Denzel Washington is one of my all time favorite actors. I think he can do literally any role in any movie, and excel. But… I don’t think he can be a good director. As his directorial debut, Antwone Fisher broached a good subject, with good script and acting to back up the […]

Living with Ricky [little brown man] meant I had to watch Gandhi [very little brown man]. It wasn’t that long ago when I thought Gandhi was like… Jesus. I mean, I thought Gandhi sat under a tree, and starved till he changed the world with the Koran. Maybe that was Buddha or […]

I mean, really… how much does it care? I often read on SDN that the profs in other schools are all evil and the administration don’t care (UConn especially). Well, here at BU, the profs care… a lot.
From the experience in EXCEL, I met Dr. Friedman, and since then, she had became our […]

If you have been a long time reader of my blog, you might recall an incident with water that took place almost two years ago. Well, I don’t think anything could be worse than what had happened - but what happened over the last couple of days almost took the cake!
Since August 2006, I […]

It’s weird how one horrifying experience with Thai restaurant can forever turn me away from Thai food. I might have mentioned this in my blog before, but back in early 2000s, I went to all-you-can eat Thai buffet in Gainesville… and all I can remember was that the food served was mushy… shapeless… and […]

One of the perks of being a dental student here at Boston is that I get free dental care from upper class and specialty residents. Since the beginning of the semester, I wanted to get Orthodontic work done ~ I was born without any of my wisdom teeth nor my mandibular lateral incisors. […]

More than a year ago, I wrote a blog entry on drifting with people tuning their cars to drift on Gran Turismo 3. Because GT3 is as close to a real driving simulation as was possible then, people did crazy things! Check out Drifter’s Delight again, via YouTube this time -

So, drifting has […]

No Name Restaurant is incredibly famous across the New England area and came highly recommended from Paul. Thinking it must be the bestest Seafood Restaurant, Kevin, Drew, and myself went to check them out (Kevin already been 4 or 5 times).
