  • Found a 5-year-old Firecracker ice pop in the back of my freezer…still tastes good! Quite refreshing too. #
  • Goodbye Spring! I miss your mid-70′s weather already! T_T #
  • Watching the World Cup and Wimbledon (at work)! #
  • Yay free pizza for lunch today! I requested buffalo chicken pizza, hopefully they’ll order it! #
  • Found the next USB flash drive I want to buy. http://www.adata-group.com/?action=product_feature&cid=1&piid=19 #
  • Go USA! Very excited for today’s World Cup action! (also happy that S.Korea made it through to the knockout round yesterday) #
  • Found this article about watching the World Cup during working hours. Looks like we’re doing it right! http://goo.gl/J3OX #
  • Incredible finish! USA 1-0 over Algeria! The office is going wild! #
  • Watching the 2nd most exciting event today. John Isner vs. Nicholas Mahut at Wimbledon still playing the longest tennis match ever. #
  • Hoping Greivis Vasquez (and Eric Hayes and Landon Milbourne) from the University of Maryland get picked during the NBA Draft. #
  • Really liking the bear hug Greivis gave David Stern after he got drafted by the Grizzlies with the 28th pick. #
  • For the first time ever, I finally had a pen run out of ink. #
  • Might have to pass by the National Zoo to see the newborn red panda! Irresistibly cute! http://goo.gl/bni4 #
  • Go USA! Back in the game with a penalty kick by Donovan! #
  • So sad, USA is out of the World Cup. Now I only have Japan left to cheer for. :( #

  • Saw a guy walking around chinatown in NYC with an open umbrella. Must have been preparing early, because it started raining 5 hours later. #
  • There’s a new intern who’s staying for the summer (son of a coworker). Finally I’m not the youngest one in the office anymore. #
  • So very sad that the candy bowl hasn’t been filled for over a month now. #
  • Eating some fresh pineapple slices to get rid of the aftertaste from these horrible-tasting kettle-style potato chips I found at work. >_< #
  • Jackie Chan Hates Karate Kids :O http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85WNaVTXVaI #
  • Kirby looks so cute in his new game, “Kirby’s Epic Yarn”. Becoming a must-buy for the Wii. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqcvM_MiREo #
  • Vuvuzelas officially banned at Yankee Stadium! http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2010/06/17/yankees-ban-vuvuzelas/ #
  • Quite disappointed that Team USA was ripped off by Malian referee Koman Coulibaly. No foul, no offisides. At least they’re still alive. #
  • Have to pull a stick of DDR2 RAM from my computer to help revive my dad’s computer. Hopefully in doing so, I won’t kill both of them. #
  • Turns out that the video card on the computer died. Good thing I had an old 7900GT lying around. Back up and running! (and happy parents) #
  • Just watched G.I. Joe on DVD. Terrible script and corny jokes, but the fight scenes between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were pretty good. #
  • Finished watching “Invictus” starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Excellent movie and the best I’ve seen this year since “Up!”. #

  • Dragon Boat Race Day! Wish me luck! http://paddleforpink.org/ #
  • Muscles are getting stiff, but dragon boat racing this morning was lots of fun. (I blame the “pro” steerer for not getting first place) #
  • Wanted the to eat the espresso chip ice cream, but had to finish up the cherry vanilla instead. #
  • Just found out that you can use custom pictures (or photos from picasa) on the Google homepage now (lower left corner). #
  • Getting a huge bruise on my left knee by hitting it while playing tennis is not good. Limped around for another hour until it got dark. :( #
  • Finished watching the Jackie Chan film “The Spy Next Door”…not one of his best movies. Hearing them call him “Bob Ho” was just strange. #
  • Finally eating the Espresso Chip ice cream…and with fresh blueberries this time. #
  • For the next month, there’s no more CNBC 24/7 around here. Everyone is watching World Cup “football” now. #
  • Laffy Taffy Joke of the Day: How do you get a free light bulb? Catch a Lightening Bug. #
  • Waking up early to go to Tai Chi practice with my dad…and to see a little South Korea vs. Greece World Cup action. #
  • GOOOOOOOOOAL Lee Jung-Soo of S.Korea! Then a Korean guy got the ball kicked in his face by his own teammate. #
  • Got to Tai Chi practice late, so I missed the 24-form style. Ended up going running, then got a bubble tea and French vanilla cappuccino. #
  • Never really disliked any musical instrument before, but after 2 days of the World Cup I’m putting the Vuvuzela at the bottom of my list. #

  • Happy Memorial Day! …time to go shopping (again)! #
  • Decided that now the new computer is almost complete, I’ll focus in on something more important…quality cooking equipment. ^_^ #
  • This Dell 24 inch monitor is massive, imagine if I went for the 30 incher… #
  • Internal body clock still thinks it’s a Wednesday today. #
  • Happy National Doughnut Day! …and Krispy Kreme is giving them away for free! http://easyuri.com/b30d4 (too bad the closest one is in NYC) #
  • :( got stung by a wasp while playing tennis #
  • Just finished watching the movie Ong Bak 2. Decent fight scenes, had nothing to do with the original, and still confusing by the end. #
