i just spent all night "moving in." not quite done, but a whole lot of it has been nestled in its appropriate places. well, at least everythings not in a box =P

the place looks like i live here now. i cut up and broke down a bunch of the boxes and consolidated them into one of the box the tv came in. that box is such a boat. but its great. next up, i gotta set up my desk correctly. right now, its just a bunch of wires all over the place. it will come together very soon tho.

after i fix or buy a new cam, ill set up pics. hopefully. which does remind me, i still need to post the cabo pics from last year. hmmm....

After work today, I'll be signing the lease to my new home back in the Southbay. The rough weeks I mentioned in the previous post just became a little easier. The only rough part left is the transition process of moving. UGH.

The place is nice. Good parking, upper floor, patio, bigger bathroom, walk in closet, and all the amenities I wanted in an apt. Best of all, its alot closer to work. Its not in the same city, but it is about 10 minutes one way. Good enough for me. I think I'm actually living near my boss also.

I'm really hoping my current landlord will be cool and just let me ride out the rest of month, and not have to pay for the extra ten days of next month. Its a longshot, but I hope that will turn out ok.

Anyway, things are looking good so far. Hopefully the transition will be smooth. My biggest obstacles are getting a vehicle to haul this shit, figuring out what to do with that 500 pound tv, and the new futon that weighs a ton. Other than that, all I got is a bunch of random stuff I'll need to box up. Hopefully little by little, I can clear out all this crap in the next week or two. Moving sucks. I've been moving around way too much in the past 7 years. Hopefully, I'll be here for the next couple years.

im pretty much set with moving in. all i gotta do is get the kitchen stuff from the house and a few other random things. apartment looks great. i have so much space to store my things FINALLY. no more playing tetris in a tiny room.

so far things look good there. i live there on my terms and my rules. im feeling pretty in control. most of the week, ive been working late and partying up with the coworkers after work.

got really smashed last night at cafe mums. all u can drink sake and beer. hell fucking yes.

like i said, august was gonna be a quick month. and it was.. its already the middle of september!

right now, im at the gf's dorm room. its brinigng back memories. it amazes me how much the dormlife has changed here since the new campus village was built. i can hear kids screaming and hollering in the courtyard as i type. ill admit, im kinda annoyed, but its great to see that this university actually has some life in at night - besides the night life of greek life.

i remember thursday nights being pretty quiet. most kids would drive home to their parents homes, the dorms would be dead. now, im seeing kids everywhere.... heh. just took a peek outside and im seeing about 20 kids in a circle playing music while one person is pop-lockin in the middle. looks like some kinda dance battle i guess.

ok, im going to bed now. ill have my own internet set up in my apt in a few days. finally.

moving is annoying. i am tired and annoyed.

dood. im so fuckin lazy. i owe u a few cabo pics. this i know.

but.. im moving out of my apt. i have other shit on my mind.

but... im lazy to pack.

in the other news, i hung out with my fam all weekend. i love hanging out with them, it makes me remember how far ive come, and much ive grown. thank you fam.

so long san jose. i will miss you. ill be back soon i hope. whenever i get that tech job i want over there.

i got a new apartment! im moving alot closer to work. got a one bedroom spot thats huge! i just signed the lease and all that today. ill be leaving san jose and moving up north where its colder, right on the border of foster city and san mateo.

im pretty excited. i feel likes its gonna be a new chapter in my life since this will be the first time im going to be living off on my own - and in a new city. so it looks like a whole lot of shit is gonna change.

more details to come after i move in.

it is now august. this marks my second month at my new job. the commute is killing me. i dont know how people can commute more than 30 minutes a day. its annoying as hell. i feel like im wasting 3 hours of my life everyday.

i leave my roomates at the end of this month, and i still have no idea where i will live. my main preference is to look for a 1 bedroom or studio. i think living off on my own would mark a new chapter in my life. especially since i'll be leaving san jose and everything ive grown to love. still, id like to live somewhat nearby. possibly between san jose and foster city. ive still got alot of ties in sj that i dont wanna lose yet so i feel like i should stay somewhat close- just so i can make the outings, get togethers, and social gatherings that i love to be at.

this month, i also go to cabo. im taking a week off from work to rest and relax. i didnt really take a bunch of time off while i was at my last job, and at my current one, i feel like i should take a break. i worked full time straight out of college and i only had two days of vacation in between my two most recent jobs. i did go to vegas, but i think i took 3 days off for that. heh, to be honest with you, most of the vacation days i spent at my last job were dedicated to job interviews. isnt that sad? initial interviews, follow-up interviews. it was worth it tho. i got alot of experience and it helped me land the one im at today.

after meeting with all these experienced professionals and taking their advice as my own, the most important thing i learned from them is travel. this is one of the main reasons why i joined AIESEC. since i got this new job, i feel that i should stay for at least a year or two before i leave again. i think then, ill take a couple traineeships abroad. hopefully theyll still take me in by then. otherwise, its finding new jobs abroad. theres always the peace corps and Greenpeace!

im still young. i dont have anything holding me down (besides family of course) and i dont have any financial strings that need me to be here yet. i get envious as hell when i hear other people traveled the world and saw things only a few of us get to see in the media.

i feel like theres a lot more for me to learn before i settle. and traveling is something i feel would definitely enrich my development. we shall see....

anyway... so yea... vacation, moving, looking for a new place to live. this is gonna be a quick month.
