I volunteered this morning at an Engineering Girls Camp for 7th graders. Out of all the groups, there was a small little Viet girl who reminded me of myself when I was younger. I basically helped the girls attach tails to their model airplanes so that we can fly them later this week. It's supposed to help interest girls in engineering and technology so that in the future, there will be more women in the field. Out of my department of 12, I am one of two women. Plus I'm Asian, so I'm a minority all over since everyone else in my department is Caucasian. Sooo if you like taking things apart and putting them back together or are good at math/science/physics/problem solving... be an engineer like me!! We're the cool nerds.

Anyway, all the other little girls randomly placed mismatched stickers all over their planes with no theme. But that one little Viet girl meticulously designed a mural on the sides of her plane so all the other little girls Ooohed and Ahhed. Definitely a mini-me, although she is much cuter than I ever was and she's pretty badass with the glue gun.

Hehe, enough. I get to help them fly their planes later!!! I'm excited! I love working with kids. Anyway... aside from my busy schedule, I finally FINISHED MY PICTURES SITE!!!!

I still have to add some skins so that people who dislike pink can choose something else. But there you have it. EVERY picture (almost) that I've taken since I first got a digital camera can be found there with a brief (rarely updated) blog of some randomness. There is a calendar style designed in html/php and there is a script style that you can get to here:

Both designs are REALLY simple. I wanted to let the pictures speak for themselves, so I didn't focus too much on graphics. I am the documenter out of all my friends, meaning I am a camera whore and I make them pose and freeze for the lens. My Fujifilm Z5 goes everywhere with me and it will follow me camping this weekend! Let me know what you think of the sites!

This September, it will be two years since D intoxicatingly walked into my life at my favorite bar. "Intoxicatingly" being a euphemism for drunkedly if you didn't know the story. We're a couple of club hoppers at heart, meaning, we don't typically slow dance and any song that I remotely think could be "ours" has a hip hop/house/trance beat and a few lines of lyrics that appear to be inspired by love. Or by the urge to make it. Either or. When Master P says "uhhh", that's love right?

Time out for some beats. "Unh tiss unh tiss. REEEMMMIIIXXXX. Unnh unh tiss." Thanks, I'm done.

Since we live at the dance clubs, there was never really an established song that we, you know, could slow-dance to unless you consider bump & grind in the center of the dance floor to be a trancer's & hip hopper's interpretation of romantic slow-dance. I do, but I also believe that free giveaway tape measures are cool, so I'm not sure if my declarations of anything are valid.

Until this week, I realized that whenever I am in the car with D, the song, "You and Me" by Lifehouse drowns his company pseudo-van. Well... he frequently forgets to switch up the CD, but I'm just going to ignore that.

It's settled, we have a song!

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive...
What do normal couples consider their songs?? Well, you singles too... I had songs when I was single. They usually had to do with anti-men. Ahh, those were the days.

I hope everyone enjoyed your father's day weekends. I haven't seen my father in years so it's no big deal to me really. I think the last time I saw him, I was 15? Single mothers seem to be completely normal now. I hate when people with both parents take any of them for granted. "My dad didn't get me the expensive Playstation game that I wanted. My mom didn't bake 50 cupcakes last night for me" "WAHH WAHHH WAHHH!" Anyway, my mom played every role in my life and on Father's Day, I usually just appreciate her a little more. Props to all the single mothers out there. You have the toughest job in the world.

I called my father Sunday morning and wished him well after I woke up. Our conversations are brief, but nice. It kind of makes me feel as if he is pseudo-there. Then, I called my boyfriend's dad who is out in California for a little R&R. You could definitely feel the presense of some holiday over the weekend since all the hot spots were pretty mellow.

Han had a VIP birthday (26!) party at Monte's on Saturday at my favorite bar. Here are some photos:








That last pic is of the crazy woman at the bar who got up on all my friends, including D, because she was looking for revenge-sex after her husband cheated on her.

Then on Sunday, I laid out on the beach with my favorites and we hosted a mini-cookout at D's place. I should have been studying, but I was pretty A.D.D. and dealing with some of the emotional stresses of the weekend--just one of those weekends, you know? Anyways, we had the boys on the food:




Good weekend. The end!

Apparently, if you look up "Tila Nguyen's chest size", "angry asian woman", "young asian school whores", "stripboys", "why men don't commit to relationships", or the "sony t10 pink camera", my website comes up.

See Key Phrases 1



That was one of my logs for keyphrases that people use to get to so-uneek.com. That is one eclectic list of phrases. I think now I will diversify and start throwing in random blogs about how to milk cows (not that I know how), the approximate circumference of the Earth (FYI, it's 24,900 miles), or maybe even about time travel (because I am a frequent flyer time traveler). Go me.

Anyway, the pictures site is coming along so I'll probably launch it by the end of June. It's pretty simple so that the pictures aren't bothered by a busy design. It's just taking awhile because I have about 7,000 images linked to my flickr account that I will be putting on the site. Yeeaaaahhh. Thank whoever for inventing the digital camera. They make whoring yourself much easier than in the good old days. !

You would probably imagine engineers to be high tech gadget freaks who LOVE to rig up fancy home devices to help them get dressed or make their breakfast in the morning.

Don't look at this girl. I get into software and gadgets too, but sometimes, I'm so behind on the times. Example, I have a dishwasher. It isn't the best, but it gets the job done. I didn't use it until about a month ago. *GASP* The engineering gods are going to come after me with a big protractor!

Seriously. I NEVER used them. I grew up without one and my Asian family would prefer washing dishes by hand because it's "cleaner". My family is from the third world-- machines schmachines!!! Forget that it saves oodles of precious time. Nope. Wash by hand. In fact, my mother has one now and she uses it as a drying rack... extra storage space is good! That's how I used mine until one day, my boyfriend showed me how EASY it is to turn one on and forget it. What a time saver. Granted, I think the water efficiency isn't all that great and it doesn't always remove the stubborn crap, but it gives me extra time each week to do something not so useful with my life.

So there you have it. I have now jumped onto the dishwasher bandwagon. Aren't you proud? Now if only I had a laundry folding machine. Jeez... I still hand code everything!
