Hey so it’s been a while since my last blog (on myspace). I was recently reminded of blogging again because I was hanging out with my friend Jane and she said I haven’t updated my blog In a while so I figured, hey lets get a new one up! Before you continue reading, I must warn that this blog will be extremely long due to the fact that I haven’t blogged in forever. I will probably just throw down as much random shit as I can off my head of what has happened since my last blog… or things that really piss me off, which has been happening frequently this past month.
Let’s see…where to start, my last blog I believe was about my encounter with the homeless male who tried to fight me. A lot has definitely happened since then. That event probably happened around spring time before finals. I was able to finally finish my first year of college! It went by pretty fast and I can’t believe I’m already starting my second year. I still have no idea what I want to do but what the hell, I’ll just keep taking stuff. Finals were pretty rough and I’ve never had such low grades in my life. Not to brag but I’ve always had a 4.0 until I got to UW. High school was too easy and I had a terrible mentality when it came to studying during college. But it’s whatever.. I don’t let it get to me. I get what I deserve and I’ll just work harder next year.
Overall, my first year wasn’t much different than what I had experienced before. People always talk about the “college experience” and living out, but I didn’t get to do any of that because I commuted everyday! Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live on campus, but I guess I’m saving my mom a lot of money and she also wants me at home. People always give me shit for not moving out but in my eyes, I don’t really think it’s always that worth it. I mean it sounds awesome and everything, but sometimes I think it would be better to just save my mom the money. Maybe things would also be different if my dad was still here. Honestly, I probably won’t move out for a long, long time. People usually think I’m crazy for staying at home, but I think it’s more of an Asian culture thing. For the most part, Vietnamese people always stay home and live with their parents until they’re married. Moving out sounds super nice, but I don’t think I could leave my mom to live at home by herself after all she’s done for me.
Anyways, the commute to school every single day is not as bad as people think it is though. The bus ride is usually only 30-45 minutes and most of the time I sleep so it’s basically a nap time for me. I’m always so tired I would just go in and close my eyes. By the time I open my eyes, I’m already at my bus stop at home. Speaking of freakin taking the bus…during my first year I overslept my stop on one of the days going home. I was pretty pissed off because nobody even bothered to wake me up especially when my stop was the very last stop on the list. When I finally woke up, I looked around and didn’t see anyone. I thought to myself, “weird…its quite an empty bus today.” Then I glanced out the window and noticed the exit signs were going down rather than up. It took me several moments to realize what was going on but then I instantly said, “fucking shit.” I got up and ran to the front of the bus stop to tell the bus driver what had happened. When he looked in the rear mirror he jumped and nearly had a heart attack. He thought the bus was empty and that he had seen a ghost or something. He was pretty chill about it after he realized I was a human being, and took me to the nearest bus stop. Luckily I was not back in Seattle or my day would have been further ruined.
Normally, in a situation like this, it wouldn’t be too terrible because then you would just whip out your cell phone and make a quick phone call to a friend to come pick you up. The thing is…earlier that day in the morning; I had lost my damn cell phone. you might ask why? It was because I had overslept on the bus again and the bus was already at UW! I woke up and frantically looked for my phone but I must’ve dropped it in between the seats while I was asleep. I eventually said screw it because it was taking so long and just got off the bus. But anyways, I had to wait at least an hour to find the right bus stops and get back to my original bus stop where my car was parked at the park and ride. What a day.
After summer ended, we got to go on a lovely vacation with the family to Cancun Mexico. We stayed for a week at the Barcelona resort with all of the cousins, aunts, and uncles. I don’t really want to go into too much detail because there’s so much to talk about…but I guess to sum it up, it was a blast. The vacation to a resort was definitely a stress reliever after finals week. Not to mention, I think I killed my liver drinking too much. The resort we stayed at was “all inclusive” meaning, once you pay the fee to enter…its ALL YOU CAN DRINK AND ALL YOU CAN EAT. I drank every single night for 7 nights with the cousins, and I don’t think im too proud of it but it was an experience I suppose. Oh and I forgot to mention, the last day I had a hang over and I ended up losing my Wallet, Phone, Camera, and Mp3 player. Pretty sweet.
After we came back from Cancun…I can’t really remember what I did. I went to Canada for a friends birthday party, and I had some friends from Oregon come visit for several days. For the most part, I just chilled and hung out with the homies and did stupid things to entertain ourselves.
