hello? hello?

is anyone out there?

well, if you ARE out there and still reading this blog intermittently, i’m writing to tell you bay area EGOers that I’ll be in san francisco/oakland for 2 weekends in May/June. So, I’d love to see/eat/drink with you in between my meetings and rehearsals if you have time!

I’ll be a VERY happy soul by then, having finished my first year of law school and aged about 10 years (but don’t tell me I look it) – so basically I’ll be in great spirits and looking forward to filling my under-used, un-loved, under-appreciated liver while I’m there.

as for XTC Korea … have a blast at liz’s wedding (did it happen yet??) and at boyoung’s wedding (those of you who’ll attend) and post some pictures!

oh, and I thought some of you would be pretty amused to hear that i SOMEHOW ended up on the KALSA board for next year. KALSA = korean american law students association. the amusing part is that KALSA is made up of many korean ahjushis (from korea) who are doing their LLM studies in the US. hahaha – there may be a bit of a language barrier…to say the least.

during yesterday’s ‘09-’10 EGO staff nominations…

minjung, the current president: “any nominations for next year’s sangswe?”

some freshman, in a very serious tone: “kent.”

Some updates from XTC members~~

Hello xtcers. hope things are well with you, your loved ones, your pets, your favorite sports teams, your favorite celebrities, and your INVESTMENTS (if you still have any left).

Just wanted to send out another update on everyone from what i know about them. Hopefully, you guys can update with more detailed new if you could.

Me (Andrew): I just experienced one of the craziest snow storm in my life (12 inches of snow + ridiculous wind). Business school, for those interested in it, consumes your life in many different ways. It’s a huge investment, but so far, I think it was a good choice for me. Also, it looks like I will be in NYC for summer. Also, I will be going to Peru in less than 2 weeks. Looking forward to the trip.

Hojae: From what I gathered, I think he’s getting married. on May 3rd. in LA. Cheers! Congrats to Hojae and Anna.

Elisa: From my reliable sources, it looks like she’s stuck in library all the time. sounds fun and exciting.

Laeun: My close neighborhood. We go to same school, so I know he’s having good time in nyc just like me. we will be checking out nyuri (NYU poongmul pae) sometime soon. Will give out an update when I do.
Clara: I haven’t talk to her for awhile, so no idea what she’s up to. but i think she will do poongmul performance in April with UPENN folks. Good luck

Yeri: She will be applying medschool from her last update! Good luck! I’ve seen the work put into application and that looked very painful.

Ilho: From his update, he seems to be marching along in this tough economy as one of few working man contributing to our society. Good luck Ilho!

Bo: Just checked out her wedding pictures. She looks great! You guys should all check it out in facebook.

Sunmin: PhDing in Boston as usual. I don’t even want to visualize how cold it must have been in boston. I hear it’s colder than nyc.

Yangho: I know he’s in law school. gonna meet up this weekend (hopefully) and get some more update!

Albert: in Boston! Jennifer Park: in Boston!

Hayone: I think she just started her grad school few days ago in Korea. I am sure she will have great time in same school with Jaehong.

Moowon: I know he’s working real hard in korea, managing the family business. As with ilho, minho, hojae, … good luck. at least you are contributing to this society

Chaeyeon: I think she’s in her third year of med school in ucsd. wonder how things are?

Sunyoung: I just checked out her cyworld. Looks like she’s studying and working hard in LA. I miss the good old LA XTC parties…..

Hanzo: One of few remaining members in LA keeping things still exciting for folks around there.

Minho, Taylor (Hyunsun), Juney, : Haven’t talk to these folks for sometime. I wonder what’s going on?

Jaehong: PhDing in Korea. same school with hayone. i think they are gonna have some good time.

Oh… i think my lecture is finishing up. this is an amazingly boring class…..

Hello XTCers all over the world. It’s a brand new year!!

Well, it’s been already 24 days into 2009 and it seems like many things have happened already.

Obama is rocking it, Hojae’s getting busy for a memorable and significant event of his life, Elisa is putting her nose into law books, Clara must be drumming hard still, Hayone must be in Korea by now, Moowon should be managing the company in tough times, Sunmin should be playing with Soju, Hanzo must enjoy the warmth of LA after the trip to Chicago, Boyoung must be prepping for the wedding…

What’s going on with everyone else?

Update us on what’s going on.   we are all curious about whatever is happening to everyone after good old days of ego.

Me, I am back in New York, sometimes concerned about whether I would be able to get an internship in summer, awed at cold winter of east coast, and mostly enjoying life.

Hope all you folks will have great 2009 and keep in touch.

P.S.  Sorry Yangho for not being able to provide lodging during your trip here last week.  It was one of the businest week for me and i hope to able to chill next time you come around.

hayone’s bday gathering (almost two months later)

i almost couldn’t figure out how to embed video clips on here which made hayone very happy, but 하여나 내가 해냈어! ^^ so the day before hayone’s bday, hanjo oppa, sunyoung unni, hayone, and I met up in gardena at a yummy yakitori restaurant where we ate lots and lots of yummy yakitori thingies… and afterwards we went to, of course, the norebang. we discovered an interesting machine (expensive, interesting machine) where it flashed some lights for 5 minutes every dollar you put in. i guess that made hanjo oppa excited cuz he got into the mood of singing and dancing to girl songs… and hayone i guess also couldn’t resist… unfortunately my camera ran out of memory when it was sunyoung unni’s turn. neways we had a great time, if i remember correctly. so here are the clips:

hanjo oppa- 성인식

hayone- poison

hanjo oppa- 자옥아?
