2 years later... :'(

I'm surprised my account is still active, its almost been 2 years since my last post. Lots of things happened since. The economy went down the drain...I finally graduated about 8 months ago and still no REAL job. I guess I'll just make it easier on myself and list the things that I've done since the last post.

-My mutual fund is worth half of the original value. :'(

2007
-Went to places, BBQ at Maddie's place, went to a few car meets

-Went to Vegas again, Played more MJ, Life was good...
-Didn't feel happy with relationship status, had a big fight with Tina and after that I just didn't feel the same.
-Bought a 2002 Honda S2000 with AP2 conversion in October of 2007
-Broke up with Tina back in Late November of 2007, just grew apart and didn't see a future.
-Went to Vegas and stayed at the MGM Grand with Joyce in December 07, I needed a vacation. It was fun.
-Party hard new year eves at ClubV2O in long beach with Joyce. VIP tickets...damn expensive. like $280 total? I think
-Sold the 1998 Prelude back in August 2007, sad to see it go but great to have the money.
-The car hit a big pole by the 710 fwy. On Valley on the curve, close to the CSULA entrance. A Lexus with some stupid dumbass cut me off and I had to swirve to avoid hitting him but instead my wheels locked and spin out 360 and hit the pole. :'(
-Fixed the car for $1200... ='( and sold it for barely $6,000

Looking back now the end of 2007 had alot of ups and downs but it was a good time.

2008
-Ended 2007 with a bang but 2008 started off bad... ='(
-Well about this time people finally notice that the Economy went down hill.
-Took Japanese and the Capstone for my last quarter at CSULA
-Found out that a good friend, Jennifer Chau had past away. They said it was a blood cloth due to blood thinners from some medication that she was taking for her illness.
-I felt so bad that the last thing I said to her was that "I'm busy..." and at the time I believe I was intentionally avoiding her. I didn't realize that she had cancer until I talk to some of her other friends. She never told me and I don't know why but I never got a chance to say I'm sorry. I went to her funeral and I just didn't know what to do. It was held at the funeral home on Garfield and Alhambra rd. There were alot of prayers and relatives. Afterward, everyone went to pay their respects. I was afraid to go up until Terry wave me to go up. Sin was also there and she was all in black and crying. Sin was her best friend and I think some of her SLO friends was there too. Near the end, Terry and I carry out the flowers behind the gasket and walked it out to where they will burn it. I got into my car and we follow her to the Cemetary on Duarte. She was cremated. Only the close family members were allow inside and many of us were outside but we could hear the loud screams of the family members... Very sad day.
-During the month of February and March of 2008, Tina often email me with updates and her feelings about our broken relationship. She said she still miss me and how hard its for to forget me. I replied back and I tried to be as logical and sincere as I can. I just let her know that she deserve someone more compatible with her and if I would have stayed with her I would not be able to be happy. If we would have stayed together for another 20 years then I figure things out then it'll be too hearbreaking for us to handle.
-In June of 2008 we finally graduated and it was good time for a little while.
-Went to the Los Angeles Auto Show and Formula Drift Event.
-Left ASI and still looking for a job.
-The election was exciting and watched alot of SNL skets with Tina Fey.
-Obama won by a landslide over McCain, very historical moment of U.S.
-The summer Olympic in China was amazing with a great opening ceremony.
-Renewed Family plan, Both my sister and I got the AT&T Tilt / HTC 8925. Great phone. Sold the other two phones and made the money back from the 4 purchases.
-Hanged out with Joyce alot =) its feels like shes the only thing that can make me happy.
-Moved to my Sisters room because she moved to Cluver City due to her new job at Symantec. Grandma move to my old room.
-Bought a new Sanyo Mini-fridge and Honeywell Airpurifier for my room
-Cleaned up the garage.
-Down to $2500 in accounts by August of 2008
-In November 2008, started to work for United Commercial Bank as a HR Intern/Assistant with no pay.
-Worked a few temp jobs.
-In late December 2008, took a trip to San Francisco with Joyce and Annie. Had a great time, we stayed with Annie's friend Angels place. Her uncles were cool and we had dim sum and bowling. We went to different places and played Nintendo Wii.
-A few days after we got back from San Francisco we drove to Las Vegas with my friends. Joyce's parents came along, at first I didn't want them to come but didn't tell Joyce but I ended up glad that the came with us. It was fun and we stayed at different hotels. Me and Joyce stayed the Excalibur and the parents stayed at the Imperial. They have not been there since the 1980s? 90s?
-My old co-worker/friend Matt finally went to Vegas for the 1st time for New Years. He had a blast. He drove the Miata that I helped him find.
-Thats right I feel in love with Miata because of how fun they are to drive. My old view of it being small, low quality, slow and for the gay culture are gone. The car is awesome. I might get one if I sell the s2k :'(



Jan-Feb-March 2009
-January 2009, still working at UCB and actively looking for a new job. Did a few BBQ at Joyce and My house.
-Help sister pick out a new Sony Bravia 46XBR6 for the family. Great TV, too bad we don't have Blu-Ray or PS3 yet...
-Joyce works for Student Affairs. She hates the boss. February 09 was her last month.
-BBQ on V-Day at my house and then BBQ again at her house the next day.
-Been on the Prelude forums again.
-Being of March, and my Funds are down to about $1200...a little worried and UCB still not hiring.
-I think I'm going to quit UCB. Starting to be more active in looking for a job. No luck with Walt Disney Company after the interview but felt prepared during the interview.
-During these past few months at UCB I felt that there were no purpose for me and that my work was not important. Tracy is good and she trys to be helpful but I don't serve a purpose here. Plus not getting paid makes me feel very unmotivated.
-Anyways might sell the S2000 next month.... :'(
-The economy is still bad. 8-9% unemployment rate... gotta step up the job search.
-Selling my sisters AT&T Tilt this week.
-Gained 10lbs, need to work out more.

Overall 2009 is starting out better than 2008 and hopefully it'll get better. I don't know when I will update again.
