…was pretty good this year .  In fact, I kinda have to say it was one of the best ones I’ve attended.  I’m glad the performers actually got food this time!  haha… Denise did a really good job preparing this show.  There were a lot of good performances this year and it’s a shame if you missed it!  After party was fun as well .  First time I’ve been to the apartments actually.

Here are a few select shots from the night (click to enlarge).  The rest can be found here and here .

Before show:

  

Fashion show (video and pics!):

During the show:

Unfortunately, I sorta have to end this entry on a low note.  There has been a couple of things on my mind all yesterday and today that have really been messing me up lately.  Not gonna write about it all here of course because it’s just too much…all I’m gonna say for now is “disconnection” and “losing heart”.

ahem…

ASIA tomorrow at 7pm at the UC.  See you there!

*Note:  Just some feelings crap below haha…so feel free not read*

I’m in the shower just now, which also happens to be a place I apparently do a lot of thinking. 

Mondays always seem to put me in the worst feeling mindset, probably due to a lot of factors.  Guess part of it is that my Mondays are busy, where I spend most of my day out either at work or in class until 9.  Maybe because it’s the start of the week that leaves me feeling stressed.  I also feel a strong sense of loneliness, probably because I feel like all my other friends are doing stuff together while I can’t. 

Of course with the way my mind works, I go ahead and start thinking about other random things that are bothering me.  Things like how I miss having that someone to go to at the end of day, for days like these.  Or how there are people in my life that I would love to talk to or spend more time with, but can’t due to reason that I ultimately am responsible for.  Or how it seems like many people appear to know what their next steps are after graduation and I’m still figuring stuff out.  Or how crappy I feel about my tennis abilities lately and how I can’t devote enough time to play because of other things.  How the system within the club makes me unable to play in matches because it rewards those that can give a lot of time and punishes those who cant.  It’s all incredibly frustrating.

Finally, I just hate how I’m unable to tell you what are my priorities in life right now.  I so perplexed.  

Anyways, it’s about 30 minutes into my shower before I wake up from all these dumbs thoughts flying around my head.  I just needed to put some of these thoughts somewhere so I can reach some sort of…catharsis I guess. 

I know once Tuesday ends I’ll be feeling a lot better.  But until then…

Kaba Modern got sent home last night .  All three finalists are killer, but I definitely thought it shoulda been the JabbaWockeeZ and Kaba Modern in the final two.  Ah well, gotta root for the Jabbas now!

I’ll sure miss seeing Yuri though haha.  Here she is with the very hot Taeko from Fysh n Chicks and with Hayden (!!!):

So yea, still been pretty lazy over the past few days.  Just been playing brawl, eating at sushi buffets, watching tv shows (no more Lost episodes coming out til late April!  Boo!), and hanging out with old friends.   Here’s like the only picture of me over break, at Remomos w/ Grace and Lisa:

Ahh break is almost over…so I really need to start studying for my exam on Monday X_X.  I’ll do that…after I watch UMBC upset Georgetown first *cross fingers*
–edit–
Hmm…at least they were doing alright in the beginning *shrugs*.  Ah well.

Secret Asian Man

I just got back from watching my cousin at the tennis courts over at my old high school.  Oh man…they can really use some help.  Their coach isn’t terrible, but he’s definitely teaching them a lot of bad techniques.  May go back there to help out a few of the players on Wednesday.  I mean my god, don’t be teaching them the stop sign method when teaching volleys!

Today, I also went to a job interview for Mosaic Community Services, and I’m pretty sure I did really well at the interview.  Not sure if I will get the job (or if I want to) yet, but that’s definitely another option.  Idk, more and more I’m hoping I can get a chance to work for the USTA…

Besides that, just been hanging out w/ family and playing A LOT a lot of brawl w/ my bro haha.  Mr. Game and Watch FTW!

Anywho, if anybody wanna do something over break just give me a call.  Otherwise I’m just gonna chillax…

Back at home for spring break! ^_^

(told you it would be small)

Got Music exam (easy…) tomorrow and Advanced Child Psyc exam (eeek!) on Tuesday.  Been “studying” all weekend…but really been getting totally distracted by w/e movie is playing on tv and taking tests and answering questions on OkCupid.com haha.  It’s really addictive!  Can’t wait until Tuesday after 1pm….

So I was asked to submit a story about romances that have happen within
club to the USTA.  They told me that it may appear in a magazine in a
future time, but I totally forgot about it…until I picked up the most
recent issue of TennisLife and saw it!  The part I wrote was
specifically about two of my team members (Judy and Brian), but a relationship that I
had with a certain other club’s vice president was alluded to as well .

Here’s
a scan of the article where I blew up the part I submitted (please
don’t mind some bad grammar; I thought they would fix that up X_X):

In case you can’t read it, this is what it says:

“According to Alex, founder and current president of the UMBC Tennis
Club, Tom and Greta are a typical story of what he sees. “The club has
definitely had its share of romances over the year, whether within the
team or with other teams.” (Alex actually had a relationship with the
vice president of George Washington’s club team.) Another romance at
UMBC involved Judy and Brian.

“Judy” said Alex, “had come out
for tryouts and wanted to partner up with a friend of hers, but I had
decided to mix things up and assigned her to someone she didn’t know –
Brian. Almost instantly you could feel an attraction between the two,
and you could tell that Judy was a bit nervous hitting with Brian that
day. In fact, she tried to impress him during a point where she
accidentally flipped over (scraping her legs and bruising her hips in
the process) while chasing after one of Brian’s shots. You could say
that she ‘fell for him’.”

Pretty cool….

Interview with Bello Machre this Friday .  Hope it goes well.

Some select shots from last night at Red Maple:
