Chronicles of a True Story: Chapter Two: Charge and Conviction

Log start: 2:29pm March 26th 2009

When normal people think of the words Charge or Conviction, we would think of it as something like "OMG YEAH! SEND THAT FUCKING MASS MURDERER TO JAIL! or "WHAT!? HE GOT CHARGED FOR RAPE???" or something on that level of seriousness. I never thought twice about that topic because it has never happened to me.
But after i received a letter from my RHD, Larry, i thought to myself. Wow, what should i think of myself? a murderer or a rapist? lol... but OF COURSE, i am NONE of these :x
So now what?

Well that means my definition of charge and conviction will have to change. I know it's a bit late but you really know the true meaning of words when you're apart of it.
Like how on the 19th of March, i received a letter from Larry stating that i've done so and so wrong like 1) underaged posession and 2) excessive amount. Ok, i know i'm responsible, i won't deny it since i knew it was bound to happen if i was caught. I keep the alcohol knowing that if i was found, i would be in biiiig trouble thanks to Stony Brook's aim to become ONE OF THE WORLD'S TOP RESEARCH FACILITIES. Funny story, keep reading, i'll come back to this point of Stony Brook wanting to become a top facility.
So when i receive the letter that Larry gave me, i was officially charged (according to many dictionaries) of a crime. Hey you there, i know that it sounds LOL HARDCORE because i was "charged" but that word can be used for anything... from big to small, and my offence, i would like to think... was on a smaller scale compared to what people can actually do.
Charged with a crime that i knew could happen at anytime, i just didn't predict that the A room, being the idiots that they are tampering with the fire alarm, were actually the ones to lead to me being charged of this riddiculous crime.

So the letter that charged me with breaking two of the universities policies told me that i have to meet with Larry on the 26th (today) to discuss this incident.
Predicting what would happen to me i calculated in my head all the possible scenarios that could happen to me, the speech that i was going to get, the punishment that i was going to receive and the final outcome of the talk that i was going to have with Larry.
And don't think of me weirdly, but i literally thought about this everywhere i went, being it was the first time that i was actually charged for something and it was indeed against the law.
I finally came to the conclusion in my head an hour before the meeting that i would be given a long and boring speech about alcohol awareness and i would have to explain my actions in an according manner and then topped off with a punishment of using 1 out of 2 "chances" that everyone gets before they get their housing revoked.
That was about the worst possible scenario that i didn't want to admit to myself but i remember the RAs saying something about a no-tolerance policy on alcohol.

So of course, i went to Larrys office a bit worried but keeping the worse possible scenario in my head, played around that. NO, i'm not going to say those words, you all know what those words are and i'm not going to say it, because when i say it, bad things happen....

Stage // Enter RHD Larry's Office
Stage // Sit in a chair and smile

Ok, first he had to go through all the procedures, explain my rights and what type of hearing this is, and then he explained to me what i was charged for. I thought to myself, i can either BS this really well or his BS meter will run off the charts and my punishment will be a lot worse... after thinking about it for a few second, i decided to SIT THERE AND TAKE LIKE LIKE A MAN! *cough* no homo, faggots.
In that situation i thought it was better to tell the truth than to lie and be an asshat about it LOL
so that's what i did, he asked me why, i told him that i had no reason to and i knew i was breaking university policies. i knew this from the beginning and i still know it now.

What really was out of my calculation was the weird pre-mature mohawk that Larry had on... he changed his hairstyle and it doesn't seem to suit him... but i didn't tell him that LOL never make fun of the judge in the hearing :x
after a long discussion we had which included why people under the age of 21 isn't allowed to have alcohol and we even went bio201 style and talked about the brain and it's development and how alcohol can slow down or even stop the development of the brain because females stop brain development at their low 20s but men stop at high 20s, don't ask me how this happened, he was talking and BAM, brain functions.

In the end, i came out with a few things learnt, but these minor details will be interesting news one minute and old news that i'm able to disregard the next.
One thing that i never got during the whole talk talk chat chat process was why he didn't actually give me an easier time off.
Oh wait, first let me explain my current "punishment."

