D31: full of anticipations

peaceful with vacations in order and fantasies adjusted with realities.
the last day of july was tainted with my weird act @ johnny rockets.
it turned out alright with paying my debt with embarrassments in front of the kids though.

i'll start the new month with new heart.
new resoltion, new honesty and new enthusiasm!!!
now i have 30 days to count down...
boys are all gone out of netrizon..

a very long day's trip to SD

now i have 5 X 7 days left. 34 days to be exact..

2 vacation plans are carved in

and the weekend getaway to l.a. was planted. :)

san diego trip was a long journey

to extract my desires and smash my hidden fantasies.

everything returned to its supposed pigeon hole.

and i made a move to retire from the okcupid.

anachopoet is probably not my bohemian intellectual.

i'm not going to count sex acts, nor long for flings.

catching up with the bukars was the healthy outcome.

john and behnaz was the weird coupling.

DA's kurt response was enough to make me cold feet.

the korean stalker from myspace was never expected..

bastille: D48

i called crystal today.

my online contacts are exponentially increasing!

85 fb friends and 83 linkedin contacts.

and mum is coming back tomorrow.

today is indeed the last of freedom day,

so to speak.

i'm looking forward to canada, la la land and probably mexico...

D50: 2046

vegas was a nice refresher.

ka, zumanity, beatles' love, and bellagio's o..

and i found the clues on ariA!

then came the seductive comment from him yesterday!!

anyway, vegas brought me back many lost memories.

bachelorette party, 33rd b-day, grand canyon tour, stevestrep, and eng 31 gang, berkeley graduation trip......

2046 was about recapturing the lost memories.

it was the summary of all wong kar wai's previous works.

in that sense, the old down town fremont street experience brought some nostalgia.

the mini summer appetizer vacance, that was.. looking forward to my real summer!

3 days in vegas

to the first vacation since napa? sd x 2??

those were mini-vacations...

well, this is a mini version as well,

but flamboyant one!

when was the last time i went there?

methinks, it might be the 03 sigfreud & roy with ar.

could that be that long ago? yeah, really..!!

maybe i've been there only 6 times?

7th time then. :)

D57: independent day

enjoyed the total freedom + solitude on independence day.

swimming in the gym + biking and thx1138 midway to in the mood for luv.

thx1138 was too depressing to watch on celebratory day.

in the mood for luv was superb style of wong kar wai..

talked to heji and mom. got the voice message from hyoung me.

heard the fireworks outside, but no sight of the sparks..

me likes blair, nick, warwick, humorsex, and emal. :)

i have to bury my sparky chemistry luvz here today..

1. russ, 2. cerf, 3. charlie; 4. wayne, 5. laurentG, 6. doug;

7. kessler, 8. zoval, 9.marr; 10. chris mills, 11. emory, 12. jong lee;

(could i squeeze sam here? or sam was the only romance that happened in reality, ironically..)

UP

my spirit soared up.

love, companionship, dream and animal-bonding...

ariA, hungry blair, nick and warwick stimulated my mind today.

oh, only 23 % match humorsex slacker was an interesting writer!

i was wondering what these virtual friends and interactions would do to my life.

would they enrich the quality of my life?

i think it is. it is the mental rxn that counts, after all.

online network

online chatting became some sort of social outlet: i'm experiencing web 2.0

have the professional web growing on linkedin with 78 contacts,

stored personal connection of 79 friends on facebook,

and a virtual friend network on myspace with my favorite music playlist,

then the dating chatwork on okcupid...

warwick came back, and i expressed my interest,

so i feel good about myself. chatting with him was definitely the best spark so far.

i liked nick from yesterday too.

guess i'm building memories and bondings. he

D60

went to the city of orange and got chocolate donuts for david @krispy kreme. stumbled into animal shelter and had to drop by. looking at hundreds of dogs with lonely eyes saddened my heart. they were hunger for people's touch and attention, waiting for anyone to adopt them.

it was a good experience for my nephews, i think.
