Labor day weekend. I went to camping with my friends over this weekend. I like camping, but I don't like the fact I cannot take a shower, use bathroom, and bugs' attack in the camping. When we got to the camp suit, there were already lots of people camping. After we set up the tent, we started hiking......with beer. Of course, I didn't drink beer at all while we were hiking because I am a good boy! But, I did drink after that....yeppieee!! Jonathan was just drinking like a mug. I don't think I can drink from 8am in the morning.. Anyway, I felt maybe I should do camping more because I need fresh air and fresh beer.

Tuesday -> American Idol. Of course, I watched American Idol tonight. It wasn't really good because Kelly was much better than Justine, so it was obvious she's gonna win tomorrow. But, I know I am gonna watch tomorrow night too.... Damnit!

I was soooooo unhealthy today. I kept eating chips & salsa through all day today, and also ate tons of ice cream.....I don't know why I tortured myself like this... I even didn't have other foods! No lunch, no dinner, just chips & salsa. I was gonna go jogging, but I couldn't go because I had to watch American Idol. Of course, Kelly won the contest. It was pretty obvious she knew she's gonna win, and Justine knew he's gonna lose. Sucks. Anyway, I am glad it's over, so I can go for jogging in the Tue & Wed evenings..

Happy birthday Matt!! Well, actually, I didn't know today was his birthday because he never told me!!! Grrrrrr!! But, I did went to his apartment with beer, cookies, and ice cream to cerebrate his birthday. Yeah! We ordered pizza & bread sticks and ate them around 2am....ouch. But it was good. Nothing better than later night pizza.

Since I am going to Abbey's wedding tomorrow, I had to get perfect outfit. So, I went to the mall to get some clothes. I spent more than I thought and I was thinking if I just give money I spend on the clothes to Abbey, she would be very happy! On the way back to my apartment, Priyada called me and said she was bored as hell. So, I went to her apartment in Evanston. Actually, I hadn't seen her more than 3 months, so it was really nice to see her. After I stopped by her house, we came back here and had dinner. It was fun. We were talking about going to outlet mall to do shopping. Mmmmmm, shopping..

Yesterday, I went to Abbey's wedding at Bedford, IN. I was 15 mins late because I got lost on the way to the church. When I got there, the ceremony was already began!! Damnit! But, I could see "I doooooo" part. Abbey was totally awesome in the wedding dress, and the ceremony was beautiful. I also could see many friends there, so I was really glad I went to the wedding. I really wanted to get the bouquet, well, I mean I really needed to get one, but I couldn't join in the line since I am a boy. After I got back from the wedding, Ryan was asking me if I wanna go to the party at Katie's friend's house. I was really tired and really wanted to just hang out with Ryan and other friends, but since Katie was picking us up at 10pm, and I hadn't seen Katie for a while, I did go to the party. The party was alright, it was nice to see Katie and others. When I called Andrew, he was in Bloomington and at yogi's. I wanted to go there, but when we got back from the party, it was already after 2am, and I was tired like a mug. Also, Ryan, Andrew, and Katie kept asking me I should go to the cook out today at Bill's house. But, I had a too much socialization last night, and I didn't want to hear people ask me "So, what do you do in Chicago?" Since I haven't found a job yet, I really hate replaying "Nah, I am just looking for a job." It does make me feel I am a kinda loser. So, I think I stop seeing anyone until I find a job!!! By the way, Ryan's house is the way too cold!! I was so happy to see Ryan and so happy to know he got his own private room in the Kitchen!

As I assumed, Andrew was pretty mad because I left Bloomington without going to the cook out. Well, as I keep saying in this website, life isn't easy. For some reasons, I felt really ill in this afternoon. I wasn't sure what was wrong with me, but I felt very dizzy. Weird. Although I ate ice cream after the dinner, I am feeling still dizzy. Well, ice cream sure made me happy though. I think I am just going to the bed without playing good night sleep video game...

I still didn't feel well in this morning, but I didn't want to just stay in my room, so I went to the book store to check some computer books I have been thinking to buy. When I was in the book store, Priyada called me saying she was coming down here. Since her school won't start next two weeks, she has tons of time to hang out with me....I guess. We had a dinner at Japanese restaurant which was ok. She told me she got a job at Express, and starts working here from tomorrow!!! Maaaaaaan!!! I have been here a month, but still haven't found a job yet, so why the hell she could get a job already??? After we had a dinner, we went to the theater to watch "the good girl." Surprisingly, the movie was pretty good. I really liked it alot. Before the movie, there was a trailer for the movie called "Spirited Away." It looks really good. I love Japanese animation!