So now, my punishment is that i receive some kind of mark on my Stony Brook record, lol? This is a given, i guess i can't hold any more parties at my place this term... *sigh* the sadness... have to relocate now. Other than the official business, which won't happen again, i guarantee it, there are two other things that i have to do.
One of those i kinda chose myself, it was between doing a bulletin board or writing a paper... and if you've seen the bulletin boards that are up in dorms, you'll know that 30 mins of work can finish a board while it takes a few hours to write a decent and presentable paper that will eventually be run through the plagiarism program... so why waste brain juice on something so insignificant? :P i'd rather do a bulletin board annnyyyday.
The next thing i thought was a bit too much but after i thought about what i said to him during the meeting, i guess it's suitable... x_x

during the course of the meeting i told him that i wasn't able to find a job as a bartender (which is true) after i finished the course last fall. so in the end i guess he wanted me to do a building-wide event (which thank God nobody comes to, lol) on mixing virgin drinks.
ugh... if only the A room didn't mess with the fire detector, those fucking bastards. if only they didn't do it, our fucking suite wouldn't have gotten raided and none of this would be happening -.-

This is so lame... i know that it was bound to happen BUT i would only be satisfied with my punishment if it was found out of my own stupidity, not someone else's stupidity.
i can understand my own stupidity but i can't forgive others. tampering with a fire alarm... those fucking hippie bastards.

So now i have marks on my record, have to do a bulletin board, and have to host an event on mixing drinks.
i will only use the next phrase once, it will not be something that i say a lot, or ever because i've never found the use of it. i never found the use of it because i won't say it if it's done out of my own stupidity.

FML.

That is all. If it's anything that i learnt this year, it'll be to never trust people who don't agree with you, all they'll do is get you in trouble. Charge and conviction... these two things shouldn't of happened but already did. *sigh*

HakoneDayDreamer, why don't some people have brains?

Water footprint and you

It's amazing that with the talk about global climate change and all, people are going "yeah yeah! lets change the world for the better! let's limit CO2 and water consumption so the world will be a better place!"
and then they turn around and yell at local office holders because they're raising the taxes for gasoline or eletricity prices.

Ok, so there are many of other ways to help the earth? I came across this website mentioned above and the picture tells us a thousand words. The amount of water that you can potentially save everyday, and if everyone in the world saved water like this, we would have... TONS of water, eh?

When i first saw this picture, it actually made me feel like a bad person, i mean. i like beef, but i don't have chicken, so having less beef and more chicken more often means that i'm saving 1213 gallons of water everytime. Which means i can possibly drink water for 1213 more days.

and then these asshats come and comment like

who the fuck cares how much water is used unless ur paying per the bottle for it to wash my face"

The nerve of these people, it's one thing to not care, but it's one thing to make it seem like the world revolves around yourself.

*sigh* but what can we do about the world's stupidity? they'll end up flipping my burgers or taking out my garbage one day >.>

Back on topic, the amount that one person can do is no longer a mysterious number in the air but facts on paper, you can read on this everywhere, people demand numbers, and the scientists have finally crunched them out. 2270.75 gallons of water saved everyday.

Ok, so you don't want to change a lot of your habits, just remember that by not eating beef for one day, you're saving more than half of the quota that you can possibly save xD

HakoneDayDreamer, useless post. i only wrote this because i saw that asshat's comment and thought, "wow, the nerve of some people"

Chronicles of a True Story: Chapter One: Drained

Log start: 12:18 am March 18th 2009

Chronicles of a True Story: Series of short stories written by myself that are too dramatic for regular blog entries. These stories are recorded using the best memory of the situation that i remember and contain little to no exaggeration and should actually be classified as non-fiction.

________________________________________

Drained. How am i drained? Lets start from the 12th of March, 2009. Where all of this just began....
On the night of March 12th, i was the only one up in the suite. As it was a thursday where i didn't actually pull out my alcohol, i took this quality time to watch dramas and play video games well into the AM hours.

5am: Fire alarms ring.

My first reaction is the reaction that i make everytime there is a fire alarm; "Fuck, i'm going to kill the fucking idiot that pulled the god damned fucking fire alarm."
And trust me, this would be much worse if i was sleeping.
My roomate Jose was first to awaken from his sleep, then came alex and joe in the C room.
We were all exchanging looks that were saying "fuck these night time fire alarms"

Wouldn't any college student be outraged? At 5am, you're either well into your sleep for friday classes or you're pissed out of your mind from the amount of alcohol that you've injested into your body.

