Hey, hurry up Ketchup!

SAT, 090228 @ 11:53AM
Hiya Zachary Ryan Chun. Two tomatoes are rolling down a hill. One is fresh and firm, so it rolls quickly. The other is old and mushy, so it rolls slow. The fresh tomato turns to the other and says "Hey, hurry up Ketchup!". Not too funny, but I'm playing ketchup and I'm on schedule once again. How do you like the picture above? That's where everyone takes a photo when visiting Disneyland. They were celebrating their 50th birthday when we visited way back then, which is why you see the big 5-0 next to Mickey. I love you Zach. I love meaningful photos like this that signals a special moment. Anyways. I was so eager to add the image that I decided to post anything to get it up. Oooh, I'm thinking maybe I should have used this photo for my 50th posting?!? That would have been something else. Anyways. I'll post the name and link of the folder I zipped and encrypted later. I've been kinda lagging in terms of 'meaningful posts', so I'll come back later and maybe squeeze in a story. Anyways, son. TTYL!

Hello Zachary Ryan Chun. I figured out what I was going to babble to you about today. Before we get started, lemmie go ahead and post a link to a photo folder. BRB.
051009 Disneyland, Buzz #2

Again, this was just another trip to Disneyland that I won't play by play because I get flustered and angry. It's for your viewing pleasure and it should further prove your mother wrong. Any photo I deem worthy I've been uploading to Picasa and adding to my postings. So, without further ado, drum roll, please...
I don't think I've mentioned to you about my recent memberships to Blockbuster Total Access and Netflix. You pay a monthly fee, and they send you, via postal mail, 3 DVD's at a time. It's given me the opportunity to watch some oldies, but goodies. Of all the different genres out there, my favorite is romantic comedy. Don't share that with anyone. I'm kinda embarrassed to admit it, but it's true. I get emotionally charged up the most whenever a good storyline leads to a happy ending between two people and they live happily ever after. Oh yeah, lemmie do this.
Serendipity - IGIA9. I loved this movie because throughout the entire film, the potentially unknown mystery about a hopeless romance is questioned. Two people who desire a special romance is letting fate and destiny determine their futures. Hints are constantly given as to why they should be together as well as why they aren't together and it is played like a philharmonic orchestra. I think my rating it's a bit biased because I love Kate Beckinsale. Anyways.
As I've been watching classics, I noticed a commonality that is very rare. Many of the movies were based on the novels by Jane Austin. She's some British novelist from way back. Her name is about all I know of her, besides her works. The movies in question are Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, Emma,, and one other one that I can't quite recall ATM. The commonality is that these stories take place close to 200 years ago in Britain and they all somehow depict the lives of the privileged elite. Back then, marriages weren't performed out of love as it should be. Rather, it was a ceremony that allowed people to increase their rank in society. It wasn't as clearly defined and structured as are marriages for Asians. We know this to be arranged marriages. Parents play the role of matchmaker according to one's characteristics without any account for compatibility. Where one was educated, the careers of parents, and total worth was the calculated factors that determined a person's value of marriage. The Brits didn't have the audacity to straight out call them arranged marriages, but it was certainly practiced because one could not marry out of love. This is a very common, reoccurring theme in Jane Austin's work. In the most well known novel, Sense and Sensibility, believe it or not, I've watched four different versions! Two of which were mini-series, lasting close to seven hours. I've told Irene about this blog and I think she reads it. I mention this because her mother, Teresa and I, were trying to figure out where we knew the name Wiloughby from. We're still baffled, but in case you're reading this Irene, tell moms it's from Sense and Sensibility. Because there are four versions, I won't be able to do a IGIA on it. I just got through watching Mansfield Park, so...
Mansfield Park - IGIA9. This is a fantastic love story between two people who can't possibly be together forever. Society won't allow for their joining, so they venture off into two different relationships that seems to make sense. The tragedies of these undesired relationships further strengthen their love for one another. It has that flare of upper British society mixed in with the grief and despair of even the noblest of families. I fell in love with Franny because she was so genuinely real, regardless of what should and shouldn't be. The possible romance that can never be becomes a powerful theme that lingers on til the very end. This is a period piece that cannot be missed because it tells the truth behind how things were.
Emma - IGIA7. This is another one of Jane Austin's classic novels that eventually made it to film. Whereas Gwenith Paltrow's performance was spectacular, the comical and whimsical theme of love and marriage is downplayed too much for it to be cared for. Playing matchmaker and witnessing the flippant attitudes of its supporting cast just makes this film hard to truly engulf yourself in. Too many stories thin out meaning and eventually loses value.
I guess the purpose behind this post was to discuss these somewhat adult, period films. You'll have to be in your 20's to truly understand and appreciate these films, but it is somewhat important to me, so I thought I should share. It's somewhat difficult to understand in its entirety because of the use of Old English, but you'll appreciate how much language was emphasized and practiced. It's rare to find beauty in a spoken word these days, so merely listening to dialogue in these films is pleasant. Hmm. Maybe I should have saved this post for Rachel. Anyways son, parting is such a difficult task when in fact there are hours to be overcome so that we may visit once again. Huh?!? CYA!

Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth.

SAT, 090228 @ 4:20AM
Good Morning, Zachary Ryan Chun. Wow, I have six more links I could be using for photo sets. I haven't been labeling them too well lately, so before I forget, lemmie label this one. This one is called,
050901 Disneyland, third trip, day one.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UFQTEGDW
Back in the fall of 2005, we decided to go on an amusement park adventure with you guys for our family vacation. We spent two days in Disneyland, a day at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, and a day at Legoland. As you can tell from these photos, we are all as happy as can be. Then how and why could your mother file for divorce just two month's afterwards? And how could she marry Richart less than a year later? HOW? I know, she's an animal. I purposely used a 't' to somehow shorten Richard because he's so short. BTW, are you taller than him now, Zach? How about you, Rachel Lauren Chun. Hehehe. I can laugh about his height, or the lack of, for years. He's so damn short. What do you call those people on Lord of the Ring? You know, Frodo? Yes! He's a Hobbit. LOL. Do you guys have special carpenters come over to cut down your chair legs so he can use 'em? I don't hate Richart at all. I'm actually grateful that he took your bitch of a mother off my hands. Maybe he doesn't hear as much down there. We are speaking at a level he just can't associate with. Hmm. Maybe that's it. I love you Richart, like I love Frodo. Everybody loves Frodo the Hobbit. Anyways. Again, I neither have the patience or the heart to do a play by play of these photos. Just keep in mind that we had this fantastic time together for four straight days, but your mother files for divorce right after. Hmm. It's funny how the world turns. I am asking you to clear your mind of all the lies and deceit that your mother has fed you over and over. Look through these photos slowly, one at a time, and decide for yourself. The truth will set me free. That's it for today. Hopefully, I'll be able to properly catch up this weekend. Bye for now.
SAT, 090228 @ 4:42AM

That'll be all pig.

FRI, 090227 @ 5:56AM
Good morning, Zachary Ryan Chun. We're almost there to Friday (well technically, it is Friday since I'm posting this a wee bit late.) The photo above is from a display at Universal Studio's Tour celebrating the great movie, Babe. Look how you have your hands on him making him look like he has bangs. Ahh, that reminds me...
Babe - IGIA 9. This is a terrific movie that shows the wonders of the human spirit on many levels. The innocence of a baby pig questions how and why things are the way they are and makes us wonder about life and its quirky twists and turns. The humor and impossibility of a talking pig is dismissed as we dive into his life and all that surrounds him on a simple farm. It builds up to a sheep herding competition and of course, it has a fairy tale ending. A must see.
Hmm, that was a rather unexpected turn of events. I wasn't expecting to do a movie review. I see the photo and...WHAM! Anyways. I'm still on my Amusement Parks folder, so here's the link:

These family outings make it very difficult for me to do any sort of play by play. I guess I'm posting them for your viewing pleasure. Bah, humbug. I'm in a crappy mood. Til next time.

Can I get a RAWR?!?

