    Backyard Animals

    August 7, 2009 // 2 Comments »

    Today I saw a rabbit in my backyard for the first time!  I quickly ran in to grab my camera and took some shots.

    When I got closer the rabbit ran behind my compost.

    I also saw a squirrel.  It is common to find them, but this one was lying on the wooden fence. It is so cute.  At first the head was facing sideways which looked a lot cuter, but I guess the squirrel sensed me coming near.

    Playing with airsoft gun

    August 5, 2009 // 7 Comments »

    Oh man, what a sad day.  For the first time, I went to a different place to get my hair cut and I got the worst haircut in ages.  I am such a fool for cheaping out.

    Anyways, my friend came over to lend me his airsoft gun for me to test it out.  Once he left, I had another friend in my room so we went to my backyard to shoot some stuff.

    The joys of selling online

    July 24, 2009 // 2 Comments »

    I prefer selling stuff locally by using online classifieds, such as Craigslist, Kijiji, or RedFlagDeals.  It saves a lot of trouble wrapping up items and paying shipping.  But sometimes you got to resort selling outside of your city for more exposure.   That is where eBay or other forums come in.

    I hate paying eBay and Paypal fees. Such a pain in the ass.  Luckily for eBay, for every 30 days you can post 5 free listings!  Sweet! Time to start posting random crap I don’t need.  Depending on the item, I usually have a starting price of $0.99.   To come up with a shipping cost, I just pull out any random number from my ass.  Usually I set a low shipping price to make my listings attractive.   But, wouldn’t I lose money on the item if I set a low shipping cost and starting bid?

    That is where my mom comes in.  Instead of buying postage from the Postal Office, I use stamps.  The answer: my mom gets stamps from work.  If anyone bought something off me, then that answers your question to why the box was covered with stamps.  Sometimes the costs of shipping is greater than the total amount of the item sold, LOL.

    I don’t spend on packing materials since when I order stuff online, I just reuse the materials.  Only thing I have to buy is tape.  Whatever, I just go to the dollar store and buy a roll for $1 +tax.

    Additionally if I have to ship smaller items, I get packing envelopes for free from my friend who takes them from work.

    eBay is usually my last resort, or when I sell stuff that is hard to sell locally or elsewhere.  Do you sell stuff online?

    “Mom! I need more stamps!”

    Garage Kit 加油

    July 16, 2009 // 7 Comments »

    I have been so unmotivated to do anything right now.  I am just waiting for September.

    Today I decided to start working on my last garage kit.  I know ahead of time that I will definitely mess up the face.  It is so small.

    My week

    June 27, 2009 // 1 Comment »

    The other day I was at Chapters and was looking through the magazine section.  I saw Lyoto Machida on the cover of Fight Sport.  Since he is my favourite fighter, I ended up buying the magazine.  I didn’t read through the whole magazine yet, but I can say that they need someone to proofread it.

    2009 Convocation

    June 11, 2009 // 7 Comments »

    I just had my convocation yesterday evening.  I wasn’t looking forward to it.  And, after attending it, it was meh.  I didn’t take any pictures except with friends, and my mom had the camera the whole time.   We also came a bit late, so I didn’t have the chance to take random snap shots.

    training upgrade

    June 5, 2009 // 2 Comments »

    Oh baby! I bought myself a heavy punching bag from a friend for a very good price.  It is in good condition too.  Time to train UFC and get myself a shitle tot!  I didn’t even think where I can hang it.  I just bought it once he told me about it.

    Luckily my backyard has a tree with some old branches that I can hang it.  And, there is shade!
