Well this will be officially the last "HIMMW" post... sooo let me recap this past decade
2000- Rude awakening... didn't know high school would be such a pain... but found out that I love football
2001- Rough year... school was also another pain... it seriously killed me... I think this is the year that I started really pursuing after girls.. but nothing ever came to pass
2002- Better year- ended sophomore year badly and went to mexico missions to get away from the family and came back as a christian... after that school was much better but I didn't get to play football..
2003- Highs and Lows.. Junior year pretty much consumed my life.. nothing really exciting happened
2004- Good, bad, and horrible... Good because I played football again... Good because I was a senior who really didn't do much school work, bad because I was growing up and starting to forge a path for myself.. horrible because my dog, the bestest bud in the whole wide world died...
2005- Interesting... Going to de anza was probably the most boringest thing you could ever do. but later on in the year I went to KCCC and that is where I met many good bad as well as fake people.
2006- Exciting... KCCC pretty much was the focus of this year... hit it off really well with this girl... went on mission to thailand.. and was ready for a challenging year with KCCC
2007- Fatigue... KCCC pretty much drained every single moment of my life this year... the same girl and I were really becoming close and I thought she liked me... overall beginning of the year was extremely difficult, but at the end of it missions made up for it. Totally dominated beijing and came back refreshed
2008- Disappointments... KCCC was becoming a burden upon me and I was asked to do uncomfortable things which lead to my rebellion on them. Luckily good ol Chuck came by to the rescue and helped me to really learn the meaning of sacrifice... but still was bitter towards KCCC, and the girl that I thought that liked me really didn't like me and kind of played me.. so at the end of the summer, I decided to depart from KCCC even though I had went to school. So with all that time I decided to take up coaching football and found the passion I once had for this sport. Ended the year very normally, nothing good or bad happened..
2009- New beginning... Most of the year I just went to school and waited until spring football practice. Also took up softball and really loved the fact that I was competing as an athlete rather than a coach. So pretty much from May- November I was constantly busied with life. Football, to softball, church retreats, to praise band practices. Just recently after the football season was over I really found some rest, and was actually quite bored. But probably the best thing out of 2009 was finding a new church. It was nice to be around people my age and the level of spirituality. And to end on a very good note... Went to my favorite noona's wedding and gave the cold shoulder to the girl that I liked and she looked kinda hurt by it.. (it felt oh soooo good), and the last retreat was pretty darn good...
so.. if I had to sum up the decade... I would say that it pretty much sucked because of the first half... so hopefully the new year and decade will be better. and with that folks I conclude my last "HIMMW" post.

How I Met My Wifey 1x10- The Last "Uno"
Hmm so it's been exactly 7 months since my last post... did I have anything to report in those 7 months? Yes... in fact life went on as planned. Let me list what went as planned...
Survived summer through fall... didn't really expect to make it through because I was jam packed with my schedule, but weirdly enough I always found time to rest and rebound from whatever I was doing.
Coached football... I made it through another year of coaching those boys and if there is seriously one thing that I learned is that as a coach you have to put your team in a situation where we can take the victory.. sadly enough it didn't happen, but overall I was pleased from how we progressed, it was indeed a great learning experience. In fact in this season alone, my decision making in life has been much sharper than ever.
Now sadly enough those were the two big things that I expected to go as planned now there were many things that didn't go as planned, and yes some were bad, but some were also very pleasant.
Injuries... Well I started playing softball this summer, and my first season was okay... I was able to hit, but it wasn't consistent. However in the 2nd season I started off both good and bad.. good because I was finally becoming a consistent hitter, bad I got banged up pretty badly in the first game... bad ankle sprain on the right leg, and bruised heel bone on the left. But since I was a coach, I received free medical attention at the school I was coaching, and within 2 weeks I was back to normal... And as soon as I was becoming a monster hitter... I really messed up my right leg and for about 10 weeks I can still feel the pain, but it's getting much better.
