Christmas Day

Yesterday was Christmas and I was so busy yesterday that I couldn't type in my blog. First off, my family went to Thunder Valley casino. It was so smokey in the part where I entered that I almost died of not breathing, lol. Then we got to the area where the restauraunts were and we got to a Chinese restaraunt where everyone inside was Chinese! The food was a little expensive but we got it for free because of my uncle. Uncle Jack had $1000 credit at the restauraunt. Well the food was super good. First it was chicken feet with some spicy sauce on it with extra bell peppers. Oh man, that was good! Then there was ordinary looking fried rice, but it wasn't ordinary. It had a delicious seafood taste to it. I don't know what it was because there was no fish in it but it was good! OOOO OOOO there was also chow mein, China style with some cool flavoring... IT WAS GOOD! Everything was good except the won ton soup had like no won ton in it. It was mostly noodles and beef. But what surprised me the most was the boxes they give you to take out food. It was in these plastic containers that you usually might see at Wal-Mart selling for $2 each.

Afterwards, I went to my Uncle's house in Thuder Valley. I played some Guitar Hero III on their Wii and some Wii sports. I should've brought Mario Galaxy so I could play, lol. Anyways Brandon and Gavin are becoming taller now. So is Stacy. Cousin Silas might be moving to Sacramento so I might not have a place to stay when I am in San Jose now... but if I go anywhere else I might have a chance living with cousins :).

Well we traveled back home and got a call from Sam. He said that my mom left her purse at my Uncle's house. So once we got back home we traveled to Sam's house in Sacramento and got my mom's purse... Why would you leave a purse with everything in it somewhere? What if it was at Chuckee Cheese's?! Anyways I was so tired yet a few moments after I fell asleep we arrived at my grandparent's house to have Christmas dinner. Bwah I was so tired from everything...

When my other cousins came over we opened presents. From grandma and grandpa I got $50, a new shirt with a NICE design and a new jacket with a cool design and it so WARM that I am wearing it right now!!! hahaha... From my cousins, I got a gift card for gasoline, which is very USEFUL!!! Then from my uncle and auntie I got a new Quicksilver Sweatshirt and some money.

From the other side of the family, I got a sudoku book to keep me away from the many times of boredom. Some money from my aunt and uncle. Uncle Jack treated the whole family out to lunch which I think cost about $400 and we got like 5 boxes of leftover. Oh, did I mention that the tea had a rich taste to it??? But where was the coffee?!!! Sam got Andrew and I a gift card to Chili's. My Uncle who lives right next door, got me a $25 target gift card.

So I got 3 $25 target gift cards and I play the spell card polymerization to fuse all three to create the ultimate $75 target eyes dragon!!! LOL...

Christmas was dinner was also good. Grandma's home cooking always beats any food that I eat from a fancy place. Grandma's cooking would get 10 out of 5 stars from me because I like it better and it costs more. Also Grandpa made some good mochi ice cream which was real good.

Christmas good this year, I especially like my gift: the giant pikachu thing. It is a good use of a pillow, lol.

Christmas Morning

Well I'm the only one that is up and on the internet this morning. I have to get ready though because in like 2 hours I have to go to Thunder Valley Casino for dim sum with family. I might bring my PSP to play Naruto or Guilty Gear because I might get bored in a casino because I don't want to gamble.

I hope they have an arcade or something for younger kids. Or maybe I might play 2 rounds of round table poker.

Christmas Eve

Well Christmas Eve was the day when my parents were working and I was home watching over my brother. Basically he played video games the whold day. So muchos boring!

I watched the Rick Warren Christmas Special again this year and it was good.

I have a bunch of merry xmas' already and a bunch of merry christmas' from my friends off internet profiles and such but this year I received less Christmas greeting cards...

Today's Today

Interesting title?

Well today I dressed up for Sunday service because I was supposed to help the children sing at church today. (=_=) I was the only one that dressed up...

Well we had 8 people helping today and 2 of us were in college, the rest were in highschool. Did you do the math for highschool? The answer is 6. If you got the wrong answer then you probably should read a first grade math book. The children's program was 30 minutes long and I missed service today so I have to download the podcast of iTunes later. I was in the nursery with Marisa (Eric and Kathy's daughter). With some people from old school (LIFE). Josh was here today but I couldn't chat that long because Norman wanted to give me my apple soda gift and Becky wanted me to get Zachary so I can get a gift from him.

Then in the afternoon I fell asleep after playing Guilty Gear Judgement on my PSP, which is a really addicting game when you already know the buttons. Then I woke up when cousin Christian, Candice and Zach came over (The Gin Family).

Then the last thing I did before eating milk and cookies and going to write this blog for today was I played Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii. I am almost farther than my brother in the game even though my brother started yesterday and played longer than me.

Fronteir DSL

Fronteir DSL service is horrible. At first it was okay. It was just like having cable internet, but then when I was watching Get Backers on Youtube, my internet got really slow. Then we tried to cancel it but it took forever to do so. Stupid Fronteir DSL, I never trusted it. I always told my parents to just keep comcast. Comcast is COOL!

Bored...

Brother's Fault

Its my brother's fault that he can't ride his bike to school on a minumum day. Dang these kids these days are hecka lazy. Before I had my license, I always rode my bike to school when it was rain or shine. Now I can't go to Davis and eat sushi. Bummer...

Philosophy Journals

Well I'm done with finals now. I turned in the philosophy journals that I posted below. It all is 50 pages including extra journals that I did.

Journal 1 to 6

Journal 1

Today was the first day of my philosophy class. We discussed the term philosophy because to start a class off, each person must know what philosophy is. Each student in the class was able to say a word relating to philosophy and give an explanation about the relations. Some of the words that were mentioned: religion, scripture, and especially the term known as “Zen”. From religion there were links between many religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism and so on. The word, scripture established a link to the passages for the different religions. As each student received a chance to speak about their mentioned words, our professor talked about the real meaning of the course of philosophy and how it has influenced others.

I think the first lecture was good today because the teacher and students are allowed to participate a lot more than any other class. Most classes have the students sit in class and take notes, quizzes and then tests. Most of the time, participating can be done only to answer a question or read a passage from the reading. In Dr. Schubert’s class, students answer multiple questions and participate in the discussion which I think is good. Also the teacher can turn a simple question into a question that is hard to answer. This class really makes me think in class.

From Dr. Schubert’s lecture I received his definition of philosophy. His definition according to my notes was: of that discipline concerned with formulating, understanding, and answering fundamental questions through the use of reason. Fundamental question examples that were used in our discussion were:

1) What is the ultimate nature of reality?
2) What is it to reason well?
3) What is it to a person to be a good person?

