life…

Posted in Uncategorized on February 28, 2008 by martinitram

There are just so many things i want to talk about now, but i just can’t seem to get the idea’s out into this blog… I just can’t put my ideas into words… They are more like feelings, and cannot be learned through talking, but by feeling them… I guess that the closest thing i can come up with now is that: Life is too complicated now, and I’m so unprepared…

Now that i actually thought about it, complicated isn’t the correct word to describe my feelings. It should be more like… ummm… Unbearable… Yeah, that may be the correct term to describe my feelings. Today’s society is just too complex for me to WANT to handle. I am a simple person and want to live a simple happy life. But society is making life so damned complex right now, that i just can’t seem to handle it all right now. Poverty, disease, and suffering seem to constantly cross my path and mind, and when it does, i see all the people who could be experiencing such misfortunes and then compare it with my life, and i feel like shit. My ideal, or at least i’d like my morals to be, would be based on “the survival of the fittest”, or in other words, let the weak fend for themselves, because they are just like anyone else, successful, or not; they decide what their future will be, and if they are not able to, life is never fair.

But alas, i cannot bring myself to this kind of thinking because, though many of you may think otherwise, i am a very sympathetic and kind person at heart, and i cannot truly be that ruthless and heartless. This sudden change of heart is just so random and i simply feel like shit afterwards…

Nowadays, i constantly reflect on my past, present situation, and future dreams. when i think of my past, i realize how lazy and careless i have been, and when i reflect on my life now, i realize that that attitude has followed me growing up. When i think of my dreams, i realize that i may be nearly impossible with my current work habits and etc.

Sometimes life seems so pointless and i think it would be better if i just killed myself and be reincarnated into someone else. But other times, life is just too fun to give up.

Sometimes when i ponder about these things, i feel so lost and vary depressed…

Even my feelings now betray me and what i previously believed in, leaving me utterly confused at times…

Life is just too weird… Perhaps its just a phase in a teenager’s life… I’d confident however, that i can figure it all out before i kill myself XD.

Awesome-ness!

Last week was one of the funnest weeks in my entire life! I got so much done within that time period, not academically of course  XD

I got my drivers license, an awesome car, and got to hang out with my friends quite a lot during the break.

First, my car… It is AWESOME! its not new of course, it was used. Well, used is too good to describe its previous state…  Okay. It was wrecked by its incompetent previous owner, then my dad’s friend bought it, and sold it for a cheap price.  Anyways, it’s a Honda Accord V6. And it is a stick shift. In other words, its a manual transmission. Learning stick shift is VERY confusing. You need full operation of both your hands, and both legs to drive one. The good things about a manual is that it has a much faster engine and it is much more fuel efficient, and I’m going to need to save money for all the strip joi… errrrrr i mean, Starbucks that i can now that i can drive freely.    =D

Hanging out with friends is very fun. As i mentioned in my last blog entry, i said i was going to go to the great mall with some friends. And I did! Eddie, Edwin, Bao, Saurav, Van, and Nam came, and we just walked around the mall from 10 to lunch, where we just ate till we burst. After that, i went on a quest to buy shampoo. But not any kind of shampoo, a kind of shampoo with menthol in it just to give my head a tingly sensation when used. Haha, most of my friends probably thought for a second that i was gay because i was walking in and out of beauty shops asking for shampoo…

Anyways, after i got my shampoo,  we sat down and played mafia for a couple hours, and then just talked for a couple more hours until 6, where we ate a Fresh Choice, which is a healthy buffet place.  Dinner at fresh choice was awesome, one of the best nights of my life. We all ate, sitting together, talking and joking around, until we all just started bursting out laughing for no apparent reason. At that point, most of our bellies were about to burst, so you can probably imagine the pain we went through laughing… After giggling like retards, Saurav decides to chug a couple soda’s even with a full stomach, and we all just kept interupting him; Caressing his neck, fondling his leg, everything to make him laugh while drinking his precious soda. By the time that was over, saurav just collapsed and could barely walk…

Like i said, an awesome day.

Well, on saturday, my parents decided to go to Reno, and i was pondering my mind, “WHY????? I WAS PLANNING TO DO MY HOMEWORK THAT I PROCRASTINATED UNTIL THE WEEKIND ON THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!”

So on to Reno we went. Saturday, we embarked around 1 and was plannign to arrive at 6, but there was a snow storm, and a hell of a lot of traffic, so we got there at 10. We just slept at our hotel that night, and my dad stayed up till 4 gambling. The next morning, we ate at an awesome place called “Pho 777″ and went to go play in some snow, but we couldnt because about halfway to the place, the snowstorm got worse and my dad accidentally hit a chunk of snow. That was when he said, “Screw this, we’re going home”, well not those exact words, but you get my point.