Usual procedures, hoodie, flippyfloppies, cell phone, out the door for 10 mins while the RHD and RAs randomly check for an unsuspected idiot that decided to sleep through the alarm and refuses to go outside.

But as we head for the staircases, there was somthing unusual about the air, it smelt burnt but only mildly. someone already heading down the stairs blamed it on some niccotine addict smoking on the way out so i thought nothing more of it and went outside for the usual "let me back in to sleep now before i eat your babies" standing next to the pond procedure.

10 minutes passed, i'm cold in my shorts and i start complaining.
20 minutes passed, i'm still cold and others around me are starting to curse Larry out. (i know it's not always the RHDs fault but we need someone to blame, right?)
30 minutes passed, we are finally allowed to re-enter our nice and toasty rooms.

As everyone gets back into bed and i start my dramas after a 30 minute pause, the RAs started to knock on our doors.
"THIS IS YOUR RA!! COME DOWN TO THE LOUNGE FOR A MEETING!! NOW!!"

It's never happened to us before and i thought that some drunk idiot pulled the alarm and then larry is going to yell at us about it in the middle of the night. I woke my suitemates up and they grumply trolled down to the lounge where we met more friends with the hair messed up and people sleeping next to each other hoping that this meeting will end fast so we can go back to our miserable lives which have been interrupted twice this night.

The RAs and Larry(our RHD if you didn't catch on by now) rushed us all inside and i tried to rest my eyes under our ping pong table while larry rambles off on fire safety and how people could of gotten hurt or died.

But this wasn't the case either! as most of Mount College's 230 people came in, i had to relocate myself next to an open window that i didn't bother to close.
With cold wind blowing up my asian-hairless-legs, i wished for whatever announcement to commence and hoped that it finished before i lose all of my family jewels to global climate change.

The rush of people stopped and Larry enters.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? SOME IDIOT JUST ALMOST GOT US ALL KILLED! TELL ME! TELL ME WHICH FUCKING IDIOT BLEW UP THE OVEN. TELL ME NOW!"

At that point 200+ people stuffed into Mount's small lounge bolted up and exchanged looks of shock and confusion. Everyone was quiet and larry continued rambling about how he would have that person in jail for commiting a serious crime.

I'd actually have to agree with larry on this one. I already think that whichever smart ass pulls the fire alarm should get butt raped in jail a few times so he'll learn his lesson but blowing our ONLY kitchen up??? Larry was pissed.

The meeting lasted for about 15 minutes, mainly in silence so that Larry can use his super sekret skillzs to detect the loser.
Nothing came up and he wanted someone to send him information on who did it.

We we all allowed back into our rooms and the night resumed. People went back to sleep, people went back to party, and people (me included) went back to drama/games.

7am: I know my limits (err.. maybe not...) and i went to bed.
10am: Fire alarm rings.

At this point i should of been starting on my main REM cycle. my suitemates were still sleeping and this time i was the one that cursed the loudest.
We assumed positions outside and we were allowed to go back in after 10 minutes.

I assumed that it was a drill so everyone cursed larry and either went back to sleep or off to class.

Approx. 2pm: Fire alarm rings again.
Suitemates... still sleeping... lol....
Positions -> 10 mins -> re-enter -> back to sleep

In my mind right now, i'm saying to myself, i'll start caring as soon as i wake up, i promise. Then i'll go on an idiot hunt and keep an eye out for the fucking douchebag whos been waking us up.

5pm: I originally decided to go home this weekend to do some stuff but i haven't had a good nights sleep so i decided to sleep just to wake up now.

Friday night -> shabu shabu + pool w/ cancelled plans to kalivia (asian bar)
Saturday -> Pool -> buns from bakery -> attack james' house
Saturday night -> dinner with the family and then starting my journey back to Stony Brook at 1am.

Sunday was a pretty normal Mount A34 day, sleep til the sun sets and then wake up to do our usual video gaming ritual. Good thing there were no fire alarms today. But eventually i jinxed myself.

