Mechy Magnet Effect

Tuesday, April 30th, 2002

common guys, I need some feedback. So far only one person has voted. Gimme your luv!!! Hehe. Anyways, links are working now in the beta interface.

Today I witness the first Mechy Magnet Effect. As I was walking home from class, I bumped into mechy. It was like a natural phenomenon!!! All the times before, I was just exaggerating a rumor, but today I can tell that everything I’ve said was not an exaggeration. As I was saying, I bumped into mechy. Next to him was a girl on each side and they were pretty good looking. They were chatting and I just stood there laughing inside and smiling outside. Mechy noticed me and came up and asked what was so funny. I said ‘oh, nothing.’ So we walked back home together. The girls kept on following us, but didn’t talk to mechy along the entire route so I thought, maybe I was wrong…, we were @ the intersection where we usually bid farewell, and the moment I walked away from mechy, the 2 girls resumed their talking with him. I couldn’t stop my self from having this big grin. Inside of me and I was rolling on the floor laughing outloud. And I thought to myself, “the rumor’s actually true!!!” There you go, the Mechy Magnet Effect experienced first hand by me.

There was a 2nd drama today, but pardon me for not revealing any names. Let’s just call them Pika and Potamus (the 2 stuff animals I have with me right now. I missed my others so much!!!) Pika is the mischievous one. Pika would go around and fool with other people’s stuff and just likes to be mischievous. Well, Pika today did a very bad bad thing. Pika stole Potamus’ cellfone. Not wanting to end up in jail, pika comes up with a genius plan, but required help from me. Of course since Pika was my friend, I couldn’t say no and was glad to help. After stealing the cellfone, the cellfone kept ringing (pika’s guessing potamus is looking for the cellfone) and quickly implements his plan. I answered the cellfone and it was potamus. Potamus recalls bringing the cellfone with him, but I made a lie and said: really? It’s always been here. Since potamus just woke up, he didn’t seem too sure anymore, so everything is no back to normal. But since the truth has been revealed now, pika’s going to hate me and potamus will torture me until I reveal who pika is. But who knows what will happen…. Hehe ^_^x

Currently 5:10am and I have an appointment @ 9:30 tomorrow. So adios! ^_^zzz Oh yeah, liam’s been bothering about picture of the week, so I found one that I think is worthy to make into the hall of fame. Enjoy ^_^x

Supply of Straws

Monday, April 29th, 2002

I got a present today! w00h00! Thanks to carii, my supply of straws for me to chew on has been replenished. It also came with cute looking ribbon. Thank you!!!

I really hate it when someone makes fun of me in my back, especially when I’m in hearing distance. Last Thursday (boat dance nite), I was eating dinner by myself because everyone was going to the boat dance. There was a group of boys behind me that were chatting. I was eating my way and they were eating their way, but suddenly I heard them say, “You know, some people were just meant to be loners. Take for example, that guy over their with the tail. He might think that his tail looks great but see how he has no friends…” At the moment, I wanted to go over there and just.. just.. well do something, argue, hit, whatever that guy. But I didn’t have a good argument to present, plus I had no proof. So I quietly left. Last nite on Simpsons, I heard the best quote that released all this frustration:

Politician: What are you wearing? I’ve seen better chains on tires.
Mr. T: I pity the foo’ who criticizes others’ fashion to boost his self-esteem.
Politician: I hate my life.

I can just imagine myself going up there and saying that ;p It would’ve been so great.

Beta Interface has been updated. The only links that don’t work right now are Links and the sublinks of Old News. Enjoy. Please vote! ^_^x

Beta Interface

Sunday, April 28th, 2002

it’s 5:20am in the morning and I just finished helping boby bear with his cs project. What have I been doing tonite. Lemme see… well, besides sleeping, I was working on a beta interface for my website.

Today was just one of those days where you weren’t given enough time to complete what you’ve set forth to do because of interferences. I was hoping to accomplish a lot more with my new interface, but I guess that’s life.

Spoke with a very special friend linders today whom I haven’t spoke to in ages. Glad to know that people are still around and alive (hehe).

Free Yahoo! Mail through POP3

Saturday, April 27th, 2002

just a normal weekend today. Sleeping when the sun rises and waking when the sun sets. Some genius found a glitch on the Yahoo! mail servers (thanks to groundzero for point it out to me). Here is the link if you still want to use Yahoo! email. Their smtp servers (the server you use to send out) don’t work, but you can easily change that to your own isp’s smtp server or be like me and switch to a different service.

Last nite, liam and I were discussing how it’s fun to just randomly chat with people’s computer with them either being away or asleep drooling on their keyboard. He was drunk (okay not drunk, tipsy. Why do you even care if I’m politically correct?) yesterday and randomly chatted with this anonymous girl and had this big philosophical speech. The girl came back later, but that’s not the point. I recall the meeshell monster doing this many times late @ nite and I’ll wake up and have these awesome msgs to read (yes, I used to sleep like a normal human being, but I’m practicing to become an EECS major. I’ve got the nocturnal business down. Now I need to learn how to shower once a week or less) Well, here’s a little demonstration on how talking to computers can be so fun: click here. (btw, don’t get any weird ideas about the content. It was merely a demonstration! *hik*)

New links are up: added bapsfrick (my ex-best friend – sounds like my ex-boyfriend huh? Well technically that’s true. He was a boy and he was a friend, lol) and my sister’s site up. Go check it out.

