i could cut out my balls and leave em in a jar
some things just wont end...
and its not getting easier to end...

the future is up in the air...
but i am not worried.. just curious
i want to get away..... and be alone and pray
Those who like me:
University of Colorado at Boulder
Penn State (university park)
UMBC

Those who Don't:
V-Tech
Unversity Of California (Irvine, Davis AND Berkeley)
and as of Yesterday... UNC as well

so now I'm 3 for 8...
im still waiting on UVA (psh yea right...)
and..
UMCP (maybe)

yesteryda i went to the avalon concert..... if i had to rate the concert itself.. id give it a 7 outta 10... i knew 3 songs...haha one by each group... No Less by Joy Williams, Remember Me by Mark Schultz and Testify by Avalon... I actually came just to hear that Testify.... and I almost got really mad cuz i waited the entire concert for Testify and they were like ok! thanks for coming! bye! at the end..... but then a few seconds later they came out again for an encore... and they sang it..... faked me out..... but ok... if anything that was a very nice end to the evening... my entire church practically came for that one song....haha it's brisca's favorite song ever.. so it was cool... the evening was pretty fun tho... i got to see diana, hanna and lily again... havnt seen em since january.... and... just chilling was fun... i was really agitated on the car ride home tho cuz... i dunno it was just really hectic.... hmmmm i think i was uneccessarily mean to martha.... sorry... i guess i was just grumpy and tired...

lots of girls felt like hitting me yesterday too.... hm.... haha... i guess im just an ez target... same time i kinda abused them...

also jiheon is now my favorite dancer... him and martha... they are insane...

what have we done to jiheon? his sister blames me for it all.... she claims i got him started... i am not going to take credit.. he's too much of a work of art....

im tired... ill finish up later

Thursday, March 28, 2002

i got ahead of myself, almost jumped the gun/
thought i took two steps forward, but im stumped at one/
about to make a move, almost let the hunt begun/
it was my mistake for letting my head run in front/

who am i kidding? i do this everytime... thinking hm...... maybe..... haha... i have to learn to calm my self down instead of foolishly jumping to conclusions.... or at least stop thiking of possible conclusions......

cuz..
i keep making the same mistake/
i start to believe n wish for that name n face/
ignoring reality, i keep tryna retain the faith/
cuz in this game i play there's no changing fate/

hopefully ill learn to keep my eyes open next time.... or who knows perhaps im jumping to conclusions again.... all good haha... a part of growing up i suppose

ive found that lessons learned are best when earned/
cuz if u avoid the stress n burn u recieve less in turn/
wow... its thursday... hehe

anyhow... spring break officially started today... i didnt do much... but in the afternoon i went to see the movie "showtime" with my "kid" KT, and my friend jason... we watched it because there was nothign else to see cuz KT was too darn young to see an r-rated movie and me and jason werent old enough to accomapany her.... stupid movie rules.... the movie... wasnt all that great but i guess it wasnt horrible.... then i went to the mall with KT... looked around the entire mall for a single darn face plate for her phone.... ran into martha while she was at work... had an interesting convo, about her past, and some other stuff too haha... k that's raelly my day... OH yea... i saw princess diaries... haha... not bad

oh yea i checked online today and found out the last of my CALI schooling dreams have dissapeared...... berkely was the last cali school to reject me that i applied to.... all good ,i wasnt expecting much from them....

plans for spring break:
avalon concert (tomorrow)
aquarium
Zoo
possibly beach
mt zion coffeehouse

k that's the update for now... tata

what an eventful weekend...
friday i bought tickets for the avalon concert for me and some of my friends, irene came to my school to give me money, dcho gave me money at school, i met up with brisca and martha to get their money... so yea... its gonna be this friday in VA so i guess im looking forward to that... then i had d-ship as usual..
saturday i woke up early to go to see this special guest speaker speak at gmc at 7 am... it was a pretty good event, but after that i spent the entire day prepping for SAN, which went pretty smoothly, haha a lot of last minute decisions took place... but they shall remain unknown so the girls dont get an idea of exactly how unprepared we were b4 that day haha...
sunday... i went to church, got all fraeked out over giving blood for the first time, but it was so anti climatic cuz it only hurts for like.... 2 seconds, and then i just layed there and i guess i didnt drink enough fluids cuz it jsut STOPPED draining... so they repositioned the needle and applied more pressure but it stopped again... so they were like... eh its not working.. nevermind. so they just took it out and i got my juice and cookies and left haha...

