#45. California

Maybe you don't care because you are not from California. But really, stop thinking about guys or girls for a minutes. Go visit http://www.calhighspeedrail.org

So, I saw a Penn undergrad chick at the store last night. She was wearing almost nothing. Pink little short shorts, i mean so short that made me look at her intensively. I was just trying to figure out "what the hell is going on". Why even bother to wear anything, that was my reaction. Maybe she is not a student here. Maybe she goes to Drexel University.

On Monday: I was working out at the gym (Pottuck 2nd floor). This dude... maybe a random military joker, was using the 100 lbs dumbbells for chest. Homie screamed like there was a dirty rotten Iowa corn in his ass, then dropped the dumbbells on the floor. No respect. I have serious issues with those who drop dumbbells. The next day, i was using those for a shoulder exercise, i have noticed that one of the dumbbells got bended. What a little short bitch (he was a short dude, shorter than me). No need to say much at this point. Soldiers? Bush brainwashed you guys.

Penn's gym is not as bad as the ARC at UCD. The Arc was a meat market. White meat, yellow meat, black meat, brown meat, milky meat, you name it. Girls wear make ups to the gym. Hello? You are not shooting porns, you don't need to have make up on your face. What? Waterproof? The liquid on your face is called sweat or perspiration.

#44. Ridiculous

So I check Macrumors.com daily, but i am not sure about those so called "administrators".  They think they can delete people's post just because I wasn't using a pretty word, i.e.. "ridiculous".  How lame is that?  It's like George W. Bush style.  I can talk mad shit about those jokers here on my blog.  But... waste my time.   

#43. Next Items

Dec - 2009 Audi A4 Avant 2.0T.
When? - next Mac Pro 8-core with FX5600 or higher.

iPhone - NO!

I am a strange individual because i would pack my car on the side of the street watch you pack your car, then hit the gas and leave. What is strange anyway? You think Hybird save you money, no... you have to pay more to get one.

#42. Facebook Status

I just want to let a / one (from undergrad) UC Davis facebook friend know: sometime... people don't give a fuck about what you are going to do this weekend. Perhaps you shouldn't update your facebook status more than once a day; no one cares. I mean come on dude, I don't want to delete you but you are just a childish Asian man. Always play with those freaking plastic flying toys like a 5th grader.

(next time if you want to talk shit about your friend(s). like me... make a blog. I am a dick sometimes, I know)

#41. Trancing in CA

Nice to be back in California. Life is chill here. Listen some trance and relax. Enjoy the night without thinking anything. There are too many good trance. Techno and house are nice as well. Don't forget... ambient music.

I am giving an hour long presentation on Thursday 26th @ 1:00PM. UC Davis Design Department. Room: TB109. Portfolio, PennDesign and Ordos 100.

#38. Chinese Propaganda Poster

Don't you like the graphic? Google search for Chinese propaganda poster, you will find more cool stuff. By the way, Philly is super hot over 100 and humid, those Ivy League bitches are going out almost naked.



You know what they (Ivy Chicks) are going to do? Here:

#37. Trance Again

This is on Tiesto podcast #33 too.

#36. Trance

I know many of you ain't into trance or techno. I mean come on... please don't tell me you are like Britney Spare and that Justin fucking Timberlake. Top 40 and the soon to be 72 year old turkey neck aka John McCain are the same kinda deal, lame! I am sorry... top 40 lovers.

Tiesto remix • Ercola - Every Word, here you go:

#35. Random

I almost forgot about my blog. I am chilling in a group study room at the Wharton School. What a nice facility. A rich place, freaking business kid. Here, an interior view:



So, many Penn kids are moving out (maybe most of them at undergrads, yeah... those rich undergrad kid!!!); I cannot believe how many stuff they are throwing out. Nuts. I see a few Philly brothers driving around in big ass truck, guess what my friend??? To upload those IKEA furnitures and other home items. Those jokers are throwing away money on the street. "Hey, donate some of your money to my country. People need clothes and food. Earthquake remember?" By the way, I don't dig those donation stands in Chinatown. Scam!!!

