try your best to replace the heart with the new one.

and i did it!!

it's pretty weird how many people in our sexuality class were screaming when pictures of childbirth were shown.

like really!?
people, you have to realize that's how you came into the world.
and for those who answered "looking forward on having a baby" (which was like more than 60% of the class) on the clicker question "are you planning on having a baby?" during the lecture... like really? you felt disgusted by the process you will be going through in the future?
like wtf?
just get over it.

sorry i just feel like ranting.
i answered "definitely not" on "are you planning on having a baby" and the pictures were completely normal to me.
i don't think you're ready to be parents, people. just no.
i'm sorry but you have to learn more about the world and be more mature before having a baby.
you have to know that having a baby is a really big decision.
most importantly, you're bringing a new soul into the world.
you have the responsibility to make the soul healthy and happy before it has the ability to be independent.
it's a great responsibility and i just feel you are not ready yet.

i'm pretty disappointed by this. faith in humanity -1.

more photos of fog!

i'm in love with making stereograms! they're so cool and fun!

working late at night in lab.

so we have to take pictures of our experiment over at least 10 hours.
i'm staying in lab and doing homework while taking photos once every 30 minutes.
i will be heading back when i feel like going back :P

one of my favorite quotes I just found.

a few drawings of my social awkwardness. saw my previous roommate.

Good video Tuesday

omg the breath!



"which might explain why it hasn't invented anything." LOL


Adam Buxton is awesome.

he did the counting song too. i like his style of humor. darkish kind of.

new photos

panic attack-ish last night.

i woke up in the middle of the night and felt overwhelmed by all the stresses

i felt like i wasn't able to do all the stuff on time and most importantly, i felt like i couldn't fall asleep.

i felt terrified.

but i felt asleep again eventually.

here are a few more photos.

more to come!

feeling better now

have lots of sleep lately.
um so it's monday and i'm debating whether to go to the gym.
i still a lot of works to do and i also think my body might not be in a good state for exercising so probably not today. :/
i'll go on Wednesday.
i'll be posting new pictures later tonight.

Fuck... almost fainted.

Just a few moments ago my intestines were feeling crampy.
But I decided to ignore it.
And then all of a sudden it just intensified.
So I quickly took the medication but it was too late so I ran to the bathroom.
My intestines cramped so painfully, my vision became blurry and my ears started to ring and my skin felt super warm. I knew I was going to faint so I quickly lay on the floor and unbuttoned my pants.
Fortunately I remained my consciousness. So I figured that I did not want my roommate to see me like this in the bathroom so I crawled to one of the stall and sat on the toilet and put my head below my heart level.
Intestine still cramping :( but at least it's getting better now.

Best dream ever

Omg I just had the best dream ever.
It was a really happy dream even though the ending was kind of disappointing because I woke up a bit too early.
In that dream I didn't feel alone. I felt loved!

After the waking up I tried to fall asleep again hoping that I could continue with the dream. But I ended up having a different dream, a kind of weird and hilarious dream. It was surrealistic.

wtf. i just wasted all day.

i was planning on grocery shopping and doing laundry and studying today.
but i ended up doing none.
i just feel like doing nothing so i watched some let's play videos on youtube.
it's fun to watch but i wasted my time.

so unmotivated and depressed now
i don't even feel like making dinner.

i literally feel like not doing anything. but have so many works due and a midterm to take next week.
what am i supposed to do?

-------------------------------
ok i really have to do something to get everything rolling.
after i have my dinner,
i decided to go grocery shopping even though it's almost 11 pm now but i really have to start off with something easy and fun.
then i'll probably do laundry and then start studying and hopefully my depression will go away.
i'll let you know how things go.
Fight off the depression! you must do it or else you'll be screwed.

---------------------------------
just came home from grocery shopping. there're a lot of people out there.
like TONS of people. i think they're all going to party since it's like saturday night at 11 pm.
i really have to turn 21 already. 39 days left!!!
even though i'm still feeling depressed,
I think i'm getting back on track?
i just feel like nothing is going to work out still.
let me try if i can concentrate on studying.
also i feel like there're a lot of people out there asking for a cigarette.
i've been asked at least three times for a cigarette.
and i'm pretty ok about it so i just give them one and asked them, "lighter?"
yeh...
ok i'll update you later.

---------------------------------
updated a few of my websites.
and started to work on my homework. emailed my lab partners about stuff.
feeling a lot better now. i just have to keep myself busy whenever i feel down i guess.
keep it rolling! but it's 2 am now....

Foggy night photos

more to come. stay tuned.

friday

i'm finally done with my scholarship application essay.

