• OMFG! I’m FINALLY DONE with my honors thesis! This morning, I gave birth to a 50 page honors thesis in which I went through a year of labor for, and now…

  LIFE BEGINS!!!

  I’m so freakin’ jazzed now that I’m officially done with college. There so much I’ve wanted to do, and now, I can finally do it because I don’t have to worry about homework or papers to write anymore. Yes, the world is my oyster and I love seafood! HAHA!

  So I’ve been compiling this list of things that I wanted to do post-college. Here’s some of it:

  Reading: I’ve wanted to dive into so many books for leisure, but never really had the time for it until now. I’ve been buying up books like mad in the hopes that this day would finally come, and now that it has, it’s gonna be Reading Rainbow all over again, hehe.

  Organize my room: who wants to go to IKEA with me?! LOL, actually, there’s this really cute little store in the Haight that I really like. I’m gonna pick up some stuff and try my luck with interior design. My room is still so bare and boring, and that just won’t do with me. They’re all just so plain and white, and we all know that I need color in my life, lol. Hmm, maybe I’ll view some old episodes of Queer Eye to see if I can pick up some nifty ideas about jazzing up my room. Any suggestions?

  Non-profit work: I’ve been gone from the non-profit world far too long. The activist inside of my is itching to get out and back into the thick of things. Perhaps I’ll join the Board at LYRIC again, perhaps it’s about time I get involved with GAPA now that I’m living in the City. Hmm, the possibilities are endless–who’ll have me? Who needs help???

  Gym: I finally got a gym membership at 24 Hour Fitness and I’ve been going consistently, but not consistently enough. I’ve been going about 3-4 times a week, but I need to be more disciplined about it all. I need to gain weight darn it! Give me protein shakes or give me…aw fudge, just give me the protein shakes. My life’s just starting, I don’t want death yet, lol…

  Film: I really had a lot of fun when I was making films. I’ve been jotting down ideas and issues that I wanted to address via film and I think it’s about time I put those ideas on screen. The world of film is a wonderful medium for activism, and it’s time to return to my roots as an angry gay Asian man! Who wants to be in my next film???

  Traveling: Ok, so I didn’t wait until college ended to start up on my traveling, but now I can travel so much more, hehe! Here’s what’s in store for the rest of the year:
  - October: Singapore
  - November: LA, Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore, Taipei
  - December: Toronto? New York? Hong Kong?
  WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Yay for traveling!

  Shopping: I’ve been holding back from shopping for new gadgets and gizmos because the ones I have now are still in great condition, but being the technophile that I am, I’m starting to get antsy about some things that I really want. Here are some of the things that I’m thinking of purchasing in the very near future, tell me what you think:
  - a new iPod: either the Shuffle or the Mini–I like the size of the Shuffle though because it’s convenient for working out.
  - Canon IXY: I should have bought this when I was in Akihibara because it was really cheap, but darn my camera for still working. The strap recently broke on my current camera though, does that justify buying a new one? It’s also clunky and big, I need something more sleek and nifty.

  Cooking: I have a freakin’ kitchen now! You’d better believe I’m looking forward to finally cooking for myself instead of eating out all the darn time! I can’t wait to experiment with all the cook books I’m accumulated in the past couple of years, haha! Dinner at my place! No worries, I’ve got a 10-cup rice cooker, there’s plenty of rice for all!!

  Yes, the new chapter is beginning and…

  I’M SOOOOOOOO READY!!!!
