I've always had a distant relationship with Best Buy, but I think they're kinda cool now.
They paid me $10 and a copy of Windows 7 to upgrade my laptop :D
I'll explain my story later.. I'm off to play with my new laptop :D |

| You are overburdened! and Maybe Moving to Washington |
[Oct. 16th, 2009|09:23 am] |
I need to find a way to ZA WORLDO and stop time to catch up on sleep and work. I've basically had 20-22 hour work days for the past two weeks and I've started to majorly burn out. At least I think the stress is good-ish for me. It pushes me to be more productive with my time since there's so little of it. It's not exactly working too well, but eventually I'll get things done.
So it was job fair week.. and I was running around like crazy to talk with all the different companies. The one that gave me the best impression is Microsoft... who is headquartered in Redmond, Washington. Seattle DOES look very cool but......... Washington? o.o I love California, and I love the Bay Area. If it's a super duper awesome deal, I'll probably go up to Microsoft for a year or so and see how it works out. I really miss all my friends in NorCal though. |

My life is quite upside down right now. I'm being swamped by work and obligations and generally swept away from anything concrete or solid. I haven't really been on AIM.. I don't really read my emails. I'm struggling to work through everything day by day without any real direction on what's going on.
I guess I've been on haitus from the internet too. This is my first time checking LJ this month.
The phrase "sailing with no rudder" is very cliche, but it's a very accurate description of what's going on in my life right now. |

I broke my camera. I was picking it up off a seat, and the strap got caught on the arm rest and the whole thing hit the ground. The lens filter for my $700 lens is shattered and bent, so I can't get it off to see if any damage happened to the actual lens. The hotshoe guides are bent too, so I can fit my flash into it anymore.
*crying over very expensive spilt milk* :( |

| Bitter and Burnt Out |
[Sep. 12th, 2009|02:00 am] |
One of the things about my personality that I pride myself over is my carefreeness. I'm eternally optimistic and believe life is an experience, good and the bad included. I don't believe naysayers until I've tried it, and I fancy myself thinking of impossible or improbable.. yet still grounded with an ounce of realistic ideas. I like to keep my mind as open as possible and try not to limit myself to jumping to conclusions too quickly. My greatest fear is having that naiveness and good naturedness erode away over time into bitterness and cynicism throughout growing up in life. It happens eventually, but I want to fight it as long as possible and stay a kid.
Unfortunately, that's exactly how I've been feeling as of late. Infact, this was pointed out to me at my final performance review at NetApp. My manager commented that I lack enthusiasm at work and didn't exhibit any initiative for my project. I'll admit that I hit a major slump in the middle of summer where I started to really zone out figuring out my project, but I wasn't aware that I changed that much. This is quite disheartening since this feels like a 180 in my personality. I would like to blame my project for not engaging me in a fun and exciting way, but I won't have such liberties of picking and choosing all my projects in the future.
I need to go reclaim my optimism and get a fresh outlook on life. I feel like I've fallen into a ditch and can only trudge around in circles right now. |

| 9! |
[Sep. 10th, 2009|01:53 am] |
9 was stylistically awesome. Storyline and pacing.. a little myeh. I also feel like the movie's cheating because it has such an interesting style and intrigue about the story that if the movie was horrible, I still would've liked it. In the end, I really liked the movie, but there wasn't too many notable things about it.
I think I would've liked it better as a tv series or a video game. In that format, they would have more time to explore the environment and the characters. |

| Memories of Old Friends |
[Sep. 2nd, 2009|06:29 pm] |
One of the greatest things about going to Sac-anime was hanging out with old friends that I haven't seen in a while. It dawned on Senritsu and I that we have known each other for five years. It's been so long that we started forgetting details about our stories together. Looking back, I have a lot of memories with friends that seem kinda hazy and just out of grasp. I kinda remember the first time I met Nessa. I don't remember at all how I first met BART-Boy. Sometimes it feels like certain people has always been there. Thankfully, I usually take pictures of people I meet when I first meet them, so I can always remember that point. I have an ooold photo of CJ eating a gloomy bear. My first photo of Amy was just because she had an interesting cosplay on. I took a picture of Senritsu because we were trying to return a plate, and she held it up to display it. I hope to continue this trend throughout my life so I can always look back at the beginning.
The best part about old friends.. even though the passage of time will make us forget about the past, friends are always there to build new memories together in the present. I'll always remember the epic game of Munchkin with Kasou and Nessa and crew at Sac. Hanyaan had a set of portable speakers and was blaring trolling music from it. Aurora finally moved out sleeping in hotel closets and settled for a uncomfortable lumpy foam bed instead. That's why I like cons.. it's always fun times no matter what's happening.
AND! Let's not forget making new friends. There's the TWEWY cosplayers and overly affectionate couple from Aurora's room. I remet (and kinda reintroduced myself to) some people from Nessa's cosplay group. I got to do a photoshoot with a random stranger. I also chatted with this hella cute artist girl at the Yaoi-con booth, but I never got her name or any info except for a picture. If anybody knows who she is, let me know XD
I should post all those ancient pictures of my current friends and plague them with old memories :3 |