Friday was ok.

they look great. i made a few 3D ones in the form of wigglegram.
will be uploading the stereograms and other photo to Flickr soon.
so here they are.
enjoy.

i put the smaller ones because i don't want people to steal my photos.

i'm dying just thinking about it!!! deadmau5!!!!!! ahhhhh!!!

thursday

a lot of walking around. busy long day but productive overall.
went to yet another study thing they explicitly asked us not to talk about it so i won't talk about it here.
the study is really interesting though related to me in many ways personally.

i really like my PSYCH 210. exploring stuff i've never really think about. like today we talked about the reason why the US has the highest sexually transmitted infections prevalence among all the industrialized Western countries. it's all about social and psychology.
she compared the how the US is different from Denmark. they people in Denmark is much more open toward sexuality.
I guess my view on sexuality is more Danish. i don't think sex is a bad thing at all, it's a totally natural behavior after all humans are sexual animals, so one should not be ashamed of talking about sex. it's just that i wouldn't really know what to say if i'm in a conversation about sex because i have no experience at all. well, i could possibly talk about the stuff i read in books or online or the things i learned in this class? so nerdy...
also the professor explicitly stated that she did not show porn in class. so i would like to take back the post i wrote two weeks ago.
i guess it's how you define porn really. it's better to define porn as a medium with sexually explicit content that is intended to arouse the audience. the video she showed is educational so it's not porn.

going to photo club meeting later.
have to finish my scholarship essay tonight!!! yes, Daniel, TONIGHT. i've been working on it for almost a week now. well, at least i have the outline already and am in the progress of putting in the details and filling up the gaps.

psychological study thing

so like i went to this test and like if i ended up with more than 1500 points at the end of the test they'd give me cash!
but i end up with 1400!!! so close!!!!
D: why!?
i guess i'm not that good at predicting weather.

oh well. gonna be another productive day hopefully.

Good videos Tuesday

almost forgot to post good videos.
i'll doing this every Tuesday from now on!


this is a parody of the video below. super funny.



it's really clear what they're referring to.


"except they ran out of clay before they got to the important parts... like the parts that help you move"
"agressive floating... behavior"

so sometimes i still get nauseous

here's what i found. from this site.

"If you do not have diabetes, but you develop symptoms of hypoglycemia, try eating more regularly. Your symptoms may be triggered by becoming more physically active, which means you need to eat so your body has fuel to function, according to the Oregon State University Student Health Services."

maybe i just wasn't eating enough...

also there's this thing called.

"Gastroparesis is a condition where your vagus nerve stops functioning correctly. As this happens, your stomach isn’t signaled to empty its contents into your small intestine, leading to a constantly full feeling, nausea, belching and possible vomiting. When you do feel hunger, you can only eat a few bites before beginning to feel sick again.Your doctor can diagnose this condition, if this is what is causing your hunger/nausea feeling. One test is called a “gastric emptying scan,” requiring you to eat a small meal. Medical x-ray technicians take x-rays as your food moves through your digestive system. If, after a set amount of time, the x-rays still show a significant amount of food in your stomach, your doctor diagnoses gastroparesis. Milder cases can be treated with medications that stimulate your stomach to contract and move its contents to your small intestine, according to MedHelp.Eat foods low in fiber and fats. Increase your intake of simple carbohydrates and eat smaller, frequent meals. Instead of eating three large meals, break these up into six smaller meals."

Sunday and Monday

Sunday was productive.
Went to yet another psychological research study thing. I was just sitting in front of a computer screen with my chin resting on a chin rest and pressing keyboard keys according to the numbers appeared on the screen.
After that I just went home and study. I finished all school works I am supposed to do except scholarship application.
Imma work on that today and I have to "deliver" by the end of the day.
Going to the gym later. It's closing at 6:30 pm so yeh.

Saturday/Sunday

my Saturday was productive.

woke up took a shower had brunch

then went to a psychology extra credit research study thing. I don't want to emphasize on the extra credit, I think it's more about helping the improvement of science as a whole.
it's pretty fun. like they put a thermal generator thing on my feet to induce heat pain and they want to see how distraction can reduce the pain so I got to play this super cute virtual reality game. Like I threw snowballs at penguins haha didn't really want to do that because penguins are my good friends.

anyway, went for a hair cut and went grocery shopping after that.

came back and finished homework for BIOEN 335 and 336.

then went to my research lab to make materials for my experiment.
and now I'm finally back home and it's 4 am :P
Love working in lab late at night. it's like there's no one and you get to cross the street whenever and wherever you want (bad advice but the freedom feels so great).

Phazing

it's been almost 3 years and still loving this song!
"We are not going home. We're phazing a million miles away."

Friday

went to the research study thing i was talking about.
it was fun. like i got to answer questions like when did you start speaking English and when did you start speaking Chinese blah blah blah and then I also got to yell out colors of words and name of pictures on the screen into a microphone. it's a psychological study btw.
then went to the gym. my friend went with me this time and took me to another part of IMA. The more advanced part for weight lifting. I should start going to that area... i think. but let me get the basics done first and i'll advance.
eating stuff now. my din din looks exactly the same as the one i had two days ago.
gonna go to my lab later and get stuff done.
and also gonna start working on essays and homework and reading.... D:
omg so much stuff to do!! must be productive this weekend!!!!

