Procrastinating
I decided to stop studying tonight. I instead went to TGIF with Nat and had a fun time eating and drinking some beer. Now I’m home, its raining outside, and I feel like just…doing nothing.
I’m watching Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson Videos and just feeling all emo.
OK FUCK THIS IM GOING TO BED. GNITE. LOL. ESSAY TOMORROW.
again…why can’t i blog like a smart...
Graduation!
I don’t want to study, I don’t want to study, can we just be done already?!

First, I have to say it. The Suburbs is an AAAAAAAAMAAAAAAZING album. I can’t stop listening to it.
Now go! Click on the link! This “film” is just amazing and innovative and gorgeous and sums up why I love Arcade Fire so very much. At the beginning it asks for the address of your childhood home, then incorporates images from Google to personalize the film for you. It’s amazingly...

chat roulette
What an interesting idea. Natalie first told me about this but I haven’t visited the site till today. This was after Jeff showed me the video of the chat roulette piano guy, merton. Btw he is awesome, you should check him out on youtube.
anyway my first experience with chat roulette went like this:
Stranger: Hey
Me: Hey
Me: How’s it goin?
Stranger: Not Bad Boy or Girl?
Me:...
sucha fun night!
Great job everyone! it was so fun to sing with all the groups at UCSD today. I really wanna get better after seeing all the great performances tonight.
I’ve decided to really dedicate a lot more of my free time to practicing my singing. I was doing some work with Nicky a few days ago and we just were doing scales and warmups for a half hour and I was already hoarse. I think its partly...
Back in the library
I’m in biomed studying for ochem! LET’S DO THIS PHIL!!!!
so before i sleep
figured i should keep trying to blog a little bit.
This weekend was a big oldies movie weekend for me. I somehow looked up on youtube a clip from star trek, first contact yesterday. And i ended up watching the entire thing online.
If you don’t know this about me…I am a trekkie. I started watching The Next Generation back in elementary school. They used to show the reruns on UPN...

Can i be the first to say pharma girls ARE actually pretty hot LOL.
Of Frisbees and Futures
Today was the first frequency outing of the year. I know, it took awhile for us to get something together. But it was probably the most fund I’ve had with the group all year.
Don’t get me wrong, singing and rehearsing with these 14 great guys is fun, but still feels like work sometimes. It was nice to kickback and have some fun outside, running around, making fun of each other and...

Gig at Love146 Art Night
It was a good performance today at the Art Night for Love146 against human trafficking. The whole atmosphere was really somber, so we ended up singing our slow songs. Had to do some scrambling to get everyone on the same page, but seemed to be ok. I think we are getting better at this whole performing thing :) But I was definitely shaking while I sang my solo. Terrible.
Anyway, it was good to...
YUMMY
Natalie and I cooked chicken parmesan today. yummmy. pictures to come
Learned something
about an old friend that made me sad today. I’m really out of touch with some of those people…it just sucks because I really don’t know how to keep in touch sometimes. I get caught up in my own little world and barely have enough time with myself let alone trying to see how others are doing. But I don’t wanna be that guy all the time either. What a dilemma.
Hope you all...
Happy Hour at Nozomi?
NOMNOM? going with jeff and chris now. hope its yummy and cheap!

OH I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING
So I watched two movies with Natalie this weekend. One was Nick and Norah’s infinite playlist. Let’s talk about that first.
First off, if you don’t know me, let’s just say that I enjoy romantic comedies. But everyone who knows me know this is probably the biggest understatement in the history of..today. Anyway, I digress.
Nick and Norah’s infinite playlist cute,...
Wow. Second Day of Blogging in a row?
Strangely enough I’m on tumblr again. I usually give up after the first day, this has to be a record for me.
I think someone ate my sandwich today. I’m not gonna say who. But when I came home that sandwich was gone. And only one person had remnants of sandwich in there trash can.
With my sandwich being eaten, I was forced to cook the strangest meal I’ve had - chili, jasmine...

When I left for work this afternoon one of the neighbor kids was standing outside her garage with her bike yelling “please garage, please open!” for like… ten minutes. It was kinda sad but really funny.

LOL. Use it or lose it, Phil.
So I thought about blogs today. After talking to Jordan, and perusing the blogs that I follow here on tumblr - which are few, I should add - I decided to maybe try and get this thing going for myself. It was great writing about my trip to Africa, and I guess since I am a biological sciences/developmental biology major and don’t get to write much I should probably start writing something or...

Final Thoughts
First, a recap of the last few days in Arusha. We were able to go to the Snake Park out halfway too monduli, and got to take lots of pictures. I got to pet an alligator too lol. And ride a camel. It was really fun, and the snakes were really awesome - thought extremely scary. Friday was a little bittersweet, going to the hospital to say goodbye and also saying goodbye to WAMATA and the crew. ...

the last days
It seriously feels like i’ve only been here about a week….and 3 weeks is almost over. Time really flies over here. I feel like everyday is jampacked with another adventure…even the public transporattion feels like it, since i meet so many new and different people. Even today i went to Tengeru market and met a guy i hadn’t seen in a week that i had met on the Dala Dala...
Meow.
Hello all! This is Sammy and I am one of the volunteers on this trip with Phil… I hacked into his account with my amazing technology skills… ok just kidding I just asked politely. Just wanted to tell all of you that I think all of you are already friggin sweet since you’re reading Phil’s blog because he’s a balla times ten million. He always makes us all laugh and...
Safari, Waterfalls, and More!
Hello all! So Friday night we went out to masai camp again. The pizza was better than last time, and i finally tried some of the local beer! I enjoyed the kilimajaro brand…yum. I also was able to boogie down again…but alas, no one copied me like last time. i guess i wasn’t on fire like last time.
We got back around 3, and woke up at 7 to go on safari in tarangire national...
A little past midway
Hello all! I’m a little past halfway here on my volunteer trip to Africa, and it is safe to say that i have learned more than I thought i would have X 1000000000. Its humbling to be in a place like this, and i have been feeling like crap the last few days for takign for granted everything i have in America. Today I went again to another house with WAMATA and talked for an hour with a man...
Bosi Cont'd and the last few days
So, I’m sorry that I’ve been really out of touch. The internet here is really slow and I can only get to a few different sites - the one I can’t get to that I really wanna get to is Facebook and my yahoo/ucsd emails. If you need to reach me though, gmail works great and tumblr does so i’ll try and keep you guys in the loop from here.
So I’m nearing my halfway point...
OH YEAH BOSI
I also wanted to say that the Bosi orphanage we visited was really sweet! I will write more later :)
Afreakan cool
Happy Birthday to Neyree! I hope everyone is ok thats heading to kilimanjaro tonight. Good luck! Now…everything that happened this week has been a blur, but its safe to say that AFrica does a lot of things differnetly than we do in the US - especially the hospitals. Now i know its not my place to say anything about hospital practices, but even some of their own guidelines were broken this...
Aang Serian Group and Meru District Hospital
Wow. I can honestly say that what the Aang Serian Group is doing to fight FGM is amazing. They work internally, and use a modified right of passage rather than an alternative right of passage (as in nothing too invasive) to get the people in the villages to be more accepting of women who have not had FGM. They were also the most generous people ever - they offered us sodas while we were there,...
Arrived Safely
Habari zenu?
I am safely in Arusha, having spent the past day and a half taking planes to Africa. It has been tiring - I only got 4 hours of sleep yesterday but I am doing alright. We have a few moments in town on the computer so I wanted to let everyone know that I am here and doing well. The food is great and the people even greater. Super nice people, super friendly, I can’t wait to...
