So this starts as my first post since establishing a healthy campus life at UCLA. Well not exactly healthy, since I've picked up on more drinking and smoking than I ever have. I've had my share of smoking weed/blunts, getting smashed at Fraternity parties (because my roommates have the hookups), clubbing, strip clubbing, and pretty much the rest of the college shit you see in the movies (or not). I have a decked out room, tight roommates, chill classes, great food everyday, amazing gym and other facilital access, beautiful campus, hot girls EVERYwhere. Oh did I mention the 1.5mb/s download speed I get on AVERAGE?! What can I say, life is good at this point. :)
These past couple of weeks marked the zenith of my college stress experience, with a whomping three midterms. I think I did fairly well on them. But if my study habits stay continue the way they are, opportunity for grad school won't be looking too good. It's been a very flexible month living away from my parents: no nagging, leaving and coming back whenever I please, eating whatever I want, skipping classes without the fear of getting lectured, etc. I admit, however, that I've been too taken in by this freedom, hence rendering me a lazy slobbish bum with no discipline. An example of this would be my compulsive figurine buying spree over the past three weeks, since I have my own credit card now. I'll post up pictures of my collection thus far, so you can lay your jealous eyes on them. Yes I do buy Anime figurines now. I've become something along the lines of a 'closet otaku.' But the Anime freaks I've been hanging around with at the UCLA Animation Club? These guys have reached a new level of nerdy fanboy, /b/tard, otakuism. I'll leave it at that.
Also picked up some new activities. For one, I'm into rock climbing now. It's a strenuous workout, but the feeling you get after conquering a trail justifies all the hard work. I'm also apart of HKSS now. Thought I'd do some exploring in my Cantonese heritage. Who am I kidding, my only intention for joining ethnic clubs was to meet cute Asian girls lol. I've started interning for HKSS; gonna see where it takes me in terms of experience and connections. The executive committee seem pretty competent from what I saw at the meeting last night, so I think I'll learn a thing or two.
That's pretty much what I have going on right now. I don't think my workload will be too tough until second or third quarter. My classes stand as being pretty boring. Chem is seriously gay, no joke. Communications is interesting at times, but repetitive. English is worst than a grindfest. Math.. EZPZLEMONSQZ lol.
Oh, I'm also hitting up PMX (Pacific Media Expo) on Saturday of Vet holiday weekend, so call me if you're going. Still don't have any plans for Thanksgiving or Christmas so hit me up! Also, let me know if anyone's interested in the HKSS Ski Trip or Joint U Clubbing event during Winter Quarter. I'll end with some pix of my figures and leet chars on SOTNW. By the way, if anyone plays Melty Blood Act Cadenza, I'm up to practice through Netplay on Hamachi.

Reporting for duty! Sir!
Just a short update on how I'm holding up, not much since the last post. My fob friend came back from Taiwan so we're gonna hit up six flags on Sunday with a big group. DSing in line wins so hard as recalled from my last trip to Universal Studios. Everyone sweating and looking pissed while we were all taking turns trying to beat Wario Warez ya!
SO, my mom decided to sign me up for piano lessons at Waltrip's Music Center down by Pavilions because she thought I was on drugs on something staying home everyday. My first lesson was yesterday, and it was the most embarrassing shit of my life. Grown ass man, sitting there taping the quarter notes to Jingle Bells, nice. There were 13 year olds down the hall masterfully playing Mozart. I know I've always wanted to learn, but not like this. I have notes down, guess I'll just practice to a certain level in college and learn from there in ADULT institutions. However, I am contemplating a second lesson. You'd expect one of those old ass ladies or something to be piano teachers, right? Wrong. My teacher was a cute young looking Taiwanese girl (yes) probably in her early twenties, who had a great personality and a gorgeous smile. Who am I kidding though, beautiful and already making a living (a pretty good one at that, $25 for half an hour!), and I'm still walking with training wheels. Or maybe my pussyshit self is talking for me again; if I get her number by next Thursday everyone reading this owes me drinks lol.
And there you have it, another chapter in my vivacious life. My new LCD screen came within one day of ordering, Newegg you rule. It runs a stunning 1280x1024 display for a reasonable price, but my eyes are still adjusting because I've been staring at my laptop too much. I'm still hardcore grinding in Granado Espada because I just got a sniper UPC and I'm going for a dual wielder next. No more getting owned in instances baby! I'm also trying to pass the song Bravin' Bad Crew by Riryka heavy mode in Stepmania. It's like full chaos and stream lol. I have Note skin, C400 scroll speed, 10 battery lives, AND trick assist... still can't beat it. If anyone wants to give it a try, it can be found in Otaku Anime Mix #3 - look for the anime Venus Versus Virus and its the song in red >.> I'll leave you with a screenie of my badass fighter holding a glowing +6 sword with all buffs on. Next time you'll get to see Bernelli + Adelina striking poses :)
PS: I think Lipton puts nicotine in their drinks, I can't put the shit down.

Fresh, and a round up of my summer.
Well anyways, I planned a church gathering with some people a few weeks back, so I'll be looking forward to that. Still taking care of some loan issues and other pre-quarter ordeals because I'm a retard who doesn't follow up on shit. I have a feeling college life is gonna set up me straight. Let's go bruins baby.
