Wow, this boy is one lucky kid. This young boy, with a brain tumor, was granted one of the best wishes of all time. He got to spend a day with Blizzard Entertainment(the people who made WoW, SC2, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, etc.). He was able to get free items from blizzard, and obtain a level 70 character. Also he designed his own weapon, quest, and character.
In the future, my second passion would be to work or someday own Blizzard Entertainment!!!!
If I were to own it, I would set many co-presidents and make them do all the work, while I sit in my huge office and play WoW/SC/D2/WC3 all day.
Good dream huh?
P.S. Last post GG(good game)

Watch this video because it is really truly amazing. Its the real deal.
This was the famous 1-inch punch done by Bruce Lee, this punch has enough force to send anyone flying, and yet still knock them out cold. Bruce lee was one of the world's best fighters and innovators who ever lived. He was incredibly good at martial arts, which led him to create his own style of martial arts called Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee's philosophy was to know what the opponent was going to do before he even did it. He was truly a great fighter, and has left an great amount of influence in the world of martial arts.

Sophomore year, what a great year it has been.
The classes, the teachers, the new friends, and great times.
This year has truly been a blessing in disguise.
I'm so glad that this year is finally coming to an end. I won't miss it for the first 2 months, but when it's the last month of summer, I know I'll be begging for school to come around the corner again. This year has been such a good year, because I've met so many new friends, and wonderful new teachers(with the exception of a few player hatin' teachers). Also this was the year that made me come to a realization about my future, and what I really should become. It has made me think of going into business and learning more about investing. This year will be dearly missed, and it'll be always a big memory that will never be forgotten.

Since I'm such a game fanatic, I'd like to share some more of my gaming life with you.
Today I started playing one of the best games created by man. And that game is POKEMON(accent on the e). Yes yes, it might sound dumb, but it's one of the classics. The most addicting RPG game invented like 12 years ago. It has addicting properties similar to WoW(world of warcraft) and is a threat to completely consuming your life. I am playing Pokemon(accent on the e!) as I type this blog. It might take up the rest of my weekend, and cut into my studying time, because I just leveled my Charmeleon into a Charizard!!!!!!
I'll keep updating on my current game play in Pokemon(accent on the e!!!!!), so stay tuned.

One of the greatest accomplishments in my life, which happened not too long ago was passing my driver's license test. Technically I can't get my license till July, but still it's one of the most accomplishing days I've had in awhile. That day was also funny, because the person before me pretty much ran over the curb while doing a down hill park, and still passed. Also I nipped the garbage can on the street on my uphill park and still passed. And the guy after me like rammed into the parking curb when parking, and still passed. What a great teacher right? Haha good day. I'm still happy though because I beat both of the peoples scores. Now I just have to wait till July comes rolling by to get my license, and THEN I'll be able to add it as one of my most accomplished days list. :)

On May 19th, 2007, Seoul, South Korea, Blizzard Entertainment announced their next sequel to the award winning RTS(real time strategy) game. This is defiantly one of the greatest days in my life, hahaha. The next greatest day of my life will be the day SC2 will be released onto the gaming market. SC2 features new units, abilities, more balanced races, and most important better gaming graphics. When this game comes out, it should be the biggest thing in South Korea, since people their play SC1 as a profession. Boxer, Asia's best SC player recently won a tournament, and won over 100,000$, and this was broad casted on the Starcraft channel in South Korea(yes there really is a channel specifically designated for Starcraft). Anyway my dream would be to become as great as Boxer, and go pro(good dream right?)

Last Wednesday was the graduation ceremony, and it was extremely long and boring.
We had to arrive early, at approximately 6:30, because we wanted a good parking spot. When we went to stand in line, the line curved all the way around the stadium and seemed like it would be an eternity before we were let in.
When the ceremony started, there was a lot random talking by the principal, student class counsel people, superintendent(I think), and valedictorian.
The one surprise of the night was finding out my neighbor was actually a genius. He was ranked top 5%, was in national honors society, many honors programs, scored a perfect 36 on the ACT, got into Northwesterns medical program, and many other amazing acomplishments. I've known him for 10+ years, and all this time I never knew he was a genius. Wow, good stuff. Also in case you were wondering, the valedictorian was Hanjay Wang.
Finally at around 10:30, I got to leave and go home and wake up the next day for school, while my brother got to stay home and sleep. What a long boring night.

