Flashback: My shadow
Thomas: Take a picture of my shadow.
Ruiz: It’s too dark, I can’t see anything.
Thomas: Use the flash.
Ruiz: …
Lol, happy birthday Thomas.
Class is not in session.
My first class was cancelled today, which is stupid. I’m tired but I still put forth the effort to barely make it to the classroom just to find out that I didn’t have to be there. Sure the message on the door read “Class is cancelled today”, but that’s just the technical message. The real message is saying “HA! You could’ve stayed home and slept in!! Gotcha! Yeahh boii!!” Seriously, could these professors at least try to send a mass email or something? SMS? Hell, I don’t know. So yeah, now I’m in the library typing this up because I have nothing better to do and my eyes are killing me. Don’t you hate this kind of situation when you’re on campus and you have nothing to do for a long time? What do you do during this time?
I had an appointment yesterday for an examination to get my wisdom teeth removed. Insurance is putting a delay on the procedure because they can’t provide an exact estimate as to how much they’re paying so I have to wait for a few weeks. Thank god my teeth are in no pain though. My friend said I’ll end up looking like a chipmunk after the procedure is done. Are my cheeks really going to swell that bad? If you had your wisdom teeth removed already, what was it like? Was it smooth and easy, or rough and painful? Did you look like a chipmunk? :]
So I did a little tweaking to the site in the past few days. Nothing big, just a few tweaks and minor upgrades. It’s hard to notice if you don’t visit often, but just enjoy it anyways. If you have been visiting though, one thing you’ve probably noticed is that I changed the top banner picture, which reminds me. Last night, I went out with a few friends to take photos on campus. Thomas, Jasmin, Matt, and I spent nearly 3 hours taking a whopping 527 photos. Even after deleting bad test photos and blurry screw-ups, there’s still over 200 photos that looked pristine. The photos I like are posted here. I’m going to leave them untouched for now but who’s to say that I could be using them for something in the future, there’s just so many good ones. Soon you’ll probably be seeing similar gallery sets either on their Facebook accounts or on Jasmin’s Blog. Be sure to view them over there too when they post them up and show some support! It took us a lot of effort (especially the last ones) to take these so that you all can enjoy them. So view and appreciate. Thanks!
Oh, and eff Windows 7. I just got called into work because of the stupid launch. fml.
That Damn Facebook Picture!!!
Have you seen this picture? If you use Facebook often, then chances are that you have.
You may have even been tagged in it by one of your friends! With a wide variety of stereotypes and it’s intriguing School House Rock type illustrations, Facebook users are quickly snatching this picture from their friends profiles and posting it up as their own. It’s taken over Facebook by storm (though the storm will eventually pass). Everybody loves this picture, it allows them to be expressive and complementary to their friends at the same time.
I beg to differ though..

So I bought a tripod today. Since I’m getting into this whole YouTube/Video Maker trend, I figured what the heck, might as well buy one for my dinky little camera. For some reason my phone kept crashing whenever I browsed through my messaging inbox. I don’t think it’s auto-erasing messages properly. I thought I’d use this oppurtunity to try out my tripod and see how well it holds up. It does a good job, much better than using shaky hands or stacking a bunch of boxes to put the camera on, lol. I don’t have any professional editing software or anything (yet), this was all done in Windows Movie maker. And I’m sorry about the voice static, my mouth must’ve been too close to the mic when I was recording. I swear it sounded okay before I uploaded it!