New Church... Well I decided to check a new church out because... hmm actually I really don't have a reason, I just decided to check it out because I heard a good things about this church. And let me say that it is very nice being people around your age. In fact I really enjoyed the first sermon and decided to come out because it's been a while since I really took in a sermon and remembered it. Weirdly enough I really do believe that at this church I can turn my walk with God 180 degrees and finally start walking down the good path. I'm actually excited about this upcoming year with this church.. and let me say the only things that really excite me in life is good food, video games, and sports.. it's been a while since I've been excited about anything church related.
This blog... so I named my last ten posts as "How I Met My Wifey." The reason being that last year I decided to lose all this weight and get a girlfriend... and sadly enough the losing weight and finding a girl didn't even start. So I decided that this is the finale for my posts being named "How I Met My Wifey" thus which I titled it the last "uno" (uno-one) so this is will be my last post of this era. But I must have talked about so many ridiculous things when I started this how i met my wifey thing. Well before the year ends I shall write one more time to sum up how this decade was for me... but until then
peace out hombres!

How I Met My Wifey 1x09- Little Cupertino
So where was I? Ahhh yes now I remember. I talked how I didn't want to do things that would hold me back. And after pondering about it I have actually decided to do nothing... For me the "plan" was to graduate and become a staff... and then the "plan" was to go date the "girl" (the one 3 yrs ago girl), and live down in So-Cal, and then after a year or two maybe marry her and keep on doing the staff thing. But I've found out that the "plan" never works out... So basically screw that "plan" and screw the new "plan."
So then what do I do without a plan? How do I go on with my life? It's simple... I can't design my life like some kind of building, it doesn't work that way... I just have to live it and it'll design itself. So does that mean I do nothing? Absolutely not... I just listen to what the Big Man is saying upstairs and just take the eventually take the leap.
So yeah there you have it folks... I'm not going to have this illustrious well thought out master plan for my life... I'm just going to live it day by day and see where I'm going. But the first thing I will definitely do is lose some freaking weight in the summer.. For too long has this tub of fat been clinging onto my stomach and sides... I shall shed these handles off my body... I'll somehow find a way to shed the pounds but thats for tomorrow to decide. alrite short post this time
peace out hombres!

How I Met My Wifey 1x08- Spoiler Alert
So last post I talked about if I had taken the right path... And basically it was all because of this one friend's facebook post. Her simple 2 sentence post made me think real long and hard (that's what she said). And for about a week I wrestled with it and at the same time I was praying for my future wifey. But all of that came to a stop... All of a sudden her post was just another ordinary post. All of a sudden my prayers for my future wife are becoming vague... Why and what happened you ask? Well basically the new football season started up and I'm back to coaching mode. And basically I remember why I love coaching.. and its simple...
I can be myself... I can be around people that understand the goal that is set. None of us "work out your frustration crap." When people become frustrated, its usually because the goal isn't met. I like to think most people in this world are understanding for the first few times around. But after like the 3rd or 4th time... someone has got to step in and say "hey stop dicking around... your wasting my time and your time" And boom with that statement people will refocus and see what needs to be done the next time around.
And basically thats where I realize that if I do choose that path of a staff... that's what I will have to deal with... I'll have to deal with situations in a certain manner... In football if something isn't met the 3rd or 4th time around. I clearly express my thought to the player.. and boom the player responds by doing it correctly...
I'm not bashing on KCCC but in all honesty I don't think its something I can do for the next 5 years... I can't hold myself back when things aren't going the way it should. I do understand that there are situations beyond my control.. but when there are situations where I can control... I do expect the results to show.
But again who knows... cause honestly her 2 sentence post seriously gave me a good thinking if I was on the right path... and honestly... I don't know if I'm on the right path... All I know is that being true to myself and doing the things that I love are a good starting point. Maybe her words are like a seed that planted in my heart... but honestly who knows what the future lies ahead for us...
All I know right now at this exact moment is that I'm freaking tired.. peace out hombres!