Of course, today was the first anniversary of 9/11. I just cannot believe it has been a year. I still remember this day. 9/11/2001, I had a class from 10:30am, so I woke up around 9am. Usually, I watch Today on NBC, but some reasons, I didn't feel like watching TV that day, so I just went to the class (which was artificial intelligence class...didn't like it). When I got to the class, everyone included the professor watching the TV. I wasn't sure what was going on because there was a building on the fire on TV. I just thought the professor wanted to watch TV before the class because the tall building was on fire!! I had no idea why the building was on fire or why the professor kept asking us if we could continue the class. After the class, I went to the lab to do my stuff, and then I heard about the terrorist attach. It was pretty shocking and I couldn't believe it. Sicne I am not American, I guess I don't have as much as sorrow as American people have. I did find a little bit annoying to see 9/11 special programs on TV because they were playing all day today and just depressing as hell!! I really found amusing that the president Bush was saying "...it has been a year of sorrow blah blah blah..." because he is the one trying to start the war which would kill tons of innocent people. I just don't see why he is trying so hard to fight back. Oh well, I guess that's the American thing to do...

Today was a shopping day. Priyada and I went to the Gurnee Mills mall. Although there were tons of stores, we really couldn't find the stuff we wanna buy. Since Priyada got a job at Express, she will get 50% discount for the first purchase at Express. So, we went to Express store which she will start working from this Sunday. It did make me want to get a job at retail store, so I can get a discount!! After we got back, I called Matt & Melissa to see if they wanna hang out with us. Matt showed me his new website which he is still working on, and it looked awesome. I wanna make my website cooler, but since I have very limited design sense, I am not sure if I can make my website cooler....damnit!!

Priyada wanted to see the movie called "Liar's Club" in this afternoon, but we had couple hours before the movie started, so we were walking along the Armitage ave. We were checking the store called Active Endeavors, and I found the sports jacket I have wanted to get it so bad!! I was soooooo happy that I could find it and buy it!! Yeppppieeeeeee!!! The movie was pretty bad, I didn't like the movie at all. In the evening, we went to the restaurant near by my apartment. We ordered $20 margarita there!! It was one big margarita, but I wasn't sure if it is worth $20....it was good though. After we had margarita, we went out. I was really drunk when we were at the third bar of the night. I wasn't sure what I was doing, but I was drinking for sure!! I barely remember what I was doing at the last bar we went. I think I was drinking more!! I hope Andrew will appreciate that I went out and got drunk instead of staying in my room and playing video game!

Ouch. I am having hang over today!! Priyada explained to me what I was doing last night, but I wasn't sure if it's true or not. She told me I was screaming like a mug.....ouch. I really didn't wanna do anything today, but I had to bring Priyada back to Evanston cos today was the first day of her work at Express. After I dropped off Priyada, I just came back and slept more....ouch. I have no idea how much I spend last night.....ouch. By the way, today was Andrew's birthday. Happy birthday Andrew!!

I decided that if I don't get a job in this week, I will kill myself!! Well, maybe I won't kill myself, but I will do something I will not like such as giving all video games or giving up frech fries & milk shake!!! I am so getting a job in this week!!!!

Since I decided if I don't get a job, I will give up things I don't wanna give up, I went to couple stores to fill out the applications. I was trying to cook something in the evening because I was hungry, but I found out I have no food in refrigerator. I didn't wanna go to grocery shopping, so I just watched TV. Well, I guess I gotta go to the market tomorrow...

I was reading the news about Japanese PM defended the summit with N. Korea even though N. Korea admitted that they abducted Japanese, and eight of them have been dead. Crazy N Korea..... I think N Korea leader's, Kim Jong-il, hair style is crazy too and as much as I know, he always wears same clothes... He should go to the T.J.Max!

It just came when I was eating dinner. In this evening, I made past with tomato sauce and cole slaw. I did make tomato sauce from scratch, and it was pretty good. Also, cole slaw was pretty good too because it wasn't regular slaw, it was called asian slaw! Eeehaaaa!! Anyway, I was having very pleasant supper, but suddenly, my stomach started hurting sooooooo baaaaaaad. I wasn't sure why my stomach was hurting, so I kept eating. Of course, my stomachache didn't stop, it was getting worth. I was pretty upset because I have never had this much pain before. Although I was very very in the pain, I imagined that delivering baby could be this much pain, or more. I thought maybe I should go to the hospital or something, but I re-thought it's gonna cost alot if I went to ER, so maybe it's not good idea to go to the ER....yes, I am very practical man! Fortunately, the pain was gone after an hour of suffering. I was stupid enough to drink coffee after that and I was fine like a mug!

I have only two days to find a job.....suuucks!! Although I have no job, Andrew and I went out tonight. He is staying in Chicago over this weekend. We went to the club called Neo, and the music they were playing was pretty good. I liked the club, but I didn't like the crowd. I don't know why all guys have to wear black shirts!! I thought only gay guys wear black shirts to go out (my experience from last week), but I think it's universal thing to do for men. Well, ok.

