Well, I am going to wait for my Porsche Cayenne in Dec 2010, the month that i would receive two masters. Yes, some friends and family friends don't believe that I am in graduate school.

FROM: MADAM, STELLA DE-MABOIR
KHARTOUM, REPUBLIC OF SUDAN

Direct Mobile Number: + 2778 845 3332

Dear Sir/Madam

You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don't know me in person, but for the purpose of introduction, l am Madam, Stella de-Maboir. Wife of a late Politician and X-Vice President of Republic of Sudan, DR JOHN GARANG DE-MABOIR who happens to be the former rebel leader of the SUDAN PEOPLE LIBERATION MOVERMENT SPLM), who died on Saturday the 30th July 2005 on a sabotaged helicopter crash just three weeks after his inauguration on the 9th July 2005 at our capital (KHARTOUM).

I want to transfer my late husband's Money worth the sum of USD$75,000,000.00 to you for safe keeping until I arrived in your country for my family investment. Originally, this money was mapped out to procure Arms and Ammunitions for the SPLM military wing and my husband was solely in charge of organizing this Purchase. Unfortunately, as the news of the peace agreement reached my husband while he was still overseas to make the Arms Deal/Procurement, he used this opportunity to divert this money for our family future Use. He was fortunate to be overseas when the news came and he deposited the Consignment (CASH) as family valuables for security reasons with a security company overseas.

After depositing the money, he came back and notified me and my son about the money, and he handed over the documents to me before he was inaugurated along with other top SPLM officials. The cabinet of the Incumbent President, OMAR AL BASHIR has denied any Government involvement in masterminding the death of my beloved husband. Now my first son and l have decided to transfer this money to a foreign Country where we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Sudan for fear of losing the money into the hand of my Government, because after the death of my husband, I was called in the Parliament concern the money which I told them that I do not know any thing about the money or where my husband kept it.

I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter, if you are willing to assist me, my son and l have agreed to give you 20% of the total money, 5% will be mapped out for refunds of expense to both parties, while 75% will be for my family's investment in your country. Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance, please kindly endeavor to reply me through the above email or call me directly in overseas through this mobile number +27 78 845 3332, or reply to
Me or my son MUTAYA by our Email address above stellademaboir@gmail.com for more clarifications and procedures.

Remember that this is Highly Confidential and the success of this transaction depends on how secret it is been kept, as I do not want my Government to know about this money.
Thanks and may God Grant us Smooth Transaction and long relationship
.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best Regards
Madam, Stella De-Maboir

#74 Plans

I haven't touch the blog for a while. Life has been busy. Allergy is killing me, destroying me little by little... daily. Claritin liqui gels are not helping.

I cannot keep my eyes open. Write again later!

I borrowed my classmate my sexy and juicy camera, i found this in my memory card. I don't know who made that. I think the pattern is pretty cool.

#73. Mac Pro and...

FInally, a fast and sexy machine. Rendering result in Maya. Mac Pro 14 seconds vs. MacBook Pro 43 Seconds. V-ray in Rhino. Mac Pro 2.8 seconds vs. MacBook Pro 13.8 seconds.



Life has been tough. I mean what is not tough? From the first day of my life, your life, your mom's life, what do we do? seriously... the moment you "touchdown" on the face of this planet - you cry. Yeah? You cry and cry and cry... baby cry. Because you were like: "oh damn, now i have to learn how to speak, go to school, and work and work, sex and sex, then can't sex, can't walk, then die."

Life is short. Enjoy every moment. Don't take things too serious, otherwise you will get old fast like me. It's a lesson. Just chill and listen to this track, relax your body and mind!

---> Femme Fatale <---

#72. Need to Feel Loved

Such a beautiful song by Adam K & Soha - Need To Feel Loved. For me, music is one of the best ways to relax my body and mind. Enjoy!

Wish me luck with school and life, I know I am not a prefect man, I make many mistakes in life. Perhaps, this is the way I learn and grow. Life is short, enjoy everyday! Best wish to my dear grandmother. She is in the hospital, in a comma. I hope to see her in May!