The time then was about 11:30, and the traffic was just horrible, We were planning to get home at 3 or 4, but traffic because of the snowstorm was so bad that we got home at 10PM on sunday, and i had lots of homework to do…

Haha

Break was WAYYYY too short though…  what i would do for just another week…

Anyways, got a lot of APCS homework to do, and i have been screwing it for this blog.  Good bye!!!!!

Well, It’s been a long time since i made a blog post, so i should make one right now before i further delay it…

This week has been and will also be an eventful week.

Last week, valentines day passed by, and i was unaware of it’s existence until that morning when my mom reminded me. >.< So i didn’t get to order roses for my friends like i planned. *notice how i didn’t mention the names of my “friends”* =D

Saturday soon came, and i went to community service! I, for those pricks who don’t know, i work as a teacher for citizenship at the tully library, which is pretty fun because the people who pass the citizenship test sometimes come back and bring us food!!!!!! This time, a lot of people passed, so they bought us all pizza! The only bad thing about that day, was that someone failed the test, which according to Kim Jong-Il, i mean Eddie, our supreme God-Emperor, ruined our 100% passing rate. NOOO!!!!!

So after that, Sunday came and i went to Bao’s house to view Van and Vikki practice piano, but we ended up just playing games, waiting for vikki, who never showed. But other than that, we had fun. We played games till around 5, which afterwards, we started to play monopoly. I PWNED both Van and Bao. It got to the point where i owned the richest and poorest half of the board, and every lot had a hotel or at least 3 houses, i owned all the railroads, and they became allies, which by the way, is illegal in the game, and they still lost. The game finally ended when Bao, who had loaned Van money to pay me off, was broke, and landed on my boardwalk with 3 houses. after seeing that, he just gave up and ended the game. Ahh, good times. Communism owned democracy yet again. XD

Ah, today. I went to eat with my uncle and cousins to this buffet, but we ended up eating somewhere else because it was too expensive. Out uncle suggested TK noodle… but my grandma was like:”No! That’s too cheap! Lets eat at flourishing garden!”. Flourishing garden is a nice dim sum place, and its also pretty good! So we are there, and Teresa, out of anger at her dad for depriving her of a bufft, forces me to order as much food as i possibly can just to piss off her dad…

Tomorrow, i have an interview for a job, andthe day after that, i go to the great mall with my friends…

I got lazy halfway through, so i’m ending this now…

lol

TET!

Posted in Uncategorized on February 10, 2008 by martinitram

Yes, TET, the most awesomest holiday ever created!  I realize that i am a couple days late on writing this post, but screw you!

I just celebrated it today! Well… To be more exact, yesterday. It is now 12:30, and i am very tired, but i choose not to sleep. The reason we had it late was, i guess, because my uncle from LA could only come on friday, but another reason could be that we all wanted to party during the week-end for endless fun!

So anyways, Saturday morning, i woke up, and played video games for about 8 hours, bathed, got dressed, and went to my cousin’s house(teresa)for the party. We played ate, and then played mafia. At that time, it was about 8′ish.

Soon, we got our money! Me and my cousins, and sister just went around the living room, wishing our aunts, uncles, grandma, and parents good fortune, and in return, we got money. After this, the fun really started to begin!

My dad and 2 uncles sat around a dining table, and i joined them. One of them pulled out a deck of cards for blackjack while the others pulled out their wallets. I followed their example, and soon enough, many more joined us. I had a total of about $235 with me when we started playing, and my luck was like a crap box of chocolateS(if you don’t get it, see below). I had lost a total of 60 dollars when i became dealer because my uncles just took advantage of me T_T. But later, i redeemed myself! I won back 50 dollars from various uncles and aunts. However, i could not help but feel sorry for one of my uncles, who had to be dealer for the last game of the night/morning. Everyone went all out on the betting, and guess what! My uncle busted! My dad and other uncle had each bet 30 dollars, me 10, and everyone else about 5. So in total, he probably lost about 100 dollars in ONE TURN! We ended this at 12:15, when my aunt kept nagging to her husband to go home.

And here i am now! Tired and regretting taking the time to write this blog when i could have been doing homework downloading pr()n…  XD

Anyways, good night to you all!

Life

Posted in Uncategorized on February 9, 2008 by martinitram

Life is like a box of chocolates: You never know what you are going to get, whether is the crappy kind filled with coconuts and despair, or the piece filled with caramel, joy, and happiness, or the chocolate covered rock of death. The combination are endless!

Chocolate is usually sweet, delicious, and creamy to perfection, it can also be bitter, hard, and filled with crap… i mean nuts. Just as life.

Life can be enjoyable at times, but it is usually a bitch. It depends on one’s choices that determines whether or not they get the sweet chocolate of happiness and joy, or the crap chocolate of shit and despair. And just like a box of chocolates, the manufacturers are pricks, such that they fill 90% of the box with crap candy, and 10% with the good stuff. But there are boxes where its 90-100% good stuff, but those are very rare to come upon, and when i do, i think to myself,”Why am i eating shitty M&M’s when the other prick has swiss chocolate chocolate imported all the way from Germany????”

