Another Boring Day of Nothing to Talk About

You’re wearing sneakers. Sensible shoes. I’ve never saw you wear sensible shoes.

Are you on the way to the gym? Or are you running to and from the metro and back?

Perhaps not, but those sensible sneakers just don’t suit you.

But I like.

Umm… girls?

K-ON!! Ep 10 - Teacher

Oh, Sawa-chan-sensei, I doubt that you could convince those girls into studying with that sweet temper of yours. Perhaps, you ned to bust out the devil eyes. Yes, devil eyes.

It goes to show you cool the Panasonic Lumix LX3 and its successors LX5, GF1 has been. It’s body mimicking a classic Leica body has brought many a photographer over. Now it seems its got some competition. Let’s see how well the Fuji camera does. I can’t wait to hear the reviews.

Hawaii Vacation 2010: Golf!

Hawaii 2010/Waikoloa Golf/Hit it there!

So you’ve seen me old school that golf on Kiawah Island. Now fast forward 15 years and see that I can still play. Of course my stupid scoring is still at the same place as it was back in the day. Except I can hit a driver now, but my short game is gone to pot. My iron play was also terrible no idea why.

When we were in Hawaii, we played golf a couple of days. This is the first day of the vacation and we had a fivesome going but we still played in under 4 hours. Thanks god as I hate how long a round takes.

Weird facebook thoughts about about not going public and just playing with their own money. No idea if this is the right thing to do. It’s the ruthless thing to do: make money hand over fist outside of the scrutiny the regulators. It’s with Goldman Sachs who themselves don’t have too much of a good thing.

I don’t know where this is going. Just read the link. I just need a link to keep the streak alive. Seven days baby!

Kiawah Island

First Hole Kiawah Island Ocean Course

Bashing the golf ball has been fun. Maybe it would’ve been super fun back in the day if I didn’t have to deal with lame equipment. Perhaps it time for an upgrade.

Love this photo from back in the day when I use to go on golfing vacations with my dad, brother and titos. It’s the first hole on the most difficult course I’ve played, Kiawah Island Ocean Course. The layout was tough enough with tiny, raised greens to shoot at. The wind blowing off the ocean just contributed to the difficulty. The fairways were wide and generous only because with the wind keeping it on the fairway was tough. Off the fairways, your stuck in sand. It’s bunker shots all the time.

This shot is from the first hole. Nice and easy here. I think I bogeyed. We got three holes in, before the wind came up. It was a nasty day. My brother gave up and hated it, but it was a fun, fun day. We’ll be back someday.

Did I do that?

Joining Derek Lee, Mark Reynolds, and JJ Hardy in Camden Yards this upcoming baseball season is BrowserMetrics, your humble narrator. I'm just as excited for the upcoming season as the other guys. I just made the commitment by re-upping my season tickets. I'm almost in the same spot, but now 2 rows closer.Whaa?! I thought I wanted to be further back in order to catch more foul balls. But then they told me that I could sit two rows closer and all those plans went out the window. Maybe, sitting closer to the ball person will help me increase my chances of receiving a loose ball here and there. Or maybe Nick Markakis can throw one my way. Now how does this change my predicament of needing someone to come with? And how about when it is three or four people? Darn, I'm wondering if I can keep up as well…Any takers on games?

I don't actually cook but to put coconut milk into adobo can't be right. As the article states, there are a million and a half different recipes for adobo, the Philippine's national dish. One for each island in the archipelago and two for each person living there. Even I, who doesn't cook, probably have a version of adobo that I would make: less sauce, beef, like my mom makes.What's your recipe?http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/magazine/09Food-t-000.html

Notice

One thing about being a nerd is that you become obsessive on things. Imagine if you were a nerd who loved, loved, loved the anime K-ON!!, then you would absolutely try to learn everything about the show. You’ll find out about the main characters. How tall is Mio? What’s Ritsu’s blood type? Where is Tsumugi from? Is Yui an orphan? Afterwards, you’ll begin to delve into the more esoteric things of the show like the background characters (NSFW). Yup. You’ll research who they are and what makes them tick. Just imagine how nerdy you have to be to do that.

Class 3-2 K-ON!

That’s pretty obsessive. And so kawaii!
