Sad day... :(

My dog Tina which I've had since 1992 is on her last days.  She's about 18 years old (translates to about 85 in human years).  It's one of the things that sucks about having a dog... they won't outlive you and when they pass away, its really like losing a part of your family....

Busy Busy Times....

Since Ms. Catherine Cheng has pleaded that I continue updating my blog, I shall :)

Came back from Boston last weekend for Thuy Anh's friend Suru's wedding in which she was the maid of honor. It was my first time in Boston, and it was a total blast! Flight got in hella late, and we rolled in to Boston around 1AM, and got to the hotel around 2:30am (eeks!). We slept, and had to wake up at around 5:30am so that we could meet Suru to help her get ready. Despite all that, it was a blast, and the wedding was beautiful!

After the wedding was over, we planned on roaming around Boston, which we stayed near the Chinatown.

Only minus was I decided to contract a unique case of a single dilated eye. I seriously looked like a one eyed monster.... I came back to SD and went to the hospital... in which I saw a doctor at 11pm who didn't have a clue what I had. She even popped the medical book out in front of me. At the end, my eye actually got better by the end of the week.

Travel Travel Travel!

Just to update, my travel schedule for the next few weeks is going to be crazy!

Here's the schedule so far:

  • July 4 - July 15th: Munich, Germany/Prague, Czech Republic (for work/fun)
  • July 31 - August 4: Portland, Oregon (for uNAVSA conference)
  • August 7 - August 13: Seattle, Washington (for Thuy Anh's friend Tracy's wedding)

I am stoked for my trip to Germany... I am still trying to figure out the best way of going around:

[PLAN A] is to fly in by Saturday July 5th, then drive from Munich to Prague (a 3 1/2 hour drive)  spend a few days in Prague, then drive to Teisnach, Germany which is where I am working from Mon-Fri, then when I am done, drive back to Munich where I can spend the rest of my time there.

[PLAN B] fly in by Sat morning, spend my time in Munich until Sunday, then drive to Teisnach (a ~2 hour drive) and then after I am done, hang out in Prague from Saturday/Sunday, then drive from Prague to Munich then spend the rest of my time there. 

Guess I'll just go with my gut when I get there :)

New Camera out for a spin!

Just got a new camera, the Canon S5 superzoom camera, and decided to take it out for a spin!
