Drosophila melanogaster leg imaginal discs like to “stick” to different surfaces ~ especially little plastic replacable pipet tips. To prevent the discs from sticking, we add bovine serum albumin to the different solutions. This special beefy protein, would charge the walls of the different surfaces, and repel the discs from sticking to the […]
Why, I must look like a terrorist! In MCO, I was selected to be pat down and my carry-on checked thoroughly, in LAX, I was also selected! I just don’t quite get it.
After I finished showering, packing, and checking out this morning, I headed straight for Beverly Hills. It wasn’t far at […]
No more requirements, it’s pure vacation earlier today and tomorrow! Started off the day by going back to the Little Tokyo and had myself an authentic “ramen set.” Yes, ramen set from the dreams of Yukito! The set came with 4 gyoza (fried dumplings), fried rice (really good), and the ramen itself. […]
The idea of PBL, problem-based learning, is very much like the socialist idea. In an ideal setting, PBL will allow the students to explore and learn on their own more than ever. It’s my opinion however, that the world is very much less than ideal, and PBL will only see limited success without […]
What was it that made me realize that LA isn’t a safest place on Earth? Was it …
1) All the movies indicating criminal activities in LA?
2) All the news reported live about LAPD and the residents in LA?
3) The 1st gangster/rapper that I met as I checked into the hotel?
4) The group of african […]
After jumping around in almost complete nudity in front of people, peeing in front of a trained eye, getting my blood drawn, going to the hospital for records, scared shitless from insane doorbell at the fire station, and other little unimportant things, it’s not official! Two days ago, I got a call from Sgt […]
It’s a bit funny to watch a caricature of myself if Po wasn’t into porn since he was like… 10 years old. The 40 Year Old Virgin looks into the life of an action figure, xbox lovin’, and bike ridin middle aged man with a rather serious face. The comedy isn’t exactly slapstick, […]
I loved Basilisk, the anime. I loved Basilisk, the manga. Basilisk, the movie on the big screen with actors with questionable make up and weird beard stubbles, did not come across nicely however. The concept certainly should work - two star crossed lovers each born in the opposite blood feuding ninja clan. […]
Nowadays, it’s rare to see a film involving the audience directly with the actors SPEAKING to them. Amélie is such a film and from the getgo, the atmosphere feels totally different! Chronicling the life of Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou), Amélie starts off as a precocious home-schooled child sheltered from her surroundings due to […]
Back in 1999, I first saw FuFme site. It’s a breakthrough in digital communication, and a step toward punching someone through the Internet. Today, I simply want to bookmark and save this site amongst the pages of this blog - for it might be lost one day and no one would believe me.
I think it was about 10 years ago, when I first visited Fazoli’s in front of the Fashion Square mall and had myself their all-you-can-eat spaghetti feast. I remember pounding down some 6 or 7 plates, enough to make the register girl gawk at the crazy Asian man. Today, near UCF, I decided […]