“Life’s a bitch, and I’m her pimp”

Well now, today’s post will be different from my other blogs, mainly because it is a story. But before tell you this tale of epic-ness, let me explain why I’m doing this:

Today, at school, my friend, Bao, wrote a story for his english class in which India and Pakistan go to war, and somehow, the US gets drawn into the fray. North Korea, a country that Bao has great disdain for, also joins the fight along with some other countries Bao hates(probably all others besides the US =P)

He is not done with it yet, but it is safe to assume that he will make the US win because he loves the US government to the point of ignorance which he himself has admitted. So after reading this, my other friend, Saurav became disappointed in Bao because India was in the war, and Saurav is also Indian. So then Saurav said that he would write a story also, which then inspired me to make my own story. So now, I will be writing a story similar to Bao that depicts the US losing a war, with one objective:

To piss the fuck off of Bao. =P

And by the way, although the story shows otherwise, i really do like this country and do not wish it that much harm. =P

Enjoy the story!

It was 2012, and war on Earth was rampant. Wars never seemed to stop. After conquering the Middle East and draining it of it’s resources, the US, led by some white guy, abandoned it, leaving it to fend for themselves with nothing except a disfunctional government. Europe was in an economic crisis after recovering from a genocidal plague that wiped out 3/4th of it’s population. Canada had been conquered by the US, and nearly every country in South America was going through a violent and bloody revolution. Africa was ravaged by rebels and corrupt political leaders. Asian countries too had underwent a transformation, which defiled the democratic system and corrupted it into a blend of communism and socialism. However, the US were faring well enough on their own. They isolated themselves in order to keep out the plagued Europeans and vengeful Middle Easterners.

Global trade had stopped, which destroyed the economies of many Asian countries. China was affected the most, and its economy completely collapsed, leading to a depression unparalleled to any other in history. The US had enough to produce for itself, but nobody else. Nor did they want to over-produce for other countries in need because of a precious lesson learned after World War I.

In short, the world was in chaos. Until one day, the US congress pressed the president to open up to trade and aid the foreign economy. This was a blessing to many countries which gladly accepted the American help, unaware of the price they had yet to pay for this aide…

10 years later

The world is not what it once has been. The US had helped countless countries and even more numerous lives. The people are thankful to the US and praise them. Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, after much work and perseverance, were on their way to a steady recovery to the point where they no longer need the US’s help. Africa, however, was left alone, and still was going through many political changes and wars. Many have contempt for the US for letting them be, but refused to say anything because of the influence the US had on them and their countries.

20 years later

The US is in war yet again, this time, with the world. After helping rebuild other countries, the US began to force other countries to repay them for the money and aide which the US had sent them. The interest rates were ridiculously high and unreasonable. But there was nothing to do besides repay their saviors, or be crushed by their might.

5 years later

By this point in time, the view of the US by foreign nations have greatly decreased. The US now was the symbol of trickery and destruction. The US had destroyed several countries who had refused to repay their debt and attempted to reform the government.

The world was in turmoil again. Once-great nations were reduced to nothing. Their economies had yet again collapsed by the greed of the US. Hopes of reforming were now non-existant.

One year, Europe had formed an alliance in order to negotiate their debt, but their benefactors would not listen. They have had enough. the alliance, named the ELA – European Liberation Alliance, declated war on the US. They were soon joined by most other countries in debt. And still, the US did nothing to stop this.

10 years later

The year 2057 and the ELA was on the verge of victory. They had captured Canada, Mexico, and the West Coast. Soldiers were moving in from all sides toward the capitol. The new president did nothing but sit at his desk reflecting the history of his once-great country. Slowly, the anticipated alarms sounded and gunfire rang through the air. It was their last stand. The US was on the defending side. They had pulled back their best troops and equipment. They had been waiting for the attack for days now, and were confident that they could win. They had set up impenetrable anti-air defenses, vast fields of mines, a surplus of supplies, and an army of 100,000 soldiers with another 50,000 garrisoned for later disposal. They were ready for the battle yet to come.

Out of the blue, the anti-air guns blasted to life, firing countless missiles in the air, aiming to destroy enemy bombers close by. seconds passed with silence from the troops until countless magnificent explosions wee heard in the distance. The soldiers rejoiced, not knowing the size of the enemy forces. But the premature celebration was disrupted by the sight of hundreds of bombers flying high over the city only to be shot down by friendly fighters and the nati-air defenses. At the same time, hundreds of artillery tanks were stationed outside the capitol and awaiting orders to fire, and 200,000 soldiers awaiting the order to storm in the city and capture it. All the while, 5 ICBM’s were on its way to the capitol, carrying a massive payload of chemical and nuclear warheads.

The head of the ELA called the president to inform him of what awaited him if he did not surrender. The president sat in his chair and sipped his coffee while contemplating what to do. He picked up the telephone and called the EL..A.
