Brief outage will occur until the new website is in placed. It's taking long due to unexpectedly busy month. So with that in mind see you soon. Oh, by the way, thanks for whoever gave my number to the telemarketers. I had pretty interesting time answering all those calls. December 23 , 2002: I've added a christmas compliation so enjoy and have a happy holiday and see you next year! p.s. click sound icon to access the control menu December 22 , 2002: So far my new streaming player is functioning without any error. In case you encounter any problem, drop me an email. December 20 , 2002: Well, this year is coming to an end in a hurry. I wonder if I accomplished anything this year. Well I still got a little over a week to contemplate before urshering the new year. I had an incident which requires more space to write so with that in mind click here for more detail. December 6 , 2002:
November 27, 2002: Thanksgiving, time to reflect... your image in the mirror to see how many pounds you will be gaining. LOL. After last night's pre-Thanksgiving dinner I'm ready to burst already. Thanks Troy for your warm hospitality in your new home. Martha, your cooking was... well, Hmmm Hmm Good! Everyone have a safe, joyful Thanksgiving! Gobble gobble. November 21, 2002: Few of my church friends got offended by the game I posted couple of days ago. So the link is no longer available. I guessed it was insensitive of me to post something like that. But who knew they visit my websites. My sincere apology for any discomfort I may have caused. November 20, 2002: Well the spectacular meteor shower turned out to be a dud... at least from where I was at. We ended up going to this city farm area instead of Joshua Tree National park. I only saw one falling star while my friends saw four at the most. It's a good thing we ate sushi and slept alittle before we went, cause it was COLD! Overall it was cool to see some stars and figuring out some constellations. November 16, 2002: Here is the link to a funny game. If you are sensitive to violence and sexual contents please stay away from it. Game November 13, 2002: There will be some amazing shooting stars on Tuesday night. It's called the 2002 Leonid Meteor Shower. Try seeing this somewhere dark away from the city lights. Yamaha r-6 is sold. Thanks. November 8, 2002: It's good to hear the rain drops again. Finally after 8 months of no rain... seems like eternity. Now I can learn how to snowboard. Can't wait. November 6, 2002: Well what do you know. The Yamaha R-6 motorcycle is now available AGAIN. If you are an experienced cyclist and a serious buyer, please contact me. November 5, 2002:
The Yamaha R-6 motorcycle is no longer available. It was sold last Saturday. Thank you for your interest. October 28, 2002:
October 21, 2002: My brother is selling his Tundra and his motorcycle. Anyone who is interested, please email me. 2000 Toyot Tundra with 50k mile... has 100k warranty... limited edition. Asking price, 30k. Click here for pics and info. 2002 Yamaha Yzf-r6. Only 770 miles. Asking price $6500. Click here for more info. October 15, 2002: Eko Cementek flash intro. October 14, 2002: Amazon website is finished. August 18, 2002: Just finished a interactive cd-rom for villa hotel in San Francisco. I got to revisit that hotel again... it was so nice. Sad news... my brother lost "Gizmo," our beloved kitten. He apparently went awol when my brother left the screen door open. This happened about three days ago when I was away. Sighhhhh. I gonna miss him. All that work of bottle feeding and playing... it's gone forever. Hmmmm... I guess we just need to get another kitten.... maybe a puppy this time. August 5, 2002: One day fishing was a success. I caught two yellow tails in 20 minutues. My buddies bagged 5 each with albacores and yellow tails. I could have caught more but the sea sickness kept me at bay. Another news, Laker's legendary announcer Chick Hearn passes away. Here is more info July 16, 2002: Happy Third Anniversary. July 12, 2002: New day is coming. July 11, 2002:3pm I Just killed an AOL account for the third time in 5 years. They keep on overcharging me. Am i the only one having this problem? Even when I dispute it, they won't give me credits. Aol must be doing bad financially cause they were pretty good about giving credits. Bummer. Please forward future emails to mkuci@hotmail.com, or mike@telagraphic.com. Thanks a bunch. July 11, 2002: I think I got burned again by another imcompetent customer. I don't think I want to take in any jobs from new clients. Sighhhhhh. July 2, 2002: Happy B-day America. Hope you have many more years to come and shower us with parades, fireworks, bar-b-ques, and variety of other festivities. June 18 , 2002: So peaceful when you are outdoor. I think this was one of the best camping/hiking trip I ever took. Especially when you go by yourself. Well, back to reality once again. Time to do some works. June 6 , 2002: Finally finished moving. It's amazing how much junk one accumulates over time. Time for garage sale seems imminent. Another news, I was let go from my company last week. But they still wants me to work as a contractor. The Beta version 