#34. Polygamist

What the hell is wrong with these jokers?  Duh... TX, of course... Just like G.W.B-ullshit.  If you wanna read more stories - here.   By the way, this... is a different case:

FYI:
I saw people on FaceBook joining/supporting the Dali Lama. What exactly do you know about China and the Dali Lama?  Stop watching FOX News, and quit being a poser.  Human rights... yes, sure; China is always the bad one.  The U.S.?  Human rights #1? Treating people like a king and queen? Let's forget about the Slavery for 6.9 seconds.  What about killing people in the middle east?  Weapons of Mass Distortion? Found them yet? Practicing human rights globally? Before you guys joining/supporting those free Tibet bullshit, think twice...

p.s. my next post is about bitchy girl(s) at PennDesign - Architecture.

#33. Tiesto

This is a very cool remix by Tiesto, it's called: Back In Your Head.

#32. family dogs

Our dogs in China. They are from Tibet. They are babies. They can be over 200 lbs in a few years. Check it out:

#31. Help!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please go visit my post on Macrumors.

#30. Ugliness

This is ridiculous. Maybe some of you people think that i am the ridiculous one. Well, if you said so. She has more money in her purse than my bank account. She is loved by millions of unclear-minded teenagers, 1st and 2nd undergrads. Me? A few actually loves me. So, basically there is no comparison. Boo, i lost.

Do i really care? No. I don't think this chick can make it to an Ivy League school. 1/4 of me is smarter than her. Anyway, she is making a "comeback"? What a joke? A freaking comeback? Hellooo.. come back to get more money from those unclear-minded teens? What an uneducated psycho bitch!

#29. one ugly muthafucka

#28. I like this

People talk shit about my country a lot, like: the upcoming Beijing Olympic - Remember some runner dudes don't wanna run in Beijing; oh come on! What do you mean you can't run the marathon because of the air quality, i think you are being pussy. Cut that shit out! What about million's residents in Beijing? Are they going to die... like tomorrow?

How about one more: the Free Tibet thing. I walked by the protesters in San Francisco on March 11th. It was a pretty wild event. Ok, free or no free... ask yourself this: Do you think the Chinese Gov. will give up that land? Free Tibet? Hellooo? Free Tibet? Really? How about Free Cali? Bush, are you cool with that?

Well, take a break from the nonsenses and check out this chick's video blog, A Jewish American lives in Beijing @ http://www.youtube.com/user/sexybeijingTV


It doesn't matter if you are interested in China. Just click it and check it out. Specially those Sexy Beijing videos. I found them very cool/interesting. For me... mainly because i have been apart from my homeland almost 10 years. I really miss that place. I will go back for a while once i receive my freaking Master from UPenn. Well, in fact... i am going to do something with the Chinese this summer. Sorry, the man won't let me talk about it. Check out my resume in Aug or Sept.

#27. another update @

/graduate. added more info. if you don't understand that stuff; email me.

I like this phone - classmate Dale's desk (right next to mine). Nuts... but cool.



Random model making action last fall:

#26. Freedom of Speech

Don't use these words:
"a waste of technology"
"in front of a badly designed sculpture"
"waste of space"
"nonsense"
"sunday"

Otherwise, you will get this piece of crap:

#25. Graduate work update

I updated my temporary site - graduate work. I will update it again, make it pretty. Throw in your comments, emial or IM me. I am not a web pro, I am willing to learn. Thanks.

#24. Help?

Hire me! I know what I’m doing. I am not a jerk. I will listen to you and probably talk you out of three bad ideas. I will make jokes. When the bill comes, you will feel like you got a great deal.

#23. Global Warming

I just read this article on Washington Post, I would like to share it with my site viewers. I think it's important for us to at least try to do something; meanwhile, educate others.

You know, when i saw freaking Britney Spears on Google News' headline. Come on! She made the headline news because she went (escorted by LADP, the po-po) to the hospital again within a month. People really care about her? I have no/zero respect for that woman. What an unmotivated and uneducated individual!

P.S.
I went (walk in 30 degree temperature) to the Penn student health center 4 times within the last two months for 7 immunization shots; Ouch! Someone put me on Google's News please.

#22. new updates soon?

I haven't update this for a while. Nothing really new, just got older and saw DJ Tiesto at the Giant Maximus, downtown Los Angeles 12/31/07 - 01/01/2008; it was a pretty wild party.

Well, I didn't have time to build my online grad portfolio over the winter break, I hope to do it little by little. Today, Philly is super cold - 13 degrees low. By the way, i saw/read this on ESPN. Look at the temperture numbers - an indication of global warming?



