Month: October 2006

  • Uh oh…

  • What is a team?

    “The conduct of each depends the fate of all.”

    Why don’t people see that…
  • Weekend Recap

    I should be studying for my exam and big quiz tomorrow, but I feel like procrastinating a little heh. 

    This weekend was a pretty busy couple of days, with the homecoming
    events and tennis matches and all.  UMBC did a great job with Homecoming
    this year!  The bonfire was huge, the library looked like a
    mansion or something with all those lights flying around, and the
    fireworks were pretty to look at.  CommUniversity Fest went smoothly too.  For volunteering, not only do we get a free long sleeve t-shirt and free tickets to the Last Comic Standing show (which was hilarious!), but because our club was volunteering we made 125 bucks for ourselves!  Yay!

    Match wise…not great results this weekend against Navy and
    Maryland.  It seemed like we may had a chance against Navy early
    in the match, but then Navy dominated in singles (unfortuanately for
    us).  Maryland was super duper unorganized, but I couldn’t blame
    the guy that was running today’s match because it was really other
    people’s fault.  Plus, I was in his exact situation last year, so
    I know how it felt.  No matter how disorganized Maryland was they
    had pretty good people on their team and there was really nothing much
    we can do about it…but hey, at least I won my doubles match w/ my partner Jon Wu today 8-3 .  Winning feels good… heh.

    So yea, Chinese exam and big Deductive
    System quiz tomorrow, Personality Psych exam this Thursday, and
    Adolescent Psych exam the following Monday, not to mention 2 matches
    this weekend
    .  I’m actually kinda hoping for rain this weekend because we could use a break.  Shoot, I need a break…

  • What a great song… :-)

    Save Room by John Legend



    Say that you stay a little



    Don’t say bye bye tonight



    Say you’ll be mine



    just a little of bit of love is worth a moment of your time






    knocking on your door just a little



    so cold outside tonight



    let’s get the fire burning



    I know, I keep it burining right






    If you stay, won’t you stay – stay






    save room for my love



    save room for a moment to be with me



    save room for my love save a little



    save a little for me



    won’t you save a little



    save a little for me – ohh






    This just might hurt a little



    love hurts sometimes when you do it right



    Don’t be affraid of a little bit of pain



    pleasure is just on the other side






    Let down your guard just a little



    I keep you safe in these arms of mine



    Hold on to me – pretty baby



    You will see I can be all you need






    If you stay, won’t you stay – stay






    save room for my love



    save room for a moment to be with me



    save room for my love save a little



    save a little for me



    won’t you save a little



    save a little for me – ohh






    [pa-ya-pa-pa] – [pa-ya-pa-pa] – [pa-ya-pa-pa] – [da-da-da]






    Ohhh come on






    Make time to live a little



    don’t let this moment slip by tonight



    you never know what you are missing untill you try



    I keep you satisfied



    if you stay, won’t you stay – stay






    save room for my love



    save room for a moment to be with me



    save room for my love save a little



    save a little for me



    won’t you save a little



    save a little for me – ohh

    Secret Asian Man presents:


  • So we lost…again…

    …by the same score 3-6.  However this time it wasn’t really too
    much that we didn’t play well but more like  we were beaten by a
    more skilled team.  Still, I can’t help to think that if we had
    Jon and Caroline we could have maybe…nah w/e.  I just hope we
    break this losing streak soon because it doesnt feel good haha. 
    At least we got closer as a team yesterday!   Guess we need
    to work better during practices from now on…



    Jeff was breezing by his singles match, while Kevin…wasn’t unfortunately


    Me warming up w/ Tae for our exhibition match


    I still don’t know what I was doing in this one…do i really point to the ball when I volley?


    US guys chillin


    Checking out someone…j/k!  writing down our disappointing scores haha


    Like the back of our new shirts? 


    Um, yea..


    Everybody!

    Next weekend is the Navy match (only girls) and the Maryland
    match.  Hey, I can go visit some friends that day!  And go to
    Tenren!  And maybe get some DP Dough (gosh I missed that)!

    Man, my righ calf is still bothering me!  I did something to it
    during Friday’s practice and now it feels all stiff when I walk. 
    So annoying!

    So I guess I should study today.  Yea study…(urgh)…

  • The Departed

    A damn fine movie!  I haven’t seen the original movie that it was
    based on yet, but I think I will after seeing this tonight.! 
    Great great quotes:

    Ellerby: How ya feeling?

    Dignam: I’m tired from fuck ing your wife.

    Ellerby: How’s your mother?

    Dignam: She’s tired from fucking my father.


    Dignam: “I’m the guy who does his job! You must be the other guy!”

     Match this Saturday against GWU!  Wish us luck!!!!!


  • This is gonna be rather long entry

    Man of the Year

    I
    went to see a sneak preview of this movie last night at White
    Marsh.  Definitely worth the trip and not a half bad movie.  Robin Williams
    did a great job and it was funnier than I thought it would be.  He
    makes a lot of very valid points too (why aren’t more politician in on
    this?  heh).  However, the stuff involving Laura Linney‘s
    character really took a lot of out the movie.  She was so annoying
    throughout the movie, so much that I had no sympathy for her and was
    hoping that car woulda hit her!

    Besides that I more or less like it.  6.5/10 is my movie rating.

    Two nights ago a group of us gave Kevin a surprise b-day cake!  It was fun and I’m sure Kevin enjoyed it (the cake at the very least heh). 

    Some pics:



    B-day boy’s happy!


    All of us!


    The Asians haha.  (Can Tae be any more asian??)
    ————————————————————————————————————
    Alright, some personal feelings:

    School
    has been more or less alright.  I’m pretty sure I will get an A in
    Chinese and Personality Psych, but I’m unsure if I will in Deductive
    Systems and Adolescence Psych.  Keep making dumb mistakes in those
    classes urgh!   We shall see…

    My mood has been up
    and downs, not enough stability.  Heh, to think that I use to be
    content all the time…I know one thing that could change that would
    make me really really really happy, but I’m not sure if it will happen
    yet.  Life would be a lot easier if I can just read her
    mind.  There’s always time, so I’ll be patient

    hum hum….

    hum hum hum….

    Then the rainstorm came, over me
    And I felt my spirit break

    I had lost all of my, belief you see

    And realized my mistake
    But time through a prayer, to me
    And all around me became still

    I need love, love’s divine
    Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
    Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

    Through the rainstorm came sanctuary
    And I felt my spirit fly
    I had found all of my reality

    I realize what it takes

    ‘Cause I need love, love’s divine
    Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
    Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

    Oh I, don’t bet (don’t bend), don’t break (don’t break)
    Show me how to live and promise me you won’t forsake
    ‘Cause love can help me know my name


    Well I try to say there’s nothing wrong


    But inside I felt me lying all along

    But the message here was plain to see
    Believe me…


    Love can help me know my name


    Heh O no, I’m daydreaming again…but they’re good dreams

    —edit–
    there goes the anonymousity

  • We lost to Towson 3-6 yesterday
    .  It’s okay though; it was a close match and had our #1 guy
    singles and #1 girl doubles pull through in their really really close
    matches we woulda won.  Props to Towson Tennis Club; they were the
    better team yesterday.  Look like we got some things to work on

    Just got done my Chinese Exam, which I think I got an A on.  Got
    one more exam today in Adol. Psych.  Can’t wait to get that over
    with!

    weekend is gonna be a little distracting.  Eh I”ll pull it off in some way.

  • I think I’ll..go home and mull this over before I cram it down my throat.
    At long last it’s crashed, this colossal mass has broken up into bits in my moat…

    Heh, don’t even try to understand
