Really planning ahead
I used to think that a Century Egg was actually an egg preserved by people from a hundred years ago just so their descendants can eat it.

Things I don't do for stupid reasons
Short post:
Through the course of my day, I generally group activities into two categories: things that must be done and everything else. Things that must be done include job duties, washing dishes, other chores, eating, etc. These things I will always do. Everything else, on the other hand, is optional, such as reading, studying for something, or deleting old emails. These things don't have to get done, and may actually never ever get done at all.
Here are two things that I don't do, for stupid reasons.
1) I don't drink much water at work. Reason: The water cooler is in another room. Drinking six cups of water at work requires a total of twelve trips. I eventually brought a gallon jug that I can refill to reduce the number of trips. However, when I try to fill up that jug, I only go up to about one-fourth of it. Because completely filling it takes too long. God, I'm thirsty...
2) I don't go to my backyard. Reason: The flip flops at the door to my backyard are too small for my feet, and my personal flip flops are at the front door. I finally took the initiative last week to bring my flip flops to the back and traverse outside, only to discover a fifteen feet tall papaya tree. That tree sure as hell wasn't around when we moved in, and it sure as hell wasn't around the last time I went to the backyard. When did that get there...?
I'm too lazy...

Makeup
What is it about eye shadow and eye liner that makes a lady's eyes so attractive? And why am I so drawn to them?

About myself
I was asking myself today about who I am and what my goals are. As a writing exercise, I'm writing my short answer here.
Back in the old days, life was simple. Sure, we all have different upbringings and circumstances, but our parents pretty much laid out the same path for us: do well in school, go to college, graduate, ???, the end.
But after having graduated, our paths are no longer well defined. Opportunities appear that can take us in all sorts of directions. Some people know their direction in life and choose a path to follow. Some people are unsure and traverse many paths until they find the right one.
Others just kind of stand still, hesitant to move forward.
At this point in my life, I feel that the world is literally open for exploration. There's more to the world than we can possibly see. My goal is not only to see as much of it as I can, but also to help make it better and leave a giant imprint on it.
And by imprint, I mean a technological imprint. I once aspired to win the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering something cool. Now that I've grown a tad wiser, my goal is simply to take the world off fossil fuels by making solar panels super effective.
But as of now, I'm just a physics guy working in a particle beam lab, where I make sure our electron gun works.
My favorite food is the burrito. I'm fond of nature walks and using prepositions at the start of my sentences. I enjoy breathing in fresh ocean air as much as I enjoy watching a ladybug hatch from its cocoon.
I am a man of science. I believe in evolution and global warming.
I like Starcraft.
For now, I'm studying for the GRE, which I originally scheduled for September 13 without realizing that I'm gonna be in the BAHAMAS from September 10-17, which I then had to reschedule to September 28, which will give me some time to study for the test that, last year, I foolishly waltzed into, expecting a good score without any preparation whatsoever.
I'm also no good at writing conclusions.

2NE1 piano cover
I submitted something for the 2NE1 cover contest. Took me about 80 takes. It was worth it.

Entry 6-15-11
-Super 8 is the best movie I have seen recently. I like it better than the Ironmans, the Transformers, Inception, Avatar, and Fast Five. Go see it.
-I should pick up reading. It'll do me some good.
-I've become a part time plumber at the lab.
-Want new phone. Must have Wifi.
-Simulations almost done.
-Study GRE.
-Move forward.
