Well December was certainly a rough one, but I’ll try to stick to the positives on the blog. Despite the plethora of suck, there was actually a lot of silver lining too. I just wanted to say thanks to all my friends and family for being awesome. I’ll also throw a shout out to Bazaarvoice too for being so incredibly understanding and making things as easy as possible for me.

Now, on to the positives!

I’m sure it was a combination of things, but I finally broke down and got a puppy. Nancy says it’s about time and I’m two years late. Well, better late than never? =p I feel a little ashamed at not rescuing a dog, but my little shiba inu pup, Mozilla, is so awesome, I honestly can’t say I have any regrets. Sorry? =p

On Christmas Eve, Andrew, Nancy, Sam, Viraj and I hit the road. Here’s a short video of our trip to Arkansas to get the little guy:

And now, some photos. I made sure to wear my Mozilla Firefox shirt given the planned name I had for him.

On another topic, here’s a video of Oriana opening the Christmas gift I got her:

Bye for now!

It’s done! Viraj provided assistance in interviewing and some creative juices, if you know what I mean. Erhm…

When we played this to Sam, he sent me a multitude of cuss words. <3 Sam. ;)

Viraj made me censor a scene, but if you know me and want to see it, friend me on YouTube (owiber) and I may give you access to the uncensored version. =)

I wish I had gotten more footage, but not feeling well for part of the trip took a toll on my willingness to film much. Wish I had more footage of others on the trip. Next time! Enjoy!

Yay! Another Meatcation movie! This time, starring Sam Ni!

Like a few other iMovie templated movies, I just stuck with the default text for the most part. =)

Unfortunately, I took far less video than I should have this time around. I will commit to being more vigilant next time. Fortunately, I did a little better on the photo front which you can see on my Meatcation 2 flickr set. Enjoy!

Yeah yeah yeah, I went to Hong Kong and Singapore. Here are some photos:

There was a Korean place in this alley that was awesome:

I like to think of this as SAW VII: PANDAMONIUM:

I picked my own fish to steam from this lot of live seafood:

It was mighty yummy. =)

Clown barf!

This chili-crab in Singapore, OMan recommended, was also rather yummy.

Lots more photos on flickr.

I also made a movie trailer starring Melissa!

This is what came out of my short toying with iMovie.

Viraj and I had a lot of fun with this one. Except for the names, all the text is default.

Last night, I summoned Sam over so Viraj and I could show him the above video. Then, we told him to go home. Haha… actually, we made him drive us to Walgreens where we purchased milk, chips, beef jerky, ramen, sardines, and tuna. I think Viraj may have gotten some other stuff but I can’t remember. Viraj made the dark hot chocolate I got from Seattle, which was pretty rich. I think as far as hot chocolate goes, milk chocolate is the way to go… it was like drinking a melted dark chocolate bar… haha. Then, we watched part of a high school football game at 3AM. That was awesome.

I did not play ultimate this weekend because I was lazy and slept through it. Very sad. =(

I went to see The Blistering Speeds at Spider House with a bunch of BVers (Al and Scotty are in the band).

After that, I hung out for a few hours with Steph, Heather, OMan, Sam and Ryan. I also uploaded some photos I took for a photobook I made for Melissa…

On Sunday, Heather and Steph came over and OMan, Sam and I joined their scheduled P90X exercise which was intense. I think Melissa and I will start it when she comes back next year. Sam has also committed to doing it, so we’ll see how that goes. =)

Speaking of Sam… there is now a new Samitic.us post all about Sam Ni.

So I’m making this weekend post late. Blablabla… =p

I felt like the weekend went by pretty fast this time, probably because I went to sleep really late (or rather, really early in the morning) on Saturday and woke up at around 3:30PM. I started hacking through video from the Key West trip and ended up with the following, which you should probably not watch if you are easily offended. ;)

I decided to register Samitic.us for similar antics in the future (I have a few plans…), but for now it’s relatively bare. I think I finished the night by watching Running Man at Chancy’s, but I also might have my days mixed up… this is probably why I should blog about the weekend sooner. =p

On Sunday, I went to Vox and they had some baptisms. I took some photos, but I haven’t processed them yet (soon, I promise!). After that, we got BBQ from a school bus (it was called Old School BBQ, har har) then I went home and napped for a while. I don’t remember what I did after that…

During a chat with Melissa recently, I recalled this gem of a video I had stored in an external hard drive and I was shocked that I didn’t already have it online. Well, I have rectified that issue… =) (warning: contains profanity).

“No no no no no no no high velocity! No no… like that’s… NO! SHT C**K!! SHT C**K!!!!” - Sam Ni

I started playing with iMovie a bit this break and quickly threw together two vids:

Meatcation - The Montage:

Christmas at the Wongs:

Thaaaaat’s all for now!
