If someone really wanted to understand you, what would they read, watch, and/or listen to?
Online novels, Japanese animations, movies and asian pop music
What is something that always makes you smile?
Eat delicious food
What is your best pick-up line?
Do you like raisins? How do you feel about a date?
Are you the kind of friend you would want to have as a friend?
Yes, I would like to have myself as a friend. I'm responsible, genuine and simple, and these are the traits I like about myself!
What has been your favorite aspect of APO so far? Why?
Service is one of my favorite aspects of APO. It’s because through service, I get to help people and make a difference in their lives. I feel that by helping people, I feel true happiness and satisfaction. Growing up, a lot of people have helped me and provided their selfless service. Their service inspire to give back and help others. I really like how service makes people who receive the service happy, and when others are happy, I would be happy too. One of the service I went was the DPNS Rocks. It was basically an annual fundraiser for a preschool. In the event, we were helping with making and selling marshmallows. The kids in the event were very happy when they got a flavored marshmallow with a shape of unicorn. I felt contented when I saw them being happy. Also, I was happy because I got to eat marshmallow. Even though the whole service was 4 hours, it went pretty fast since it was a pretty enjoyable time for me. In the end of the cleaning shift, the event coordinator was very thankful to us being there helping out. This service is one of my favorite ones since I not only felt happy when I contributed my time and effort in the service, but also, I had fun making and eating marshmallows. Besides making friends and connections to people, one of the important reasons that I joined APO was actually because there are so many service opportunities in this fraternity. As a graduating senior, I felt it is definitely meaningful to me to do services in my final quarter.

If someone really wanted to understand you, what would they read, watch, and/or listen to?
a gif is worth a thousand words
What is something that always makes you smile?
What also makes me smile is when it comes to eating my meals. I can be super cranky in the morning but the moment I think about breakfast I start smiling real bright.
What is your best pick-up line?
"Did it hurt falling from the top of the vending machine because you’re looking like a snack eh HEH”
Are you the kind of friend you would want to have as a friend?
Yup!! I’m that person that will always be down to go for food at 2am but also that person you can call anytime when you got a problem. I think one thing I started doing was keeping my ringer on at all times, even when I sleep because I want to always be there for someone if they ever needed me at any point.
What does it mean to be a leader?
To be a leader means to step back, listen, and grow. When people typically think of a leader, it steers towards one who makes all the decisions executively and do all the work. Yet, a leader is elected by the people; thereby, they must represent the thought of the people. Rather than specifically direct, it involves the factor of listening to the needs of all and guiding them towards the goal/agenda what they want to attain or is requesting. I think this is the most important characteristic because one needs to listen, not hear, to what everyone wants and to brainstorm a way with everyone to make it occur. Also, to listen to all includes encouraging everyone to contribute in one way or another be it through activities, conversation, and food! In addition, it involves having a strong will to stick to an agenda as well as guide the discussion to complete an agenda. Yet, I believe that leadership does not specifically involve uptaking a leadership position. Peers who also influence each other with ideas and encourage one another to grow also can be counted as being a leader as well! This term should not be categorized purely as holding a public position but rather as a chance to contribute towards a cause. A leader is no different from everyone else for they are one with everyone else.

99 Ranch or Ranch 99?
I call it Ranch 99 as it's was something I've grown accustomed and comfortable to via my hometown and community in SJ. But whatever feels right for you.
If someone really wanted to understand you, what would they read, watch, and/or listen to?
Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995 series) and/or Naruto... if you read manga, Vagabond. dead ass. I like mechas, good fight scenes, discourses about human nature, building authentic will/resilience, questioning moral, what it means and takes to achieve happiness, and depression. bam! I put the Annie in anime. jk... but for real..I don't watch anime or whatever I'm interested in for the sake of escapism, I do everything with purpose... to engage in discussions bout life and using it to remind myself of the autonomy I have in creating who I wanna be.
What is something that always makes you smile?
mutual feelings and good vibes...people being genuinely kind, helpful, and having a damn good time.
What is your best pick-up line?
“Be unique and different, say yes.”
Are you the kind of friend you would want to have as a friend?
yes. But I'm trying to prioritize being my own friend first. I work damn hard to be the best version of myself everyday.. for myself then for others.
Do you try to improve yourself every day? What can you do every day to improve yourself?
Yes, I do strive to improve myself every day. I understand improvement can be defined in a variety of ways. To me, improving myself means living by my values everyday to the best of my ability. Additionally, it's also the process of constantly redefining/ developing how I feel, view and understand the world, as well as myself within it (and others). My values consist of traits and attitudes I feel I should devote my life to and always strive towards. First, before I devote myself to world, I’d like to serve and develop my heart, my soul, my mind and body. I feel developing myself requires a conversation between me, my community and our environment. I want to share authentic experiences and connections with people in order to understand myself and serve the world. I feel that’s my purpose. I don’t just enjoy it, it keeps me sane. Because honestly.. I’ll literally melt and die.
I want to keep learning to be as accepting and inclusive as possible. In order to do so, I want to value and embrace everyone’s differences. I’d like to be a canvas to help people feel empowered by their uniqueness, to explore and understand themselves as I too, learn from them (creating strong relations that is ideally mutually pleasant).
Another value of mine I’d like to uphold, is the continuation of viewing myself as a student. One who is always learning from the world and others; ever expanding my capabilities and knowledge (this includes holding myself accountable to my mistakes and intended/unintended harm).
I feel these traits align with Alpha Phi Omega's definition of leadership, friendship and service. That’s why I’m personally so adamant in joining this fraternity, it’s to improve myself.

