today i discovered airborne- an amazing product that helps boost your immune system with an overload of vitamins. a few days ago when i felt the initial symptoms of a cold, i drank some chocolate milk in hopes that the it will somehow help. to my disappointment, it didn’t.
then today a friend introduced me to airborne, at which point i ran to walgreens and got myself a pair (buy one get one half off…).
(airborne!)
(hah! 1667% of vitamin c as a % of daily value. i’m most certain that my body was unable to absorb 90% of the vitamin c that i consumed through airborne… but it never hurts to try huh?)
(conveniently packed to take anywhere!)
(inconvenient tablets that have to be dissolved in water)
so did it work? i felt somewhat better friday, but not much better the next day. hopefully it’ll help more if i take it earlier next time.
the whole purpose of taking airborne was to get better quick in hopes of hitting the books again. a side purpose was to feel better for lezlee’s birthday party at la lola, a relatively new tapas restaurant in the city. it’s always fun to take part in birthday celebrations. i missed the big one in LA last week so i was happy to be part of this one in SF. it was also nice to see lezlee and friends whom i haven’t seen since 2008!
(la lola had some delicious sangria’s)
(this was one delicious cake)
for 2 차 , we headed over to the foggy part of town aka ‘daly city’ for some good old bowling. the first game was a bit frustrating as i couldn’t mark any frames, but the second game turned out to be my personal best at 222. how’d i get there? i dunno… but i probably got a performance boost from airborne, bud light, and the nickname ‘coolyoungsukit’.
(did i mix airborne in beer?! psh, that would just be stupid. these to-go powder pixies required no water. i drank the beer right after the pixies, so i might as well have mixed it in the beer though… )
(how i got to 5 strikes… nearly a flawless start!)
(how it ended…)
(the result; might i add… the split on the 10th frame was no easy cookie to pick up)
the nrb was our destination for 3 차. 2 hours were not enough to belt out all our favorite songs… but the nrb was packed and we couldn’t extend our stay. it was a very fun day all around and a welcomed break from all the studying.
(that’s right folks… now everybody can sing boa’s first american single ‘eat you up’ at nrb)
. sad, i know. save your $10, don’t watch madagascar 2 in theatres…
story 1: when you throw parties in college, and when they are rumored to be awesome… you eventually find that more people come to your party than your house/hosts can really handle. during one of our parties, there was a series of events that left our house empty of the party hosts. 
story 2: one of my best friends found his younger sister partying away at our party one day, and got into a big 
as angry as these lets-punch-the-wall people were at the time, i can’t help but be humored when i replay the events in my head. think about it… who punches walls and makes holes in them? who does that? who would do such a stupid thing? seriously… 
there is one more story by the way, story 4: towards the end of the year i realized that we would soon have to patch all these holes up. i found it amazing that all of these guys completely missed the stud when punching the wall. had they hit even part of the stud, the holes probably wouldn’t have been as large as they were. when i told james about this, he told me, “i don’t know? why don’t you try punching the wall?”. ok… to be fair, i’ll include a disclaimer that i blame everything on james, even when it’s clearly not his fault… in fact, he probably didn’t even say this. anyway, as you can imagine i tried giving the wall a punch. and voila!! housemates 4, wall 1.
