Back in the states, dead tired, and on a crappy computer... with no time left. See yall later today.

Current financial crisis triggered the world to seek a new paradigm such as inter/intra-regionalization, in which international or inter-regional standardization is recognized as one of the key factors to drive and to boost the real economy in the new paradigm.

To confirm (or deny) any rumors that may be circling around, yes, I will be in Arizona for Christmas/New Year's. My tentative itinerary has me landing in Phoenix on the 15th of December and leaving, also from Phoenix on the 8th of January. That means I have approximately 3 weeks stateside ( Read more... )

Well now. It has been a while since I last post, hasn't it? I hope you all have had a wonderful summer break over there, and I'm thrilled to finally announce that mine's just starting.

And then I'll be able to pay you all ( Read more... )

Phone is down until further notice. Please contact me by email, IM, or by commenting on here for now. :3

No, there's nothing wrong; in fact, I like it better that way. :) Of course, you can all still contact me by email or instant message (as I'll try to be on a bit more now that school is over). This is in no way permanent, as I know that I'm going to ( Read more... )

I have got to be THE stupidest person sometimes.

Really busy, but I just thought I'd update that it never fails to surprise me that almost all of the commercials I ever like during the Superbowl are beer commercials. Why is that? What does that say about me that I am entertained at commercials geared towards the lowest levels of intelligence in the nation? Dunno, but I have to write about fifty ( Read more... )