Monday Morning: ring ring ring.
Monday afternoon: ring ring ring.

I don't know why these alarms are ringing but i hope that someone will stop playing a joke on us, i think we've broken our semesters quota for standing outside due to a fire alarm.

By this time, the whole building consists of angry college students united towards one common goal which is to locate the jackass who's been pulling the fire alarm and kicking his ass before handing the person over to larry.

We're all used to the fire alarms by now. In my mind i just have to treat it like a drunk stupid freshman prank who'll be like "OMG OMG I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN IT PLEASE DON'T SEND ME TO JAIL, MY PARENTS WILL KILL ME" when he gets caught.
These people NEED to get caught so that they stop putting the residents of this building in danger and so we don't hate him to waking people up from their precious sleep.

Tuesday, March 17th 2008.
Today is the day where i have 5x80min classes. I went to all my classes today, yay! I almost didn't go to Poli Sci 103 but i'm glad i went today, we had a quiz, hahaha.

Well, on my way to POL103 from CAR110, i met Lucy who told me that we had a fire drill at 10am today. For no reason related to this story at all, i would like to provide the fact that Lucy is short. LOL, SORRY XD

Not surprised at the fact, i went to class predicting that we'd have at least 1 or 2 alarms later on tonight.
To my prediction, at 11pm tonight, a fire alarm went off. Usual procedure, and when we went outside, i encountered this guy who told me "uh oh, hide your beers yet?"
this is a drunk soph talking to me to hide my beer. i ignored him and went downstairs. outside i overheard people who live in the A wing (my wing) who said that they just had a meeting with larry and saw the idiot who ran out after pulling the fire alarm and said that they'd be outside for at least 30 mins.

So 2 of my suitemates and i went to Roth Food Court to see what was good. Okay, so we went back after Joe got a cup of ORGANIC watery strawberry bubble tea. (By the way, don't trust white people to make your bubble tea, you'll do well remembering my words)

So we went back up and to our surprise, it was Larry accompanied by an RA, 2 fire marshals and a police officer.
Remembering that the A room was tampering with their fire alarm so that it wouldn't ring so that they could sleep through the alarm, i thought that it was them that set the alarm off. I went back into my room.

Larry then approaches me (in normal larry form, not being mean) and asks me if this is my room. Thinking that it was some standard procedure, i said yes, this is my room. Then he asked me which side of the room i lived on, i pointed to my side and he asked me if this is my closet.

As soon as he asked me this i knew what was going to happen, but i was a little bit prepared for it so i put on a normal face and said, yes, this is my closet. and then he answered "Do you know about the building alcohol policy? you have more than a 6 pack of beer"

I looked at him sort of amazing (while wearing my FRANCIS LEWIS '09 SWIMMING hoodie (thank you James, almost got my ass handed to me)

I answered, yes, i know about the policies. and he took down my name and ID and told me to pour all the alcohol out.

My liver was yelling at me and crying at the same time, but there is a LITTLE happy news, almost all of my alcohol was done besides the Gin, which i only slightly enjoy.
While i was being DRAINED of my alcohol, i thought back at the words the drunk people gave me, "Did you hide your beer?"
I thought to myself, but my alcohol was in my closet... hmmmm...
but there was one major event that led to detection... the A room tampering with their fire alarm signaling that the fire was coming from their room.
I know that they weren't smoking or doing stupid shit with fire in their room, they wanted a quiet fire alarm.

And i blame them 100%. If you A room guys are somehow reading this, you guys are far beyond redemption, sorry. I hate you guys now. I'll say "Hi" when i see you guys, but i won't mean it.
For your stupidity, we got written up for things like alcohol(i got drained of it...) and Alex got written up for the microwave and a rice cooker. I know you guys use the microwave, so don't even play this shit.

I'm not going to curse you guys out, because that'll mean i forgive you. So i'll just keep on a straight face and hate your guts forever. Simple.

One stupid mistake led to the whole suite to get in trouble.

I never thought i'd see that day that i wished i took a drunk guys advice... never thought i'd see the day...

HakoneDayDreamer, you guys will get it one day.

