I haven't updated this thing in ages.  But for something as life-altering as this, I figured I should make a post.  I finally cut my hair short like I've been debating about for months. I've never had short hair before...so I felt like I had to try it out at least ONCE in my life...

My friend and I were actually on the way to Chinatown when I freaked out and changed my mind. So we went back home, and a few hours later, I decided to do it (again). I started having second thoughts in the car again...but went through with it anyway. When the hair stylist took the scissors and just cut off a huge chunk, I literally couldn't breath for a few seconds.

  

  

And I might as well upload a few pics of my new room (4-bedroom townhouse in Bucktown).  More pics on my Picasa site: http://picasaweb.google.com/syhuang1/NewHome#
 

  


On a different note...Disturbed is coming to Chicago May 16, 2009!!!  Man I love them so much.  A video in anticipation of the concert ("Remember" is one of my favorite songs EVER):
            

Remember - Disturbed

Remember lyrics Sensation washes over me I can't describe it Pain I felt so long ago I don't remember Tear a hole so I can see My devastation Feelings from so long ago I don't remember Holding on, to let them know What's given to me, given to me To hide behind The mask this time And try to believe Blind your eyes to what you see You can't embrace it Leave it well enough alone And don't remember Cut your pride and watch it bleed You can't deny it Pain you know you can't ignore I don't remember Holding on, to let them know What's given to me, given to me To hide behind The mask this time And try to believe If I can Remember To know this will Conquer me If I can Just walk alone And try to escape Into me

So many pictures from these past couple of months...don't know if it's even worth posting on both facebook AND xanga.    Maybe if I'm really REALLY bored one day I'll make one huge entry.

So pretty and beautiful and romantic...*sigh*  The way this song works is that Soulja released a song featuring Aoyama Teruma about feelings for a girl.  Aoyama then released the same song featuring Soulja about her feelings for the guy.

Koko ni iruyo (I will be right here) - Soulja FEAT Aoyama Teruma



Baby boy, I’ll be right here I’ll be here waiting for you
You know that I love you, so there’s no need for you to worry
No matter how far apart we are, this heart won’t change
You know what I’m trying to say, right?
I’ll be waiting for you

I’m a bit clumsy, and you are far away
While I struggled to tell you how I feel, you were already gone
Now, what remains of you is inside my albums
These days, radio waves are the only way we can meet
But I can’t see your smiles,

Your warmth, the smell of your hair—I can't quench this longing for you
in the days that pass, I desperately searched for traces of you
The road I used to walk with you just echoes with my footsteps now
But more importantly, how are you? Are you taking care of yourself?
Damn it, the words just won’t come out
I’ll send it next time, a letter from me

Baby boy, I’ll be right here I’ll be here waiting for you
You know that I love you, so there’s no need for you to worry
No matter how far apart we are, this heart won’t change
You know what I’m trying to say, right?
I’ll be waiting for you

The way you looked at the beach in Kamakura, how the waves swallowed the words I wanted to tell you
This is really difficult, even though I’m a man--- the words just won’t come out
Do you still remember? When we went to karaoke together
I wanted to say to you those words in the song I sang, just as they appeared on the monitor
I still can’t forget your smile
From the first day we spent, just the two of us – you were cheerful as if we had met coincidentally
I’ve gone on quite a tangent, but you understand, right? What I’m trying to say?
Shit, there’s no more space to write
I’m sorry, I’ll definitely send this next one

Baby boy, I’ll be right here I’ll be here waiting for you
You know that I love you, so there’s no need for you to worry
No matter how far apart we are, this heart won’t change
You know what I’m trying to say, right?
I’ll be waiting for you

If I had more money, or if I had a more serious job
If I could give everything else up, I would definitely, for you…
But please, don’t ever misunderstand, I hate to make you lonely, but…
While I’m busy, we can’t talk much, but baby believe, this is all for our future
But in reality, I want to see you right now, I want to hold you in my arms
The place you used to sit, next to me, is empty now, there’s no one…
Well, that’s not important, that’s not what I’m trying to say
This is coming so late, but I’ll fill it with the words I wanted to say and send you my unsent letter

Baby girl, I’ll be right here I’ll be here waiting for you
You know that I love you, so there’s no need for you to worry
No matter how far apart we are, this heart won’t change
You know what I’m trying to say, right?
I’ll be waiting for you

Baby boy, I’ll be right here I’ll be here waiting for you
You know that I love you, so there’s no need for you to worry
No matter how far apart we are, this heart won’t change
Now I can say it to you straight
I don’t ever wanna let you go

Soba ni irune (I will be by your side) - Aoyama Teruma FEAT Soulja




Even now, I continue to think about you
No matter how much we move,
I'm by your side baby, always
Regardless of how we are separated, you are in my heart
But, being without you is so lonely
So baby please, just hurry back home

Baby boy, I'm right here and I'm not going to leave
You know that i love you, so you don't have to worry
No matter the distance,
this heart is not going to change
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
I am waiting for you.

Instead of saying "mmm","Are you well?" and "are you eating enough?"...
Ah damn't, I can't say it after all
Wait until i send my next letter

Although we can't return the time that has passed,
You are still there for me, and dear to me
Although i understand that the distance with you is so far and that you are so busy,
Sometimes I wanted to run away
But whether my eyes were open, or I was sleeping, I wasn't able to leave you
When I remembered you, I cried

Even now, I continue to think about you
No matter how much we move,
I'm by your side baby, always
Regardless of how we are separated, you are in my heart
But, being without you is so lonely
So baby please, just hurry back home

Baby boy, I'm right here and im not going to leave
You know that i love you, so you dont have to worry
No matter the distance,
this heart is not going to change
Don't you understand what im saying?
I am waiting for you.


I am so awkward when you're far away
And you left before I could tell you how I felt
Now I only have the picture album you left behind

Inside that album, I obtain all of my memories
Day after day I see it and, for a moment, I feel your love
And now I continue to wait for your call
And you call my cell phone at the last moment before I fall asleep
( I want you hold you and be with you)
I won't go anywhere, I am right here
But I want hope to be with you
Hey, You understand, right?
I am waiting

Baby boy, I'm right here and I'm not going to leave
You know that i love you, so you don't have to worry
No matter the distance,
this heart is not going to change
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
I am waiting for you.

I am not going anywhere, I am right here
But I continue to search for your face
Even now I can feel your smiling face as I reach out my hand
It's you

Even now, I continue to think about you
No matter how much we move,
I'm by your side baby, always
Regardless of how we are separated, you are in my heart
But, being without you is so lonely
So baby please, just hurry back home

Even now, I continue to think about you
No matter how much we move,
I'm by your side baby, always
Regardless of how we are separated, you are in my heart
But, being without you is so lonely
So baby please, just hurry back home