WED, 090225 @ 3:08AM
Hello Zachary Ryan Chun. Isn't this a cute picture of you? Oh no! The lion ate Zach! Look at how you're posing too. Too funny. Trust me, we had a very good time that day. I think I had more fun than you, watching you. Anyways. The photo set being uploaded right now is that of Our very first Disneyland as a family. This is when that cute picture of you and your sister were taken. It's hard to believe that just two months afterwards, your mother filed for divorce. What do you expect from animals? I hope these photos at least make you wonder why because I still don't know why. Your mother hasn't given me the decency of a conversation. She can't tell you why because she's a whoring dog. Yeah, that's right. You're a dog. A bitch. Damn dog. Anyways, ignore all that because she no longer means anything to me. My anger stems from the fact that you guys are being punished for her friggin behavior. Why are we being kept apart? Ask that bitch and learn to hate her for what she's doing to you both. (Oh, and if you're reading this short man, F you. I'll talk down however I feel. FUMF.) Anyways. Enough anger for today. Sorry Zach. I go through these photos and keep wondering why. Learn to hate her for what she's done to us because that will be my sweetest revenge. You have them now, bitch, but they'll realize the truth and love their father. You'll die an old maid just like your moms, bitch. Oh sorry. Is she dead already? F you Esther. DIE! OK, OK. No mas. Evade crap. Evade...
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F4J0BRSO
It's finally ready. I hope you enjoy this set. It was somewhat memorable. Anyways, I vented a bit too much today. I'm all pissed thinking about that damn animal and don't feel much like continuing. I know you understand me Zach. Have a nice rest of the week. TTYT!
WED, 090225 @ 4:20AM

Who says having too much fun ain't OK?!?

TUE, 090224 @ 5:24AM
Good Morning, Zachary Ryan Chun. It's me again, Jason Chun. How are you this fine morning? Wait, is that you on Thomas the Tank Engine?!? Why, yes it is! Look how happy you are. Just because you're riding Thomas! Yae! Wa-hoo! Ride 'em cowboy. Yee-haw! LOL. Again, I'm just going through the folders alphabetically, so chronology's gonna be way messed up. I'm not too concerned about that. I'm just happy every time I pull up a good photo of you or us or Rachel Lauren Chun. Do you remember that day at Legoland? Probably not. That's what these photos are for. To remind you of all the too much fun we use to have. Can you believe this was just two months before the divorce? What a friggin animal. I'm sorry Zach, but your mother is an animal. Like a dog. Oh wells. That's the way the cookie crumbles, I suppose. I just hate the fact that she's dragging you guys down with her. Sorry, but I can't help it. I made the mistake many years ago for sympathizing with an animal. Felt sorry for her, you know. Ask me about this in private and I'd be glad to prove to you how much of an animal she really is. As much as I love telling you the truth, I kinda don't like it at the same time because it leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. Remember why you avoid crap, son. I should too. Blah. Anyways.
Upload's gonna take awhile, BRB.

Hello. It was taking so long, I just decided to come back to it way, way laters. This is how we spent the day there. I tried taking you to all of the venues that I thought you'd like. Every time we saw a dinosaur, I clicked a shot. I'm getting that sick to my stomach again, Zach. You know, the one where I think about what a friggin animal your mother and her whole God damned family is. Sorry. GTG.

Let the Adventures Begin!

MON, 090223 @ 8:58PM
WHEEEEE!!!! Hello, Zachary Ryan Chun. It's your dad, Jason Chun. How are you? Wheeee! I don't know where you learned to raise your hands during a roller coaster ride, but you learned it and it's something you did often. The picture above is from a school field trip to Adventure City. Antioch asked parents to attend so that we could help keep an eye on you guys. I chose the photo above because it described the day quite accurately. It was an adventure. I'm waiting for the folder to upload, so I'll copy-paste once it's ready. I kinda figured out how I'm going to continue on with these photo folders. I'm simply going to go through all of my photos alphabetically and zip and upload as they appear. Thus, you are now seeing "Adventure City" of folder "Amusement Parks". I'm not going to post any folders with your mother because if you want to see animals, you can go to a zoo. Oh, no! I've got some kinda bad news. If you're reading these words, this news isn't bad at all, but for now, it's bad. Google search results don't remain for some reason. At your best, you were results 1-7, but today, you are only 1-3. Oh no! Darn these SEOs. I also Google Rachel Lauren Chun, Jason Chun, and Jason T. Chun. Nothing relevant worth mentioning. Do you remember what today is? The drawing for My Coke Rewards! They don't announce the winners online, so I'll just have to wait, I suppose. I guess they will be making contact with me if I win, but it's late at night, so I don't think I won. Ah, but do you remember what to do in situations like this? Yes, the glass is always half full. Be positive and optimistic about everything in life and things will always turn out for the best. Keep your chin up, son. The sun will shine bright tomorrow. Uh, maybe I'm really talking about my chin. Anyways, you get the idea. Oooh, I think I'm ready. BRB.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2G7VW2OY
Ta-dah! It's only one folder of the day's events, so I don't have anything more to add here. I seriously doubt you even remember the day. It was so long ago when you were so young. I don't remember most of your friends names and you probably don't either. Brenda, Thomas' mom, is about the only person I know. I miss her more than your mom. I wonder how she's doing...I'm excited to go through more photos so I'll say goodbye for now. Goodbye for now.

How Top Chun came to be.

SUN, 090222 @ 9:03PM
Hello again, Zachary Ryan Chun. This is your father, Jason Chun. You do remember me, Jason Chun, don't you? I usually go by Jason T. Chun, but for the sake of SEO, I'm going to use Jason Chun over and over again. Is it ok to use Jason Chun? I hope you don't mind me using Jason Chun. That was my name for about a year. I am now Jason T. Chun. What does the 'T' stand for you ask? Well, sit back and allow me to tell you a little story...
Way back in 1987, your grandfather made tons of money. We were living in a cruddy, 2 bedroom apartment in the Los Feliz area at the time. He made so much money, that he decided to buy a home in Torrance, about 30 miles south. He drove all of us over and announced, "Do you like this house?". We answered, "Of course we do, but it's kinda big, don't you think?". "Well, congratulations, it's our home now!". "Really, dad?". "REALLY?" We couldn't believe it. From a small, 700 square foot apartment to a huge, four bedroom, 2000 square foot house. WOW! We were all thrilled. I was 16 or so at the time. I used my Korean name, Jee Hoon, at King Junior High School in Los Angeles. None of the teachers could properly pronounce my name, so it was frustrating. I figured, once I changed schools, it would be easy to start with an American name. What name should I give myself, I thought. Your grandfather once brought home two key chains while we were living in Tennessee. One said, "Cindy" and the other read "Robin". I thought Robin was a cool name because that was Batman's sidekick's name. I didn't know at the time that Robin was a girl name too. Anyways, just before we made the move, I decided to name myself Jason. There weren't any Jason's at King and I thought it was an unique name I would appreciate. At my first day of school at Newton Middle School, there were four other Jason's in my English class. OH NO! It is a very common, white name but I didn't know this so I became another Jason of many. Anyways. The house that your grandfather bought us was right next to the Torrance Airport. Every day after school, I would see the actual pilots in the cockpits flying by because they were so close. I was intrigued by this and decided to drive over one day. I pulled into the parking lot of Rolling Hills Aviation because they had a sign that read "Learn to Fly - $20". Hey, I have 20 bucks. Let's check it out. As I climbed up the stairs, I noticed the rattling of the venetian blinds. They were watching me from the parking lot getting out of my brand new BMW 325. That'll be another story. Anyways, as soon as I got in, someone grabs my arms and leads me out the back into a Cessna 152, a small, two-seater, single engine land propeller aircraft. I didn't even have a chance to ask how much it would cost, how long it would take, or what was involved. He practically threw me into the plane and off we went. The biggest difference between a commercial jetliner and a small, single engine prop. is speed. Commercial jets have to fly fast because of the weight, but a single engine prop., you can actually pull around alone. I went up for the first time in this small aircraft and immediately fell in love. You can see all around you and because you're flying so slowly, you can enjoy the view. We landed, and I was in love. I couldn't believe how awesome the experience was and definitely wanted to get my pilot's license. I told them I would talk it over with my dad and get back to them as soon as I can. I was told that it would cost $2,500 if I was a quick study and that it would take about 3 months. That was kind of expensive, but I decided to ask grandpa anyways. I also thought that he would definitely say no because it's so dangerous. I asked him that night at the dinner table because he was in a good mood. "Uh, dad. Can I take pilot lessons?". He looked over to me and asked, "Pilot lessons?". Uh-oh. Here comes the terrible answer. "Sure, why not!". He didn't even ask how much it was going to cost or anything. I wanted it, and he was more than glad to oblige. "Really, dad?". I was in shock and very, very happy. The next day, I went back to RH Aviation and began my lessons. They bombarded me with rules and regulations and I was overwhelmed. We got back into that Cessna and for the first 12 hours of flight training, all we did were touch and go's. You see, anyone can fly a plane. Even you now, at your age. There are no roads or markers you have to fly by. You can go up or down or side to side as you wish. The hard part is landing. Sure, anyone can fly a plane, but can you land it? That's what a touch and go is. You fly in an airports traffic pattern and practice landing over and over again. I think my instructor said I was ready after about 12 hours of flying. I taxied back to RH Aviation, he jumped out, and wished me luck. I taxied back to the landing strip all by myself and anxiously awaited the tower's instructions. He told me I was cleared for takeoff, so at the end of the runway, I pushed in my throttle and off I went. My instructor forgot to tell me one little detail. He weighed about 250 pounds, so without him in the plane, it flew very, very differently. I shot straight up during takeoff and it freaked me out. With so much weight missing from the planes total weight, the aircraft behaved very differently. I flew back into the traffic pattern and made a perfect landing. I taxied myself back to RH Aviation. When I ran back into the office, everyone there congratulated me for successfully completing my very first Solo. It's tradition to rip the shirt off your back in order to write down and record the event. My instructor began to write ' On this day...". He paused just before my name and asked, "Hmm, what nickname should we give you?" Well, back in 1987, the movie that rocked everyone one in their boots was TopGun. I thought for a sec, and right on that spot, I blurted out, "What about Top Chun?!?". "That's a great name. I hereby declare you, Top Chun". That name has stuck ever since. It's my legal name, you know. Jason Top Chun. I got my pilot's license about a year later. I have a few good stories I want to share with you, but now is not the time. For now, revel in the birth of Top Chun and know that your father is a licensed, single engine, land pilot. TopChun, baby! That's how I was reborn. Hope you liked it. TTYT!