| Death to Yahoo! D: |
[Aug. 25th, 2009|08:46 pm] |
I did the unthinkable.. I'm transferring all my email from Yahoo! Mail to Gmail. I really really liked my Yahoo! Mail account, and I resisted switching over to Gmail for a really really long time even though threading is awesome. A number of factors made me switch over though.. more and more people were using Google Groups. People started inviting me to events through the Google Calendar. There's also Google Docs and sharing was a convoluted mess trying to get working. The final nail in the coffin is me using Google Voice. I imported all of my cell phone numbers, and it just became massively more convenient to link people's numbers with their emails.
It didn't help that Google has an easy import utility from Yahoo! mail accounts either. My only excuse for not switching was that I would lose all of my old emails. Now, my old emails are sitting happily in my Gmail... all 8000 of them. |

| Beyond Good and Evil Music |
[Aug. 19th, 2009|03:45 pm] |
From Wikipedia:
It is unknown if the cast of the original Beyond Good & Evil is coming back to work on Beyond Good & Evil 2. However, it is confirmed that Christophe Héral, the man who composed the music for the original game, will be back to write the musical score.
I need to get prepared for the most epic music ever. Chrono Cross is probably the only other game I know that rivals for "best music" in my mind. |

| Uber PIc Spam from New People Opening |
[Aug. 16th, 2009|12:31 pm] |
I learn a couple things about runway photography. Namely, I need to figure out my flash settings better because it's required in harsh sunlight. I also found out that my love of taking portrait shots has doomed me for fashion photography. I tend to like to take most of my pictures from the waist up. Anyways, here's the pictures.
( Tons of photos ) |

| Fulfillment of a Dream |
[Aug. 16th, 2009|01:54 am] |
The past couple of weekends have really been living the dream for me. Last weekend, I hung out with and did a photoshoot for Hakuei from Penicillin. He's a model for Black Peace Now and was in SF to host a pre-release event. I made some new friends over at Cure USA and generally had a good time.
Today, I went up to SF again for the grand opening of the New People building. I got tons of great shots of the opening ceremony, took loads of pictures of the fashion show, met some of the models from the show, got to see the new stores, and hung out with the Cure USA people some more. It was a really busy day. I haven't felt this enthusiastic about a photography assignment since doing a modeling shoot for Alina last year. I feel like I'm really going places now. I look forward to seeing where I'll end up next.
This is something I want to do throughout my life. I really liked dressing up (in this weird urban utility style I have now o.O), trekking through a city, networking with tons of people and bumping into a bunch of people I know, and taking a ton of photos. In this day alone, I bumped into ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) j9isawesome, xel_ko, deepsetthinker, ama_ningyo, tidus, jub1lee, Cindy, Daniella + Tamar + Annaliese + Nick + Nur in a giant group. It was so great seeing everybody again.
I owe it all to Bob-chan :] Thank you so much for all the opportunities I've had recently. I feel like I finally have enough experience under my belt to consider myself a good photographer rather than just some guy dicking around with a camera. |

[Aug. 15th, 2009|01:40 am] |
Wow.. this is.. so bad. Kelly linked this page on LJ, and I opened it up in a new tab, but TL:DRed it for a while and just left it open in my browser. Apparently, he took it down now after caving in to all the backlash he got for what he wrote. Fortunately :] I still have it if anybody wants to read what was going down.
( John C. Wright LJ Post - More Diversity and More Perversity in the Future! )
Considering most people's reactions was "who the hell is this guy?", I wonder if he just committed author suicide. My only regret is that I couldn't read how stupid the comments must have been. |