Today we focused on religion, which is our shared values, our beliefs, our way of life, our deities and our spirituality. These were the main terms for religion picked out by the class discussion.

What I thought of today’s lecture: Well it was continuing the lecture from the previous lecture. I learned a lot more of what the class was. At first I signed up for the class because it sounded really interesting and the class is very interesting. I can’t wait to learn about more in Eastern Philosophy.

Journal 2
Today, we have discussed the differences between Western and Eastern philosophy. There are two different categories of philosophy classes at Los Rios Colleges. A person has the choice to choose the side of Western philosophy or Eastern philosophy. Western teaches about the religions in the United States. Eastern philosophy is my current course right now and it seems very interesting because it talks about the religions in the Eastern part of the world such as places in Asia.

The Eastern are elitist, practical and are based on experience. The Western are egalitarian, theoretical and are based on reason.

If the terms “elitist” and “egalitarian” are unclear, I shall provide their definitions according to Harper Collins Webster’s Dictionary.

A) Elitist- the pick or best part of society
B) Egalitarian- a person that believes that all people should be equal and to promote the idea

From the lecture today, I got to have a chance to know more about Western Philosophy which is another course taught by Schubert at Consumnes River College (CRC). The thoughts of the religions on the East and West are different. Western philosophy seems really interesting. I might want to take that course as well when I have time.


Hinduism is the religion that is generic for Indian philosophy. The oldest text of Hinduism includes the Vedas. In these texts contain great knowledge. The Vedas have three different parts just like in Christianity where God is split into three different forms. These forms in Christianity are known as the Holy Father, the Holy Spirit and the Almighty God. The Vedas has three forms known as the Samhita, Brahmana and the Sutra. First I would like to say a few words about these forms about what the names mean. These are Vedic divisions.

Brahma Samhita

It is a Sanskrit Pancarata. It is comprised with verses of prayer spoken by Brahma to Krishna at the beginning of creation. So the main word would be “beginning”.

Brahmana

The Brahmanas explain the Vedic rituals and Vedanta. Vedanta is a school of philosophy within Hinduism dealing within the nature of reality. It also talks about departure.

Sutra

It was a rule that held the two schools of Hindu philosophy together. Sutra refers to scripture and records.

Terms or notes from class discussion today:
The rishis or seers were the communicators of the divine.
The shruti were given authority.

Journal 3
The Upanishads has a thing called Trimurti. Trimurti means “three forms”. So what are these three forms of the Upanishads? (This is basically a re-cap of journal 4) The three forms are Brahma who creates, Shiva who destroys and Vishna who maintains everything.

Monotheism/Henotheism: It is the devotion to a single God while accepting that there exists other gods.

Polytheism: It is the belief and worship of multiple deities. The Greeks used polytheism because they believed in many gods and goddesses.

Through my visit to China, I went to a temple where there were different statues that people worshipped. They were different types of gods and spirits.
(Check out the Main Temple of Dali, China where chickens are sacrificed every week)


Brahman is the one god, divine of all reality, who is pervading the universe. He is involved in creation of the gods and unification of gods. Brahma stops being a human and he becomes a force.

My Question: Brahma becomes a force. What does that mean?

Read Page 68 of the Upanishads in discussion for more information…

Brahman is…
a) world ground
b) the creator and inner controller of all things
c) unitary (union of opposites)
d) omnipresent (everywhere)
e) the essence (“finest” part of everything)
f) the supreme personal good
g) the Self (consciousness)
h) non-dually self aware EXAMPLE: watching yourself in the past like a movie
i) beyond the power of ordinary discursive thought
j) transcendent of nama-rupa “Name and Form”
k) mystically discoverable

Page 76 of the Upanishads says Atman is Brahman.
Page 77 in paragraph two, Prajapati says “That which is seen in the eye, which is the Self. That is immortal, that is fearless, and that is Brahman.”

Class Notes:

____ has characteristics x, y, z by definition.

-------- lacks characteristics x

_____

: . --- is not _____.

This is one diagram of a basic philosophical argument. In Schubert’s class, we use a lot of philosophical arguments.

Material vs. Immaterial

Reality is depended on substance. Those who are materialistic think of their bodies. For example, people like to buy objects such as television sets and materialistic objects that aren’t needed. Those who are immaterial think of their soul which is also known as their mind. The body is known as a gross manifestation.

Notes:
The Self (notice how Self is uppercased) is more subtle than the body. The Self is also known as your consciousness.
The self (this time it is lowercased) is attached to the body.
In historical times, analogical argumentation was used.
There were two different types of these arguments: two valued logic and multi-valued logic. This is also known as our modern world way of saying “true or false”.
What is Advaita Vedanta? Let’s split it up, shall we? “Ad” means non and “vaita” means dual. So it would mean Non-dual Vedanta.
Illusions are neither real nor unreal.
Ignorance is surely an illusion.
Maya means illusion.
Maya is the phenomenal world, the world of ordinary experience.
Brahma isn’t material stuff.
Brahma isn’t individual existence.
Brahma isn’t Earth.

Journal 4
Vedanta means ending or conclusion of knowledge. “Veda” means knowledge and “Anta” means end or conclusion. Vedanta was similarly referred to the Upanishads. The book we have currently in class is a translated version of the Upanishads.

A simple question: What exactly are the Upanishads?

They are part of the Hindu Scriptures. They discuss philosophy, meditation and the nature of God. Again they are referred as the Vedanta for their mystical and spiritual contemplations of the Vedas.

Quick reflection:
There are scriptures for many religions which include philosophy and meditation. Are these two comparisons alike in any way?

From Class Discussion Notes:

Axioms are the belief or principle accepted without justification and is seen in no need of justification. Some examples of axioms included in the class discussion were:

1) The eternal, unchanging and unitary is more real than the transient, changing and multiplications.
Ex: Real romantic love is unchanging, but professing to someone else is changing

2) The universe is fundamentally fair. This includes suffering.
3) The suffering that’s part of the ordinary human condition is escapable.

To me, the lecture today didn’t make any sense until Schubert gave examples of what axioms were.

Journal 5
In class discussion, we learned about karma. Karma is a Sanskrit that exists in the world today. It is an action or deed based on the things you do. Each action has an external consequence. When reincarnation happens the body dies but the soul attaches to something else. In other words an old man that has lived a really long prosperous life could have gone through a lot of pain and sorrow. He may all of a sudden come to death and reincarnate into a little boy who is one of the richest people on Earth.

