i was looking through the puc pix that are taking up space on my computer. and i found this picture.. i liked it so.. now it’s up.

she’s probably the most photogenic person i know.. not that grace’s ugly in person either.

looking at the pictures, i realize i haven’t talked to christine since puc. i’ve been telling everyone i didn’t have time to meet new people at puc. but that’s actually a lie. i met plenty of new people, but christine is some one i actually reached out to talk to. hmm.. i talked to her on the first day.. and the last day. i haven’t talked to her since.

don’t know why it bothers me..

anyways.. i’ve been weighing myself a lot these days.. i’m pretty amazed by what the scale says. since the beginning of summer i’ve gained 13 pounds. when june started i was a 135. a 135 i’ve been for about.. 3 years now. now.. last week i hit about 143.. now, i weigh myself and i get about 147 or 148. oddly enough.. i look the same to myself.. if that makes sense. that’s what my sister tells me too.

i’m not sure if it’s related, but i’ve been working out like crazy of late. if i’m not surfing i go to the gym. i think the whole olympics thing is getting to me and i feel like i got to get in shape. the air the volley ball players get is so incredible. the speed the track stars run is amazing. i tried to run a mile on the treadmill and i struggled to make a 7.30 mile. every night watching the olympics, there was this one song that came up on a commercial all the time. i finally figured out what it was yesterday, and i turns out i already have the song.

i bought a rack for my car off ebay. i bought it on monday but the guy still hasn’t sent it to me.. i think it’s starting to stress me out. hopefulyl it’ll come out alright. it’s the OEM rack plus a snowboard add-on. yah.. snowboard.. i need to buy a surfboard add-on. but if it’s all that it’s described it’s a steal for how much i got it.

now.. i’m getting ready to buy a camera. i pretty much have my mind set on the casio exilim ex-z40. but.. i will do a little more research before hand. i’ve been spending so much money lately. but yah.. i have nothing else to spend it on.. haha

i suppose i could spend it on my little nephews. they’re so cute

happy birthday jean

i know it’s been a long time since i’ve posted. i haven’t really found much to post about. all i’ve pretty much been doing these days is surf. since last wednesday… i’ve surfed wednesday, friday, saturday, sunday, monday, wednesday, thursday. the week before was puc. but somewhere in the middle God decided it’s time for some play time and he decided to send some big waves. someone told me at sunset beach, the surf was at 7 feet! that’s insane. that’s double what it’s usually at.

on monday, i went to san onofre down next to the dolly parton nuclear refinery down the 5 almost in sd. man.. the waves go for so long there. and they’re so easy to ride. i stayed there for… 6 hours? caught 3 waves. but the waves i caught.. man.. you just go forever. but i became dead sick on tuesday. couldn’t move around.. didn’t want to move around.. by wednesday i was back surfing..

this morning though.. i had no strength. and i still pretty much have no strength.. i think this fever’s really draining me.

i’m getting so dark.

conversation on tuesday while out on the water

me – man, i can’t catch anything

man – you look like you’re pretty good

me – nah, i just started a couple months ago

man – o, really…. you look like an islander.

the contrast between my back and my butt is alarming.

on.. wednesday, gloria’s mom commented that i looked like i had lost some weight. ever since i started working out more routinely and started surfing, i’ve gained 8 pounds. so it doesn’t really make sense to me… can anyone tell a difference? probably not.

today.. i bought a bottle of coke for 1.50 at the vending machine next to albertsons. it took the last money i had.. so i went to the bank inside the albertsons down the street. (yes.. there’s 2 albertsons within a block of each other). and a coke there was a buck 50 too. i went inside.. and bought a 2 liter for 79 cents. does this not make sense only to me?

if i remember correctly a drink at ucla is only a buck.

so.. the next thing i want to buy is a digital camera. i think i’m leaning toward the casio exilim ex-z40. it just went under 300 bucks. i’m also contemplating the minolta z2. it’s an slr-type camera. i’ve already bought sd memory for it. 256 for only 24 bucks. it was so cheap, i had to buy it.

after that.. my next big buy i think will be a surfboard rack for my car for about 280. yah.. i’m totally getting too much into this. i find myself wanting to buy surf brand clothes and i go to surfline.com constantly. i think i should get a new fin… it’s still not as an expensive hobby as snowboarding i don’t think.

i took off the wax on my board today… and i found something on it. it’s something i didn’t notice when i first got it ’cause i waxed it almost immediately. but it says..

it’s like.. the red violin.. i kinda wanna.. know the history of this board. i did a google on the name.. a lot of names popped up. hehe. and since this was sold decades ago.. well.. when was the internet made?

well that’s pretty much what i’ve been doing the last couple weeks. puc totally drained me.. and i think with all the surfing.. i still haven’t really recovered yet.. i’m perpetually tired. but.. i have to enjoy the summer when i can, right? i hope you’re enjoying your summer too

so yah.. here’s a clip from puc campmeeting. i’ll just title it as sung.wmv

two things you should know about this clip..

1. it was not planned ahead of time.

2. i didn’t realize he did it until i editted the tape on friday. yah.. you may be thinking… how can i miss him.. but seriously.. if you listen and watch.. i totally don’t react to him at all.

i also realize.. how much i don’t like my voice.

my favorite picture of the week.

for some reason, i took a lot of pictures of jasmine

josh and steven at vbs

ok.. the falling down… after i took that one picture.. i ran up next to heidi to take another picture of the people walking in front of us. and while i was taking the next picture, my feet slipped. i had juliana’s camera in my right hand and the camcorder in my left hand, so in a split second decision i decided to land on my arm. maybe.. i should’ve just landed on the camera…

i was so accident prone…

injuries-

scraped up right arm

scraped up right wrist

scraped up left knee

scraped up right knee