I'm not behind. I'm a head.

SUN, 090222 @ 8:36PM
Hello, Zachary Ryan Chun. I was thinking about the ways in which you would finally find me when it occurred to me that you might do a Google search for me. I've been terribly worried about you and your sister's Google results that I completely forgot about my result. Nothing comes up for Jason Chun. I'm pretty well covered under Jason T. Chun. So, I'll have to start using my name without the middle initial, Jason Chun, so that I can be found. Or rather, so that you can find this blog. How was your week, son? I hope all is well with you. All I can do is just hope for the best. I've pretty much run out of pictures to post to this blog, so I started using Rachel Lauren Chun's selections. Above is a photo of you guys as power rangers. I'm not sure which is which, so I won't try. Well, maybe I will. You are the red power ranger and Rachel is the, uh, blue power ranger? Maybe I shouldn't have tried. Anyways. Do you remember all of the different series of Power Ranger? Here's my attempt. There's Ninja Storm, Mystic Forces, SV something, and uh, that's about all I remember. I think there was a Dinosaur Power Ranger, wasn't there? You'll have to forgive me for not knowing all of my Power Ranger's. Test me when we see each other again. You do remember my name, don't you Zachary Ryan Chun? It's Jason Chun. He he he. Yup, Jason Chun. The top search result for Jason Chun is some imdb character on some television series called Lipstick Jungle. I should be honored, I guess. They used Jason Chun as a character name on television. That's kinda funny, don't you think? That Jason Chun is a television character. Hmm. Jason Chun. Too funny. If you haven't noticed, I'm a day behind in my postings. Oh, no! The travesty! I'll try better to keep up, I promise. It's going to get so much harder once July 2nd rolls around because I'll have to post twice, once for Zachary Ryan Chun, and again, for Rachel Lauren Chun. I guess we'll cross that bridge once we get to it. For now, don't think of be as being behind, but rather a head. I want to catch up, so I'll post again with a story of how my middle name came to be. For now son, goodbye.

Zachary Ryan Chun loves dinosaurs!

SAT, 090221 @ 12:32AM
Hey, hey Zachary Ryan Chun. Hello, son. Today is the day after the big 5-0, and as promised, I'm posting a link to the Word doc for this blog.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E2OR5CF9
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DU5S1X2E
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=33YO797K
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=688QZ9WS
The three links following are pdf files of the blog that I managed to save for myself just in case anything terrible were to happen. The Firefox add-on that allows me to save as pdf files errors when I try to save the entire blog, so I saved it into three sections. Under 'edit' for blog, I change the number of postings visible from 100 to 17. 17 x 3 = 51, so it's equivalent. This is kind of a silly practice because the only way to view these links is if you can view the blog. Well, if you can view the blog, then why post links to other formats? Number one is .doc, and the latter three is pdf. It's pretty silly, isn't it? HW! The .doc file is 114 pages, but in order to save paper and the earth, I want you to play with the margins to minimize the total printed pages. In the .pdf files, you can set the number of pages per print from 1 to 2. I want you to figure out both and get back to me pronto. Flipping through pages is a lot different than scrolling up. Use these links to download these copies and print them out and read it again in one sitting. Trust me, you'll have a different feeling towards the blog in its entirety. Anyways...
I added the image above because I really liked your smile. Very naturally happy. You're also playing with dinosaurs which is another thing that makes me happy. You loved dinosaurs second to Thomas the Tank Engine and in the photo, you're playing with them. I love this picture. I went through about a dozen folders from the many visitations I had with you guys. I've got my beard rolling pretty thick and I don't ever want to embarass you in any way, so there weren't too many photos I could use for post headings. I've got a few good images, so we'll see. I got those photos from this blog that I printed through York today. I hit the option to place white borders around the photos, but they don't reduce the size of the photos. Rather, they simply add borders so some of the photos are severly messed up. I'm so glad about that order that I'm going to go sweep the patio and flip through them again, even though I've seen them many, many times as I've been blogging. BRB.
Love it, love it. I could look at these photos over and over and over again. I didn't realize that I was putting together an album of my favorite photos of you. It just kinda happened as the total number of photos reached almost 30. It's kinda funny how companies are giving away 30 free photos to advertise their services. So far, I've gotten free printed photos from CVS, Snapfish, and York. Anyways. Oh yeah, the photo folders from our visitations had in them many, many large video clips as well. I'm going to have to figure out some way to seperate them. I drove Hang Ah's dad to the airport tonight. We had dinner at your Aunt's house in Yorba Linda tonight. He asked me if he should look into me being an English tutor in Korea. I told him that I would love the opportunity because it'll give me a chance to see you guys. Relying on those damn animals to be civil is laughable. I know they'll never make contact with me because they're animals. I love you both very much and I'm in agony every day because they are keeping you guys away from me. I'll post any new developments as they occur. Everything will have to be placed in the back burner if I can go to Korea just to see you guys again. Fuck them damn animals. I hate them all. Until next time...

The 50th Posting!!!!