Media notices:
Sometimes in media, there are uses of reincarnation in the wrong way. Such as the way they use it in cartoons. Sometimes on Halloween specials an evil spirit will die and transfer to someone’s body and possess them. In religious beliefs, this cannot happen.

A question that I must ask would be, if a person reincarnates back into a human being do they have to go through everything they ever went through all over again?

From the class discussion meeting, Dr. Schubert mentioned it all depends on the balance of karma. The karma must be balanced.

Skandha – group, heap, aggravate: psychological aggravate

The 5 Skandhas

1) Corporeality
2) Sensation
3) Perception
4) Volitimal Formations
5) Consciousness

The Skandhas exist in the Upadana, Trishna, Buddhas and the Arhats.

The Abhidarma Kosha has four kinds of attachments. These attachments are sense, views, rites and rules, and individuality. Trishna causes this attachment.


Journal 6
We read excerpts from “The Sermon of Benures” today. We also read questions that are not tending towards edification in the teachings of the compassionate Buddha.
Terms:
Du (Bad) Kkha (Empty, hollow)
Anitya/annica: impermanence
I didn’t even know what impermanence was until I looked it up in the dictionary. Permanence means fixedness. (Ex from dictionary: The boy has fixed his hair) So impermanence means not fixedness.

Everything in the phenomenal world is “conditioned”.

There are five groups of Dukkha, these are called the skandhas. These skandhas are corporeality, sensation, perception, volitional formations and consciousness.

Notes: Sanskrit is an Indo-European language
Proto à Indo-European
Indo-European à Latin
à Sanskrit
à German à English

From Indo-European language a lot of languages originated from it.

Parts of an item do not make up a self, if you can accept the self does not exist than suffering will end. What is meant by this? An example would be if I bought a can of chicken noodle soup. Would I have to pay for every ingredient in that soup or just the soup can? In the can there may be over a hundred ingredients with a price for each one of them. No like the first sentence says the self is not made up by the parts of the body. It is a hard answer to answer when saying of what it is made up of. The self which is the body is made up of the soul and the body parts. Like the example used in class, the teacher used the example of the exchange of old car parts. The old car parts that were exchanged were not described as the car. A good example of this would be a commercial on television where one lady buys this new healthy microwavable product and it has so many ingredients in it. The cashier rings up the item and it turns out to be over a hundred dollars.

Journal 7 to 10

Journal 7
The Mayana is the doctrine of Atman that implies to all arising dharma (phenomenon). The sunyta is emptiness. The Theravada means doctrine of the elders. Hinayama means lesser vehicle. Mahayana is the great vehicle, it says do not give up what is important to you, just don’t attach to other things.

What attracts people to Buddhism?

Buddhist doctrine is enlightened for anyone.
It offers moksha, which is the release of the soul.

My thoughts:
Buddhism is something that a lot of people become attracted to. I’ve noticed that some people who watch and enjoy a lot of Asian cultural things may sometimes revert from their religion to Buddhism. People who watch Japanese animation become interested in Japanese Buddhism for a reason. Japanese and Chinese culture has become popular in the United States.

Theravada accepts the doctrines of Antman. Mahayana extends the doctrine to everything. Mahayana is split up into schools. These schools are the Madhyamika which cannot conduct in metaphysical reality and their ultimate reality is empty.
Schools:
a) Yogacara – idealist school, independently unveiled
b) Nichirin – a school in Japan
c) Zen – mature product of Chinese Taoism

Buddha emphasizes compassion for enlightment. Bodhisattva puts off Buddha in order to assist others to obtain Nirvana. Bodhisattva does not enter Nirvana though. The doctrine of Parinamana is the transfer of merit, you get what you deserve.

Important!
j/ren – humanity
j/ren j/ren – person of j/ren
chun tzu – game

Journal 8
Confucius believes than the jen ren equals goodness. He also believes in benevolence. Confucius uses fu-li to follow the rituals of society. First, what is fu-li? In Schubert’s lecture, fu stands for discipline or submission of self and li stands for ritual. So fu-li means the path that trend to ____.

Through Hsun Tzu, social relations are developed.
a) ruler/minister
b) father/son
c) older brother/younger brother
d) husband/wife
e) friend/friend

Hsun Tzu’s social relations are also in the modern time today. We have friends; we have a father and a mother. People become married. Some have younger brothers or sisters. The father/son relationship can also be like teacher/student relationship.
In the excerpts from Mo Tzu, human nature has different people thinking if it is good or bad. Mencius thinks it starts out good and ends to be good. Hsun Tzu thinks the human nature is evil or bad. Kao Tzu thinks it is neutral. All of them are Confucians. Also all of them think people can become good.

Analogical Arguments are used in Mo Tzu. Analogical arguments have a structure.
X, Y: things
A, B: properties (features)
The structure:
X has A
Y has B
X has B
Then Y has B

Mo Tzu describes the nature of man and a willow tree has righteousness and can become wooden cups and wicker baskets. They are not originally good and they require outside influence.

Journal 9
For an introduction of the new section of lectures that we will be studying I want to introduce Tao which is pronounced (Dao) and Te which is pronounced (Day). Tao is the world and its reality in its totality. The Te is one’s particular appropriate relationship to the world. Tao Te can also mean “what is our relationship to the world?”

In class I received a handout that tells more about the symbol of Tao. The character for Tao is composed of several ideograms. The square with two horizontal dashes inside it represents a head with little tuffs of hair on top, the head of a leader. It is combined with the marks of feet running and stopping, which is now written in modernized script, and means “to advance.” Together they symbolize the higher mind, along with the feet, advancing on the same path.

Everyone has noticed the yin-yang symbol on martial arts uniforms or Asian media. The symbol is not authentic. The yin and yang are two alternate premeditates. The world arises from the interplay of the yin and the yang. The yin and the yang also permit change. The yin can be described as the cloudy and the overcast. The yin is yielding. The yang can be described as banners waving in the wind. It can be known as the sun. It is firm and easy to be understood. The yin and yang can be described as the dark and light side of mountains or rivers.

Journal 10
Before we begin going through Tao Te Ching, we have to understand the way of the Chinese language. Without knowing how the Chinese language is written it is hard to understand and of Chaung Tzu or Tao Te Ching.

The Chinese language has many oral “dialects”, many of which are, in linguistic terms, full languages and can be as different as French is from German. Even those who may speak the same linguistic language, e.g. Cantonese, may have trouble understanding each other, similar to how people who speak the British English might have trouble understanding people who speak English in the deep Southern United States. In fact, sometimes a person from one village will have trouble understanding a person from a neighboring village in China.

