just blogging

NYC

I had so much fun in NYC.
I wish I had the time and the effort to blog about the whole week, but I obviously don’t.

O wellz.
Here’s a video.

origami

Last night, I was up until 4am writing a paper for my class.  I got about 3 hours of sleep, and I was gonna take a nap right after the class.

But no. Josh (http://www.youtube.com/JugginsJosh) had to post a video about origami, and my Asian blood told me to show him how real origami is supposed to be done.  So I made a video response.

After I made the video, I realized how much I enjoy origami.  It’s totally relaxing, and the idea of turning something 2D into 3D is quite fascinating.  I used to spend hours and hours making random things with color paper when I was little.

For one of my aunts’ weddings, I made her an origami bouquet.  For my uncle’s wedding, I think I gave him a picture frame that had traditional Korean origami people.

I wish I had more time to do origami now.  Maybe I’ll make a video tutorial on an origami piece?  What do you think?

John Park on American Idol

So let’s talk about this sexy ass biatch, John Park.

He goes to my school, Northwestern University, and he’s on American Idol this season.

If you saw Tuesday night’s Chicago auditions, you definitely would remember John; I mean, Shania Twain was fangirling all over his “bottom” and “lips.” If you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve put some Annotations on my latest video on YouTube, including his audition and previous performances Northwestern.

The truth about John Park is that he’s not just about the looks; he’s very talented, as you probably heard, and he is a GREAT PERSON. I don’t know anyone who knows him and doesn’t like him; as a matter of fact, everybody loves him.  He is a celebrity material, and he totally deserves to be on the show.

Let’s all hope he goes far! Please join his Facebook fanpage for more updates.

new year’s eve; penguins

oooo new year’s eve!

you probably thought that i was gonna look back at 2009 and talk about things i did and i didn’t do… and such. however, i’m not gonna do that because who really cares? i don’t think i, myself, don’t even care.

so i’m gonna talk about penguins.

just about 10 minutes ago, i had a conversation with mommykim and daddykim.

daddykim actually thought that a penguins were mammals. seriously, daddykim? penguin = bird! so mommykim and i laughed, and we told him that penguins are birds.

daddykim : no way. you two are trying to fool me.

me : um… no. penguins are birds. their wings became finlike, they have beaks, some of them have duck-like feet…. they’re birds.

daddykim : are you sure? then what makes them so fuzzy? how can they swim underwater?

mommykim : i can swim underwater.

daddykim : because you’re a mammal.

me : i’m hungry.

so now i have to go cook. not a penguin though. think more towards… cows.

hope you had a great year, and see you next year :D !

i’m in colorado, baby! [day 1]

yes! i’m in colorado right now, hanging out at my friend travis’(s). why am i here? no specific reason. just hanging out you know. it’s all good though.
but seriously, i’m in colorado to snowboard. i’m not great at snowboarding, but i love it. it’s like horrible singers uploading their singing videos on youtube. who cares if they’re good at it or not? they love what they’re doing, so let them be. hence, let me be.
i landed here yesterday evening at the DIA and waited for my friend oonsie to land. her flight, originally, was supposed to land like 10 minutes after my flight, but it was delayed about an hour. ugh. so i made a video and took dailybooth pictures at the airport in boredom.

then travis came to pick us up, and we went straight to dinner… PHO! it was heavenly. we ate like pigs (and ironically ATE pork) and when we were done eating, we could barely get up. it was a hot tranny mess.
as soon as we got to travis’(s) place, i made a video for robmuch on the5guys collab channel. (http://www.youtube.com/the5guys) the video turned out to be a hot tranny mess, but i had fun making it :P .

btdubs, travis’(s) house… is baller like woah. it’s such a beautiful house. i might have to make a cribs episode in this home yo.
then carlos (http://www.youtube.com/carloslikesrobots) came over to hang out with us. we watched the lastest episode of GLEE. it was by far one of the best episodes. don’t you agree? and btdubs, did you know that the girl who plays brittany, the hairography cheer-io played by heather morris, was one of beyonce’s back-up dancers for her world tour of I Am… tour? FREAKIN’ OUT! this deserves a post of its own.
after GLEE, we played Apples to Apples until 3 in the morning. totes ridic, i know, but it happened. carlos majorly pwned this game, and i don’t quite understand how that happened. does he read minds or something? oh well.
now i need to get out of this awesome-tastic bed, take a shower, eat something, and crash carlos at work. <3
this trip is awesome so far. oh yes it is.

snowboarding begins on sunday, i believe. until then, i shall be buddy-buddies with carlos and alcohol.
