Date? Da Fevah?
So I am certain some of you are curious about my outing wih my "date" last night. I had a good time. I forgot how nice it was to talk with someone that you don't know. One thing funny I will tell you is this. I went to pick her up. Three girls came out with a pitbull.

Yikes. This magnificent looking pit bull with ripped up muscles.... I think that they were trying to intimidate me. hahaha. One of the girls turned out to be my "date". What a funny begining to the date. Bujt like I said, I had a good time. If you are curious, well.... ask me.

Motherland.... Here I come

It is almost confirmed that I will be going to my motherland. For week. Yup the land that produced Da Fevah. It'll probably be hella cold. I don't really want to go right now. But I have to. Han Gook~ Yup. I still miss Korea the way that it used to be. A nation that was so much more innocent than it is now. Yup. All the horrible places in the past was there when I was a kid too, but it was not so part of the main stream as it is now. I can't even really enjoy the food when I am in korea because I am on a diet. Sad~ But I plan to watch these movies when I am there.

Yup. I am looking forward to that! For sure!

It's Friday!

I am sittin at work just lookin forward to this day being over. Work day that is. It should be a breeze today.

Last night was yet another wonderful Small group. Esther Chang made David Lee's birthday cake and it had more rasberries than mine. Booooo~~~ Just kidding. (Esther Chang you are a wonderful person who does not forget to bake cakes for others. You rock!) Geeze how many birthday are in Feb? All these parents must have had some rockin times in June(nine months before Feb). Yuck what a thought.
So P. Jin's phone goes off and it is a little excert from Carmen. So the debate starts.

David Lee : hey that is Carmen.
Da Fevah : I Love Carmen.
David Lee : Bizet.
Da Fevah : He is one of those French that was a genious.
David Lee : I don't think he was a French.
Da Fevah : Sure he was. Carmen was in French.
David Lee : Isn't it Spanish.
Da Fevah : No. It's French. I am certain of that.
David Lee : It's Carmen. Wouldn't you think that it's naturally gonna be in spanish?
Da Fevah : But it's not.
David Lee : Wanna bet?
Da Fevah : Yeah. If I am right, I want you to write me an email apologzing for questioning my operatic knowledge.
David Lee : Ok. But I am gonna do some research.
Da Fevah : You do that.
David Lee : alright.

Here is the email that I got this morning.

Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2004 09:49:26 -0800
To: "jung lee"
From: "David Lee"

Mr. Jung, my sincere apologies for not having sent sooner, but it is my hope to acquire your forgivness for my ardent mistaken claim as to the nationality of this composer.(Bizet)

Why does it feel so good when I am right.... I am have such a long road of sanctification ahead of me.....

Another Bachelor for sale!


It has been a long time since I posted a bachelor for sale. Yes. David Lee the guy who defied me for the Bizet thing is a ready bachelor who is in my opinion one of the greates guys that are single. How is this guy a single? This I really don't understand. Not only is he dashingly handsome and athletic, but he is a man of culture. He plays the Violin like his favorite Joshua Bell (not my favotite but it's cool). He is faithful to God, and opened to listen to anyone who is hurting. He LOVES Jesus. he has the body of a Greek god, and the intellects of a Philosopher. What is he doing for Valentines this year? Going to some bible study..... Yes he attends 2 bible studies. What a man of God. ANd God truly blessed him with that all american charm too. he loves his sister Yongkko, and he can love you too! His sense if humor..... Well is a bit quirky but even that is his charm. I told him yesterday that I would give up my right arm to be him for a week, cause I would cause a terror to all the ladies who I know have been lusting after him. But unlike me, he is humble about himslef. he does not give into his temptation. So ladies, get in line and take a number. Or let his love agent(me) know. may be... Just may be you have a chance. He can be your ultimate Valentine!!!!!!!

Happy Valentine y'all!

Rewind to B-day partay~~
Since I did not have picts to show you, and Now that I do, thanks to Donoree, I shall rewind to last Friday.

Look it's the B-day boys. Celebrating the fact that we are all a year closer to meeting our maker. Dono turned 27, Da Fevah turned 19 give or take ten years, and Eric turned 24....

Like I said before the greatest surprise was the presence of Joseph Y. Lee.

