Face change

I came across this webpage during work

http://morph.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/transformer/

The site is about Transfering your face into different age, race, and whatever.

So I thought I gave it a try.

Here's what I looked like when I am a baby:

That is one ugly babay. If my baby smile like that I would throw him into orphanage fater then Benjimen Button.

Here's what I would look like if I am white:

Not too bad. Maybe I should put that on my ID. LOL.

Heres what I would look like if I am a manga character: Mm. I looked like sailor moon gone drag.

Heres what I would look like if i was born before B.C:

I would of be a fine ass monkey.

Shopping Trip: Abercrombie service=dumb blond men, Bose music system=imagitive luxury

I went to Valley Fair (San Jose) yesterday for two things: 1)To ask about a sweater I really want which is sold out both online & store. 2)Help my mom to buy a house warming present for her friend.

1st stop: Abercrombie

I was complaining the other day to my friend how nothing I wanted is in store, so my friend suggested me to ask the MANAGER to contact the other store to see if they have it. DOESNT seem like a unreasonable request right? So I walked into A&F, its a tues afternoon so it took me forever to find someone in an empty, darm, and loud music store. After I exaplined the situation, the employee quickly asked for the MANAGER. The manager gave me a puzzled look like "why the hell are you so desperate for a sweater" (which even if I am, its non of his fucking business) and said he can check the other store for me, and went to the back. 10 mintues later, the manager walked out of the backroom and saw me standing there. He paused for a moment and was like "Oh right!" and went into the back again. APPARENTLY HE FORGOT. So after 5 mintues he got the number. He started calling. And I guess the other manager @ El Camino is his friend or something, he started CHATTING for 5 mintues before he started asking about the sweater. After like a minute he was like "oh they dont have it." and CHATTED for another 5 mintues. so when he hung up the phone I was like "isn't any way you can check the OTHER stores for inventory?" he was like "hmm I dunno how to...I dont have any other numbers beside El camino...You can also call 411 and ask" WTF, why would I need to come all the way down here if I can just call 411 and figure out the number myself? And he continudes "Or i can call for you, just might take a while...yea" AND HE LEFT AGAIN.

Fuck A&F and its dumb blond manager. oh well I guess i will still buy their clothes.

2nd stop: Bose

My mom's friend really wanted a Bose sound system (no idea why, she saw my mom bought one and really wanted one too). So now my mom ordered me to go buy one and install one @ her house. Its my first time actually, everything is SO expensive. Example? Well this is what my mom tell me to bought: Bose Sound Wave System. It has ONE CD changer, Mp3 playabe, FM/AM and Alarm. This kind of basic features on a radio now a day if its $100USD would already being pretty good. Guess what? its $499USD! When I saw it I was like holy shit!

With my baby face and all, no one come to serve me. Basically in this store only old electronic dummbie would get excellent service. However they have no idea I am already a destine buyer. So finally an employee with no smile came by and help me. I thought just simply saying "I am going to buy it" seems to easy for him. So I ask the most simple question: "What is the spec for this music system?" He said the below sentence with a proud attitude:

" In bose we do not show those frequency number. Thats for the technicians. We want our customer to be able to enjoy the true beauty and class of our system."

I seriously paused for a moment, and could not believe the next thing I say was "okey I am buying it."

I guess he would use my case as a sucuessful sales example and teach other employee to use that sentence.

Hardcore dieting hajimaru. Not just the girly diet, but serious cut back on my carbs and sugar intake. Not going back to my junior high look again. (for those of you don't know, I used to have long hair, 185 pounds, pure fat)

Now I am 172 pounds, 14% fat. need to cut down to 10%.

Goodbye yougurt and ice cream. I will miss you guys.

Movie: The Wrestler: Lonley famousED

The movie, The Wrestler, describe how an old wrestling superstar still trying to seek for love in his life. Its kind of sad, actually, that a guy had all the fame and attention in his peak of life, and in his later stage he has nothing. However the guy never gives up, still trying to seek love from a old strippers, lesbian daughter he ditched million years ago and local unpopular wrestling stadium . I have to say the plot touched me a bit. The guy never wants give up on all three of his love: family, career, and lover. However in the end, he ended up dying.

It got me wonder what should we invest in our life. When we graduate and became working individuals, our career basically defines who we are. "This is Chris grduated X college, now he is working for Y company, he has made Z happened for the company." Yet will X, Y, Z come to the hospital to see you when had an emergency? Lovers. Yea, all the flirting, attention, sex is fun. Yet how long does it last? Are we able to be like old stripper still pretending we are 20 years old gripping that medal pole and shake our ass? Family. They grow old, have their own life, and you have to let go.

Sad. stuff you invest to will always leave you.
