it's been exactly 5 months since my last blog post. Hmm. So it's 2012 now. I donno. You know i lost faith in this new year resolution thing, eh, whats the point anyways? 2011 was an interesting year. Achieved a few of things that I never done in my life. I'm honestly quite grateful for a lot of things, stuff like getting the job as a Photo Editor at The Chronicle, a wonderful summer in

so this is something I've been struggling with: talking with friend's friend/family at a situation where you cant talk much. Let me use an example to explain the situation better: So I walked with my friend Tayler to meet up with her mom and sister tonight(whom both came to chicago to visit her) at the nearby baskin robins. I just wanna say hi to Terry(Tayler's mom) and then take off, let them

( that kilo-alpha-delta-charlie was just some random crap I came up for the title) The third year in a roll, I came to visit the Powell's in Texas. Three years. It's almost an annual traditional now. It felt like I just visited the place like a few weeks ago, but the reality shows that it has already been 12 months since the last time. Even weird, seeing the kids grow up. I mean, April's sister

I don’t think this resolution thing that people make after new years really makes sense at all. If you wanna improve, you can do it anytime.But oh well, since you asked, I’ll answer.-Hang out less at the Womb (Yup, that’s name of one of my friends apartment).-Try to make more friends outside of the group(basically all Christians [I’m not]) I have now, branch out.-Learn to cook better.-Read more

I donno. I got lazy I guess. Now the new years is almost here, I'm pretty sure one of my goals/wishes will not be done when the new year comes. Hmm. What can I do? Hoping the best that it will come true this coming new year. I donno why. I'm somehow always the sad, the moody one during these holidays Looking back the past year, sure, I did accomplished quite much. But the thing I'm searching

Before I start talking about the main topic today,lets open up with a small "something else". So the funny thing these days, when I go into shower, in the middle of everything of cleaning yourself, I tend to get confused with whether I body-washed myself or not. It always happens at the moment when my brain start thinking about a deep thought or other crap while in the shower, my body goes into

one way of staying positive in life, is doing the things you love.(YEAH, DUH) Yes I do like to take photos, but taking photos for homework is something else. Once reason why I was able keep myself sane while in the dead boring California, was I kept going to places, taking photos and scanning film. I'm missing that part a lot these days. Yes I'm taking a lot photos for photo class

yeah since I've been here for almost a month. Okay where should I start? Life is certainly good these days. My roommates have been pretty much the greatest that they can be.(I'm somehow pretty lucky, throughout out my college life so far, I never had a bad roommate) Yeah so school and classes. 4 classes, 12 credits(I wish I can get more) Each of them meet like once per week, but it's like 4

It's been almost a week since I got here. Things have been pretty good. Really loving this place. Weather has been getting better. The City is amazingly beautiful. Too much to talk about with too less time. I'll fill you guys in later on. Bed time for now.

It's a sunday morning. I woke up early(I have no clue how I did it). Start watching my baseball, fell asleep in the process, until Robison Cano hit a grand slam. And then came rain delay, oh well, it's already an official game. Okay I'm over baseball for the day. Next. Reading Collette Bodtcher's blog of how wonderful her marriage is.

So as I'm warping up the three day trip to chicago, starting to think about the near future stuff. For example: How am I going to bring all my stuff with me to Chicago? Where am I going to find that 15K that I'm missing for school cost? Oh well I really want to graduate from columbia. Tuition and living costs around 40K per year, better make the most of each penny. I hope I can finish school

Especially that we can't find any entertainment system shelf small enough to fit the hole in the wall. Improvise then.

I can't say it's productive because I've been doing a lot of school/family related stuff. No Personal projects were done, no photo shoots. Barely shot any photos. That roll of Provia400X in the film camera still stood at frame number 6. Even if I did shot any photos with my EOS40D, it's just those normal crappy everyday life photos that people shoot with their cheap point & shoot camera. There

Like you guys heard Godiva's not too bad. (Way better than my last job) After three weeks, my working hours are steadily increasing(but still quite insufficient to keep me away from debt soon) This pay period which ends today, I think I accumulated 17hrs of work.(The past few weeks I barely reach 10hr per week) Not a bad week. I can be expecting a much bigger paycheck this up coming friday.

So I finally thought of writing a blog post after all those days with scattered thoughts. I know it's long due. I hate the number 158.

I should have typed this up a long time ago.but eh. haha. Anyways, to cut the long story short.Went to a She&Him concert on the 15th at the Glasshouse in Ponoma, CA with Roxanne Miller®, finally getting to see Zooey in real life. A three day trip, drove down(6hr) to Ridgecrest, CA. Stayed at Roxanne Miller®'s place. Went to the concert the next night, drove back to the bay area the morning after.

I really think those youngsters(under 18) really sure can beat us in everything, including all those "cuteness" "nerdyness" on myspace/tumblr/WOW/HALO and etc. I really think we're lucky enough to be born in the eighties and growing up in the nineties, resulting in a well balanced exposure between internet technology and traditional media/real socialization. We can understand new technology

I have to admit, for the past week, I've been visiting bars quite frequently. Some beer, some high bar drinks with popcorn, and with all that comes with come great conversations with other people.  To be honest, it's a bit pricy, 3 dollar a drink is the cheapest I can find so far. But had a few great conversations and meeting news friends. Got smoked by people who smoke, eh, somehow I'm use to

It's funny to think about it. I don't really believe that real peace exist in international relations. Diplomacy soft power can solve a lot of issues, but when you're facing a nation that does not care what you say or do, thats when hard power is needed. I'm quite pro-military to be honest, but it's still going be considerate the last resort in solving problems. But at the same time,

I came to hawaii, I was looking for an answer.I do love my life now. I always have been.Sometimes I think I made myself too busy, too distracted by wanting to make the most of every chance. I often forget to sit down, , to read a book, to enjoy the small moments that is surrounding all of us. But yet at the same time that I tried to make the most of every second of my day, I often felt bored,

First of all, this is nothing about choosing Taylor Swift or Kayne West.It’s true that Kayne did a wrong thing that night. He should be criticized for ruining Taylor’s big moment in her life.But at the same time, I feel sorry for West too, for the mistake he has done at that moment. I know how bad it feels at after he realizes what damage he has done to Taylor.If a person have any sympathy, you

yup.the effects from that movie are still lingering in my head.For example. Dreams. It always contains something about me with Zooey, and erika d getting married or having a relationship with Joseph.(Or sometime it's alyssa h, it either the one of them two)And still in my mind, it never changed, I still believe in the "she's the one" theory.I just can't tell myself that she is not.I mean, I just

Gotta separate yourself from others, the general public.I haven't fully developed my own style yet, but I know what I am doing, and where am I going.These days cause of the popularization of the digital cameras, photography no longer

So after a few months without schooling, my brain went into a no-idea state. Any thoughts deeper than 3mm from the brain surface just doesn't exist anymore. this thoughtful thoughts blog just became:"thoughtless thoughts"I think I need school. Yes, studying make a human's brain more than juicy tofu.Indeed.I've been missing out my Time's reading for quite a while, I think I'll make tomorrow a

so I decided to wash my vans today.It was all clean when I set it to dry, but when it dried I came back to check,some of the colors from the inside bled out.Wasn't expecting that to happen...But I remembered that when I got this pair of vans, they gave me another pair of shoe laces with the scuba color.I decided to put it on, with the slight dye, it looked qute good in fact...A sweet mistake? oh
