The mysterious bruise or so called ecchymosis. This has cropped up on my right upper arm, i wonder where i got this? hmm...

The Great Ipod of Silicon Valley.

I just got back from pass yesterday and i did something really stupid. I put my shorts in the washer and forgot to take out my ipod that i was listening to on the rough plane ride home. Well i was sad about that today, it was all wet. I could see splodges of water on it. It even went through the dryer as well. Below are pics of it at 8:30pm. I has put it in the dryer around 9am.

I decided to turned it on fully expecting it not to work and to my amazement it works!! all my songs are still there, even the headphones still work!. I am just hoping the water on the screen dries in the next couple days and the ipod will be as good as new. This ipod truly has gone where no other ipod has...into the watery depths of the cavernous washing machine. dun dun dun...drum roll please =).

Saying good bye to home once again =(.

I have only been home for a week and now its time to pack up and head out already. Chicago awaits me, and one long month of hardcore studying is calling my name. I will leave you with a picture of the San mateo bridge, which is about 7 miles long. I took this down the road from my house. I am loving this 10x zoom =) (Click the image to make it bigger)

Wikipedia's article on the bridge

Starting the P.A.S.S. PROGRAM in Chicago, leaving tomorrow!

The new slogan on northern California highways amber alert signal. It took me a minute to figure out what they intended.

I will be leaving for the pass program in Chicago tomorrow. I will give a brief review and will have updates as the program progresses. I know there are not many places reviewing pass, i am taking it upon myself to be one of the first. I like to take on noble tasks =)

Meanwhile enjoy this pic of a California motorist i snapped while on I880. They were very creative in blocking out the sunlight.

Some nice corn fields a few miles east of San Jose, California.

Some homes near Fremont Hills. I really missed the east bay hills.

My dinner at the Radisson Hotel Miami

I ate the only chicken dish on the menu. It was something like chicken niceice, needless to say i mispronounced it when the waiter came over. It was quite good actually, a little on the expensive side at $20 a plate. But i had a $10 voucher and i didn't feel like eating a turkey sandwich that evening.

As soon a i took the pic below i formulated a title for it on the stop. Can you guess what it was?

Thats right, is the glass full? or half empty? =)

WELCOME TO MIAMI

I am stuck in Miami because my plane waited outside the docking gate for 1.5hrs. As a result of that delay and lightning caused my bags to come out late. I missed my AA flight to SFO. AA gave me 2 night stay at the Radisson now with breakfast, lunch and dinner included. Also transport to and from the airport. I guess its little consolation to being home but oh well.

I got to my room which is on the 10th floor in downtown Miami. The view is really quite amazing. I will be posting more pics as i get time. But theres is my room and night time and in the day. There is a lot of water surrounding the Miami area. More than i knew about. I will be here for two nights and apparently this is a $530/night room. I bet AA has a deal with Radisson somehow heh. I am heading off to eat my free lunch soon. Lets see how it turns out.

A nice apt building thats being made for some high rollers near AUC. The apts were priced from starting $200K --1.3Mil. I bet some celebs snagged some properties . =)

THE DRAMATIC LOOK!

STAR WARS ROBOT CHICKEN !! This clip is hilarious. The voice cast also includes Conan O'Brien, Seth MacFarlane and Hulk Hogan.

Happy birthday to my Sister who turns 21 today! The big two one. Have a great day today sis.

Its the weekend now, TGIW. And really there is nothing much going on school wise. Trying to get as much Goljan done as possible before i head down to the pass program. I heard back from a friend who just took the program at Chicago and he said it was awesome! Which is good news, since many people have varied opinions about it.

It seems to me that pass works best for people who can pick up stuff up right away in class, rather than sitting and memorizing mass amount of info. I will keep a update of the program when i get down to Chicago. And i checked the weather its in the high 80s and low 90s there now!! When will i get away from all this hot weather! oh how i long for the the upper 60 low 70s of home. Nice cool breeze all the time, its awesome the bay area is the place to live =).

On a different note i have been taking a lot of pictures around school and using my zoom function alot. Take a look at some of the pics below. Its really amazing how far i am standing and the zoomed shots still come clear. I am really happy with this camera. Btw, i didn't mention that when i bought it i checked bhoolchands and Klass electronics. Bhoolchands wouldn't budge on the price so i went to class and they wouldn't budge either. But after a little persuasion i got the price i wanted with a 2gb SD card. In fact you really do need 2GB+ card for these high mp camera because they do take a lot memory. Each picture is about 3-4MB and that adds up really fast =)

A nice shot of the right side of the droms @ AUC

A 10X zoomed shot from the same spot as the first pic.

