Poem: Cyber world

Meet on the internet, Share love and joy, Know not the face nor voice, Live in this cyber world.

Diary: Learning Process

All of a sudden, I thought about my past. When I came to United States, I was an innocent boy. I was shy and dumb. At that time, I did not speak English well and I knew nothing about the world nor anybody. It took me a year before I could hear people's talks in church on Sunday (You can tell how bad my English was). Now I look at myself. I did learn a lot. My english is improved (I guess!) . I have my degrees and many friends around me. I also learnt surfing, spear fishing, photography, tube audio, auto, lots of theories (good and bad), and confidence......... How did I do it? I don't really know but I guess it is because I am persistent and I am always patient and have positive attitude on life. I don't want to just live a life here in the world. I want an exciting life. I want it to be very colorful, fun, and memoriable. I remembered the time that I self taught myself spear fishing. Back then, everyone thought I was crazy and insane going into the dark ocean at night in Hawaii with just a mask, a tube, wet suit, fins, and a flash light. However, after so many days, I did get my reward ~ arm size of fish or lobsters or octopus daily. No matter how bad the weather was. I still went into the water because I made a goal to do it daily. What was the moral of the story? Never give up. Did I get scared to fail sometimes? I can say I don't fail unless I give up. Does it mean I have a very good life? I can say my life is tough. I almost suisided last year. Last night, After I talked with Kumi and David, I found out I am really have strong faith. I hope I can always be like this making right choices and influrence all my friends positively in my life.

Diary: Grommes sold on ebay

Wow! I sold my Grommes G101A power amps on ebay with very good $. I am so happy. I still have 3 of those. I will put on a bit more effort to fix them up and sell them all for good $. Here is the pic of the Grommes that I sold.

Diary: Emotion

HiFi is hard to fool around with. Tonight, I was listening to my console version of sp210 preamp. I found out the sound is missing something. The sound is not tight enough. The tension is not there. So I switched the other sp210 which doesn't use the original output wires. The sound has changed. I could feel the sound is more open, transparent, and dynamic. I can't believe the sound has changed that much. Prehaps, it is because of the GoodAll caps. Anyway, I am going to keep both preamps since my cd player is not a good source. I want to wait until I get a good source before I decide which one to let go. Here is a pic of my amps! The silver item between the turntable and the cd player is the Pilot sp210 preamp (home version without cover!).

Diary: Reading a book in Barns and noble!

I just got back from Barns and Noble for my reading. I have been reading a book there about STYLE for about two months. I stayed there for 2 and half hours. When I left at 10pm, I had only 8 pages left to finish reading. I am so excited to see the ending of the book tomorrow. The book has total 426 pages and I am on page 419. I will go there again to finish my reading then I will start another book. What a good day!

Poem: Familiar!

Yesterday we shared, we talked, and we lived. He looks so familiar today but I don't know how he feels. Today I work, I sleep, and I waste, the person I loved yesterday has changed.

Photo: My tube Audio stuffs

Here are some of my tube audio stuffs. 1. KT88, 2. Pilot SP-210, 3. Pilot SA-232, 4. B&K 650, and 5. ISO transformer and Variacs.

Diary: Ebay!

First of all , I want to talk about last night. I got the time to listen to my tube amplifier Pilot SA-232 with Sp210. Each time when I listen to them, they are just simply amazing. The sound has energy and full of emotion. I can feel the peak of energy from Money's voice (female singer). I love the sound. I just feel Money is present in my living room. C.K Bucy came over earlier and gave me a B&K 650 tube tester. That thing is huge but it rocks. I just love it. It is working fine and I will be busy to try all my lovely Telefunken tubes in that tester. Too bad, the chart doesn't have a guideline for 6bq5 output tubes but I think I will get it online.
For today, I am glad that I sold three pairs of KT88 on ebay. I have those audio tubes for about 2 years. I have not been using those since I traded the Altec amp. I earned a bit of money off from them but I need to do more sales on ebay and to clean up my garage. I just have too many things. I also wrote a poem about guys. I tried to use the point of view from guys and make things interesting. Btw, I went to Yuko's home and got some Non-no from her. (Thanks for her help) I will be studying at them today and tomorrow and get ready for Saturday to take some more Protraits at Ranch Heritage. I asked Taka and Kumi from MSN to join me on Saturday. I hope they will come. I also posted a pic in Trek earth. Now I start getting more people to view my pics there. Good! I am planning to make a visit University Daily tomorrow to apply to be it's photographer. I hope everything is going to be ok. I need more $ to support my hobby.

Photo: Proud!

I re-adjusted the pic in PS. I think I like it this way. Do you?

Poem: Good Looking Big Muscle Guy

A good looking big muscle guy may find himself weak, small and helpless. Why? When a girl looks to him, she may move her eyes as fast as she can to the ground before he even notices.

Diary: VW Corrado!

I lost my mood to write my research about 3pm today. So I went outside my office to take some pictures. After awhile, I decided to go home early today to renew my registration for my rado. I have been trying to fix the car up for about a year. I think now it is stable enough for me to put the interior back. Once I got home, I took all the interior out from the garage and putting it back to the rado. Wow! It took me 4 hours to do the work. I I even missed the Eurpean Car Club tonight. Anyway, the rado is looking so good now. There are still some more work that I want to do with the engine but I guess I can take my time to do it later in summer. Now my rado can take 4 people. Great!

Poem: Life

Life is like a picture in photoshop. It can be bright, colorful, sharp, and focus or it can be sephia, dull, blur, and off-focus. Only myself can determine.

Diary: Want to write poems again!

Now it is 2am in the morning. I just got back from walmart after a quick grocery shopping. All of a sudden, I want to start writing my diary again. Particularly, I want to restart writing poems. I know I have not been writing poems for a very long time but I want to give myself a try. I guess it is a best way to express my feeling and my life. I make a goal that I will start posting my poems tomorrow and everyday afterward. Wrong Grammer is ok?
