I had an audition to play the piano for this girl and boyfriend’s anniversary at SJSU. I parked my car near Black and Brown and biked to SJSU. I would’ve biked from home to downtown but I had to also drive my friend to the bus stop. I explored around looking for inspiration and I also wanted to know downtown better. At the beginning of the year, I really knew nothing about my downtown. Now I at least know how to get around without the navigation and to get to various parking garages. Anyways, two of my friends asked me to shoot for them the following week so I had to find a spot.




I visited downtown City Hall to check out Occupy San Jose just to see what was going on. I had already been at City Hall unintentionally because it was one of SJ Bike Party’s stops. I saw so many pictures and stories of the rallying in Oakland and Wall Street so I was curious if the rallying was any different in the day time here in SJ. There were just some but nothing at all intense. The majority were just the houseless that normally roam around in the city.



Later on that night, I went to Halloween Masquerade. Yeah, it sounded cool but it wasn’t all that great. It’s definitely going to be referred back as those ” Ha, remember that time when we…” moments.

Saw THE Lacey Bryant (one of my favorite local artists) painting at the Kalied Art Gallery after closing. There’s a Two Buck Tuesday event coming up that she always organizing.

Shawna dressed up as a baseball player and I dressed up as a hipster zombie that got ran over by a bike… It’s funny how someone else from my class of 2010 also reused their Zombie outfit from our senior homecoming skit. Good shit.


Esther and Michael (he’s dressed up as Diddy Kong)


Appetizers were half off, asian’s taking advantage of the deal.

Long night. Let’s just leave it as that.

10/30/11
Shawna and I had to carve the pumpkin on behalf of our club, APAU (Asian Pacific American Union) pronounced as A-POW. Both of us have never ever carved a pumpkin before. I took a stab at it and I realized how fun it was. Shawna was disgusted at taking the insides out so I had to do it- AND THAT WAS FUN TOO. Then Shawna realized how fun it was to scrap out the inside. Then she was pumpkin hogger and carved the rest of it (but I drew it out).

Michael was indifferent..
Haha, obviously I was hella into it.

Boo, from Mario

Turn out that we won first place! Our club gets 50 bucks and a free pizza party. Yuh.


Later on that night, I went to go trick-or-treating with Carolyn and her little sister along with Christina and her little cousin.
