| I’v been pretty peeved with this new place because there’s a crap load of little kids that play and scream right in front of our building. I’ve been trying to cope with it but here and there I would find myself marching to the balcony and barking for them to shut up. Today I did that, but nothing changed so I decided to leave. As I walked out I walked directly up to the crowd of people- mixed with parents, grandparents and kids- stopped about 6 feet away and stood there and glared at all of them. They all suddenly stopped moving and talking and a quiet hush swept over the entire area. I just glared and they all were just staring back. (For a mental image, imagine 15 Indians of various age and size giving a deer in headlight look to one very angry Indian) I made eye contact with a lot of them, sending hateful messages with the silent inward dent of my eyebrows. I didn’t say a word, and neither did they. After half a minute, I left and about 15 pairs of eyes followed me to my car.
I don't know what I was trying to accomplish by doing this. If I were using my brain I would go up to them and actually communicate. I was just too pissed off to talk to them, too angry to move. But my anger had to vent somehow: it found release like smog from a truck's exhaust through my fierce and silent eyes.

| sooooooo. . ..
wow. ..
this is the working life eh?
here's the break down of what i did today, and it was a very typical day.
7:30 am
drove to pleasonton for a district meeting, spent an hour in brainstorming then a couple hours in cold calling prospective companies that need staffing services. made 30 calls, set up 1 appointment.
Company took us to chilli's for lunch, went over the good and bad of the morning calls and how to improve next time.
Drove back to Newark office.
Picked up some brochures of the company and a coworker and went to a prospective client meeting at 2 at an engineering company, C.H.A and did a presentation for the HR manager on how our staffing services can benefit their company. Went pretty well.
Drove back to Newark office
Filled out some paperwork for a recruit and interviewed an applicant for a receptionist/data entry position. Briefed her on our company policies after hiring her.
Organized the days' events online and planned out the rest of the week while taking new orders from clients and calling talents (the workers we send to our clients) to line up for the job.
5:10 pm go home.
today was a pretty typical day.
here's some pics from a wedding i just went to w/babe's fam.

| This past week has been the most amazing 7 days of my life, i can't quite put it into words, but i'll try.
June 15, 9:00 pm: Big family
fight causes me to reach out to dad. We have the first father son heart
to heart talk in 22 years. Now he's no longer the stereotypical
unemotional gpa mongering asian dad, but my best friend. Never thought
this would be possible.
June 21, 8:30 am: I propose to
Jessica Chang. Set up a band in her driveway at 4 a.m. then when
the band got there at 8, sing "Dear Jessica" from the Mood Swings and
wake her up . . . and the entire community. (romeo
and juliet kindof thing but with rock music and a band). This is
exactly what she said:
me: "Baby, will you marry me?"
her: "noooo wayyyyyyy"
June 23, 9:30 am: I have had 7
interviews with Randstad (2 District Managers, 2 Branch Managers, the
HR Director, and 2 Senior Agents) In addition to that I also have
taken a peronality test, an IQ test and completed a 4 hour job shadow
with them. After 2 months of calling back and forth, being let
down over and over again . . . i got the offer. My title
will be Associate Agent and my job in a nutshell is to meet with
businesses, find out what workers they need and find those
people. presentations, meetings, conducting interviews, admin
work will be involved, I am stoked.
Whew. . . so as you can tell, this week has been insane. I
am officially a Randstad employee, engaged and a son of a dad.
before the proposal . . .
rock out baby, thank you jen chiu, donny hui and vic chiu
"is this worship practice or something?"
My dad took this picture, and her dad is on the other side.
I just think that's kinda funny.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LKAS;JFD;LASJKFD;LAKSJF;LAKJSFD;LKAJASLK;
it's a happy spectrum, the more right you go the more sad and dark colored you get.

| so i've pretty much decided i'm going to be a full time musician. therefore what will be paying my rent will be teaching, gigging and cd sales. it's a tuff choice to make considering the fluctuative nature of the job, but it's worth it. I just got back from the CSUH gig, i thought we didnt' do too good, but CD sales said otherwise. . . can you guys leave posts about the CD? comments, critiques, concerns. ..what you like about it, what you don't like, specific songs you dig or don't? I'd like to know. =)

| SO . . . i'v been swamped with editting and last minute touch ups with Passing Through . . .the next album i'm producing, it has been sucking the life out of me for the past 7 months but getting more and more intense each day as the deadline approaches (June 9th is the first gig to promote the cd at Cal State Hayward EOP Graduation so i need it by then). but today . . .
. . . my friends . . .
today is a special a day . . . a day of laughter and joy, of peace and rest, of celebration and jubilation . ..today my friends IS THE DAY I'M FA;LSKMF;AOIEN;A DAONE;AOIFNA;SILFN;WOIFEN;linF;OINF;lifjew;oifja;woifnem;LKSDA . ..achem. . today is the day i'm done. i just turned in the CD to Media Factory . ..conveniently located across the street from Good Shepherd Church Office . . (5 minutes from my house, thanks Danny Cho). so what dus this mean? i don't know . . .all i know is that this looming thing has been hanging over my head for the past 7 months ever since my computer crashed and i had to redo a bunch of songs that i already started for this album . . i sGONE ... no more listening to the same half second clip of nonsense over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. A;SKLFJ;ALKSJF i hate these songs now . . . i hate them with a passion . . .
too bad i have to gig now . . .and play them again and again and again . . .not to mention rehearsals a;slfdja;slkfj as;lfkja;sdlfja;sdlfj;al ok . . . . so anyway . . the official release date of Passing Through is . . June 9th. reserve your copy today! (or else . . .)