This entry will be about the books we have read in Written this year.
Romeo & Juliet
I thought this book was intensely hard to read and comprehend. The language was super confusing, and the storyline was boring since we already knew what happens in the end. Overall, I think that R&J was most boring book I've ever read. Thank god it's over.
A Separate Peace
In this book, I never really understood the purpose of the book, or why we actually read it. But I do appreciate the book because of its good writing style. It had so many places with good detail, and word choice that I was in awe. In general, it was a good book to read for written class, but not so good to read in your free time(not like I do read in my free time).

Well, yesterday I went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and I have to say it was pretty good.
Despite the fact that I saw the first one like ages ago, I didn't see the second one at all, and the third one made no sense to me, overall it was a good movie.
But that night, getting tickets was a hassle. We didn't preorder any tickets and we ran around to 3 different theaters before we bought some. My mom was getting mad because she had no clue where I was going, and how bad we plan stuff.
Anyways, I would recommend seeing this movie because the action, and overall idea of the movie was intensely good. Also some parts included many funny sketches and scenes played out brilliantly by Johnny Depp.

SWEET!
I was looking at new movies that were to be released some time in the summer, and I came upon, what should be, the best movie of the summer!
And that movie is..
*drum roll*
RUSH HOUR 3!!!! oh yeah, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker at it again! Quite possibly the best duo ever.
I've been waiting for this movie to come out ever since I finished watching Rush Hour 1, and 2 for the 50th time.
Yes it is that good.
PRE-ORDER the tickets for August 10th, it's gonna be off da shizzie.

Today was a rough day, my brother and I spent over 5 hours detailing his car (and I didn't get anything for doing it!!!).
Here's what we did:
Washed dirt off, soaped, Mr. clean auto-dryed it
Next step was to put some paint cleaner , to fill-in some light scratches and prepare it for the next step, polishing. And wiped it off.
We had to buff the car with polish to take out heavier scratches and prepare it for waxing, then wipe it off.
Put thin wax coat on, let it dry and wiped it off.
That probably doesn't seem like it would take 5 hours, but we had some breaks in between. The most time consuming and tiring part was wiping the whole car like 3 times.
And the day before we spent 2 hours trying to reinstall his exhaust header, after taking out the stock exhaust manifold. The darn thing wouldn't go in so we had to loosen like 15 parts and retighten like 2 times.
Overall, it was a tiring 2 days, and now I have to goto Lifetime, then I finally get to rest.
YESSSSS rest I think im going to sleep 12 hours atleast 3 days this week.

I spent over 5 hours this weekend trying to fix my computer, and it's making me really mad.
After I went out to the Tiger Direct and bought my HDD and hooked it up, thinking that my HDD was the problem, the exact same problem occurs. When I finish formatting my HDD(NTFS), it doesn't copy the Windows files correctly to the HDD and I have to think of a new idea on what's causing this problem. So far i've ruled out:
Old HDD with bad sectors isnt problem
New HDD isnt problem because it writes fine and it's brand new
CD-ROM drive, it can run/read other disks when swapped to different computer
Motherboard BIOS because it gives power and runs correctly, and i reset my BIOS
Windows XP CD, because it has no scratches and because i tried using 3 diff. CDs
So now, what's left is 1 stick of RAM is broken, and the Serial ATA cables arn't working right.
If those two things won't fix the problem, i'm all out of ideas. I hope it works because i've had it not working for many many weeks now.
I'll keep updated, peace.

I just recently went to an amazing Korean BBQ restaurant called Woori Village.

Woori Village
Korean, Asian
9870 Milwaukee Ave., Des plaines
60016
Phone 847-299-2555
Fax 847-299-2623

There are two options you can choose from when you enter the restaurant. You can either choose the buffet, where you get 2 unlimited meats of your choice and unlimited sides (kimchi, Root Salad, Steamed or Fried Eggplant, etc.), or you can choose the regular dine-in, where you order and you get served. If you have more than 5 people it would be worth it to go for the buffet, even though it is expensive.
When I went with my family, we had the buffet and ordered Pul-Kogi (korean bbq beef), and another pork of some sort, but I forgot the name.
We had to cook it ourselves, but is worth it because the flavor is exquisite. The second the beef touches your taste buds, it is packed with an explosive amount of flavoring that stays with you even after you are done eating.
Also if you like spicy food, Korean BBQ is perfect for you because nearly everything has some sort of spice/pepper in it.
So if your stuck at home eating the same thing over and over again and can't think of a good place to eat, you need to go and try this place.

