We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

I haven't been blogging in a while, but it's not because I'm lazy. After walking this past spring, i was mad busy with summer school, living life, Hawaii, and finishing up my last 2 classes of college. With job hunting and reading taking up most of my free time, I finally found some free time for my to just write. Bear with me as I catch all you guys up, and I know it's October, but we're going to go all the way back to June. So please stay tuned...


Until next time, styfrsh

If I would have known the girls next door


If asked about my first memories of the girls next door, my very first thought would be they made us funfetti cupcakes and heart shaped chocolate chip cookies. From there on out, a new friendship was built. These girls were so nice to us; they kept inviting us out to get drunk and play this weird card game. We didn’t know them very well, but they were nothing but nice, inviting, and above all else, they were just really chill girls. It’s been an entire 9 months since we’ve known each other and our friendships have slightly grown apart, but I will always remember the great times we’ve shared.


In no particular order, I’m going to start with Tracy. She’s been one of the ones I stayed close with. She was the glue that held the houses together and through that, was the foundation for the friendships. My first memory of her was when we were out dancing and this girl broke me off. I couldn’t believe what was going on; she is a beast on the dance floor. Outside of that, she’s messy organized, she loves using weird ass Chinese sayings when we talk, and takes boxing so she can get that ass. Overall, she’s awesome!



Next up is Cathy. This girl right here is so special she doesn’t even know it. My fondest memories are super late late night chats in the front of our houses chillin. We once go bitched at by the neighbor for apparently talking to loud. The most recent time a different neighbor invited us in for drinks. There are things said between us that stay between us, and I love that with her. Cathy, you’re amazing, please don’t ever forget that.



Christine is a tough shell to crack. From what I got to know, she’s AIGHT. Not as cool as any of her other house mates, but she thinks she’s the best. I’ve collected this information from Tracy’s and Roxanne’s blogs. All jokes aside, she’s another amazing girl. She’s full of life, quirky, goofy, and if you want, she’ll even teach you to dougie, cat daddy, jerk, and even the shuffle. She’s a John Mayer fanatic, she wants to be Korean, loves her chai, and we share the same favorite dessert in crème brulee, but above all else, God is her #1.



Nancy is hard to catch. Most weekends she heads back home because her family always comes first. I don’t have much to say, she’s tight and super chill. She’s mostly doing her own thing, and that’s tight.


Last, but certainly not least we have Roxanne. I have recently found out she’s dating my frat bro, Mike Baek. It seems to make her happy, but when we first met, the group’s friendship was already on the decline. From what I do know, she’s always smiling.


It’s been an amazing school year. Let’s not worry about what has happened or what will happen, lets just enjoy and preserve the memories we have. I am grateful and honored I got to be your neighbor, you girls are all amazing. Until next time,

We gon' party like it's your birthday!


A week ago today, it was my roommate’s birthday. Jay Yoon, turn 22, goes to Dave and Busters for the first time, and gets super wasted. Getting to know Jay these past 9 months has been an experience to say the least. He’s a very out going guy and is very blunt. He’ll let you know what’s on his mind, but he’s always an honest guy. This one’s for you Jay, I’m glad for the fun times we had this past school year, and I’m hoping for more good times to come.


Of course the entire house showed up.

Patience is a virtue.

Gotta feed the kids.

Bring patient pays off, haha.

Look at how excited he is, I couldn't even capture it he was spazzing so much.

First race of the night, everyone seems pretty stoked.

At this point they want to stop because I just keep kicking ass at all these racing games.

Anger and happiness if I say so myself.

Yeah, it's no big deal. We won some candy, shot glasses, decks of cards, and still had left over tickets.

The sign of an amazing birthday.


Let the memories keep building, until next time,

Don't wanna sound full of myself or rude...


Every time I touch down in LA, I have to hit up all my favorite shops. Most of the time I am out there buying gifts, but I will always pick something up for myself. As you all know, I’ve been into this street culture for a long time and going to LA is such a treat. They have all the stores out there and if it’s hot, they’ll already been on the trend. Enough about me blabbing, here are my recent pick ups from LA…


Hello Kitty Vans for my little sister.

Aren't I a nice big brother?

They look super dope though, great collab.




Stussy x Marvel shirt for my sister's boyfriend Danny. Yes Danny, indeed it's clobberin' time...

Tanks for myself and the entire 4040 house. Only mine are pictured though.

Denim Nike SB socks, Jay actual owns this pair, I just own the socks that looks like them.

Toys from KAWS. They are called the Blitz Keychains.

My tickets to MOCA and Jazz Reggae Festival

Post cards from Banksy.

Lighters from the homies at The Hundreds. Shout out to Umi, thanks for the plug.

Supreme x Bicycle playing cards. Shout out to Val for the hook.

Yes, that is a GIANT ASS mouse pad. It barely fits on my desk, but can't complain when you don't pay.




Thanks for reading my blog and checking out my stuff, I really appreciate it. Until next time,

and I got 'em all buzzin



This past memorial weekend, TimmYAH and I took a little road trip to Los Angeles to spend the weekend. When we head up, it’s always an adventure and filled with fun. This time though, we were looking to have a blast. There were a couple things we wanted to check off on our list. A little bit of shopping, head out to the “Art in the Streets” exhibit at MOCA, and make it out to see Lupe Fiasco at the UCLA Jazz Reggae festival. I didn’t have my camera with me to show you guys the great eats, but I need take a shit load of photos while at MOCA. There’s way too many picture to post so I’ll just show you some of the favorites.



They call me Yogi, at the 4040 house, but this is actual Yogi
