suz and i took a nice long stroll along 2nd ave. from 14th to 75th street. we stumbled upon a store that was going out of business so we went in to look for some great deals. it turns out that i found a shampoo that consisted of garlic oil shampoo! who in the hell would buy this kind of shampoo? peepos who are scared of vampires? or peepos who get annoyed with bugs hovering around their heads? i did actually open the lid and took a quick whiff and boy, the smell was pretty strong. anyway, if you ACTUALLY want to buy that shampoo, just e-mail me and i'd be happy to give you the exact location of this store.
earlier tonight, i was walking back home with my grocery bags. next to my building is a new built private french-owned school. i see many parents wearing suits and dresses. i don't even see a guy wearing a polo shirt. there are even a few limos waiting in front of the school. this is definitely a group of uptight, high-class parents. i wonder how much is the academic tuition for a year there... isn't it sad that a child's tuition at this school would be more hefty than the one at a public college? usually a brief timeline of your college times is supposed to be your ultimate highlight of your long fulfilling life. i would be very PROUD of my kid if he went to a poor, funded public schools, and come out with a successful career. i have this belief that regardless on the levels of 'school society,' a decent teacher is all we ever need to guide students on a yellow brick road to a flourishing world. many teachers are definitely underappreciated in these days. i vote that principals/chancellors take a pay cut and give the portions to teachers. anyway, these snobby parents ought to support the teachers instead of hanging out often with the senior faculties. well, enough of my blabbering here! i think i noticed myself that i haven't been typing any intriguing thoughts into this blog lately. is it because i've lost the motiviation to keep up with this blog? or perhaps, my website is sooo friggin' outdated? (well, new site is still in the works now... so i guess you'll be expecting a new site to pop up here someday soon... how soon? don't ask me...)
went to see him today
got such a positive aura in myself after his public speaking ended. you can't help but notice that there is so many people supporting him and trying to help tibet break free from china's control.
taken earlier tonight.
interesting article about how we the americans are being hypnotized in believing some products can do the wonders for you when they aren't meant to.

did we ever think that back in the early 20th century, cigarettes were GOOD for your health??? now we get those disgusting 'truth' ads flashing on TVs about the facts of what tobacco can do your health. sometimes i do wish that they could still continue to show that cigarettes are still good AND cool for your health so we could have a growth control of population on this earth instead of exponentially multiplying when we the americans all are so conscious of our health and age.
this is a great reality check in the world.
now you understand why i'm not so fond of corporate world.
a project for a client is in the works right now.

Using a pager will send you to a jail though not directly here in the usa! *whew*
i just had one of the mellowiest holiday weekends... just stayed in long island over at suz's new place. practically doing NOTHING but get a well-deserved cuddling quality time with suz. sometimes you have to get off a highway and rest from all the hectic weeks.
last thursday, i went to the us open tennis tournament in flushing, ny and it was a blast watching the tennis matches live. i never thought that i would see myself going to a tennis match, but us open atmosphere definitely got me hooked watching. i just love to see some players make body languages. here's a picture of robby ginepri playing his 2nd round match:
yes suz and i actually sat just a few rows away from the court for one of the matches and it was really cool to see the match upclose! i hope to come back again next year! so if you are in nyc area on the last two weeks of august, check the us open tennis out!