1- Technical Presentation cd-rom was released last week and so far it got some good reviews. Top companys such as Boeing, TRW, JPL , and Northrop had seen it and they were impressed by it. The final version will be released end of this month. Since all the efforts went into this project, the web updates won't be happening until next month. I could really use some breather. I watched Laker's game today and it seems they will repeat championship once more. May 28 , 2002: My dad was diagnosed with a benigh tumor in his liver. Although it is non- threatening, it gave a quite a scare to my family. So we as a family decided that after his operation, he should take some time off and relax. I think he said he will be going to Korea for two months. May 20 , 2002: If you received an email from me please ignore it and delete it. My email address was used to send unknown attachments. May 11 , 2002: You know what day is tomorrow. Be good to your mother. And try to show some love by taking her out. If not, just give her a big hug and say how much she means to you. Happy Mother's Day Mom! May 9 , 2002: I guess you are pretty much powerless to dictate what you want to do with the company projects. The web site won't be posted until all the changes are made... by the order of who I can't say his name. Apparently the company got a huge order for this month so they decided to prolong my stay here. Let's see how much we can contribute eachother. As one of my co-worker puts it, "It doesn't matter what happens within the company. As long as they deposit that weekly check into my account. So milk eachother as long as you can." I chuckled on that one. What ever happened to job security though? April 29, 2002: As you may have noticed, the pci website is still not updated. I encounter several script problems with Mac explorer and they need to be addressed to. There are content changes as well. So it looks like I may have to stay on little longer... until this Friday perhaps. This sucks. Waiting for inevitable. It especially bothers you when you know the outcome of the story. Got to focus on my resume. That's all it matters. Cheers! April 27, 2002: I'm in a final debugging stage for the technical presentation and the pci website. As of now, both projects seem to be compatible and stable with internet exploere 4 and the netscape 4. I will need to test them on Macintosh browsers, including mac aol and windows aol. Since time is limited, I might let go imcompatibility issue with non explorer browsers. But I want to make sure it goes trouble free with mac explorer. Since I don't have my g4 anymore, this will have to wait until Monday. Sorry. April 24, 2002: We just had a massive layoff. Most of my friends and co-workers that I know are gone. And some of them even volunteered to leave. Bastards. I hate to see them go. It feels strange to learn how they were walked out. "Like criminal", one of my friend said. Such irony. They accept you with open arm when hired, but walk you out restrained. Maybe I don't cut out to work in a company. I sure learned some valuable lessons. There are back stabbings, lots of them. One person in particular comes into mind. Well, he's gone too so why even bother. I'm so tired. I think I will head home early. Can't seem to concentrate on work. My last day is coming up fast. I need to get away from it all. April 17, 2002: Well, it's official. I got my two weeks notice. Good thing I have close friends from upper managements. They've been caring enough to give me head's up about a month ago. MY company is downsizing due to loss of profit and no sales. I don't blame the company nor do I resent the owner in anyways. It's part of the business. Since I don't make circuit boards I'm part of "non essential" marketing group. I've been really busy wrapping up on the current projects. I don't feel right leaving so many projects unfinished. Besides, I need my resume. So I am happy to say that by end of this month, I will have a website completed and the technical presentation cd-rom done. There are other projects I've already finished. Those will be added on to my new upcoming website. The last two weeks of the company suppose to be relaxing. But I guess it's not going to happen. Bummer. I think I want to take about a month off. I want to go cross-country and see the upper part of the US. Maybe even take a little detour to Canada and see the underground city of Montreal. Perhaps even a longer detour and see my bud in South Beach Florida. April 3, 2002: How funny. I can't seem to walk straight. I didn't know having an ear infection will make you loose balance. It sure scared the heck out of me when my ear started to bleed. And when I turn my head I can feel my sinus fluid moving. Errh... Cool! It's exciting to have an ear infection for the first time. Now I need to Sleep. My medication is kicking in. April 1, 2002: I don't have any surprise for the April fools day. Bummer. I'm so overwelmed by the extra works that it's no fun coming home from work anymore. I may have over done on the contract jobs. March 30, 2002: Hope everyone had a nice Easter Sunday. On Saturday, I went to Asian Jubilee. Although