A collector and hobbyist of...

Log start: 2:23am March 16th 2009

Lately i've thought about what i should do with my life... since i'm still indecisive about what i want to do as a job in the future, i tried to think on a smaller level like what my hobbies should be...

when people ask me what i do for fun, i honestly can't tell them because i don't even know what i do for fun... i know i watch dramas and play video games periodically but that sounds so unproductive.... so i had a week-long debate with myself to come up with what i should do in my spare time outside of education and my summer lifeguarding.

After a long (and maybe a little obvious) debate, i came up with the conclusion that i should start with collecting and knowing about my two favorite things in the world!

if you haven't seen my facebook status, these two things are
1) Tea
2) Alcohol

i notice that they seem kind of weird... but i guess these would be the obvious answers according to what i already do >.>

i enjoy relaxing to a nice cuppa tea while watch dramas and i enjoy mixing up new drinks on the weekends, i should be doing all i can to learn about it and to collect the rares that exist in these two worlds :D
time to come up with a plan now

i can now confidently rank myself HIGHER than those hobbyist called stamp collectors! bwuahaha

HakoneDayDreamer, don't forget in the future that i'll be an expert in these two things!

2x Fire Alarms + Stove explosion = one giant idiot

Log start: 10:40am March 23th 2009

I don't know if the same person who tried to fucking blow the building up yesterday was the same fucking tard face who pulled the alarm at 10:12am today but if it's the same person, you should go into hiding. This whole building, the police, the firemarshal, campus residence, AND LARRY COONFARE (our RHD) (i don't know which is scarier, the whole building (~240 heads) or larry coonfare) is looking for you.

This guy's just an idiot raised to the infinite power... i don't know if his ass was drunk when he tried to blow the building up using the stove and now another prank at 10'oclock in the morning... he's getting his ass beat if he's found by all the residents in this building.

No cooking for the building for more than a month
losing sleep
waking everyone up
being a total complete jackass

ughhhh
i'm so sleepy right now i can't even think right...

MUST....GO....IDIOT HUNTING!!! (instead of witch hunting ~_~)

HAKONEDAYDREAMER, if another alarm rings, LARRY WILL EAT YOUR BABIES FOR BREAKFEST.

Caipiroska

Log start: 7:36pm Wednesday March 11th 2008

Actually, this entry is about one of Grey Goose's recipies that i found out after i mixed one of my new original drinks.
The drink on the Grey Goose website is called the Caipiroska, and here is a picture!

And i kid you not when i say that this drink is the exact vision that i had in my head when i made mine.
This was intended to yet be another fruity drink made for females :p
I like to name my drinks after the first person that's tried it so this will be named the YaQing! (she doesn't know that it's named after her.. yet.. LOL)
this differs from the Jiayun (they both sound so asian!) in the sense that this is just made with Vodka.

1 and 1/2 shot vodka
1/4 lime and 1/4 lemon cut up
A sprinkle of sugar
put into shaker and SHAKE!
empty into rocks glass + top off with club soda

This differs from the Caipiroska because instead of lime, it has lemon too :P
when i made it the other day i didn't have fresh lime or lemon so i substituted that with half a packet of lemon Crystal Light and a 1/4 shot of lime juice

Result: A refreshing lemony-lime drink that won't taste too strong! (Hence the fruity part)

if my drink were to be place next to the grey goose one, it would look similar other than half of the lime slices will be replaced with lemon so it's half green and half yellow :O


In other news: It seems my interest with alcohol (mixing it and collecting it) has increased :p
it could be a developing hobby ^^v

List of original drinks to-date:
1. Jiayun
2. YaQing

Review: Slumdog Millionaire

Log start: 3:42pm March 9th 2009

Since i have nothing interesting to talk about today, i'm going to talk about the most recent movie that i watched... Slumdog Millionaire.

JUST TO BE A LITTLE HONEST, i'd expect just a little more from this Academy Award BEST PICTURE award winner. This movie is great, the style is amazing and the story falls into place a bit at a time. You cannot predict what will happen next, and this is an important characterisic of ANY movie; to leave your audience on the edge of your seats waiting for what's comming next.

The only movie that i watched in 2008 that even matches this style is Ironman, but let's talk about that movie later.

