Just like what the topic says.
This last weekend I went to see family in the central valley. My cousin Jeanie came to the bay area but managed to get back in time on Sunday to make her big announcement that she was 5 months (21 weeks) pregnant. Woohoo! How great is that?
Our family is just spouting babies everywhere! :)
Well, while I was down there I was basically cornered. My aunts and cousins held me down and made me tell them that A.J. and I are engaged and then FORCED me to tell them the additional news of being 13 weeks pregnant.
So, the cat's out of the bag. I'm totally pregnant!
Hopefully, in a month I can tell everyone what's the supposed sex of the baby, but if the Chinese lunar calendar is any indication, I'm having a girl. :D Let's wait until the ultrasound confirms that. ;)
Overall, my family members were so happy for me and supported me a lot. I know that my mom did not want me to tell anyone until I was ACTUALLY married, but why hide something so wonderful? It was funny that my dad was like, "YAY!" and my mom was like, "BOO!" and my brothers were like, "WOO-HOO!" When my cousin Jeanie and I told our grandmother she said, "Well, I figured as much. The food that Renée kept asking me to make was what I was craving when I was pregnant." Oh grandma... You're a SMART cookie, you are!
So, the things I will need to tackle in the next month or so:
- Maternity Clothes Shopping
That's about it. :P
So yeah, I got a new MacBook :)
Inspired by Warhammer Online coming out soon, I decided to take a couple of photos of myself with elf ears. For this rendition I am an High Elf Archmage (you can tell by the circlet on my head. :)
I drew over a picture of myself using photoshop.
So, the idea behind this photo shoot was that it was going to be for her senior portrait. Well, it turned out to be more than that, as typically, you don't think of lacy dresses in senior portraits. Either way... Here is what came of it.
These are my personal favorites of the set.
She ended up using the one with her laying on her front side.
And the following are just photos of me playing around with photoshop. The hair color was a request. And she ended up liking the eye color a lot!
If you had to go on a two-week vacation with any celebrity, who would you pick as your traveling companion and where would you go?
Wow! That's hard to say, but I would probably pick Edward Norton and we'd go to Italy. :)
So, this past weekend I attended FanimeCon 2008. For those that don't know, Fanime is an Anime convention so people can cosplay as their favorite anime characters or just plain hang out with friends haha. I chose the hang out with friends portion. What really caught my interest for Fanime this year aside from my best friend Kevin, dj'ing, was a J-Rock group "AN-CAFE" performing live!
P.S. I CANT GET THE ENDING SONG TO HARUHI OUT OF MY HEAD DAMNIT...
New drum'n'bass mix! Done with (Ableton) Live 7, since I picked it up this past week. I'm still puzzled as to why I'd never mixed with it prior (as I've only produced a bit with it before), since it's basically the greatest thing ever. Really versatile, intuitive program.
So this one's a long time coming... I've been mixing a lot lately, though just haven't gotten around to recording anything. There've been tons of new releases since my last mix, including Pendulums (mediocre) new album 'In Silico', Evol Intent's 'Era Of Diversion' LP, as well as various Lifted artist EP's and singles. Tons of great stuff so far in 2008. As the tracklist so blatantly reflects, I'm reeeeaaaally into the new Apex EP that just promo'ed this week. It's being called some of the best dnb of the decade by critics - remarks I can't disagree with. These tunes will be smashers for years to come.
Tracklist:
- Apex - Nowhere To Run
- Telemetrik - Cosmos
- Pendulum - Granite
- Apex - Same Old Blues
- Evol Intent & Ewun - 8-Bit Bitch (Spor Remix)
- Absolute Zero & Subphonics - The Code (SKC Remix)
- Apex - Hench
- Evol Intent & Demo - Unexplained Sounds
- Calyx & Teebee - The Quest (Break Remix)
- Pendulum - 9000 Miles
- Apex - Weeping Willow

There are times where I get to be a materialistic girl. During those times I like to fantasize about obtaining certain items. Those certain items on my list are as follows:
Tokidoki ♥'s Onitsuka
In Tokidoki's latest collaboration efforts, Simone Legno teams up with sport shoe maker Onitsuka famous for their Onitsuka Tiger line.
Tokidoki Watch
An original design which is fairly simple and not too busy, however, still cute.
beatmania IIDX 14 Gold
Konami's latest IIDX release (Gold) looks promising. MAKE IT MAKE MONEY!
Even after going out of my way to make sure I blog more about stuff I make or create, I still continue to suck at it. Or rather, I suck at blogging in general, really. Ohhhhhhhhhhh well. It feels like I've said it before, but if you really want to know what's going on with me, calling, texting, IMing, or emailing me does the trick. I swear I'll reply. Calling will most likely yield the best result. ;)
So, yeah. Another product of a lazy Sunday in March, this one just seemed natural. My favorite MJ song with one of the hottest hiphop/r&b beats in recent memory. I wish I could find a better quality acapella, but this is all the internet had to offer, legally or otherwise. :|
Listen 'til the end, yeah? I got bored and uhh...experimented a bit.
Maybe I'll clean the whole thing up a bit more and expand on the random noise at the end sometime. It's always a maybe.
