Conditioner?

today I received my shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and deodorant from Walgreens! Yay!!! Have I told u since I’ve started using conditioner, I’ve been obsessed with it? So I opened my conditioner and started to sniff it and the only way to get a large wiff is by squeezing the bottle. One squeeze, not enough. Squeeze harder, not enough. One more try… BLECK! Out comes the conditioner onto my nose. Hehe.

My back was a lot better today. Just remembered I forgot to scan my doodles from my midterms, so I went down to the RCC today and quickly scanned them. I hope you’ll enjoy them. The happy face on the computer wasn’t drawn by me, but was drawn by my lab partner Alice today during discussion.

There’s a sale on DVDs @ Playstation.com (86 dvds for $9.99 including Fight Club). Too bad they ran outta Fight Club when I got there. Bought 5 for a total of $58.31 shipped. Resale value of these 5 are up in the $70-$90 total.

Btw, I missed taking the picture by about 3 minutes. If I was just there 3 minutes earlier, I could’ve taken it. Maybe tomorrow if I remember. Wish me luck guys! ^_^x

My aching back!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! My aching back. Had a back-breaking day (literally). Woke up today and my bad was so sore (neck down to tail bone). Took some Tylenol and this is the first time it has failed me. Didn’t help at all! When I was in class, I tried to turn around to look at the clock to check the time. Hurt so bad that I had to turn my whole body around to do it. Guess I slept in a bad posture.

Today’s the first sign of good news. Entering my discussion expecting to fail my last midterm, but thank god I passed!!! The grader was also very lenient cause I found parts where I could definitely have taken points off, but he/she didn’t.

As for the picture of the week. I’m still working on it. Due to special circumstances, it’ll either be up in the next few days or it’ll just have to wait till next week. Sorry about that. But at the mean time, I have a temporary pic of the week up. I hope you guys will like it. It’s not much, but it’s sorta pretty.

Sigh, halfway through updating this website, I fell asleep as dead as a mule (is that the saying? Or is it a different animal). Didn’t even get to check a card a very special friend sent me. However, I just bought another DVD-Drive and an EIDE Controller so I can have a dvd player on my system. Yah, I know, a waste of money, but that’s me! ^_^x

one of the saddest days in my education history

today marks one of the saddest days in my education history. Never had I been so depressed over grades. This may well be the worst week I’ve ever had in Berkeley. I may be cold or abnormal for the past few days and even into next week. Please disregard that me for I’m having an internal turmoil and brain isn’t functioning in normal mode. Sigh, I basically failed all my midterms. Well, I’ve gotten hope and determination and WILL BE WELL PREPARED for Round 2! BRING IT ON!!!

Was hoping to bring u a better story today, but not really in the mood. Maybe tomorrow. =(

Actually, I’ll post up a very this really cute clip of a kitty. Been on my hard drive for some time and now I don’t even recall where I got it from. Hope you’ll enjoy it. ^_^x

Frying an Egg on a CPU!

we’ve always claimed the cpus (especially cyrix and amd) can get so hot it can fry an egg. However, not many ppl have actually seen this happen. Thanks to panzer for providing this thread: How to fry and Egg on an XP!. Really awesome post! ^_^x

Thanks to damion, I got myself a copy of Warcraft 3 beta! W00h00!!! Since warcraft 2 and starcraft, this game has been the most anticipated game on my list. The game is awesome and was completely worth the wait. The 3d textures is extremely nice, game play is smooth and the AI got smarter!!! Besides humans and orcs, there are now the undead and nightelves which I find very interesting. Was attacking with an alive tree. Reminds me of Pocahontas! Lol! Anyway, that game kept me busy for several hours and kept me from doing hw. Bad krunk bad krunk. ;p

I just realized how great it is doing math @ 5am is. Just finished watching Prince of Egypt again (and I do recommend watching it for it is one of the best animated story with an awesome plot). During the movie, I had no idea what was going on and I never did to begin with (that’s why I got a C on my first midterm). HOWEVER, after the movie, I sat down and started blasting mp3s in my headphones and I finished 2 sections within 30 mins with complete understanding (that’s 11 outta the 17 problems I was assigned for hw). Now I realized why I always do hw late @ nite and not during the afternoon/evening. I guess this is the time I have the clearest state of mind. Too bad social traditions say it’s good to sleep early and rise early. Sigh.. gotta wake up @ 10am tomorrow and it’s 6am already. ~ciao~

Psych midterm answers are posted and I just scored myself a 24/50 (F!). yuck. Muy muy yucky!!! Hopefully everyone in class didn’t do too well and lower the curve. (big hope there tho). Thanks to mechy: article, hilarious article by Berkeley’s humor magazine Squelch. Describes exactly how I feel ;p.

