Peak

So, I was talking with one of my top-tier friends, Jonathan Kim, today. Just catching up, you know. He and some of our other friends have just returned from a snowboarding trip in Montreal. I wanted to see if they had any fun without me. Apparently, they managed.

Then we moved on to discuss what I should get myself into this summer: job, internship, both, traveling? I DON'T know! I want to do everything, but I need to make money.

I also went ahead and asked Jon if he could help me build a page as cool-looking as his. He suggested I start a blog.

WHAT!!?!?! 

Listen, Jon, I thought we were friends. You'll notice I described him as "top-tier" earlier. But he didn't know I have been writing (well...) this blog since AUGUST! Plus, I only put links to it everywhere! 

I think this is just great evidence that if you are not active on social networking sites (esp twitter) then you practically don't exist. People, including your friends, will not find you.

On a final note, I think this band, and Tien by himself, is awesome. Dayplayer.

Voyage Day 1–Aug 29, 2008

We have officially started our voyage today. I stood in line to board the ship in the sweltering sun for around 45 minutes, finally getting on the boat that will be my home for the next three months at 11:30 am (eastern time). They took my passport and vaccination records, handed me an insurance card, ID card and sent me off to my room. My roommate was already in our cozy cabin, 4157. Her name is Kellie, and she is a senior in some school in New Hampshire, though she is from New Jersey like everyone else on the east coast. She commenced unpacking while I waited for my own luggage to be delivered. It's so weird to compare the amount of stuff I seem to need up in Boston to what I brought on this trip. I needed to pack appropriate clothing for 11 different countries, oh and the ocean. But I was limited to two bags of up to 70 lbs (mine were under 50lbs) plus one carry-on. While I was packing, it felt as if I would never have enough stuff. As soon as I checked my bags at the airpo...

For My Mother

My mom is not as knowledgeable in things computer- or internet-related. So this post is for her and people like her. It is an explanation of hyperlinks. Dear mom, As you read my blog posts, you may notice some words are a different color, as if they are being highlighted. Well, these words are the equivalent of a footnote in books. You can click on them for a further explanation or more information. A hyperlink is the term used for these special words. I hope that helps. Love you.

Day 92 Breakfast was served early this morning: from 0630 to 0800. I was not happy about waking up that early. What made me especially unhappy was that Kelly had heard that we wouldn't be able to get off the boat until noon or later. Luckily, that rumour was wrong. Customs proceedings began a little after 0800, and the ship was cleared by 0900.  While we were waiting for the ship to be cleared, I got to see Kelly's parents for the first time. They called her to say they were standing on the dock off the back of the boat. So we went out there and waved. We were formally introduced as I disembarked with Kelsey. Her brother is really attractive. And her parents were so sweet. They were surprisingly excited to meet us. I was thankful they had invited us to join them for dinner. Kelsey and I let them go about their business, and we set out on our mission for Starbucks and an ATM before heading to the beach. The ATM was easy enough to find, and we just had to follow th...