this was for "Asians" only, a lot of "asian wanna be" showed up. So it was a diverse gathering. We had a very interesting guest speaker named Peter Quin. Some of the funny quotes he used was MIT(made in taiwan), U.S. born Asians as BANANNA(yellow outside but white inside), COCONUTS(philipino brown skin outside, white inside), and last but not least, FOB(fresh off the boats). I'm quoting these out of context so don't jude the speaker as a racist. Those quotes were part of the sermon and let me tell you, it was funny. I've been looking for a church to go to and I think my search is over. People are so friendly that it is uncommon to see them hugging one another. The event was a big success. Some of the other highlights were solo pianist, traditional asian dances, group hip-hop dance, solo singer, contest with prizes, and my favorite, kung foo skit. I've ordered the audio tape and hopefully I can secure a video tape also. I will upload them on the web so you can see what I saw that night. March 22, 2002: I just got signed on as a web developer for V'Montegrande Inc., an agency that caters to the medical communities. I'm also working with Ocean Heart Production Inc. to revamp their website along with catering to their client lists. A premium project from V'montegrande will give me little time to finish my website. It will have to wait until I get this job out of the way. March 12, 2002: I have a good news and a bad news. The good news is that I got my laptop back. It turns out one of my co-worker took my laptop. The bad news is that my web files are corrupted. There seems to be a bad sector in my hard drive. The web files, or folder I should say, refuses to open. I will give it try until tomorrow to retrieve the files. If unsuccessful, I am behind 2 days of work. And no, I did not make a backup for those updates. March 06, 2002: This sucks. My Dell laptop was stolen from me yesterday at my work. And I just bought that too. Since it was my personal computer, I don't think the company will reimburse me. Crap, crap, crap. This month is starting to be a real pain in the butt. February 20, 2002: I can't imagine other designers working 9-5 job and doing freelance jobs after. Well, I'm doing it and I shouldn't complain. One of my friend got laid off last Friday. I feel bad for him. I want to cheer him up but he wants to be left alone. Man, this economy sucks. I will try to help him out... anyway I can. In the mean time I am working... and finding a little breather to update my old aging website. It was suppose to get refaced every year. I haven't updated some of the news, links, and current works that I've already done. Man, I feel so irresponsible. But I do have a good reason. After 8 hours of work, doing nothing but starring at the monitor, one would be crazy enough to spend another minute looking at it. I definitely need some R&R but the work awaits me. And I MUST FULLFILL MY BINDING CONTRACTS TO FINISH WHAT I WAS HIRED TO DO. Sounds corny huh! I do this every now and then to wake my mind up from drifting into the deep abyss of 19" screen. Somtimes I can see the scan lines when I close my eyes. :) Hmmmm. I don't see myself doing this hectic schedule forever. But I feel I must do this while I'm still young. Does anyone read this? Oh well, we will soon find out. Next update will have a flash guestbook. I encourage people to sign in and leave some feedbacks. When is this new update? Don't have any time frame but I think I need about 40 hours of uninterrupted work. September 25, 2001: I purchased a ticket to NY today. I will be there for a week. I just wanted to visit and pay my respect to those who lost their lives. September 20, 2001:
I have always wanted to see the WTC... now it's gone forever. September 11, 2001: I've
gone the whole gambit of emotion. I've cried, I've gotten angry, I've
gotten afraid. August 17, 2001: It's been over a month since my last update. I've added my "studies" and my "works"... finally. I kinda like how they turned out. I
especially like the video part in "studies". Just
look for this logo I also updated my portfolio with interactive cd-rom section so go and check it out. Oh, this girl Leanne... she can sing. If any of you understands philippino check this out. July 2, 2001: I had couple of comments on the menu location. So I made it easier to see. Flash version of this site is nearing completion, along with the artworks and studies sections. Any comments about this website is welcome so email me. |

Ahhh...
What A Game that was! Lakers came back from a 30 points defecit and
beat Dallas Mavericks, the current best team in the league. I had
almost tears in my eyes. It was like watching the championship game.
Heck that was a championship game period. And to think that we almost
left during the half-time. Go Lakers!
I
went to Pixar Studio and had chance to see some of their works. Here
is their new upcoming animation 
movie
Our
Anaheim Angels finally became the World Champions. Well done Angels!
I
don't think I have fully recovered from the last week's event. I am
thankful that my friend is safe along with her family. But I am still
worried for them? I just don't know why.