In contrast to the diversity of oral languages, there is only one written Chinese language. No matter what oral dialect a person speaks, all literate Chinese people can understand the written Chinese language. So no matter where you go in China, if you know the written Chinese language, you can always communicate with the literal locals.

There are two forms of each character. There is traditional and simplified. The simplified characters are now the main use in the main lands and in classroom at Chinese schools. Unlike Western languages, Chinese does not have an alphabet. Each character represents a whole word or an idea. This is from another handout I received. It is true because in Southern China I went to a village and my dialect was a little different than the people speaking there.

Journal 11 to 13

Journal 11
An action in Tao Te Ching can be gained or lost. The goal is to empty the mind and work with one’s spirit. The one who must do this has to align their nature. This is called Ziran. Ziran means self way.
In the book of Tao Te Ching, people have to find the “wei”. The “wei” is the doing. The “Wei wu Wei” is the doing the not doing. Tao Te Ching consists of different passages that some people can see them as Chinese proverbs. In Chuang Tzu, there is a mediocre cook and there is Cook Ting. The mediocre cook uses his skills to cook and he chops meat swiftly and in beauty. (Ming à Shih) Cook Ting slashes and hacks the meat. Cook Ting uses his spirit to cook. He is doing the not doing. One example is on how a typical college student studies for a midterm. How does he/she do it? Do they hang out with friends at a library or bubble tea shop to study together? Do they go to a quiet place to study? Do they ask for guidance from their teacher? A student who is effortless knows how to study.

Martial Arts Example
To find wei, a child comes into a martial arts temple. He asks the sensei about how he should train. It would take 15 years to train, 20 years to do double the training and 30 years if the child trained both day and night. His training methods just increased his years of training. He understands that he must find his own wei. He has to empty his self and inhibit his master.

Tao Te Ching Chapters 1-3

Ming Chia known as the Names School maintains language and knowledge. Ming Chia determines ibject and what their names apply to. For example take a normal ordinary chair. It can be called a metal chair, a seat or a piece of furniture.

The two primary figures of Ming Chia are Hui Shih and Kung Sun Lung. Hui Shih was Chaung Tzu’s teacher. In Chuang Tzu, a passage said: I go to Yueh today and I arrive there yesterday. So in English terms we can take the date today which is November 6th and say that we go to Yueh. We can say on November 7th that we arrived there yesterday. Another passage says “The heavens are as low as the earth and the mountains are as low as the marshes”. The advantage point at looking at things is special and earthly properties have a similar relation. Another passage said: that which has no thickness cannot be increased in thickness and yet it is so great as to cover a thousand miles. The universe covers a thousand miles but it changes. It is hard to describe this passage.

Hui Shih rode on a horse one day and wanted to get past a gate that said no horses allowed. Hui Shih claimed his horse was not a horse because it was white and these are some of his arguments:
1) The word “horse” denotes a shape. The word “white” denotes a color. Therefore a white horse is not a horse.
2) When a horse is required a yellow or black horse is included. A white horse is excluded so the white horse is not a horse.
The language fixes, reality (Tao) is not fixing.

Great similarity differs from little similarity. This is called little similarity indifference. All things are similar and individually all things are different; this is called great similarity difference.

A Taoist point of mind believes that they must acquire stillness. Their mind has to come to a rest through meditation. Building spiritual temples doesn’t give any merit and copying scriptures is a total waste of time due to the story of Bodhidharma. The things we see are they real or are they a dream? The Taoist view shows that each thing has its own inner nature. According to Te there is power and virtue.

Here is a poem about the true and false mind from The Book of Five Rings
It is the mind
That is the mind
Confusing the mind.
Do not leave the mind
O mind, to the mind.

The Taoist stages are over-developed. There is the contemplative which is reclusive. There is the purposive which is possible to walk two roads. There is the religious which contains Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. It is all included in the central doctrine of Wu Wei. (Chaung Tzu pg. 40 and pg. 126)

Now we begin studying Zen. The basic principles of Zen are:
1) No dependence on words
2) Seeing clearly into one’s own Buddha nature
3) Direct pointing at reality
4) Direct transmission from mind to mind

Zen masters teach monks about Zen. They teach them that they must empty their mind first before obtaining Zen. They must accept disgrace willingly and also accept reality. To understand Zen masters, you have to go beyond the teachings and symbols. General Mahayana scriptures have a lot of symbols. They do not need the monastery for enlightenment. Zen says scriptures have no meanings. They must recognize their own Buddha nature. Normal activity such as jogging can be an enlightenment of Buddha or not. It doesn’t matter if they are a cook or a wood carpenter to obtain Satori. They will have to obtain prajna which is the wisdom to know the truth and not knowing. Theravada extinguishes desires by excavation. Mahayana extinguishes desire by assisting. One way of holding back senses is to do yoga. Zen uses tathagata which is also known as p’u. One good book to read based off of Tao Te Ching is the Tao of Pooh. Buddha means awareness. They use language to find meaning.

Journal 13
This week we watched a video based on Zen practices throughout China and Japan. Zen masters do hard training on martial arts such as kendo, aikido and jujitsu. Different Zen monks do different practices. Such as Japanese Zen monks do practices for the tea ceremony. Chinese Zen monks do practices such as plays or dance ceremonies. They meditate during the day by walking and sitting in one position. Their main goal is attain satori. Zen monks use writing to express their thoughts and their mind. They go through non-attachment which is to be open minded and attached. Some of them become naturalists, who make nature for a test. They live in a temple with three halls of silence. These three halls are the meditation, dining and bathe halls. Most of the time they meditate day and night in the meditation hall. In the dining hall they eat limited amounts of food and tea. Sometimes they are able to drink sweet sake on an occasion. At the end of every month they take a test by their master or they go out to practice begging.

At the end of the Lunar Calendar, each monk goes through Satori which is also known as enlightenment. This is the final part. They roshi which is to control their mind and body. In their test by Zen masters, they are asked a question. They may not use real life logic. They must find themselves in their mind. The first step is Za’Zen. The next is Za’Sui. Za’Sui is the period of time where they meditate for 7 days without laying down. They do takkuhatsu which is training to become beggars.

Iku created the tea ceremony. Through serving tea, a monk can discover the awakening principles of Zen. Mostly everything is done in silence especially eating a meal. In Zen training, you need posture.

From past experience, I’ve gone near a temple in China. I saw monks walking around the temple. Most of them did things in motion. They each followed each other like their minds were empty.

