Month: December 2005

  • Wooo, celebrated raquel’s b-day at the ice rink today!  So much fun…I’ll post pictures/video later .

    At night raquel and I went to see Chronicles of Narnia
    (finally!).  bumped into dan lee and crystal yu there too; which
    reminds me that I need to hang out w/ my UMBC buddies over the break,
    so call me or something if you wanna do anything.

    Here’s a side by side picture of raquel and rachel mcadams.  See how they resembles each other?

  • Hey guys, I’m back in Maryland!  If you aren’t doing anything this
    break give me a call or something because I know I’m gonna
    chillax!  Yep, i’m not gonna work at AE over break…just not
    worth it.

    This Thursday from 12-2pm we are gonna celebrate Raquel’s b-day
    at the Columbia Ice rink!  if you know her and wanna come please
    just talk to me or her.  If any of you guys in CSA still have a
    free ticket to skate there and aren’t planning on using feel free to
    give it to me!  Raquel and I would greatly appreciate it .

    I got a bunch of new clothes for christmas, so Im not planning on
    buying clothes any time soon.  I’ll post up pics later when i have
    then.

    Ok, back to being lazy

  • Hey guess what guys, i’m in NJ!  Yep, it was a very last minute
    thing…raquel convince to come over for the holidays, so i’ll be up
    here until the 26th. 

    O yea, I got my very first speeding ticket on the way up to NJ
    It was at the very end of the trip when i got pulled over for going 69
    in a 50 mph zone.  I personally didnt think i was going THAT fast,
    but I do admit i was speeding like crazy on the highways
    I still dont know how much the ticket is because i need to called them
    up.  Hopefully i can get it taken care up and hopefully my
    insurance company doesnt finds out.  Raquel’s dad said that since
    the ticket was out of state and the DMV always forget to report to
    insurance companies about tickets I should be ok…but w/e.  I
    knew I would get a ticket sooner or later .

    Happy Holidays guys!

  • –even MORE edit–
    Yes, I finished!  With 3 hours to spare…guess I can check my paper or something.

    Thanks for the Modell’s Gift Card Steph!  Just what I wanted!  O how did you know? 

    GUYS DONT CLICK ON SCOTT’S PAGE!  He’s been infected with the xanga virus…aiya.  Be careful guys!

    –even MORE edit–

    –edit–
    O I’m just starting on my abortion paper now!  Eh I still have time tomorrow…yes…ok back to work
    –edit–

    Right now I’m in the process of doing my two papers that are due
    tomorrow.  I should have finished one yesterday, but I kept
    getting distracted .  W/e, im making
    good progress with my child psych paper and I should be done in another
    couple of hours or so.  Afterwards I can start on my abortion
    paper (the harder one).  Aiya…luckily they are both not due
    until 5pm tomorrow, so I have some time. 

    I’m currently sitting at the Catholic Student Center at CP with raquel
    and laura.  Nice quiet place with an endless supply of cookies,
    snickers, fruit snacks, kool-aid and sprite so it’s all good

    Ok my break is over, back to work.

  • Alright, I’m done with my Exams!  I think I did decently enough
    and I should get As in both my sensation and perception class and my
    experiemental psych class.  Studying was not fun at all tho; today
    I crammed for my experimental psych exam from 6 hours up at the student
    org area.  My right eye started stinging after a while though…i
    wonder if that is a bad thing.

    <—–Dane
    Cook comedy show on Thursday was Awesome!  He repeated some old
    material but they were still funny coming from him.  His new
    material was hilarious.  Got a headache from laughing so hard
    heh.  Good show, eh Danny and Dennis?

    O no, my throat’s feeling scratchy from this long, tiring, rainy, cold
    day…but at least I can relax for a bit until I start on my Phil and
    Child psych paper….nasty

    Good luck to everyone else who still have finals!

  • AHHH stress!

  • –edit—
    What
    do I want for christmas?  I really want a digital camera but
    they’re so expensive.  I wanna get this camera off amazon.com .  You could help me out by giving me a gift certificate at amazon.com!  I’ll be extremely happy…

    Go see King Kong when it comes out!!!!!

    Yea, it was pretty damn good!  Jimmy and I went to
    see it at The Senator on York Road.  The beginning was kinda slow
    (although it is kinda necessary to provide character development), but
    once they got on the island it was non-stop amazement.  You gotta
    see King Kong in the movie because you can feel all of the emotions of
    this computer graphic.  Good job! 

    In no particular order here were my favorite scenes (some spoilers):
    -King Kong versus 3 T-rexs
    -Same scene except now they’re fighting while tangled up in vines above the ground
    -The solo t-rex vs King Kong battle (he freakin bit his tongue out!)
    -The dinosaur trampling scene
    -the scene where they all fell in a pit of large ass bugs (w/ the uncircumsized penis-like bugs haha)
    -the group trying to capture King Kong and then later them retreating
    -when King Kong escape in the auditorium
    -The cab chasing scene through busy New York
    -the army chasing King Kong scene as he jump from building top to building top
    -Finally, most definitely the Empire State Building final stand…perfect.

    overall I’ll give it either an 8.5 or a 9 out of 10
    Some minor problems (slow-ish beginning, unbelieveable character
    actions, the way the last line was delivered) but the good things
    (graphics, King Kong portrayal, Jack Black, Naomi Watts, the action
    scenes) are overwhelming.  When’s the last time a blockbuster movie was able to pull off being emotional? 
    I really hope this does really well in theaters when it comes
    out.  Peter Jackson really knocked this out of the ballpark. 
    Go see it!

  • —EDIT—
    I won two tickets to see a free sneak preview of King Kong tomorrow at
    7pm!  Question is who would wanna go with me?  we would leave
    around 5ish….talk to me asap if you wanna check it out!

    -EDIT—

    Nice chilled week so far…been playing way too much pool and ping pong but I’m getting my studies down too…kinda.

    I figure out that I can keep my A in Experimental Psych as long as I
    get at least a 50% on my final. alllrighht!  gigagagee, gigaggegoo

    Who’s up for Secret Santa?  Whoever I get will be receiving a bunch of UMBC gear from the pro shop

    I’m also probably gonna Minor in Philosophy too…hey why not?  I’m also definitely gonna go for a B.S. in Psychology too…again why not.

    Thursday night I went to see the asian fashion show FACES at CP w/ Marvin.  I can sum up the show in one word:  HOT
    There was something for everyone there:  hot girls (and guys i
    suppose), great fashion, breakdancing, martial arts, rapping,
    singing…almost non-stop.  A girl accidently pulled off her top during the bikini part of the show!  Definitely one of the highlights (right Alan?)

    Aw man, I really hope that we can make the ASIA show at UMBC just as
    hot, or at least close.  If only our show was not just a culture
    show…
