My trip to Hawaii was pretty tight. My brother's team won the whole tournament. He shoulda got MVP but they gave it to the senior and my brother got all tourney team. They seriously blew out every team. Their average margin of victory was literally like 30 points. Even in the championship game it was basically a blowout.

Hawaii was fun but i dont feel like writing about it.

This is a picture slideshow of my trip to Hawaii:

Yes, I had nothing better to do with my time than to draw giant human sized letters in the sand. Sad.

Moonage:

The hotel I stayed at was pretty tight. There wasnt really a door or anything. Everything was just really open like this. It was really nice.

They also had waterfalls and such around the hotel

And I also had a pretty tight view from my room. It was so nice so I kept on taking pictures seriously every 10 minutes. So I'll just post like 40 different pictures of the same view at diff times of the day.

Morning:

Afternoon:

Early Evening:

And ... this was my backyard for a week:

This one looks really weird. I think it's kinda cool though.

This is such a tight picture:

Then the man with his shirt up got into my picture:

They have some pretty weird fruits in hawaii too:

Passionfruit:

And they had pineapples that were super sweet

Anyway, I don't really feel like writing anything or posting anymore pictures, so until next time.

And I also think I'm gonna stop doing xanga cuz its pretty dumb and eprops are pretty dumb too. I have no clue why I cared so much about them before. haha. what a loser. But yeah I might start posting if I get really really bored later on this quarter. But that prolly won't happen. Peace out

disclaimer: i dont actually think i'm a gangster

This week is finals week, probably the most stressful week in the entire college quarter and semester.

I hope you all study really really hard and do really really well because as of 8am on thursday morning, I am in Hawaii baby!!!

Hawaii has lots of really really haaawwwwwt (hot) girls.  spiritually speaking, of course. So I will take lots and lots of pictures of those girls to remind me all the Godly women in Hawaii so that I can strive to be more Godly myself whenever I see those pictures.

That was the gayest thing I've ever written, but I think it increases my eprops potential, so I will leave it in. jkjk, sorta. well, jk about taking pictures of Hawaii ppl.

It's gonna be tight cuz im living in this condo thats RIGHT ON THE BEACH, so basically, my back yard = the beach.

And

the beach = place where I can watch sunset and sunrise and get something that resembles a tan INSTEAD of using the very cool methods that I did over the summer with the help of michelle. =). However, I cannot write about that because it will take away from my gangster image. And anyone who knows about that can forget that it ever happened.

And just in case anyone leaves a gay comment stating what that was, let me just say right now that Daniel Su did it as well. hahaha.

So anyway, because equalities are commutative (sorry, finals are still in my head) that means that

my back yard = place where I can watch sunset and sunrise and get something that resembles a tan.

Speaking of gangster image, I thought that after I got my stitches on my chin a few weeks ago, I would be left with this big gangster looking scar on my chin. However, all I was left with was a pretty large pink thing that looks kind of like an oversized acne. Not so helpful for the gangster image. So I have compensated in several ways, of which I will post pictures of later.

And if you were wondering how I got my scars ... I was just debating whether or not to post this or not because the way I got them was so ridiculous and not so gangsterlike, but I will write about it anyways.

So this black dude tried to pull up and hit a 3 pointer in my face at Wooden, so I jumped up and said "no way" to the black guy (in my head, of course because if you trash talk to a black guy, he will kill you because black people are allowed to get away with that kinda stuff at Wooden) and jumped up and swatted his shot to half court. I then proceded to half court to pick up the ball and I was on a fast break. I took it down the middle of the key and when I was about half way down the lane, I jumped up and I was gonna dunk it really hard because my roommate was on my team and I wanted to look cool in front of him.

However, woe am I because I was punished for being so proud. Instead of throwing down a thunderous dunk, I ended up catching my chin on the rim because I miscalculated how tall the basket was and jumped too high. So I ended up getting this huge cut and had to get Kevin Choi to drive me to the hospital and sit there with me for 2.5 hours before they stitched up my cut.

Actually, that in itself is another story, but i dont wanna tell it because doctors and the medical system are very annoying. but know this. Kevin Choi is the man and Stella is a really lucky girl. haha.

