It’s my parents’ anniversary today so I went back to B&N for a couple more frappuccinos (Caffe Vanilla and Soy Strawberries & Creme). ^_^ #
Excited that Rock Band 3 is apparently getting the keyboard as the next instrument. Finally something familiar…or at least used to be. #
Just picked up a Dell U2410 monitor on sale (still expensive :x)! #
Can’t believe how much stuff I’m packing for a 5-day vacation…camera, laptop, nintendo DS, tennis racquet, iPod, food…and probably more. #
Saw all of two minutes of American Idol this year, the reveal of the winner. Have to say the winner was not impressive. #
Overheard from the guy at Costco giving out Chex Mix samples: “They’re the 4th wonder of the world for the 5th millenium.” #
Something is a little wrong when I wake up at 6, shower, eat breakfast, then go back to sleep at 9…must be vacation mode kicking in. #
Exciting vacation activity #1: Installing pendant lights in my brother’s kitchen. #
Exciting vacation activity #2: Spending 4 hours at Ikea buying furniture (at least they had free Swedish coffee and breakfast) #

Wow! What a win for the Yankees! Take a look at this probability graph of the game. http://bit.ly/b6jmRA *clap clap* #
Oops, I just had two cups of hot chocolate. #
NJ Nets got ripped off and only got the 3rd pick in the NBA draft. So sad…so very sad. http://bit.ly/d1B02p #
I think I’ll be passing by my local B&N to use this coupon… http://easyuri.com/ab2b4 :) #
Yay Blizzard finally sent me a Starcraft II beta key that I’ve been waiting months for…and apparently closes at the end of May. #
If you see Pac-Man roaming around, give him a hug (or some fruit) for his 30th birthday…or go to google.com for a cool interactive game. #
Energizing for Dragon Boat practice #2 with a sweet topping red bean bun. #
Nothing like a few (B1G1) frappuccinos on a hot day. Picked caramel and java chip this time. #

Happy Mother’s Day! Give your mom a hug and a kiss (and maybe a half-price frappuccino) on this special day! #
Woke up at 6AM because of the sun. Way too early considering I leave for work at 8:30. I’m going to pay for this by the end of the day :( #
Eating a “black-n-white” cupcake. “Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream.” #
Just had some Korean Aloe drink. Quite refreshing and it was on sale! #
My caffeine immunity is apparently gone now. Two cups of mocha coffee did the trick. Drinking a bottle of water to balance it out. #
Set a personal record for “latest time leaving the office” at 7:15PM. Good thing they have lots of snacks available to stave off starvation. #
So my dad decided to go to work today…in my car…with my glasses on the dashboard… Feeling half-blind with my old backup pair. :( #
Finally got my half-price frap today! That Venti Mocha Frappuccino really hit the spot after a round of tennis. :) #

Just saw more motorcycles riding by in my neighborhood than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. #
Yay, official release date for Starcraft II: July 27th! #
Eating a cup of wild berry sherbet. Insanely hot in here, time to turn the A/C back on. #
Discovered a huge bowl of gummi bears at work…ended up eating about 30 of them by day’s end. #
Great job, @JohnQuinonesABC on “What Would You Do?” tonight. Especially enjoyed the “bike stealing” segment. #

Woke up early for Dragon Boat racing practice today…and they canceled it. Back to bed. #
Just ordered a new tennis racquet, 2 tennis bags (one for my brother), and a pack over overgrips. #
Finished re-watching season 1 of Prison Break. On to season 2! #
Just what I’ve been waiting for all these years: the Canon Rebel T2i (EOS 550) Jackie Chan Edition! http://easyuri.com/a009d #
New tennis gear arriving today: check, nice weather outside: check. Looks like a good day to play tennis! #
Honest Tea tests Wall Street’s honesty. Saw this on CNBC: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/28/honest-tea-tests-wall-str_n_555069.html #
Lucky me, I got to the last of the coffee ice cream before anyone had a chance to finish it up! #
Finished my Dragon Boat practice for today. The expert there rated our team as “fair to good”. Pretty decent considering our inexperience. #
