How to solve a Rubik's Cube

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 00:34:58 -0600

I finally get myself a Rubik's cube today. I play with it for a while. I take it apart for a couple of times... (we all do that, right?) and then I realize that there's an really easy way to solve the cube. Check out my video below.

Halloween Party: Magic

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 21:09:09 -0600

We finish all the activities we plan to do, but no one wants to go home yet. We just sit and talk and make s'more.

Seriously, it gets boring so I decide to put a cracker on my hand and...

Suddenly everyone starts to follow me asking for more. They yell "cracker cracker!" I don't do more though, since I've done it for 3 times already. (1st time I do it to my friend, 2nd time I do it to my other friends, and 3rd time I do it because my friend wants to take a photo... and this is the only picture she has )

Look at the two girls, I just love their reaction!

Halloween Party: VDO

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 17:18:10 -0600

I went to the party late so there wasn't much food for me to eat, but the party's still fun.

We did all kind stuff - pumpkin carving, apple bobbing, hotdog roast, s'more, etc.

Below is the VDO from pumpkin carving competition

And this is what happened after her group got the "ugliest pumpkin award"

hahahaha She becomes the Lorax...

"I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.
And I´m asking you, sir, at the top of my lungs--
he was very upset as he shouted and puffed--"

Halloween Party: Pumpkin Carving Competition

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 23:32:07 -0500

Event: International Potluck Party 10/21/06

What will happen if you're in a 5 minutes pumpkin carving competition but you (and your teammate) don't know how to carve a pumpkin?

Well, this is the answer. Hahahaha ^_^"

You think this is the ugliest carved pumpkin you've ever seen, right?

Wait wait wait...
Unfortunately, it's not, because the "ugliest award" goes to...

this one...

Since we miss the "ugliest award", we hope for the "most creative award" and the "most popular award."

The most popular award goes to...

(OK, I admit. This one looks better than mine!)

Too bad! It turns out that we don't get any award even though our pumpkin has two hands (or wings?).

Mr. P [[ One Man Shy ]]

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 23:57:02 -0500

I first found this lamp in a Propaganda shop when I went back to Thailand 2-3 years ago. The lamp is still really popular in Thailand and many other countries in Asia and Europe. If you are in North America and you would like to have one, you'll need a transformer and a relacement lightbulb.

Mr. P "One Man Shy" is a lamp with a shape of a cartoon naked man, standing straight, hands on the back of his hip, looking unhappy as if he is not very proud of his anatomy. He's really shy so he wears a shade on his head. This lamp, designed by Propaganda in Thailand, is a classic.

Here's the important part... to turns him on and off, you have to flick his “thing.”'

Brilliant Toyota Commercial

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 16:12:29 -0500

This commercial is called "Human Touch." It shows us how actual human beings are involved in all of the Toyota features.

I think this is a very creative, funny, and unique advertisement. Although, it's a little too creepy for me...

LOL

Potato Casserole

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 12:25:02 -0500

I bought a big bag of potato and I'm tired of fried potato. So, the easisest way to get rid of all the potato is to make a casserole.

First, chop and put potato in slow cooker.
Add sliced onion, green pepper, red pepper, and yellow pepper. Then mixed all the ingredients.

Then add a can of cream of mushroom (or cream of chicken) soup. I don't know which one I add. Add some sourcream. (I just add it as much as I want)

Then top with cheese... lot of cheese
(I run of cheese, so I'll put some more when the casserole is almost done)

Finally, close the rid, turn the heat on to high, and wait for around 6 hrs.

Mathematics: The Twins

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 15:32:37 -0500

2 = 1 ???

Confusing?

Figure it out yet? Keep reading for an explanation!

hehe... here's an explanation

From line #4
(a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b)

If a = b, then (a-b) = 0

So now we have
(a+b)x0 = bx0

Therefore, in line #5 we cannot divide both sides by (a-b)

(can't divide by 0)

This equation should end in line #4
and we have 0 = 0

Another Best Honda Commercial (The Cog)

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 10:13:06 -0500

This one is a few years back (2003?). But since Onigiri mentioned it, I'll put it here hehe

The film took 606 takes. There were no computer graphics or animated tricks used in this production. Every complex event took place in a single, uninterrupted two-minute sequence. Really impressive ads!

The Best Honda Commercial Ever

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 10:13:16 -0500

This is really cool commercial. All the sound effects were made by the human chorus in this ads.

Riany, windy, and freezy !

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 15:34:28 -0500

It's raining outside. It's also really windy and freeeeeeezy. Usually, I like the cold but maybe not when it's raining.

Well, I went to school this morning, wearing jeans and flip flops. On the way to class... it's OK nothing happened. On the way back... nothing happened too... hahaha. It just... my jeans were so heavy and my feet couldn't feel anything.

Bad choice of clothing today

...

Now I'm in my room, heating some snack in microwave... suddenly everywhere is dark (i.e. "blackout").

The worst part... there only just 4-5 rooms that have blackout. I can still hear my neighbor heating some food in his microwave.

The funnies part... my suit mate is still in the bathroom enjoy her showering...

The stupidest part... I burn my homemade candle and the candle is just melt and goes everywhere on the table. The candle is really big (bigger than a beer glass). So, I don't expect this to happen at all (hey, I'm serious).

Spamland

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 22:26:59 -0500

"The dialogue for Spamland comes from the semi-sensical text found in the filter-busting portion of spam messages."

Honestly, I don't get it... maybe my english is too bad... LOL
Anyway, after I read the note below, it kinda makes more sense.

Note: The swine that bombard us with spam has found a way to stop spam blockers... They generate sentences of miscellaneous words that would cause spam blockers to block all email if they were to stop them and put them in the subject line. That way they slide past the spam filters. The joke is that this uses the 'dialogue' from these spam mails. So it's not supposed to make any sense.

Nokia Aeon: New concept phone

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 10:08:18 -0500

Developed by Nokia's research and development team, Nokia Aeon phone is the most futuristic cellphone I've seen so far. So thin... so colorful...

look at the fullscreen design with toughscreen display... woo!

When will it come out? ... um, I don't know but I'm sure I'd like to have one of these

Anyway, for now, I still like my pink RAZR hehehe

Fork Bending

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 04:49:04 -0500

The shadow: Ghost Vision

noreply@blogger.com (akina) — Sun, 15 Oct 2006 16:51:54 -0500

I afraid to post this here becuase it's really spooky. Halloween is coming and my friends and I saw a shadow in our study room.

The first time, we did't care. The second time, we wondered. The third time, we believed.

It happened when we almost finished our dinner. (The guy who's afraid of me also eating with us. Read the last post if you don't know what I'm talking about). Anyway, someone pulled out a camera phone, took a picure and... we all saw a shadow!

No one cared about it. It's just a shadow, so what? Then I aimed my camera phone at the same spot, and we all saw the shadow passing by.

...

We were there for more than two hours trying to find an explaination. We tried to take the picture with other camera phone and we all saw the shadow almost every time!

We used three differents camera phones to take pictures... The shadow flew in the picture everytime!

Then my friend (a guy, from last post) linked me to the shadow. He said "since I have supernatural power, maybe that's the reason why I can take such a picture."

umm... I'm afraid of ghost. Why the **** would I ask it to come?

Anyway, the pics above are from my camera. The place is at my dorm's study room. Really freaky! I and my friends all agree to delete the pictures out of our camera phones. But for these pictures, I secretly keep them just for posting on the blog. shhhh! no one knows that I still have the pics.
