Fashion Faceoff

*I guess in light of the revival of Canny's blog I will, from time to time, write about more feminine topics.*

Kim Kardashian and Tyra Banks wore the same dress down the red carpet last Friday and it made me think. Is it really THAT big of a deal to wear the same thing as another person?I guess the obvious answer is 'Yes'. But in my opinion, there are different levels of how big of a deal wearing the same clothes actually is.

For example, I remember Hao Ming (a friend) wore the same shirt as Mr. Soraine (my math teacher) and that was probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen. This is one of the worst cases since I'm sure it was embarassing for Hao Ming to wear the same shirt as our teacher. Or maybe it was more embarassing for our math teacher for wearing the same shirt as Hao Ming.... Point is no one benefited from this moment, except for Canny and I, the only two people who noticed the shirts.

I guess the least embarassing time to wear the same thing as someone else would be at a sports event. Well duh, sports Jerseys? It would be retarded if 2 people got mad at each other because they wore the same 'Bosh' jersey at a Raptors game.

Simply said, please avoid wearing the same thing as your friends when you go out. And this goes double for girls because we all know girls are 10x more concerning about their clothes than us guys.

Ps. In my opinion, I think Tyra rocked the gown better than Kim.

Family BBQ

If you guys have a BBQ this summer I'll bring the ribs (High school friends)
Ribs, broccoli, shrimp, beef, salmon, chicken wings. Yum.
Mini Hulk. Look! He's bending the fence with his strength!

I don't even know his name but he got the last King for King's cup so GG. It was beer + a wine drink my cousin made. Oh, and there was a strawberry in there too.

Happy Birthday Matthew

Its a few days early but its all good! Hope you had a fun weekend Matthew!

Jersey Shore

This post is long overdue just because its an old show but I didn't get around to watching the series until now. Its the most stupid show, and the most entertaining show at the same time. Any one who watches an episode will probably think "What the heck" because I'll admit most episodes are just about fighting and trash talking. But any one whos watch the entire season would tell you all the drama was definitely entertaining.

Now, notice I'm using the term 'entertaining' because if I used the term "it was a great show" what is left for me to describe much better shows like 'How I met your mother'.

Guys should never hit a girl, and this dude and a real retard but this clip is probably one of the most famous ones of the season.

The Hangover

Fun night last night, I got home in one piece, thats all that matters. Thanks you Christian for driving me home because I'm 99% sure you did. Let me tell you guys how cool Christian is. We used to be such close friends through out elementary school and we maybe hung out a total or 10 times in the past 5 years (just because I went to a different highschool and uni) and he took care of me last night. Childhood friends ftw. Christian = Bamf of the day.

What happened to just playing with fireworks?? I did not come prepared for drinking X__X If I knew I would have tried a trick my cousin taught me so I could drink more har har. I learned something about myself, I don't mix well with tequila. No more of that stuff!

So Let me tell you the situation. It was my friends birthday party last night, I literally haven't seen her since elementary school (grade 8) and I totally embarrass myself >_> Great... OH WELL!

I'm glad I got this blog down because to be honest, my head hurts like crap. From the advice of Canny, I'll take an advil.

Lesson Learned: Turn off your cellphone before you go out drinking - Thank you / Sorry to the person who I called a million times, I hope I made you laugh when I talked giberish. You know who you are =)

UFC 114: Rampage vs. Evans

The long awaited grudge match between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad Evans is finally set. One of my first blog posts were about Rampage leaving the UFC to follow his acting career in "The A-Team" and after half a year of waiting, us fans can finally watch the much anticipated fight.

I hope I don't hype this fight too much because as part of Greg Jackson's camp you just know Rashad will come out with a great game plan. And unfortunately the best tactic for him would be to use his wrestling background to take the fight to the ground and keep Rampage off-balance. Jackson has great takedown defense but with him being out of the cage for so long, I hope I don't see any ring rust.

I'm routing for Rampage because I want to see a Shogun vs. Jackson fight. It'll be like old times in Pride! But sorry Rampage, I see Rashad being the more complete fighter and that will be your downfall.

Wenlock and Mandeville

Welcome to the new mascots of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Their names are Wenlock and Mandeville (I don't know which one is which)These figures look like Sauron, you know, that big eye thing in the movie "Lord of the Rings". Oh yeah, and the one of the left looks like its wearing an oven mitt.

