San Francisco/Oakland/Alameda

Above is a picture of SF in Legoland, This is where I will be next week. (In SF, not legoland) On a business trip. I am kinda glad I am skippin town next week. I am also gonna be at Jonathan and amanda's wedding on Friday. I hope that SoCal won't miss me too much. I am sure it won't. The funny thing about being gone for a week is that I finnaly a have my freedom from my tryniacal pops yet I won't be here. I will he up north. One of the perks about being a travelling sales man is that I get to leave once in a while. Away from the daily grind and in a new environment.

Since I am gonna be in Berkeley, you can be sure that I will visit Top Dog. I have one of their T-shirts.(thanks to Andycalbear) I am sure you've seen me wearing it.

Does it make you wonder why someone would want to live in SF. I think that SF is pretty cool and all. But I think it is a bit over rated. I love many things about that city. Especially their China Town.

There is a restaurant called House of Nanking. I kid you not, their food is Da Bomb. They are a small hole in the wall chinese restaurant. They serve you on metal plates. But you certainly don't go there for the ambiance. I have never been to a Chinese restaurants where the service was great. They pretty much throw their food at you. But the owner of the place is pretty cool. If you've never been there, and you see the owner, ask him to recomend somethin' and it is a winner.

But outside "the city"(as the Norther Californians like to say it), there is nothing else..... So once you get sick of "the City" (as if it was the only city in the world) it's over. How about their dreaded sports teams. Giants and Niners. Not too far away they have the Sac Queens. I hate them all with a passion. I really do. Oakland is Ok. They have the Faiders and the A's. But it's ghetto. So there it is. Why anyone wants to live there is beyond me. No parking and expensive. Yuck. But they do have the BART(Bay Area Rail Transit).[update] It is Bay Area RAPID not rail Transit. Some real cool person told me so.

The only thing that I am really jealous of. But its cool.

Final Say
I LOVE LA/oc!

Today I am forgiven as I am everyday. I am refreshed. All the days of sadness and madness that consumes me have made me learn that I need Him more than ever. I am thirsty again for the Lord. I learned a tough lesson and I continue to make mistakes. But with da Lord I am invincible. I want the relationship to be better. I want the real fellowship with my Brothers and sisters again. I want my brothers and sisters to keep me accountable. I want to keep my brothers and sisters accountable. I need da Lord. I can't wait for what da Lord has in store for me.

Food Coma...

I found a new restaurant for sushi. I kid you not. It is da bomb. It is almost up there with Maeda. Another all you can eat sushi place called Joe's sushi. It was really good. Hoon and I went to eat there for lunch. It was all that and a bag of chips. I was not at work today. I went to Anaheim. My dad left. We resolved our differences. I gotta say that God is always good. I hope everything goes well in Korea. So I will be up north all week next week and I won't be able to blog. I gotta say, Joe's Sushi is da bomb. anyone intersted in going, let me know.

Home Alone

So my freedom will be hear at last. My pops is going to Korea. I will be home alone again...... But this time I will be different. This time I am gonna be clean and rsponsible. This time I am gonna do everything like a normal clean red blooded guy near 30 is gonna live. Gone are the days that beer bottles are all over my apartment.(I quit drinking beers) Gone are the day of clothes all over the apt. Gone are the days Cigarette ash is all over the house. I am gonna be mean, clean, healthy machine! But you are all welcome to come over. May be I'll start movie nights again!

The Old School Testament

The Old Testament is pretty awesome. This morning before work, Fou-Sen shared with me about the book of Genesis. I thought that it was pretty cool. He was saying that the 5 book of law is a mini bible. They all pretty much tell the whole story of the bible. Pretty cool.

Genesis - Plan from everlasting to everlasting.
Exodus - Plan of Salvation
Leviticus - Worship (proper guideline)
Numbers - Plans of daily living
Deuteronomy - Review of God's plans.

Pretty simple right?

Well here is something that is even more interesting. From the book of Genesis, there are 7 characters that represent the entire bible! Pretty rad! (feeling 80's again)

Here are names and what they represent
Adam - Sin against God
Caine - Sin against man
Noah - Deliverance (yet still sinful)
Abraham - Faith
Isaac - Promise
Jacob - Chosen by Grace
Joseph - example of Christ-like life

I just had to share all this with all of y'all.

Saving Jessica Lynch vs. Elizabeth Smart Story

Versus

So on Sunday I was flipping through the tube and on NBC was Saving Jessica Lynch. I thought to myself, "How aweful!" It was pretty lame. I watched it for about five minutes and flipped to CBS. To my surprise it was Elizabeth Smart Story. The networks were battling over who has the worse tv movie of the week. Obviously the Lynch story is a story from Iraq and the Smart story is about that mormon girl who was brain washed. It was just unbearable. I wonder how many people watched these shows. May be they were great shows. I don't know. But I highly doubt it. How wacked is that on a Sunday night. So continued watching that bizzare football game b/t Rams and Ravens.

So on Sunday it was
Lynch vs. Smart
NBC vs. CBS
Rams vs. Ravens


Acording to ancient asian philosophy, there are always 2 opposite force going against each other.
Like Good vs. Evil. So on what if it was evil vs. evil. Like those shows on Sunday... Than what?

Remember Spy vs. Spy?


So in your opinion which is worse. Saving Jessica Lynch or Elizabeth Smart Story?

I am always ignorant of how blessed I really am. When others go through hard times I always tell them that diversity builds character. That is what I should tell myself. Mr. Wolf from Pulp Fiction says "Just because you are a character doesn't mean you have character". This is true. I am so blessed. I prayed with my boss Fou-Sen today. He is am awesome boss. he is also my mentor. Fou-Sen rocks.

So I am back home. I am just filled with weird thoughts right now. I had a strange day today. But it was cool. I am fully confident that God is gonna make it all right. yes God is da bomb. I love God. God is gonna kick me back in gear. He will give me the strength with everything. God kicks butt. Now I am hungry. I think I am gonna eat something. My dad is sick. Hopefully God wil heal him and take him under his mighty wings. Please pray for my father. Please pray that God will make my father better. My father is not a Christian. He is very strong man. Strong in will and very set in his ways. Though he does have a softer side to him. He might be the last person to become a Christian. Nevertheless I pray for him. I know that God can change him. I know that God can make him a Christian. Though we fought last Saturday, I am gonna make it better with him. I love my father. I am so sad when I see him getting old. My dad was the strongest man that I knew. He is battling time. I can't believe he is 60 years old. I hope that God will work on him sooner than later. If you are a Christian, please pray for my pops. Because I love my father. I just pray for him and I am certain that God has a plan for him.

I am writing this so that I can be a better person. I am kinda tired of myself. The guy who can never be serious, a guy who has no real direction in life, an ass(as some one puts it), a lazy bastard, so and and so forth. I can tell you that I need a vacation or this that or the other. I am sick of all of it. I am not happy with myself lately. I can't be productive at work. I can't be happy about lots of things. I seek comfort in nothing these days. Normal things that make me happy are not making me happy. I had a huge confrontation with my pops on Saturday. I am just sick of it all. So I am gonna reaccess mylife and just be until I need to do something. I need God more than ever but I am tired of reaching out to Him also. I need something to change. Whatever I need to change, I need it soon. I am gonna burst if I don't.
[update]
Just kidding. I don't feel much better, but no need to get overboard like the whole bursting part. I ask you to pray for me.

I am sick of being lazy!
