I've always been fascinated by these "flash mob" events, most of which I've seen on the news or online. If you dont know what I'm talking about, here's wikipedia's take on this subject ( Read more... )

As it turns out, tropical storm Ernesto didnt have enough punch to be upgraded to a hurricane. Apparently, Ernesto is not even a storm but a tropical depression. Oh well, maybe in another 4 years (when they recyle the names) I'll live up to all my trash talking in my previous post ( Read more... )

Before I continue the story, I would like to point out that there is a tropical storm Ernesto in the Carribean right now and its bound to hit the U.S. mainland sometime next week, most likely turning into a hurricane. I'm not sure if this one's going to be strong but if it is, I take no responsibility in any loss of life, property and internet ( Read more... )

The inner dork in me just can't ignore today's announcement that our dear solar system just "eliminated" poor Pluto off the list of what is considered a planet. Well, the blame for this ridiculous change in defining what a planet really is lies on the even dorkier group of the International Astronomical Union who had a meeting in Prague (I'm sure ( Read more... )

....pooped myself when I found out that the DVD for the first season of Beverly Hills 90210!!!!! is coming out soon (Nov 7). Mark your calendars, and prepare your best 90's get up, I'm going to throw a 90210 (via 90039) party as soon as this comes out.

Since my last entry was just too long that it put my sister to sleep when she was reading it...i'll keep this short. I'M ADDICTED TO PROJECT RUNWAY! "How addicted?" you asked. Well, before this past week's episode where the designers had to create an outfit using recycled materials from a New Jersey recycling facility, I had already made an outfit ( Read more... )

I'm starting a series of stories about fascinating things I've seen/experienced/heard in the past I've been living in L.A. Its such a big metropolis with all sorts of neighborhoods so I dont think I'll run out of stories to tell (that is I can get my lazy self to actually write). What better way to start but to focus on the notoriety of Hollywood ( Read more... )

Seriously, that title is a complete lie. I just used it coz it summarizes my two stories in this post ( Read more... )

I was re-acquainted with the toilet; on my knees, grasping the side of toilet seat. I havent been in that position for a very long time. Last time I was in a such pathetic situation was about my second year of college. Unlike my previous experience (where getting piss-drunk was the main plan)this one sneaked up on me. I was feeling ok till maybe 10 ( Read more... )

Now that I'm done with that stupid qualifying exam and had my research presentation already, I'm pretty much stress-free for the next few months. The only semi-stressful thing now is planning for my trip (well our trip: Chris, Natalie and my sister) to the Philippines this coming October. Cant Wait! I dont want to update both on this site and my ( Read more... )