Finally I went out go buy a hard drive because my old one had bad sectors and wasn't writable anymore. So I went to tiger direct again(they have the best prices) and bought myself a 80 gig hard drive for only 45 bucks. Now this should solve my problem I've been having where my windows XP CD won't copy files over to my hard drive. But I just haven't gotten to it yet. Hopefully I'll get to doing that next weekend. Until then, I'll be busy playing counter-strike, and warcraft. Also I just found my starcraft CD(best real time strategy game ever) and decided to play a couple games, and now I'm hooked. Man! I got to stop playing games haha.

Finally after like 3 weeks of waiting, I went out and got the hard drive enclosure from the Tiger Direct warehouse and hooked it up to my internal hard drive. It worked! I was able to recover all the data that was still on my HDD, and managed to not lose any of my personal info. that was stored on it. I found out what was wrong with it. It must have been after I defragmented the System files, which store all your operating system files, the program must have corrupted some of the files. That's why it wasn't booting. Oh well, hopefully the HDD doesn't have bad sectors so I can just install Windows without any trouble.
Oh one more thing, I recently started playing Warcraft 3 and I can't stop playing it. It's so sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. Anyone who plays message me on AIM, bLkDrAgOn201.
By the way, check this out, I find it hilarious

Yo, what's up.
Today I'd like to share one of my favorite artists.
His name is Jin, he is the first chinese rapper in the U.S. and he's the bomb.
I like him because he raps about the true stuff about chinese hardships, and chinese culture.
He also has good R&B tracks.
He recently released his second album, ABC(American Born Chinese), everyone should go out and get that CD cause it's tight. But there is one down to the CD, it's all in Cantonese. But don't let you stop you from getting his other CD, The Rest is History, which isn't all Chinese.
One more thing before I log off, check out Kenny Muhammad here
http://youtube.com/watch?v=55C0RirU3yA
He's the one who invented the Wind technique when beatboxing, and he's one of the best beatboxers around.
Much love, peace.

Since we were required to write a journal relating to A Separate Peace, I decided to write about a time when i was jealous of one of my friends.

I use to be jealous of my best friend. When i was in junior high. I was jealous that my friend had it all. He had the grades, athletic ability, the girlfriend, and everyone liked him. I used to always secretly compete with him by studying more and getting better grades than him. But up until the point when he moved away, i didn't realize how good of a friend he really was to me. He always had my back and never excluded me in any of his events. But now I'm glad I have such a good friend and that we still talk after he moved away.

So this weekend was not a great weekend for me.
The worst thing happened to my computer. It wouldn't boot.
After I defragmented my hard drive using perfectdisk, instead of windows defragment tool, the computer wouldn't boot. I'm pretty sure that my OS was damaged or files have not been moved properly. I mean c'mon a defrag program isn't suppose to mess up your computer. The program is suppose to make your hard drive more efficient by moving files in one compact space instead of all being spread out.
I had all my passwords and user names saved on the HDD without backing any of the info. up. So im pretty much screwed. UNLESS! I go buy a HDD enclosure and plug it up to my other computer to retrieve all the data that still is there.
Well I hope people can learn a lesson, back up your data before you do anything special with your computer.

Hello world. I have come to share the great news that i OWN, but I'll tell u about that later.
Today was a good day, because i had a field trip and missed half my classes.
We went to the Ford dealership for driver's education.
We were suppose to use these goggles that simulate drunk driving and drive around with them on in golf carts, but it never happened because of the crummy weather. I mean c'mon it's APRIL and it's still snowing?!@#!?@#?!@?#!?@
BUT, we did use the goggles and tried walking in a straight line. Most people failed horribly, including me. There was this one girl that was pretty suspicious because she just dominated all the tests the guys there gave her. I wonder what made her so good at that drunk simulation......
Anyways, after school I went home and slept. Then, I woke up an hour later, did my homework, and own some nooblets.

^This was all i kept seeing(this is the symbol to show u headshot someone in counter-strike).
I saw that 11 times in a row

Well I have to go eat some rice, peace out.

1st post!

Wow this is some cool stuff. I find this a pretty sweet assignment, but I have no clue what to write about. Why not just show you some cool stuff. Check out our sweet culture show performance! http://youtube.com/watch?v=-G8FStaJ_7I