#71. www.liuding.com / updated site

I must thank my buddy Law. Great collaboration. Of course, we must remember the master: Kaz... the man is busy as hell though.

An updated website that showcase my design work from undergraduate UC Davis to graduate school - UPenn. Grad stuff is in progress... so let's wait another 1.5 year. Everything together as an archive. I love the mess. Check it out @ www.liuding.com

#70. Ya Ya Ya

This is what i do for fun. Don't you want to be me? No sleep sometimes, but you will have a lot of fun with your computer. You will have to totally control, you can make your computer cry like a baby boy by one click at 4 am. {Render}

#69. ORDOS 100 - Plot 62

No need to say much about this one. It's a beautiful thing to share. I rendered, I drew, I modeled - 3D & physical... and so much more in the summer of 2008. Everyone got a piece of this. A great team work. Srdjan was the man! I miss that dirty burrito from 17th and Spruce. Damn!

A great experience with my classmates from UPenn School of Design: Margaux Schindler, Kristen Smith (check out their work @ the PennDesign studio gallery. Of course, they are super!). Kevin and Thad were super as well. Ben...? Where are you? Anyway. please take a look and smile like you mean it. Otherwise, go get a big fat dirty burrito; then you will have a big fat dirty smile for the rest of the day!

You see that sexy structure model? Yup! Roger that!

#68. Guantanamo Bay

In case you don't know much about this palace. Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detainment_camp

We paid for this Multi-Million dollar facility to over power human beings. Our tax money! I am glad that dude is back home chilling with his papa and smoking a fat joint. If you have time, read the Wikipedia link.

#67. Napa

I must say this: What a nice day in Napa, California! Just 55 minutes away from home, a visit at the Dominus Winery in Napa Valley. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron. (In case you don't know, their first project in the U.S.)

The Dominus Winery open to the public 11 times a year. October is the harvest season, so they close. The owner visits the winery 5 times a year. What a money dude! You must make an appointment for your visit. Let's keep this short, it was great. You can't taste their wine, you can't buy their wine at the winery. If you are money, you can make whatever rule you want. Indeed, they are money!

#66. just another year

What is the difference between 12-31-2008 and 01-01-2009? for many people... "oh my god, it's 2009. a new year. let's go party and get laid". sure... sure... just another day, my dear friends! Careless here about the parties. I am not 22. Hey, I am pumping that shit at the UC Davis ARC again like a 22 year old undergrad. The funny thing is, i am wearing a PennDesign t-shirt... totally Philly style. Happy new day like everyday! This is an old man, "New Year Day"!

#65. Sleepless

no sleep is normal from us, or you can stay no shower for a night or two is usual. girls with greasy hair, dudes? go figure. It was a good semester; I must say. When i look back at last semester, WTF... I can't design? I can't think? I don't know what the hell i am doing here in grad school? speak no English? I can't use that project for anything, nothing, wasted... I am more than just mad. Just a big disappointment. The dude gave up on you. I am not going to common on this particular issue more. He is a good guy. I respect him a lot, i blame myself too.

I am going to update my website in January. A brand new site features my undergrad and graduate work. I have to spend some time to structure the site and work with my web buddy Law over the break. Fall 08, a great group of people; of course a great leader. My final project will be posted on the site... hopefully in mid or late Jan. I mean... my project is not the greatest; what is greatest or best really mean? I careless if i am the topdog, i just produce hard and be happy with the outcome. They say no it's not good enough, i'll fix it and make it sexy.

By the way, they dismissed the Via bullxxxx. What a waste of time, of course my time. So i had a meeting with the xxxx second in charge. The first thing she asked me in her office was "you know who i am right? ....." Come on, you can scare the Chinese like that? How professional. Immediately, i think she is weak. Just lame. "you know who i am right?" Do i really give a crap about that? Even if you are G.W.Bush. I don't care... No overpowering! I pay you $37,000 a year. You ask me that? Do i know who you are?

