| Things are becoming more concrete to my mind...
All the pieces make sense.
I have taken a sip from the draught of knowledge and it steeps in my mind...
With driving, I become absorbed to the world outside, shutting out the chattering of my heart.

| Many say that life sucks...
Life is a poem...
It begins with a short entry into this world through birth.
Then the epic lyrics of an oddssey forms the most of life.
Then there is the dirge of death.

| This weekend has been an interesting one...
Friday, hung out with my little sister to kinda help her get over the blues of her break-up. She was in better spirits by the time we left. We had to leave early as adx's family had to give us some stuff. Stuff acquired: "Chinese hash browns" (my nickname for them) and glutenous rice cakes.
Saturday was spent primarily with her family. Brought over my Bit Char-G and Microsizer cars over and raced around. Turned out that her family bought a World Poker Tournament table as their new dinner/card table. It was pretty slick, came with rule book, card decks, and poker chips. The table top is reversable too, for crying out loud! The food was all grilled on the grill by adx's father and it rocked. Watched Lilo and Stitch on ABC with her family and it really is a warm movie. The tail end of the night was spent playing Gran Turismo 2 with her sister and one of her younger cousins. Let's leave it at a pair of lightly tuned RX-7's were under my possession by end of the night.
Sunday, we went to have Dim Sum with her family at roughly 11pm at Arc en Ciel down in Garland/Dallas. The food and experience was perfect as always. Her mother was afraid that I was either starving myself or putting myself on a "needless" diet. So her family did their best pushing food on to me. It was a good meal at that. After the food, her family wanted to move the poker/dinner table to the dining area and give us their old table. Her sister was terribly funny as she kept saying "I want to keep the 24 inch extension!!!" but her wish would be overruled with the fact that it would be pointless. So her father, myself and herself would take a trip down to our home and move the table in. During the move in, a golf ball would hit my up-stairs neighbor's window. He would be pretty ticked and when we left, he was trying to get the attention of the golfer responsible for the breakage. Her father would be curious about my car, he saw it and thought it was nice by a glance. He would just see how good my knowledge on sterile compounding was and in 2 weeks, I begin training with him on needles, syringes and vials. I would end up dragged into a game of Texas Hold 'Em Poker by her mother and well... that served to be interesting. After all that, adx wanted to head down to Hobbytown USA to check out Microsizer goods and get some track gear. We got 2 race course barrier pack and then just went home to clean house, eat dinner and sleep.
Her family seems to be opening up to me slowly, I just have 1 month before her extended family from Hong Kong visits to pick up more vocabulary and have a better time understanding of their words. | | |

| Time for a slight update on my life for those who were tuned in to it before I decided to sign off for an unspecified amount of time.
I moved out from my parent's residence, mainly from some disputing and lots of other reasons... At first, we were at each other's throats constantly just screaming and forcing each other away from our lives. I eventually learned that I cannot simply erase the past from myself, and my mother learned the same as well. We have reconciled our differences and speak quite often to update each other about how our lives are going.
My little cousin Sol, the guy is finally learning the driving arts. The best part, he likes sports cars! Though he's more biased towards getting a new one (to avoid the insanity of replacing broken stuff), but that is respectable none the less. The car he aims to drive is a Mazda RX-8, though his father has found resonable love for the car as well. He's gotten through week one of driver's ed, it'll be fun to see what he will be driving though.
Education... It's something I have dearly missed... I took one semester off to just re-evaluate myself as a pre-pharmacy student. I wanted to see how serious of a man I was when it came down to the study of formulating medicines. March 19th proved that well, I passed my Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam with a decient margin. I am now a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT for short) seeking to expand even further... How? To injectable medicines! Yes, things from IV bags, intramuscular/intrathecal syringes, subcutaneous syringes, piggyback IV's, and elastomeric home-pumps. I want to be skilled in these medicines to aid in my study of pharmacy. I intend to be the best pharmacist I can... For the sake of my past grandfather, I hope to make him proud as he smiles from heaven!
Cars, oh what a touchy subject... Let's see... It's a 2 part story.
The first piece is over my cars.The Integra has been itself. Minor maintenance needed, still got that ugly dent that abhors itself to me constantly. It's ok to drive, but it no longer excites me like how it use to 4 years ago. I would like to donate it back to my parents or sell it... Though, if I am in a bad spot, I may insure it and make it my daily. I got a 1987 RX-7 base model with my own cold hard cash!!! No, it is by no means pretty to the eye, hell to most, it is a fucking eye sore. Though to me, it is the dream car that I have chased since I was a young lad (circa 1989). I intend to get it road worthy and begin my mastery of truly spirited driving. I can successfully say I have given up front wheel drive for much more that is out there. There is a whole lot out there other than the tiny pond that I started out in that was Honda/Acura.
The second piece is over my opening up to far more cars out there. The automotive world is a huge ocean of cars! I have tested and driven many cars, some have been great, some have fell lower than I had expected. It gave me insight on life, I do need a far newer and more road worthy car. I have found the car I want and yes, it is a rear-wheel drive. The IS300 sedan. It looks sharp, drives great, and the watch-like gauge cluster was quite a joy to read out! It has the right amount of comfort and not a dime too much of tackiness. I will probably look more seriously into buying one possibly by next year.
To those who have missed me on Xanga (Christina and Sarah probably), you all gotta make some effort to contact my sorry tail! I mean, I have a cell phone now and shit... Though I don't have the net...
This concludes part one over the new trestises in my life. | | |
