Holiday Toy Drives
Growing up in a Buddhist household, my family did not celebrate holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas. As a kid, I remember getting sad every time the holidays came around because my favorite restaurants would be closed and the only places open were Asian restaurants. Trying to explain to a kid why McDonald’s is not an option on Christmas Day is a very difficult thing to do. It...

Days Like This
Every once in a while I will have a day like today where the weather is gloomy and all I want to do is sit at home, wrap myself in a blanket, sip green tea with brown rice, and switch between listening to dubstep and reading a good book. Just me, myself, and I time. Being such a social person that I am all the time, I value days like today where I can shut out the entire world and not have to...

I Miss Northern California
Like most Asian families, we roll deep in numbers. My father has 6 siblings and my mother has 8 siblings. I have family in almost every part of the world. It makes it super easy to travel. Recently, I went to Calgary, Alberta to attend my cousin’s wedding. The first night I arrived, my brother and I decided to walk to the nearest bar and order their finest Canadian beer. The bartender asked...

Planking
This planking fad is ridiculous. If you haven’t heard or seen pictures of people planking, you must be living on a different planet. The act of planking has become an international sensation to the point where the official planking Facebook page has over 560,000 “likes”.
All I have to say is that you’ll notice there are not a lot of pictures of Asian people planking. Why...
Five Ways To Win My Heart
About a month ago, I noticed there were a lot of 30 day challenges on tumblr. I was about to do one myself, but then I got lazy. I started with this one and never finished it. Well, here it is.
1. Be direct. As much as I want to make you “feel like you’re the only girl in the world,” one thing I cannot do is read between the lines. Nothing frustrates me more than not telling...
Keep Smiling
Our brain is divided into two parts. The first part deals with an emotional thought process while the other part deals with a logical thought process. We live in a world that is seen through an emotional filter. As humans, we tend to act more on our emotions than we do in a logical sense. For example, when you close your eyes and a chocolate candy bar is waved under your nose, you instantly...
Five Reasons Why I Like Summer
Summer is here, so let’s get our tan on!
1. Sun Dresses
I absolutely love it when women wear sun dresses. Especially, when they wear ones with bright colors and cool designs. So sexy.
2. Beaches
Throughout the year, I make an effort to go to the beach at least once a week. I grew up around the beach as a child. Summer is an excuse to visit the beach more than once a week.
3. Outdoor...

Gemineye - Penny For Your Thoughts
Can I offer you a penny for your thoughts?
As a matter of fact, how about three?
One penny for you, one penny for me,
And one penny for our minds engaged not so sexually.
Getting intimately closer as we approach the
Climatic altitude of nude, mental, sensational… conversation.
Because I’m trying to get to know everything about you
From the neck… up.
So these are not your...
Euphoria
San Jose, I hope you’re ready for this weekend. Since 2005, I have always wanted to be involved in the music business on some way. My first exposure to it was through my employer at Puma North America. I was given the responsibility to book local dj talent for our store in Santa Clara on the weekends. This exposed me into the entire nightlife culture. It was then when I decided I wanted to...

Five Signs You've Fallen Into The Friend Zone
There is nothing worse than the friend zone. One time I hung out in the friend zone for so long that I interior decorated the friend zone. I partially furnished it with a big screen tv and a lazy boy recliner. I’m never going back there again.
In order to insure that the friend zone doesn’t happen to any guy ever again, here are five signs that you have unfortunately fallen into the...
Not This Again
Hate is a strong word, but it’s the best word to describe how I feel tonight. What I hate is this feeling lingering over me. It’s the feeling of an emotional low point. As if everything you have been working towards is crashing down on you and there’s nothing you can do to stop it or make it any less painful. On the surface everything may look fine, but underneath it all, it’s a hot mess. I am...
When I Look At You
When I look at you, I see the beauty of your light brown eyes.
When I look at you, I feel my heart skip a beat every time you smile.
When I look at you, I taste the smoothness of your voice as you speak.
When I look at you, I hear the sound of time stopping as you sit close to me.
When I look at you, I smell the scent of every dream I’ve had of you.
When I look at you, I think of all...

Ten Universal Lies
1. I’m not drunk
2. I’m never drinking again
3. I won’t hurt you
4. Let’s stay friends
5. She’s just a friend
6. I lost your number
7. I need time to myself
8. I’m busy
9. I’ll start a diet tomorrow
10. I have read and agreed to the terms of service
Music is my mood ring.
I Never Stopped Caring
When you called me a few days ago to tell me you were dating a mutual friend, I have to admit, my heart sank to the ground. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy for you. We talked for an hour about everything to do with your new life and my new life. I’m glad we did. The truth is… sometimes I wonder about you. I still hope you’re doing well, but I know you are. I always assume...
It’s almost 6:00am Wednesday morning and I still have not gone to sleep. I’ve been awake since Tuesday morning. Funny thing is, I’m just sitting here thinking about how I love girls with tattoos.
Yeah, I'm Not Ready... Yet.
I remember my family saying, “Don’t worry about it right now. Focus on your life and finish the things you want to finish. Eventually, you will meet someone down the road.” I also remember my friends saying, “Money. Power. Respect. Women.” The thing is, I’m what some call, a “Yes” man. Naturally, I have the tendency to want to take on everything, so...

