Week One of LA

UCLA is a very pretty campus. Although it is known through different pictures and people's recollections of staying in this prestigious campus, it is an entirely different experience being here in person. The campus is huge. It takes atleast 15 minutes for me to walk down to my class by 9. I get up around 7 and take a shower. After, I make my way down to the first floor and walk to the buffett. The buffet is filled with several different kinds of foods ranging from Italian delights of pizza and pasta to American delicacies of hamburgers and fries. There is also a salad section with different types of veggies. Most of the time however, when I do not wake up, I miss breakfast. :/ I have class from 9 to 11 and then a break in between for an hour and thirty minutes. Then I go to a "discussion session" for an hour and twenty. Keep in mind the lecture is for the first 2 hours. I only have the discussion session on Thursdays. Class itself is alright. I was expecting it to be a lot harder, although we have not had any tests or quizzes but the professor grilled us into reading our books and handouts more. 

The time after class and discussion sessions however is a lot of fun. After class, I usually eat my lunch and go out to either the gym or the basketball courts and get schooled by college players all very very very tall... After playing basketball, I make my way back to my dorm and take a nice shower again. It's wonderful not having my dad bitching at me for showering too much.. After showers, I usually settle down for some homework and extra reading for English next year. Then after, I go to the buffet again and gorge on a variety of food. I'm afraid the news is true, I gained hella weight. bwahahaha. More cushion for the pushin tho. 

The specifics of this week is not that interesting. We went to the Transformers 2 premiere and ate in n out. Big whooop. The movie was dope tho. The theatre is huge. Seats more than 1400 people and there is a balcony that seats 300. Dope. The sound system is to die for. Sigh. 

I've met new people here at my stay in UCLA. My roommates' names are Mark and Jimmy. Mark is a Filipino weirdo. Jimmy is from France but speaks Italian. I don't really know how that works out.. He is taking Arabic here while Mark takes Latin and stays in his room all day watching a variety of TV sitcoms ranging from Heroes to some Japanese anime shit. Jimmy is a pretty chill dude.

We got mugged in downtown LA. Jimmy, this other guy named Bobby who takes the same class as me, and I went walking down to Beverly Hills. The night fell upon us, resulting in two asian guys running up to us, demanding us to flip our pockets and give them all our money. We were scared but didnt show it. We stepped out onto the incoming traffic and dared them to take the money. Jimmy socked the fat asian guy and broke his glasses. HAHA. They ran off.

I should have brought my laptop. I am using this nice girl's laptop to blogg. 
More blogs later in this week. 
Stay tuned

Monotony

just got home from playing basketball at Piedmont Hills with the regular group of players.
Tired as fuck.
I need to take a shower.

Summer break's only been a paltry three days, but it really does feel as if it's been a lot longer. Finals week was bullshit, barely any testing and mostly ditching class to chill with <3

Last thursday was dope tho. Hella sad that MVu couldn't make it.. ugh her dad..
Me, Justin, Mel, Gaea, Khoa, Dennis, Mike, and Kevin all fit in Justin's bangbus and drove down to Santa Cruz. We reached the beach around a cool 4 o'clock and started chillen. We drank a bit, and some guys popped. It was relaxing, to say the least. Getting away from the busyness of school was a relief. I brought my guitar to play and it was chill. After the beach, we all went home.

Friday was graduation. Tried to look nice with button up, tie, and blazer for love. Haha i think it worked out okay. The arena was packed tho. Getting in line and waiting was a bitch too. Mel and Anthony were there with me so time did pass by quickly.

Today is nothing special. hopefully, my parents let me go out again so i can go to Johnny's family dinner with MVu.

I know things are hard right now, especially with all the uncertainties. But I assure you, no matter what the outcome may be, I'll always be here for you. I'm sorry I don't stress that enough to you but you know how I am, all trying to be nonchalant about everything. I guess thats my fault, but I'll try harder. You'll never be alone.

Until next time,
