Death Ray Hotel

Vdara Hotel & Resort in Las Vegas was a great hotel to stay in. Free of smokes and casinos' "bing-bing-bing" machines' sounds. I wish I can stay there for a longer time. It sure was a beautiful and great experience.

Now, Vdara is on the news for firing "death rays" due to its concave design of the building. It creates a magnifying glass effect and burn certain part of the pool area. Few people reported burns quickly. *I just had a deja vu.* I am glad I stayed at the death ray hotel.

Following is the news article about it: Click HERE and HERE

Goo

Suddenly, interested in HOCC aka Denise Ho, 何韻詩.
A female musician from Hong Kong.
I never paid much attention to her or any entertainment or politics from Hong Kong since not much is affected to me.
She got my attention from the TVB drama, OL Supreme or 女王辦公室.

She seems like a fun person through her blogs online.
I really like this one she put.

RUN RUN RUN RUN......

今天流了很多汗.

科學證明
做運動能有效減少情緒問題.
做運動的人比較快樂

我認為有可能是因為汗腺跟淚腺
根本是連在一起的,
讓汗留出來,水分都給用光了
也就不會再想流淚
也就比較快樂.

我給自己流了很多汗, 今天。"


To summarize, exercise makes you sweat. According to scientific proofs, people who exercise are happier and have less emotional problems. She thinks sweat glands and tear glands are connected. If we are all sweated out, all the water is used up so we don't have any left for tears. No tears means happier.

I didn't run on treadmill but I do walk til I sweated. It sure feels better afterwards.

Weird Dream 2

Couple nights ago, I had two violent dreams again. Don't remember much now.
Last night, I had a dream about... Twitter... -__-. I was talking with someone through Twitter and a celebrity finally tweeted after weeks of inactivity.
Weird dreams lately, I want a good dream to cheer me up.

Suckmail

Hotmail is down AGAIN!!!
That's twice in a month. It had never happened before. They may be upgrading their server to become better but they should at least warn people about the downtime. It's a bit frustrating. I thought I was hacked when they said my ID and PW don't match.

Waiting...

Sometimes, waiting takes majority of time.
Waiting for browser to load, download, upload.
Even applications for jobs and school, it takes a lot of time to wait.
Don't you wish sometimes they can just give you a feedback whether it's a yes or no immediately?
All these waiting/pending period is seriously throwing out a lot of my planning.

In Memory...

Today is September 11, 2010 in Pacific Standard Time.
Watching a lot of Sept 11th programming about the "terrorism" on United States 9 years ago.
I didn't feel anything 9 years ago but after watching widows/widowers and survivors. I really feel sad about what happened. It doesn't seem like 9 years ago. It still feels like it happened two or three years ago. Some said it's a setup by the government to strike fear in the Americans and excuse to attack Afghanistan. In the end, they still can't find Osama Bin Laden and they attacked Iraq instead. WTF?! I don't really know what is going on but I wish those things never happen again. It's tough to lose someone you care about and love.

QOTW 1

Mom: "Michael, where are you going?"
Michael: "I am going Number Two, mom!"

Mmm... Pasta...

Pasta is a feel-good Korean TV drama. It's about a girl who finally got to be a cook after three years as a kitchen assistant until a new chef shows up. It is a very nice, sweet love story with tasty looking food.
I enjoyed watching it. I always love a happy ending in these kinds of drama. It's fun to watch with few quirky people.

I wish to learn to cook, especially pasta because I am a pasta lover myself.

Posso farle.

iTouch

So Apple has new lines of products again... it's new iPod Touch which I called iTouch... it's shorter. Sounds wrong? Yes but it's shorter. The new iTouch is very much an iPhone 4 without the dropped calls problem. It even has FACETIME! How, you asked? Well, they use wifi apparently. Now that iTouch can use Facetime, what's good is an iPhone? Well... no use unless you actually use the iPhone to talk and text. Other phones can do those with much cheaper price. The new nano is pretty cool, too... if you have small fingers. Check those out if you are an Apple fan.