A good movie doesn't have to have million dollar pyrotechnics or high-tech gadgets to make the movie awesome, and this movie is an awesome example... *cough* even if the previous winners of best pictures weren't that great *extra cough* CRASH *extracough* *cough*

The style of the movie has been attempted and failed by many, but where others failed, Slumdog has hit the targets with little to no mistake. Everytime you want more of the movie, they stop it a bit and then let you digest what you just saw, giving time for the audience to absorb the essense of the story line. and then bringing back the story at just the right time.

It's just pure amazing. but keep in mind that i still don't think it was the best movie of 2008...
and for those of you who think The Dark Knight deserved that title. Go suck on a lemon and throw yourself into the ocean, that movie wasn't that great.

GO WATCH THE MOVIE, (most of) you won't regret it :D

Note to self: Keeping my own personal movie ranking starting now.

1. Slumdog Millionaire

"Trust me"

Log start: 9:o4 pm March 7th 2009

I don't know how many times the words "Trust me" has either gotten me in so much trouble or back-track my plans so many steps. These words still have meaning if given by the right people, but after today, i'll definately not trust strangers with these words, except for distinguished professionals...

Today i went to auto zone to buy some paint to go over the scratches those little punks did on my car. I was staring at the paint pens for awhile, looking for what i needed.
In the end i couldn't find it, so i went to the front desk and asked for help.

One so called "professional" had some awards pinned onto his jacket so i was like "yeah! gonna get my car fixed today!"

He quickly looked through the paint and then picked one up for me.
I looked at it and replied.

"This doesn't match my paint color... the Honda website told me to use the same paint color or it'll come out discolored."
The guy replied, "Trust me, i've been doing this for awhile, i go through the rows and then stop at Imports and go to Honda, Red. this is definately the product that you want."

So i trusted the man, he sounded very confident that this product will be good for me.

I got to the gas station and filled up my tank, BTW, i'm stuck on this 24 miles per gallon limit which i can't seem to break...

Then i stopped off to the side and i painted over the scratches... i noticed that it was a brighter red than my car so i read the instructions and it said to wait for it to dry out to see results...

It is now dry, and my paint is in two different colors. It's not even a shading problem... it's the difference between BRIGHT RED (product baught) and Dark red, which is the color of my car.

So this is how professionals do it. I paid 7.99 USD for a nice lesson in trust. but using my asian math skills, i'll go return the product tommorow, get my 7.99 back, and then still end up having a lesson learnt!


HakoneDayDreamer, professionals don't work in your local chain stores, remember these words wisely.

TVB: The Gem of Life

Log start: 2:09am March 6th 2009

2008 TVB 82 episode mega-series.
Synopsis: It does deserve some praise, it is very well written and very well filmed. The overall story does deserve the mega-series title, it's very complicated but inside the complicatedness, there is drama, inside this drama there are feelings that we can understand, it's the core of every drama and also the string that each one hangs on.
if your average drama doesn't have it's own original core values, why film it in the first place? that's why i don't watch american dramas, they're just bad at it.

This 82 episode series provided the future mega productions with what you need to incorporate into a drama and also what you need to leave out.
In this series, around the mid 60s episodes, things started getting too complicated, up to the point that i didn't feel like watching it, but i knew as a drama-ist (new word? xD) i needed to finish a series, especially a mega-series. so i kept on watching, in the span of about 15 episodes, there are so many twists and turns that made the series un-enjoyable. Thankfully it did get better towards the end of the series.

I don't want to post any spoilers so i'm just explaining the blueprints of this series :p

In the end, the last episode is what i expected from TVB, gay and useless. don't get me wrong, i love TVB dramas and i watch them daily, but their series endings aren't the best ever. there are probably only abouy 3 or 4 endings that i truly enjoyed and that i thought went well with the story. but these endings have failed me so many times that i know that it will be crappy. and alas, it was pretty darn crappy -_-

I'll leave the rest for you to decide...

HakoneDayDreamer, i don't know if this type of reviewing works, i just wanted to try something that wouldn't give the story away but still try to criticize the drama in a "constructive" manner... for those of you who will eventually watch this, have fun. it's definately a good series.