I don't even know what to think of the mascots. Homer's "Springy" mascot is 10x better than these things.The Olympics commission said focus groups of children helped form the designs of the mascots, which completes the puzzle. It does look like something a bunch of kids would create as a class project. It's like Wenlock and Mandeville were pieced together from every child's suggestion. "They should have one eye!" "It'd be cool if they did karate!" "Make them fly!" It reminds me of the time the Simpsons created "Funzo" the Christmas toy and they asked all the kids to create it.After looking at the mascot picture I'm proud Canadian's had the Quatchi as its mascot for the 2010 games.

TAEYANG - Wedding Dress Cover English Ver. Music Video (Tommy C & J.Reyez)

What a perfect day to release the video. On Tae Yang's 23rd birthday.

I'm not going to sugar coat the video, the original is way better. But of course I'm going to support J.Reyez by saying I think he's one of the hardest working Asian youtube stars. If you look at Traphik, Lil Crazed, D-Pryde their music are all decent but non of them put the same effort in to their music videos. (No disrespect to any of them, I listen to all their music).

I remember asking Dennis yesterday whos playing the guy who steals the girl in the video and he said Pat Lam from SoRealCru and of course J.Reyez will play the role of Tae Yang. So I'm like "Uhh.... so whos Tommy C going to play?" and Dennis was like "He's just J.Reyez' friend in the video" hahaha I laughed so hard when he told me that. Btw Dennis is the guy @ 2:58 with the green hat on J.Reyez' left (he's his manager).

Sole Survivor

Simply said, the best Survivor player of all time is Russell Hantz. Thats debatable, I understand, but to even consider Sandra as the best of all time because she is the only player to win the game twice is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.

Sandra has never won individual immunity which means she has no physical game. Her ONLY strategy this season was to take out Russell and guess what? She failed at that because Russell made it to the top 3! Meaning she has no social/strategic game. "If Sandra has 2 victories in the game, theres something wrong with the game of survivor" - Russell Hantz

Even if Russell didn't take the win, I'd much rather see Parvati win just because when she played the 2 hidden immunity idols at once, it was the most genius play I have ever seen.

P.s. The most dominant physical player in the game has to be James, my favourite Survivor player of all time!

Kids should finish their hmwk

And people ask me why I'm scared of haut gwais... Probably because the teachers get into brawls with the students.

The man in black

*Don't worry if you don't understand the title, its a joke from Lost*
A straight left hand and it was nighty nighty.

Momo

Haoming, all I can say is I hope you don't have some freaky nick name for me. Sure, its cute if a girl calls Jeffrey that but a guy calling another guy momo? Do you put lipstick on the same mouth?

Unfair voting

I'm dying of laughter right now. Gary Chan, Haoming and I were talking about Sikka's model contest thing on Facebook. Gary and Haoming were fighting about who looked better in the contest and then we realized Sikka was winning! Then we concluded it was probably because we kept clicking on her link to compare people. She made it so we autovote for her when we click her link on her facebook page >___>. Thats pretty smart and unfair.

Some of Sikka's votes might not count because I think you have to be Canadian to give your vote and WE ALL know Haoming's not Canadian. Its probably the only time he will ever vote on Canadian soil.... He must be so happy :) [I'm kidding Haoming, don't be mad]

May 14th: I see Sikka posting her link on everyone's wall on facebook. If she posts it on my wall, I'm deleting it. Not being rude to her but what if my little cousins visit my page?? I don't want to scar them with such horror.

Now THATS a workout

Its been too long since I had a workout like today. I go to the gym at Laurier but with no one with me I don't push myself enough. I can safely say by going with Canny I probably work 5x as hard. 3rd day in a row going to YMCA and my legs are gone. We should receive a medal for biking up Kennedy Rd, its the most steep street ever X__X.

Gym again tomorrow? Yeah probably. But PLEASE no biking...:'( My quads are begging for a ride.

May 13th: My body is so sore I can barely move today. Chest, lower back, abs, biceps, and shoulders hurt like crazy. Surprisingly my quads are fine.

UFC 113 recap

You know what I noticed from this trip? Learning french for all those years don't help at all >___>

Iron Man 2

*WARNING, contains spoilers*Ladies, you fight over Edward or Jacob for Twilight. Guys, we choose either Iron Man or War Machine. In my opinion, War Machine's gatlin gun just makes him the better man.

Hao ming told me Iron Man 2 was not a great movie. I am now wondering what the heck did he watch?? I thought Iron Man 2 was awesome, perhaps not as great as the first one but that goes with all sequels. Okay fine, I'll agree they defeated whiplash in a matter of seconds but the overall movie had tons of explosions (which is always the case for sequels).