How I Met My Wifey 1x07- Nothing Good Happens After 2 A.M.
so where were we? oh right.. so basically that's how my story went down with that girl. In the end it was never meant to be. I lost a good friend (the girl), lost a friend (the bloke/3rd wheel guy) And for the longest time I had the hardest time accepting that loss. And in that time frame I hate/despised/detested them. And now after a year I find myself rooting for them. I really think they were meant to be together. Even though I am still curious as to what exactly happened and what went down with our relationship; I wouldn't mind if I never find out. And with that in mind the good old saying of "time heals everything" is quite true. I was just too close to the puzzle to see the picture that was forming.
And that brings me to the present... recently I became friends with an old friend in my college ministry. In a weird way whenever I did something with that ministry, she seemed to be close by. For example spring retreat, she was in my group twice. For missions, we went to the same place twice; thailand and beijing. And throughout most of my career in KCCC, I never really made the effort in getting to know her. I guess the reason was because I was into that girl before. So recently I decided to add her on facebook; I was lounging around facebook and I saw that "you may know this person" tool and there she was. I was bored so I decided to add her.
Much to my delight, she remembered me and she clearly remembered my testimony years ago back in my first spring retreat.. and asked a question that I put aside last year, and that's where my life is now... I can't help but think how my life would have turned out if I had chosen that path. And honestly her response on facebook has got me thinking..
Did I make the right decision? Is my life where it should be? Is this my destined path?
So many questions have risen since her response... and honestly I'm confused... a bit nostalgic, and a bit regretful... but at the same time I do remember why I left that ministry...
and on that bombshell... we'll see how this shapes out...

How I Met My Wifey 1x06- Unlucky Dime
So now I will continue on with the 2 years part...
Well after talking to her for about 10 mins, she left to go spend time with her family and I went off to Thailand for my missions. Thailand was alrite, didn't really enjoy it. I just really wanted to go home. So I spent a total of 5 weeks away from the states and now was on my way back to Los Angeles. I spent a week at LA to go to a debriefing. And there it she was, after 6 long weeks of not seeing each other I saw her. I was a pretty happy to see her, and she too was happy. But unfortunately we didn't have time to talk, we both had to spend times with our teams debriefing and spending one last time together.
I ended up working on a project for our team the whole night. The next day arrived and everybody was going to the park. But unfortunately she couldn't, she was going shopping with her friends or family. I was pretty bummed out about it and from there on everything was a blur.
Now the new semester began and I was appointed daepyo of San Jose KCCC. And our journey starts off with a retreat. When I first saw her, I decided to go with the "oh I didn't know you were there" approach. To much of my surprise she did the same thing. I knew she knew that I was there. Weirdly enough we both didn't show our excitement in seeing each other. A hours pass by and everybody is sleeping throughout the retreat site. Being the type of person that doesn't like to take random naps, I went around and scouted the area. Along my journey I found that she was alone playing the guitar. Seeing this as an outstanding opportunity I sat next to her and we talked for a good 20-30 mins. The retreat came and went but something was weird, I felt a little distant from her.
For about a good two months we just had a few chats here and there, but never really hit it off like we did a year ago. I knew something was wrong and I had to fix it. And just as always, an opportunity came up. One of my staff was getting married. I was suiting up and she was dressing up. I thought, wow this is perfect. Unfortunately when I saw her, she ignored me. But later on after the reception, we went to this yogurt place and we sat next to each other and had a blast. Now I thought this was the game saver, it felt like we hit it off again.
For most of the year it was the same, but I decided to be more blunt in my actions. I wanted her to full out know that I liked her. And for the most part she seemed to accept my actions. But this is where that bloke that I mentioned before (the one that was the third wheel in the korea trip) came into the picture. I noticed that she really started opening up to him and that she was in the middle of two guys. I was naturally pist cause this guy was here to cock block me. As the year progressed those two got closer, and me and her stayed the same. Now the end of the year came and I knew that she was starting to like him, but I thought if I had any chance of a rebound it would be in the form of a friend. So me, her and that bloke all went to missions and as usual me and her chatted a lot. We went to this huge conference in Korea, and there I made an statement to God. I told him "God if this is meant to be then our relationship will get better, if not then I guess it was never meant to be." So back to the conference. Well this was a huge huge conference so I rarely saw her there.
