Hmm.. one of my interests are DIY projects. Especially duct tape projects. One well known project is the duct tape wallet! I finished my first one back in June 07' but ever since the new school year, me and a couple of my friends have gotten into them. We even started selling them.



to the right we have... a duct tape rose I made for my homecoming date




















So this wallet, I made back in June 07'. i thought it was pretty sweet at the time. but you can tell that the glue started to come out, and it started to get really dirty. Simple design on outside. Simple pocket designs. OH yeah! and HOT PINK. *linux*

so im retiring this one





















So this wallet I made while in bio class, so cut me some slack. It actually turned out pretty good. What i wanted, sleek and slimmer. I added more pockets and experimented. awesome sticker don't you think. too bad it doesn't say "off the ASIAN"




















So I'm a fan of big bright neon colors! And i thought this one was pretty sweet. Neon green. This one got even slimmer by accident. but it turned out great. The design is... kind of simple, but im satisfied. I think i may have rushed this one.





So the wallet sizes compared to each other. Yeah, more wallets to come definitely. Me and my friends even have workshops. And our now distributing wallets at our high school.


A site for a beginners wallet if you're interested


Cheers!

Summer Movies 07'

Alright so, everyone said this was the season of threes. And its definitely true. I mean, Shrek 3, Spiderman 3, Pirates 3, Bourne Ultimatum, Rush Hour 3, Ocean's 13, and probably a lot more i can't think of at the moment. So during my summer break, I've seen eight movies so far. Not to mention I am going to see two more next Monday. And some I saw during the school year.

So here are just some of my opinions on movies.

Transformers. (saw this two times) Awesome. Enough said. This movie was great, i even saw it twice! It had humor, that cliche geeky boy meets hot girl storyline, and the United States Military. The action sequences are just so sleek and sexy. Being one of those boys who watched and played with transformers (even though I'm not from the 80s) it was really satisfying to hear Optimus Prime say "Autobots, fall out!" The one complaint i have with this movie, is the camera shots. They never have a wide shot, everything is close and zoomed in...


Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix. (saw this two times) This movie was satisfying. The only time I have touched one of these books is in like 4th grade. I read "the boy who lived", immediately put this down, and claimed that it was just bullshit. The movies at least are visually entertaining. Although it seemed complicated to me, other people complained that it was too short. Ehhhh it was good enough. One thing I just gotta say, Snape is one sexy son of a bitch.


Evan Almighty. I saw this movie at the beginning of summer break. You know... I'm kind of disapointed. After watching about half of Bruce Almighty, I went into the theaters thinking... Oh this is going to be hysterical. Hysterical, it was not. I found some parts funny, but barely laugh out loud. This movie is okay, not great. Leon and I agree that the funniest part is when the black chick says "You want me to get my BB gun?"


The Simpsons Movie. (saw this two times) Let me just say, I am a HUGE fan of The Simpsons. I have seen almost every episode, except maybe a few of the new ones. It sure was snazzy to have a promotional Kwik-e-Mart right in front of Shoreline. I am just pissed off that the cashier didn't say "Thank you, come again!" But anyway, back to the movie... This movie is joke after joke. After watching the trailer, i was thinking.. ehhh... But no! This is better than any episode. Seeing cartoon genitals is just too appealing to me. "Why pay for something, when you can get it on tv for free?" haha, you pay for this shit!!


Chuck and Larry. Hilarious! Nothing better than two funny guys like Kevin James and Adam Sandler acting gay. This was laugh out loud funny. Even the horribly done steryotype of the asian was funny. Its just crude humor all the way, but if you don't like that kind of stuff. Don't watch it.

Pirates 3. Welcome to Singapore. Yeah this was pretty good. Just complicated as hell! Seriously, whats the point of this Calypto thing. And what happens to Will at the end?.... Oh my god... Disney on crack. The battle was good. Drunk Jack is back better than ever. It was epic, although the first will always be the best.


Oceans 13. I'm not the biggest Ocean fan. But I liked this movie. I mean, look at all the hot guys. But seriously, don't be like me and go into this thinking there's action. Its all genius and at the end of the movie you're just like... Woah, they smart. Every character in this movie is loveable and enjoyable, especially that British Black guy.


And yeah, I'll be going to see Rush hour 3 on Monday, and I'll be hopping into Bourne later. If anyone wants to come, you could contact me. Hopefully more blogs to come..
