Whoa, It's been a while since I blogged.

Well, finals are over and there are a few interesting tales to tell. Actually, not all that interesting.

Last week I realized how "Asian" I was. I went to a friend's apartment and bluntly put, 2/3 of that household is NOT asian. By force of habit and culture (one would assume), I removed my shoes at the doorway and left them outside. "Um, what are you doing?" Melissa asked. "I'm Asian remember?" We both laughed. It's odd how people don't know that habits can come from our very own culture. It never occured to me that it would be odd for other people for me to leave my shoes outside as respect to their house. Don't get me wrong, there was no negativity in the air, but it certainly was a scene.

In other news, I've been full of it. It, being Christmas cheer. I've been done with Christmas shopping and I gave some of them out at the employee party last night. I forgot how good it felt to just be selfless. To know that maybe I made someone's day despite my feelings. I never expect anything in return, but I'm going to be a little more open-minded this year and graciously accept things if I so happen to receive something. My former youth minister once told me, "In order to be a good giver, you must learn to be a taker." In other words, be humble when good things are upon you and be be selfless when giving to others. Man....this gift giving stuff gets kind of addicting...haha =)

The new computer will be arriving on the 18th. I'll be updating very soon and I'll be able play online again. The update should be up by the first week of 2002. Until then, this might be the last blog until I get my new computer.

I'm going to head home as soon as I read the other blogs. After Thursday, I free to wallow in my own crapulence. =P Well, I'm working friday...hey Adolfo, do you and Julie want to hang out after work then? heh heh...