Andy once said that Joseph Y. was like my mini me..... Thanks Andy. But here are the JYLs of CPC. Jung Y. Lee AKA Da Fevah and Joseph Y. Lee.

Like I said I had Mad fun. But Not everyone had a blast.

Yup these two were barely awake while Fluffy was trying to sell some one a car...
Good times for most.

[diet update]
So I am now here in Paradise (work) and thinking about last night's basketball experience. You see 40 lbs. ago, I never blocked anyshot in ball. But ever since the Rob Joo experience, I've been just better at blocking shots. Yup. Last night was no different. So there are three leapers that come out to play on Wednesdays. Joe "Da Show" Ha, Bon "Da Bomb from Guam" Koo, and Kay da Japanese guy. And first game I had a clean block on Joe. Joe is shorter but he is a strong finisher. And he has hops. But.... yup I blocked his jumper. Bon is like from another planet. I truly feel that Bon can tear up just about anybody in the court. He has it all. Speed, a shot from anywhere, and he too is a strong finisher. But I was really amazed that I blocked his shot! That never happened by me before. Kay has more of a illusive hops. You don't expect it, but he fades away everytime and I've seen him jump higher than Bon at times. As Kay was going for a lay up, I sent his ttong across the court. It was the trifecta of blocks! Now I know that 40 lbs. is a lot. But I did not realize that it would have this much impact on my defense. It felt good. I still could use a little help on offense. Actually alot of help. But I will work on it. So just thinking about 40 lbs..... I don't really know where it all went cause though I am thinner, I am not certain that I look 40 lbs. lighter. I thought about how much 40 pounds of beef would be....

It would be alot. I want to lose more. More, more, and more. But I also understand that God loves me whether I am 100 pounds fatter than now or 100 pounds lighter than now. But I have dedicated this weight loss to God. What does God have to do with my weight loss? Cause I want to be the best that I can be. I will tell ya, I feel much better than before. I will do this. I have iron will right now, and I feel that the Lord is helping me. What can I say other than thank you God!

Veggie Tales....


So I had a veggie meal yesterday. My co-worker and friend John Duke took me to Vegi-Wokery in Cerritos yesterday. I was very skeptical at first. I mean how good can a Chinese Veggie only place with soy substitue meat be?????

Well let me tell you. That place is delicious. I used to laugh at fools who told me they were vegetarians... You know how the vegans are with meat. They are Nazis. You know they are missing out on life. Missing out on a T-bone steak. But that is exactly how I felt about vegetable plates. I was a Nazi. Well I did not mind ordering a veggie plate as long as there was a meat plate in Chinese restaurants.

Like SSAM for instance.

The Korean way of eating lettuce wrapping it around beef. Al once told me he went for years without eating vegitables so when when he had ssam, he would make sure that he grabbed the big piece of lettuce. Hahahaha. Oh yes. My pals and I are carnivores. Many who know me can tell you that. There is nothing quite like tearing into the flesh of some unfortunate animal raised to be eaten by me! But I was really surprised with this Vegi Wokery. It was really good. The taste was not the same as meat per say. But it was unique and I really enjoyed it. I had sesame soy-chicken, with sweat(Spell Check=I meant sweet) and sour soy-pork and orange flavored soy meat. Yes I know how this sounds to the likes of Hoon, Al, and Dong. Unthinkable right? Da Fevah? At a vegetarian restaurant? But I am a new man. I am not saying that I am gonna become a vegetarian. No Way. But since my diet restricts me from Chicken and Pork... It was good to have substitutes yesterday. Cause though the texture and taste was a little different, I really liked veggie wokery. And very reasonably priced. It was da bomb. So I leave you all with this quote from one of the smartest men that ever lived. Thank God that I am not that smart. Cause I love meat.

-Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.-
-Albert Einstein
Sounds like a terrible world to me. But I highly recomend Vegi Wokery. If anyone is interested let me know!