Before i peace out, i think this is a money shot. They had problems with it. No one is perfect. I am happy with it because i tried.

#64. none

No one is prefect, the word prefect is not prefect, it's an illusion. I enjoy the good and bad moments in life. I learn from my mistakes.

I just love @ minute 2:30.

#63. Party

Don't you tired of seeing those Penn party girls with the same old mini skirt year over year. I mean, create something new. I am sorry, maybe i am getting old. Yes, I am an old graduate student. Don't laugh, you will get old too. Let's just enjoy a pretty image that i rendered. I think it's pretty... it's not THAT pretty, but it is pretty in some way. Mmmmm, the bottom black is kinda like cheap.

I love you so much, and the Chinese think that Peter North and Sarah Palin? It's a joke. Don't take me too serious.

It's 4:50 AM here in Philadelphia. Of course i am in the design studio, super ADD status. Listening trance. I think this is a cool track. Stemcell, by Tiesto. BTW, i have this DVD.

#60. Sketch

I know I always post random crap. Blah Blah... Time for some serious stuff. Stuff that non-designers won't understand.

A small sketch model to show my studio (boss) what the hell i am thinking. I'd say this is maybe 3% of the final building. Foam board and type, 1/4" scale; easy and simple method. I won't explain what is going on here. It is not as simple as you think or see. Circulation, edges, structure, ecological, surface tension etc... etc...



listen to this and enjoy my blog!

#59. Structure

My studio project has something to do with water or bubble. I like it, water is one of the elements of life. I need it, you need it; your mom needs it too. So I modeled this structure to show their relationship. When water molecules meet - the internal cladding - they created flat surfaces.



By the way, I reformatted my hard drive the 5th time within a month. This is how I learn. Way to go.

Yes, I have issues with those fake tan people, most of them are those who wanna be platinum blonde. I am sorry girls, sucks for your skin.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7620841.stm

Hey, I am getting a master of architecture in tanning, by the way, a second master in whatever the hell you want me to do. How does it sound? Contact me... I'll show you how to get tan.

#53. back

I haven't touch this for a while. Back in CA on the 31st from China. Back in Philly last week. 2nd year grad started last week. again, new concept towards my education: health #1, school #2. I will no longer going all out like my first semester at UPenn. When those topdogs walk out Meyerson Hall, no one knows who you are. Anyway, I am not always right about everything. Leave this topic to bed.

China was crazy. Just hot and hot and hot. sweat my balls off. I am running out of juice. I am out. Can't type. I'll upload some crazy shit later.

#52. In Asia

I missed my flight from Philly to Vegas / Sacramento on Saturday. I wasn't super late though. I mean you got to hit the gym before you seat down for 6 + hours. Southwest over booked the flight. No more seats! How ridiculous is that? They put me on different flight to CA. I went to Nashville, TN. then to Los Angeles. then a 3rd flight to Northern California. I spent almost 10 hours to travel.

(You know what's funny about the trip? Those fake tan / wanna be California Blondie mid west chicks. Oh, I am sorry I forgot you don't have the beach. Oops, I am sorry, you have to jump into the machines to change your skin color.)

Two days later. I jumped on super 747 flighting machine from San Francisco to Hong Kong. 14 hours flight, my brother! Guess what happen on the plane. I knocked over orange juice, screw my pants and underwear. I call that the orange wet dream over the pacific. It wasn't that bad, but i feel bad for the old lady next to me. Anyway, I arrived HK at 6 am; took the express train to the city, then cabbed to my aunt's $3 million dollar apartment. Here I am. Hong Kong, China. I am so sleepy.

#51. You just have to love

Trance. This is by DJ Tiesto. In Search of Sunrise 7.

I will be in China in a week. I hope to go see the Bird's Nest in Beijing. Otherwise, I'd like to go visit the earthquake site.

