today was so insane. I had violin related stuff from 11:00am-10:00pm. First i was practicing, then I went to teach, then i practiced some more, then taught some more, then i drove home, ate and went to lessons. Then I got home at 10:30. That's pretty insane.

Today is my dad's official, yet fake, birthday.

Feeling nostalgic right now. Maybe cuz my bro's gone, it feels like jr year all over again... New school, independant,.... and now I realize how connected I was to my Japanese music: Do As Infinity - Summer Days (oh gosh, that bands rocked!!) Well, got to move on! Olympics are over too, but there's Beijing to look foward too!!! (I wanna go!)

So I'm teaching my butt off nowadays. At least I'm earning some money at a wage closer to what I deserve. I'm a pretty good teacher if I do say so myself, but that's only because God has made me to teach. I'm a pretty mean one too, but I can't unleash my venom until I'm really famous and able to make some students quit and still make good money. Right now I'm borrowing an 11k violin... thinking of buying it, just need to talk to my teacher first. He is a great teacher. a Great person too (I love Koreans! Especially adults!)

I can't wait for school, yet I know that once it starts, I'll be pining for it to end. Roooommminng with RIcharD! How Crazy I say, just wait as the sausage fest begins.

And one last thing... I never have enough TIME or ENERGY to practice as much as I know I have to. I need to be in my best shape for LA. I'll shoot for concertmaster... I figure if my teacher could do it at Juliard, I can do it at LA (maybe not right away, but it's a worthy goal). Right now it's training, but once there is school, let the games begin. *Snarls* hehehe.

i was just watching olympics... good stuff. China got owned on the uneven bars (women's gymnastics).

After orientation and my last day working for sjys I feel really sad that I'm leaving San Jose. I will be making completely new friends and missing everyone from orch. That's a pretty big deal considering that orch was a huge part of my life for the last 2 years. Life changing man...
I'm gonna be leaving all my old friends and making new ones. Just from orientation I can see how friends are gonna be so different in college. I'm going to be surrounded by older people and *real* adults. How scary is that. They all talk differently then the people I'm used to.

Darn man. I'm gonna miss all you people in San Jose. I already miss you all.

I'm just overwhelmed with life right now. Siggghhh, don't oversize Tim (whoa i just talked to myself on my journal).

DARN MAN when is my brother coming home. Just feeling a little sad about stuff. It's alright, God is good.

"I am cleaning up so well."

This journal hasn't been updated nearrrlly enough. i used to take care of this thing every single day. Well today i figured out how to play NeoGeo arcades on my computer. So now I can play King Of Fighters 2002 on my computer. I love King of Fighters, as stupid as the name sounds, it is a very cool game. I went to the Hu's to eat lunch, then a bunch of us went to golfland and we played for a LOONNGG time. It was fun though. I saw this dad playing and I copied his style... that equals super awesome golfer TIM is in the golfland houses0rz. Preeety cool i say.

I didn't practice violin today ( I did yesterday though!!)

i didn't know it was such a big deal.

Olympics opening ceremony was on today, but I skipped almost all of it because it seemed really boring.

This is such a good song. Everyone should listen to it.

Lifehouse -Everything

Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place
Where I find peace again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
And you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You steal my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper, now

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything
You're all I want
You're all I need
Everything, everything...

When how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

Oh And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better any better than this

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this...