Tragic Valentine's Day

Oh the tragedy of St. Valentines day. Last night one of my buddy who shall remain nameless, called and said "what are you doing this Sat?" I said "Nothing that I know of." He was silent. So I asked "What is this Sat?" He said "Valentine's Day fool!" I am so out of touch with these couple things that I completely forgot. Yup. It has been years since I actually cared about Valentine's Day. I remember light years ago, when me and my ex, went to La Cienega and celebrated the jovial day. I remember how we laughed and had a moment to tell each other sweet nothin's.... But last couple of years, I pretty much remember hangin' with fools and getting drunk..... Truly a pathetic day for singles. I don't even have that option anymore due to the fact I pretty much gave up alcohol.
So... going back to this friend, he and another friend of mine made a pact earlier this year that they were gonna have a date this Valentine no matter what... hahahaha. But they wanted to include me in their Valentine's day shinanagan. This means I have to get out of my comfort zone and ask some one on a date.... Normally I am all about going after what I want. But just axing some one to be my Valentine is something I do not want to do. Because there are consequences of that I might not want to deal with. You see I am not down with asking someone out that I have no desire for what so ever. Why? Why would I want to do that? To be a nice guy? Or just fufill my needs on the tragic day and say "At least I have a date on Valentine's day?" These friends already had someone in mind for me. CLOWNS! So I told him that I will not participate in this little event. I hate being a single on Valentine.

It starts with your friends who are either in a relationship or married. They throw in this "What do single people do on Valentine's Day?" As if they've never been single during Valentine's Day in their life. Then it's your family. They keep throwing in this "I am worried about you." Oh jeeze. Then there are these terrible single group events. Where all the friends that are single's get together and go out together and keep each other company. What a terrible day for singles. A day that corporate America has branded as this special day so they can make money from all the poor saps that get suckered. Well I am only saying this cause I am starting to feel insecure as I am writing this blog.... Pathetic.

I just got my freakin' ankle worked on at the acupuncture place. He drained some nasty stuff from my ankle. Yup. nasty. But when he said to take it easy on it for a week, I started to worry. This meant that I could not do any sports for a week! Ruining my ultimate weight loss program.... Damn! So I came home and I started to think about this freak accident that happened. Geez... Why now. I feel like I slowed down tremendously last couple of weeks. I want to lose more and I want to do it faster. I am learning to be patient by default. I guess this is good for me. So I just came home and started to read the WORD! My boss FouSe Deuce and I have been going over the kings of Isreal and This week I am reading "Song of Solomon!" Yikes. I have never, ever heard a message by a Pastor on this paticular book. I read it a while ago. So since I won't be exercising this week, I am gonna use my time to read the book of Song of Solomon.... Many interpreters, both Jewish and Christian, have regarded the Song as an allegory of God's love for Israel or the Church. But... Once again.... Yikes! I can't get some images out of my head when I read some of these verses.

Chapter 1 verse 12 through 13
"While the King is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance. (Oh me oh my) A bundle of myrrh is my beloved is my beloved, That lies all night between my breasts" ....

Oh boy... I know that King Solomon was a ladies man, but this staright up sounds like a woman lusting after the King. What the heck is a spikeard? So I wonder if future wife's Spikenards are gonna send forth it's fragrance.... What the heck am I thinking!

Well.... I know that God's love for the Church is so much more than these words. But such words.... No wonder I never heard this on a sermon... I (the imature fool that I am) am translating the Word in a very sinful manner.... Oh how my heart is full of sin.... I just can't help to imagine P.Jin giving a Sermon on these verses.... I just keep gigling thinking about it. hahahahahah! I am such a schmuck.

It was a mad birthday partay on Friday. Had me a good old time. It was held at Grand Star in China Town. Many good peeps came all the way out to Chinatown to celebrate with Donald, Eric and I. It was mad fun. So many of my friends came out. SO for the first time in a long long time, I drank.

I had some Martini. Well little bit more than some..... But I was not drunken idiot like I once would have been in the past. No I was not. I am not gonna have any drinks for a long time again.

One of the biggest surprise to me was when I saw Joseph Y. Lee at the party. Oh yes. Joseph Y. Lee. The one and only Joseph Y. Lee. There are thousands of Joseph Lee's in this world but only one Joseph Y. Lee.....

Anyways, I am sorta Busy today believe it or not. I know. It's hard to believe. But I am. I will post some picts from teh party tommorow. I have to go to the acupuncture guy to drain the fluids in my ankle..... I sprained my ankle yesterday playin' ball. My left ankle is fat like an apple. It sucks. But I will get better. I will be on the court again soon.

It is not how you start the race.... But how you finish. So all those who feel like failures in anything, don't give up cause you can always finish better than how you started.