Five Things Men Really Want
A good woman knows exactly what a man wants. She can tell what our deepest desires are and knows how to satisfy those needs. Some may think all these desires revolve around sex. This is not true. Men want a lot more than just sex. I know a lot of men (including myself) who have turned down sex from attractive, eager, and willing women. So what else are men searching for in women? Here’s...
My Bad, Snail...
Yup, today’s post is about snails. Hella random, I know. The idea to write about snails came to me one night as I was getting off work and walking towards my car. No, I didn’t accidently step on a snail that night, but it has happened before. In fact, I am almost 100% positive that you reading this post have accidently stepped on a snail at least once in your life. Have you ever...
Suck It Up And Move On
Getting over somebody is possibly one of the hardest things to do. Not being able to move forward because you are still holding onto the previous relationship can be emotionally, mentally, and maybe even physically unhealthy. The truth is, there is an end to everything, including relationships. Some result in pain and some may result in relief. While it may be difficult to get over somebody, in...

Time
Ever since I started my new job back in January of this year, I have noticed that time has been passing by at a much slower rate than before. Many of my friends know that I am a morning person. It would not matter what time I went to sleep, by 8:00am I would be awake and ready to start the day. As a result, I would normally be asleep by midnight. Over the course of the last few years, I’ve...
Words I Never Said
Before I can let you go, there are words I never said
I want you to know about these thoughts I’ve kept in my head
Every time I saw you, the beauty of your smile made me stop and stare
My feelings for you will always continue to be there
I tried my best, but still you chose to leave me
If you truly love them, you must learn to set them free
At first I drank to forget, but now I write...
Five Activities That Should Not Be Done Alone
A couple years ago during one of the family road trips, we came up with a list of activities that would be strange/odd/weird/just plain sad to do alone. Don’t worry alcoholics, drinking alone is not on the list. You may continue to drink by yourself in peace. For those of you who who have done (or still do) one of the activities listed below, I suggest you find more friends. Real talk.

Random Thought
We as humans are constantly in search of meaning and truth. We do not like confusion. All of us gravitate towards things that mean something to us, and for most of us, that’s people. Nobody wants to be lonely, yet it has been said that we end up leaving this world alone. It’s the time we spend with the people we love that makes up for all the bad times we go through. Word up to your...
Five Activities I Will Only Do With Women
Hanging out with the boys is always fun, but there are times in life when I prefer doing things with women more than men. Now before your dirty mind begins to kick in, I’m referring to less intimate activities most people don’t think about on a normal basis. Here are a few activities I could do with one of my boys if I wanted to, but never would.
LENGTHY PHONE CALLS
I cannot remember...
Things I Am Self Conscious About
I am an awesome person. Everybody knows this. Although, I do admit that I am that type of guy who cares what people think. Especially around women. This makes me self conscious about the way I look and act in front of a female. Sometimes I catch myself staring at her lips as she speaks to me rather than into her eyes. Why you ask? Because I love the way those lips move and the sound that emits...
Sometimes It's Just Not There
Ask any of my friends about me. They know that I am a social butterfly of epic proportions. I can talk to a girl up and down, left and right, for as long as it takes and then say, “well, it was nice talking to you, see you around.” There will be times when I am convinced that the woman on the receiving end of my charming ways was either confused or question why the interaction ended...

Five Truths... Just Saying
Men are from Mars and women are from Venus. We’ve all heard this before. I’ve even read a book with that as the title. It just means men and women simply don’t understand each other. In relationships, what constitutes truth varies like the panties women own. What was true on Sunday may not be true on Wednesday. Truth is in the eye of the beholder, but people insist on wanting the...
Personal Goal
I created this tumblr blog so that I can shatter my literary glass ceiling.
How I am going to do this is quite simple. Starting on Monday, February 28, 2011, I will be posting five entries a week. One each day Monday to Friday. This will help me transfer my crazy nonsense into literature.
Each person expresses his or her thoughts and feelings through a variety of mediums. There are many ways to...
Friendship
“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”
Last weekend, we celebrated my brother’s 21st birthday at the house. It was the phattest house party we have ever thrown to date. If I recall correctly, there were around 40 people in attendance. The kitchen island was stocked full of hard alcohol, there was a full keg of Miller Lite in the...
Must Keep Up With The Times...
Back in 2003, I started my first blog website using Xanga. During that time, Xanga was the shizznits. For a few years following that, I was creating pointless entries consisting of my thoughts and feelings that nobody cared about. I didn’t care what people thought. I wrote all that for me. Eventually, life happened and I stopped all together. Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of tumblr...