The conference passed and all of us went off to our mission field. I didn't get to see her for three weeks. But when I did see her she was very very friendly. She pushed me, and was really happy to see me. I thought okay, God wants this to happen. We didn't get the chance to hang out in Korea, then unfortunately it was my time to go back home.
Now this is the "1 year ago" part. Now I haven't seen her for a good month and the ministry was set to meet at the prayer night thing. But when I saw her, she completely ignored me, gave me the cold shoulder. It was if I had done something so hurtful to her that she rejected me as a friend. A few weeks later after doing some investigative work, I figured out that the bloke (3rd wheel dude) and her liked each other. And slowly but surely I was becoming the 3rd wheel. As the year progressed everything just went down hill. Eventually at the end of the year I took the hint and moved on. I never found out why she suddenly turned the cold shoulder on me, but I guessed that this bloke told her to do that since they were into each other.
If I ever do get the chance to find out what happened, I think I would definitely want to hear it. Now that concludes this post. I talked about 3 years ago, 2 years ago, and a year ago. Next I will be talking about the present. Something interesting just happened.
Peace out Hombres!

How I Met My Wifey 1x05- The Eagle and the Fish
So lately I've been thinking about the past 2-3 years of my life. Where was I? What did I do? And what happened to it all?
3 years ago...
Well 3 years ago I was in my 2nd year of college and having a blast with KCCC. And at the beginning of my 2nd year I had just gotten over the stages of really pursuing to get a girlfriend. And the funniest thing happened. I was looking at my former AIM logs and I wrote down. "You know what I'm just going to focus on being a soonjang. And worry about dating and girls later." I said that because I was sick of searching for a girl. I liked a few girls and while we were great friends and enjoyed each others presence, it was just only that, nothing more. So thats when I decided to just focus on God, Church, Ministry, and school, and then the funniest thing happened... before I go on let me say that when I meet new people I end up forgetting their face and their name 5 seconds after meeting them. So now getting on with the story; I met like 30 different people in KCCC one day, and by the end of the greeting session I did realize there were some good looking girls, but I was so excited to see old friends that I didn't care about the new blokes that I just met.
And then a few weeks, or month and half pass by and I started to see who started to attend regularly to KCCC stuff. And then I remember who I met and I smoothly try to act is if I remembered them. So what is this current post all about? Let me tell you... I met this girl... nothing astounding, or intriguing stood out from her. She looked like some normal korean girl that is fulfilling her parents dream of attending a university. Now at the time I didn't think much of her, except that she was sorta cute... and why was she sorta cute, because she was a mysterious person. Didn't have flashy personality, didn't dress impressively, was a very quiet person. So naturally I passed her on as a typical nerdy asian fob girl.
A few weeks later go by and something pivotal happened between me and her. I remember that in one of our friday night prayers, we did a group intercessory prayer thing. And to be specific, we all shared our burdens to the group. And 3 blokes would share and then the group would pray. And that night there was about 17 chaps in the prayer meeting. And I happened to be next to this mysterious typical asian fob girl (for further references lets name her girly), and I thought she was this type of person that was very reserved and didn't share personal things. Well was I wrong... This girl started sharing her problems about her financial status... and not to get into detail, she started crying and to be honest with you sitting next to a crying girl that you don't know, and being the kind of person I was... I just sat there very uncomfortably as she was telling her story. Thank God that her friend was there and comforted her. But the next thing that really hooked me was that she said "I don't blame anybody for it, and I know the big guy upstairs will fix this, it's just so frustrating to deal with the university, but I have faith that God will fix everything." Never in my life have I heard someone younger than me say this kinda stuff. I was sort of expecting something like... "I have this money problem, and its so bad, and I blame my parents, and the reason why I came up North was to get away from them" But she said the total opposite.
