I went to Anime Expo again this year and I got to say, it was pretty fun.

I got lots of great pictures!

Quite cool to listen to

I do not know how these girls are supposed to be

For a silent guy, this guy spoke a lot. Cool guy though.

The spy made me laugh

The hammers were a nice touch

Gotta say, probably the most impressive one I saw that day.

I even went to a panel!

And GASP! I bought some stuff!

I thought it was funny shirt

AND the ride back was great! Jason decided to play Lucky by Britney Spears. Big mistake… or was it?

The entire day was awesome! I guess actually going to panels and shopping can make Anime Expo that much better. (Last year was cool too, its just I was very unfamiliar with the whole thing)

Also Happy July 4rh! Or Independence Day! :]

As you could probably tell from my previous post and a couple of my tweets, I’ve been doing some random things here and there for summer.

Despite going to Six Flags twice this week, hanging with friend, and playing The Sims 3 (I have a wife, 1 teen son, and toddler triplets), I’ve completely neglected my blog. I’ve decided to kick off the summer season of my blog right and relaunch my blog! (Not that it changed drastically, it’s just a new theme with a custom banner). Maybe if I get some help or something I can truly fix up my blog.

Anyways back to the topic of this post.

My parents actually bought a new house!

It's nice

I decided to record and give a little tour (more for myself so I could get my own reactions. Forgive the heavy breathing and fail in opening doors, I was quite excited.

I can’t wait! I want to enjoy this house as much as I can before I go to Santa Barbara!

Well I’ve done it. I’ve graduated and gone to my Grad Night. (It still hasn’t hit me yet)

I guess its summer and now I’ve got some free time!

Guess what I’m doing? (Hint: It rhymes with De Shims Tree)

Tried to make him like me. Do you like my formal wear?

Pretty good, huh?

I’m having trouble choosing my 5 traits though… I’ve narrowed it down… Can you help me choose 5?

Thanks for your input!

The CAMS School year is finally coming to an end… the weird thing is that its finally ALL over…

Despite this sad end, I took some interesting pictures within the past week.

Reflections

Beautiful…

My first time getting triple digits.

Cute

I’m not professional, but I liked these pictures.

This past weekend was fun. There was a bonfire on Saturday, which left me sore (Capture the Flag was taken to another level).

My Sunday was nice to say the least. :]

Only a couple more days until graduation. :[

This video may be a bit over 3 years old, but it still is funny to me everytime.

Happy Mother’s day to all and siblings… put your differences aside for your mothers, she’ll appreciate it!

Sorry this post took forever to post. I had it done, but I just forgot about it. :]

Now for what the Chinese have to say about me. Apparently there are a few things they have to say. I was aware that person not only has an animal sign, but also an element. But I was not aware that there were also inner and secretive animal traits as well. On the outside, I am a Metal Horse. But I am an inner Rooster and secretively a Dragon. This means I am born as a Metal Horse, wish I was a rooster, but really am a Dragon. Crazy, huh?

Okay, so a horse is typically lovable, witty, free-spirit, enthusiastic, independent, creative, optimistic, has a long life. They also tend to be anxious, childish, defiant, selfish, gullible, quick-tempered, rebellious, and talk too much.

Sounds kinda like me I guess… I the negatives seem to be more true. (I was voted child at heart for Yearbook after all)

Metal elemented (is that even a real word?) people tend to be unyielding, rigid, persistent, and full of strength and determination. They are self-reliant and prefer to handle their problems alone. The are also materialists, business oriented, and good at organization and stability. Much like how metal conducts electricity, metal person has strong impulse and can change others around them. Courage and grief are typical aspects of a metal person.

HAHAHAHA, this isn’t me at all! I guess I’m stubborn to a certain extent, but nothing like this!

Despite the fact that I am a “Metal Horse,” I wish to be a rooster. They are acute, neat, meticulous, organized, self-assured, decisive, conservative, critical, perfectionist, alert, zealous, practical, scientific, and responsible. They can also be over zealous, critical, puritanical, egotistical, abrasive, and opinionated.

Actually, this is kinda interesting. I may not be too neat and organized, but the other qualities actually fit! I can get really nit-picky with details, but that’s when I mess around which goes together with kiddy nature.

And as if this couldn’t get any more confusing. Deep down inside, I’m a a dragon. They tend to be magnanimous, stately, vigorous, strong, self-assured, proud, noble, direct, dignified, zealous, fiery, passionate, decisive, pioneering, ambitious, generous, loyal. Although they can be arrogant, imperious, tyrannical, demanding, eccentric, grandiloquent and extremely bombastic, prejudiced, dogmatic, over-bearing, violent, impetuous, brash.

Well that seals it, I actually am a sort of hodgepodge of all these sorts of animals. I guess in the end, this whole Chinese Zodiac thing makes sense.