and that was my weekend... but it wore me out....
that's it for now bye^^

Thursday, March 21, 2002

hm.... well...

there isnt much to say today...

basically im still 50%... but instead of 2 for 4 i am 3 for 6...

on the same day i got my rejection from UC Davis as well as my acceptance letter from University of Colorado at Boulder... this means that in terms of my dream of studying in cali, its pretty much diminished totally because the last place i applied to from cali is berkely and... there is no way im getting in there... BUT at least i have colorado as an option^^

the last few days before SAN is coming up... i hope the girls enjoy it...

also im preppn to go to the AVALON concert next friday... i hope my plans go through with that....

ok well... not much else to say today... so ill ttyl^^ bye!

hello everyone, the past weekend was a quite... interesting one.....

short run down

Friday
as i mentioned b4, i asked my friend to the prom, she said yes (yipee!)
that was enough excitement for one day (there are some funny stories involved tho, so ask me personally if you wanna hear them)

---
Saturday
I visited Penn State, pretty much got what i expected, and nothing really stood out at me, i found nothing persuasive for me to really want to go there, it just didnt seem all that attracted to me... so as of this moment, im considering UMBC, it just seems to be worth it.... anyhow it was a 3 hour drive... ONE WAY... but yea...
but on the way back.... pffft.... i got my first ticket... stupid cop... heh. i was going 82 on 65.... so yea, i was speeding, not too terribly fast, but the law is the law i suppose... still tho, my dad didnt appreciate me getting a ticket.... gotta go to court whenever the trial date is set...
but
saturday night was the BAN (brotha's appreciation night).... wow that was tite, the sista's did .... quite an amazing job with setting up and treating us guys quite well.... they definately set a standard taht will be difficult (but not impossible!) to be met... but the bro's and i will see what we can muster up by this saturday... which is SAN (sista's ...)
i have some foto's from the event:

The Gals


Daniel Cho, Me, Jiheon (goofing off at the table)


Christina, Brisca, Bokyong, Lisa, Michelle (brisca is my prom date ^^)

Sunday
eh... nothing out of ordinary happened... i woke up early for soup kitchen, the entire weekend pooped me out so the rest of the evening after church was spent sleeping or finishing up hw

hm... i haven written in a while i guess and i suppose i was just in the mood to do so.... forgive any sappiness in content.... or anything else, but yea... i guess this is waht jotted down really is... you guys can try to find the meaning.... or try to interpret it as you please. some may think im depressed or something, but its really not the case... i guess more than anything its just my thought processes being put into words from one revelation in life to the next... im not gonna offer some huge explanation to you all, rather leave it up to you

there are times when i lose track of where i am
and i need a map just to find my way around
but its hard when i dont know where to go and...
im just stepping in tune with my heartbeat's sound

i look at the night sky, gazing up at the stars
but sometimes more than one catches my eye
and i cant decide which one to shoot or wish for
so i just sit and stare, as time passes by

my face is pressed against the window
and after a time, i know exactly what id like
but as i reach out, my hand hits the glass
because it's only out of reach, not out of sight

it may have taken, chossing the wrong star
but at least ive learned what special means
and it may have meant walking the wrong path
but at least i know this is real, not just a dream

k. short update for now... more later

Friday, March 15, 2002

success!... hehe today was an awesome day...
i asked 'her' to prom and ... dun dun dun.... she said yes!



- thank you god^^

Thursday, March 14, 2002

OK...


im getting ready to ask a girl to prom... she'll remain unknown to the general public... at least for now until after i ask... i cant have her find out b4 she gets asked, that'd be horrible...

BUT...


things are starting to get to me and im beginning to get really nervous.... basically... i have been informed today that im not the only one interested in asking her... ALSO... i had a pretty high confidence rate that she would say yes.. but as of right now... my confidence has wavered quite substantialbly.... a number of things could happen...

FIRST of all... im aiming to totally surprise her... and i guess im hoping for PLEASANTLY surprise... but she could react somewhat similar to this
or in addition, i could anger her if she really rather not go with me... then she might start to get a lil angry...
of course there is always the possiblilty that ill just annoy her and get a lookor she might at first decline out of shock.... but maybe... change her mind^^
however it may be, if in the end she agrees then ill be very happy and start dancing for joy... similar to these ppl

of course im just poking fun of the subject, but as of right now, im quite terrified... wish me luck ppl.. say a lil prayer that good ol' newty wont get shot down^^

---
not much else is going on... im just checkn the mail everyday for more college info.. and all i have got to say is... its almost friday! woohoo!...

btw, the wheater was beautiful today... driving conditions were perfect... although this morning the fog was crucial it has cleared up to make it quite a gorgeous day...
alright... perhaps ill post later again today but for right now..... tootles

im going to go through this post using lots of illustrations...

prom time is coming up

Do I Go For It?