Journal 14 to 15

Journal 14
Mu Shin… To transcend motion is the highest meditation. Chuang Tzu contends that we can appear to be still but aren’t really still. Zen practices is doing the not doing, in other words it is Wei Wu Wei. The goal of Zen is to see one’s own nature. It is not to create disillusions. This is enlightenment. Not engaging in appearance is wisdom. To look on life is different than death. “Nirvana is an empty mind.” Nirvana is emptiness. Zen is commited to the descendant that transcends. The Self is a conceptual fiction. Using the mind to study reality will not allow you to understand reality or the mind. This is understanding the not understanding. The absence of understanding is not true understanding. When reality depends on you that which is fake becomes real. When you depend on reality that which is real becomes fake. To see form or hear corruption is liberation. Mahayana Zen is social. Zen teaches living in enlightenment in social paths. Be in harmony of what we do. Form and mind are both pure. Zen says that there is no heaven or hell.

Schubert argues that Zen is not a religion it is a philosophy. Zen practice is a form of psychotherapy. A book to read based on Zen is Alice in Wonderland.

When we fail to see clearly we need to practice itelligence za’zen. We can love and enjoy. We can be liberated. It is okay for someone to be okay when they are enlightened.

Journal 15
We want to be somewhere else or something else sometimes. This is called unenlightenment. A man who lacked compassion once said, “Do I need my material covered?” He was not wanting to be at the place he was at the moment. During Zen meditation practice, the meditation can not be bothered. Sharp experience is okayness. Thich Nhat Hanh who was a Vietnamese monk wrote a book on Zen. He dwelled in awareness. He could smile and breathe in awareness.

In a cold classroom, do you feel cold? You have a choice to choose if it is or not. Choices are problematic. There is also the choice of emotions. Anger can be transformed into something else. Internal formation that depend on reality are unenlightened. Those who are afraid to bring in conscience mind practice breathing and smiling. To feel suffering we must understand it. There are steps to becoming one with feeling. First you need to recognize each feeling as it arises. Second, you must best to become friends with your fear. Don’t feel fear. The problem most time is drowning in your own fear. Lastly, calm your feelings. Become one with the feelings.

Extra Journal (Reflection of the Class)
I think this class was really great. From start to finish, I learned a lot in the class. Even though I won’t be in Schubert’s class anymore, during free time I may want to gather some more information on what I had studied in his class and learn more. Schubert was a great teacher and I am glad that I took his course.

Basketball Game Today

It was our church's bball team's first win for this season. It was because K. Okino scored all 3 pointers in the first quarter. Then Matt did a lot of shots in the second quarter. Hau was super fast. It was a good game.

Endeavor Christmas Party

So I didn't want to participate in the word games, so I played and watched over Evan and Grace. The food was good and I met some new people.

Tokimeki Memorial Completed Series

Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~
Plot: Aoba Riku has just transferred to a new high school because of his father`s job, and things aren`t quite what he expected. The headmaster`s secretary controls the school while espousing the virtues of academic freedom, the teachers are even stranger than normal teachers, and half the student body is walking around with animal ears on. On his very first day, Riku is unfortunate enough to find himself at the center of the student council`s latest event, which has him running for his life. All this on top of the normal high school rigour of popularity contests, crushes, and homework makes it unsure whether Riku will be able to survive this new school.

Tokimeki Memorial Only Love

I just finished watching it and now I'm sad... I wish there was more to the story... I want to see Aoba get together with Kasuga, Amamiya and Yayoi... boohoo...

I saw the online game which was in like episode 15 or something like that... but I don't have a Konami online pass...

Kids These Days: Game Addiction

Young kids these days especially boys are addicted to video games. I have experienced this when I was young but I wasn't really addicted because I only had two video games and they were Pokemon and Street Fighter II. Well nowadays we have younger kids who play video games A LOT. My brother is so addicted with video games that he can't quit and also he can't talk about anything other than video games. Also he only likes video game music. Okay so my cousin and I were gamers also when we were young but hey I've changed and so has he. My cousin now likes sports and music and stuff. I like drawing, music, and web design. We still play video games once in awhile but we are not as addicted as children are.

Well at least when Super Smash Bros Brawl comes out I'll be addicted to it and won't stop playing, lol.

My brother is annoying with his video game noises in the morning... Its annoying waking up to his annoying sound effects.

RRNC Christmas Party 2007

Well yesterday night was the Christmas party and I went and ate dinner and played some of the events there. Since most of my friends are away for college it was kind of a drag. I was so tired that night that I didn't do much.

I was like an Infernape about to punch someone to have fun.

World Championship 2008 (USA)

It came out and it is no different than the Japanese version. So yeah... I think I might just stick with the Japanese version.

Tales of Innocence came out but it doesnt work :(

Facebook vs Myspace Blog 2

Well I have to say Facebook has a lot more people I know on there than Myspace. I just got one of my good pals added onto facebook. He was a good friend in my Advisory class since I knew like nobody when I got into the class.

Anyways Neopets somehow got me on again because of the Advent Calender thing.

Good Anime

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

A really funny anime when it started out because the main character Tsuna doesn't know what is going on, but then when he gets his powers of a hitman it becomes really exciting.

Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~

I think it is a pretty good anime. Love Hina was a funny anime but I like this anime better because the art is a lot better and the story is much more interesting.

Entertaining WOW video

WC 2008 Japan

The game was already released in Japan, but I have it. I have the Japanese version, but the whole game is in English. So I am like the only kid in America on the rankings.

My Weekend

On Saturday, I went shopping with my brother. He bought a Yu-Gi-Oh! 2007 Christmas Gift Tin and a "Wicked Eraser" card. Cards and Comics were selling common cards for 10 cents, I lost interest in buying cards years ago so I bought nothing there. I went to Target and bought a Gozarutchi plush from the Tamagatchi series. I couldn't decide if I wanted that or a Pikachu plush. Then at Best Buy, I bought the Naruto game for my PSP.

On Sunday though, my brother was blaming me for taking his sandals when they were my sandals. If you look at the bottom and side of the sandals, you'll see my name on them so they were my sandals and yeah the family got into a stupid arguement over my sandals. No one believed the fact that I put my name on the sandals.

LIFE Great Pumpkin Chase 2007

Well LIFE ended November off with the annual Great Pumpkin Chase. A lot of new people came and some people who I haven't seen in a long time came. I was put into Ken's group of 6 people including my cousin, whom I was paired up with for the past 2 years. Our group didn't win. Andrew, my brother's team won. But how???

The Pumpkin was located at the park on neosho.

China Powerpoint

My China powerpoint presentation went really smooth today. There was another presentation today and it was on China. God had decided a great date for me to do my project on because today's lesson was ending the subject of Asia.

I got an A+ on my project.

