Interests:i'm an only child with 30 cousins. people usually think i'm vietnamese, then korean, then chinese. i love boba and my friends call any boba selling store my mothership. looking at pretty things makes me happy, so i'll spend hours looking for nice desktop wallpaper. i'm 3/4 han and 1/4 machurian. i have a lot of self confidence but am desperately insecure about approaching people. babies and cute animals make me happy. i enjoy being cute and perky but i find very few opportunities to do so. i'm really silly and affectionate with the people i know. if i don't wave to you on the street it just means i forgot to put in my contacts. it's difficult to get me angry, but i tend to be explosive when i am. my dream is to help people and make them happy. i love to sing but you've probably never heard because i'm self-conscious. i was redeemed by God's love, and i put my faith in God above all else. i live to love, and i love to live. little things make me happy. it's hard for me to open up to oth Occupation:Student

as posted on his deviantart site: Gift of Ages is an animation I made in about a week and a half for my church's Christmas program.
Ah, there's so much to say about this one, but I somehow feel that
explaining it will make it weaker. I should hope that the piece is
strong enough to stand on its own without my having to prop it up with
words.
And so for some of you I might have ruined Christmas. But to everyone
else, I hope you've enjoyed this presentation and that it brings new
meaning to the secular symbols we see annually.
Programs used: Flash 8, openCanvas, 3D Studio Max, and Sound Forge. All
3D work was done by my brother Brian (thanks!), and the music is
Chopin's Etude in E major Op.10 No.3, as heard in the OST for Fullmetal
Alchemist.
*waves* hi cousin (bigger) john! this one's for you =P
soooo...i haven't updated this thing since middle of last quarter, so
since it's the beginning of a new quarter and all (aka i still have
time to procrastinate...what am i saying, there's ALWAYS time to
procrastinate =P it just comes at the expense of things
like...sleep -_-), why work on my parasitology notes when i can update
xanga! ^_^
so february was full of fun things (such as my 21st birthday ;) and kate's 21st birthday! muahahaha...) like...
junior formal!
(some) of our dinner group at pasta market:
hot guys =)
and the girls (what're we doing? we're uh...grabbing a lamp! ...duh =P)
(half) drawgroup <3 (plus dates)
more drawgroup <3
and more ^_^
and then kate's 21st:
the obligatory 21st birthday shot (and the rest of us were drinking...water. yes...)
the obligatory being-thrown-in-the-shower shot =P
the aftermath =P
and then a week later...jessica's birthday! happy 20th roomie =)
her hot dates ^_^
her other dates (not as hot, of course ;))
all of us =)
and then two days later...my 21st!
yeah...so my best friend caked me. got her back though, ha! (as well as her partner in crime)
(and uh, i do not deem the rest of the pictures xanga-worthy.
let's just say the words "cooked lobster" come to mind. moving
on...)
joint birthday celebration at gordon biersch! sooooo good!
great food, great beer, and they take reservations! sweeeet!
table 1...
and table 2 =)
finally (i think this might be out of order datewise, but oh well)...viennese ball!
group shot
kdphi <3
then in march...xanga stops letting christine upload pictures because
her upload limit is up. bah. and my parasitology notes are
screaming for love, *sigh* who wants to look at the results of
lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis if you're dying to know, aka huge
giant swollen limbs) or...loa loa infection (it's not called the
african EYEworm without a reason -_-) when you can update xanga?
meh...i'll finish this later =)
(oh, and since a lot of people seem to like my background music, the
song's "it's only the fairy tale" from the mai-hime ost. let me
know if you want it =))
