  • This was a while ago and I really should've written this down earlier.

    On the drive down from San Jose after a very fun weekend at Ivan's I was feeling pretty bummed.
    I knew that back in SB there were no group of friends who I had as much fun with.
    It didn't help that nobody was in town in SLO when I stopped by.
    I was supposed to meet up with YoungSu but he had already left to drive up to San Jose to man a booth at a conference.
    So I was driving down, probably past Nipomo area somewhere, when it hit me.

    Having fun isn't enough for me.

    All this time, I've been seeking for fun, seeking for company.
    I realized that what I really need is to have a meaningful life.
    I'm not going to actively shy myself away from having fun.
    I know that in my pursuit of a meaningful and fruitful life, I will have some very fun times.
    It just won't be my focus or my goal anymore.

    Right now, I'm not sure what that means or what that looks like.
    I just know that I want to bear fruit with my life wherever I am.
    Talked to Joel, Ivan, and PYS about it and they all seemed excited about this change of mind; this sense of discontent.
    I pray that this search will lead me to live my life as God wills

    My car is still acting up.
    Got an oil change and a transmission fluid flush over the weekend.
    I think I'm going to keep driving my car until it dies.
    Probably should take it to a mechanic and get at least some things fixed.

  • reminiscence

    i just took a brief stroll to the main building at work to grab some snacks.
    it rained recently, so the weather is considerably cooler now.
    and because of the daylight saving, the daylight was starting emit its orange hue already.

    the brief, quiet walk really reminded me of my first quarter at calpoly.
    those chilly fall days where i would walk to my dorm room from class.
    it'd feel just like this.

    i really miss those days.

  • new hobby

    recently i've been reading more.
    of the Word and also other literature.
    there is a movie coming out called "the soloist" which i saw the preview of while watching "eagle eye".
    the movie looked really good so i worked some internet magic and found out that it's based on a book!
    a true story nonetheless!
    so i set my mind that i will read this book.
    sooner or later.

    and one day i just decided to start reading.
    so i went to the neighborhood barnes & nobles.
    picked up "the soloist" and also picked up "ulysses".
    the latter is apparently the best novel of all time and one of the most important work of literature in the 21st century.
    i thought you would like to know that in case you were ever on jeopardy.
    i finished "the soloist" in like 4 days.
    it was a really good book. you should read it.
    made me consider social work as an alternate occupation.

    started reading ulysses yesterday and it's hard.
    not sure if i'll ever finish.  it's kind of like back in high school reading romeo and juliet.
    i need to actually focus and keep track of what's going on.
    i think it's actually harder than shakespeare....
    it just wasn't relaxing like reading "the soloist".
    i guess it's a good challenge.

    any of you read good books lately?

  • hola,

    currently working in santa barbara
    nothing too exciting
    had a hectic move from SLO
    much thanks to mr kenny ho for driving up to SLO to help me move

    most of my stuff is still in boxes in my room as i have been too lazy to actually unpack them
    i should at least unpack my drums soon

    went to the chinese church in sb last sunday
    it wasn't a good sunday to visit as it was their joint service of their traditional and contemporary service and they also had a guest speaker so i didn't even get to hear the senior pastor
    i'll need to visit it again to get a better idea of the church
    so yeah, still very much looking for a church to get plugged in to(should that be "plugged into"?).
    i've been doing some haxxor googling for a church that has mid-week bible study but it's harder than i thought it to be
    maybe they're just not well-advertised
    if you know of one, please do let me know

    also, xanga now has ads for "korean cupid," a dating site for koreans
    it seems like dating sites are getting more and more specific
    i'll enroll when they have a dating site for korean christians from hawai
