last day of 2012

went to lab and sent out a package but unfortunately I dropped it off at the wrong place :(

gonna prepare for the party now :D

so excited!!

 

on my way back home from my lab

my outfit for Resolution 2013! :D

2013 new year's resolutions

2013 new year's resolutions (I think I might add more stuff... or not)

1. get more experience in research and also apply for scholarships
2. keep working out!! should gain at least 2-3 kg of weight by the end of 2013.
3. go to more parties (this should be an easy one since I'll be 21 by March 2013; I seriously can't wait)
4. keep the creativity; don't stop taking photos.


2012 Last year's resolutions:
✓   1. must recover from acid reflux and duodenitis
comment: I guess I have gotten a lot better, but sometimes it just relapses with a trigger.

✓   2. start working out again (build muscles!! gain weight.)
comment: oh yes, I worked out a lot especially during the summer, 2 hours almost everyday and I'm actually pretty happy about it. but i can still do better.

✓   3. get into a research lab
comment: yes I did and I'll be starting my independent research when the quarter starts.

X   4. spend more time with friends!
comments: lol, I actually don't have many friends. I think it's better to spend more time with my best friend than just hanging out with people you know you're not going to spend time with in the future.
You know who you are! I'm glad you're still here with me :)

better get myself in a positive mood.

cuz i want to end 2012 happily.

I still got time to work out. it's fine to miss one or two days so clam the fuck down Daniel.
and plus i just ordered DAA online. Some studies have proven the effectiveness of DAA to increase level of testosterone.
this will definitely help me to look more mature! plus more muscle growth!

Ok I give up for now. My body is crap.

Going home now.

My body better be ready for the party tomorrow. And my body better be ready for my next visit to gym.

This is just awful. I can't even eat stuff now that means my calories intake will be a lot less than the one I should be consuming.

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I just feel like giving up forever. It's not going to work anyway.
Whenever I am free, I get sick.
Whenever I'm feeling great, I have works to do.
Look at me. A useless skinny shit.

Feel like throwing up... :(

At the gym now but feel like throwing up... I want to work out but my body refuses to.
:(((

New Year's Eve party tomorrow... Please feel better by then. Or else I wouldn't be able to enjoy the party.

Super desperate now.
My mind just want to give up on working out right now. There's this negative voice in me telling me,
"Jeez Daniel, just give up. Look at you. You're still so skinny even though you've been trying so hard."
It sounds very convincing to me right now.
Should I go home now? Or should I push myself and work out?

Wigglegram!

went to grocery shopping but no time for work out :(

so i decided to take a few more photos today after my grocery shopping

walked around empty campus.

made more 3D stuff. it's so much fun!!

and here are the wigglegrams!

saturday

still feel a bit ill. sore throat.
other than that i'm fine

and talked to my parents the whole night yesterday...
it was an awesome talk but i went to bed at like 6 something am
now i just woke up at 16:30 pm and it's dark out there already...

well i think i can still go for an cardio in the gym and um maybe go grocery shopping a bit.
yeh...

Friday

now I should be in a club or a bar having a great time. oh well, being under 21 sucks.

anyway, went to the gym and went to the lab today.
got something done.
and yeh... that's it.
i can't wait for the party in new years eve!!! it's gonna be so much fun!! I miss the loud and pumping music so much!
Resolution 2013 <3 p="p">

Thursday

even though i know the breads would not do any good to me beside their calories and the peanut butter on it is a good source for protein, I have three of them last night.
and I had a pretty bad gas problem last night ended up taking pepto bismol and fortunately the gas problem resolved rather quickly.
but today i woke up with sore throat, might be related to the breads. not sure...
i might be gluten intolerance?

and just had a meeting with our bioengineering advisor.
it went well.
wondering if i'm the only one who has met up with the advisor though...

ummm yeh my textbooks i ordered online are all here now
also i got a $5 discount for vinyl record on amazon so i decided to get a Daft Punk record!
and it's here now. i'm listening to it right now!! so awesome!!!

my PI just emailed my back. gotta go now.

hallway obsession

if you look hard enough, you'll see it in 3D.

yay i went out and took some photos

here's the first one!
merry belated christmas guys.


there's literally no one on campus right now :D i feel so free!

