Look at what my sisters made! :D

( I'm proud of them )

So on Sunday when I was working, my manager walked up to me and told me that this man paid with a black American Express card. He told me that those were special because it means that that person is very wealthy... like you had to be a millionaire, a celebrity or something to carry one of those.

So I looked up on how to get one of those cards, and holy shit, applying for the card costs like half my year's salary, seriously. XD

It's called a Centurion card, and before when it was first made, you weren't able to apply for it, you have to be invited to apply for it. There's an annual fee of $2,500, and a fee of $5,000 for joining in the first place. o_o If that wasn't enough, the card requires you to spend a minimum of $250,000 annually. o_____o

Putting that together, you are spending at least $252,500 a year. Shit, I wish I made this kind of money. LOL

Sunday:
- Felt like the holidays what with so many returns and dealing with pissed off customers
- But still it was actually a fair day

Monday:
- Learned more Chinese
- Found out that I was 1 of the 6 out of 20 something people in my Chemistry class to get everything right on a simple limiting reagent quiz
- Became someone's tutor for Chemistry after helping her with some problems we had to do in lab

Tuesday:
- Me and another one of our classmates taught two of our Korean classmates how to use the word "fuck" as well as "screw," "hate," etc.
- Showed them my Korean writing skillz |D;;
- Talked about the recent happenings of kpop
- Also talked about drugs...

Things to do in the near future:

- Pick out my classes for next semester
- Figure out the responsibilities I'll be taking from my brother once he's gone off to the Air Force
- Not be too overwhelmed of things that aren't happening to me yet
- Get priorities straight and time management
- Don't get butthurt over something fictional
- Save my money to pay for the ever increasing credit unit price for classes
- Save my money so I can buy nice things to send to friends and to have for myself [especially since the holidays are very soon]
- Figure out exactly which university to transfer to

( quote under here )

That just reminded me that Banban created Phoenix Wright and is going to make Miles Edgeworth in the Soul Calibur Broken Destiny for the PSP. She has Phoenix using Kilik's weapon, and then she says she's going to have Edgeworth use a rapier. LOL

It's OOC, but so are a lot of things that people do when they're cosplaying.

I think I've had these thoughts before with Prince of Tennis. lol. Shounen Jump came out with a fighting game titled Jump Super Stars which had quite a few playable characters, but I think Ryoma was the only person who was either playable or just a weapon that someone else could deploy.

Either way, I think all the tennis players would all have the same moves pretty much, but then each tennis player has a signature move, like Fuji having tsubame gaeshi, higuma otoshi, and hakugei. ...That'd be some funny super moves if that ever happened. XD

What is up with these past few days?


On Thursday after classes when I was making my way back home, up the street from the college, there is an apartment complex. When I passed it though, I saw yellow police tape, ambulance, a few cop cars, and a guy with a news camera in the parking lot.

I didn't know what it was until about a day or two after, but apparently there was a major drug bust there. The police found about 22lbs (~10kg) of Meth. >>



And then today when I was working, we received a code red from mall security about a hostage situation. At one of the streets near the mall, there was a guy with a military-grade gun in one of the houses, and he was threatening to shoot. One of the entrances of the mall was closed off, and they told us to exit through the other way.

I wasn't able to hear anything, but people have said (and this entry too says) that they have heard gunshots, they also called in a SWAT team, and the guy was killed by a sniper.



Man, I hope nothing bad happens at school tomorrow. Otherwise, this will be the second time it will be on the news. XD My college has already been known for this grade-fixing scandal that happened a few years ago.

I feel like I've woken up in a number of ways. It was almost a slap in the face kind of thing because of a simple comment that someone gave to me. That comment was something that I say to myself all the time, or have been hearing my friends say it. But you know, hearing it from someone you don't know that might just be the thing you need.

WO SHI NI DE SUPER MAN.





*_____*

I was a bit iffy at first about it, but... THIS... THIS TEASER.

Yeah, it's only a teaser, but.

1) I didn't think Zhou Mi could look so hot. >>
2) Siwon looks... well he always looks nice
3) I'm glad Ryeowook is not wearing those goofy glasses. :D
4) MEN IN SUITS.
5) There's a lot more I would like to say, but... lol I'll keep my fangirling to a minimum. >>;;

I couldn't resist. 8D;;

After classes, I picked up Banban at the rapid transit station and I drove us to a city close by because I discovered that there was a gelato store nearby. I thought the closest one to us was in San Francisco, but I was wrong~.

But we both hadn't eaten in a while, and it was about 17:00, so we went to eat out at a restaurant.

And where did we go~?

( answer here )

I always had a feeling that Philosophy was an interesting subject. And now, here's something from the book that I realize that it's something that I've been doing recently. xD;


( the theory of self-examination )



And on an unrelated note: Red Bean Milk Tea is awesome.

Oh Minho. This is just one of the reasons that are making me like you even more.

( you hyung-whore, you )

Banban and I went to the Winchester Mystery House yesterday in San Jose. When looking at the mansion from a view, it never looks that big. But to sum it up, our tour guide said that during the tour around the house, we walked about 1.5 miles(2.4km) through 160 rooms.

"The grieving Sarah felt that her family was cursed, and sought out spiritualists to determine what she should do. A medium, believed to be a psychic, allegedly told her that the Winchester family was cursed by the spirits of all the people who had been killed by the Winchester rifle, and she should move west to build a house for herself and the spirits. The medium also is claimed to have told Sarah that should construction ever stop on the house, she would die.

[...]Immediately, she began spending her $20 million inheritance by renovating and adding more rooms to the house, with work continuing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for the next 38 years."

( and here are also pictures before the tour )

Some quotes that I thought were pretty funny or cool.

There are some references to Mass Effect species, so I've included links to pictures of them.



( 'If I die in here, I'll kill him' )





Hahaha. Mass Effect gets it's own tag now. |D

Maybe some of you will (if you aren't already) get sick of me talking about it all the time. |D

Anyway, I came across an article about it online from the official xbox magazine. This isn't all of the article, but I've quoted some passages from it since I've had some comments.

( onward! )

-Feels like I should make a Mass Effect userpic-

Mass Effect 2's release date is supposedly the first quarter of 2010.

akjhdflakjhgaf DO WANT

I bought Mass Effect for my brother for his birthday. He was the one who played it first, but I played it too because it was an RPG, and damn I love this game. D:

It's already been a year and a half since Mass Effect came out… now I want to play it again...

I heard that KOTOR is supposed to be a trilogy too, and KOTOR II was released about four and a half years ago. 8|

I've gotten myself on a Mass Effect hype. And now I will be posting my (veeery) overdue thoughts about the games, comparing and contrasting them. >__> Jade Empire was a Bioware game too, but that one is a little different from the other two RPGs. Just sayin’.

( Most of you might not understand about what I'll be rambling on about, so to save your souls, I've put this under a cut so you don't have much to scroll past. Otherwise, when skimming through this, most of it won't make sense to you if you haven't played Mass Effect or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. And if you have played the game, then this might contain spoilers too for those who haven’t finished yet. :D )

On an unrelated and somewhat related note: Oh how I fucking wish that writing essays for classes would be as easy as writing this. I did a word count on just my comparing and contrasting… 1800+ words. 8|