Now as I heard this, my heart was flickering... not in a sense that oh man I love this girl, but more in a sense of... these kind of people exist? and they exist at her age?!? Man was I astonished by attitude towards life and God. I was immediately hooked, intrigued, dazzled, and the list goes on; to this girl... And I knew that I just had to get to know her better...
To make this post short... I did get to know her and slowly but surely I knew that I really like this girl because of her genuineness, kindess, and other stuff... Sadly the year went by in a flash and I had gotten really close to her... and I really thought she liked me back... (there was this other guy, but this is my side of the story so I'll just leave that bloke out of this) And as the year ended we decided to go on overseas missions. So I hadn't seen her in a full month, and by golly... I missed her, and finally we were reunited in Korea, and when I saw her I was probably one of the happiest blokes there. My team said they had never seen me this happy before. Well same thing with her. She was exhausted from her missions, but yet she was just as excited to see me. And... this is getting very very long... so I'll end it soon, so I saw her again the next day, and the next day was sort of this kind of thing were you can do whatever you want. And I decided to hangout with her... I didn't ask her or anything, we just sorta hung out.. for like the whole day, and the other bloke that I didn't mention followed us. But we hung out for a good six hours, and we were just walking around to different events together, then hang out with our friends, then go off on our own, and had a great time together and I really thought this gal really likes me... again for the sake of making this short I'll have 2 or 3 other posts telling about the next 1-2 years... but yes our reunion had to end, before I left we said our goodbyes, she said that she'll miss me and told me to be strong when I go to missions. It was actually quite depressing... because I thought this would be the last time I see her until another month or month and half. So we leave spend a few days on a beggars urban adventure. What is that you ask? We are forbidden to use any money in Korean, and had to depend on churches for survival... It was fun, but I really missed her so it sucked. So finally it was over and I was reunited with my mission team. Let me tell you that I was visibly depressed. And I saw my team and decided to pack my things and head off to Thailand. BUT!!! Someone had patted my back, and it was girly... Never in my life had I been so pleasantly surprise. We greeted each other and said "wow... I didn't think I would see you again for a while." So I spent about a good 10 mins talking to her then I had to go off and go to my mission field, and she went off to spend time with her family.
And with that I conclude the 3 years ago... I'll update soon about the 2 years section... because its late and I got gay school early in the morning...
3 years ago...
Well 3 years ago I was in my 2nd year of college and having a blast with KCCC. And at the beginning of my 2nd year I had just gotten over the stages of really pursuing to get a girlfriend. And the funniest thing happened. I was looking at my former AIM logs and I wrote down. "You know what I'm just going to focus on being a soonjang. And worry about dating and girls later." I said that because I was sick of searching for a girl. I liked a few girls and while we were great friends and enjoyed each others presence, it was just only that, nothing more. So thats when I decided to just focus on God, Church, Ministry, and school, and then the funniest thing happened... before I go on let me say that when I meet new people I end up forgetting their face and their name 5 seconds after meeting them. So now getting on with the story; I met like 30 different people in KCCC one day, and by the end of the greeting session I did realize there were some good looking girls, but I was so excited to see old friends that I didn't care about the new blokes that I just met.
And then a few weeks, or month and half pass by and I started to see who started to attend regularly to KCCC stuff. And then I remember who I met and I smoothly try to act is if I remembered them. So what is this current post all about? Let me tell you... I met this girl... nothing astounding, or intriguing stood out from her. She looked like some normal korean girl that is fulfilling her parents dream of attending a university. Now at the time I didn't think much of her, except that she was sorta cute... and why was she sorta cute, because she was a mysterious person. Didn't have flashy personality, didn't dress impressively, was a very quiet person. So naturally I passed her on as a typical nerdy asian fob girl.
