I finally went exploring.
After work, went to Jazz in the Park, a famous annual music festival in a huge park. Got off Chinatown Metro stop, passed by National Archives. A group of us sat and drank sangria and beer, talked, and enjoyed the scene. Didn’t bring my camera so my amazing 1.3mp camera will suffice for now.
1. You need to depend only on yourself. Nobody is going to tell you what to do from the get-go. You cannot and should not expect others to hold your hand. You have to put in your own effort to acquire things that you want. Continue reading “Eight things I learned at Berkeley.”
Dem emotions man. Where dem onions come from yo?
Thanks for everything guys. Continue reading “The day has arrived, leaving Berkeley.”
It’s been a week since the end of finals. All the freshman have disappeared, all the seniors have had their graduation commencements, and the city has been taken over by tourists and summer vacationists. Continue reading “Berkeley: saying them goodbyes (#7).”
Went to Jason’s house to celebrate with his parents, family friends, and lovely German Shepherd this weekend (2/9-2/10). It was very pleasant and I’m glad I got out of Berkeley for a couple days.

It’s my final semester at Cal. I’m going to be sad when I leave. Putting much effort into documenting everything I can about this place.
A couple days ago on 12/7/12, I went to my internship happy hour event. I was looking forward to it as my boss and her friends are all interesting people. I wanted to hear what they had to say and perhaps gain some new perspectives. Continue reading “Advice for a graduating college student.”
It’s 9:27am. Usually I’m sound asleep at this time, having come back from morning practice. But I’ve spent the past 50 minutes icing and massaging my calves, quadriceps, and hips. I have never felt so defeated before.
It was too foggy to row this morning. The coaches decide we would do a land workout instead – everyone groaned. Continue reading “Crew, I have never felt so defeated before (#3).”
In my post last Thanksgiving, I gave props to my mom. This year, I want to extend my gratitude to the aggregate of my relationships. Without them, I’d be a completely different person today. In no particular order, I’ll be going down a list of people/groups/things I’m thankful for until I want to take a shower.
I want to give thanks to the Captain. If I hadn’t met him, I wouldn’t have been such an adventurer. I wouldn’t have experienced ocean waters. I wouldn’t respect the ocean and Mother Nature as I do now. I wouldn’t have the father figure and the role model I see in him. Continue reading “What I’m thankful for this year.”
Since it’s nearing the end of the semester, this post largely talks about training in the past tense. Don’t get me wrong though – I’m still in pain every week. Continue reading “Crew, training pain (Post #2).”
