Birthdays, Farewells and Clinton
I have to say that this has been a very interesting week for me. Besides the major headache I got from having to deal with the visa problems, I got to celebrate my supervisor's birthday on Tuesday. Nobody inform me that … -
Visa Problems

Clinton Shot Back at the Bush Administration

Oktoberfest Weekend 2006
Woohoo! Oktoberfest was da bomb. For these who have been there before, you know what I'm talking about. The beer halls, endless crowds of people (some in traditional Bavarian clothes), the rollercoaster rides and fun hou… -
Does Suri look Asian?
I usually don't follow the news about the ins and outs of celebrity life. It's nice to know when someone has a new baby and all, but to be concerned about every little detail of their lives is too much for me. After all,… -
Cover Flow Rocks
Now I know I might be bias towards Apple products. But I got to say that the cover flow feature on the new iTunes kicks major ass. It's awesome that it downloads the album covers for all the songs in my playlist and I ca… -
Hamburg this Weekend

Apple had done it again
I'm always amazed at how Apple manages to come out time after time with products that are so cool that I want to run out to the Apple Store and buy one. Just when I think they can't do anything to shrink their iPods furt… -
Weekend Comics
LOL, I thought these two were hilarious. First, Garfield...I've never tried that before, I wonder if it works. Then again, I'm usually the one with the chocolate bar and not looking at someone else's. Now, Peanuts... T… -
My iBook Died
Is it just me? Do I ask too much from my iBook? Or has it decided to show it's age? If you're confused, let me explain. For the past week, my iBook has been acting funny. It would randomly freeze on me while in the middl… -
Rain and BBQ Yesterday
I was leaving the lab yesterday to head over to the bbq when I noticed that there were dark clouds in the sky and lightning in the background. Today was the hottest day so far in September and I guess it provided the per… -
3rd Place
Last night was the weekly pop quiz at the Dubliner. We did pretty well for only 5 people in the group and got 3rd place at the end of it. We received a 15 Euro gift card, which we used to buy a round of Tequila shots for… -

IAESTE Dinner 8.22
So about two weeks ago, I hosted a dinner at my place for the local committee in Freiburg. As part of the exchange program in IAESTE, each trainee has to prepare a dinner for the LC and cook something from his/her hom… -
Comparison between WWII and Iraq
Generally, I tried to avoid writing posts about the current Bush Administration because it dumbfounds me at their arrogance in misleading the public into justifying what they are doing. And even more shocking is how easi… -
Bye Bye Weekend
I am amazed at how quickly this weekend passed when I did absolutely nothing the entire time. It felt so good to sleep almost to noon everyday without any worries about having to be somewhere or go see something. After s… -