Raccoon video

they're so cute!!!

thursday and friday

thursday was bad.
not productive at all. felt like throwing up during the afternoon all the way till i went to bed.
i think it might be an extensive period of empty stomach that trigger the episode. not sure though.

anyway last night i went to bed super early. at around 9 pm.
fell asleep for about an hour and then couldn't get back to sleep for at least 2 hours.
i suddenly thought of the book I worked on with a UK author during the summer.
didn't he say the book would be published latest at December?
so i decided to check on line and this was what i found.

http://amzn.com/1908150998

check the Look Inside. You'll see my photos and the section I wrote for him :D
it'll be released on the 28th. I can't wait to receive the physical copy of the book from him!!
I'm so thankful that someone values my work.

so back to last night.
and then i thought of the fog. we were having stagnant air.
so i checked the window. holy crap the fog sure was dense.
it's around 1:00 am.
i couldn't resist the beauty so I quickly dressed and grabbed my camera and some stuff and went for a walk on campus.
of course, i had to be super careful so i also had a box opener in my pocket :P
so i walked around the campus and took around 40 something shots of the beautifully veiled atmosphere including the streets and quad and more!
i also interacted with a raccoon couple. gave them a few crackers. they looked thankful.

was back to home around 2:30 am.
i was satisfied with my results but wouldn't be able to develop them until next week.
so wait for the photos. i bet you'll love them!

here's just a roughly developed one.

gonna work my ass off this weekend for my research lab stuff and homework and shit.

gonna go take a shower now.
i have a research study to attend later. gonna do some math and logic tests to see if bilingual people are smarter than monolingual.
cya.

down it goes...

not feeling well now... sleepy... feel like i'm catching a cold.
might take a nap later :(

here's a video i would like to share.

So Where's Home? A Film About Third Culture Kid Identity from Adrian Bautista on Vimeo.

wednesday

another productive day. i'm happy about it.
went grocery shopping then walked to the very southern part of campus.
(i signed up for several psychology extra credit research thing and two of them are at unfamiliar locations so i want to scout the path first)
then went to my research lab
then went to my BIOEN 337 lab
then went to IMA
saw people practicing Gangnam style haha they're so cute. i was like watching and smiling at them through the door and some of them noticed me and smiled back at me :D
i'm back home now. gonna eat some stuff, study a bit and go to bed.
tomorrow will be another long day.

my din din.

if one were to survive on Xplosive-pizza flavored Goldfish

I was doing my homework and reading and noming on goldfish and then suddenly i had this thought.

if one were to survive only with Goldfish, how many Goldfishes would that person have to eat?

on average a person need about 2000 calories daily.
and according to the nutrition facts on the bag, each goldfish is about 2.7 calories.
so a person has to eat about 730 goldfishes daily.
that is equivalent to about 2.4 bags of Goldfish.
we'll round it off to 3 bags because you can't just buy 0.4 bags from a store.
3 bags contain about 918 Goldfishes.
so a person has to eat one Goldfish every 1 min and 34 seconds throughout the day.
accounting sleep time, let's say, on average people sleep for 8 hours daily.
that means a person has to nom one Goldfish every 1 min and 2 seconds to finish 3 bags of goldfishes acquiring about 2520 calories in one day.


anyway, I've been pretty busy and fortunately productive lately.
living up my resolution of working out in the gym.
my plan is to work out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
went to the gym yesterday and it was packed! i guess everyone is working on their resolutions too.
and i'm also applying for a scholarship. the deadline is early February, so i have to start the essay asap.

good videos Tuesday

first video is brought to you by HowToBasic


Then the following two videos are brought to you by Onion



Then the last one is from Bad Lip Reading

"I want it now!! I want cake now!!!"

omg just found Baman and Piderman. cutest and most random and funniest show ever!!

their latest episode is #21 not sure if they'll keep making it or not though... :/
i hope they will because it's awesome!!

go check out the creators' YouTube channel as well because they make super cute animations!

