Х Jun. 26, 2006 - korea is knocked out!
Posted By Chol
| what a horrible world cup it has been for me personally. both of my teams have been eliminated.. switzerland (2) korea (0), and portugal (1) netherlands (0). we need some fresh blood for the world cup. i would love for england or portugal to make it to the finals playing against australia or ukaraine.
enough about world cup and onto autoracing! haha. this weekend i watched "the fast and the furious", "2 fast 2 furious", and "2 fast 2 furious: tpkyo drift". guess what?? i feel the need for speed now. lolz. my little crx is pretty fast from the startup but then it kind of dies off cause of lack of horsepower. i've been looking around for a street racer for the budget minded. i need another vtec honda or an acura. i've been calculating how much cash i need and if i budget myself i should be able to afford a fairly decent street racer. the best place to look has been ebay believe it or not. i've seen some pretty tricked out cars for under 10 G's. oh well... i'll keep y'all posted.
watched that new jack black movie, "nacho libre". haha it was funny as hell. 2 thumbs up. i think jack black gained alot of weight for the movie cause he was looking more robust than usual. lolz.
anyways... time for me to go nite nite so have a good one everybody! |

Х Jun. 22, 2006 - shoot my car... please...
Posted By Chol
after jumping the battery with that booster thingie this morning i made it to work with no problems. i'm thinking i drove long enough for the alternator to charge the battery enough. wrong-o. i jumped in the car during lunch to go to the grocery store and when i try to start it.... nothing again. i was thinking wtf? luckily i had the booster thingie with me so boost started the car and decided to go to autozone and let them hook up the hand analyzer to see what was wrong with my piece of crap car. battery is good but low. alternator seems to be charging the battery properly.... but. haha... there's always a "but". the analyzer says that i have a key on problem. the dude running the analyzer didnt know what that meant. i figured i have a short in the system somewhere that was causing my battery to drain. i go grocery shopping for 30 mins and as i go try to start the car again.... dead. man this is really pissing me off. i mean it dies in only 30 mins? when i go back to work i think back to what i have done to the car recently. i tried installing an a/c retrofit kit to convert it from an R12 to a RF134-A freon. maybe the compressor was shorting out? disconnected the a/c switch and go back into work for the rest of the day. after work tried to start the car again.... still dead. wow i'm really pissed at this point. i do a mental check of all the electrical components that can be turned on regardless of the car being "on". radio... checked ok. indoor roof light... ok. checked headlight switch.. thats ok also. lighter... still ok. headlights.... ok. brake lights.... oh oh... problem it seems the brakelight switch was broken at the brake pedal. since i rarely drive at night i didnt notice that when i parked my car, the brake lights remained on thus draining the battery. the switch itself was good but the rubber stopper from the pedal to the switch was broken off. some fancy modification with parts laying around at work and duct tape... everything is working again. the guy that invented duct tape should be awarded the nobel peace prize. lolz. aight have a good one everybody. laterz

Х Jun. 22, 2006 - memories of childhood....
Posted By Chol
during my epic walk to walmart yesterday i thought back to the time when i first arrived in texas. i was a child perhaps 7-8 years old and used to walk home from school every day. i can't remember which city we lived in, i'm thinking it was abilene. i do remember that the path i walked brought me to a honeysuckle bush. we used to pull the stems from the flowers and suck on the sweet nectar. the smell and taste was so incredible! as i walked along the sidewalk i would pass peach trees growing in people's yards. we would try and steal some if they were low enough for us to reach. when i was in thailand at the age of 8-9, i would walk around with a group of boys among the jungle area and see banana's growing wild and abundant. we would play hide and seek and eat banana's if they were ripe enough to be picked. my grandfather had a huge pistol and sometimes would go out and practice shooting at the coconuts on the trees. the noise was so deafening and i remember closing my eyes and ears in fright. flashback to 2 years ago when i lived in california and used to have to walk everywhere. many of the houses had lemon trees growing in the front yards. there were lemons everywhere. i felt the child in me come out again as i reached and stold some lemons as i go walking past. those were such happy times which seems so long ago. how i miss those carefree years...