A few weeks later go by and something pivotal happened between me and her. I remember that in one of our friday night prayers, we did a group intercessory prayer thing. And to be specific, we all shared our burdens to the group. And 3 blokes would share and then the group would pray. And that night there was about 17 chaps in the prayer meeting. And I happened to be next to this mysterious typical asian fob girl (for further references lets name her girly), and I thought she was this type of person that was very reserved and didn't share personal things. Well was I wrong... This girl started sharing her problems about her financial status... and not to get into detail, she started crying and to be honest with you sitting next to a crying girl that you don't know, and being the kind of person I was... I just sat there very uncomfortably as she was telling her story. Thank God that her friend was there and comforted her. But the next thing that really hooked me was that she said "I don't blame anybody for it, and I know the big guy upstairs will fix this, it's just so frustrating to deal with the university, but I have faith that God will fix everything." Never in my life have I heard someone younger than me say this kinda stuff. I was sort of expecting something like... "I have this money problem, and its so bad, and I blame my parents, and the reason why I came up North was to get away from them" But she said the total opposite.
Now as I heard this, my heart was flickering... not in a sense that oh man I love this girl, but more in a sense of... these kind of people exist? and they exist at her age?!? Man was I astonished by attitude towards life and God. I was immediately hooked, intrigued, dazzled, and the list goes on; to this girl... And I knew that I just had to get to know her better...
To make this post short... I did get to know her and slowly but surely I knew that I really like this girl because of her genuineness, kindess, and other stuff... Sadly the year went by in a flash and I had gotten really close to her... and I really thought she liked me back... (there was this other guy, but this is my side of the story so I'll just leave that bloke out of this) And as the year ended we decided to go on overseas missions. So I hadn't seen her in a full month, and by golly... I missed her, and finally we were reunited in Korea, and when I saw her I was probably one of the happiest blokes there.

How I Met My Wifey 1x04- What Happens Now?
Hmm lets see last time I left off with reasons why I shouldn't shoot for MSG. As of today, I am in belief that MSG has dropped the one class that I had with her. Why you ask? Simply nobody in the University system gets sick for one and a half weeks and misses three class meetings. And to add on top of that the MSG is sort of a nerdy type. Always taking notes, super attentive in class, usually participates. So my guess is that shes gone or super duper sick... but who is sick for over two weekends? I admit that she was cute and was winning me over, but ehh I'm that kinda person who has the mindset of "out of sight... out of mind" so this wasn't particulary hard on me... If she does comeback then maybe yay? I'm sort of tired of sitting back and lettings things unfold... so in conclusion for the MSG... I say peace out hombre! It was a well short lived thing...
But now onto more important things...
I guess there is much going on in my life... Sorta just being awesome here... being awesome there... school is still a drag... church is good. I guess you can say my life is on cruise control... nothing really exciting happens but at the same time life isn't crappy... just waiting for that one person to get me out of this cruise control...
I feel like a Barney Stinson... he's got everything he needs in this world... but the one thing he wants he cannot get. He can only watch from afar and wait...
Well this concludes this post...
until something grand happens... I will be on blog vacation for a while
until then... peace out hombres!

How I Met My Wifey 1x03- Where Were We?
So it's been about 2 weeks or a week... I forget... since the last post. So this Hollywood girl, the actress whose engaged, and a whole bunch of other stuff, that I talked about last week is pretty much dead to me now... I don't know what happened but ehh shes totally like a fast food drive thru... Your excited to drive in and in about 5-10 mins (or in my case 1-2 weeks) get your order and its over. Yea now for the MSG (mystery stalker girl)... She is still sorta there and about... I noticed this week she dressed exceptionally well. She looked both cute and pretty at the same time.
But I am reminded of the platinum rule... the golden rule is love thy neighbor... but there is one rule above it, the platinum rule...
Never ever ever ever love thy neighbor...
So for example your living in an apartment and you and your next door neighbor suddenly start to feel a little thing for each other... see thats a bad idea... now for me and MSG it would be a bad idea... aha let me explain to you in simple single 8 steps...
1. Attraction
The attraction is instant and undeniable, but you know better, you've seen your friends make the same mistakes before; you laughed smuggly at them... puhaha... idiots, but still, you think this is different the platinum rule doesn't apply to me... and thats step 2!