Overall shitty week

bad luck left and right this week... good thing it's the end of the academic week for me. (no friday classes, yay!)
but to end off the week i spilled iced tea all over my desk (none on my laptop, thank God), and then having my hand burned by hot water thanks to my suitemate Alex. Alex, if you're reading this somewhere in the near future, you suck.

at least my iced tea wasn't sweet -___-
or else the ants will come into my room and will be licking my desk for ages to come

ugh... bad luck this week... bad bad week... my hand hurts -_-" *cries*


Update 12:37am 3/6/09 - Mount college (my residential hall) unofficially has no hot water. this is so gay. i burn my hand just 2 hours ago, and now there's no hot water at all.... i'm being played >.>

Snow is actually bad!

Log start: 1:53pm March 3rd 2009

How many people will actually believe me when i say that snow is actually very hazardous to your health!?
Well, start believing! lol...

I was walking back to my room from class today and since the residential halls are mainly natural, a lot of the snow wasn't shoveled. And then... today's sunlight + white snow = glare of death.
The whole time i was walking around campus today i wanted a pair of sunglasses, SOMETHING to protect my small asian eyes from the massive sun rays...

When i finally got back to my building, i beeped in with my tech savvy ID card and then when i walked inside, I COULDN'T SEE A DAMNED THING! aiya...

The massive amount of sunlight reflected by the snow actually made my pupils so small that it took about 2 minutes for them to adjust indoors. Just a word of caution to my fellow snow people in the tri-states, WEAR SUN GLASSES. my eyes still hurt

SUN + WHITE SNOW = PAIN and possibly BLINDNESS!

Hello Kitty!

Log start: 10:30pm March 2nd 2009

People ask my why i'm mildly obsessed with Hello Kitty and why i own certain products such as Hello Kitty bandaids.
To tell you the truth, i don't even know why. I can only assume why hello kitty strikes me as a "WOW! かわいい!!!!!!!!" thing.

Remember back in the middle/high school days when shows like 7th Heaven was on WB11? I consider myself similar to matt camden in this sense. he grows up to sleep in his younger sisters room that's filled with Hello Kitty things :P

The story behind it is kinda odd, so if you've never watched 7th Heaven, you probably wouldn't understand it.

But here's a small synopsis from me: Guys in this world are all too set on standards portrayed by other people. ie: WOW YOU LIKE SOMETHING UN-MANLY, YOU'RE GAY! or YOU'RE A GIRL!
Let's face it, i've heard this all the time in grade and middle school. and "enjoying" something that's just a little on the feminine side does not exactly make you homosexual. take me for example! :D i'm straight but i still enjoy hello kitty. sometimes you just need to like something feminine to show that you're not a total homophobe or for that matter, a homosexual.

This post does sound like i'm very defensive about these kind of things, but i'm really not. I actually don't care. i look at my kids when i teach swimming and when they get a cut i put a hello kitty bandaid on them and they (girls especially) smile right away and want to get back into the pool. i know that us, as grown people, yearn to re-live the childhood days were all carefree. so next time you get a cut, why not treat yourself to a hello kitty bandaid! when you look at your bandaid, you'll think of happy things and won't remember that you idiotically hurt yourself! xD

HakoneDayDreamer, this post is for you Hello Kitty! LOL

Merry Christmas from Stony Brook!

Best quote about this storm:
lisa (6:17:30 PM):maddd snow outside i wish i didnt go out at all :(up to my kneessss argg
brian(me) (6:31:57 PM): snow up to your knees means you're short

spring is about to hit and this is the biggest snow storm that's hit the tri states since like forever so it's only right to celebrate it with a SNOW DAY! woot! first snow day i've had since like middle school probably. high school was like "lols, snow. GET TO FUCKING CLASS YOU DELINQUENTS!" and then freshman year in college was like "we don't see snow on the ground, so it's okay!"(about half a foot of snow)

Finally we get a break! Even if i only had 1 class today....
but none the less, IT'S A SNOW DAY!
wooooooooooot

Sad thing about it is... i have about four exams and a presentation tommorow... *sigh*

HakoneDayDreamer, SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOOOOOOOWWWW hotness.
