I carried my CANON S95 every where, and often I used my iPhone to take a photo. iPhone has a very decent camera. It takes a nice photo in a low-light situation. I like to share moments and interesting things through my photography. I share my photos through Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and even in my blog. One of my favorite application that I have been using is Instagram. I like this application because it provides me with ton of photo effects and it is easy to share my photos on Twitter and Facebook.

For those who do not use iPhone, you will not have Instagram to view my photos. However, I use Inkstagram to share all of my Instagram photos on the web. So, now you can view all of my Instagram photos on my Photography page!! Don’t forget to check it out!

When I see pictures that Thai people share on Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, I can’t help but feel sorry for victims. This is probably one of the biggest disaster in Thailand’s history.

Floods are coming to the area where my parents’ house is located and expected to pass through this area before flowing into the Gulf of Thailand. This is scary!!! I really hope the flood would go somewhere else or leave minimal impact to our area.

Let’s take a look at our great lessons learned from this disaster.  These pictures were collected from multiple sources. Thanks everyone for sharing!

Thanks to the ILC staff! I love the 3D card and the Tiramisu cake. Tonka’s potato salad was so yummy!!

3D Birthday Card

20110929-232258.jpg

Do you know what the meaning of “Tiramisu” is? Tiramisu is an Italian word and it means “pick me up.” I have known this tasty dessert for about ten years or so. I think Tiramisu has become popular around that time. Actually, Tiramisu is not a new creation from Italy. According to Wiki, it has been mentioned in Italian cookbook since 1983!

Some said it wasn’t too difficult to cook, but it looks complicated to me. Some day I will give it a try. I don’t have the recipe, yet I’m sure it should not be a problem to find one on the Internet.

It sounded pathetic, but I had to do it. I had no choice. Brandon insisted to throw me a party. He arranged a dinner with friends of his and mine at Fuego restaurant.

I decided to go because I felt like this could be my last year to celebrate my birthday in Mobile. Also, I wanted to show my appreciation to our friendships.I’m graduating soon, and I have no clue of what is going to happen in the next few months.

All in all, thanks to Brandon who has always been good friend to me and thanks to all of my friends who came to the dinner party.

Bill, David, Amy, Kenny, Denise, Danielle, James, Jonathan, Brandon, and me

Then, I saw a lot of friends using and bragging about it. So, I decided to give it a try. Oh WOWWWW! I’m digesting it now LOL! Ton and ton of my facebook activities will be exposed!! I’m not sure if this is a good thing…

Like I said.. I’m digesting haha! Facebook timeline went all the way back to the date I signed up an account. Can you believe that? I mean.. you have to try it for yourself and then you will see what I mean. The process to change the interface isn’t bad at all. You can follow the instruction here.

It was such a good experience presenting the summary of my own research study and sharing my knowledge and thoughts with others. I really appreciate all the support, guidance, and suggestion from my committee. I know this is not done yet, but it is good to know that I’m one step closer to the finish line.

I went a little over the top with my PowerPoint presentation. My research topic was about chart design, and I would like to make a statement by using the infographics to present the survey results. I was so happy with what I created.

Last night when I was looking  for tips to prepare my dissertation defense, I found some interesting comics that made me smile. Take a look at them and let me know what you think!

In fact, category-1 Hurricane Irene just made landfall in North Carolina this evening. That’s a lot better than what has been predicted. I mean.. it could have been worse. Now, NYC is threatened as it could be on the Hurricane Irene’s path. Hopefully, it will be weakened or at least stay as category 1 hurricane. Hope everyone stays dry and be safe!
