Yes! HALLOWEEN!


Wow... this was 3 months ago.


The classic "let's pretend to be serious" pic.


Awww aren't they cu-- wtf Alex?!


No really, I don't usually wear that much makeup.

MY BIRTHDAY =]


My lovely balloons from everyone... you can't see it, but they attached a can of Spam to the bottom -_-.


The engineering quad at UIUC... dAYM. Me and daddy =)


The cake with its cook... =) wait a second.. why does everyone go psycho in front of my camera???


Happy b-day to me and my mommyyyy =)


See, this surprise party for Emily's bday (8 days after mine) was originally my idea.... and then I end up leading Em into the basement: "SURPRISE!" ... pictures of Javy are taped all over the walls... I guess the party was for me, too ~_^


Thanks for the party, guys =D


What a beautiful creation.


~Pepto Bismol Chuggers Anonymouse [PBCA]~ forever =D

DOWNTOWN!!!


Finally fulfilled my dream of shoppin up n down Michigan... SO PERTY!



In Marshall Fields... lookin like tourists, takin pictures from the balcony.


How could I not take a picture?? Man... wintertime downtown is fun stuff.

TAF gettogethers!!! =)


Eric and Jeremy came.. unfortunately the only normal picture I took with them was pretty bad, so here we have Jason's garage... "Jason, is the body lotion in your car yours?"


More fun in Jason's car... his foine lights 'on the flo', as Liss would say.


Frank havin fun with my camera as Liss spazzes out


Mmmmm Chipotle =D


Asked some random chick in Starbucks to take our pic


Unfortunately, her camera illiteracy ruined the classic "let's pretend to be thoughtful" pic cuz half of us [including me...] didn't know she was snappin it

Maura's house... and all its legacy


Secret Santa fun... a bunch of really bad pictures were taken that night though -_- [not that I plan on posting them! =D]


But some cool pix too.. out in the snow [just like my banner]


More fun times at Maura's place... before the winter dance.

Last Thursday night =D


C'mon... can it get any more heavenly?? LIME JELLO HELL YEA!!


In front of Brunswick...


... where I actually DIDN'T LOSE!! [I tied with Lauren.. really! I'm the last one! Believe me!]

To leave you with something "elegant"...


Now, don't assume anything from the poker chips, frapuccino, and cards on the table [which by the way ARE transparent and really nifty] ... but uh... Olivia was having fun. "Look guys, I'm a blind guy with one eye open!"

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR =D [aka: Chinese new year]
Spent a full hour eating "nian ye fan" (new year's eve dinner)... bustin out the hot pot, peking duck, 100$ bills and "hong bao"s on the table ... good stuff! =D Have a good year o' the Monkey, guys.

school.

Pretty much sums it up, huh? Start of second semester. I'm kind of glad we didn't have finals till after winter break... that meant we had 2 full weeks off to enjoy, even though we had a LITTLE homework.... Then a week after we got back, we had finals [which, as stated before, are luckily not a stress point for me] and then a REAALLLYYY nice 4-day-weekend with no homework and no worries. I think this past weekend has been and will be the best weekend (extended or not extended) that will happen all year, for the simple fact that we had no homework whatsoever. Good stuff.

I did really well on all my finals... I think Jeff might've had a heart attack when he realized I got a higher grade than him on Bio. We changed seats in Bio and Spanish (and now I am officially sitting right in front of the fucking A/C vents again... since our school refuses to turn on the heater even in the winter) and [Anne...] I'm sitting next to Kyle in Geometry now. HAHAHA. Soooo anyway I guess it's a good start, the only downside is that ... it IS second semester... which means a whole half year of school to go. Yuck.

The school is going crazy with buzz about Girls Choice... g'damnit... save me....
