bright and he has this 17 inch thing. i believe he will
make a huge difference the way things are right now.

with astonishing ideas. in addition, he is
effective and efficient and most of all, he will
travel with me wherever i go. he has the
thing called..... YHigh in his brain. i will talk to the
HR dept to arrange an early retirement package
for you Tom, so that u can play hide-and-seek in your
10acre ranch at crawford Texas. u will have lots
of fun over there with all the plant, tree and bush.

introducing one of my breakfast buddy.

Hint hint!! check out the black circles.

































































u eat and .....

Quote:
i eat anything that grows from the earth and crawls on the earth,
everything that falls from the sky and flies in the sky and all that
swims in the sea and dives into the deep blue sea. it's better to die
being stomach-full than to die being hungry....so eat!!

is there a phobia for ..... afraid of dying hungry?


anyway, when u eat right, your body is in harmony, it powers
your physical body, in turn, it fuels your brain and warm your heart;
and after all the whole nine yards, u said...... i need to go to the bathroom
and u ran out of toilet paper. sigh!!


got a link to.......the side-effect of ice storm.

















there goes my Porsche Boxster nicely wrapped in bone chill I-C-E.

it looks really cool huh but i don't think i wanna be there when it happened.
what happened to my car????


yeap....youtube is getting into my brains.

the digital camcorder...... the movie maker software....most of all,
youtube.com ..... it's addictive.......it's fun.......it's ...... amazing.
yes.....it's getting into me. i am glad i had my new laptop with 80GB
of hard disk. my older one has only 30GB and it's dying. i have
enough storage haha.......

taping events is different right now. i used to have a analog SLR
and i still have it but it's inside my ziplog bag sitting comfortably.
then came the digital camera. now, it's a digital camcorder and
it burns DVD.

capturing history with audio and motion video is totally cool.
u can hear and listen to people and the atmosphere. everything
is recorded. here is the problem...u want more and more out
of it. i.e. having a better camcorder, more creativity in making
video clips, more astonishing audio and all the editting stuff.

the first problem is...... i borrowed de DVD camcorder. in the
current market u have also, a MiniDV and hard-disk camcorder.
so....which one shall i buy?

anyway, i want to make good quality video clips. that's the goal.

since thanks-giving...... it's back!!


















my stereo was stolen last thanks-giving. finally,
kevin helped me to install it last weekend. as u can see, i was
without music for the past Dec, Jan, Feb, end of Mar.
it was torturing. it was bad esp when driving for more than
1 hr. what i really need is traffic report. u will never know
what will happen to the freeway since there is only 2
major ones to LA, the 5 and 15.

anyway, Usher is back!! well, as u can see, it's a sony
stereo. i paid around $80 for a brand new stereo. a good
deal huh. what i can say is that, my stolen Pioneer player
can really explode my car. for some reason, the Sony
thing is missing the kick. i really felt that something is
missing...... if this Sony gets stolen again, i won't install
anymore. in addition, i will remove all the 4 Sony xplode
speakers too.

lastly, thanks to Kevin.


project #2 all right.

project #2 DONE. i am so happy. i hope he and she will like it.
anyway, i decided to cut the clip since i want to do another
clip with the lunch at evergreen. you will see it later.

1st video uploaded to youtube.com.....YEAH!!

all right!!

wow....it took me...... many many hours to film, rip, edit, put together, etc.
of course, the most important thing is, the digital camcorder. thanks to f.
and then, all the legal software to rip the video, to download and to
convert the audio and my laptop with software to all of them together.
again, thanks to f for her support, advice, etc. without her, i wouldn't
have done it. well, project #1..... COMPLETE..... project #2..... COMING SOON.
enjoy!! and once again, congratulations on your new home.

de man is back to his pan.........

finally....... i have returned to my land.....the kitchen.
well, my company provides dinner and sometimes,
there are tons of left-overs from lunch meetings.
besides, sam woo is not too far away and of course,
there is a good vietnamese supermarket that sells
food in a la carte. 1 lb of curry chicken is around $6.
anyway, i stir-fry bok choy with garlic and oyster
sauce. it's pretty good actually. !salud!

no news is goods news.

i was driving my car and F was driving hers. we wanted to go to
panda express but it was closed since it was already 9.30pm.
she took off first and i followed. she hit the main street and
i was looking to the right and then to the left and slammed on the
gas. the moment i slammed on the gas, i saw a cyclist in front
of me and in no time, he flew. he was knocked off from his
bicycle. i was shocked!!

when i left the parking lot, i need to make a right to head west;
towards her place. i looked to the right and to the left and when
no vehicles, i turned. i was positive that i did not see anything
on the right. the cyclist was towards the east, against the traffic.

anyway, i was shocked and without hesitate, i quickly dialed 911.
the operator needed to calm me down since i was ..... really really
shocked. that guy was on the ground and passerbys came to help
him since i was on the phone. i explained with anxiety and the
operator had to calm me down a few times.

the parademic and the police came in no time. they asked who are
the witnesses, the injured, etc. later, they asked me more questions
and i called F. she came back and became my witness.

here is how i analyse the situation.
1) i think u need to cycle with the traffic flow.
2) he wasn't wearing a helmet.
3) he didn't turn on the lights.
4) he did not wear a reflective clothing.
5) i drove out from the parking lot and i was slow..... 4mph?
it was the acceleration that made the impact.

anyway, the paramedics took him to the hospital. i talked to the cops
and they said, whatever happens, do not leave the scene until everything
has been documented.

well, i did not get any phone calls today from anyone about the accident.
most of all, i do not have the victim's name, number, etc. i am praying that
he only suffered minor injuries and .... i guess..... no news is good news.
PTL.

I am finally back to San Diego.

it was fast; my 2 weeks trip to the Pearl of the Orient.

the only 2 problems i had were:
with the customs; when they confiscated 2 bottles of my drinking
water when i was at LAX. i forgot about my water bottles in my
hand carry. i thought they asked me if i needed my water. i said, take them
away. i was just wondering what would happened if i had a bottle of cognac
and another bottle of wine. shall i finished them on the spot???
hmm...i guess not.

the other problem......
after sleeping at the right time this weekend. i clocked 23hrs of sleep. rewind!!
i arrived on monday evening. oscar came to get me and after all the
whole nine yards, i finally drove my car getting ready to head home.
it was then 11.30pm. hmm.....i thought i was flying for the last 25hrs
and now another 2 hrs of driving??? i touched down at 7pm btw.
anyway, i arrived safely at 2.30am and by the time i got to bed, it was
3.30am. do u think i have the energy to get up the next day, i mean,
in another few hrs to go to work? no. i took the day off.

the jet lag really got into me. i wasn't productive and to add insult to
injury, i was down with a cold. i thought i could do some work but
the cold really got me. i finally recovered on sat after i woke up at
1.30pm. i slept at 2.30am on friday and that was a whopping 11hrs.
i felt so much better and on sunday, i hit 10hrs. i guess my jet lag
is finally ..... gone.

the trip was good. i had too much good food and now, my training
is back....... running like a mad dog. i met a lot of people and many
relatives. well....all i can say is, there are too many people living
on the island. i could not believe so many condos are being build and
my last trip was in 2004. what a big difference.

of course, it was hot and humid and i slept on the sofa all the time.
yeah, i did not have real sleep and besides, going to bed at 4am was
quite a normal sleeping time.

i was glad i have time to sneak out to kiasuland for lunch with
some nice people. thanks again and it was good to see all of you.