2. Bargaining
Now you start weighing the possibilities with close friends and ultimately here comes step 3
3. Submission
Even with your close friends input you jump in... now heres step 4
4. Perks
Now your together with your significant other and your are now relishing in the benefits of your relationship. now heres step 5
5. The Tipping Point
Now heres when it all starts to go downhill... or in other words this is the "oh moment(s)" heres step 6
6. Purgatory
Now all these annoyances culminate whenever your around this person.. these annoyances that lingers around is all you think about... now heres step 7
7. Confrontation
Now most relationships in a young age usually come to an end... this is where you end the relationship... now for step 8
8. Fallout
Now here comes the unavoidable backlash... and there is no true fallout... Things start to happen and you are faced in awkward situation with your former signficant other... but... there is a step 9... and it is called c0... wait for it... keep waiting... are you still waiting... now here it comes existent..
9. Coexistent
So basically this is when you move on and let it go... some never get to this step... so with this lesson.. always honor thy platinum rule.
And in concluding with todays post.. I leave you all with the best rule ever concocted by man itself... the platinum rule...
next post coming soon
peace out hombres!

How I Met My Wifey 1x02- Arrivederci, Mystery Stalker Girl...
So... its been about less than a week since I've seen the MSG (mystery stalker girl), and yes she still takes the time during class to glance back to look at me... but something happened in the same week... Well let me get to the point... There is this other girl... and let me start off saying that I do not believe in liking a girl the first time you look at her... but unfortunately it happened to me... it usually happens to the best of us. Well this girl is really really pretty. When I first saw her I was knocked off my feet by her looks. Let me tell you a little bit about her... She is an actress, graduating this coming spring, wants to live either in London or in the East Coast after she graduates... and shes engaged... Yea... what a heart breaker...
So yea when she was doing partner introductions, her partner said she is engaged and is about to get married in June or July... I forget... but yea... good game... So what's the point of this post? After getting knocked off my feet by this actress girl, I completely lost interest in the mystery stalker girl... So now instead of trying to go for the MSG... I've completely lost interest in her and now just want to go out with this actress girl... but again she's engaged and shes an actress who wants to either live in London or East Coast...
What does that mean... it means she has high expectations... So now I am left with nothing because I obviously can't hit on this actress girl, and I don't have much care about the MSG. What do I do?
Ryu Hyabusa help a fellow master ninja out...
Hopefully my next post will be called How I Met My Wifey 1x03- ReReturn!
So for the millions of bro's and chick bro's that read my blog... I leave you lost
peace out hombres

How I Met My Wifey 1x01-She Returns!
So today was my first day back at school. At 7:45AM I woke up and dragged myself to school. The first class was cool. Teacher is awesome. But the best thing about my first class at 9:00AM is the ladies. Thats right there are many hot ladies in the classroom. Well... sadly the two of the three ladies that I find hot are engaged... so yea after finding that out I wept inside, so like always I said to myself... "whatever.. just let the time pass so I can get lunch."
Now for my second class which starts at 10:30AM was a bit of a drag. The teacher won't let us use laptops so I can't update my blog on a constant basis... gay... but here's the best part. So you know the post about the mystery stalker girl... Well during the break I was saying to myself, "dangit Brian!... you shoulda just made a move on her... she totally liked you... and she was cute.." but today as I was tortured by hunger I saw that familiar face. Oh my dante... it was the mystery stalker girl... as I looked up to confirm it was her.. she gave me one of these looks... letme describe it to you all...
First she enters the room. The first thing she does is scan the room for an open seat... Then after finding her seat... She walks towards it. Soon after she scans the room to look for any familar faces. Now I am looking up at her thinking to myself, "woot how i met my wifey season 1 episode 1- She Returns! will begin" And as I am looking at her she realizes that I'm also enrolled in this class. And with that she looks at me with a quick glance and her eyes wide wide open.. then realizing that she made that look, suddenly looks away hoping that I didn't see her surprised face. After turning away oh so not ninja like... she staggers and becomes undecisive about her seat. But hoping to regain her composure she shakes off the cobwebs and decides to sit in her originally planned seat.
