Chronicles of Spring Break: UCLA on Monday

So I woke up at seven in the morning and got ready for my grand adventure. I took my father's infamous green truck which shut down in the middle of a u-turn with two passengers in it. I don't think they'll ever ride my truck again but whatever. I needed it to fit two other people from LA so I had to use it.

I drove it to Los Angeles with slight traffic and got there by nine fifteen or so. I picked up Sarah Chong, then Yoe Jin Whang. We went to eat at Jose Bernstein which is famous for it's ridiculous Kimchi Galbi Burrido. We struggled through the burrido because it was pretty heavy for a burrido. I ate the Kimchi Galbi Burrido, Sarah ate the Vegeterian Burrido, and Yoe Jin ate the Chorizo Burrido. Oh and I finally found out what in blazes Otilia was. :) After we finished we headed back on campus to return Yoe Jin to her studental duties.

After we dropped her off, I parked in front of Hedricks Hall where Sarah, DaKimi, Mimo (kinda), and Ben lives. Sarah and I went back to her dorm and played Jenga. We made the tallest stack of Jenga I had ever seen but I don't play Jenga much. Apparently, Sarah has seen taller stacks.

After we played Jenga, Sarah had to go fliering (the act of handing out fliers) so I went to meet up with Ben Park. In Ben Park's room, I found arguably the most adorable pencil case, I've ever seen in my life. After lingering in his room for a while, we went to eat at the cafeteria. I forgot what it was called. Covelle or something. I ate an hamburger, a fourth of a motza ball, and juice. Ben ate much more than I. Afterwards I met Ben's CCM homies (whose names I will not list, not because I forgot them but cuz I respect their privacy) and we talked a bit.

Afterwards, we went back to Ben's room to meet his two roommates. They were nice guys. Then we walked to Bruin walk where Sarah was fliering. There I met Andrew Han who was also fliering. Very handsome fellow. Then I met a friendly guy named Josh. Super nice. After just chilling for a while, Sarah had to go EVing (evangelizing) and Ben had to go to class. So we walked towards his class and we met up with Kirk who was ending class. So Ben handed me off to Kirk and left for CS (Counter-Strikingly Computer Science)

Then Kirk and I walked to the bus stop across a parking lot of mopeds and bumped into Kirk's roommate Daniel. He was a nice fellow. We rode the bus to Kirk's place and said bye to Daniel since he had to go somewhere and went up to Kirk's apartment. In his apartment, we watched five minutes of Dodgers vs. Giants and left for Versailles, a Cuban restaurant.

On the way there, I found out how Kirk's awesome halfbreed car works. I was admiring the efficiency of his car when we got to the restaurant. I ordered a special chicken of sorts that the restaurant was famous for and ate peacefully with Kirk. The chicken was kind of huge. I finished half and packed the rest for later. Then Kirk dropped me off in front of Hedricks Hall where I met with DaKimi.

When I was up in his room, I offered the rest of my chicken which he ate voraciously and I sat down. While resting in the room, a girl named Christina came into the room and recorded a song on DaKimi's HUGE macomputer. I was tired so I went up to his bed and her song lullabyed me into a deep slumber. It wasn't that deep but her piano playing was beautiful. After she finished, she left and I destroyed DaKimi in Halo 3. Then we went to another community room and played Wii. DaKimi destroyed me. Then another girl named Minnie came in and said something along the lines of "the perfect boyfriend doesn't play games." So sad.

Then we left since we were sad and met with Isaac Hui to eat dinner. We ate at the Hedricks cafe. I tried DaKimi's invention, the Milk Tea Ice Cream with Hazelnut. It was good. After we ate, I met with Mimo and made her feel guilty for DITCHING me. I remet Noel and met her other roommate who shall remain unnamed. :|Then DaKimi and Isaac started beat boxing. We went up to DaKimi's room pulled up Christina's song and started freestyle/beatboxing/reading scripture to it. Dakimi's roommate Daniel was in the back admiring our craziness.

Then Isaac left for homework and DaKimi ditched me for Heroes. Bum. I was walking to my car and I remembered James who facebooked me earlier saying that he was waiting for me in the morning which was a miscommunication that I'm truly sorry for. I called him and we had a nice short talk full of laughter and encouraging words. James gave me the final welcoming touch to UCLA and bid me farewell.

Afterwards, I left for home and I got lost. I aimlessly drove for about an hour before I decided to look at the map only to realize that I was going the polar opposite direction of where I was supposed to go. I fixed my mistake and got home safely.

This marks the end of the first day for my adventurous break. :)