Same spot as the first pic 10x zoom.

These pictures are straight out of the camera, no editing, no photoshop =).

ok thats all for now, take care.

The opera guy from england makes the semi finals!

Alrighty then, so i just got this new handy dandy camera with this nice super powerful zoom in a compact case. I took some pics around school today, ya prob looking like a tourist but i don't care =). So i took the first picture at 1x into the ocean. You can see a small white spec which you can't really make out. Then i zoomed in at full 10x optical zoom and guess what? you can see that its a boat. I really love the zoom function in this camera its so totally awesome! Check out the pics below let me know what you think. Assuming anyone is reading this blog

The kid with no jaw!

The prisioner of the jeep parked at campus villiage. I was walking by campus village and i noticed a bunch of cats all over this white jeep. It kinda looks abandoned. I guess the owner just left it here to rot. Well it seems that the cats have taken it over and made it their prime time hangout. As i got closer to the jeep most of the cats ran, but there was one, one cat that stood up, stood up to challenge me and my new Panasonic lumnix TZ3 camera!

So i started snapping and the cat started to pose for the camera! lol. So i am gonna make this cat famous now. Behold the cat that is not camera shy. Looking straight into the camera, fearless and confident. I guess the cats have no fear since Schezshwan closed. (The rumor was that they may have been using cat meat in their dishes, there may have been some merit to that rumor since there has been an increase in the cat population in the area.)

These pics were taken with my new Camera. My panasonic Lumnix TZ3. 7.2MP 10X optical zoom. Oh yeah!

My Camera!

A talent show in England. A regular guy sings opera..and crowd goes crazy!

Here are some cool parodies of popular songs, enjoy.

Jimmy Kimmel is a genius he should get an Emmmy for what he did on his show! the crazy kid that won the spelling bee + jimmy kimmel = genius

I modded my Wii a couple months back...i thought i would share some pics with you. On a more serious note I have started to go over some Goljan audio review with the notes. Switching up gears a little before i start pass at Chicago. Goljan does a really good job at integrating all the material we have plundered in medical school. He does it so well its like your "seeing the matrix". =)

I am planning on doing about 2 hrs of audio a day with some review questions at the end of the day to supplement my learning with some real time feedback from the questions. Thats all for now, check out the pics.

Learn how to multiply any two numbers!! i am talking any...check out the video.

Wow, what is going on with todays youth?

"I DONT LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND NO WAY NO WAY I THINK YOU NEED A NEW ONE"

Nows thats a little disturbing...what ever happened to the whole some goodness of the 80s?

Lol, this video has been making the rounds over the internet, but this version has a street fighter twist to it! go ahead indulge yourself.

Well, well, well look who it is...It seems Paris is finally in jail! This is good news indeed, maybe she can change her old ways and become a reformed citizen. Yeah, i highly doubt that, i read somewhere that she is thinking about writing a book about he jail life.

It seems as soon as you get a little famous doing anything will make you money. But for the rest of us non-famous folk we have to study or work to earn our bread.

Maybe Paris should thinking about starting a clothing line and call it her summer "Zebra collection". haha...i am too funny, ok as for school i am still on biochem and going to be finished to day with all the pathways, then its onto Physiology which should be interesting. Alrighty then over and out from SXM.

Oops i almost forgot to add a video hehe. If you watch hindi moves, or if you don't watch this trailor for dhoom 2. You will love this move!!

Its June 3rd and I have been done with the biochem videos for pass for about 2 days now. I am reviewing all my notes and its taking a heck of a long time. Right now i am on collagen and guess what? They broke it down very nicely:

S) TYPE I - Skin and Bone

C) TYPE II - Connective tissue

A) TYPE III - Arteries

B) TYPE IV - Basement membrane

That acronym SCAB would have saved me a a couple hours in path and got me some easy points on Dr.L's tests. But oh well good thing i know it now. The weather as cleared up a bit here, the sun is out and the dull clouds have drifted away! I wish fall would come sooner so i can watch new episodes of office again. I really like that show, its in fact got better and better has the seasons went on. I will leave you with a clip of the office, so if you haven't started watching office, i say you head on over to your tv links site and start!

Later!

Fergie Glamorous- My favorite song for this week! Check it out! Nothing much going on here at SXM. Its really couldy outside no sunshine in sight =(. But i guess that good for two things 1)studying or 2) playing some wii...Which do you think im picking?? haha