Now ladies and bros... letme say this... this is going to be legen wait for it... and I hope your not lactosse intolerant because the last word is dary!... it is going to be legendary! maybe I should start wearing a suit to class... haha I'll think about that one.
Hope to all write my next post of How I Met My Wifey 1x02-???

Season 1
How has my break been? Awesome... Seriously I think I needed like a week to just stay at home and just do absolutely nothing. 3 days I didn't even go outside to smell the air. I forgot what daylight looked like. This past semester seriously kick me in the face. For whoever reads this let me say that rate my professor dot com tells nothing but the truth. So all of you youngins who have a hard time with classes... seriously consider using this website to make your life a lot easier. I thought I could be heroic and fight all the work but seriously the people who succeeded in those classes were either..
1. A serious kiss ass cradling the teachers planters peanuts
2. Moochers who tag along to the kiss asses
Those were the two people that had like a 97% in the class and before finals started they were in line asking what grade they had in the class, and then they asked what they needed to do to keep that grade... seriously people... c'mon... if you have a 97% in the class for the whole semester and you come up to the professor and ask what you need to do... my guess and advice would be to do the same thing you've been doing for the past semester...
So yea people who suck up like no other + plus a very full of shiz gay teacher make a classroom shiasty... and I did I mention the subject was full of crap... seriously... rate my professor dot come does not lie... well enough of that... I'm glad I passed that class, in fact my grade in that class was surprisingly good. Doesn't matter never taking that teacher again...
Anyways that was just like 2 cents on how a college student should deal with college... (oh if you still dont understand... rate my professor dot com.)
So I still got like three more awesome weeks of break... and now since I have recovered from that disastrous semester I think it's time that I start my season 1 of How I Met My Wifey... Yes sadly enough a few months ago I was bragging about how awesome being single is, but unfortunately the age spider bit me in the butt and now I got this disease... But seriously I'm 22.5 years old and I am not getting any skinnier.. I'll always stay young but I haven't been slim since senior year of football season... so thats like... 5.5 years... Well first off my goal is to lose all these layers of sadness. So season 1 of How I Met My Wifey will being immediately... As of January 5th, 2009, I, Brian Park, will be dedicated in losing weight. Yes some of you will say... oh brian awesome park... a lot of people say that and they never accomplish that but you know what... I know... and your right... All I gotta say is you gotta do what you gotta do...
My only concern is that if I do get a girlfriend this year... will that change me? Will I seriously devote a majority of my time to her? Will my friends see that my lifestyle has changed because of her? That's probably the biggest fear I have in investing in a relationship... will I change for the worse? Because seriously... there is one thing that I refuse to give up... my identity... and I'm not talking about being a "guy". I know there are some things I have to grow out of.. but do I have to conform to her likings in order to feel like I'm pleasing her... For example if I found something funny (and it isn't really dirty or immature) but to her she found it not funny and she's all like "seriously why are you laughing?" Would I have to say to myself "Yo man... don't laugh at that anymore... your life, standards, beliefs, humor, and sadness are not yours anymore.." In all honesty I don't think I could do that... all my life I believed that honesty towards one another was the most important thing in a friendship... To this day I believe and follow that but seriously... there is one lesson I learned from this past semester... you can't trust nobody in this world... you seriously can't trust nobody in this world... the only thing you can trust is God and Jesus, but they ain't from this world... so yea... I learned this past semester... you really can't trust nobody in this world... and that seriously sucks... so with that said there needs to be changes around here... first off is lose some pounds... secondly would be to get a job... thirdly would be to... well lets see how season 1 turns out
Next Post
How I Met My Wifey 1x01-Pilot...
for those who don't understand what 1x01-Pilot is... well the 1 means season 1, the x 01 is the episode... so 1x01 means season 1 episode one... and Pilot is just the title for my first episode... I'll have different titles for each episode so after 1x01-Pilot it's going to be something like this How I Met My Wifey 1x02-????
Awesome...