Maybe



I Think, I Just Might...


more on that situation later.....


i noticed.... my mouth gets me in a lot of trouble...
i say things thinking im doing something good, when really im saying it all wrong, and it comes out horribly misconceived...
sometimes i wish i thought long n hard b4 i speak up...
if i've ever said anything to you that may have made you uncomfortable or hurt your feelings in any way...
i apologize... i can't even be sure how many i may have made this mistake too....
i just realized yesterday, i do it too often.....

aish... it seems so far away, college, yet so close...
im in a range of a different moods...
hopeful for the rest of the yr, my last moments with my friends [coco lee - i will be your friend]

saddened that the best people seem to be just out of reach, i want to hold them, but i cant [utada hikaru - first love]

weary...from trying to overcome my biggest temptations and downfalls [dc talk - what if i stumble?]

thankful for those close to me, esp my friends, some of you have affected me more than you know, and there's a reason i love all of you..... as this chapter comes to a close the next few months, i will have you guys to remember the most, i just wish i could tell each and everyone of you how much u meant to me, but for certain reasons, its not always possible... no matter what i'll always be thankful for who you guys are... (dorks, idiots, morons, insane, and krazy alike =P) [j - true colors]

where shall life go from here?...
lets take that leap of faith

Tuesday, March 12, 2002

hey everyone.... this is who i am according to emode.com

You Are a Joey


How you doin'? Your inner Joey Tribbiani wants to know. Like the real Joey, people can feel your presence and red-hot, sex appeal the minute you walk in the room. And your good intentions are never far behind (even if you do let a secret or two slip at the wrong moments). The point is, your honesty and sweet-natured charm can get you out of any situation because you always mean well. Your hidden strength may just be your tenacity. Did Joey give up acting because Dr. Drake Ramoray was killed off the soap opera? Nope. And even after he failed as Al Pacino's butt double he didn't abandon his dreams. So keep that in mind, aim high, and keep being the friend that your friends love having around.

You are a Goofball


You are one lucky Goofball. Why? It's a known fact that laughter is the way to any girl's heart, and a great sense of humor is your defining quality. Not only can you make other folks laugh, but you can laugh at yourself — there's no bigger turn-off than a guy who takes himself too seriously. Your lighthearted attitude reveals how comfortable you feel about yourself. Women dig that kind of self-confidence and security. Face it, you're a people magnet — everyone's favorite friend. There's never a dull moment with you nearby. Excitement and laughter are what you bring to the lives around you, and it makes everything a little bit brighter, which is no small thing. After all, life is too short to spend it without a smile.

Your type is the Girl Next Door


Cute, fun, and sweet, your ideal gal is just a stone's throw away — she's the Girl Next Door. She's Sandra Bullock, Doris Day, and Meg Ryan all rolled up into one. Naturally pretty rather than glamorous, she's unpretentious and generous. She loves animals and children, and is great with both. You're attracted to her strong values and traditional ways. Although she demands a lot of respect, she's not particularly high-maintenance. Her ideal date is more likely to be dinner and a movie than heading out for a night on the town. She's careful yet spontaneous — a little bit of the Guy's Girl, a smidge of Sorority Sister (the nice kind), and just a hint of the Hippie Chick. But she's got an appeal that's all her own, which is why you can't stay away. Her winning smile, bright eyes, and loving nature make you want to hold on tight and never let go.

You're blue


— the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!

Your flavor is Blueberry


Mmm ... blueberry! Tangy and sweet, you're as fresh as a mountain sunrise and as natural as homemade jam. If you were a Broadway musical, you'd be The Sound of music — we can just picture you twirling for joy in an Alpine meadow. Best with breakfast cereal and pancakes, you're simple and refreshing, with just a touch of tartness to give you an edge. Always a favorite, people can't get enough of your spontaneous nature and easy-going approach to life. Who wouldn't be attracted to your sporty, summery flavor? Fun-loving and genuine, you're a truly tasty treat.

do you agree? yes or no? haha let me know and AIM me
and people SIGN THE GBOOK!.... thanks^^

rev jang... you're a great man... now in a great place...