TH, 090219 @ 11:51PM
Hello Zachary Ryan Chun! This is the 50th posting!!! Yae!!! I've been dwelling all day as to how I was going to celebrate our big day. I should have something special in terms of photos or something, but I couldn't help feeling lonely because I haven't seen or spoken with you and your sister for months now. I'm using Halloween as the last time I saw you BTW. 50 days and two months. Poo. Even though this should be some sort of celebratory day, I can't help feeling hatred and anger towards those damn animals that is keeping us apart. Therefore, in order to properly express my feelings towards you, I decided to tell you a story. The story of the infamous Bae sisters. You ready? Here goes.
In Pusan, there lived a very well known, very popular family called the Bae's. It's probably where you are at now. The head Bae owned an entire mountainside, so he decided to open up a nursing home for neglected elders many years ago. He had eight children. The first six were all females, and your grandma, the queen animal, grandma Esther, was number 6. Six children and six daughters. Back in those days, there was nothing more important than having a son as a child to carry on the family legacy. Being the greedy bastard that he was, he wasn't going to stop until he had a son. Well, the seventh child happened to be a son and they were twins. Don't listen to their lies about your grand uncle being dropped by a nanny. LOL. He was born a retard but they'll never admit that. He's a friggin retard who can't even dress himself. The problem with this family was that every single sibling thought she or he was better than everybody else. That's why of the six sisters, five of them are divorced at least once. I don't even know how many of them are divorced more than once. I don't think they know either. The only sister that isn't divorced lives here in the states. Her husband said sternly, "If you keep in touch with your siblings, I'll divorce you." In order to lead a normal life, she cut off all ties to all seven of her siblings and lives happily in Santa Barbara. The oldest grand animal is a pastor. At least that's what they told me. She had three children from her first marriage. All of a sudden, she has another kid, whom they named Esther BTW, and she starts to ignore her own kids. Last I heard, Esther is here in the states married to a famous pastor's son. They don't know she's a bastard child, of course, because that's how those animals roll. Grandma Esther hates the fact that they named her Esther. LOL. ROFL. Anyways, her children were so ignored by the head animal that they don't even speak to or see her. Poor bitch. The second animal had some kids with one dude and moved to Brazil with another dude. I don't know her well. Just that she's an animal like the rest of them. The third animal use to live here. She's probably dead now, but she wasn't able to have children of her own so she divorced many times. She use to keep a dog that she treated like her own child. That's not as funny as it use to be since they're all animals. Then there's the fourth animal. She use to live here too. Supposedly, she remarried a frail whiteboy named Dave out of sympathy because he has cancer or something like that. I think it was for her passport if you ask me. That bitch never really loved or cared for David. Anyways. Then there is the fifth animal. She's the one that cut off ties to her animal siblings in order to save her marriage. She's the only one who never remarried. Funny, don't you think? Lastly, we have the Queen Animal herself, Esther. This is where things turn juicy and interesting. Watching all of her sister's fail at marriage and love, she's determined to do exactly the opposite. She falls for some loser on a motorcycle and goes against everybody to have a child with him. Your mother. He starts to ignore Esther when she's pregnant with your mom cuz he's an animal like that. When she's finally born, your mother that is, he stops talking to her and keeps on riding. Esther is determined to make something of herself, so she somehow sells off her entire inheritance so that she can open up a cafe in Ap Guh Jung Doh. LOL. What a sad bitch. Supposedly, she was swindled by contractors and lost her mind. The truth is, she started shooting up heroine even though she was a new mother. She leaves her child with her sisters in Pusan and parties it up in Seoul. Your mother thinks Esther was hospitalized, but she was in motel rooms shooting it up and screwing contractors, being the animal that she is. Your mother didn't even know her mother for the first three years of her life because Esther was off in the big city getting high. Well, when she was 3, Esther ran over to the US and married anyone that she could. Your mother's had 6 or so siblings through three or four marriages. I found out about Esther's heroine addiction about ten years ago. I was showering at your mom's condo in Glendale. When I got out, she brought be a box filled with needles and spoons. She was too dumb to know what it was, but it was quite obvious to me what it was, so I told her to just put it away. Well, about 4 years ago, Esther was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and she has one foot in her grave. She's fighting for her life as we speak. Stay away from her because it's contagious. You guys could get it if exposed to her blood. Be very careful and stay away from that damn drug addict. Your mother use to tell me how much she hates all of her aunts. Why? When she was little and pretending to be asleep, they use to all tell Esther to just dump her somewhere so that she could start a real family. Ha! That's kinda hard, with her being the Queen animal and all. Oh yeah, about the twin brothers. The retard is retarded, so he's suffering just by living. He ended up marring a neighborhood whore because she knew he was going to inherit lots of money. The other brother is resentful and filled with hatred because he was second to appear, so he's not getting much. That's the short version of the famous Bae sisters. It gives me pleasure just talking about them because they have made their own lives insufferable and they all live with pain because they are animals. I want the world to know this juicy secret because it is a rarity amongst Koreans. Well, maybe not for Korean animals. Take care son, and have a nice rest of the week. As always, I love you.

A Tax Lien?!?

WED, 090218 @ 11:38PM
Hello Zachary Ryan Chun. Yae! Today is the 50th posting eve! This is the 49th big post, and tomorrow will be number five-O. Are you excited? I got another credit card today. That's number 3. Yae! The reason why I'm getting these cards is to build my credit once again. As I was checking my credit reports, I noticed a friggin tax lien for $27,000. Supreme Animal Esther, not only stole my home from under me, she managed to forge my signature and placed a tax lien on me. She is some work, that Esther. I shouldn't get overly excited since she is being herself and all. The Supreme Animal. Damn them Bae's. I still haven't gotten around to sorting photos yet, so I don't have a set to post today. Sorry. Don't worry. You'll have access to all of my photos sooner or later. How is your week going, son? I hope all is well with you. I miss you very much. I just want to talk with you and ask how things are. Why can't I talk to my son? Friggin animals, I tell ya. They are all friggin animals. I get so riled up whenever I speak about any of them. Anyways, sorry to cut this post off too early, but I'm friggin pissed at that pack of animals you are being forced to live with. Don't worry son, we'll be together again, far away from those damn animals. Have a nice week.
WED, 090218 @ 11:51PM

I have 30 free prints I need to order.

TUE, 090217 @ 2:50AM
I got 30 free prints from SnapFish for trying out their services. Another company, York, is offering the same. The 30 best photos are the one's I've added to this blog. The image above is photo number 26. I have 4 more I've been waiting to add, but I'll use them now for this York offer. That, plus a little guilt from just awhile ago is making me pre-post anything. CYA! Oh, BTW, Hang Ah's dad's coming over tomorrow. Tell you about everything as soon as I can. Goodnight son.
TUE, 090217 @ 2:55AM

TUE, 090217 @ 10:30PM
Well, hello there, Zachary Ryan Chun. Wow, today was a long day indeed. When Hang Ah's dad was here like 15 years ago, we had a mixup at the airport. I was trying to pick him up and all hell broke loose. Oh, it was a mess. This time, to avoid such a tragedy, I left early. Way too early! I thought I was being extra cautious because it rained all morning. Well, when I got on the freeway, the sun started shining. Absolutely no traffic. I ended up waiting three whole hours at the airport for him. It serves me right I suppose. My sister, your aunt, came over with Thomas and Alec to say hello. I fell asleep, so she took him to his hotel in downtown LA. Ouch. I know my mom was pissed cuz your aunt has to be up at 4:30 in the morning for her school. Oh wells, that's the way the cookie crumbles. He just wanted to come over and say hello to my father since he's not in the best of conditions. We're all going over to your aunts house on Friday for a farewell dinner. Nothing to report in terms of ZandR. Oh wells. I told him about it, but he wasn't even nibbling on the bait. Just another hurdle. To be continued...
I haven't had the time to sort and upload any photos for your viewing pleasure today. I'm kinda in that impossible hump of trying to find more. Give me time, I'll come up with something. The York order mentioned above finally went through. I had to pay $2.60 for shipping, but the order was free. It's kinda hard to get happy about it since you've already seen almost all the photos. Regardless, I'm extatic because it is an album of my favorite person in the whole wide world, Zachary Ryan Chun. Have I mentioned this flatscreen to you yet? Circuit City is closing its doors, so they are having a major blowout. I grabbed an LC 19" LCD monitor for $146. What a great price! I've been testing it heavily by playing WC on it. The report isn't ready, I'll have to do more testing. Anyways son, I just wanted to elaborate on this rather short posting. I think this latter babble is helping me get away with it. Let me see...Oh yeah, I got another credit card today. Yae! I'm on my way to financial freedom. Next time I see you, if you want something, I'll be able to buy it. Promise. Same goes for Rachel Lauren Chun. Anyways, I'll end it today by whispering a very secret secret...shh..(looking around)...you ready? I love you! Have a nice day son.
TUE, 090217 @ 10:44PM

Admittance of guilt, to lessen the punishment.

