Just got back from Atlanta... I went to Atlanta two days in a row. Today I went there because my friend, Sergeon wants my help in getting some furniture from IKEA. IKEA in Atlanta is fairly new and it is very nice. I think I will buy some things from IKEA when I get back to seattle. Anyway... we got rained on just as we drove back into Auburn. We were able to get everything inside without too much rain on the furniture. Well, afterward, we went to fill out the truck and every gas station around Auburn are lined with cars and trucks. I don't know what's going on. It took us about 15 + minutes before we were able to get gas. After I got home, my Dad said that there might be a shortage of gas that is why everyone is filling up. I also saw my friend in Seattle saying that the gas price is around $3.14!!!! WOW... talk about high gas prices!!! |

Well... it took me a while... but I am all done... well.. almost... the slow cable modem is still uploading all the original pictures, but the site is up and everyone can see all the pictures from last night's party. Like I said before, I had alot of fun... but I do have one question. What was the 55 dollars for? Because for some reason, I feel like the reunion company really ripped us off. The event was fun, but they provided no additional service for 55 dollars. With 55 dollars a person, I think we could at least have an open bar right? Well.. the finger food was mediocre and there was no organized introduction or welcome back. I think we could have done a better job with classmate in Auburn organizing the reunion then the reunion company. Well, that is just my 2 cents. I hope everyone enjoy the pictures. If there are any questions on how to get prints, please let me know. |

Being home is great... I don't have to worry about that to eat for dinner. Mom's cooking is the best. Well, the reunion is around 8:00 pm. Kind of later then I expected, but I check and double checked and that is what time they are having the reunion. My batteries are all charged up, so I hope I can have better pictures tonight. Anyway... got to go for a walk with my parents.... sure is nice to be in Auburn... and I do have lot of memories here in Auburn. |

Well.... It is so good to be home. Last night was a lot of fun. I've got a chance to see many of my friends from high school. Most people did not bring their camera, so I became the default camera man. Which is fine and I had a lot of fun. The pictures turned out so so... The light condition was very poor so I had to use high ISO and low shutter speed. So there are some blurred pictures. But over all, they were great and it shows everyone having a fun time. During lunch today is the family picnic, which I think I will miss, but tonight is the main event. I hope I get to see some more of my friends that I did not see yesterday. For now... go and take a look at the pictures. |

Education has really gone up in price Well, I been trying to get started with continuing education.... I figure ... It has almost been 6 years since college.. and I guess I better start learning again... besides... I don't have anything better to do... Anyway, I was trying to filling out an application for work to get tuition reimbursement and after I was finally done and approved, I started to register for one class for fall. Just one class. It is a distance learning class. Anyway... it was around 300 dollars per credit hour... so it means for a 3 credit hour class it is around 900 dollars. Ok ... that is already pretty expensive .. or at least I thought.... I mean... I remember when I was in college ... I was paying around 900 dollars for 15 credit hours per quarter. Anyway, so my application will filled out with the 900 dollars amount in place. When I was registering, I realized that there is a content delivery fee... of 200 or so dollars per credit hours... So that mean it will be an additional 500 dollars for the class either on streaming media or CD's. You've got to be kidding me. So the class now is around 1400 dollars for 3 credit hours. EEK!!! Well... I need to talk to our auditor tomorrow to make sure that I can get that paid for. Or else... I will have to shell out another 500 dollars... and that will really hurt. Anyway... all that in the name of continuing education... ha ha ha .. :-) |

ok .... the answer from the pop quiz a few days ago... well... first off... I could not figure it out ... and i had some help from my little sis. yeah... I am so embarrassed... anyway... I will try to explain the logic why the answer should be 9/1 because of the first statement... 6/7 and 12/2 can not be possible... because 7 and 2 are both unique dates...Because of this ... months 6 and 12 are also elminated.... because if it is that month... person B would know it. so now that leave us with 3/4 3/5 3/8 9/1 9/5 so the second statemen says...Person B: I did not know it originally, but I now it now means... person B would know the date ... so 3/5 and 9/5 is elminated because it is duplicated... now we are left with 3/4 3/8 9/1 now the 3rd statement Person A: Oh, Now I know it. ... now you shift prespective to person Asince he knows the month... it can't be 3/4 or 3/8 because it is duplicate ...so the answer must be 9/1 .... does that make any sense??? |

 Well, yesterday I decided to ride my bike to Soap Lake... so I did. It was about 6.6 miles from my house to Soap Lake. Boy... I was tired after returning from Soap lake. But I feel like it is a big accomplishment. I wanted to go and see the Soap Lake Art museum but it was closed. Oh well... Just another excuse to ride over there next time. |

 Well, I just finish watching Turn A Gundam. Dispiate the unusual gundam mech design, it was a very good series and a very good story line. I feel the ending was a little bit rushed... but the epilogue was a good way to close everything up. It is, however, seeing Sochie all alone in the end ...it is pretty sad. Lately ... i just don't like seeing anything dealing with relationships and love and stuff... it is just tough. Just tough all over.... I think I might turn in early tonight... getting a bit tired. Good night! |

 Hello everyone... Well... It is another sunday... and tomorrow is another Monday... oh I don't like Monday's. Anyway... This weekend has been intersting... I watched alot of Tripping the Rift. It is a scifi comedy cartoon on Scifi Channel. It is actually a TVMA toon ... so little kiddies .. don't watch. the series is really good and very funny. I would recommend it. Especially if you are a nerdy single guy like me. So what else did I do? Try to repair my bike .. actually putting on a toe clip.. but no pedal wrench.. so failed to do that... went wakeboarding again... now my back hurts... ouch... but the pictures are up. take a look on my site. I still need to figure a way to organize my photos. Right now it is ok.. but when the pictures builds up... HELP!... Any recommendations would be appreciated. |

well.. I've added some more stuff to the new site... it is slowly returning to where I was and more. It is actually alot simpler then before... why? because the design is alot simpler... just clean and light. I guess that is what I am looking for in my mind. Work has been a little be stressful lately... I feel like I am not the happy self I use to be. I snap at people alot more. I need to stop that... and just concentrate on work. the bike ride today was pretty good.... I need to do that everyone.. I need to lose weight. |
