Seattle 2006
Friday, May 12, 2006
Hail to the Peerless City, Metropolis of the west,
The gateway to the Orient,
Whom grandeur hath caressed!
Her men and women active, proud,
Seattle build sublime,
And greater far than ancient Rome,
The matchless for all time.
Sorry for the very long break between posting - I didn't have the energy to dual post on both blogger and xanga the last few months (I am characteristically a very lazy blogger). Anyway, exams have been over for a while already, and I have been enjoying a rather decadent summer break :D
My cousin Joy came to visit us for a couple weeks, and we all went to Seattle for a few days with Tiff and Jer, on our first parent-free vacation! Sightseeing is way more fun when you aren't forced to take mandatory family shots all the time, hehehe.... Neverthess, we still took a lot of photos :p
The protest picture is kind of out-of-place, but we saw a HUGE parade of people going through the streets on May 1st, in response to the nation-wide protest against immigration laws. That was actually pretty cool, it was like seeing history in the making :p
That's all I feel like posting right now... hopefully I will be able to head back to Calgary for a decent portion of the summer, so I can catch up with the Calgary folk :D. Until then, have a relaxing and productive summer!

The other kind of Project
Tuesday, February 28, 2006
I believe this is blogger style #10. Blogger templates just makes it too easy to keep changing things up (^_^)
Anyway, as most of you guys know, I have been planning on going to a project with Campus Crusade to some *cough* asian country. Danny, Scott, Sheridan and Wong graciously wrote me a reference for it :p
One thing that I never considered was that all of these projects start at the beginning of May, overlapping with my graduation ceremony. I really wanted to go with Crusade, but I'm having a tough time figuring out how to handle this conflict. More details can be found on my xanga, which I have resurrected as a blog for the CRU blogring. I'd appreciate your prayers, as I have no idea what I'm going to do until my summer plans get more cleared up :(
Thanks!

The 2004 Collection.
Monday, February 20, 2006
Hmm, I've been meaning to make this post for a while now - a trip down memory lane, so to speak.
The summer of 2004 (also known as the Summer of Laziness and Unemployment) was mostly spent on improving my HTML and drawing skills. I spent alot of time designing an art website for some reason (d'oh!), and I also mass produced a bunch of photo websites. Most of em are down already (amazingly, my artwebsite hasn't been erased by my uncle yet), but I have most of the html and photos stored in my special "PROJECTS" folder.
Here's a brief archive of these so-called projects:
Project Bailar
Project Birthday
Project Char-Uzu
Project Frenzy
Project Rally
Project Logos
= Amazing Calgary Guys + 2004 Olympics
Yah, I have a thing for cool codenames (^___^)
For those who remember, the Car Rally site actually was pretty cool; it popped up as a new window and had a lot of tables, but I wrote that one directly (no practice html), so it doesn't work anymore :(
Hehe so I just felt like making all of you Calgarians nostalgic about 2004 :D
I still have all the photos from each website if you didn't save em to your hard drive yourself.
Other than that, I guess I'd better get back to studying for my midterms (o_O) !