TUE, 090217 @ 1:18AM
Hello Zachary Ryan Chun. The photo above was taken when you were 6 weeks shy of your second birthday. It ws during a church Thanksgiving luncheon in the parking lot. LOL. I opened the image to better see what you were holding with the right hand, and oh, my! You have food all over your face. Oh, no! Sorry I even let that happen. With your left hand, you're holding that ice cream prank toy. I added the image because it gave me such a warm feeling. So how are you, Zach? Oooh, its been awhile since I googled you guys. BRB
Poo. Ryan Chung's facebook page took the number 7 spot. Oh, and for the FIRST time, I noticed that Google lists the number of visits immediately following the page title. I should stop clicking on those links to get the color right...Oh yeah, BRB.
Rachel Lauren Chun is ranked 1-4, and 6. 1-6, & 8. Ahh, this is the way I will play by play the search results page from here on out.
Oh darn, Zach. I had this huge epiphony earlier that I had to post. I forgot it now. Darn. BRB, too miffed to go on peacefully.
EUREKA! Whew, I did it. Darn I was so scared at one point. Brrr. I thought of two other things to talk about so I'll list them first before I forget.
Who Killed the Electric Car? - IGIA9. This documentary is about events that unfolded about 15 years ago. The title is perfectly accurate. An electric vehicle, the EV1, was produced by GM in the early 1990s and someone killed it. The facts behind this documentary is overwhelmingly factual. It shouldn't have happened, but it did, and it matters more today than it did back then. This one you must see. RULE: Any film IGIA 9 or 10, you have to see. I don't IGIA R-rated movies, so any film I review, you can watch them. Moving on...
I learned fairly late in life, to break off from traditional math when it comes to simple equations. You may already know how to imagine a simple multiplication equation, such as 8 x 11. You imagine the 11, place the 8 below that, and begin solving. 8 times 1 is 8 and 8 times 1 is 8. 88. The next example is just as simple. 99, right? Sure it is. But how about the next example. 10? We can't really do what we just did, but we know the answer is 110. Whenever multiplying by 10, 100, 1000, and so on, you just move the 0 over. So, we had 11, move the 0 and now we get 110. Here is the point of the lesson. What is 11 times 11? You can't solve by imagining it like it was learned to you. What can you do? This is what I do. Always reduce one of the numbers you're working with to a factor of 10. You know, the numbers above. 10, 100, 1000, and so on. There should be a name for these numbers. HW! (In case you forgot, HW stands for homework and the exclamation point means "do it!") Reducing one of the numbers to 10, you can figure out 11 times 10 just by moving the zero over. 110. What do you have left? A 1? A 1, and what else? Times 11! YES! You didn't just push aside a 1, but also the times 11 as well. Well what is a number times 1? That number, yes! 11! Now add that to the 110. The answer is 121.
Heres the HW. Write an excel file with these numbers. For example, on worksheet one, you will have 0-10 on the first row and 0-10 down the first column. Use the formula =A2*B1 for cell B2, =A3*B1 for cell B3, =A4*B1 for cell B4, and so on. Here is a simple analysis. Look at the formula, '=A2*B1'. The only changing variables are the number following A and the letter that precedes 1. =A2*C1, =A2*D1, =A2*E1, =A3*B1, =A3*C1, =A3*D1, and so on. Look at the inside sections. 2C, 2D, 2E, 3B, 3C, 3D. Do you get it? Do you even know excel? Oooh, want me to teach it to you? I would love to be your Excel coach. It's my second most favorite application in the whole wide world. Continuing on. On the second worksheet, change the numbers in column A from 0-10, to 11-20. 21-30 for the next, and so on. 100 should be the last number, so you should have a workbook with 10 worksheets. Label the worksheets 10s, 20s, 30s, and so on. If this is too advanced for you, we will revisit this post when appropriate. (I just added the post label, HW. )
That's funny how I'm looking at your photo above and speaking with you about documentaries and math. Anyways, here is the dumb reason for this posting. I was thinking about the number that increases with every post. 1-31 was easy. The date was the number of the posting. In February, depending on the date, I simply added it to 31. I guess I'll have a new number to add to the date in March. The point is, in all my years, I have never, ever looked at the days of the year ordinally. The dates all reset at 31 or less every month. Because of this blog, I'm looking at the days of this year, ordinally. Uh, today (the 16th) is the 47th day of 2009. Wow, huh? It's something rather simple to do to a very well known, common number. The date, converted to the ordinal day of 2009. The 47th day is very different than February 16. I will be celebrating the 50th day, but certainly not February 19. Another epiphony! I can only post the link for the grouped set on the day following the marked day so that that day's posting is included in the word doc. Wow, today is an especially nerdy day, eh? Oh, about the title. I am writing this post and posting to yesterdays date and time for the FIRST time. Circuit City is closing and we went on a LCD rampage. Anyways, son. I'll lay off the HW for a few days. Promise. Have a nice week, son.
TUE, 090217 @ 2:43AM

Oh yeah, I did that thing a while ago.

SUN, 090215 @ 1:23AM
Good morning Zachary Ryan Chun. "I'm sorry I lied, I'm number one-two-three-four-five-six and seven." Ouch, without the rhyme, it doesn't seem to work. How about, "Check out my optimization. I'm number one-two-three-four-five-six and seven." Eeh. Whatevers. I haven't picked the image to add yet. I just had to officialize the link:
http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my;_ylt=AijvgRUpT.6WTIX.KiNxKlXpy6IX;_ylv=3
For whatever reasons, I started contributing to Yahoo Answers a while back. I've given some decent answers, so to know me better, I suppose, you can check out the link. It's more, the textbook side of me. I think that's how I expressed myself. Q's and A's with textbook facts. I think. It was a while ago.
Time out. A perplexing dilemma surfaced. The photo above is from a set that was misplaced under the folders titled 'Song's'. For some odd reason, I had forgotten if I added this folder to that upload. So what am I doing to remedy this potential dilemma? I'm downloading the zip file. It was only 30 MB, so I got lucky. 85%. Gonna go sweep.
Okay, good. I think John became an Elder or something. I took notice of it while organizing through set #4 in your folder. That reminds me, all of these downloads will have the appropriate Picasa folder file as well. We've only done your folder, so that's not saying much. I did start a new folder entitled 'Zachary Ryan Chun - Misc' I found a bunch of Lego instruction booklets that I scanned earlier. That, plus your Ben 10 files forced my hand. Oh yeah. I pondered for a bit as to why I was posting this. The Yahoo Answers. Oh yeah. Wow, that reminds me. I have to go hunting down a set for this post. Darn. I'm fresh out and I don't know how successful I'll be at pickin' up a worthy set. Stay tuned. TTYL!
SUN, 090215 @ 1:58AM

RAWR! Zachary Ryan Chun is a T-Rex!!!

SAT, 090214 @ 8:57PM
Hiya Zachary Ryan Chun. Don't be scared. This is your best rendition of the fearless Tyrannosaurs Rex. Eeew! Run for it! LOL, look at how you have your claws all ready and waiting too. Classic. Top 10 for sure. As promised, I finally found your missing Dohr folder. There's probably more, but this is the set that pretty much dominates. I'll have to do a play by play as we wait for the Megaupload link. Here goes...
img30 - This is the picture that sums up how happy you were that day. I don't know if it was that big peach you're smiling at, or the hundreds of people that showed up to celebrate your dohr. Regardless, it was a very happy day.
img162 - This is the group photo with the grandparents. In case I never told you, John is not your blood. He is a stupid free-loader that married Esther in his 40s. He was the only dude to never hit her, so she loves him. I had to tell you this so you don't think you have any of his stupid genes. He and his whole family are stupid country bumpkins, but rest assured. you are not related to him in any way. Whew. Aren't you glad? I think John is husband number, uh 4? Hell if I know. Ask Esther, but she probably doesn't know either. Her being the queen animal and all.
img166 - Oh wow. I don't know why this photo is in this set, but this is us visiting your mom after Rachel's birth. You can tell by the date stamp and the balloons that your uncle Eric is holding in the background.
img328 - This is a good picture with your aunt and uncle along with Alec. I decided not to do a play by play on the visitors I snapped because they're all fake Christians. Every last one of them need to feel like they're doing good. I spit on Christianity. I'll discuss this with you in private.
Oh wow. Now, I know for sure there is another folder somewhere. I was eagerly waiting for that photo where you picked up a object for your dohr, but it never showed. I'll talk about it in detail once I finally find it. Sorry for the mishap. Anyways, here is the link.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GVH940UB
You probably don't remember that day. Esther had to invite her damn church friends because that's what Christians do, you know. Pretend to be liked by pretending to like others. I hate em all, I say. Anyways son, have a nice weekend & I'll speak with you again tomorrow.
SAT, 090214 @ 9:17PM

SAT, 090214 @ 9:25PM
I'm back, Zach. I had to share with you that you are now, officially, search result 1-7 on Google. That's huge. Your myspace came up as well. No change to Rachel Lauren Chun's result. 3 more to go. I'm so excited. TTYT!
SAT, 090214 @ 9:26PM

Another week passes and I haven't seen my kids.