Conclusion:
Although not 100% accurate, looking into my Name, Astrological, and Chinese Zodiac signs have given me a few insights into my own personality. It’s pretty interesting to see if I actually fit my name and signs. Although in the end, it’s probably me who decides who I am.

I’m a fan of Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I’m okay the game (I can play most songs on expert guitar), but I will NEVER EVER be good as Danny. This guy is absolutely nuts at this game.

He began playing only about a year ago. He holds record for the highest points in a song for the song “Through the Fire and Flames.” Now if you’ve ever played Guitar Hero III, you know that this song is down right next to impossible on expert.

Chris Chike may have claimed the first FC (hitting every note without messing up your streak) of “Through the Fire and Flames,” but Danny has FC’ed the song at least 6 times. (Recorded on camera)

I mean look at that. He’s not even trying!

He’s the only person to FC every single song on Guitar Hero III, DLC included.

The “Constant Motion” solo is something that I can’t play even on the slowest speed in training mode. All I see is a cluster of notes. This guy has FC’ed that as well.

And now, he’s FC’ed Guitar Hero: Metallica. (Note, THE ENTIRE GAME)

Anyone that knows a bit about Metallica knows that this game is filled with insane guitar solos. Many people have gotten the game earlier and claimed some first FC’s. Danny decided to kick it into overdive and FC’ed everything within 2 days of it’s release. The game came out Sunday and he FC’ed the last song “One” just this morning (March 31, 2009).

You can obviously see this is insane.

Was it expected? Yeah. Did that make this achievement any less awesome? HELL NO!

Maybe someday, I’ll be able to FC even the simple songs in Rock Band and Guitar Hero. But for now, I shall just admire.

Some people don't even think I got a haircut until they see a comparison shot

I don’t know why, but it’s always like a 3-6 month period before I get a haircut. It’s not so much that I’m afraid of haircuts as I am busy and lazy. Also to be quite honest, I kinda like having longer hair.

This obviously explains the drastic changes in my hair whenever I get it cut. I’m actually surprised that some people don’t even notice when I get my haircut.

My hair actually went through a lot of changes just over this past 4 years.

Evolution of Andrew Kim (Freshmen - Senior)

Freshmen: This is me as soon as I got into CAMS. Nothing much to say other than I love that ambiguous shirt. Too bad, my mom threw it out or something.

Sophomore: The infamous bowl cut/squinty eyed picture. nothing much to say here.

Junior: Probably my favorite. Too bad I gained weight since Junior year.

Senior: Currently me. At least for the most part.

Lot of things have changed over the past four years, no?

I’ll post Part 3 of “Who is Andrew Kim?” this weekend. Expect random blog post next week as it’s SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!! (For my school anyways)

Now for the zodiac signs. (I am not going to go too much into the origins of the zodiac signs as there is too much to write about)

According to Western Astrology, I am a Libra.

"I balance"

The Libra known as the Scales of Balance and is only astrological sign that is an inanimate object. The Libra trait has air, social, and cardinal qualities.

The air quality is associated with intellect and one’s ability to reason and communicate.

Not bad, being reasonable and smart is nothing bad.

Air is also considered a “positive” (more like an extrovert) and masculine sign. An extroverts simply like to talk and enjoy human interaction. I guess this goes along with the fact that Libras primarily has social concerns over personal and universal concerns. The Libra tends to have social concerns.

Hm… so far, it sounds like I’m also a social whore.

The cardinal sign tends to be forceful and dynamic. They are people of action and leadership. Some cardinal signs can be inconsiderate, controlling, stubborn, selfish and demanding. As leaders, they feel their way is the best and that others should follow.

What? I’m a leader? Either fair and just or mean and demanding? That doesn’t sound right…

Typical positive qualities of a Libra include being co-operative, diplomatic, urbane, fair, needs partnerships, refined, balanced, graceful, charming, debative, just, open-minded, and social. Typical negative qualities include being lazy, indecisive, rationalizing. (The bolded terms are the things I agree with)

According to the stars, I an smart and reasonable leader that is also a social whore. I guess I’m not 100% like a Libra, but there some traits and descriptions that match me spot on.

Sorry this post took awhile to be posted. Hopefully Part 3 will be posted soon. It will be about taking a look at Chinese Zodiac and seeing what they have to say about me.

Perhaps not the smartest thing I’ve done, but impressive none the less. (At least I think so)

Essentially my friend didn’t think I could eat one. I decided to be stupid and see how fast I could eat 10.

Video Description:
“Marcus didn’t think I could eat one. So I one upped by saying I could eat 10 in less than 5 minutes.

This is the first time i ate these Atomic Wings. Let me tell you, I know why they’re called Atomic now and I don’t suggest you do this at all. The willpower and fortitude required to do this is nuts.

It started to really hurt by the 6th one or some. It started to burn REALLY badly.”

Part 2 of “Who is Andrew Kim?” is coming soon!
