Day 31 - X-Treme Gulp



Woke up, checked texts, checked emails, etc, all of those usual stuff. Then pops came home and he wanted to go to the library. So, we decided to bike to the library. It was literally, a five-minute bike ride. Super close, sub one mile ride.  On our way back, I remembered this X-Treme Gulp cup that I left on the top shelf a while back. Filled it up for $1 at 7eleven!! I need to start using this thing more.

Day 30 - Cold Blooded


So I got up today and decided to get some home grown lychee off the tree, and bam. I see this dude chillin' on the side. Snapped a couple pics using a 50mm f/1.8. I was planning for quite some time to get a 50mm f/1.4 this summer, but yeah. No hours, no money, no lens. Boo hoo.

And finally, it's starting to cool down after a crazy hot heat wave. Lizards have it so easy; sunbathe during the day, sleep at night. No need to worry about work, school, bills, etc. Lmao. Life of a lizard!



Skip to 0:48 to see it run LOL

Day 29 - Blu




My afternoon nap was cut short due to these three dudes--chillin' on the wall doing their usual bird noises. I looked outside from my window and saw that all three guys had a tag on their left leg, so I got my camera ASAP and was fortunate to snap a couple pictures. Super annoying, but I guess birds will be birds. "If I'm a bird, you're a bird." LOL jk!

Birds have been on my hate-list for quite some time now, but after watching the movie Rio, IMDB rating of 7.1, I'm indifferent. I really wouldn't mind having a blue macaw, or even a scarlet macaw! Pretty good movie in my opinion, definitely a movie worth checking out.

I tried making one of the birds blue like in Rio; it looks somewhat blue, sorta.

Check out the short clips!

Day 28 - Spark Plugs Galore



Just got some new NGK Iridium IX spark plugs for my dad's civic today. I didn't realize that we had that many old spark plugs until now. God, that is a lot!! 

Regular versus inverted colored picture. Looks sorta cool I guess. 

P.S. To anyone who's reading this and using a Honda lawnmower: you can use any NGK spark plug, add a washer (since most spark plugs of lawnmower's threads are much shorter), and it'll run way smoother! Just an fyi btw.

Day 27 - Hot n' Cold

 
Again, it's super hot today, but I'm stuck here thinking about snow. Burton just released their 2012 gear a couple weeks back, and my Transworld 2012 Gear Guide just arrived yesterday. This is probably the thickest/most informative issue throughout the year.

And the best part is, there's a  90% chance of a winter break in Montreal after fall quarter! Hello Bromont!! Hopefully I'll be able to find a decently priced 2011 CustomX by then--with new bindings, boots, and gear. And then there's wax, lift tickets, rental car, gas to get there, etc... Oh man, so much $$$$$$$$$$$...

Humor me. LOL!