TH, 090212 @ 10:58PM
Hello, Zachary Ryan Chun. The above is one of those token photo machines from Chuck E. Cheese's. I have another one when I show, but your shot here was far superior. I just got done finishing a copy of Snatch. Oh, darn. This is a R rated movie so me sharing anything about it here, now, is kinda wrong. Hmm. Maybe I'll simply jot down these movies and talk about them when appropriate. This is the final photo set that I had in your folder. The dates of the events are jumbled and there are a few, long videos to consider. Here are the folder names:
03 CHRISTMAS
07 MOVIES
2005-01, (Jan) ZRCs FIRST school picture
040316, Second Immunization shot, FIRST urinal
040516, A visit to Dad in the garage
050524, ZRC with the camera
050712, A picture from school wall
ZRC running through kitchen
031128 ZRC repeating words
PICT2153 ZRC Dinosaur Puzzle
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6NNEDZKA
The Christmas folder was an attempt to organize a subset. There are only two events in the folder, both heavily CANAed. Nothing worth mentioning here, I hate Christmas. I would love to explain to you both why when we are together again.
The Movie folder was another attempt like above. I have in it, a photo I snapped of you before our third movie outing. The Incredibles. Allow me to recap. Spiderman, Polar Express, and The Incredibles. Not a bad list, if I do say so myself. Oooh, here is the perfect chance.
Spiderman - IGIA8. The superb effects adds to the subtle human storyline and draws us deep into a life not as obviously blessed, as we may easily think it is.
Polar Express - IGIA7. Again, the effects were recognizable and mezemerizing. This movie, however, lacked the polish required to make a storyline meaningful.
The Incredibles - IGIA9. How can this be, you ask? Watch this movie a second, a third, and so on times, and you'll open your eyes to all of the attention it received. This is a very densly packed film that is delivering at every other line. The more you watch it, the more you'll appreciate it. Excellent movie.
Cool. This is a prelude to "Daddy, the movie critic". I will have to sort through my collection and introduce you to films I've had the chance to benefit from. And of course, I will block out any and all films I consider to be a complete waste of time. Where was I...oh yes, back to the photos.
2005-01 (Jan) ZRCs FIRST school picture
This is a very important folder for you because it has in it, your very FIRST class picture. Katie Choe, daughter to Tom and Margaret, is sitting to your left and the guy in the middle, back row, is son to some guy I think I know. Anyways, the photo I'm referring to is 'scan'. I think this entire folder was scanned for just this exact event.
scan0001 - This is our very FIRST Christmas photo as the four of us. Look how unhappy the both of you guys looked.
scan0002 - This is your FIRST class picture. You'll have the opportunity to take your photo at the end of every year. You should have one every year Zach. Oh, I forgot. I'll excuse the animal.
scan0005 - Some dude with a tablet PC had to freehand this photo of you at the Beverly Center. I can't give him any points for likeness since that picture looks nothing like you, but I can give him a tap on the back for speed and style. Something new, something different.
The rest of the images in this folder are of Thomas the Tank Engine. I think I scanned these pages so I could print them out and play with you.
040316 Second Immunization shot, FIRST urinal
I took you to some doctor's office for your second round of immunization shots. You did better than expected, and out of the blue, I snap a photo of you using your FIRST urinal. I think it was profoundly intereting to me at the time.
The rest of the files are these three video clips.
ZRC running through kitchen - Very short clip.
031128 ZRC repeating words - This is a Top 3, classic masterpiece. We were coming back from somewhere and your mother is asking you to repeat words you know. This is a wonderful clip of you being slick. I could watch this one forever and ever. You'll really like this one.
PICT2153 ZRC Dinosaur Puzzle - I filmed you throughout your entire venture to complete a dinosaure puzzle. Excuse me for the length, it couldn't be helped.
I have a drop box in Picasa that I refer to at the beginning of every post. Photos worthy enough for a posting added image, is uploaded when I organize and stored in my drop box. I have too many photos there, so I will be adding them to your slideshow. I haven't forgotten to do that collage of you loving cake. Look for it. I think with that, I can bid you adieu. O'var. (HW!)
TH, 090212 @ 11:52PM

A picture is worth a thousand words.

TH, 090212 @ 12:56AM

Hey Zachary Ryan Chun.  This was a shot taken from some Antioch presentation.  That's Thomas next to you BTW.  Look how you're groovin to whatever beat you guys were performing to.  I fixed and saved the picture with Picasa, but it reverted when uploaded.  This is a good picture to practice photo adjustments.  That reminds me.  It is important that I keep in contact with you to share as much as we can.  Another aspect of our encounters, is my ability to assign you homework.  Cause and effect is a huge consideration for me.  That being said, I am assigning you homework.  Alter the photo above in 3 distinct, different ways to improve on it.   Duh, I was just about to say that I have more photos than I do sets remaining.  I worried for a sec because the numbers don't match up, but duh, they don't have to.  I'll just have to stretch out these photos and comment on them as I go along.  Certainly, there is reason or story behind an added image.   Anyways, I thought an early post could free me up a bit tomorrow.  Gonna go finish 'Goodnight Mister Tom'.  IGIA6.  The events are too slow and it is difficult to latch on a character to have any concerns over.   Wow.  I just had an epiphany.  I shall use my IGIA ratings scale, 5-10, 10 being best, and database my entire DVD collection on this blog.  It'll give you a guide to those movies that I thought were well made and worth introducing you to.  Cool.  But until you are of age, I won't be able to discuss R-rated movies.  Hmm.  Oh well, we'll see.  That's all for me.  Goodnight Zachary Ryan Chun.

TH, 090212 @ 1:10AM

TH, 090212 @ 5:01AM

Hello again, Zachary Ryan Chun.   The movie I just mentioned deserves a bump for defining a happy ending.  So, IGIA7.  It's been bugging me for hours now that I may forget to mention that the set dated 021224, could be forgotten.  It's not in the normal scheme of things,  so I know I'll forget it if I don't do something about it now.  Hey, this is that lesson I mentioned a couple of days ago.  When reminded to do something, do it.  LOL.  Anyways, there's only one folder in this set because it was what I had on my camcorder throughout the year.  I'll do a play by play of

021224, DL from Sony Dig Cam

(Oops, there are so many connecting shots, I'm just going to have to commentate on the chosen 11.  Two ones makes it plural, so it's 'ones'.  The chosen ones.)

DSC00029 - This is my favorite cousin, Ja Young.  I had to have shots of her holding you because I love her very much and I wanted her to hold the person I loved more than anything else.

DSC00031 - There.  You can see a much better shot of her face in this photo.  I necer really noticed until now how she has dimples just like you.  Oooh, maybe it's my side...

DSC00053 - This is a shot of a building named after grandma Esther.  Pinche la puta.

DSC00054 - This is another cousin, young ho.  He is my mom's younger brother's, oldest son.  We're the closest in age, so I guess you could call him my partner in crime.

DSC00060 - We went to the Seoul Tower, but it was overcast so the trip was wasted. 

DSC00066 - LOL.  The statue or whatever that was looked too much like your baby foot.  I tried and tried to get a shot, but you wouldn't let me.

DSC00069 - Look at how you curled your toes.  'That doesn't look like my foot!  You lie!'

DSC00073 - We went to some African exhibit in some farmland somewhere.  We went with kkuhn ee mo and wae sung moh.  Wow, is that a dragonfly or a mosquito?!?

DSC00074 - Uh, mushrooms much too pretty to consume. 

DSC00098 - Some reporter was there to do some dumb reporting on nothing in particular.  Oooh, that reminds me.  The word I was trying so hard to figure out like 20 postings ago was 'segway'.  The art of moseying along to the next topic.

DSC00120 - I think this is a replica of the real DMZ.  Didn't know it at the time, but I've been seeing video clips of this exact spot on YouTube.

DSC00124 - Ahh, this is the FIRST shot with my favorite uncle.  I just call him kkuhn sam choon even though he has two older brothers.  He was busy, so we met briefly at a mall somewhere in Seoul.

DSC00126 - Oh, look.  I think this is the very FIRST shot of Alec.  He was born right after we returned from Korea.  If you look hard, you can see Alec in his day old shot.

DSC00129 - A classic pose.  You often clonked when being fed.  I can't recall the number of times I've caught you with a nipple in your mouth. 

DSC00130 - This was a toy we had you use to help you stand.  Look at how you're struggling to stay standing up.  

DSC00136 - This is that classic shot of our FIRST Dodger game.

DSC00147 - I will never forget how intrigued you were by that doorstop.  A photo can't possibly do the justice that a video clip can deliver.  I have a good clip of this very moment in your dohr video. 

DSC00154 - This is a shot of a 500 year old Oak that some dude refused anyone to cut down.  He ended up sleeping in it for months.  It was close to our Stevenson Ranch home, so we drove out to check it all out.

DSC00159 - Don't want to admit it now because of all that's happened, but this is a good Christmas photo with the Oh's and the Choe's.

DSC00162 - This is a preview of the nightmare I lived every time I pulled out a camera.  You didn't care to take the picture, you wanted to take the the picture.  The model turned photographer.

