  • Visiting an old club and memories in buffalo

    So i’m here in buffalo, ny visiting my gf and my old club who had their show this past weekend
    http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2331331&id=15712800&l=082efc2427 AASU – Asian American Student Union

    The plot was about a kid name vin who got in trouble the first day of school for vanadlizing a classroom so they wouldn’t have class.  His asian parents make him go to an after school dance club, where learns more about asian culture.

    my gf bullying me even though I came up to visit her till thursday =(

    I’ve been part of this club since my freshman year of college.  Since I grew up in a majority white school, it was always hard for me to fit in with my asian ways.  So when I left for college, I tried to join as many asian clubs my first year to fit in with my crowd of people.  I also kicked up my xanga here and there.   I have to say after 5 years of being part of this club I can’t regret any of it.  Its been tons of drama and work, but there was always fun and a lot of great friends out of this small club.  I helped restore this club when my friend Andrew and his friend tried to revive this club from scratch.

    I’m glad i’ve been part of it ever since,  I was the most dedicated member my freshman year, and always the behind the scenes guy, then my junior year I became secretary of AASU.

    Well I will be back in nyc on thursday I wish it wasn’t raining this week kind of sucks…

    A shoot I did yesterday before it rained…
    This girl molly found me through a bunch of UB people so she wanted some professional shots to use for her future career.

    another shot I edited…

     Listen to a tune of hers...

  • i was raised in a white dominant area too when i was young. when i transferred to san francisco state i tried to join asian clubs too… even without the clubs i made asian friends. it was a nice change of diversity and cool to see a different perspective. i dont talk to that club anymore though after the year i transferred. things changed and i drifted away from it. it was a great experience though and i did make a lot of friends from it who i still hang out with.

  • @sonychak - What is really interesting is that I grew up with white roomates, so I was always battling between the two groups of friends I did try blending them together but it was an 50 50 i still talk to some of them =P

    I’m still pretty white washed but I still trying to learn and fit in

  • I love that picture of you and your girlfriend. haha

  • It’s good to understand your Asian roots, even as an ABC.  Btw, I want those Yoshi slippers.

  • Looks awesome. I’d enjoy watching that. Anyway, I wish I was a better dancer than singer…not that I’m good…I just got to sing a lot of Karaoke. LOL

  • $5 for a show? that’s cheap…you can’t even buy a subway sandwich with $5, not after tax.
