I got my Saute Pan and I’m excited to use it! I can’t wait until tomorrow. I want to make roasted bone marrow, roasted garlic, and roasted chicken. Yes I am in love with roasting because these past weeks, I only had a pot and all I could make was rice or braised stuff. Now we get cooking!

My mom found a cool Nike backpack!

Fri, 27 Jul 2012 02:26:41 -0400

The the best part is that it has a laptop compartment! One less thing for me to buy. All I need are bed stuff. I am also going to allow myself to get one jacket. Maybe a new pair of running shoes. A dress shirt and maybe a tie because the school requires I have one. Then, I should be set.

Holy Cow

I lost like 3 tablespoon or so of blood at work today. I feel light headed and puking. My blood was dripping all over the place. I had to run to the rest room inside the church and I walked back and blood was on the floor. Hahah I hope God forgives me!

The Yearbook Dilemma

Fri, 15 Jun 2012 02:29:52 -0400

Owning a yearbook that isn’t fully autographed by everyone made me realized how unpopular I am :( haha but then it shows the true friends I do have. I wish more people signed it. I am missing some people’s words of wisdom! I guess I should give it to people during the summer.

MLG!!!

Sun, 10 Jun 2012 01:42:00 -0400

What people feel when they watch sports. When they yell at their teams such as the Lakers. I feel watching MLG. MAJOR LEAGUE GAMING! that stuff is so intense. I get all sweaty watching them play! I wanted Stephano to win :( I was shouting when he was playing. My parents probably thing I am crazy. I wish I could go. It is in Anaheim, only a couple minutes away.

Today made up for yesterday

Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:41:20 -0400

I return! with good news. Graduation! yes… Yesterday sucked. No scholarship and Muse made me sick. Muse boba… Don’t go there. I did not like it. I would rather go to AU. The boba was like jello.

Anyways back to today. The good part. It was in dialogue mode so I was reading the school newspaper and they had a part about Chris Trejo. I read it and it was about him being a studious kid now. I was and always was proud of him because of the way he became. If you do not know him, he was like a gangster kind of guy. Eric and I would always say dang Chris is so hard working etc etc because he always brings a book to study. He is like characters from movies! But I really look up to him because he is so hardworking. if only everyone in Rosemead was like that. Then I hear chris say

Chris: Oh shoot I forgot to thank Jason and Eddy on the newspaper.

Me: It’s ok man don’t worry about it.

Chris: Nah I meant to really thank you guys, especially you Jason. They rushed me at the last minute.

Me: It’s ok

Chris: No Jason, you inspired me to be better. I was in Mr. Lin’s class and I looked up to you. I always wanted to be like you that is why I worked so hard.

Me: No Chris, you inspire me man, after all this you went away from the gangsters, changed your life. You inspire me truly. Eric and I talked about how you are the most inspirational person at this school.

Chris: Thanks it really means a lot to me.

Then we shook hands. That left a smile on my face and I kept thinking about it all day. How I inspired him to become a hardworking student through my actions. I was like :’) thank you sir…. I know throughout my high school year I hung out with what some people call the wrong crowd but I persevered by never drinking or doing drugs, but to be in that group and help someone become an admirable person :)

Also It was the RMA Banquet today. People were angry at each other because everything was really unorganized. Melissa was running late doing a slide show by herself when May was suppose to hep her and Sam just yelling at everyone. I called Melissa and all I could hear was Sam yelling at me to tell her to get here. Constant yelling and bickering. I tried to calm melissa because calm people work better than stressed angry people. I think I was a good leader there. She came, relaxed happy hopefully. I’d like to think i was a good leader. Haha that is why i’m the Vice and Sam is the president

I made speeches about teachers. Well rai, Zubac, Veljacic and Murata. Ms. Murata said i talk on the podium like I was lazy but she liked it. I met her husband! haha And Ms. Bell told me i make “mean” speeches. that was a nice compliment that made me giggle like a school girl. Tehehehe. It was fun overall. Good day

Research Paper...DONE!

Fri, 25 May 2012 01:13:58 -0400

Senior year has now come to an end… My last obstacle is out of the way! BOOYAH! CELEBRATE!!! FIESTAS! MUAHAHAHA! SO HAPPY!! :)

I am almost done with James Beard Scholarship

Thu, 10 May 2012 01:28:00 -0400

Honestly, the most stressful scholarship I had to apply for. They require so much stuff. You can choose which scholarships you want to apply for, 3 max. I didn’t qualify for many of them so I chose the ones with essays. so 2 had essays, and it is x2 of everything so I have to print out 2 of each essays! It was tiring but I am glad I am almost done. I can’t wait to mail it off. Hopefully I win the big one where I get 5k a year :) hopefully. fingers crossed!

