Daily Dose of Brain Acid

invited by manny and muck to shoot their fun gig night, dresses are designed and made by manny himself. more to come as i’m still editing them.

I took a weekend getaway at my cousins’ place, another one was flying in from las vegas for a visit as well. and get to see how their kids are like now because i have seen them since 2001. regardless how bad it was on the road, the traffic both way sucked, 3 road repairs to PA, and 1 bad accident back to DC *sigh* the visit was well worth it.
up on arriving may’s home, i was amazed by the greenness, totally admiring how nice it’s to live at the country side, views from any point is totally stunning. i took few snaps at their farm and the back yard, go see for yourself.

granted.. i’ve been slacking on the photos and posts lately… but have no fear, i’ve just uploaded bunch of photos on flickr and facebook, so by the time you guys read this, you might as well seen most of them already. but anyways.. here goes…

around the town in SF while i was on my week long vacation, but actually only 2 days in SF, i have to say, it was too DAMN short :/ not to mention gabe took my fav hat for hostage. he would only return them to me once i moved in. nice going gabe..

SD has always been a town where i can visit and kick back, enjoy the local fish taco that you cant get any where else. not to mention uncrowded beaches. i swear, once i moved to SF, i’d hit those south beaches every weekend.

VLA is an odd ball place where u see the largest satellite in US, their sole purpose… to hear voice from outer spaces… no im just kidding. it’s actually operates by multiplying the data from each pair of telescopes together to form interference patterns. The structure of those interference patterns, and how they change with time as the earth rotates, reflect the structure of radio sources on the sky: they can take these patterns and use a mathematical technique called the Fourier transform to make maps. ok enough nerdy info, let’s move on.

4 hours south of my brother’s home, i hit up white sand national park, it’s been a long time want to visit place. i’ve been to NM too often that i’ve never got the chance to actually GO there. alas.. i got my wish and spend the whole evening doing nothing but lay in those purely white sands.. it was amazing.

in and around NM, tons of cute pictures of my nephew “Niven”

bobby’s place is where u need to be during the holidays like 4th of july or halloween, he will ensure you enjoy your stay. and i did.

i was asked by deafdc to do a photo gig at DPHH in july, the place is so fucking packed that i couldnt even get any elbow room.

after the DPHH, i zoomed over to va and met up with friends at a hole in the wall hookah place in VA. and i love places that just dont kick u out because other places are closing. i think i will host a special even there soon so keep your eyes open.

This is the third report on living cost in Shanghai, following the previous two (I, II). The data is updated according my personal experience in Jan 2007. The data is pretty like the city in my eyes.

It is intended to give overall guideline to living cost in Shanghai.

香港《禁烟条例草案》解读

在《禁烟条例草案》颁布以前，香港政府一直非常重视禁烟问题，多次修改法案增设新规定。新出台的《禁烟条例草案》中，大大增加了禁烟区域。

哪些地方不能吸烟
市内禁烟区中，绝大部分的工作场所和公共场所（如餐厅、办公室、学校、医院、街市，甚至酒吧、卡拉OK等）都禁止吸烟。条例中还着重单条说明———凡任何人士有权进入或获准进入的室内地方，不论是否需要缴费，都不能吸烟。而在室外的一些区域，如医院、学校、公园、公众泳滩、泳池、大球场、湿地公园、公共交通交汇处、扶手电梯，都在禁烟之列。

黄秋生怒了
烟龄超过十年的黄秋生闻“禁”色变：“政府应该用钱去教育下一代，让他们明白抽烟的祸害，我个人也反对吸烟，但实在没有办法。”
他还是呼吁，吸烟的人要有烟品，“千万不要对着小朋友或者孕妇吸烟。”

现在在我生活的华盛顿酒吧和夜总会从新年开始实施禁烟，看来又的象在洛杉矶时一样在外边泡吧了。而上海是我这个没救的烟民的唯一避难区了。

从小到大，在南方的城市里长大，我最向往的就是冬天，一直到现在，我还是最喜欢冬天的。在寒冷的冬天里，我的睡眠是最稳定的，不会半夜里猝然给热醒而后会睡不着。冬天里的雪也是我向往的。。。雪象白色的羽毛，飘到你的手上，又似一个短暂的美丽。每次去北方老爷的家里，我都会站在外边直到家里的人以为我傻掉了，硬把我拉进去。冬天里的乐趣也满多的，无论你怎么玩，都不会玩的满头是臭汗。无论你怎么摔交，下面总是有软软的雪给你垫着。渴了，就随地抓一把干净的雪解渴。
在冬天里，空气也是最清晰的。随便呼吸一下，就会让你马上感到清凉无比。在冬天里的雪山里滑雪，是永远的刺激无比，在那宽敞的雪地里发泄一下对一切的不满。直到倒下去，爬起来！再往下冲！