Yes, right now I know you are thinking Josh = nub. And I guess I am. I mean, who cuts their chin when trying to impress their roommate? jeez.

When I originally started writing this entry, i was just gonna taunt everyone at UCLA by saying i would be in Hawaii when they are struggling to study for their finals and stressing out and having the hardest time in their lives. However, this has evolved into a whole xanga entry so I might as well finish it.

CCM GIRLS ARE SOOO WEIRD!!!

Throughout my 2 year stay at UCLA I have found out that Korean girls, specifically CCM girls are extremely strange. I will post some quotes below to illustrate my point. However, Im sure you are all dying to find out who these weird girls are. But due the privacy and reputation of my strange friends, I will choose to be sensitive and censor out their xanga/aim screen names. So sorry.

Case 1:

JoshLin33 (11:25:11 PM): hey, uh
JoshLin33 (11:25:14 PM): U SQUISHED A BABY CHICKEN?!?!?!
*** *** beckie** (11:25:27 PM): LOLLLLLLLL
*** *** beckie** (11:25:29 PM): a chick.
*** *** beckie** (11:25:31 PM):
*** *** beckie** (11:25:35 PM): i dont remember but my sister told me
*** *** beckie** (11:25:53 PM): she brought it home as a pet and it started chasing me so i got scared and i threw a dictionary on top of it
JoshLin33 (11:26:26 PM): hahahahaha
JoshLin33 (11:26:31 PM): why are you so awesome? haha
*** *** beckie** (11:26:40 PM): hahahhaha
*** *** beckie** (11:26:45 PM): i dont remember this at all though
JoshLin33 (11:27:31 PM): oh, so it died?

*** *** beckie** (11:27:42 PM): hahahaha
*** *** beckie** (11:27:50 PM): my sister said she was sad so im guessing it did
JoshLin33 (11:28:24 PM): wow, that just made my day

Case 2:

so as i look back at my childhood, i realize that i was a pretty jacked up little girl.  for those who don't know this, i've been to the emergency room SIX TIMES in my life. here they are: 1. landed on this (bottle of milk) - 4 stitches on chin 2. landed on this too (can of tomato sauce) - 4 stitches underneath the right eye 3. touched this (iron) - burned 4. thumb exploded from excessive sucking - yes EXPLODED....it was swollen w/liquid and they tried to squeeze out the excess with a needle but it just exploded. 5. broken right arm - i thought i was a gymnist 6. i stuck these (beads) up my nose too- enough said. also up until last year, i thought that were extinct...okay that didn't have to do anything but yea... so im wondering if any of this affected my brain development because according to an online test, i have ADHD.  that sucks. that SERIOUSLY sucks. i also don't have enough teeth in my mouth.  i end up chewing food with my gums.  does anyone else grapple w/these defects too? - *** Michelle *** Case 3: HAHAHAHA .. its ok meesh.... i didn't know if foxes really existed or not until recently... i think they told me that they DON'T exist...   Posted by ******angie**

So as you can tell, CCM girls are extremely weird, but they also are the funniest and the best. So yeah. But theyre weird.

roommate section

ppl always tell me all these stories about how weird their roommates are and stuff. And you know what, I can't tell you theyre wrong. I have so many pictures to put up but I will only post a few.

Throughout this year, I have found several things. My roommate is lazy and pees in water bottles because the bathroom is all the way down the hall. His method is very good I must say because we've almost gotten several ppl to drink the "apple juice."

Anyway, i was just joking about that. He doesnt do that kind of stuff. Thats just disgusting and dirty and foul. He would never do anything like that.

1. My roommate ENJOYS peeing on his pants

notice his chuckle after he peed on his pants. haha. disgusting

he also enjoys posing with urine on his shorts

2. my roommates likes to flex dance around like a troll. I wish I could post the video but I havent figured out how to do that for free yet.

he loves flaunting his muscles. His muscles are pretty big, as you can see. what a humble man. haha.

3. He likes to do strange things ...

dont ask me. I have no clue what he's doing in this picture

3. He sleeps with his tighty whities around his head. He thinks it gives him head protection when he sleeps. Much like wearing a helmet when you ride a bike.

