Maybe I am a masochist
I enjoy spicy food. Maybe a little too much, and I should probably lay off from slathering my food in chili sauce so I don’t get stomach problems in the future. It’s a habit I developed over the years when I feel that the food I am tasting is too bland. My mother believes I inherited [...]

I was a very disillusioned child
I believe as children we all dreamed big about our futures. Billy wanted to be an astronaut and Amy wanted to be a prima ballerina. Thinking back I question some of the possible career choices I had in mind…
Duck: In my defense, I was three. And at age three, people are telling you could be anything, [...]

Jane Austen… not really
I watched Becoming Jane on one of the Starz channels recently. It was basically Austen’s (Anne Hathaway) life before her “big break” in the literary world and her supposed romantic relationship with Tom Lefroy (James McAcvoy).
I was not impressed. The screenplay was actually very original since the most of the information that was derived from [...]

Not so cinematic
It’s another strange week in weather. Actually, the entire summer as a whole has been pretty unusual — even by central New York standards. It’s been pretty rainy and cool with the occasional heat wave of death. And for the past couple of days, it felt as if it was autumn and not the middle [...]

My parents and I went on our annual shopping trip to Philadelphia a couple weeks ago. It was… an adventure to say the least. Pictures will be uploaded as soon as I find time and effort.
Overall, it was a very stressful Saturday. When we were about an hour away from our destination — although in [...]

Okay, I lied. This will be one of the first (and rare) pimp post I will ever make. However, this is warranted because the website is that awesome, it’s called Waiter Rant. I first heard through it from the latest MacBreak Weekly, and I instantly had to go to that blog. Why? Because the blog [...]

Coming this fall!
This is not any of the boxes, crates, or suitcase I need to pack with stuff for moving back on campus. Nope. As I start my sophomore year this semester I have various things I am looking forward to and not looking forward to. Let’s start things off on a light note, because usually crappy [...]

In a world where the media likes to report about child prodigies, it kinda makes the rest of us look bad. But then came Blake Peebles, and he makes us average people feel a lot better about themselves. Pretty much the 16-year-old dropped out of high school to pursue a career as a professional gamer [...]

How to be lame 101
Step 1: Any traces of a social life must be erased.
You must hole yourself in your dwelling and your only access to the outside world is via the internet. Video games, books, TV, and your computer will be your companions.
Step 2: Lack any social graces.
This will only create more awkwardness on your part. An inability [...]

I never really liked the phone. Usually everyone that calls the house thinks I am my mother for some strange reason. I don’t sound like her at all with my Americanized and broken Vietnamese. I don’t answer the phone when I have the house to myself just to spite them.
I have a special loathing towards [...]
