Photo Meme II8
chris lin posted in Personal on February 24th, 2005

I just sold my previous camera, which was a Canon Powershot A80 and bought this beauty which came in today. I want to use it so Chrissie suggested I do another photo meme.

Which is what this is. Just comment on three things you want me to take a picture of and I will. keep it clean though, but I will do some weird things. Just check the old photos from last time on what type of suggestions there were. I will be taking requests til Saturday morning and to let you guys all know, I am going to the Getty museum in the afternoon on Saturday and I can take requests for pictures there too!

[edit: I'll be taking requests til next Wednesday, due to my site fuxoring over the weekend. Please request by choosing 3 things, not like a damn group of things.]

Thanks for the support3

Wow, the success of Placid has been great! I get a lot of emails telling me they have used it and I see a lot of sites in my referrer logs using it. Thanks to all who use it! If you need any help at all, just contact me thru an instant messenger or email. I'll be more than happy to help you out.

On another note, since the regular readers know me, they know I am probably sick of the layout already so I am designing my next theme. It'll be for release also and it looks good so far. The #wordpress channel has given me some good feedback and opinions on what should be changed around and hopefully I'll have it up within a month since life is getting hectic. During that time, I'll be updating Placid with some suggestions and fixes that'll make everyone's lives easier. I'll keep everyone updated….after I beat Knights of the Old Republic II. God, I love that game to death.

I love you Will Smith9

I went with some friends last night to watch Hitch: The Cure for the Common Man. What a funny movie! For some reason, I have always liked Will Smith's movie; maybe because I watched movies like ID4 when I was a kid and grown accustomed to his acting. But ya, when watching the movie, I noticed that everyone laughed from little kids to grown adults. And it was the first FULL theater film I EVER been to that didn't have some retard commenting to the movie or just being an asshole in general. I was in awe.

Dear drivers on the road4
chris lin posted in Personal on February 14th, 2005

This is a public message to all drivers I meet on the road everyday.

GET OFF OF IT!

1. No, I do not like getting cut off and since you will do that, I will tail gate you then.
2. No, driving at the speed limit is not slow, next time leave a few minutes early. And don't try to drive past me in hopes of cutting me off. I will speed up and align myself with another car just so I can trap you in.
3. Girl with the cell phone, the light is green, PAY ATTENTION MORON.
4. At times I want to just slam on my brakes so tail gaters could get into an accident, but that means I will get into one also. Maybe when I am rich one day
5. Some people are so stupid on the road, I wish we could take the driving test every year just so we can filter out the dumbass drivers on the road. Same with old people. Look, I know they are old but that doesn't mean they should drive 25% slower than the speed limit thus creating a big line behind them and slowing us all down

Good to get that off my chest. Anyone else have complaints?

Music Meme5
chris lin posted in Personal on February 10th, 2005

BigJibby decided to greet me with this after a long day at school, the music meme. He didn't even bother to say hello!

So here it is.

1. How many music files are there on your computer?

1871 songs. I just listen to music all day

2. Last CD you bought?

This must be some trick question, why buy when you can download? But seriously, I think it was Will Smith's CD

3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?

I was in the car listening to my Dell DJ, playing Ashanti - Only U.

4. Five songs you often listen to or which mean a lot to you?

Hrm, this is a tricky question. Probably Boyz II Men - Pass You By, Please Don't Go, Usher - Caught Up, Maroon5 - This Love, DJ Tiesto - The Parade Of The Athletes.

5. Who are you going to pass this on to and why?

Definitely Chrissie cause I can. And maybe Firas since I don't know if he listens to music but it'll sure be funny if he doesn't.

Happy Chinese New Year!5

Or Lunar Year, whatever you celebrate. I just came home from dinner with the relatives and I got to play with Elise again. I also got red envelope with $$ inside :). I am heading to sleep since I think Elise got me sick since she was sick and kept on making me play with her. I have this major headache now…

I am broke.1

Saturday night, the team leaders from my club all headed over to the Yard House in Long Beach to eat dinner. Our president wanted this to be a social where we got to know each other so our team would be more comfortable with each other but almost all of us knew each other so it was pointless. Only Robert didn't show since he was on call at work and got called in.

We had fun, took pictures and spent way too much money on food. After we headed over to The Pike and watched Sideways. Good movie, but not something you want to watch late at night. It's comedic at many parts of the movie but it's also mildly slow in my opinion.

I have a confession8
chris lin posted in Personal on February 6th, 2005

I can't seem to keep a layout on for more than 2 months. I don't know how others do it. Ever since Placid was released, I have been working on two layouts, one for a club/program I am in and another for me. But that's another story. How do you guys do it? Everytime I see my layout, I get sick of it more and more and I get even more sad when I notice all the beautiful sites out there.

Is anyone else in the same boat as me or is this a one man ship?