4. He doesnt like it when you make fun of him and take pictures of his "helmet"

So for now, my post ends here. But later I will put up lots of pictures of my Hawaii trip.

I dont usually do a moral of my xanga entry, but since I admire Brian Joe and his xanga so much, I will do one

Moral of story:

Don't swat unsuspecting black men or try to look cool in front of ur roommate because you will end up getting stitches.

and choose your roommate wisely or you might get stuck with some weird creep like I did.

Just joking about the second part. I like my roommate a lot. haha. We are so cool we even hold concerts. More on that in another entry

Hi, so far this summer I have been taking summer school at UCLA. I finish August 20th and then I'll go home and sit around and do nothing until school starts again in very late September. Summer school has been super fun and there are several upsides but also several downsides. I think summer school has been more fun than my whole first year of college. I guess that's cuz I got to live in an apartment with a bunch of other cool freshmore guys and I got to room with one of the funniest people I know, Kevin Choi, whom you will see later.

This xanga entry is just gonna be a mass picture post, so have fun, i guess.

When we first moved in we had a PS2 and a Gamecube. We thought summer was soooo tight because everyday we would do this:

for LITERALLY 4-6 hours. You think I am exaggerating, but I tell you the truth, for the first few weeks, we men lived by video games alone. And of course the Bible. haha.

So anyway, here are my apartment-mates. The first one is named Heesoo. He is probably one of the largest human beings I know. I don't know anyone who comes closer to resembling a bear than he does:

Heesoo spent a lot of time playing guitar this summer. I had to endure countless hours of a mutilated version of tears in heaven and more than words. But I love this guy. So it's ok.

The next one is James. He shaved his head because that makes him a gangster:

Now everything I said about Heesoo playing guitar is also true about this fool.

Times ten.

The third one is my fellow chinese brother in the land of Koreans (my fellowship at UCLA). This guy is such a pimp. All he has to do is tell girls he is from New Zealand and they are automatically all over him. And then you add his good looks and gg, you have no more potential girlfriends. But he is also a gay, oversized fob who thinks wearing jerseys that are too small is cool. His name is Daniel Su.

We play basketball way too much.

And then there is my roommate, who falls asleep like this:

so he can hear his phone alarm when it goes off. It's weird though, ppl say that you pick up strange habits if you live with ppl for too long. And, I guess its true:

my nostrils arent usually that big, I think. So anyway, after two weeks our shady friends from downstairs took their gamecube back, thus depriving us of our biggest hobby. As a result, we had to take up a new hobby, which regressed to ... eating ... lots of food.

but even eating gets boring and stuff. So now all we do is this:

We sit on our couches and watch friends for several hours everyday. We've already finished four seasons in the past 3 weeks. I must say, friends is possibly the best tv show ever created. Way better than Alias. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard or as long in my life as I have when watching friends.

Oh yeah, and a couple weeks ago was my buddy Harold's bday, so we brought him over for dinner and stuff:

Also when you live in apartments you have to cook for yourself and stuff, so I've become seriously a master chef. Look at my food:

yummy huh? haha

Anyways, also in apartments, you find several ways to entertain yourselves, no matter how shameful or feminine they may be. I guess us china men like to take pictures of ourselves and pretend we are ballers:

And we also do weird things to our hair and take pictures of that too:

Also, I have learned that if you are a fob, then that means you like to dress up in funny looking jerseys that are too small and think you are cool. This jersey says CHS. I think that stands for China High School or something that sounds communistic like that:

And also fobs like to spell things wrong. It's supposed to say D. Su, which stands for Daniel Su.

Btw, lots of ppl call me girly and stuff just cuz my desk has candles and stuff. But I say they are wrong because I only bought candles to overpower the smell of man. Besides, it has been proven that manliness is directly proportional to the amount of facial hair you can grow. So obviously, I am the manliest asian man there ever was.

After I grew my facial hair out, my friends didnt even recognize me anymore. I would say hi to them and then they would run away cuz they thought i was a bum or something like that. freakin n00bs ...

Now this is for all those asian people like daniel su and roger chang who think theyre all manly cuz they can grow out some peach fuzz on their chins. This is how manly guys do it. Cast away style. But dang, I am so skinny. but don't worry, thats only because cameras subtract 10 pounds ... And I have about 10 cameras on me.