After the movie was over half the people left. There was probably only 50 people in the theater. Like SERIOUSLY! Iron Man 1, there was something after the credits! Hulk, there was something after the credits! OF COURSE there will be something after these credits too! The whole time I was telling myself Captain America will appear in the end after the credits. But wow, Thor? Never expected him to come so soon.

P.s. Its a bit sad, I was the only one who knew the metal piece Tony Stark put under the pipe belonged to Captain America. As a kid I watched the Avengers and the Justice League every Saturday morning and I also remember I would have / wear all the superhero shirts. Come to think of it, I was pretty much a Marvel + Capcom nerd. But now I'm glad to have been one because I actually understand who Nick Fury is and who are probably the characters who will be in the Avengers movie. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, War Machine.

Daley's sucker punch

Paul Daley, one of the top 170s in the world, was cut by Dana White after he threw a sucker punch to Josh Koscheck after their fight at UFC 113.

"He's done. I don't give a [expletive] if he's the best 170-pounder in the world, he'll never come back here again," White said in the postfight press conference.

I personally wouldn't have said he will NEVER fight in the UFC again but you can't argue with Dana's actions. Daley was the dumbass who threw a punch after the fight and claims "he didn't hear the bell" yeah.... NO ONE believes you buddy!

So whats next for Daley? Like everyone else who leave the UFC, I say Strikeforce.

Eye of the Beholder

I finally have the time to watch this show.

The look alikes

The one on the left is Lisa's friend. His name is Robin. The one on the right is Hong-Man Choi. He is a mixed martial arts fighter.

So do these people look alike? I say yes! The one on the right just has a longer face.

UWAC-vlog

A short video while I was waiting for my ride. UWAC was done at this point and it was just me and the UWAC team. They were in a meeting so I decided to make a quick vlog.

*The volumes a bit low on the video. I'm sorry! By the time I noticed I already uploaded everything. So maybe just turn up your volume a little to enjoy the video better =) Watch the Video in 480p!

Car bomb found in Times Square

The bad part about UWAC is how I haven't been up to date about world news. I didn't hear about the failed car bomb attempt in New York until today. I'm sure I speak for every one when I say I'm glad the time device did not work and the attack was not successful.

Who knows, maybe the time device WAS working but Jack Bauer came in to save the world once again. With the help of Chloe O'Brien too of course. (I'm a huge '24' fan so sorry if you don't understand the joke)

UWAC day 2 + 3 (Heyy, heyy, heyy)

Its Sunday night and I'm not going to lie, I'm super tired but the sleep in the car ride home helped.

UWAC day 2 was better than the first day just because I think I met much more people at the socials + the dance + semiformal + the presentation + creampoloy. There was the case competitions which I simply loved. Sadly, I think the presentation was my favourite part of the conference because I like working under pressure in an advisory role. I know, I'm pretty nerdy for ENJOYING the case, but then again, most of the people who went to UWAC are the students who take initiative and like to get involved.

Jenny, creamoploy = the most confusing game ever!! BUT I would love to play again because now that I understand the game, I also know the strategies to win. I don't know how you invented this game, you're so creative!

UWAC-2010!!!

At the dinner I sat beside a former co-chair. He was the one who picked my sister onto the UWAC team so like wow... Plus his name was also Richard which makes him automatically awesome haha. I talked to him about university and co-op but some how it ended up to be about UFC again haha. We were talking about my trip to Montreal this weekend. Honestly it was great talking to him just because I find MMA fans were a small breed at this conference.

The dance was decent. Alright it was a Waterloo dance so OF COURSE its not like Laurier's but thats because Laurier people are really open (and white) so their dances are usually better. In saying that, the dance was fun but I don't know if I'm saying that because of the alcohol consumption ha...ha.....

After the dance I was lucky enough to party with the UWAC execs (the benefit of being the co-chair's brother muhaha). Christine even bought me alcohol which I did find surprising but was very happy about it =). After people were done drinking I was the garbageman. Does that mean I cleaned up? Helllll no! It meant I finished the liquor in all the bottles! It was about a cup of different vodkas mixed together. What I was really shocked was I shared some with Olivia. These were hard liquors and I assume she does not drink much. Shes so cool, fun to have at a party for sure.

So yeah, that was day 2. Jenny had A LOT of fun. Right Jenny? haha. Jeffrey drank a bit which I can say is very cool. Small steps!

The final day I was running on lack of sleep (I can't complain because UWAC people got much less than me). Breakfast was so yummy! The entire weekend the food was great. Much much better than I expected and the service right up there with the quality of the food.

