Yeah, finals are comin up... No more slacking off, especially in chem
Probably gonna be my last post for a while. Not that i've been posting recently, but perhaps even less than before. Good stuff.
OOH!!! Got an airsoft gun. AWESOMESAUCE. Shoots pretty hard, but the hopup's kinda strong. Not even kinda. Quite strong. Ah whatever, i'll just get used to aiming low. Got it from amazon, so wasn't expecting too much, but it totally rocks! Haha i like. lots of like.
Finals! not so excited for them, but gotta have them to raise ma chem grade.
Lets see, what finals are important...
1st - chinese - semi-important, can't completely fail
2nd - PE - lol. final? chance of getting a B? lol.
3rd - orchestra - WHAT FINAL?
4th - history - w8 i have a 98 before she added extra credit? ooh awesome :P
5th - math - STUDY TIME. "study time" need to do moderately well. better than others.
6th - chemistry - uh oh... need to do well. like almost ACE it. good luck to me...
7th - world lit - nope. no "final". no need to prep...
so 2.5 finals outta 7? not too bad...
Alrite back to studying for chemistry...

Frozen Yogurt Places in Cupertino
I've promised that I would write this for a long time, and ive got no homework today, so :]
Hmm. Ill rank them first
and maybe add a little snippet of why i think it belongs there
1. OrangeTree
Awesome yogurt, best selection of toppings ever.
Its also only 30 cents per ounce, which is hella cheap :P
I love their store's decorations too. Hella awesomesauce
2. Tartini's
I think Tartini's has the best yogurt, because it isn't too creamy or too watery
Not that many toppings, and the place looks kinda old-fashioned compared to OrangeTree
3. Yogurtland
Boring flavors, decent yogurt, not that many toppings
The people that work there are kinda hot, but thats about it.
At least you can choose your own yogurt.
4. Red Mango
The yogurt tastes pretty plain, and there are no toppings. Maybe like 5ish
Also expensive, and totally not worth it
5. I <3 Yogurt
The yogurt actually tastes bad here, and i don't like their toppings
Not self-serve either, so...
Yay i <3 orangetree :]

New Stuff!!!
Wow i seriously need to get back to blogging, at least way more often
So, whats new?
Headphones!!! :) yay I'm really happy cuz they are hella hella nice.
maybe ill post a picture, but they're just that frickin awesome.
Awesome trebles, awesome mids, awesome lows. But no head-shakin bass.
Ah well, real music sounds hella good on these :]
Webcam
I got a pretty basic one, and haven't really used it, but hey, I can video chat now
no more lame excuse for voice chat or regular chat
I'm grateful, and frickin happy, but i guess i still want some things
I dun like the word want... Ah I might get these things, but only if im really really bored and rich
New Seat
WTB Speed V Progel
Pranav's old seat that he wanted. Not anymore, cuz hes always in all black, so the blue part of the progel wouldn't work out too much. Me on the other hand, I has a blue backpack, so its AWESOME!!! :P and cushy.
I think theres other stuff, but after borrowing Pranav's G7, i don't think most of it is really necessary

Housekeeping
I might have used that title before, but thats prolly cause i never keep up with my blog. Life is sucky rite nao, but I guess that just makes me wanna blog more.
Things I Want (and price):
Webcam - 40ish?
Headphones - either 16 or 120 (depending on noise-canceling or not)
Mouse? its okay, but i kinda want one (25ish)
K nao about my life.
OOHH the 4670 is beast. 200+ fps on full settings on the top half of tf2, then 4x anti-aliasing and antitropic filtering and vertical sync. All that jazz, and the 4670 still puts out frickin 200ish fps. WOW im hella impressed that a 25ish dollar card can do so much. The rebate is in the mail already, so the price is actually 27 total. Awesomeness. Only in terms of gaming tho. My parents are being kinda pissy, but whatever, not like i talk to them that much. As long as ma friends aren't all pmssing at once, my life shall be fine. Note that most of my friends are guys...so the PMSsing part is prolly just a metaphor. What else? I dunno, choirs fun but it takes too much frickin time, bikings awesome but theres a range of times and places i can bike, and I DUNNO, school just blows rite nao. Ah whatever, spring break is next week. PPL, we NEED IDEAS. Biking trips, college visitation trips, whatever, stuff like that.

Life...
Life is decent? Ah its great, at least for me rite nao. I'm playin Tf2 with a buncha ppl, which is awesome, and its a really really fun (and addicting) game. I should probably play a little less, but hey, almost straight A's rite? No problem. I've actually been listening to my Sansa too. Bass is less that satisfactory, but so is audio quality, so I don't really pay too much attention.
ARGH! Headphones... sadface
Dunno which ones to get
haha whatever, not like i really really need them
Now to Vincent:
Bsod w/ psu means that its either RAM, tho if you've been keeping track, you should have been able to tell, or its your motherboard. This info would be comin from ppl who actually know how comps work, and know how to build them... Just sayin :P
Note that i said that life was decent. Tru, but I'm bored as hell. BORED!!!

