March 18, 2005Artsy Fartsy! =)I woke up a little late earlier today, figured that I need to get out of the house for a little while. Pete called me around noon and told me that he will be down in Irvine, at UCI to be exact, to check out his friend's art exhibit. Since dance rehearsal for the dance team was canceled...again, without notifying Son of course! Second time in a roll now! Unacceptable! j/k...I didn't care though because I was down there for other reasons too... Well I'm not the only one being left out of the loop as though it seems...so it's okay...Kate and Laura apparently showed up at the rehearsal room and had to call me to find out. Anyhow, since there wasn't a rehearsal, I met up with Pete at Lee's Sandwiches right across the campus for some quick dinner. From there, we stopped by the UCI's Art/Dance area to explore the Panopticon Art Gallery. It was pretty interesting in many ways! Art and dance majors have such good time! Beautiful people with plenty of time on their hands to do crazy and abnormal stuff! How great is that?! Makes me want to switch major if only I were an undergrad! After Pete left for his class, I phoned up Darren and forced him to get his lazy ass out of bed and head down to UCI because he really shouldn’t miss out on some really “interesting art pieces.” So there I was, attending the art gallery for the second time! Yes Pete, second time!!! This time I brought my little camera with me to take some pictures! Pete’s friends weren’t there anymore the second time around. Moreover, on any particular occasion or event, no matter what it is, if you put me and Darren together, you know it will be a madhouse after we are through. We are like the two biggest clowns when we are placed together in the same place. So as you can guess, we had a bit too much fun at the art gallery. I think…trying not to make a scene laughing so hard was quite an accomplishment! Here are some pictures at the art gallery: Pam's b/w photographs on the bottom. Let's not start hanging up VC's straw hats. Please, it reminds Son of the tunnel digging's days! Pete, here's your favorite art work. Oh this is the art piece that I accidently said out loud, "What the *** is this?!" right in front of a group of people! Oh yeah, while walking toward the parking complex where I’ve parked my car, I immediately noticed this distinct petite Korean girl trotting along in a rather face pace right by us. I quickly tapped Darren and whispered carefully, not make a scene if I were mistaken, “Hey dude, isn't that what's her name, dorm, freshmen year, with all the other Korean girls?” (hahaha, I forgot her name!) And Darren was like, “Yeah, that’s Diana!” Anyhow, we met up and chat a little bit. She gave us the biggest hug after realizing who we were! She was shocked and surprised to see both of us at UCI. Apparently her friend has an art gallery that was nearby and she was kinda late to the show. We spoke for brief few minutes trying to catch up on things. I asked her for the whereabouts of the other Korean girls (her roommates - Jean, Alice, and Lonnie). Found out that they are all doing pretty well and unbelievably Lonnie is getting married or something. That was interesting to say the least, because Lonnie was such a shy girl. Anyways, Diana got pretty mad at me again for keeping on referring them to "the Koreans" as I used to do it 5-6 years ago! Anyhow, talking to her made me feel incredibly nostalgic about the good old time when I was a freshman living in Middle Earth. (Yeah Pete, I do have good memories at UCI too! Not many but at least some!) I so wish I can do it over again! She was a good friend and so were the other Korean girls. They lived a couple of doors away from ours in the dorm, so we practically saw and hung out with each others almost everyday. The good old days! After the second round of dinner at the KFC nearby, Darren and I decided to hit up the ARC for some badminton action since we both agreed that bar hopping is so...ummm...not us. Darren almost dislocated his shoulder and I almost tore my right arm off swinging at the birdies as hard as we can. Actually, at one point, I was seriously aiming at the 50 feet ceiling as my target! The most hilarious part of all this was that after we were done, the badminton court looked like a battlefield with all these pieces of white feather scattered around that were torn from the birdies we were thrashing. Once we both realized that any more birdies smashing will result in one of us in the hospital nearby with a torn arm or dislocated shoulder, we proceeded to leave the ARC for Lee’s Sandwiches. It's actually my second time of the day at this place. Lychee smoothie! That was deliciously sweet and worth my 3 bucks!!! By the way, I think I've discovered a serious realization earlier tonight discussing a particular phone conversation I've had with this one girl to Darren. The realization is that I'm really such a jerk to girls even the nice ones, recently. Sometime I can say the meanest things! It's all fun and game to me though but I think I might need to calm down just a little bit! Hey, if I don’t like you, I wouldn’t be teasing you...right? Hahaha, who'd have thought that I can be so darn good at being a jerk to a point that girls might really think I am one! I need to revert back to being the nice Son that I am at least for the time being! What’cha think?

Damn those VC tunnelin days, we were moving twenty feet of dirt a day. Badmitton? Son your officially asian again, im sorry.
Son - March 20, 2005 07:02 PM
Pete, yeah, lately, I have been eating quite a bit more often than usual! It's kinda strange! Darren, aww man, my arms and shoulders are still hurting from that night! Yeah I shouldn't have lifted weights with my left arm after badminton either, now I can't use either arm for anything!!! Troll!! Maybe the fact that I would get chased and beat down by some beautiful girls is scaries enough! Wait...what am I talking about! I should've ripped one off and show them how how true VCs do it! Jeremy, you're experience in the subject, I see! OMG, please, Son's trying to be Asian for one night, no need to be labeling Son now...

sounds like u and Darren had fun at the art museum! haha. and dont worry Son, i'm sure you'll find that balance in between being a jerk and a nice guy. Some girls like the former, remember that haha. working out huh?

Hahaha I like the picture at the bottom. The guy dressed in black with a turtleneck and the girl dressed in black next to him - haha, they are being lead astray. Little did they know the artist was a procrastinator who waited until the last minute to make his piece of art, and only had some frame and wires, and tried to pass it off as postmodern. It worked, and 4 out of five turtlenecked men agree, this is great art!
Son - March 23, 2005 05:26 AM
Hey Derek, we had a pretty good time at the Art Gallery, more than one would expect to have such "fun" at the given venue! And yeah, one of these days, I will find that perfect medium that I want to be at! And when you said "some girls," that's more like maybe 2 that I've known in my entire life thus far!!! David, that's pretty funny!!!! That's the piece that I walked by and accidently said outloud, "WTF is this supposed to be?!!!"
Cedric - March 28, 2005 07:15 PM