And then last night we had a bbq. The fire seriously looked like it came straight out of a video game:

And that about sums up my summer. I could write about stuff like seeing Shawn Marion and Baron Davis and getting their autographs, or about how we lift and do ab rollers all the time, or how we eat ridiculous amounts of food, or I could write about that one time I dunked on a black guy, but that would make this already too long xanga entry even longer. So until next time, just call me the manliest asian ever.

Hey, it is now summer school and my first year is over. Everyone usually does this reflections thing about what they learned in their last year and stuff, but ... that's kinda gay cuz it's already summer time.

So now I'm living at barrington with some cool peoples. we have wireless internet. that's hecka (yeah, hecka) tight. I'm just gonna write about the one week I got to go home. It was nice chillin with my two little brothers. They haven't changed much, both of em got a little bigger, but I can still body slam both of them at will. haha.

Anyway, when I was home, we bbqed seriously like everyday. Here are some pictures of what we did.

My slave cleaning up some of the spilled charcoal. just kidding. we both did the charcoal.

the grill. there were times where the fire was way way bigger, but this is the only one I got right now.

the marinated quail we prepared

some more quail

joseph ... playing ... with the quail. He's the cutest little boy. He doesn't even look very cute in this one. I'm not sure how he is smiling like that.

STEAK! enough said.

fruit salad. Joseph did it all by himself

some more fruit salad. created by joseph.

the after-party

my backyard. notice the weeds, that are as tall as the basketball hoop. its pretty crazy. the weeds are taller than people.

NOW FOR THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE ENTRY!!!!!!!!!

You may have noticed that there are no pictures of my other brother Jeremy, that's because everyday when we were preparing the food, he would just sit in his room and pretend that he knows how to play counterstrike. He keeps telling ppl how good he is, but when we went one on one, i whooped him like 10-0. And I've played counterstrike like 5 times in my career. And he plays everyday. But anyway, now for the highlight of this entry. the DUNK CONTEST. Jeremy is now 6 feet tall and he always tells me he can do crazy dunks. I will post pictures and u can be the judge. if you want to, u can even vote for who is a better dunker. I know Jeremy will get his gay friends to vote for him. But it doesn't matter.

We will start with Jeremy's dunks:

not bad. 2 handed dunk.

hes makin a weird face. style points.

who wears short shorts?

air jordan esque ... sorta ...

this one is nice.

this one is nice too

i dunno what the crap this one is. haha.

Ok. now for my dunks:

this one is ok. notice the rippling muscles. just kidding.

i believe this was a windmill. dont mind the short shorts :)

this is ugly. like sam cassel's face.

i think this was in the process of a windmill too

once again, notice the rippling muscles. k, sorry, ill stop.

360

So that is all for now. You can cast your votes if you want, and if you dont, you better leave me some freakin comments/eprops cuz i spent the longest time on this entry.

That is all. bye:

I'm also not sure how Joseph made this face either. He is a man of several strange and funny faces. But I promise you, he is the cutest kid in real life.

::::edit: part 3::::

dang ... today we went out to dinner as a small group and we treated osconian (oscar) to dinner cuz he's graduating and we will all miss him. And then we came back to "smallgroup" to "finish up Philippians." What it turned out to be was a par-tay put on by none other than my small group leader, pimpston. They pied me in the face sooo hard. freakin ... but its ok, cuz I got to cake albert, pie winston and danny =). There was lots of food and we watched old MJ games. It was tight. thanks SO MUCH smallgroup and the other ppl who were there.

Here's my small group. how is Gordon making that face?