Some problems came up with my picture of the week and seems like either it’s going to be late or I’ll have to change my original plans. Hopefully, I’ll have something nice by Wednesday, or maybe I can go through my archives! Hehe.

Hikaru no Go

as u may have noticed, I haven’t been saying anything of substance lately. But I’ve been getting huge response from posting 2 threads on my favorite 2 forums. Well, one favorite, the other is just a regular source. (u can find them on the left under Hot Deals) I reached a record high of 84 unique visitors in 1 day and this is just one small dinky website. Sorry I wasn’t able to provide any useful substance to anyone.

Today Pikachu and I decided to watch anime and while we were watching Hikaru no Go (english summary), I thought our pose was very cute. Hikaru no Go is an awesome anime I just got into. There are currently 15 episodes out (first released by soldats, now by elite-fansubs). Here’s some pix (pic1 pic2) from the latest episode. Sai’s (the guy with the tall hat, long hair, and white suit) my favorite character! He’s so ~KAWAII~. Hey! Green looks good on this purple background! Thought it was going to blend in like the red above. I’m also providing the mp3s to the opening and closing theme, respectively. They’re also addicting ;p.

I just realized that yesterday wasn’t Sunday. Lol. Posted the answer on the wrong day. Oh well, moved it up here so not to confuse others. Went to sleep again at 7am and woke up at 5pm. Just loved the weekends. ^_^x

As for the riddle, the correct ages of the 3 granddaughters are 2, 2, 9. Here’s why:

you have to assume old man #2 knows the house number
he tries every combination to get 3 numbers to add up to the street number and the multiply to be 36
if you find all the combinations of 3 numbers to equal 36, you find that the sum of all the combinations are different besides 2,2,9 and 1,6,6 which adds up to 13.
the only reason why old man #2 asked if old man #1 forgot to tell him something was because apparently it landed on one of those 2 combinations, or else knowing the street number and 36, he would’ve been able to guess what the 3 ages the 3 granddaughters were.
by telling him that his oldest granddaughter has blue eyes literally means he only has one oldest age granddaughter.
so the answer is 2,2,9

Good news to computer maniacs that live near me @ home! Fry’s has finally opened a store in City of Industry. Supposedly only a 5 minute drive from my house. Many of you may have had bad experiences with Fry’s, but this store is new meaning… the stuff they have aren’t repackaged refunded items!!! W00h00!! ^_^x

Never argue with an idiot

sorry about not updating last nite. Was busy with my CS project and a party was going on when I came back. It was a crazy night, everyone was drunk, we were playing truth or dare (u should’ve seen me belly-dancing, it was horrible but made everyone laff ;p). went to bed @ 7am and had a good long sleep till 5:30pm today.

Thanks to mandalayx for providing the link to these hilarious rules of IM.

As I was reading a thread from Anandtech, I came upon this quote: “Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.” Thought it was really funny and worth mentioning to those who actually read my logs.

CONGRATS ON Mark Keppel’s 2002 Science Olympiad Team for making state!!!!
Last I heard, they were 5th in regional but who knows? I heard that the remaining events that haven’t been scored were areas they believed they did well in!!!! YAY!!

Ages of the GrandDaughters

so tired. Been running all day on 2 hrs of sleep since this morning @ 8am. Not going to talk much today, just a riddle I got from a CS TA during our midterm yesterday. Supposedly when u get interviewed by Microsh*t, the first question they ask you is a riddle. So here goes:

Two old men were sitting on a porch. Old man #1 asked old man #2 to guess the ages of his 3 granddaughters. The sum of their ages is equal to the street number of this house. The product of their ages is equal to 36. Old man #2 began to ponder and then looked up and said, “You forgot to tell me something, didn’t you?” Old man #1 thought for a second and said, “Oh yeah! My oldest granddaughter has blue eyes.” Old man #2 then immediately gave the correct answer.

How old were the 3 granddaughters?

(answer will be posted on Sunday night)

Midterms are OVER!

PICTURE OF THE WEEK has been updated!!! Really pretty! ^_^x I’ve also got plans for next weeks picture already, thanks to the great sammu.

