By here, I mean at Blogger. So I moved my blog over to WordPress which I think is a heck of a lot more functional... and pretty too...So go check that out and update your bookmarks (yeah right)!http://www.insidecy.wordpress.comI'll keep this one up just to look at every now and again, but new posts will show up on the WP blog.Ciao!http://insidecy.blogspot.com/2007/11/i-moved.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Cy)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097162.post-1882052485781268348Tue, 23 Oct 2007 06:52:00 +00002007-10-23T00:37:39.378-07:00So guess what happened today... and I'll admit it.I cried.Tonight I was pretty emotionally distraught. Let me explain.Today was just a series of events that lead to the floodgates being opened. For the most part, the day was great. I worked, had class, a teacher bought me lunch, and did a presentation. It was when 5pm rolled around that things started to really happen. And it wasn't even all thathttp://insidecy.blogspot.com/2007/10/anyone-selling-time-management-skills.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Cy)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097162.post-8706986331445828893Mon, 22 Oct 2007 03:37:00 +00002007-10-21T23:08:56.887-07:00So here it is, a blog entry.The last couple months have been quite eventful for me. Let me give you a rundown of all that's been happening in my life.I. Accepted!If you don't know already, I'm currently a student at USC. I should mention that this is the real USC, not the university with that ridiculous mascot, the Gamecock.The process of getting accepted to USC was a really difficult one for me.http://insidecy.blogspot.com/2007/10/its-about-time-right.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Cy)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097162.post-8429265485338831481Sun, 09 Sep 2007 00:11:00 +00002007-09-08T17:11:47.629-07:00...a blog entry this weekend.Promise.http://insidecy.blogspot.com/2007/09/there-will-be.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Cy)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097162.post-6645620686312843858Tue, 03 Jul 2007 17:16:00 +00002007-07-03T11:09:22.904-07:00DramaFamilyHOBYThis past weekend, I was up in Nor Cal for a wedding. While I had a really good time and the wedding/reception was fantastic, there was a little bit of drama that went down. Let me give you some background before I go into it.In 1982 when my mom was 26, she moved to the United States with a handful of other nurses from the Philippines. All of them were recruited to work in Brownsville, Texas. http://insidecy.blogspot.com/2007/07/doing-right-thing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Cy)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097162.post-6965766213882794637Thu, 28 Jun 2007 20:14:00 +00002007-06-28T13:27:59.498-07:00ThoughtsSo it's definitely been a while since I've blogged. I've had a lot of time this summer to consider where I am in life and the things that are important to me. Recently, I changed the "About Me" section on my Facebook. I think it describes a little bit about what's been going on with me lately."I figured I'd rewrite this since life is ever-changing...I'm still a Christian and still love God, no http://insidecy.blogspot.com/2007/06/thinking.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Cy)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097162.post-3659726331533062401Tue, 29 May 2007 05:43:00 +00002007-05-28T22:49:22.166-07:00Here I am, the night before my first couple finals for hopefully my last semester at AVC and I am stuck on the computer finding ways to procrastinate. Thus here I am writing this blog. I've exhausted all other methods. No new messages or friend requests on Myspace. No new wall posts or messages on Facebook either. No new forum posts on any of the message boards that I frequent.

A total of 33 people died in today's shootings. Any search on YouTube will get you a video of student interviews and testimonies. The gunman was a man in his mid-20s, asian, and not a student of the University.What makes someone do something like this?

He's in his room so I hang with his roommates for a bit watching V for Vendetta. He comes out, says hi to me, gives me a hug, and grabs a drink of water. As he retreats back into his room, he waves at me and says,"Cy, I'm saying goodbye for now. I probably won't be seeing you for a while."I get up and give him another hug.Well, he's moving.

I notice it almost immediately, make a comment in my head, and walk past it. I stop dead in my tracks and decide that I need to take a picture of this.

You can't always be 100% certain of what is right in front of you. People change. Situations change. Lives change.Granted, some things are certain for everyone. For me, my faith is certain. God is certain. Really. Does anything matter in this life? In this world that we live on?

I awoke to find I had a voice mail message and a missed call on my phone. I listed to the message and it was my mom."New Message. Saturday 6:00pm, 'Hey son, it's your mom. I'm outside and can't find my keys. Open up!"I looked at my alarm clock. It was 6:30p. Whoops! I promptly called her back."Hey, boy.

I excuse myself from the discussion and take the call outside."Hey, man. What up?" I ask."Oh... well, a lot. Did you maybe want to get together tonight?" He asks.I think for a moment. I really want to get together with him and let him talk about what's going on in his life.

He tells me, "Not good." I figured as much. I've been calling him and he hasn't returned my calls. He didn't show up to church on Wednesday night and he missed the Men's group. It's not something he would usually do, so naturally, I worry. Maybe worry is the wrong word.

The marathon starts at seven this morning with the alarm clock pulsing through my ears to which the snooze button provides relief for a good twenty minutes, after which I realize that I actually do need to go to school.

Every once in a while, I think out loud here on my blog in totally abstract, vague, and nonsensical blabber. It's quite a treat if you get to read them. They're normally somewhat depressing yet with a dash of hope in them.