So in case you wanted to know, here's how it happened. We were taking a "smallgroup picture" in the kitchen. And we were all posing for the cameras and being myself, I was thinking i was ALL cool making weird faces and jacking up all the pictures. So there I am, sitting there making dumb faces thinking im cool and danny comes from behind and smashes an entire apple pie right onto the middle of my face. He holds it there for like 5 seconds and smears it around for added effect. It was so gross. haha. And this is what it looked like after all the crust fell off my face:

::::end of edit::::

:::: edit: part 2 ::::

So today was my real birthday (june 8). not last night. and dang, my friends are the best. I got to go eat dinner with Harold (oh yeah, and janet. jk jk) at sushi mac. Thanks for dinner, man. Too bad the Pistons lost ... and then tonight, my friends gave me a surprise party. haha. They were hiding in my room and I didnt even see em. I dunno how that happened, but then they got me a cake, a yao ming jersey, and an upcoming haircut. awesome. But the best part was a program that those CS nerds programmed. It's like a birthday card with pictures and stuff and also with letters from various friends. I will not talk about the password part because that is not necessary. Thats hecka tight. No new pictures though. Special thanks to Albert Liu (Fob to the max) for thinking of it all up, David Woo (nub king) and Josh Yang (roommate!). You guys are the best. And thanks to u guys who chipped in and came and stuff. I know who all of you are cuz I have a list of you guys in the program. haha. Thanks, dudes.

With every new year also comes reflection on what God has taught me and how he has blessed me this past year. The list is too long, so I'll just say that I don't deserve any of the friends I have. You guys are freakin loving and cool and stuff, and I hardly, if ever, return the favor. I thank God for you guys when I pray (seriously) and thank you guys once again for making my birthday uber tight. I hope that I can return the same love to all y'all.

I just tried reading what I wrote, its very sappy sounding, gay sounding, and overly-happy sounding. haha. But ... yeah. im pretty happy right now. haha. so yeah. laters.

:::: end of edit ::::

Because my bro wanted me to, heres a link to his dedication xanga entry. What a sweet brother. www.xanga.com/chinkballa88. And what a sweet friend: www.xanga.com/xcaper

dont leave him comments. just give em to me =)

Mm, so today is/was my birthday. Last night (birthday's eve?), lotsa CCM freshmen + Mike Suh + Harold + JoshAlbertEric (who are the same person) + Will came over with a cake and stuff. They were all so lucky because I didn't konw they were coming, so I was in the bathroom and was about to walk into my room without a shirt on. But then I saw someone who looked like a 12 year old girl peaking around the corner, so I quickly put my shirt back on and in turn spared everyone of my skeleton-like body. But it was uber cool. Thanks to everyone who came. I appreciate each of you guys!

Then lots of people left and they didnt eat the cake cuz I had no knife to cut it. haha. So after, Pat cut the cake with my ruler that has my littlest brothers face on it. And then some foolio named Janet, who(m)? I own, caked me in the face while harold sam and patrick just sat there watching and didnt come to my aid ... what the ... some friends ...

Anyway, that foolio smothered the cake and held it in my face for a ridiculously extended period of time. To this day, I can still feel the cake oils in my pores and can smell the not so pleasant aroma of chocolate, cream, and strawberry stuff emanating from my face. When I wipe my hand on my face, my hand becomes all shiny all of the sudden now. I think its cuz of the left over cake oils that are still clogging my pores and that will eventually give me cancer some day. Then I caked that foolio back in the face and then I got caked again ... freakin ... haha

And after that, we all spent the longest time cleaning up the cake that was all over the ground. haha. Now my carpet has all these brown spots all over the place. it looks like poo. But it's all good cuz I only live here for one more week. But, sucks for whoever is living here next year.

And then after that we just went to puzzles and ate food. Mm, so yeah, my birthday's eve was hecka tight. THANKS EVERYONE WHO CAME.

oh yeah, by the way, for all those who read that last entry. It isn't true. I'll show you who owns who:

that is what you call pwnage (thats not a typo).

oh yeah, another thing. haha:

but i find it hard to believe that I look like Jimmy Neutron, despite other ppl saying its true. so ... I have provided below some comparisons.

yeah, you see those shiny spots on my face? thats not face oils, man. That is highly concentrated cake juice.

i think all those pimples or acne things are also from the clogging of my pores with chocolate cake juice. It'll probably give me cancer soon.

anyway, please be a kind soul and tell me I don't look like Jimmy Neutron because as you can see, there is no resemblance. The Bible says that the wounds of a friend are faithful, but I say you better not wound me in this way.

Once again, thanks guys for visiting me and giving me cake and chillin with me and being my friends. You guys are tight.