Again, all of these photos are in one folder because these are the pictures from my Sony digicam.  The quality's not upto par, but it captured those moments just prior to me rolling the camera.  Only two sets bug me now.  Anyways, that's a problem for tomorrow.  I hope you like this set as much as I liked presenting it to you.  Oh, I miss you Zach.  I just want a quiet, one minute, rocking hug.  Have a nice day, son.

Zachary Ryan Chun drawing Thomas the Tank Engine

WED, 090211 @ 10:57PM

Hello, hello, Zachary Ryan Chun.  Oooh.  Good news.  Zachary Ryan Chun is now officially search result 1-5.  Yae!  Five down, five to go.  The above photo is from a CANA picnic back in 2005.  Someone brought chalk and you dashed over to the sidewalk to draw this beautiful creation of Thomas the Tank Engine.  I was so amazed at your sudden need to divert all of this creativity.  I was so proud of you, as were a lot of other parents.  Good job, Zachary.  This photo set is kind of the last of the 'bunch'.  I labled the folder 050924, but there are folders from as far back as 0308.  So, without further adieu, here are the photos!

030820 ZRC's End of Year Program

031118 Chuck E Cheese videos

031122 Zach eating and saying Ah-Pah

031123 FPCT Thanksgiving

040813 ZRC Showering

050924 FIRST school project

051018 Pre Holloween in playroom

051022 Zach, Space Ranger!

For whatever reason, these folders weren't properly archived in your folder.  I sort of picked them up from here and there.   There are a lot of videos as well.  The set size is on the heavier side, at 128MB.  Oh, I almost forgot again.  Folder 021224 is new.  I mean, it was a part of this remaining folders that I had to sort through.  The last set, named 050925, has in it all of the loose photos I tried to lable.  So, there are three more sets.  This one, 021224, and 050925.  It's taking forevers to upload due to its size, so we'll see.  Duh, if it's not ready by the time I'm done with this post, I could always come back to it to 'edit' to add the links.  Doe.  I'm about half way through the printed format of this blog.  I made all of the corrections as well.  I noticed that the order for a printed copy should be chronological, so I finally copy-pasted through all of the postings to make things right.  I also used Word so that the added images appear as well.  I think they're vital to the postings because it relates the mood and the occassion.  I decided to update that file every 10 days, so look for the posting on post number 5 - 0.  Using default margin settings, it came out to 93 pages, so 86s that page-per-day guideline.  It's going to take a while, but...why not just publish now and edit when uploaded?  Let's try that.  BRB.

WED, 090211 @ 11:54PM

I'm back, Zach.  The link for the set is:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GONGQO52

Hmm.  ctrl-shift-a allowed me to link it but it's not working...lemmie try again.  Nope.  Maybe I'll come back to it later.  The other upload I talked about was for the Word doc of this blog.  It is:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1S9EC3FV

Hmm.  Didn't work for that, either.  Anyways.  The second link is to the text version.  If you do DL it, play with the margins so that you don't waste paper.  Don't forget to allow spacing for the darn staple.  I hate getting stuck on that over and over again.  Don't be a fool like me and plan for it early.  Anyways son, it is time I bid you farewell.  O'rvaw.  (That is so spelled wrong.  Tell me the correct spelling!  Ahh, homework...to be continued.)

Zachary Ryan Chun's FIRST kalbi

TUE, 090210 @ 10:48PM

Hello, Zachary Ryan Chun.  That's a good picture, no?  I like it because you're so focused. You helped me BBQ it and now, (drumroll, plz) you are ready for your very FIRST kalbi.  It's a good example of a FIRST photo.  The finger representing a 'one' should always be shown and the FIRST that is shown, should be obvious.  I was reminded that I never really talked with you about post labels.  I'm allowed to paste labels to my postings so that you can sort me easier for whatever reason.  This is my biggest and best result from going over the printed text.  I'm making sure that every posting has at least one label.  Off the top of my head, I can remember the labels First, Story, Photos, Lesson, Rule, ZandR, Promise, and uh, there are more.  You may not really require this feature since you will read every last word from beginning to end.  I think this feature can become useful when you want just the postings where I tell a story.  Anyways.  I'm sharing bandwidth with grandma because she's addicted to Korean dramas, so I won't be able to post a photo set with this posting.  Anyways, I guess you could say that this is my FIRST not-really-into-it post.  At least I'm being honest, right?  No brownie points for honesty?  Have a nice week and I will talk with you tomorrow.

The Way We Were...

MON, 090209 @ 6:40PM
Hello, Zachary Ryan Chun. Isn't that a great picture of us? The epitome of how we always were and how much fun we always had doing nothing. I want what is best for you and your sister. Believe in me and I will deliver when the time is right. Look at the picture again and tell me you didn't release a chuckle. I was telling someone about ZandR yesterday. I told him how I'm putting pressure on myself by declaring publically onto this post about my venture. There are sincere expectations of me and I can't let you guys down. I won't. Look at the picture again and tell me you're still not smiling.
Here are the folders within this set:
050611, ZRC's FIRST Kalbi
050616, Zach's Airplanes
050619, Good Pics with dad
050702, Zach's FIRST Choo Choo
050724, Zach in tub showing his helicopter that he made
050817, Antioch's Graduation
050820, Zach's shoes before donating to Mexico
050826, WOW! Zach's a T-Rex!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AO6DBCBN
What a good set this is. Trust me, you'll like them. There are two photos from this set that I will have to have to post out loud, so I'm going retro later on. Let me do a play by play.
PICT0216-PICT0218 - This is a perfect example of what a FIRST folder should do. In the first photo, you are eyeing your very FIRST Kalbi with a mesmerized dedication. No one's stopping you now. Your order has been given and you are at maximum throttle on the flight deck ready to take off. In the next photo, you have the look of someone biting into too much hot kalbi. The heat is painful, but the taste overwhelms that input and eases you into peace. Look at you chew! And lastly, the second photo proving the event. Open wide and show us, Zach. lol, I think this may very well be my favorite FIRST folder.
PICT0430-PICT0430 - This is a set of pictures that we took with you on my lap at my desk. In the first picture, the strings for the blinds distracts you so the picture doesn't work, but it does remind me of how often you pulled on them. I suppose you enjoyed watching the workings of Venetian blinds by the mere pull of a string. Next, you realize photos are being snapped, so you respond. "Oops. Excuse me. Let me get ready by puckering up". Next, you said "Did I say roll? Please tell me if I gave the order to go because I don't remember anything." The next photo is the added image above. I wish I knew exactly what it was that I said that had us so naturally happy together. The above is very special. Top 3. (Lesson Alert: I use this phrasing to give out my ratings for certain things. The terms are: Top 3, Top 5, Top 10, Top 20, Top 50, and very infrequently, Top 100. If you are visiting a restaurant you really like, saying that it is a Top 3 restaurant for you means that you either classify it as number two, or three. If it was your Top One restaurant, you would simply say that it is your Favorite Restaurant. Top 5 is less important, then 10, 20, and so on. I usually use Top 3, 5, and 10. I'll use examples so that you can master my little quirky ratings scale thingy. Back on track.)
PICT0433 - This is the picture above.
PICT0434 - Aww, this is a very special photo, too. The laughter subsided but you are still rolling about in delirious laughter. I love this photo.
PICT0435 - This is the summerizing aftermath of our laughing session. This was a close second to the added image because we both came out so nice.
Oh, this next folder was totally unplanned and unexpected.
PICT3677 - We were at a CANA picnic and someone brought crayons for the kids. You grabbed one and started drawing Thomas onto the sidewalk.
PICT3678 - Ahh, look, you have your Thomas all posed out so you can create your masterpiece. I love how the pictures progresses as I snap these photos. You are an artist very busy at work.
PICT3679 - His face is now complete. You started drawing something in front of Thomas. I couldn't figure out what...
PICT3680 - Suddenly, you leap over your creation and add to Thomas' smoke.
PICT3681 - And lastly folks, the finished masterpiece. Look how you have Thomas in hand. I love that about you. I have to use this picture for a post image. BRB.
There's an upload button from my Picasa photo viewer. Any deseving photo is uploaded, waits its turn to be used, downloaded, and uploaded by blogger when the time is right. It's funny how I would do that instead of just browsing for the image when ready. Oh, I think its because of my ability to pre-organize a group. Visually on a CPU it's the same, but I bet the later photos aren't as big as previous photos. Anyways. Oh, since we're on the topic. I don't know why, but added images from previous postings are 'corrupt'. Like three of them. I fixed other ones before so it's no big deal, but I'm curious about 'why' factor. Anyways, let me continue with my play by play.
PICT4210 - Ahh, this is another very important, meaningful folder. Again, what a great set of photos. I'm stunned. This is a set of photos I took to record a very meaningful event. This was your very FIRST Lego helicopter. Yae! It's okay that you covered your face while presenting your creation, because your showing eye tells twice the tale.
PICT4211 - This, my dear son, is a very good picture that tells all of the good stories and memories we have from that Japanese tub. I love seeing you happy in photos. That's my favorite pose. And this photo here, is a definite Top 5.
PICT4212 - The helicopter you made.
PICT4213 - You reaching for the camera even though you're in a bathtub.
This is your Antioch graduation presentation folder.
PICT4504 - Look at you leaned over and performing live, on stage.
PICT4506 - You in your FIRST pom-poms. To be honest, I cannot, for the life of me, remember what your performance was about. At least you look good.
PICT4511 - This was a picture I took of you guys after your performance. Look at how much of a leader you are to your two friends. You're holding their hands and being extra alert because you have a responsibility.
PICT4513 - Look at you looking down at that girl. I've forgotten her name. Do you remember her? Anyways, this is a very adult photo of you being a good oppah.
PICT4514 - The happy camper. This photo has a good picture of your dimple.
050820, Zach's shoes before donating to Mexico
PICT4683 - The only meaningful photo from this set is this one. It's Rachel's FIRST shoes. I took photos of your baby shoes.
PICT4744 - And finally, ladies and gentlemen, here is Zachary Ryan Chun's rendition of a Tyrannasaurus Rex. AHH! Scare me, dude. This photo too, shall be an added image for a future posing.
The End.
That took quite a bit of time and effort. I suppose I was lucky in that most of the photos represented good memories in such a small group in this set. I dont think I would have been able to bare it if I wasn't so into the photos. Anyways, enjoy them as much as I did in this preparation. Let me see...A final thought?
Oh yeah. I printed out this blog yesterday and have enjoyed reading through it. The order needs to be corrected, but otherwise, it reads plesantly well. I hope you enjoy it. That's all I need in return for every last minute spent on this blog. Gauge how much I love you according to my efforts you see on this blog. Know the lies from the truth. The most distinguished difference between an autobiographical novel and a blog is the differences in structure. A blog does not have a beginning, middle and end. The live, daily input is the factor being utilized. I'm saying this just to point out how the printing of this blog read. Well, my son, I hope to continue on with this most important task with the same level of energy and excitement as I have been feeling lately. I think this is the 40th post. I am excited for the 50th, 100's going to be a momumental date, the one year, 365th posting will outsour them all, and so on and so on. I love you Zach.

