Mr Roboto in Taiwan

This is Mr Roboto in Taiwan. This is dedicated to Michael Pascual. I've known Michael for a while now. He's internationally known. Check out his blog.

California fusion cheesesteak sandwich

The bread was Vietnamese baguette from Lee's. The meat was cut for shabu shabu. Lastly, we used queso to "top" it off. We bought enough for another meal on Sunday.

Viral infection

Title: Viral Infection
Medium: Watercolor block/oil pastel
Above is what I came with as I sat here on a sunday afternoon listening to the Arsonist, Last Emperor, Walking Large, Jeru da Damaga and the rest of my late 90's/early 00's records. The piece entitled, "viral infection" was inspired from this ~300 page Virology book that Dr Pal recommended the class to purchase. I never used my book for that MIC 430 class. All I did was memorized his lecture notes. I recall that he was so surprised when I received a 49/50 on his exam.

Hope

This is probably one of my favorite presidential poster ever. I don't know who I'm voting for yet. I do know that I'm listening to both candidates and trying to filter out the bull.

NBA basketball is back...

Lakers vs Jazz on October 7 at 7 pm on KCal.

New Job

I got a new job at Amgen!

A picture is worth more than a thousand words

Enough said.

1995 Integra GSR

Here's a picture of my old car's engine bay. I miss that car. If I still have that car, I would actually take off my body kit, wheels, and rise it back up to stock height. It was a fun car to drive. Now, I have a two door version built just like it in Gran Turismo 2.

San Francisco

We went to the Bay Area to visit Gordon with Brian and Maryann over the 4th of July weekend. The trip started in Santa Barbara where we saw the fires in Goleta. Gordon was nice enough to show me places that I haven't been to. We visited the Japanese garden at the Golden Gate Park, Muir Woods in Marin County and Japantown. Of course he didn't forget to take me to my favorite restaurant for wonton noodles.

Last night I went to a theater by UCLA to watch a documentary that was co-produced by my twin sister (she runs reaching to embrace arts). This inspired to update my website. So, I added some of my old artwork that I still have. I'm going to start working on some more pieces and finish a robot that I have built from cardboard. The above logo was an entry and the winner for the "Amgen Summer Chilifest 2008" logo contest. They use that logo on everything (eg, t-shirts, hats, signs, banners, and food booths).

Dos Vientos

Here's a picture of Dos Vientos taken with my mobile phone. My little townhouse is down there somewhere. Its my second ride of the weekend. I went down to Sycamore yesterday with my Motolite. Today, I rode my Monocog around my house. Behind me is Camarillo and a view to the ocean.

E.P.

That's Eloise P. My first real boss or bosslady as we as students refer her to. I worked for Eloise for a couple years during college. She was always there for me when I was confused, lost and unable to comprehend life. Eloise trusted me, enough to the point where I was the contact person for her Cellular Molecular Biology Resource Center while she was out sick for a quarter (~10 weeks). Working there taught me how to deal with people, organization, and how to manage your peers. Why am I posting about her? Well, I want to take this time to thank her for all she's given me as a boss, friend, and as a surrogate mother. She looked out for my best interest and ensure I explore what I want to do in my life.

Chesebro Ride

Michael brought my new bike up from The Path in Irvine and we went for a ride at Chesebro. Before the ride we changed out Michael's rim brakes to a set of disc brakes I had laying around. We also swap his bar and stem from the Enduro to his Monocog.

Here's a few pictures.

Monocog (Michael's) and Monocog Flight (Mine) on Michael's car.