-In memory-

Rev Jang - *says something in korean*
Me - Oh, sorry. HangulMal Mollayo, uh i dont speak korean
Rev Jang - WHAT!? why not!?
Me - cuz im also half chinese
Rev Jang - ohhhhh.... so... do u speak chinese?
Me - uhm..... no not really
Rev Jang - HOW COME!?!?!
Me - i guess cuz my parents spoke english to one another so they could communicate so that's what i picked up
Rev Jang - aishhhh.... you should speak both languages you know that right? you should speak korean AND chinese
Me - oh... yea... sorry
Rev Jang - ... YAH! go cut the watermellon!


(we will all remember you)

-----

he was a great guy, and loved to pick on me the whole time in Arizona..... but ppl come and go, and its what they leave which is important... and on that note, i believe he left a small, but important legacy of God's work...

to be honest, his death didnt really affect me much at all until a couple days later..... and yet even now i feel no sorrow... nor confusion.... but the past few days at church, my pastor steve has given msg's that made me re-evaluate Rev Jang's death, and i realize that the man has done so much, and that perhaps his death is a calling for us to do the same, and pick up where the man left off.... so right now i am, in a mode of admiration... and perhaps even inspiration...

so.... in dedication to Rev Jang, and all the rest who have died still doing what god had called them to do... let's all live by this motto
No Reserves, No Retreats, No Regrets
-------

well alright, on a completely different note, this past weekend i found out that... god really does answer prayers..... to you skeptics out there, perhaps the following is just an unimportant, small, lucky coincidence..... then if that is the case.... life has given me a very lucky, uplifting, and important surprise...

i... didnt exactly reveal it too much, but after being rejected by VT, i was really really discouraged..... not to the point where i was depressed, cuz i bounced back from that, rather i was just sort of feeling down...... so i started asking god to please some how give me something to be encouraged about.... and well in my mind i was thinkign that the next letter i recieve would not be a rejection letter, rather another offer for admission.... and well.... lets just say i came home and rushed to check the mail every day this week...... after a while, i realized that perhaps... ive been asking for the wrong thing.... or maybe im just being impatient..... and basically i stopped being so anxious.... so on saturday i had to be out all day and i didnt even get the chance to check the mail..... however when i got home.... i found something that totally caught me off gaurd.. it was another package from UMBC, sayign congrats! at the bottom...... and yet i had already been accepted into UMBC a while ago... so i was thinking... what the freak... is this? heh... well i opened it up and... it turned out that i had received the presidents scholarship from UMBC in the ammount of 5k a yr.... at first.... i was so confused, i checked the envelope to make sure it was really addressed to me.... and everything because... i certaintly did not DESERVE an academic scholarship... im not EVEN TRYING TO BE MODEST HERE..... i have an accumaltive gpa of 2.85..... well anyhow.... it came to my realization that this is exactly what i needed, maybe not in the form i was expecting.... so from here.... im not saying im gonna go to UMBC, but im def considering it more now.... and also im gonna try to use this as leverage to try to weasal scholarships from any other school i may get accepted into....

well. that's the update on my life for now....... cya everyone
[btw, i wanted to put in pics but the place i upload them to is not working right now, check back for an edit later]

[phase 1].... complete... new template...

stay tuned for future changes.....

Friday, March 01, 2002

k, ive been too bz to make the drastic changes just yet..... but they will come....

just to let ppl know... my streak has come to and end
i am no longer 2 for 2... i am now 2 for 3..... :-(
my dream school of University of California, Irvine has rejected me, too bad that place was so darn beautiful... well at least it narrows down my choices a lil bit... i just need to pray about this whole thing....

oddly enough im not as dissapointed as i thought id be.... i was so anxious to hear and now that ive heard im just like.... darn..... it would have been tite but... oh well life goes on..... and that's just it.... life goes on......

well, my dreams of schooling in so-cal next fall has diminished..... in terms of west coast its up to berkeley and davis to do their thing.... and both are nothern cali schools, but i can life with northern cali..... unfortunately im prob not gonna make it into berkeley.....

so right now the run down of the schools i have a CHANCE of getting into......
Davis ( i think i dont really have a clear idea)
University of Colorado (this is a toss up, once again not sure)
Virginia Tech ( my mid year grades may have hurt me, but i think i may have a small chance)
UMCP (i dunno why.... im just keeping hope alive...)

and for schools i dont think i have a chance with:
UVA
Berkeley
UNC
(if i get into ANY of the three above schools..... then if i know you ill buy you lunch)

anyhow... wish me luck... and ill keep all of you updated
