| ICS 4: Kind of a depressing class. For the good though. Everything that happens to me I now look with a different perspective. I'm I treated a certain way beacuse of the way I look, regardless or whether it's intentional or not. Do I knowlingly discriminate other's beacuse of the way they look. lot's to think about. Anyways, here are some pictures since my last entry. Should worl now. Like before, not 56K freindly!

Finally, 2006!
This will be a short entry. 2005 was the most enlightening year of my life. I want to continue that momentum.
After talking to Kristen today, I realize too that I need to strengthen the relationships I have right now. I think I was too comfortable and started to take advantage to them. I don’t want to do that. I must better myself; better my character as well and hope the heavens will guide me. I really hope all of you can forgive me. Sorry for not keeping in touch especially those from South San Jose. I will make more effort to talk to you and to get to know you better!
Last year was a year of learning. Now this is the year of changing.

MSN.com had an article about the 5 types of woman every guy should date and 5 types of men every woman should date before they ever tie the knot. I like this one:
Type #1: The Older Woman
If you haven’t tried dating up the age chain, you don’t know what you’ve been missing. Mature women have been places, seen things, and have a sophistication and wisdom that you, my young friend, can—and should—soak up like a sponge. “Older women know who they are and what they want,” explains Dr. Gilda. Spend time with one and you’ll gain a terrific perspective on life, and realize that being a desirable woman doesn’t mean being a woman younger than you are. Says Patrick Hayden of Seattle, WA, “I definitely recommend dating an older woman. I dated one when I was 19 and she was 30, and what she taught me carries over to this day.” While a knowledge of wine, travel and the human condition are usually par for the course, so is something else: a tutorial on how to please a woman in bed. “The older woman I dated was like a sex mentor to me. She taught me absolutely everything I know,” recalls Patrick.
You can read the rest if it here.
And for women, here.
Unfortunately for me, Koreans are the only Asian culture where age is a BIG factor in a relationship; a man HAS to be older than the woman…PERIOD. It’s been getting better over the years, but the majority still thinks this way. There’s even women out there that won’t date a guy because he’s ONE DAY younger than she is! Chinese don’t care. Japanese don’t care. Filipinos don’t care. Vietnamese don’t care. Malaysians don’t care. Taiwanese don’t care. So why are Koreans so anal about age?! And if you know anything about my life last year (very few people do), all the Korean’s I ever had feelings for were coincidently older. I hate being considered the younger brother…. >_< | | |
| “When you love someone, you let them know.
And you don’t let them go.
It’s hard enough being alone,
Missing your family, missing your home.
Whether you’re right or wrong, I’ll be by your side,
Keeping your hope alive.
I know how it feels to cry.
So you ‘ain’t alone in your struggle for life.” ~Lyfe Jennings
Those are the lyrics I put in the unfinished picture I drew here. I started discover my once beloved passion for art. It’s a slow and tedious start, but it’s a start none the less. I’m really eager to finish it, but I don’t know where my color pencils are and I’m not ready to use Prisma Colors yet.
What kind of sparked my interest in art again was after seeing “Memoirs of a Geisha.” I originally thought it was a movie about a geisha who fell in love with a white guy who had “yellow fever” but because her family was Japanese and didn’t like foreigners, their relationship was on the rocks. Boy was I wrong. I’m kind of glad I am wrong for reason you will have to assume.
It was a beautiful movie, but beacuse 99% of the cast spoke with a Chinese accent, that kind of ruined it for me since the begining.... But if I was a typical white guy who couldn't tell the difference, I guess that woun't have bugged me as much. =P
I can’t believe how superficial the world is; INCLUDEING me. It must take some really special people to see beyond the outer appearance. There’s another thing for me to contemplate.

FIANLS ARE HERE! So I got to make this entry quick.
Kate! I'd love to take a class with you. Remember high shcool?! Although you were a teacher's aid and not a chem student. Still you were in that class none the less for a while.
Despite a lot of things going wrong, I know after this week, a huge load will be off my sholders. Plus, I learn to better my character and become a more mature individual.
It was nice to see more of my street fam on Franky's 18th birthday. Happy birthday man! dang, you're already 18? I remember when you were a baby! Time flies out the mother f'en door quick!
Sorry for not giving any e-props this week (and I still don't know what one earth they do), but I'll get back to everyone next week. Right now, I got to hit the books! | | |