Andy Thibodeau is an intersting fellow, very funny. I enjoyed his motivational speech. AND I enjoyed watching the slideshow of the UWAC weekend. Andy was right, the music was truly amazing and fit perfectly with the video. I'm SO shocked they knew the song Bedouin Soundclash - "When the Night Feels My Song".

Best person I talked to all weekend was definitely Mr Greenwood. By the end of the conference he knew my name haha. I talked to him every chance I got because since he was in the power business he would have a lot of insight on social responsibily which I'm really interested in. Hope he had a good flight back to Hong Kong. SPEAKING of HK.... It seems like everyone is going back, cough* Jenny... Lucky!!!

UWAC was great I'll probably go one more time, maybe when I'm in 3rd year. For those who actually read these longg blogs about UWAC: Wow you have a lot of time and I will go back to talk about global issues, UFC, and maybe a bit about my life.

UWAC-2010 memories for lifee!

> And I guess since these blogs have been a bit boring I'll throw in a Song of the Day: Find your Love - Drake. Its a brand new song so I'm sure none of you have heard it before, enjoy. If you hear me say "Heyy, heyy, heyy" you will know which song I'm referring to.

I'm more than just an option
(hey hey hey)
refuse to be forgotten
(hey hey hey)
I took a chance with my heart
(hey hey hey)

Day one of UWAC

Wow, I have a lot to talk about for the first day of UWAC. This blog will probably be really boring but this one is more for me logging my experience at UWAC. Its an accounting conference people, you didn't expect it to be THAT interesting to read did you??

Woke up at 6am (slept at about 3:30am). It was so funny/ awkward. I asked my sister if her washroom was free for me to brush my teeth and she told me yes so I walked in her room. Thats when I awkwardly met her friend for the first time...I'll leave it at that. <--- Jenny, you're the only one who knows that joke so SHH!

We get to the hotel at 7am and I helped the UWAC team by carrying their giftbags to the lobby. Aren't I the best delegate ever? Anyways, so I didn't have to go register until 10am so I took the longest shower I've ever had in the hotel room but that was only 40minutes long (I'm a guy, 40 minutes in the shower is a lifetime). I found it very funny how the UWAC team was all dressed up and I was in my casual clothes but after I showered and went downstairs I was fully suited up, Barney Stinson would be proud!

I registered at 9am where I was one of the earilest people, which meant I got to talk to all the early delegates. I'm really glad I didn't know any delegates at UWAC because that meant I got to truly mingle with fellow CA prospects. I definitely sharpened my networking skills today and I'm really proud of that. I got out of my comfort zone which is a good thing.

I met many interesting people today from BC all the way to Nova Scotia! UWAC was so diverse the year!! Every university that has a decent business program had someone represent them. I'm just going to name the schools I remember seeing people from: Waterloo, Laurier, Bishop, Simon Fraser, University of British Columbia, University of Alberta, Queens, Ryerson's Ted Rogers, UofT sg, UofT sc, UofT m, Schulich, McGill, UOIT, University of Nova Scotia, Brock. There was maybe one or two more schools but thats all I can remember.

I was SO hungry at times but I had to fight through the tiredness and keep meeting / talk with other people. I talked to Mr.Greenwood and had a great talk with him. We talked about his company's social responsibility and what his perspective is about different issues. I also talked to him about the most important asset on any resume to get a co-op. He was extremely helpful, I hope I get to talk to him tomorrow, I have another topic I want to discuss with him.

COOL -->At the dinner I was sitting with other delegates + Jenny + a man named Jay Chai. Let me just say great dinner, so yummy. The funny thing is Jay and I started talking about UFC and our perspectives of the Machida/Shogun fight and who we thought was the pound for pound best in MMA. We talked about the Raptors, Jays, so pretty much all sports. I later tell that to my sister and she tells me he's a senior executive at Deloitte (One of the biggest accounting firms in the world) and he is some one I should get to know if I ever want to work at Deloitte. I'm like wow.... I just had a MMA conversation with a senior executive, he was so cool!!

After there was a casino night. WOW great way to end the night!!! Canny, I know you would of had so much fun playing poker here because it was against other students and even some business executives! I did pretty well. Jenny, you were the hardest working dealer! And you were a pretty damn good dealer too, good job. Jeffrey, I'm sorry... I can't say the same to you because I didn't win big when I played blackjack at your table. I think Olivia is very very cool, she busted a lot which is why I went to her table =) I kid I kid, she just got unlucky a few times, she does seem like a very fun person to talk to.

Okay so that's day 1. Day 2? More work! Hmm.... lets not call it work because I'm starting to like UWAC, its exciting tasks and activities!