Х Jun. 21, 2006 - i'm out of shape!
Posted By Chol
my legs feel like logs! well i kinda underestimated the distance to walmart to buy a portable battery booster. i thought it was only 1 1/2 miles but it ended up being like 2 1/2 miles. i wished i would've walked in the rain after all cause that texas sun was hot as hell when you're on your feet. it takes me like 45 minutes to walk there but the walk back was a biatch. the battery booster thingie was heavy as hell and it took me a good 1 hour 15 mins to walk back. i'm too damn tired to even cook me something to eat even though i'm starving to death. lolz.
on second thought i better get off my lazy ass and cook me some dinner after all. haha. take care everyone and have a great day. |

omg i am having a really bad day! the regional manager is coming to our branch for our site inspection today. i wake up early, take a shower and dress decently per my asshole manager's instructions. go to my car and turn on the ignition and NOTHING happens. i mean wtf? i just put in a new alternator like 2 months ago and now i got a dead battery again? to top it off, it starts to rain. i call into work to tell my coworker i wasnt gonna make it in today. later i call my boss to tell him the same thing then proceeded to go back to my apartment waiting for the rain to stop. my plan was to walk to walmart like since i thought it was 1 1/2 miles away to buy a portable battery charger/jumper. i mean a taxi would be aight but i thought i could use the exercise and besides.. i'm just too damn cheap for a cab. lolz. well 4 hours later and it still hasnt stopped raining yet. decided to pay for my internet service early just in case that was the reason it stopped working. phoned in my payment and waited 30 mins and tried internet again. what do u know.. it starts to work again although REALLY slow. its worse than dial-up slow now. just great! gonna do a fresh install on my laptop and try again just in case its my machine. what a lousy day so far. anyways... gotta run so take care everyone.

Posted By Chol
man i'm in a bad mood today. first i oversleep cause it was raining this morning and i normally wake up when i see daylight but since it was dark, i slept longer than intended after i turned off alarm clock. then i checked my computer to see the status of my downloads and i noticed that my internet wasnt working. messed around with it for 5 mins but still not getting a signal from the cable modem. got to work really late, 20 mins, but really didnt give a damn. then my boss makes an announcement that we have visitors coming to the lab so we have to present ourselves in a professional manner. no sandals, ear rings, or ball cap. i mean wtf? u have got to be kidding me. i'm hard core about wearing my ball cap every day. trying to let my hair grow out and it looks out of shape right now. with no cap i practically have an afro. all this stuff puts me in even a worse mood. trying to chill with some soothing tunes but it just isnt working. wanna put something heavy on but am afraid that will only fuel the flames of my mood. iono.. maybe i need to smoke something and just chill. feel like hitting the bag and just working out some of this pent up energy. don't really feel like talking to anyone. bleh.. i suck. aight its back to work again. i just needed to vent for a little bit. have a good one everybody.

Х Jun. 19, 2006 - France (1), Korea (1)...
Posted By Chol
good monday everyone. well it was a very busy weekend indeed for me. my fav jeans started off with a tear a few months ago and finally turned out into three long rips at the knees. these are genuine levi's so i was very disappointed they ripped into shreds like that. it forced me to do so shopping this weekend for new jeans. since i'm a little rough on my jeans i decided to buy some cheap work jeans at walmart. $15. what a deal! damn it feels good not to look raggedy anymore! albought me an a/c retrofit kit for my car. they dont tell u until u uopen up the box that for some import cars u had to buy the "optional" adapter. kinda sucks cause i had already tried to fill up the a/c with 2 cans of RF134A. lolz. we men are just hard headed sometimes. always think we can make something work when the instructions tells u that u have to do it a certain way. went out to eat at a real restaurant for once. a viet/chinese place that makes a really tasty pan fried flat rice noodles with combination meats. very tasty indeed. afterwards i went to the korean store and bought me some genuine japanese green tea which had real tea leaves and roasted rice. it costs an arm and a leg but what the hell, i needed some real tea instead of the crap in tea bags they sell at the grocery store. i need to eat more healthy so bought a couple of packages of nori, (roasted seaweed paper). eating healthy is gonna leave my ass broke. lolz. yesterday i watched world cup, france vs korea. what an awesome game! in LA, the koreans took over a basketball arena. 20,000 strong attended just to show support for our team. in the soccer arena, the koreans were much more vocal than the french. i think that support made all of the difference in the game. damn i gotta buy me a korean world cup tshirt somewhere. the game itself was fairly fast paced to watch. european and asian style of soccer is really quite different. europeans like long attacking style while asians favor the short style. it was a nailbiter. france scored early and pretty much dominated the whole game. fortunately korea came through at the end and tied it up. omg world cup this year is so awesome. can't wait to see the upcoming matches. i got my green tea made so i guess its time to get to work now. have a good day everyone.

