Foam bullets

Recently, parts of our hall have been having Nerf wars. I bought a gun just so I could get some of the action and it's pretty sick. These war events have been happening periodically throughout the week and it takes place on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. I didn't take part in the war that happened today, but I did take pictures.

Almost all of the guns used in the war are modded, meaning they've been altered in order to increase the range, firepower, and speed of the bullet. The person who does all the modding is Brandon, the guy with the red gun in the picture above.

Nerf battles are pretty chaotic: people running all around the floors shooting bullets and leaving their parts everywhere.

The battles are so chaotic, people passing by have to resort to taking cover in weird and creative ways.

Usually the end of the war results in 10-20 minutes of picking up darts and returning them to people and adjusting parts of guns and reloading. Then it's back to the battlefield.

...For the most part.

Night shooting practice

Going out with the hallmates is the business.

It's nice just to be able to go, "Hey I feel like going out; wanna come with?" And it just happens.

I usually forget to bring my camera to places.

Like one time I went out during sunset. It was really pretty and I was like, "DANG, I wish I brought my camera." So with no regrets, I brought it with me this time. Just to practice shooting at night.

We wandered around the University Center in search of some food. I've been there a couple of times, but this time I got a good look at the place. Lots of places to stop and eat things, like Yogurtland, and boba, and Japanese food, and stuff like that.

We ended up going to a place that sells Japanese style food.

It was pretty filling. I don't know what else to say.

I got some more night shot practice in afterwards, and I kind of like these pictures.

Haha, I called Jay today, to ask about flash properties for my camera, just in case I wanted to do the fancy stuff Jay and Dennis do with their pictures. Talking to him made me miss home even more. I do like it here in Irvine, but hearing Jay and everyone in the background almost brought me to tears. Of course, it's silly, because it's not like I'm here forever. It's probably that I'm afraid I'm going to be farther apart from them. That is something that I will try my hardest to prevent.

I'm coming home soon.

RING RING

So just now, I heard this RING RING sound outside my room. I live on the 2nd story. So I looked out the window and I see Alvin riding a beach cruiser bike with a bell making a RING RING noise. Young Min woke up and he was like, "...Dude...wtf was that?" Alvin was just riding around outside leisurely RING RINGing all over the place.

Later, I heard Alvin and Tim and Kelly come up the stairs. I looked over to the door and I see Tim riding the bike down the hallway RING RINGing. He got all the way to the other suite on the bike.

Then on the way back, Alvin got a ride. RING RING. It's so funny to have people like this in our hall; it just makes it more fun to live in.

And Young Min couldn't get back to sleep. No matter how hard he tried.

I love Snowbourn.

Only a week.

I think this is the first time I've ever experienced a time warp. Everything this week seemed to go by really slowly, but at the same time, it was faster than ever. It was packed full of new experiences, new places, and new people.

Lots of cool little thingies happened, and I haven't really been taking pictures recently, but I took a whole lot of picture in the first few days.

During this past week, I met so many people, mostly from the dorm. Everyone's really nice and awesome and it makes me happy to stay with a bunch of cool people.

Classes are pretty cool too. I think they're interesting, cuz they're like taken straight out of a movie. I'll try to post more often.

First post in a while

I haven't gotten a good chance to get some work done on this page, but oh well.

I got a new camera and here are some test shots I took.

Everyone says photography is just trial and error, and eventually you'll start to get better results.

I hope so.

Anyway, school starts for me soon. I hope it's pretty kickbutt. I'm looking forward to it. I will miss everyone in Cerritos and even those moving out of Cerritos to their respective schools. I know I haven't gotten to hang out with a whole lot of people during the summer, and if that's you, I hope you accept my apology.

I'll probably come home not too often, but often enough. If that makes any sense.

And most importantly, I'll try to take pictures of my college life and post them up here.

Dragonauts eat as one

Had practice today and yesterday. These weekend practices are killing my arms but it's all good because RACE DAY is coming up. Or rather, I should say...race dayS. Dragonauts is an awesome team. Speaking of which, last Friday we had like some sort of potluck at our captain's house which was really cool.


Don't you hate being the first one? Well, more people came soon afterwards. The rule for this potluck was: if you don't bring food, you don't eat. So the food stacked up pretty quickly.


And then even more people showed up. When a majority of the expected people came, we just started eating. Everyone's food was awesome. Or at least, everyone's that I tried; but I'm sure everyone's food kicked ass. Or...kicked...mouth.

Lotsa eating and right after was a really chillax awesome time.

LOL @ JEFF


LOL @ JEFF AGAIN


LOL @ JEFF FOR A THIRD TIME

It was really fun just talking with everyone and drinking Co Ca Co La.

All of the sudden I see three people doing this.




Craig, Eric, and Taylor are all some kind of beast material to make their veins go 3D and shit LOL. Eric's pose kind of looks like he's doing Chidori.

For a while, Clara took over my camera duties and took some more pictures. Here are some random ones.






Then for a while, we huddled around a laptop looking up viral videos including: double rainbow, I love lasagna, KFC things, and the worst DJ ever.


While all this was going on, inside, people were playing games. At first it was SMG and then GH3, but then switched to MW2 later. I love me some guns.




JULY 31 - AUGUST 1. TIME TO GET BACK THAT POPSICLE.

Summer is indeed continuous

Out of nowhere, we decide to go to Arcade Infinity and Yes Plaza.





Joanne looks like a sniper here.

I kind of like this picture.

It was me, Jeremy, Josh, Joanne, and Michael. On a journey. Of seckshual proportions. Usually, we go to Infinity first, then we go to the Yes Plaza.

The main thing we do at Yes Plaza is go to some part of the area where they have a jackload of crane machine games. Yeah, you're probably familiar with those. The things that look insanely hard to get anything out of because all you are is an x and a y axis with 3 metal fingers.


So Joanne was pretty set on making some big wins in this area. She brought a shizload of quarters.

In total we got...1 thing. It was a Domo cellphone holder. In one of the pictures above. They also had these basketball things that Jeremy was playing.

LOL at this machine.

This has to be one of the most deceiving things I've ever seen. It's a ball. How hard could it be to pick up a ball, right? Wrong. It'd be easier to go out to the savanna with meat strapped to your body and try to hug a lion. I remember last time Michael spent like 20 bucks on this thing.

4 out of 5 of us wanted to get our Street Fighter fix. So we went...to...

The everlasting location of games. I mean, Arcade Infinity.


It was actually pretty fun today. I got to test out my El Fuerte on some dude on the Street Fighter 4 machine. Then the Super Street Fighter 4 machines got turned on and WE got turned on. Kinda fought each other at first but then other people came and raped us. Which is what we wanted. Or at least what I wanted.

I kinda have a love/hate relationship with Street Fighter. Some compare it to chess as a strategic thinking game. I have 2 problems with this analogy. (1) Chess is not real time. (2) In chess, if you have a plan, you can do it most of the time. In Street Fighter, if you have a plan, you have to have very specific conditions met and also need to have your execution on point. So in a way, Street Fighter is an even GREATER thinking game than chess in that it stimulates your mind in a plethora of areas. Might just stick to TvC for a while.

Left after a few hours of fun fun gaming. I'm kinda sad that the arcade is close to closing down. We gotta save the arcades.

Michael dropped me off at Dragonauts practice.

We had to do the 7 animals today. It was hell. Ask me about it later.

I seem to injure myself every time I go to a practice. Oh well...race days are coming up soon; I'm hyped up.

This haiku is cool.
Not only is it super,
It's also duper.