I just came back from an arduous study session with mecha on psychology which we have a midterm today (technically 12 hrs from now) I’m so freakn tired. Woke up @ 7:40am yesterday and had ~8hrs of school and then 4 hrs of studying for psych (first time the book was cracked open, hehe) Came back and died on my desk. Was later woken up by my suitemates and then been playing with my computer since. My study session with mecha was very interesting. According to Sigmund Freud, slip of the tongue represents some type of release of your internal self. During the course of our study session, we came across a name Horney (horn – eye) and mecha basically said horny. We had such a blast and couldn’t stop laffing after realizing he pronounced it wrong.

FINALLY!!! MIDTERMS for this week are over! Totally bombed my Psych one, but it’s okay cause I never really did anything for that class (in a psychological point of view, this would be a defense mechanism theorized by Sigmund Freud. Basically, the only reason I’m not feeling too bad is because I believe or HOPE that no one did that well too) My Computer Science (oh god! I almost had a heart attack)… As I was walking down to my midterm @ 7pm, I rethought… was the midterm @ 5-7 or 7-9? Last year’s midterm (cs3 – same teacher: Dan Garcia) was from 5-7) oh sh*t!!!! I started sweating and panicking. What am I going to DO????? As I was walking toward the building, I saw more and more people walking the other way. CS61A is a very big class and NO ONE was walking the same way as me!!!! Being to VLSB (Valley Life Science Building) for my first time, I was also lost and asked for direction. I got in and found the room, walked in and they were just starting to give instructions (YES! YES! I was practically thanking god for this). The midterm went really well, and our whole midterm group (yes, there was an individual section and a group section) went out to Mel’s (basically SoCal’s Johnny Rockets) for a little celebration.

Cat’s in the Cradle

there’s a song that I’ve really liked that my friend liam showed me a few days ago. Harry Chapin – “Cat’s in the Cradle” has been playing on repeat on my winamp for several days already. Click here to d/l the mp3 or click here to see the lyrics. The lyrics are very meaningful and I believe it illustrates modern society and how typical parent and children relationships are formed. A somewhat gloomy song which has caused me to reflect on how I’ve treated my parents… At first I thought this song was by Cat Stevens, but according to many websites, that’s a common misconception where the true artist is really Harry Chapin. I hope you guys will enjoy this song as much as I did.

Just got my SouthWest newsletter today. What doesn’t make sense is how come a trip to/from LAX to Oakland is more expensive than a trip to/from LAX to Phoenix, AZ!

Los Angeles, CA
$46 one-way, to/from Oakland, CA
$39 one-way, to/from Phoenix, AZ

That just doesn’t make sense to me. Sigh. Airfares used to be $30, then $34, then $39, and now $46. Stupid 911 event. =(

Bad news and good news on my midterms. Just got my midterm back from Math53M (multivariable calculus). Got a C. not too happy with it and am really pissed cause I know I could’ve done better if I tried to study. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Physics midterm was pretty ez today, got most of the questions and BSed some. Hehe. Hope I do well on this one and not blow it like my Math53.

Added the links page up with several of my old websites up and my friend argghman’s link has been moved there. For those who haven’t seen my psx or prom website, they’re ALIVE!!! The picture of the week will be changed tomorrow. So be sure to come back and check it. ^_^x

3D Game Motion Sickness

thanks to n0rybic for providing this article: Motion Sickness: Common Among Gamers?. It basically talks about motion sickness which I have contracted through playing to many 3d shooting games when I was younger. Back then it was all about duke nukem 3d and any new 3d shooting game that came out, I was there to at least give it a try. I recall the last 3d shooting game I was able to play non-stop was Jedi Knight because it had a light saber and I love sword fights. 8hrs @ a time playing finally blew up my brain I’ve decided and now if I play fast motion 3d shooting games such as QIII or Unreal Tournament, I won’t last over 30mins before a pounding headache starts. I can still manage with Max Payne and Rainbow Six cause those are much more slow paced than the previous mentioned games.

Slept @ 7am and woke up @ 5pm, nice. That’s how all my schedules should be but life is never that easy. Got several more compliments on my tail today and I’ve decided to keep it till @ least my next hair cut.

If u notice, my links now change colors and become bold! W00h00! I will be bring back several of my old webpages tomorrow. Goodbye for now cause I have a midterm tomorrow and haveta wake up @ 8am and there’s hw for me to do right now. ;p