Х Jun. 17, 2006 - I'm a sponge...
Posted By Chol
as i sit here and listen to one of my favorite cd's of the hungarian band named desperado, i wonder who the heck am i. foreals i must be one strange dude to some peeps. here i am an asian but have been spending the whole week listening to hungarian, romanain, russian, korean, and japanese music. when i'm on the road i'll turn on the mexican station and listen to salsa, meringue, and reggaeton. when i'm in my bad-ass mood i'll put on some hip hop and gangsta rap. if i wanna party i'll play some techno, trance, house, or dance music. every now and then i'll rock out with hard\classic rock or metal. when i'm skateboarding of course i gotta listen to some alternative\grunge. sometimes i'll be in the mood for country, and when i want something different i'll put on some opera, instrumental, or classical. for some strange reason me and r&b just don't quite get along. believe me i try. don't get me wrong.. i can dig r&b but its really not one of my favs. i can pretty much listen to everything. same thing with watching tv and movies. even though i don't understand the language, i love foreign films. my co-workers always gives me hell cause i be watching the mexican stations. no matter what foreign country i'm in i can watch whatever is on. the strangest this i've ever done was when i was in hungary, i was watching a tibetan movie which was translated into hungarian. i'm like a sponge, i soak up everything i see and hear. lolz.. i'm just plain weird.
oh wells... back to the hungarian music again and then a little russian. what a way to spend a saturday night. lolz... at least i'm enjoying myself at home. peace out everyone. |

Х Jun. 17, 2006 - "kidulthood"...
Posted By Chol
i've just finished watching a british movie about a group of teens in london called "kidulthood". it's a very raw movie in its depiction of violence, sex, drugs, and the various cliques which kids belong to. a movie like that kind of makes u think about what can go on out there in the real world. this young chick was constantly bullied by other girls that she finally couldn't take it and hung herself. another chick doesnt even flinch to give a drug dealer a blowjob in front of everyone just to score some drugs and money for shopping. later on she offers to f*ck with a group of guys cause she wanted to party and even offers to take it up the ass with one of them. all of this from a 15 year old chick. it seems kids are growing up so fast nowdays. half the stuff they're exposed to wasn't available when i was growing up. u were doing good to score some alcohol and if u got ahold of weed u were the ****. to find a girl u can make out with was a huge accomplishment. i don't know how realistic the movie was but i think it was quite close to the truth. i've met some young chicks who has been exposed to way too much for their age.drugs are so easy to get that the movie also is quite credible in that aspect as well. we all read about violence every day in the newspaper and see it on the tv and movies. sometimes watching something like that really makes me feel old. it seems not so long ago i embraced that lifestyle and culture.
is this a sign that i am finally growing up? |

Х Jun. 17, 2006 - saturday at work...
Posted By Chol
good morning all!!! it's saturday morning , 7AM, and i'm here at work again.its been awhile since i've worked on the weekend and i'm feeling alot better than i thought being here. last night i was unsually tired again after work. its been ocurring more and more often and i have no idea why. i started nodding off about 7 pm so decided to catch a nap and then i'll be refreshed to do whatever it was that i was gonna do. i should know better than that cause everytime i lie down to take a nap and there is no one there to way me up, i end up sleeping practically all night. sure enough i slept until 5 AM. lolz. i was supposed to make some dvd's for the guy at work but oh wells, thats how it goes sometimes. they're gonna bring us the huge breakfast taco's that i love so i brought me a little plastic container of rice. haha mexican breakfast taco's and rice. the guys here are gonna give me hell about it but i really don't give a f*ck. asian pride baby! as u can tell i'm feeling a little bit better today. must be cause of a full night's sleep finally. it started pouring down rain about an hour ago. it was like typhoon or hurricane rain. fortunately i was wise enough to put some rainx on the windshield. i have no idea who the genius was that invented that stuff but its really quite amazing. hauling ass down the highway in the pouring rain without using your wipers is a real rush. my pour little CRX is so light weight that everytime i hit a water puddle it feels like i'm gonna lose control and wipe out. this is the first real rainstorm i've driven in with the new car. all in all she did a good job. gonna have to do something about the cv joints and suspension tho. i thought putting on the wider rims and tires was gonna help the vibration problem i get at 70 mph but now i get the shakes starting at 65 mph. once i get this solved then the car would be a real keeper and i can start working on the body mods. lolz.. a boy and his car. haha. aight... time to start working so kisses for my baby and have a good weekend everyone else.