Christmas Eve

So yeh my roommate invited me to have a dinner with his homestay.
It was great. They're super nice.
Went to a church and sang some Christmas songs and had dinner at outback.
It's actually my most American Christmas ever.
Thank you so much!!

But I kind of want to stay alone as well. Like the pessimistic side of me. I want to complain about how alone I am and how I have to spend my Christmas all by myself and blah blah blah.

But I guess what I actually did tonight was actually a lot healthier to myself.

it's been a while since i updated my flickr

i'm totally not crazy.

ok maybe i'm a bit crazy.

went work out.
had a dinner with a friend in Thai 65
and did my laundry.
came back
and one of my current roommates invited me to have dinner at his home-stay's place. (all of my roommate went back home except him)
i said no first cuz i think it would be extremely awkward since i don't know my roommate much neither i know his home stay. i  gave him an excuse that i have to work in my lab and blah. but he convinced me eventually. he said his home stay is super nice. oh well, i'll just wait and see how that goes.

ok here comes the i'm crazy part.
cuz i was laughing alone in the kitchen after my surprised discovery of "what have science done?"
so i was preparing another snack for protein + calories boosting
so i was washing an apple
and i stared at it...
"its look reminds me of a peach... weird," i thought.
and then a closer inspection...
"hmmm.... even the patterns and texture feels like peach..."
so i cut it up
"ok this definitely smells like peach... what?"
but i saw apple seeds and all that.
so i took a bite.
"it definitely tastes like peach!!"
then i started laughing.
not sure if i'm overreacting to an apple or what.
but i don't know. a cross between apple and peach sounds like a good idea.
i'm not even sure if that exists.

and yes, that's peanut butter for protein.

currently addicted to this video

cyriak makes great videos.

look at this! turntable + records

so this one works. the speed adjustment is working fine. the previous one i got were all stuck at the same speed.

so much fun. retro feeling. haha anyway i love how i can actually touch the tracks.

Saturday

Productive Saturday.
Went to check whether book store buys back my two textbooks that I bought online for $5 and $15
Unfortunately they don't.

Then went for an haircut. Was originally planning on going to Ten Pachi saw some good online review but unfortunately they were only taking reservation at that time. So I went back to my favorite salon and got my hair cut.

And went to grocery shopping
Picked up my package at terry front desk.
And test the turntable out. It's working great!! :D
Imma tell you more about it later.

I'm in the gym right now. The gym is super empty.

Thursday

Woke up at 1 pm took a shower and then headed to foege to get my stuff as then took the shuttle to SLU lab did some autoclaving and headed back to UW.
Then went to the gym worked out and then got back home.
Ate JJ sandwich from yesterday and grabbed the return package and took the bus to U Village.
Dropped the huge box in UPS store and walked around U village a bit. Got into a camera store and decided to buy a reflector/diffuser for my camera flash. It's necessary for good portrait photos.
Waiting for bus now.
Gonna go to Safeway after I am back home.

and have to wait 3 more days for the new one to come... it better be working...

grades are out

4.0 for BIOEN 326
3.7 for BIOEN  325
3.9 for BIOEN  327
and 3.6 for CHID 222 (as expected since i'm really bad at history and language kind of courses)

so add them together and divide by 4 gives me 3.8
:D hard work pays off!!

;D

winter break

so far so good.
have been going to gym and stuff. feeling awesome.
and still trying to work out a daily routine though cuz gym closes at 6:30 pm which is super early.

and yeh not much to say since not much is happening.
oh the forecast says it might snow Tuesday which is today. looking forward to seeing some snow! :D

and i'm planning on taking some photos too sometime this weekend (or of the snow if it did end up snowing) i'm having some thoughts for the hopefully creative photos.

and i bought some stuff online recently all for myself haha sort of Christmas gifts to myself :P

that's probably it.

i went to see Life of Pi with Frances on Saturday.
it was awesome. love the part where the island is visualized!

and this is a view in downtown.

not a big fan of christmas lights though maybe, not until one day when i really get romantic.