Christmas Songs

Searching for Christmas songs on myspace is the hardest thing to do ever during this time of the year. Facebook has a much better search. Thank you all who make Christmas a very special holiday with songs of worship and praise.

November 25th

Today I went to church and saw a lot of my old friends who went away to college. Josh was back from Long Beach and it was nice talking and seeing him. He goes back to school tomorrow. Josh is going to be back for Christmas break. He is going to let me borrow "A Moment With You" by Wong Fu Productions when he comes back.

Andrew Finch came back and it was nice seeing him as well. Well the Great Pumpkin Chase will be at my house this Friday so I might go.

All of the LIFErs that went while I was there may be going too. That may mean a lot of the LIFErs who are now in college will be here, lol. As well as the LIFErs that have already been going to LIFE such as Sammy, Lauren, Matt and Kevin. Where is Nick Jew?!

Early Christmas Tree

Well we just got our Christmas tree out and put all the ornaments on. We are the first on our block to have a Christmas tree up already, lol.

Friday outreach and DS games

Well today was my grandma's b-day so I bought her these enormous flowers that she really enjoyed. This morning, Sammi asked me about my cell phone number, well I uh misplaced it again and my friend gave her my number and she wanted to check if it was right. Well on Friday, the youth group had an outreach in Downtown, Sacramento. We prepared dinners for the homeless and passed them out at night. It was kind of scary, but we touched people's hearts during this time. Next month we will be doing it during daylight so it won't be scary.

Dude, I Spy the video game is so fun. I like the book and the game! Also I've just figured out how to play Glory Days II and it is now really fun also. Playing Jump Ultimate Stars online is still super fun. Kristen Ito just got Halo 3 super early. I think I will go over and play it, lol.

Well I was listening to the same song by Mute Math on many different items all at the same time. It is Typical. It has a great beginning thats why I like it. It was on my Ipod, myspace, facebook and my Nintendo DS Lite. Now I'm putting it on here so I can listen to it everywhere, lol. Enjoy.

New Simpsons and Family Guy coming up. I'm going to watch it. The King of the Hill episode, Hank buys a game like Counter-Strike, it was hecka cool!

Thanksgiving

Today, I went to the football game at CGBC. There were two people from RRNC but the rest of the guys who were playing were from CG and some who didn't go to church, but at Kennedy there were a whole bunch of people who were playing football. I heard Gavin and Chris were playing at Kennedy. I wonder if Jared was there.

In the afternoon, I spent my day cleaning up my room and going out to run in the cold. It was really cold today. There were a bunch of people at the park near my house from LCBC playing football. I played some tennis for awhile at a different park, but my hands were frozen so I stopped.

Thanksgiving dinner was good. We had soup that was really good and hot. There was turkey, duck and chicken. We had sushi from Megami, the sushi bar that my uncle owns. We had jello because all asian buffets have it, lol. We had vegetables. It was good. Christmas dinner is coming in like 4 weeks and I can't wait to eat my grandpa's seafood!

Now I am tired because I played Scrabble with my brother and won! I got 254 points. Then I played Link's Crossbow Training on Wii.

Megami Sushi

Well today I went to visit Uncle Ken, the uncle that I've only met with twice in my life. He owns a sushi bar downtown called Megami. We got some sushi.

Apple Soda has been found! (I think...)

The Apple Soda that I drank in China was found by Norman, who was in China with me when I bought the apple soda, but he hasn't told me where I can buy it here in America yet...

NDS games of November 2007

Well this month for Nintendo DS, a lot of really great games were released and are still being released.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker is a really good game. It is sort of like Pokemon but the monsters don't evolve. The monsters gain new abilities and the game has some really good graphics. Wi-Fi play is still being developed for this game.

Cooking Mama 2 came out in Japan. Fans of Cooking Mama, will love this game when it comes out in America. I have Cooking Mama 1 which is a really fun game that everyone loves.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings is coming out in a few days for DS in America. I played the Japanese version and it didn't make sense, so I'm waiting for the game in English.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles came out in Japan and it is a really fun game but the game is a little too easy to beat.

Contra 4 came out. It is a really hardcore game because I can't get past the 5th level, but it is fun.

Advance Wars Day of Ruin is coming out in Japan the last day of this month, I can't wait.

Mario Party DS was released today, but I have it in Japanese and it is not all that special.

This excitingly unexcited week

Well this week was mostly midterms. I studied really hard for my philosophy midterm and it was still hard. I went to the library for the first time and studied there but somehow it became noisy because a bunch of the "cool" asian kids were getting noisy. I am an "uncool nerdy" asian kid that likes to study. So I moved to the cafeteria where I thought in the first place that it would be noisy but there was like no one there, lol. So I studied there.

On Dingleit.com I am now a moderator of the forums so come out and post stuff at the forums.

I've been watching a bunch of series of anime and this week, the final episode of Dokuro Chan came out. Cromartie Highschool just finished up too.

Dokuro Chan Wallpaper

Well this is my Zukoro and Sakura-kun Wallpaper that I made for the anime OAV contests. Where each person selects an OAV and makes a desktop wallpaper for it. The OAV I chose was Dokuro Chan.

Audio Flash

First Horror Short

Well I started filming the first horror short today. It took a long time because I kept on laughing because the crew kept smiling when they weren't supposed to. Also I like putting a little comedy in each video and I was supposed to fake put mouthwash in my nose, but like a whole cup worth of it accidentally went in my nose and my nose became all minty and stuff...

You are probably like saying: "Ewww" well yeah it was nasty. My nose was minty for like half an hour, lol.

Apple Hill

Well yesterday, I went to Boa Vista, Apple Hill. I went to the apple market and it was interesting because of all the apples that they had there. The most funny apple name was Macintosh because I was thinking of the computer Macintosh, lol. Anyway we bought 2 boxes of 20 lbs worth of apples for $5 each. Amazing! (Sugoi!)

My mom made apple cake and it was delicious.

Josh Yee's Video

Josh has been my friend every since... well before I turned 2. He and his video team made an awesome new video, so vote for it!

This Weekend

Last night, Zach stayed over and was at LIFE. I am no longer part of LIFE, but FOCUS should be starting up soon so I'm going to go to FOCUS as soon as it starts up. I am going to buy a microphone for my psp so I can use it online. My skills at Ultimate Stars has improved, I made a new deck with Sasuke and Naruto 7 and 8 komas.

Anyways my parents are going to be out again tonight and my brother has a project that he has had 3 months to do which he has just started this morning to work on. So he has to finish it while I have to supervise him.

Videos for Christ

I am starting again with Christian rap music videos. I will be using Hightyde again as well as Only Won, King MC, Lecrae, Everday Process and Trip Lee.