Х Jun. 16, 2006 - yearning for eastern europe...
Posted By Chol
man i'm really tripping. i think for the past few weeks my thoughts have all been on europe. i find myself watching and listening to nothing but european movies and music. free time are spent looking at websites of eastern european countries. the UK, France, Germany and the rest of other western europe holds very little interest for me because they're too similar to the states. i mean u can find mcdonalds and other american fast food there everywhere that u look. i have always been drawn to eastern europe. czech republic, bulgaria, poland, romania, hungary, slovakia, estonia, latvia, belarius, serbia, moldova. such beautiful and exotic places. it seems so long ago that i have been there. i can't believe its been a little over two years now. there is something about the culture there that draws me. the past two nights i have been downloading lots of romanian tracks. my memories there were some of the happiest i ever had. the people are so wonderful. the music incredible. the country extremely beautiful. the people there are always so full of life. strangers are always greeted with a kiss to the cheek. parties were always the most festive. is russian culture similar? just the thought of being with her there excites me. until i can experience it, all i can do is daydream. until i am back in europe again i know i will always be feeling restless. have a wonderful day everyone

Х Jun. 15, 2006 - Alsou - "Mechty" ...
Posted By Chol
I've just discovered a wonderful Russian singer named Alsou. Her voice is so mesmerizing that it literally touches my soul. I've pretty much spent the whole night downloading everything I could find from her. Amazingly enough almost all of her tracks are just as enjoyable to listen to as the first. Give this artist a try and you won't be disappointed.
- Chol
Here are the lyrics in Russian, unfortunately I wasn't able to locate an English translation.
Title: "Mechty"
Artist: Alsou
Я жизнь свою читала,
Читала и мечтала по руке,
По руке, по твоей руке.
Бегут куда-то люди,
Что с нами дальше будет?
Все равно, все равно
В тишине ночной голос твой
И все мои мечты - только ты.
Пр.:
Снова рассвет, новый день придет,
Ночь растает,
И никогда о тебе никто не узнает.
Так больно не бывает,
И в сердце замерзает.
Холодно, холодно, как одиноко!
Я взгляд твой забываю,
Все забываю, но как хочется,
Хочется быть с тобой,
В тишине ночной голос твой,
И все мои мечты - только ты.
Пр. (2 раза)
В тишине ночной голос твой,
И все мои мечты - только ты.
Пр

Х Jun. 14, 2006 - painful wednesday....
Posted By Chol
had a bad sleep last night. tossing and turning in bed most of the night. disturbing dreams but i can't really remember what they were about. all i knew is that i didnt like the images. alarm went off and i didnt continuously hit the snooze button 20 times like i usually do. i hit it off, tried to sneak another 20 minutes but decided to get out of bed. woke up with pains again. damn this really sucks! gonna have to pop a couple of pain killers the first thing in the morning again. in no big rush to get to work. take my sweet time and stopped by mcdonalds to pick up a couple of cheap sausage mcgriddles. breakfast and lunch again for the whole day. lol. u can tell i'm not feeling well cause i'm typing like a robot. shrugs... who cares? just so happy she's back home again from the hospital. i hope they give her a couple of days at home b4 they have to send her to the other place for additional recovery. pains been getting so bad for me daily that i might have to suck it up and get mine done also. kisses, hugs for her and have a wonderful day for everyone else.

Х Jun. 14, 2006 - "Cars"...
Posted By Chol
Earlier this evening i watched the new animated movie from pixar, "Cars". i read some reviews about it and heard the guy from the radio say how disappointed he was in it. i thought the premise for the movie was kinda cheesy myself. i have to say that i was happily mistaken. the movie had several nice themes and i have to admit that some parts actually brought a couple of drops of tears to my eyes. the main character was quite obnoxious in the begining and his "best friend" later on in the movie was kind of a real doofus for me. somehow it all came together and ended up being a pretty nice little film. its a nice movie and not meant only for little kids. i will have to give it two thumbs up so you guys don't think that you're too old to enjoy an animated movie every now and then
Lots of Love, Hugs, and Kisses for my poor little angel still stuck in the hospital. |