I feel like after this scholarship is over with I am going to have so much time but in reality, I wont because I will just move on the next scholarship and be stressed about that too. Never ending cycle, dam you college! Why can’t you be free!!!

Yesterday was crazy!

Sun, 06 May 2012 14:08:41 -0400

This might be a long, but interesting post. So I was going to cater, not knowing what to expect. I go to my brother’s friend’s house named Chef Dave. I find out its for a wedding O.o So much pressure already! I don’t want to ruin their wedding, and then the guys who worked for Chef Dave were all experienced. Well into their 20s and 30s. I was intimidated. They were the typical chefs in Kitchen Confidential. If you don’t know what that means. They smoke, drink and talk about sex a lot. I was shy at first, but one by one they would talk to me and I would get to know them. They gave me good pointers and advice. The destination was at Joshua Tree, 2hrs away!!! but we got lost and pit breaks so it was 3 hours. And I had to sit on a milk cart >.< well the place was literally in the middle of nowhere! No civilization within 5 miles. And smack in the middle of the desert, was a motel with trailers in it. I thought “This is the strangest goddam wedding ever!” The worse part was that we had to work outside in the sun and when it got dark, there were no lights! Well the menu was Yucatan slow roasted pork, carne asada, and chicken tacos for the main dish with red and green rice and 2 kinds of beans. I worked under Chef Mikey who was really nice to me. He let me borrow his knives and dam they were sharp as heck! I wish I had that knife. I basically peeled beets, chop the beets, lemons, lettuce, help plate the salad and help around and in the end I helped washed dishes. The great thing was that everyone helped with the dishes. It was nice, I felt a part of their family. They kept telling me, do you smoke? Dont start! you will never quit. But sometimes it can save you from killing someone in the kitchen so it is a good thing, well if you already started. Haha they were funny and treated me like a little brother. They also drink monster like water. I saw them drink 4-6 cans of it and smoke 2 packs of cigarettes they are crazy! And they would pick up chicks and all that. It was like in kitchen confidential. It was fun though. Got home at 1A.M. and got some free food and made some cash for prom. It was a good day all in all.

Competition is over with, I am on scholarship mode now

Competition is over with, I am on scholarship mode now

Le sigh...

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:59:04 -0400

I thought senior year was suppose to be relaxing :( Thank God I did not take a math class this year. Man… recently I have just been taking it day by day. I sleep so late now. Well recently, I stressed about Vasquez’s essay because he grades so dam hard! That is over with and now I am back in scholarship mode. COLLEGE!!! that has been stressing me out so much, how will i pay for it? I apply to scholarships, but many of them require essays. I am an expert at writing about “my life” or “what I want to be” etc. It is always the same prompts with a slight twist. I let Ms. Zubac read it and now she knows me >.< She is really helpful. But shoot, about 14k of money needed. Scholarship until the very end and then I will take out loans. Then I also have to worry about my competition this week. I am super worried because my team doesnt even have their permission slip signed. They aren’t taking this seriously and I frankly don’t know why I should care anymore either. I text them about something needed for the competition and they whine! They yell at me as if i am the bad guy. They come in 1 hour late to practice! They don’t have a sense of urgency and move slow! They don’t listen! They are out partying before practice! come late! It is very frustrating. I wish I worked alone like last year. Then Ms. Murata yells at me for the teams mistake come on. Why is everyone yelling at me today? Is it national yell at me day? Jesus Christ…I am at the point where I can’t handle it anymore. Then after I come back, I have to start on another essay for a scholarship. Apply for a couple more scholarships, take the AP test and research paper.

I guess what has been bothering me recently is financial stuff, the competition and scholarships. I hate deadlines. I hate competing but if I win, free trip to Florida? Then every night I am exhausted, on the verge of giving up but then I regroup myself and tell myself tomorrow will be better, but it usually is the same. Can’t wait until June! For the love of Ford(Brave New World Pun)!!!