HEY I HAVE AN IDEA!!!
I'll copy off maiko, and comment on my laptop.
Inspiron 1420, January 2008:
Note that i added the date, cause like 2 weeks after i ordered, the nvidia graphics card "mysteriously" disappeared from their website. Sux for u slowpokes. Anyways...
I mite add a pic, but its so universal that its pointless.
Nvidia GeForce 8400 M GS (LAST OF ITS KIND ON AN INSPIRON!!!)
120 Gb HDD (HAHA LOL WAT A JOKE)
SEXY SILENT KEYBOARD (NO COMMENT NECESSARY)
No webcam, fingerprint reader (IMA CHILL WITH BOTH MISSING)
1280 * 800 res, matte finish FTW PPL
K, it may look shitty, until i list the price :P
ALL FOR $380!!! NOT BAD EH?
It was originally a 1200 dollar laptop, then a 1/3 discount, then a 100 dollar stackable, then refunded service plan :P!!!
VERY SEXY
Crysis Warhead: Medium all, 1024 * 768 i think, the one that sounds like that, except mebbe in 16:10. Wat else? Oh lol fps. Well, I'm not sure, but I'm guessing around 45ish, cause theres no visible lag, even in intense firefights :) fps spoiled like pranav, and graphics okay cause of my res
Burnout Paradise: Either this game's optimization sux more than melissa (haha jk), or my video card suddenly downgraded to a [insert Pranav's vaio's graphix card] mobile edition. Srly, low settings i get playable, no lag whatsoever, but medium and i get lag in intense scenes, like takedowns and races, among others. THIS GAME IS AWESOME, but poorly optimized
Civilization 4: I play, but its not all that addicting. Full settings, and no lag; cept mebbe in those weird like "u invented sumthin new" scenes. Otherwise quite nice
Madden 2008: LOL lagging on this game? only on MY powersaving mode. Cough 10 % cpu, max pcie slot power savings cough. Anyways, its nice, runs smoothly, nothing too fancy tho.
I think I'm done, back to studying for chem and lookin up possible video cards or psu's

Computer Upgrading :P
As I said earlier, I likes my bike... a lot. So no more upgradin that, cause ima content with my bike. So... What to save up for now? Hmm... Lets look at the title :) My Vostro mebbe? Ya... Quad-core matched with a underclocked 3450 - totally matching parts. I've got a 300 dollar budget, tho im trying to stay under 200, or 150, or 100. Well, im azn; what can I say...
So, things to upgrade:
Graphics Card:
Ya 3450 sux pretty badly... So I'm thinking of replacing it
Options:
Sub-$100 : 9800 GT
Sub-$150 : 9800 GTX+
Sub-$200 : GTX 260
Of course, Im also a tree-hugger, hence the no ATI graphix cards, so the 9800 GT is quite appealing rite nao. Obviously, all my friends are encouraging me to get the GTX 260, or even the 280, but those take helluva loads of power. I'm still debating, and will be for the next...5ish months? I mean, i only have the break in april to game, but other than that, no gaming till after i come back from Taiwan.
Power Supply:
Since I'm getting a new graphics card, I think I should also get a new power supply. My current one is like way worse than Vincent's, and hes running a single core and a 9500. I think my comp would take maybe? just a bit more power. Key word there btw... "bit" more power :P So, I'm considering a bunch of them, from the corsair ones to the antec ones to the ocz ones. All I really need is a 400 W legit power supply, and around 30 combined amps on the 2+ 12V rails. Lots of specs i suppose, but the price range for my specs is around 40. Not too shabby :)
I think I'm done for nao. Back to poetry and tryin to find out wtf meter does for a poem!
Edit: I'll post cards over break, and ask ppl for their opinion :) I think i can deal with psu's myself :P Nao i rly gotta do hw

Adventures of...Oh rite its cupertino
We biked to Central Computers today
Vincent got his motherboard...
What a liar those pplz are
Advertised prices were nonexistant
anyways...
We also went to Circuit City, where Pranav got his graphing calculator in a scientific calculator without the graphing part.... Hope that made some sense. :P
Lets see...
Ima lookin up headphones
Not audiophile ones, but just comfortable ones with decent sound quality for games and movies.
What else?
Vincent needs to build his comp...I think were all failing at the moment. His budget makes crap hard, but I think its doable...just ordering online is like risky as hell. This effin blows... Its like trying to figure urself a way out of a maze without knowing where the finish is...wtf?
Good thing we ditched Jason today...
I mean srly...dangerous streets + noob biker with no concern for safety?
YA PHAIL!!!
k i gotta go back to hw nao

Pearl Milk Tea!!! YUM :P
Since I love PMT and i'm really hypocritical
i think ill rank the nearby pmt stores
so far:
1. Fantasia (its not actually that near tho)
2. Tapioca Express (more authentic, less sugar, not for bai ren)
3. Quickly's (this one is for bai ren who need lots of sugar)
4. The other azn store near the library...only know the chinese name...and it tastes like crap
5. Time to go try out new stores...Q-cup (maiko needs to take me), and others
Ill write in depth reviews some other time