Why 2012 was the best year ever Never in the history of the world has there been less hunger, less disease and more prosperity

keep it up humanity!

busy friday

so i woke up sometime around 12 or 1... i forgot and then went to lab and start fabricating stuff the whole afternoon and evening.
then had a small dinner and then went to the gym at around 7/8 pm. met Tiffany there!
now i'm back home. interneting.

being under 21 while on break/Friday/Saturday night isn't fun.
totally going to hit the bar/club if i were 21 now.

Imma start working out!! :D

Hitting the gym later.
But so cold outside...

A little tired now.

Had a great day.
Though still interneted too much.
Went grocery shopping.
and had Udon and went shopping in UO. They're having a flash sale!! I'm so lucky!!
Bought some awesome accessories! the scarf i previously owned smells. i've washed it several times but it still smells...

And cleaned my shoes when I was back.

they look like new shoes!!

so yeh gonna go to bed now.
tired.
didn't get enough sleep yesterday.

i'm done!!!

just finished my 325 final.
it was horrible and everyone had the same reaction after the final.
oh well.
i'm gonna start enjoying my break now!

Man my brain is hyperactive again...

It's been 2 hours since I went to bed and still trying to fall asleep.

I don't feel panic or excited.
But I think subconsciously my brain is feeling either or both of them.

Scumbag brain.

"Clarity" is such a beautiful song!!

they did a wonderful job!!

my brain last night

anyway, i just finished my 326 final.

it went okay.

didn't really get stuck on any of the questions...

imma turn in my research paper later. 

and yeh start reviewing 325. i high suspect it to be tons harder than 326.

i'm finally done with my research paper

i just have to revise it tomorrow after my 326 final.

it's not a perfect paper though. i kind of BS through some part of it.
but yeh... i don't want to make it better anymore... really tired of it already.

and didn't really study for my 326 final... well i did the practice exam thing but i didn't really go back and ready through my notes and stuff, but i think i'll do fine on it.
and even if i fail the final miserably, i will still get an good grade cuz i'm like the top of the class right now
so excuse me while i don't try so hard.

Getting tired of the research paper...

It's taking too much time!!! Seriously! I've been working on it since the start of the week!!
I was done with the searching and reading part. And now I'm just in the putting them all together part.
I'm writing the 5th page now. i guess I'm almost there. (It need to be 8 pages but no more than that)

Last day of classes

Finally the day has come.
Well... Technically I'm not quite there yet. Still have a research paper due next Tuesday. One final on Monday. And another on Wednesday.

Felt relieved and sad at the same time.
I've always got this sad feeling when something I really enjoy or something I work really hard on ends.
Never again will I sit in the classroom and discuss biofuture with my classmate...
I guess time just keeps on going.
(You don't say, but seriously we forget the passage of time most of our time busy working and studying)

physically exhausted... i guess after 11 weeks of torture, my body is falling apart.
today was not an exception.
was in my 327 lab from morning till 3 in the afternoon ;(
(i had my final, so that means i won't have a 327 final next week)
had my lunch at 4ish and went to my research lab till 6 pm
i'm back home now.
still have works to do.

omg this is sooooo true!!

and and and, one week of class till final and i'll be done!!! :D

when i woke up this morning i felt like throwing up...
man... i thought i'm done with it already.

doing my research paper for CHID now

researching on immortality.
i've always been super interested in this subject.
hope i can find super cool stuff out of this.
and i'll become an immortal expert after i've done this paper.

let's all live forever!!

Just watched Tiesto, Calvin Harris, Avicii, Tommy Trash, Laidback Luke, and Martin Solveig performing in Australia online!!

Gotta love them all!!