Also I've been listening to more of David Crowder Band, Sanctus Real, and Kutless.

I might do Kutless' song "Superman"

Philosophy of Martial Arts

This weekend my professor, Dr. Rick Schubert will be speaking UC Berkley for a martial arts philosophical exhibition. Now to start a quick introduction of my magnificent professor. He is my Eastern Philosophy teacher at my school Consumnes River College. He is also a master of a martial arts. I don't know which one, but he gave his lecture on martial arts today. I got so into it that I might take his Martial Arts Philosophy class this Spring.

Anyways the way he made his lecture today he put confucisim and daoism connected to martial arts. His topic was on Master and Student relationship.

Annoying Brother

Gosh, my brother is so annoying. Tonight, while watching television he came downstairs to the room I was watching TV in and played his game with the surround sound on. Man it was so annoying. I told him to turn it down and then he just said "No! I need the sound on!" In my head I was like why is this dork playing his DS where I can hear annoying sounds? Why can't I watch TV in peace?!

While I was washing the dishes, my brother took my lion pillow. Man that is my favorite pillow and he stuffed it under the couch. It is also my favorite stuffed animal in my room. Once I lifted the couch and moved the lion out from underneath, my brother just stuffed my lion back underneath. He did this like a thousand times which really annoyed me. I'm usually the one that does all the work in the house. I clean bathrooms, the kitchen, my room, the backyard, etc.

My brother says he can't mow the lawn because he can smell the gasoline. Well I am like: "Hey little brat how come you don't complain about the smell of a gas station? It has the same smell but worst!"

Also my brother never cleans the dishes because he always says he has homework to do and what pisses me off is that once I am done doing dishes I walk up to the room he said he was doing homework in and he is playing video games.

Man my brother is really lazy and annoying and if I could turn into multiples of myslef like a ninja I could totally take control.

Make a Hollow Mask from Bleach

1) Cover your a side of your face with your hand and make it look like the hand is morphing into a mask.

2) Now draw out how the hand formation was or take a picture of how it looks.

Photoshop steps:

1) Cut off the wrist from the picture.

2) Color the hand part white.

3) Add a hollow eye which is usually yellow surrounded with black for darkness.

4) Add patterns to the mask.

5) Make it look like the hollow mask is just forming on the face.

The other way is a clay mask sculpture, which I've tried once before and it works out really nicely.

Nintendo DS Browser

Yesterday night, I was on dingleit.com with my DS Browser. It was fun to see things on the web with the browser. I went on Youtube and other flash sites and unfortunatly flash doesn't work too well. Sites such as facebook and blogger work though. I was able to do the Pirates Application on facebook with my ds. Good times, good times I think I might do it again tonight. LoL.

Facebook vs Myspace

CLICK ON BANNER!

Join facebook today! It is way better than myspace.

There are so many great applications such as:

1) Pirates Application: Explore the sea and act as a pirate on your computer
2) Food Fight: Throw virtual food at your friends
3) Nes Games: Play the old Genesis and Nintendo games on computer
4) Questions: Ask your friends a question

It is also a lot organized than myspace. It allows you to use html on the Advanced Wall. You can send videos and images to your friends.

But there are myspace fans who think facebook plain out sucks and myspace is better. You see I use both and I like facebook a lot better. Input from one of my friends about this issue: "Facebook displays too much of my personal information and myspace doesn't." My answer: "Well dude there is an option to turn off that so stop complaining."

Okay my little brother thinks myspace is cooler because his friends go on. BUT he doesn't use myspace or facebook. So there is his problem. He plays Neopets which I think is a children's website.

My opinions on Myspace.com:

Its a place for friends but I get friend requests from strangers, whom I ignore because they are not my friends. Also Myspace has a lot of spyware and viruses. Some of the links I use by doing (a href) and stuff don't work. The only thing I like about myspace is my friends on there which would be better if they all moved to facebook, where I know everyone in my friends list. A much safer place than myspace is facebook.

Oh and I've seen myspace change, it is becoming more like facebook except with no applications.

Encouraging People to Dingle It!

I encourage people to visit Dingleit.com. Why? Because you can earn great prizes. Everyday there is a new prize. Here are some of the prizes that they offer:

1) Ipod Nano

2) Spooky Halloween Decorations

3) Gift cards to stores such as Best Buy

4) Gift cards to food places like Jamba Juice

5) Bluetooth USB

6) Wii Supplies

7) And a lot of more exciting things

It is super exciting every day. I like the way they have something different everyday. If you join the site you will have a great time. There is a vodcast on youtube and on the site. So far they've had two vodcasts. Here is there first vodcast from youtube:

It is a really good vodcast. It looks like they used Adobe Premiere or After Effects. Anyways the forums are a great thing also. Posting on the online threads is great. Also I started a Random Topic thread where random things can be posted and it is cool.

Super Old Pictures Blog

All super old pictures from childhood that I had on my laptop.

Today's School

Well today I missed the Dingle Dash on dingleit.com...

It was from 9 - 10 AM and that was exactly how my class schedule was.

Well today, Matt and I were looking for the recital hall on campus for like 15 minutes and we finally found a giant building hidden at the end of nowhere on campus that said recital hall. There were two sessions and I attended the first session while Matt attended both without knowing what time is really was. He might have missed his next class.

So Matt looked like a game nerd today and girls laughed as they sat next to him. I sat at the end corner, where I fell asleep after sketching the face of Dr. Sanchez, the last speaker of the 1st session.

Oh and then I drank some Jones Apple Soda!!!

Dingleit.com

Dingleit.com has been like a daily routine for me. I get to dingle, which is clicking a button everyday that can win me a super good prize. Well I've won once on the site and I like posting in the forums.

Here is a video of what I won from dingleit.com.

Here is a link to the site:Dingleit.com

Beginning of blog

Well I've been using Xanga for a long time and I have just started to use Blogger.

Above is my newest site layout

NBC Thursday

Last night's episodes on NBC was great again! Well new DS games are out to download and I just downloaded Kuropoto Cool Cool Stars. I don't know what it is about I want to try it this weekend! Anyways Dingleit.com is progressing a lot more now and my website is finding a new server that doesn't cost much or hopefully I can get one free and have a personal URL. Anyways Evan Almighty comes out on Tuesday, but I've had the movie for about 2 months already and yeah I've watched it about 500 times already. I wonder how many people are going to buy it.
I have the version from China

Jay Chou Movie

Well I'm ordering the new Jay Chou movie, "Secret". Plus and Minus Productions will be releasing our first film for the new site this week

Busy as a bee

Okay so I was playing Jam Session DS and I made a great song, but I didn't catch in on video. Darn...
Well I did a chat with Josh and it looks like he is doing okay at Long Beach. I am planning to move out to SJSU in about 8 months.
I was supposed to go to Chee's house for a meeting but I have to prepare my China speech to present on Sunday.