Ok, this might be kinda random. TMZ.com - I wasted some 45 minutes of my life on that site, and watched some ridiculous videos of those crackwhores: Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Pairs Hilton etc etc. The word "celebrity" is just gross. We should replace it as "waste of space", and we need to teach children and teens to stop idolizing them; indeed, be yourself!

#21. me and others

This is what you should do for the next 15 - 20 mins. Check out the first year architecture / graduate student work at UPenn - me and my classmates. Go to http://www.arch.penndesign.net/

-- seek
-- by course
-- 501 design studio
-- 2007 / (5 profs./ studio and 58 studs)
-- Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss (this is my studio)

Now! a million dollar question:
whose name are you going to click first?

Thank you and enjoy.

#20. You should care!

My undergrad buddy Scott Sjulin sent me this environment document last night. It was published on Wednesday! So please do me a favor, when you are out partying and getting wasted, spend three minutes to talk to that hot dude or chick about this document. Why? Because if you don't care, then you next or next next generation will be living on a small island with a gas mask.

#19. This is how I use white glue

#18. Tell me about this

A 24-carat gold MacBook Pro, with diamond studded Apple logo? Someone has too much time and money, perhaps. It's kinda cool though, isn't it?

#17. Just Something

I think this is a good view/rendering, but I didn't use it for my presentation. I wish this and I wish that, never enough; by the way, what dose "enough" mean anyway? I don't like the outcome of my project #2; I think I was being a little conservative.

Jon sent me another article about sleeping, check it out!

#16. Record

I slept 6 1/2 hours (Sat morning 7:30am to 2:00pm). I "camped" in the studio from Sat 3:00pm to Monday 6:30pm - without any sleep, as well as Redbull or Coffee, just two 10 minutes naps. Someone do the math, please. This is my record. Basically, I was fcuking crazy, as my classmates described. Well, I had fun. It's design, how can i not? I wasn't trying to get ahead of the game; in fact, I was behind because I redesign a lot of stuff. Did things come out well? No, I am 110% happy about it. (Those guys at the front row are judges from New York City and Philly, the guys in blue w/glasses - Jason, is from Herzog & de Meuron.)




I slept 12 hours from Mon night 9:45pm to Tue 10:00am, went to the Structure and Environment System lectures; and then I had lunch at 2:30pm - went home slept another 4 hours. I get average of 3 - 5 hours of sleep before Saturday; I mean, do I even get enough sleep? My classmate/studio buddy Jon Kayton just sent me this news article. I think I should be scared, because I am on my way to be a psychiatric disorder paitent before I receive my masters degree(s).

#15. Project One

Project one final pin-up PDF is up. 7MB, kinda big. Enjoy the cards/folds. I also uploaded pictures from the project review onto Facebook. Check out my classmates work. They are nice. I am going home now. It's 3:30 am.

#14. Graduate Work

I made a new / temporary site for my graduate work at PennDesign. I wish I could post more details and images; I am too busy. It's not even a joke. I am going to try to post a PDF file on the site, maybe in 3 days?

It's 4:00AM, I am still screwing around in the studio. Yeah, watching movie and chilling like a California Burrito. Sometime, I like to picture myself as something else, such as a bottle of natural spring water or a piece of sugar free cookie? I am going home now. Yes, walk! I wish I was a girl; walking alone down Spruce Street in West Philly at 4:00AM. Where is my AK?

#13. 25/7 in the studio

I don't have much to say about life now. It's good the fact that I have two homes. Meyerson Hall and my West Philly apartment on 41st/Spruce. So... I went to the gym again, the second time within 13 days. Oh, it was a special one, because I forgot my running shoes in the studio. In that case, it was all about the West Side - gangster style my friend! I got it done with my sandals. I am going to cut this one short because I need to get some sleep before the first big deadline. I miss the fresh California fruit. Here are two pics from the studio.

#12. Three more years?

Life is so good now. BBQ everyday, good food (fresh fruit from California), chill at home watch movie, go to the beach (east coast style), seafood, drive fancy car, rolling around with bling bling, get massage whenever I want. Dude, poker everyday!!!



Yes, we (Master of Architecture Students) can only dream about shit. Oh yeah, playing cards! Poker! "Yo, I have 4 As'; what do you have?" "I have 10 freaking decks". (by the way, it's 3:20am. I am still in the studio... yeah, playing poker!)