AHHHHHH! Don’t you hate when you get something working, the other part that was working before stopped!?!?! Hmmm, this actually applies to 2 things that happened to me today now that I think about it. First it was my CS project (just realized how my troubles today could relate to it). Remember the CS project I ditched last Friday, well, I had to do it today. Procrastination will only find it’s way back to haunt you even more. Was working on my CS Project writing Logo in Scheme. Everything went well. Got stuck for the longest time on one problem. Finally got it to work and then realized several of our codes in the beginning no longer worked. AHHHH! Too much data abstraction. Hopefully the part that was due on Monday wasn’t affected. As for the 2nd thing, it was my surprise. That you’ll haveta wait. Can’t ruin it now. Hehe. ^_^x

prince of tennis - eiji - nanjaro hoi hoi

Was watching Prince of Tennis today, and saw this flash. The word Kenshin caught my attention and I decided to post it up. Nothing really special. Anime’s really good, but I can’t wait for more Hikaru no Go!!! Sigh…

Amendment:
Guess I spoke too early. I do have the surprise up and ready for display. If you haven’t noticed already, my new url is: www.krunk4ever.com. I’ll be moving the site soon to a real host instead of forwarding it to my OCF Berkeley account. My email has also changed to toland@krunk4ever.com. Update your email address books. ^_^x

Rental Applications

Thursday, April 25th, 2002

sorry for not updating yesterday guys. Don’t even remember what I did last night. Probably wasted once again. Lol.

Oh wait… now I remember, I was filling out my Rental Application. Rental Applications are so powerful. You get the person’s name, dob, address, credit cards, bank accounts, and enough info to actually do a whole lotta damage on you. Well, I had my apartment interview today. We walked in, shook hands and she accepted us, no questions asked (even before we gave her our rental application). We were like: WOW! (we = cunndogg and I). Welp, I’m all set for housing next year. Going to cost ~$640/month for a pretty nice-sized studio right next to the MechE building (Etcheverry) which is right next to the CompSci building (Soda). Great location, Great price, what else can you ask for. ^_^x

Added more MT doodles. Only had 2 this time and only doodled in Math 54 (which I got a …, n/m I usually jinx myself when I say that). As for quality of paper, I noticed that my scan went through, so that can only mean 2 things: the scanner got a brighter light or the paper on the MT got thinner). Which really means only one reason, hehe.

I’m hoping I can announce my surprise by tomorrow. If not, then I’m sorry. Everyone just got back from the Boat Dance and right now ohfuee is cutting drsarkis’ hair @ 3am. Hehe. G’nite ^_^zzz or should I say g’morning! ^_^x

Ooooopz, almost forgot! http://www.PetitionOnline.com/jinchuu/ please spread the word! thanks ^_^x

here’s a little something I whipped up, and sorta thanking those who check daily:

New Apartment

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2002

got my 2nd physics MT back and my score was a C+. yuck. Should try harder, but I just don’t have the self-motivation to do so. Oh well, at least I’m passing this class. I have a bad feeling for my CS and Psych though. Sigh… a very bad semester indeed.

My future roommate cunndogg and I are getting excited because we found a studio on Hearst right next to Etcheverry (for those that live in Berkeley, you know how close I’m talking about. Classes will no longer be 5-10 mins away, but instead 2-5 mins. Hehe) and the landlord is interested in renting it to us. We’re having an interview on Thursday so wish us g’luck!

Stupid Yahoo will POP3 mail starting wed. the 24th (for most of you reading, that’ll be today. Actually it must be today cause it’s 6:43am and it’ll probably be ~7am when I post it. Unless you’re here late @ nite and it’ll be the Thursday the 25th) I’m frantically searching for a better email service, if all works out, there’ll be a surprise.

BUSHITSU!

Monday, April 22nd, 2002

picture of the week has been FINALLY updated. It’s more of a humorous shot instead of a beautiful shot. Others can also say it’s a frightening shot, but I believe most of you will find it humorous. Hehe ^_^x

Nothing much happened today, but would you believe this: my suitemate lost his notebook this morning with all the notes he took from the book: the Sun Also Rises by Hemingway. He thought, that’s okay, I’ve already implemented a majority of what I have into my essay. Tonight he returns and discovers that the diskette failed on him. A true tragedy and if that happened to me, it would’ve been one of the worst days in my life. Hope everything works out for him. @ times like this, I’d heed to Jason Lee’s advice: BUSHITSU!!!

calday pictures are up along with the comments. Enjoy ^_^x

As promised I’ll explain what happened to me this week. Actually, the logs should be self explanatory: Log1 | Log2 | Log3 | Log4

There’s a boat dance next week (semi-formal) and everyone is starting to get excited about it. Guys asking girls, girls asking guys, girls trying to figure out how to nicely reject a guy, guys trying to figure what to wear (tux? suit?). It’s one big comedy scene and reminds me of prom all over again.

Apartment Searching

Saturday, April 20th, 2002

Liam’s bday pictures are up along with the story.

Today I went apartment searching. The apartment I saw was really nice, however the cost was above what I wanted to pay ($1650/2ppl). Tomorrow, I’m going to go see my second apartment which we hopefully will like.

Oh yah! Today was Cal Day and all the prospect Berkeley students (well, most) came up to visit the school. As I was walking down Hearst, I bumped into Earl and Alice’s group by coincidence. (yesterday I was all worried about how to contact them, hehe). I had an appointment with a landlady so I met up with them later. Their photo album is up, but I haven’t had time to input my story. Maybe later today. It was a lot of fun today, but with only 3 hrs of sleep after the party yesterday, I came back dead and slept from 4-9. hehe