Friday

so the only class I had today was an educational porn watching.
everyone was like laughing and shit.
210 was awesome.

anyway, I still have 55 days till I'm 21.
by that time, i would be in a bar during this time of the week.

this is gold. happens to me every night.

today was a good day

so today was more like my first day of class.
took my first BIOEN 335,  BIOEN 336 and PSYCH 210
BIOEN 335 was alright. sounds pretty interesting. BIOEN 336 was interesting and fun.
i told my mom that I could build a house after taking BIOEN 326 and I could build a refrigerator after taking BIOEN 325.
so I think I would be able to make drinks after taking BIOEN 335 and model everything with computer after taking BIOEN 336.
PSYCH 210 was super interesting. I love the polls with clickers. Like Asian students typically have a more repressed view on sex while European descendants are more open. Freaking real live data!!

oh and didn't screw up my conversations with anybody. :D
the conversations actually went pretty well.
helped my friend called the Hall Health this morning (hope she gets better)
i met my previous roommate and he was also taking the human sexuality class

I'm happy! I'm gonna start reading stuff and be productive!!

oh oh and I think I found this out too late.
Ultra is holding a music festival during March.
and deadmau5 is going to be there!!!!!!!!!!!
and some many other great artists too!!! OMG i want to go! but my last final is on Mar 22 and the festival starts on the exact same day D:

new Sander van Doorn track

Joyenergizer. it's released just today!! it sounds so gooood!

first day of school was ok.

i don't have classes on Mondays so that's awesome.
but i'm at my research lab all day.
doing some paper searching.

anyway, i am feeling so bad right now because i couldn't interact with people.
like i just couldn't.
why do my conversations always end so awkwardly!?
like i always run out of stuff to say and I just end the conversations with "yehhhh...."
well not really like run out of stuff to say but more like couldn't think of stuff to say in front of people.
my brain just shuts down in front of people if they talk to me.

i don't want to loose my friends!!

loving this song. the bass is incredible.

Mood analysis over 6 weeks

so remember I was writing down my mood everyday since sometime last quarter?
I input all the data into Excel and did some analysis.

here's the result...
tips to reading the charts:
the darker the color the worse the mood, the brighter the color the better the mood (intuitively)
for weather, R stands for rainy, C stands for cloudy, S stands for sunny, CS stands for partially cloudy, CSR stands for partially cloudy with showers.

I live in Seattle, as a result I have lots of data for rainy and cloudy days but only a few for sunny days.

so I don't think my mood has much to do with the weather but instead it is strongly related to the day of the week.
I seem to be most happy during Saturdays and sad during Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
pretty interesting.
also it seems like I'm quite bipolar when recording my mood of the day. Most of them are either sad or happy but only a few are the intermediate ones.
so why am I doing this?
I don't know actually (and it's pretty fun)
but a better understand of myself might give me the ability to hack my brain sometime during winter quarter to boost my productivity ;)

illness

i'm still recovering from cold
and people around me have been sick lately as well.
dunno what's happening.
some are having fever
some are throwing up
take care people!

still recovering from cold

i've noticed a pattern.
whenever I exhaust myself with extreme activities like partying and working out my cold seemed to get worse or remain the same instead of getting better.
Like few days ago, my cold actually got worse.
but after taking a few days off from the gym, i'm feeling a whole lot better now.
i think i won't hit the gym until school start which is like the day after tomorrow, my body still need some time.
so this is what i'm feeling now

:( oh well i'll go grocery shopping today though.

roommates are coming back.

Resolution 2013 GIFs

W&W working on it!

Resolution 2013 video is out.

i figured i should do something

at least i'm being minimally productive.

oh man.

my cold has gotten a lot worse.
now my throat is super sore
legs are still sore
and last night i felt like throwing up.

didn't go to the gym today
i guess my body really need some rest.
so i got nothing to do today.

but hopefully i will hit the gym tomorrow.

first day of 2013 went pretty well

had my photos developed

went grocery shopping (it seems like i do a lot of grocery shopping...)

took out trash

did laundry

and some other chores

gonna start working out in gym tomorrow also going to lab a bit.

and my legs and neck are super sore now haha :D danced too much last night!

photos and video of the party are coming up sometime this week

my cold and stomach has gotten a lot better but still doesn't feel like the normal healthy body.

hopefully i'll be alright tomorrow for working out.

good night.

What just happened is unacceptable.

I opened my eyes to this beautiful sunny New Year's Day with ear numbing fire alarm.
I just want to sleep. Sweet potato!!!

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

So I went outside. And there were few resident out there and the police and the fire department people. They said there was something wrong with the pipe in the basement that's all.
So I'm going back to sleep now bye.

it's a blast!! had so much fun!!

Resolution 2013 was so awesome!
I danced so much.
and had golden glitter all over me.
but yeh my stomach was kind of acting up but I somehow overcame it by just having fun.
saw W&W and Rusko. W&W were awesome!!! I listen to their weekly podcasts too.

my friend and I went to China town for our first breakfast of 2013.
and got a fortune cookie saying, "Enjoy your own company. If you don't, who will?"
looks like I'll probably be single for another year.
haha but i'm going to be 21 on March so screw that.
but still, I think it's good to enjoy one's company. and i actually like it so....

anyway, gonna take a shower and go to bed. totally exhausted.

oh and wearing shorts in below freezing point isn't fun but it's not like i'm doing it everyday :P