Pumpkin Spice

Pumpkin Spice is not a spice of pie its a flavor of coffee for the Autumn season at Starbucks and it is really good. I had it at night during a meeting in Broadway. Well tomorrow is my big presentation and I have to make a 10 minute speech about my trip in China. Also today my parents will be at a wedding all day so I have to watch my brother. Maybe we will play Medal of Honor on the Wii.
Also my English assignment is due Monday and I still need to start on it.

CRC Reunion of the Duelists

Okay about my day today, I went to the cafeteria at CRC this morning and saw Mike and Davis there. Dang, Davis still plays Yu-Gi-Oh! He played since I met him freshman year. Mike, why did you call me to tell me to go to the cafeteria?! I didn't want to watch you guys play yu-gi-oh!!! Well I brought my DS and played Jam Session and Taiko Drum Master DS on expert mode so I wasn't bored. My yu-gi-oh! deck is somewhere... The last time I played was in physics when I was playing with Mike, Vinh and Andrew. It was in Mr. Lum's classroom. Ahh good memories... Well anyways the whole corner in the back was packed with gamers and card players. There were people playing MTG, yugioh and Naruto?! Hey wheres Pokemon?! LoL.
Well I am glad that in this area there were like 5 people with a DS not including me. But I have an R4 with 30 games on it, lol. Well all the people in the other parts of the cafeteria never came near our area because we were playing children's card games and Davis is a real nerd and he still talks to his cards. What a loser! Well his deck is so strong now because he has all these new cards. I have old school cards and I know I can't win. My deck is a modified Blue Eyes White Dragon deck, but I don't know where it is...
----------------------------------------------------
Well my brother got pissed off today because people at school were teasing him. If I were there, I would challenge them to a game of Tetris and trap their mind in a genjutsu, lol. But yeah, when I was in middle school I was made fun of because I was smart, but I didn't care and I made a joke out their sayings as a counterattack. I think my brother takes things to seriously. Usually in that situation now-a-days, I would say "uh huh, oh wait yeah uh huh" but I wouldn't hear a word they said

Jump Ultimate Stars Deck

Well I finally play Jump Ultimate Stars online and won with my deck.
My deck:
Ichigo (Bankai 7 Koma Form)Renji (4 Koma)Killah (5 Koma)Leena Lee (2 Koma Support)Rukia (Support Ichigo)
My strategy with this deck:
With Killah (Hunter x Hunter) is far from the enemy, I use his B + forward attack. He stretches his yo-yo out and hits the enemy. Then the yo-yo comes back dragging the enemy towards you. It only works with light-weight enemies like Yugi or Luffy. Then I use his Y attack which shocks my enemies with a yo-yo and lightning. When their health is low, I use Killah's X attack which makes him move towards the enemy and shocks them with lightning. Plus while he is moving and he is attacked, his attack grows stronger.
With Ichigo, I use Leena Lee (D. Grayman) as a support character. She picks up my character and drags them to the farthest place away from where my character was. Then when I am as far away, if my special gauge is almost empty I use Ichigo's spirit charge, allowing him to get more special gauge power. If an enemy approaches I use Ichigo's Y attack. It is a continuous attack that works perfectly if they are in the air. Then while I do that, I press X + up and uses Ichigo's special that mostly kills in one hit when the enemy's health is in half.
With Renji, I use his B + up attack which is the same as Ichigo (regular form) and then use X + up. Renji's X + up is a continuous attack that stretches out more so it can reach better. It use this attack at the edge of a cliff to give my enemy a ring out.

I also won with my Dragonball Z deck.
Gogetta (Fusion between Goku and Vegetta)Gotenks (5 Koma)Gohan (4 Koma)Gaser (3 Koma)Hercule (support Gogetta)
Okay with Gogetta, I have no strategy. He is just really strong and fast. His X + up attack, the Gogetta Sword, pushes back the enemy really far.
With Gohan, I use his Y + Forward attack continuously. He launches Ki Blasts continuously, while he does this the special gauge also goes up. At the same time I use Gaser (Bobo-Bobobo) and use his gas attack. Its kind of weird how he makes a giant kamehameha out of fart gas, but oh well whatever it is really powerful. If I have no special gauge energy left, I tap Gogetta and Gohan quickly to perform a dream combo, Gohan will kamehameha and Gogetta will use a kamehameha in the air.
With Gotenks, I use his taunt which charges up the special gauge and he has an attack that binds the enemy in one spot for 30 seconds. I use his X + up attack because it takes less special gauge power and it is powerful.
LoL, typing this in my xanga really makes me look geeky... I bet Shan-Ta is probably playing this game right now... he ALWAYS has his DS

I miss China...

So I still miss China, I miss the effect of jet lag, drinking pearl tea, going to the electronic and pearl market and acting more chinese there, eating original chinese food, and visiting places.

So I have no idea who took this photo, but it was in an Indian resturaunt in China and I don't remember what I was doing...

This is a random Chinese guy on the street, dude his hairstyle is CRAZY and he just came out of a haircut place, I wonder how long his hair was before he got it cut.

Facebook

Ok, I'm a level 85 pirate on facebook... I have over 5000 coins, 20 pirate crew members, 3 ship mates and a whole bunch of useless items that I don't know what they are for. OMG! It is so hard getting gold bars on there... but I always get bombs mwahaha!!!My brother wants to join facebook so I have to help him out I guess.Noooo I have a dentist appointment this week! I hate the dentist...
Well a certain someone (could be a girl, could be a guy or could be a shim, lol) who just added a comment to my blog below this one said that I deleted my myspace, well I didn't it is still there. I just don't use it anymore. My name is mostly in Chinese so if you see chinese and sf at the end well thats me!!!

First Remixed Song

Okay today I was supposed to shoot my video "Its Hip Hop" but I got side-tracked when I saw this old dude climb a tree at the park, somehow it was entertaining to watch, lol. Well then I took out my minicam and filmed him and yeah it was cool. I think he was a ninja! A Jounin!

Anyways I don't think I want to do a Chinese hip hop video anymore, I might do my favorite song "Best of Me" by The Starting Line. So I have to plan out a storyboard. Oh and for some reason dingleit.com has been getting new dingles during the night time.

"Yay its me!"

I downloaded some DS games that are way too hard. I went wifi with Marvel Trading Card Game and I lost because I didn't know how to play...