Pet Peeve

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:34:47 -0400

Is when people repeatedly ask me for homework. I hate letting people copy my homework and when you get 4+ people asking you for it. It gets so annoying! Jesus Christ! Does no one do their homework anymore? I understand senioritis, I have that too but seriously… People need to stop asking me for homework. I slack off too, and I manage to do my homework. Then people ask me for rhetorical precis! Holy frijoles, these lazy asses never stop! I have a brain, they have a brain, lets all use it! I don’t have the answers to everything either. Do my answers make your mind at ease? Just let me finish my precis, maybe I’ll help you. I can’t even finish my work because people won’t leave me alone to concentrate. People are lazy…

Up this late finishing Game of Thrones

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 02:23:03 -0400

That was a good episode like always. Never count Game of Thrones to put out a bad episode. Well time for school tomorrow. Just got to get over this week. Then competition and after that… CST testing where I do absolutely nothing. YES!!! then AP testing. then research paper. Phew.. then I am done with senior year. *table flip*

On another note. I am watching a lot of Neil Degrasse Tyson. He is the meme that says “we got a badass over here” he is an astrophysicist and has amazing things to say about life. He makes me want to learn. I am watching all his interviews and this show called Nova sciencenow. Learning so much science. Learning rules! haha cause when I get into arguments, I will be that much better and smarter. Did you know humans can now make diamonds?! that is flipping crazy! Well off to bed, cya.

Good Friday

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 03:33:59 -0400

Hung out with Amy. Then I got AU79 with John and Eric. 50% off. It was a bit too sweet. after the ice melted it tasted fine. I don’t like my teas so sweet. just a hint of sweetness. Then I came home and ate some delicious food. Played a little SC2. Then I saw an imgur post about marilyn manson. It was about him talking about the columbine shooting. I found it pretty smart, what he said and i youtubed him and watched his interviews. He is a smart man, good ideas. Just a bit weird looking but so is lady GAGA and I also don’t like his music but his ideas are well thought out. One of my favorite was when he said you shouldn’t use profanity all the time but when the time is right to express your anger, it is ok because it is better than hitting someone. I agree. Then I watched some Stephen Colbert and that linked me to Neil deGrasse Tyson. The “we got a badass over here” guy. He is smart and iono I like learning about what he has to say, maybe it will come handy in an arguement one day. He is a funny scientist, he isn’t dull and makes jokes. Well I liked today because I am done with my essay and I got to relax. Hopefully I did well on it, I did well in physio. aced the test :) what a relief it was pretty challenging.

My food/cooking challenge to myself

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:43:16 -0400

So before I enter the CIA I want to work on my knife skills so my new challenge to myself is to make myself breakfast which will consist of eggs, potatoes and some sort of protein. I like to cut potatoes into tiny cubes. It should help me with my knife skills. Also I get a delicious breakfast! I will rotate the protein every week or so. Let’s see how long this will last. This week I made breakfast sausage with all that stuff. Good thing I am starting to run so I don’t become fat!

When I am in a place I don’t want to be or I’m lonely, I think of images I’ve seen...

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 02:17:44 -0400

When I am in a place I don’t want to be or I’m lonely, I think of images I’ve seen from Imgur that make me burst out laughing and people look at me funny and I try to explain but I simply can’t.

On another note. I hate school -_- It is so boring with the same thing everyday. It is a dread waking up at 6. I can’t stand a lot of people in my classes. I think the internet has made me a more critiquing person. I say things in my head like the internet like +1 for so and so. It is weird. I guess I dont like going to school because there is nothing positive to look forward to. Just same ole thing… The only thing? Probably that another day is gone and that I’m one day closer to graduation.

I see all these funny pictures posted on Tumblr, but I already saw them on Imgur. Haha I love...

Spring Break is so boring!!!

Sun, 08 Apr 2012 02:15:06 -0400

Shoot me now. Just been gaming and watching tv. watching a lot of Iron Chef on youtube as well. My goals this break is to finish all my essays. 3 total. 1 for school and 2 for scholarships. I will also look for more scholarships. That is the plan. And get lots of rest.

The smell of pho around my house :)

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 23:34:23 -0400

Not the after smell you get, but the fresh smell of a super tasty broth! My mom is making it right now for tomorrow and the smell is all around my house, even my showers! it smells so delicious! like beefy onion soup. mmm I’m getting hungry and I just ate!

On another note, I ran with Eric today and I saw my old coach, Nick, and he said hey jason! If you joined you would be running 11s now, which is considered fast in SGV. Haha I chuckled a little but it was nice of him to say that. I feel so old when I go to the track. I’m saying, yea back in our days and giving the younger kids tips on how to do things the right way. The most memorable thing I’d remember from track was when I was having a bad day and my coach pulled me aside and said “whats wrong jason? I know you can do better. I’ve seen you do better. You are the most improved on this whole team, people look up to you. Come on now try harder” yup yup and I did and he said there ya go.. He majored in psychology so he knows how I think and all that. But it worked.

Spring break is finally almost here… My goal is to finish my english essay as well as 2 scholarship essays before next friday. My goal, hopefully I fulfill it.