If someone really wanted to understand you, what would they read, watch, and/or listen to?
If someone really wanted to understand me they would read my tweets, watch This Is Us, and listen to my simp playlist on Spotify.
What is something that always makes you smile?
My nephew, he’s the cutest little baby.
What is your best pick-up line?
Do you have 11 protons?
Cause you’re sodium fine.
Are you the kind of friend you would want to have as friend?
Yes, because I’m that type of friend who is always down to spend money on food, but also will listen and care for you when you’re feeling down :)
What goals do you have for Spring Quarter?
Spring quarter is my last quarter as a third year and I’m determined to make it my best quarter yet. I plan on achieving this goal by focusing on myself and putting energy into things/people that make me happy! My academic goals include staying off of twitter during lectures, possibly using a planner for once in my life, and miraculously somehow finishing this quarter with a 4.0. With that being said, if you see me napping in class, I give you permission to throw something at me. Some financial goals that I have include budgeting how much money I spend on unlimited sushi, clothes, and unnecessary stationery items from Muji. If this doesn’t work out, I might just submerge my credit cards in a container of water and stick it in the freezer (an idea I got from watching Confessions of a Shopaholic). Lastly, my main focus for this quarter is completing the pledging process and becoming an official brother of Alpha Phi Omega! This process has already encouraged me to put myself in uncomfortable situations and grow as an individual. Everyone that I’ve gotten the pleasure to meet so far has shown nothing but kindness to me and I’m beyond excited to continue getting to know more members of APO! My goal is to remain open to new ideas, optimistic, and genuine throughout the rest of my APO journey. Usually the quarter system makes me feel anxious and stressed out, but not this time. When I think about these next ten weeks, I can’t help but feel hopeful and excited for what's to come.

99 Ranch or Ranch 99?
Ranch 99. 99 Ranch just doesn't sound right
If someone really wanted to understand you, what would they read, watch, and/or listen to?
They need to read Shakespeare's Macbeth Act 1. Sc. 3 lines 40-49 because that's my favorite part of the play. Some things they would need to watch are Naruto, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Shane Dawson's conspiracy videos.
What is something that always makes you smile?
My dog Tofu!
What is your best pick-up line?
I don't have one because I don't hit on people nor do I get hit on.
Are you the kind of friend you would want to have as a friend?
Yeah, I think I'm okay sometimes
What goals do you have for Spring Quarter?
A goal I have for the Spring Quarter is to start going to the gym again. I can feel my arms turning into spaghetti noodles and I need to work on my summer bod, even though I have no plans to go anywhere in the summer. It’s also kind of sad how I’m slightly out of breath walking up a flight of stairs so I want to improve my cardio. I also want to spend less time laying in my bed this quarter. I’m already off to a bad start though, because I bought a phone stand so I can watch videos in my bed without needing to hold my phone. *cries in potato* Umm… I guess it would be nice to pass my all my classes with an A, though it’s highly unlikely, or pass away. Also, I’d like to improve my work ethic so that I’m not behind in my classes and cramming to get work done. BUUUUT, it’s only the second day of class and apparently I’m already behind by three chapters. So hopefully, I can catch up and stay caught up. Please pray for me. I definitely want to put in more effort to spend time with my friends as well. They’re all biology majors so I don’t have any classes with them and hardly see them on campus. I probably only see them once every other week so I want to try to hang out with them at least every week. I hope that isn’t too clingy.