#11. My Last Day in California

I have not finished packing. I am not ready to leave. I am still surfing the net and chilling at home like nothing is going to happen the next day. Yeah, Ding Daddy is chilling and playing with the false advertised Apple Ultra Thin Keyboard - It doesn't support iPods, please don't lie on your website. Enough... enjoy the random pictures from my messy California home. Hello, Philly on Wednesday! 

#10. 3rd MBP

Finally, I received her from Shanghai, China. The 3rd MacBook Pro: 2.4GHz with 4G of ram, 160GB 7200 RPM hard drive. The LED screen is not 1000% prefect, the bottom 1/3 of the screen is still a tiny tiny tiny bit darker than the top, but she is much better than the first two bitches (MBPs). Therefore, I am going to keep her. Video and pictures are coming soon.

#9. Mission Completed

It was a long day, but I felt accomplished; somehow even more than last summer after grading the final projects. It was a joy to see their success in drafting, hear them say "Thank You", and see the smiles on their face the first time after a rough week. It was my last mission before the departure to the next new/huge step in life.

#8. Apple MBP - Part 2

Some asked: if I had a CD/DVD in the computer while I was moving/shaking around.  They also wanted to know the motivation behind my complains. Very simple, everyone should be aware of the problems with the SR MBP.

#7. Bummer + Lame + Capitalism = Apple Inc.

I received the 2nd one this morning. Seriously, what else can I "biatch" about this whole situation with the newly released Apple MBP. The LED screen is better than the first one; but it still has the yellowish overcast at the bottom 1/3 of the screen.

Do I have to say anything about the following additional issues - Turn up your volume and listen:


The screen is bent, the machine is "singing" and "crying"; beautiful and well done. Dude: "All your factories are located in China. You don't pay the Chinese that well, and your products are overpriced. $3,100 is not enough for some Quality Control?" Indeed, economic systems take advantage of the poor, especially Capitalism in the America!  The 3rd one should be here in 2-3 weeks, so stay tuned.

#6. Life is "Good"

I live nearly 50 feet away from the Davis Senior High School. This is what I usually see in the morning between 7:15AM to 7:55AM: Kids jump out of Mercedes, BMWs, Hummers, Jaguars, Lexus and other big ass SUVs. Life is not bad!

I always wanted to know: How many of them are actually aware that their lives are so much better than many others on this planet? In fact, this is not just a question for the high school kids, what about college students and the ignorant individuals in this country / around the globe?

I visited GuangZhou, China in May. My dad and I were on our way to the gym, I saw this on the sidewalk:

"My College Dream. Dear ladies and gentlemen: How are you! Maybe it is rare to see my type of begging! If you trust me, please help me. I can never ever imagine this kind of cruel misfortunate happened to me. My father passed away a year ago; later, my mother abandoned us. I am forced to drop out due to financial problems. I really have no idea how to continue my college education; therefore, I am......"


We were in a big hurry, so I did not get to photography the entire message. Indeed, there are hundreds and thousands out there are suffering much more serious issue than him, but I would like to use his photo and message as a constant reminder: appreciate life and opportunities!

#5. Kitty Cat

She hates me and she loves me. Whenever I'm at my desk, she is right next to me. Her life is way too chill in respect to what is going on next her.

#4. MacBook Pro - Defective LED Screen

It was a 15" 2.4Ghz glossy display MBP. The LED screen was screwed up. The bottom 1/3 of the screen was darker than the top. This is a serious issue among the new Santa Rosa MBP with a LED display. Apple has not yet address this publicly. I think they do not want to do the recall. They are sending me a new one, and I will keep doing the return/exchange until I am 1000% satisfied.

Before I returned the computer, I installed Windows. It was easy.

#3. Ah! Birds

I was a little scared when this happened. You would too if you were me. Check it out, I recorded this at my front door in Davis, California (11/10/2006).

Mmm... What if I had a loaded shotgun?

#2. Web Design

I never taken any web design courses, but I spent hours and hours in front my computer playing and testing.  I think I am getting better. Indeed, the supports from the two greatest graphic/web designers Kaz and Law are priceless. Anyway, I designed www.jennifervaldez.com for Anna's sister earlier this year. Enjoy!
