Updates: Summer, NYC Gathering, AjisAi mod

It's summer time!! Well, it's been summer time for me since I've been out of school for a month now...and I've been extremely unproductive.  I have 3 goals for this summer: get a drivers license, get a job, and get some college loans.  I've barely started on any of them with one month gone already... my parents are pissed.  On top of that, I just play this game (Mabinogi) all day til ungodly hours late at night, and then go to sleep at 6am-ish, and wake up at 6pm to start getting ready for dinner.  Terrible terrible... gotta fix that...... eh.  So there's my summer so far, and my summer plans.

NYC gathering was last Sunday.. Keane (iamk34n3) came to NY all the way from SoCal!  The weather wasn't the greatest, but I think the gathering turned out alright -- especially compared to the people who showed up last time (and compared to the time that Loanshark was the only one who showed..).  I'll get the vid out for that as soon as Loanshark sends me the raw clips.

So the AjisAi mod's gaining a bit of popularity, and so I decided to go and make one since I had the parts lying around..just to try it out.

Also haven't filmed for awhile, so killed two birds with one stone by... 1) testing the mod out and 2) making a warmup vid I guess for the things I have to film for in the near future!  I also used one of AjisAi's linkages in my intro, very fitting, eh? =P



So that's it for the updates.  I'll try to make some more unofficial solos soon, and post here more (oh, and hope you like my new blog design, 'cause I like it a lott).  Thanks for reading to those who still keep up =]!!

Busy Busy

So it's April, aka Hell Month for Asian American students at BC.  Especially with all the classes that I'm taking, there's a lot of final exam preparation on top of all the Asian community things I need to take care of and/or be a part of. 

There's elections going on for the next week or so that will decide who's going to be on next year's E-Board (Executive Board) for each culture club/organization.  For all AHANA students, this is gonna be a really tough, competitive month.  AHANA stands for African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American.

As for myself, I'm running for CSA (Chinese Student Association) E-Board, and going for the AHANA Caucus Representative position.  This position is what connects CSA with all the other AHANA clubs, so as to not have all the clubs be divided by race, by having weekly meetings and seeing what all the other clubs are up to and to try and encourage each person's own club's members to go to them.

Unfortunately for me, this year has some really competitive freshmen who're all very enthusiastic about getting e-board positions like me...and the AHANA caucus rep seems to be a popular one.  I went to KSA (Korean) elections last night to try and get a feel for how things are gonna work on Sunday when I have to give my speech and do Q&A...and the atmosphere was pretty tense.  People are intense when it comes to elections, and there's hardly any joking around.  People are so serious about it that last year, this one girl ran unopposed for a position and still lost cause she didn't get a 2/3 vote.  I mean... this is the first time I've heard of someone running unopposed lose. 

I still have to write up my speech....I haven't written one of those in ages. 
Hopefully though, I'll get the position with the realization that doing so much work to get the position now is all an effort to get the chance to do even more work next year.

Quick Update

I just realized I haven't posted anything here for awhile now (well, ~2 weeks) so I figured I'd give you guys that still follow this a quick update on some things.

For those who don't know, I drank for the first time! Haha, originally, it was just for my friend's 21st birthday but now I'm just drinking socially from time to time now just cause I mean, I already started... lol.  But don't worry, even though everyone's calling me an alcoholic now, I really don't drink that much (just like a beer/shot one night, and I shared some rum and coke with a friend for St. Patrick's Day).  Not close to being drunk at all yet!

And secondly, the unofficial solos are coming out pretty nicely and people seem to like them.  Unfortunately, it's not spreading to other boards like AREZERT's solos do, but hopefully once I get more out, it'll spread (hopefully there'll be enough spinners on UPSB to keep me making solos for that long).  I have 4 out at the moment though: AwonW, teotoko, Pen Ninja, and Resonance, so go check them out if you haven't already! I try to keep them pretty short and to the point, just so that they're like introductions to a spinner's spinning... or I dunno, something like that.

I wish I could film more videos and put them up here...but filming is just so inconvenient in college so sorry guys, I won't be making clips that often.  Speaking of me needing to make clips though... and as a sneak preview to you guys that actually follow this thing... HoT 2nd is in the workings, and will hopefully be out by the end of April.  But SHHH!!!

Next AREZERT

So I started making unofficial solo videos today, though I've been planning to for awhile now.  I feel like when people talk about JEB spinners, and someone hears about a spinner they don't know about, they can go to AREZERT's channel and just look him up and watch their video to know what everyone is talking about.  Or maybe that's just me... Cause whenever I don't know about a JEB spinner, I just look up his unofficial solo by ponkotu to get a sense of his spinning.

Well, I feel like lots of UPSB spinners are unknown to the world, and so I want to spread UPSB out a bit...especially since we're "universal."  So I made this channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/JCUPSB , to put up unofficial solos that I'll be making on UPSB spinners.  And to get it started, I created a promotional video to sort of...represent UPSB.  Hope you enjoy it!

And if you have a request for a solo to be made or would like one made for yourself, just let me know by posting in the comments and I'll see what I can do.