Although I wasn't really drunk last night, I woke up around 3pm in this afternoon. I guess I am a lazy japanese! Andrew and I decided to go to the Japanese restaurant called Hey Sushi. Priyada also came back from South Bend, so three of us went to sushi restaurant together. At the restaurant, the waitress was obviously hitting on Andrew! I was really hungry, so I ate alot there. I think it's not good idea to go to sushi restaurant when you are hungry because you will end up with spending alot of money. I like to thank to my dad because I used his card! I really like Chicago because I can dress up as much as I want when I go out. There is no "too much dress up." I liked the bars at Bloomington, but I couldn't really dress up because if I do, I would really stand out and just become a weird asian guy! After we kinda dressed up, we went to the gay bar called Side Track. Priyada and I went to this bar last weekend, and I really liked it. It was the first gay bar for Andrew, and it was kinda fun to watch him. I was hoping to see some guys hitting on Andrew, but it didn't happen...damnit! Since there is absolutely no chance for Priyada to get a lucky there, we went to Neo. Andrew and I liked Neo alot because they played good music, but the crowd wasn't really attractive! So, we just danced because you don't watch, you dance! I was surprised my room was capable to have two guests! It was really fun night, but we all wished Ryan were with us! By the way, since I haven't found a job yet, I have to give milk shake and french fries....ouch.

I was literally sleeping all day. Priyada had to work from 8am in the morning, we set the alarm at 6:35am, so she would have time to get ready. After Priyada left, Andrew and I went back to sleep. I did wake up when Andrew woke up. But, after Andrew went back to his parents' house, I went back to sleep. When I woke up, it was 7pm!! I was kinda upset, but since I don't have anything to do, who cares... I was looking for my glasses, but I still cannot find! Stupid thing... Although I cannot see anything without my glasses, I watched the Emmy Award show. I didn't like when people from Everybody Loves Raymond got awards because I hate that show! Also, I didn't understand why West Wing was the best drama series...I mean three consecutive years... I was pretty happy with Friends won the best comedy series because I like Friends alot! Well, I think today was a good day too...

I was sleeping all day today..... I don't know why I am so sleepy and tired. It gotta be my allergy medication, not because of my age! Tomorrow, I have to buy the end of evangelion!

Yeppieee, I think I got a job. I was trying to buy the end of evangelion and earth&beyond, I couldn't find any stores...damnit! But, I went to Evanston and watched the spirited away with Priyada. The movie was really really good. Andrew doesn't know what he is missing. Hakuuuuuuuuuu!! By the way, I am very fine Matt! You guys are ever so sweet!

I am still looking for the end of Evangelion...mmmm. I went to the internet center to ask the manager if he still wanted me to be there in this evening for training. But, he wasn't working today, so I just left my email and phone number again... He was supposed to email me last night about the detail what I should do, but he didn't.....mmmmm. Although I couldn't start my job today, I was pretty happy because I got books which I ordered at Amazon.com today! Yupppieeeee. I love amazon.com because the site is very easy to navigate even though they have tons of stuffs, and books are usually cheaper than regular store. Also, amazon.com is very addictive...well, I think I am addicted to online shopping!

It's all new! Yes, I watched Friends season premiere tonight. Ahhhhh, I actually didn't like the episode that much. Oh well.... After I watched Will&Grace, I went to Melissa&Matt's house. Melissa showed me all Cds she used to listen when she was a kid. I am not sure about 9 years old girl listening Nine Inch Nails... Anyway, she was kind enough to let me borrow all Cds in her shoe box! In this weekend, I am gonna just listen Nine Inch Nails and Smashing Pumpkins!

I was studying for GRE today and thinking about GRE might not be that bad after all. I just need to make more flash cards! Melissa, Priyada, Matt, and I went to see the band which Melissa loves tonight. We got there around 9pm and after we got stamped, we had a dinner. I ordered fish & chips and veggie chill. Fish & chips wasn't as good as Irish Lion, and veggie chill wasn't as good as Laughing Planet. Mmmm, I miss both of restaurants in Bloomington!! The band was pretty good. I really liked them. There was a stupid couple trying to make out during the band was playing. We were pretty pissed, but same time, we were entertained by them! Oh well, I hate happy making out couple because they are happy!!

La la la~. I finally got the end of evangelion today. Yeppieee!! Well, I watched it, and I didn't like it. I think there were too much flesh and blood! And I have no idea about the ending! What the fuck was that!!!! What happened to others during the third impact?? They were just melted into LCL?? I think I liked the original episode 25 & 26... I was pretty confused about the evangelion, so I made sushi to calm down. I think I like making sushi. There was a song about sushi I used to listen when I was a kid. The song itself was really stupid because it was just saying "eat sushi~ eat sushi!!" Japanese pop songs are really strange....

It's Sunday! Yaaaaaay!!! Well, anyway, I have been working on my website for past couple days. Since I have very limited design skill, I am having such a hard time to come up how I should design new website. I pretty much stole the basic design for my current site from other sites, I have been feeling guilty about it. I am hoping to finish making it by Oct 1st, so my site can have fresh new start which I need so bad right now!!!

It's Monday! Yaaaaaaaay!!!! Well, anyway, as usual, I applied couple jobs today. Mmmmmm, I am pretty sure I get a job, but I cannot help applying jobs because I wanna have second job at retail store. I wonder what happened to all my resumes I dropped off... I am still working on my new website, and it looks awful because I am not stealing any designs from any sites...I suck!