#50. Trance

This is a good song by Robbie Rivera, a trance/house DJ from Miami, FL. He played at the NYE party with Tiesto in Los Angeles on Dec 31st, 2007. If you like trance, you will know what i am talking about. Otherwise, move on.

-- // Back To Zero // --

#49. Not Just Trance

It's not just Trance and Trance. I mean, I love that stuff a lot. BUT... those gangster raps are just sick!  Hey, where am I..  Hello? I am in Philly, brother!  West Philly dawg!  Not the real Westside, but it's the west... west Philly brother! You hear that? 

#48. IPD

After meeting with the man this morning. Finally and officially, I am in for a second master's degree at the University of Pennsylvania. Master of Science in Engineering - Integrated Product Design. Double it up baby! with the current warfare: Master of Architecture. This is going to be an exciting and sleepless adventure in the greatest, beautiful, and ghetto city: Philadelphia.

My buddy Law and I will design and build a new website within 6 - 8 months. It will be completely redesigned. I am thinking maybe not a full flash site. Let's wait and see. I will post all my design work from undergrad to now graduate school, as well as professional, ie. Ordos 100. I hope to combine this blog with the new website. However, i just cannot stop posting random BS. It might not be a good idea? This blog is all about randomness, because i am just very random. Like most of my friends from college would say: "you are so crazy!".
(maybe because i love trance and techno)

#47. Please

Suck it up. That's all I can say. A very good article on BBC. From personal experience; no pain, no gain. I did some kinda of amature bodybuilding back in 2003 - 2005. I transformed into an animal, I could easily pump 100 lbs dumbbells on a flat bench for chest, two arms together 200 lbs., about 25 lbs over my body weight. Pound for pound, I was pretty ripped. Nowadays, I screw the 80's on flat. (FYI, i was 140 lbs, skinny little FOB back in 1998.)


(what a strong son of bitch!)

Anyhow, I know it's possible to change your body; Only if you have the will to do so. In fact, I understand people have a busy life; hard to find time to join a gym; and self conscious problem (this kills everything). None of those BS excuses please. You can seat in front of your brainwash machine aka TV for hours because of those ridiculous TV shows, and you cannot move your ass around on a treadmill for 30 mins three times a week? Oh baby... shake it!

My suggestion is that be yourself and believe yourself. People's lives are too good in the US. We have the opportunities here way more than the peers on the other side of the earth. Stop eating junk food and consume massive amount of sugar. Self conscious problem; leave it to bed. Nothing is impossible, it is impossible when one doesn't have the will.

#46. Bro-Hoes

Katie W. said: "I am so sick of these fake boobs and bleached blonde hair and Bro-Hoes!" Golden! A true statement about those (i really don't want to call them batches, because some of them aren't. however, most of them are) Souther California batches. They need to get real, life is too good; get out of that kinda bubbly life, be an outsider and look back at other bro-hoes. Perhaps, they will find out something about that type of so call "sexy" life.

"Bro"... so Davis, California. A place that filled with undergrad Frat boy. Well, I have frat boy friends, they are cool. BUT... others are just rotten and smells. No comments on the "sisters"; at least 75% of them don't go tanning; unlike those young & old ma ma-s in Philadelphia. Ridiculous! Chicks jump into those machines to change their skin color because they wanna to have a playboy tan 45 degree above their pee pee land. What a joke! I can go forever about this kinda crap. I walk by a place called "Hollywood Tan" Mon - Fri in center city Philly. Give me a dirty red brick, i will throw it into the saloon.

Ok, let's talk about some positive. check out this video on ESPN. Maybe those fake boobs and bleached blonde hair and Bro-Hoes should show their sluttness in Beijing for the Olympic, let those Chinese daddy bros to take care of them in the eastern way.

#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 man (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 fxxx 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.)

#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.

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 crap, think twice...

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.

#29. one ugly muthafucka

#28. I like this

People talk trash 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 Fu n Ny aka Rancho Gabi's sister earlier this year. Enjoy!