Hey wait a minute. The work is about the same, no?

SAT, 090207 @ 5:02PM
Hello there Zachary Ryan Chun. I was thinking over all of the different ways I could present C2C favorably when it dawned on me. Money for what? Here, at this very moment, I am officializing and publicizing and, uh, legalizing it all right here. Cash2Consumers.com was founded by, and is entirely owned by, Jason Top Chun. Ta Da! I am going to have to do a complete 180 and begin apologizing, in advance, for any lapses in the near future. F the business plan. Webmaster Jason T. Chun is the first employee. For his services, in lieu of cash compensation, he accepts the role humbly, in return for all 100% ownership rights. This will be the play by play that kills em all. I shall journalize this adventure and you will see it grow, as I care for it. That was my reason for this post. The legal declaration, and birthplace and time of ZandR Enterprises, Inc. dba C2C, Inc. Lemmie go research the cost in legalities. LegalZoom.com is heavily supported by KFWB, AM 640 News Radio. A more Stimulating Station....

Wow, that was awhile ago... it is now 6:20. I'm doing this, and the best way to begin a web page is on your back, in your bed, with your eyes closed. Oh, no, no, no. That's not the reason why I cam back. The drawing for the My Coke Rewards sweepstake, ESPN Zone Viewing Room, will be held on the 23rd of this month. 16 days away. I think I'll crop and add image to this posting. Remember, this is going to make or break me. If I lose, I swear, officially, that I will never, ever partake in any sweepstakes, period. Fin. No Mas. Das Boot! (jk about that last term. Hmm. I wonder what it does mean? Look it up and tell me Zach) Anyways, gotta go meditate in the realm of nerds. CYA.

SUN, 090208 @ 8:33AM
Good Morning, Zachary Ryan Chun. I went to the laundry to fold up some of my dad's clothes this morning. As I folded, I noticed that I had placed my Blockbuster copy of 'Righteous Kill' on top of the dryer I retrieved his clothes from. I distinctly remember myself saying, 'oh, good. I better not forget that.'. Guess what? I forgot. Hmmpph. I had to go back about an hour and a half later and lucky me, it was there. The moral of the story is that any and every time you catch yourself almost forgetting something, you take care of it right then and there. There was a reason why I fogot the DVD on the dryer and that very same reason made me forget it a second time. Stuff like this should be learned early in life so that it doesn't happen later in life. Anyways, I wanted to share all of that with you because as I drove around and around, I came up with a new idea. I am officially presenting to you and your sister, Rachel Lauren Chun, 11% share of ZandR Enterprises, each. Why 11%? That way, you guys will own 22% and you remember by spiel on 22, right? There's even the two of you. I also had the thought that the '2' and 'to' can and should be replaced with '4' and 'for'. So, I went to GoDaddy.com to check on the URL Cash4Consumers.com and,...it's taken! Oh, no Gargamel. I didn't check the other one. BRB. Oh, no! That one's taken too. Oh poo. I'll just have to grow this company so that it'll be able to easily afford to buy out those two URLs. Anyways. This addition was written to officialize your stakes in the company. Oh, one stipulation is that you won't be able to touch your ownerships until you guys turn 18. We don't want animal you know who to mess with us, right? Anyways, I'm still in the planning phase so I don't have anything there to report, except the fact that I haven't done anything with Legalzoom yet. Hope you guys are doing well. Bye for now. Muah!

Greetings, Zachary Ryan Chun. I go to check on the availabilities for our URLs, and I found a four year old purchase of JasonTopChun.com. It expires Oct of next year. One down, three to go. I'll tell you the addresses after I register them. Oh yeah. Reason for the visit. BRB. Success in being able to print out the html for a certain 'inspirational' company. But oh no. Boo hoo. I just got my ass royally kicked by them in html. Half way through page one, I began reading commands for actions I didn't know existed. A program must have been used. I don't see myself actually being able to write the html. I'll focus now on the design and context. I will have a SW hurdle to deal with next. Financial. I should just make this blog my official accounting for ZandR. BRB. So far, I've invested 20 something bucks to register cash2consumers.com and cashtoconsumers.com. A program to aid in the actual page construction will be the next line item. I couldn't figure out how to change a post label, so I am, from now on, using ZandR as my new post label for this exciting new venture. Hmm. Had a thought towards the financials. Why not always a third? Yeah, a third is a very fair number. I want to record this.
- A Third, man. We promise to give you a third of anything we take in.
This will be a mission statement inclusion. (Shh. I now have four URLs I need to register. The 43% off 6 or more didn't work out. I'm going for the $10 off $100 coupon code.) Wow. I just realized that the general formatting of a business plan is only good if all parts are properly written and supported. Without the need of one now, I have the time to invest in those parts I do need. I'm not requesting funds or trying to go public. Baseline reads: make the webpage. I'm a WebMaster, damn it. Go master it then. Shoot. Self pressured good. ouch. (Dunno if this point was made. I'm just going to write down my company here on these pages. Keep my files on the Seagate, but officialize and brainstorm, here on these channels. Same Bat channel, same Bat time! Anyways, gonna go sweep.

Hello again and again, Zachary Ryan Chun. I don't know why, but I wanted the text for this blog. It took awhile, but here it is.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0G4UUQCK
All 32 pages thus far. This is the 39th posting. Hmm, does that mean I'm 7 pages shy? I pretty much maximized the borders in word. Hmm. Should I just change borders so that I'll get 39 pages? BRB. Wow. That was the third change. Disregard the previous link. The real one is:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VAHTKH1X
I had to re-save, zip, encrypt, and upload. Duh, I just realized I maximized the word boarders for fewest pages. Oh wells. Plus, this last update to the post isn't on the linked zip file. Hope I remember that when I do this again on the 50th post. That's it for today, I promise.
