The first picture below shows what happens when you hit a tire kicked up by the car in front of you at 70mph, it cracked my fog housing, popped out my parking sensor and completely scratched up my car.

after trying out multiple scratch remover, rubbing compound, I read it on the car forum that the film maker recommends using 70% isopropyl alcohol, and it did the trick! after rubbing it for at least an hour in the 140F garage in AZ, the result is below. 90% of the scuff marks are gone, and it will be perfect if I ever remove the clearbra. What a great investment.

Wow, just realized that I haven’t updated anything for such a long time, not sure when I’ll get around to posting all the pictures, but below is from the most recent trip to Oahu, Hawaii. 2009 reunion trip =) I’ll upload the rest whenever I get the chance!

Hawaii Reunion Crew 2009!

I rarely post videos from other sources, but this is too entertaining. They are one of the friendliest airlines I’ve been on and that’s why I almost fly them exclusively for domestic flights. Amazing talent.

[UPDATE] I was not too happy with the all black keyboard and wanted a little contrast, so I bought the silver keyboards off an AT&T version of the 8900 and put it on mine, I think it looks so much better (compared to the below image), agree? I’ve also put a black batt cover instead of the silver one from T-Mobile to make it flow better.

Second Gen Curve

My new phone, this thing is too sexy to not upgrade to from my old 8320.

Immediately after McG’s, we went to meet up with more Ryan’s coworkers and friends at City Walk for Howl at the Moon Piano Bar, it was probably the “high-est” place I’ve been in a while, we had to leave the place because it was way too crowded and when we went back to it after 2 hours, it got even worse! We were forced to migrate to the brewery directly across, Karl Strauss started its brewery in San Diego and was my favorite beer in college. After this, we ended up in Jillians which I have to note myself to never go again, it became a hispanic dance club after hours, nothing wrong with it, but it gave me the chills.

This past weekend, I finally went to the bar that my friends have been raving about, McG’s Irish Pub and Gill in Chatsworth. We went a bit too early so the place wasn’t too crowded, it was actually a good thing as drinks came really fast and we spent a quite bit of time throwing darts. What’s good about this place was their selections of beers and of course, we drank 2 pitchers of Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse.

That was me attempting to play with Ryan

After the company’s Christmas party at Bourbon Steak House in Scottsdale, a few of us decided it was way too early to go back, so they all came to my place for an after party of drinking and guitar heroes. I was busy making Mojitos & mixing other drinks, so again, not too many pictures especially the people that left early, sorry! (more…)

Butt Cup

To my surprise, my homo college bro, Mr. Eric Tsai , now residing in Taiwan sent this to me along with a handwritten card wishing me birthday, what a sweet guy, If I were a girl, I would be all over him already, jk jk. What is that you ask? that’s a cup with a butt printed on it from Thailand, only he and I will understand the meaning behind this. Can’t wait to see this guy again in Taiwan in 3 weeks!

For those who can’t read, the center means “Love” and the surrounding means “rest”. Yes yes, I am full of love =) this site is pretty accurate and funny.

If you go here, it will display 4 words that closely describes you and too bad my version of the wordpress does not have multi-language support but mine basically means “Ideal double best // extra best // highest quality Prince” in English, that made my day! Unlike a certain robber who has a taste for stinky items

My boss Jojo sipping on Paris Tea

Before we went shopping, I went with my boss to one of her favorite afternoon tea house in Carefree, AZ. All the tea and pretty much everything from the English Rose Tea Room was imported from England. Despite the pink overload, the pastries, soup and tea were excellent. Not to mention there are hats and coats available for anyone who likes to dress up. (more…)
