This picture is taken in front of the State building in San Franscisco...i was there the other day while touring around the city...the city is a beautiful place...u know those classic buses u see on cinemas going own the hill in the city?..its funny seeing those now in real life...same thing happened to me last year when i was in times square...i have seen times square a number of times on tv..and when i was there myself..the feeling is just kinda funny...

So anyway this is my first week in the state of California...its just such a beautiful place...and the school im studying in for the summer, Univesity of California, Berkeley, has a really gorgeous campus..its really beyond description...to me its just like a garden school...there are trees just everywhere..not to mention the large gardens and a couple of hills...that being said..its a huge campus compared to Marquette...so i have to walk quite a distance...but im not complaining...i get to enjoy the beauty of the campus almost every morning..i will definitely put up the pictures in the coming weeks...

heh a scare i have not have before in my life is my weight...my philosophy about eating till to date is...eat whatever you want eat and however often, just as long as you exercise...but now...i have a feeling that philosophy might not be working...when i arrived in the US about a year and half ago...i was about 142 pound...about 60 plus kg...now im 153 pounds...about 70kg...thats about 6 to 8 kg weight gain...heh i only realise this when i look a picture of me taken just 2 days ago...and im like..."Is it just me, or am i growing fat?"... heh since secondary school i have actually been doing my best to gain weight because almost all my relatives said im thin...so thats when my habit of eat-everything-i-want-anytime comes in...which i carried with me over to the US..hahaha...lets hope i wont gain more weight in the second half of the year....hahahaha...you know whats hilarious of me writing this?...as im writing this entry..im eating 3 different kinds of snacks...damn it..hahaha

Oh man...the time when i update my life in this blog has become more and more often dont you think...?...o well...basically i just finished my finals last week and got my grades...more or less what i expected...so neither disappointed nor happy...now im also in charge of the money for 3 organizations....2 for school clubs and one for a bigger organization...its a bit crazy when i think of it...but when i thought about it again...this is actually exactly what my dad is doing now...just that his is a much much much much bigger account.....anyway this picture is taken with my tkd club...it was a beautiful day when i had a barbeque outing with them...

I think this semester has started a whole new interest for me in the music genres...now for some reason im really into the pop opera..or 'popera'...the few artist that im really in are Il Divo...Josh Groban...and Katherine Jenkins...you can actually check out their vids on Youtube....you might have heard about the first 2...but mayb not Kath Jenkins...well she hails from Europe and she is about 26 yrs old...and a beautiful lady for one who sings this genre..because what's characteristical of the ladies who sing in this genre are basically 'bigger'...but Kath Jenkins is just different...go google her...=)

You know the saying, "Live in the moment."?....this past few weeks i have been kinda pondering on that...many times i thought to myself...this moment cannot be any more perfect than it is now...it actually really helps because...there are definitely times when you think about the past right, and how more perfect the past seem to the present?...but for some reason if i do this...the past seem less and less attractive to me then the present...because i know that i have lived the best i can in that past, and Im conscious in that past that i am not going to relive this moment ever again...This priciple of life is probably tied together with the "I have done the best I can and I have nothing to regret." concept....