Lately however, I’ve been getting quite agitated for many reasons. One being, people who create short worded responses thru text and people who text you but don’t respond because they were busy doing something “at the time.” They then decide to never text you back at all, even when they are free several hours after reading the text. You know, I guess maybe I shouldn’t get mad about those kinds of things but if you’re going to do that, then simply don’t ever text me because I will get pissed if I ask you a question and you respond with “no” or if you just don’t respond at all. Why? Cause then I can’t tell if you’re pissed off, or if you don’t feel like talking, or if you’re just simply socially challenged.
Another thing that bothers me would be Peter. I don’t normally like talking trash, especially about my older brother, but he’s one of the most useless human beings that I know. You know what, that’s not even talking trash because its simply truth. And it’s sad to know that this useless human being happens to have my DNA inside of him. I swear to god I act as the older brother when compared to him. I basically clean up after his mess with EVERYTHING. I can’t remember the last time he’s mowed the lawn, washed the dishes, clean the bathroom, or even vacuum the house. The other day he broke the back door lock to get into the house because he had no key. Real responsible right? That’s not even the worst part, he hasn’t even fixed it yet. So today I had to go out to Home Depot to buy a new door lock and probably will replace it on my own tomorrow for something HE did.
You know, it would probably be fine with me if he didn’t do any chores around the house, but the worst part is that he creates a mess with everything he does and never cleans up after himself. When he eats, he leaves his bowls on the counter or on the table. How hard is it to toss it in the sink really? When he comes home he throws his shit everywhere and just leaves it. I duno, the list goes on and on. Basically what he does is just make a mess for everyone in the house and my Mom hates it, and so do i. What pisses me off even more is that he always thinks he’s right. Couple of weeks ago I tried to pay the phone bill for my mom. I needed to know the online password but I couldn’t get a hold of Peter. When I finally talked to him, he told me he didn’t want to respond to my texts or return my phone calls because he thinks I’m “irritating.” What kind of fucking 24 year old does that. There are so many things I can say about him but it’s really all too much. Every time we argue, it’s because he’s being completely irrational.
One night, he was gone for nearly 2 days and didn’t contact my mom at all. I don’t care if he’s 24 years old, my mom is worried about him and he needs to call home and tell her whats going on. If he can’t deal with that, then he needs to move out immediately. She pays for everything so it’s not unreasonable for her to request her son call home every once and a while. She was so worried she told me she wanted to call 911. I told her Peter is just stupid and is out with his friends. It’s funny cause I was so pissed I sent him a text asking if he had “down syndrome.” When he finally saw it, he texted me back saying, “no but I fucking hate you and I mean it.” Personally, I thought my comment about him was kind of funny, but I think he really meant it when he told me he hates me. Good, now move out so I don’t have to deal with your 12 year old self anymore.
On another note…don’t you hate it when someone tells you something about someone, so every time you see them that “something” comes up to your head? You try to forget about it, but it’s hard. The funny thing is they have no idea you know or if anybody even knows period. But if you even mention it to them they’ll laugh and agree with you…but they’re lying. I suppose sometimes be careful what you text to people eh? It could be not true, and i guess kids do tend to talk to their buddies.
So what’s been going on besides all of that? My birthday was pretty recent and i finally turned 19 years old. I didn't really do anything for my birthday but i didnt really feel like it either i guess. We went out to eat pho with the family and i got an action figure from anthony haha. My mom gave me 50 dollars and that was pretty much it. School starts again in 2 weeks and I am quite depressed. I guess time goes on and we have to do what we have to do. I’ve been going back to the gym a lot recently to get back into shape. I want to start boxing again and hopefully have a boxing match sometime this year or in the spring time. A friend of mine today told me I felt a little chubby when she hugged me. I guess that’s my cue to work even harder! I also bought my Jay-Z tickets today with all the homies. I’ve never been to a concert like this so I’m pretty stoked to at least say ive gone to a rap concert or something. The last concert I went to was a orchestrated concert playing Final Fantasy music. Yeah I know, sounds sad right? Haha but I really enjoy those kind of things so it’s whatever. I guess I have a broad taste in music. I love everything from piano, to video game music, to orchestrated, and rap. I love it all, except for country of course.
If you’ve managed to have read this far, I give you kudos. That’s a quite a bit to read, and it’s really not all that interesting. Basically what’s been going on with my life and my bitching about Peter.
