my computer has been under attack by the same virus the past 4 days. random .exe files would appear on my desktop and the comptuer would run slower and slower. if you press ctrl+alt+del, there would be a list of 30+ random programs running. im a lazy person. i dont download security updates or have virus protection because for the past couple years. ive been running the computer as it is.

random facts i learned from the da vinci code:

leonardo da vinci is a homosexual.
backwards writing appears in some of da vinci's works.
there are 666 glass panes on the louvre pyramid.
there is a catholic cult called opus dei. http://www.opusdei.org
corporal mortification: to inflict pain upon yourself 2 hours/day remembering the death of jesus.
da vinci, sir issac newton, botticelli, victor hugo were in a secret society: Priory of Sion

i couldnt sleep last night. i was too excited about the interview. yea sure, i hate interviews. i just layed in my bed and answered to myself every possible question the interviewer could ask me. it turned out that i was interviewed first by a friend which was a joke and then the 2nd interview was basically listening to what the branch manager had to say. i didnt have to do much talking. what a waste of time preparing lies. she went over how much we get paid and such. after that she invited me to the company. everyone in the office is under 30 and willing to make money. i just so happen to be the youngest person ever to work there. i start training next week and i will be officially getting paid on october 1st. it is not an easy job. each table is your store and i am my own business. i am given the priviledge to so-called rent out a table and make my money.

to give you an idea of the place, as i walked in, i can literally hear a pin drop. i see my friend playing pinball on the computer and there is a half finished pack of doublestuff on the break room. the office is brand new with the smell of wood from the new redwood desks. the network has barely been up for a month and the branch is unknown to many people. right now there are only 3 of us in this one big room (not including me) who will be the majority of the workforce for the next couple of months. so far the branch has reached a volume of 2 million bucks this month. pretty good for 3 people. there is an IN n Out right in back of us and speedzone across the street. we basically work on restaurant row. the parking lot is full of nice cars except for mines.

my car is now a senior citizen. it has reached a mileage of 100,000 miles. there are no signs of mechanical failure, the motor still runs good and roars like a lion. i cant believe a ford can last so long. im young, asian, and driving a domestic. those 3 factors should easily cut any vehicle's life in half.

good news: i am ready for my interview and Honda decides to continue their production of the RC51 into 2005! what a sigh of relief. also, i had a very naughty girl dream last night. wow my body is finally producing testosterone again!

bad news: i have a negative checking account balance and a negative credit balance!!! woo hoo! the question is: which account would overdraft to the other? also my weight has stopped increasing. what the heck?? im already doing all the bad things such as slamming down couple ice cream sandwiches before bedtime and still no results. bacon grease maybe?

we have a stalker here. must defeat stalker.

the da vinci code is the best book i have ever read. the last time i have ever completed a book is in 10th grade and the fastest it took was 2 weeks. still was blurry to me. i read the da vinci code in less than a week and it all made sense. it is a thriller which deals with ancient secrets tying with the vatican and all burdens one man to unlock these secrets. during the process, it puts this man in great danger. all the references are accurate although the story is fiction and makes you think that you could be the next indiana jones.

so i have this premium pass to disneyland and i decided to use it. problem is, no one to go with. so i go and sit in the french market for hours reading the da vinci code and learning my italian. new orleans square is the best because it reminds me of europe with a bunch of hicks walking around. it doesnt get boring until you line up for a ride and tell the worker you have a party of 1. And you get to sit by yourself. sometimes if i get lucky, i get the whole vehicle to myself!

bellagio has opened a new restaurant. besides opening FIX, the new restaurant is called Michael Mina. It is a seafood restaurant which adds to the list of restaurants we must eat at. not to mention, bellagio is opening a brand new tower in the fall. couple days ago, i made reservations to the best restaurant in vegas, Picasso. the minimum for each person is $85 and you get to sit amongst authentic Picasso paintings. if i get immature enough, i might add some ketchup or steak sauce to blend in with his already abstract art. no one will ever know, until they smell it.
