Authorities say the human remains found behind an Oakland high school last month belong to an 18-year-old former student. The remains of Johnikka Jackson were found near a crude shelter made of wood and sheets in a canyon behind Skyline High School. Some students came upon the bones Nov. 7 and brought them to the principal’s office. It’s still unclear how Jackson died. Police say they’re still trying to determine if foul play was involved.

Jackson’s father, John Jackson of San Francisco, says he filed a missing persons report after not hearing from her over the summer. The teen was living with an aunt while attending Skyline, but left before graduation and had been taking classes at Laney College

I got a new lens from Amazon, it’s the Canon 14-40mm F/4 L. I love how the L lenses produces great quality pictures, very sharp and colorful. Here are 2 test shots with Doyle. Looking forward to another photoshoot soon!

Church people didn’t change. The kids that used to scream and hated everybody all the time are not the same no more. They’re almost in college. Thought, I missed some people. Hope to see them again later!

Hmm… I went to Church for the first time in 5 - 6 years.

妈妈在年初的时候买了一大堆红色内裤托人带给我。靠！那些内裤很恶心，我尚未碰过。希望老妈别看到这篇，省得我被她唠叨。中国习俗说本命年会过得不顺利，据说会有很多不幸的小插曲捣乱。那我的本命年到底如何呢？我来做个早期的总结。马上就要生日了，意思是俺的本命年过完了吗？

今年虽说不太顺利，很多小小的烦心事：

• 美国金融危机，赚钱的目标与小型企业都穷死了。还是别自己下海了！
• 听说公司把我的医疗保险停了！费了20分钟的电话和一个礼拜的等候才查出原因。
• 地铁太慢、汽油太贵。弄得我有时候不想去上班！
• 拿了张停车违章的罚单（这当然也算！）。
• 七月四日，令我发脾气的一天。我停在红绿灯等候的时候被一个不小心的小朋友撞了屁股。我的爱车啊！~
• 这件事情不能说！保密。

可也有些值得庆幸的东西：

• 自我感觉越来越好了，觉得自己玉树临风、英俊潇洒。
• 年初找到了一份好差事，至今一切很顺利而且自己还是很喜欢。虽然是工作吧，可真不太像是在为钱买苦力，反而与国内很多长辈们的“贴饭碗”一般，非常的“大锅饭”。凭着自己的经验和耍些小聪明，我也能在这样的地方立足！呵呵呵！
• 好朋友从该死的南加州搬回来了。
• 工作之余做了两套私人项目，赚了些买菜的小钱。
• 收到政府的退税，买了个新的照相机！微笑中。。。

总体来看，今年还是不错地！

Guys! Stop adding all these applications to your facebook profile. Do you really know what the application is for? Do you really need them?

Don’t just add them because someone sent you a request. And, when you added a new app, stop sending it to ALL of your friends, too! I’m not gonna name names, but someone actually has a profile that crashed the browser on my 2GB RAM computer. You know who you are!

It’s now 2:31 AM, I wasn’t gonna blog today. Until something woke me up, something really annoying! You’re not going to believe that the fire alarm was triggered in my apartment building! Beep beep beep. So friggin loud that hurts my ears. Not just my unit but the whole building was on the BEEP!!!

This happened before, but usually the alarm goes off in a minute or two, this time it kept on going and going so I decided to walk out to see what the heck is going on. My neighbors took it very seriously, one lady grabbed her kid and a 75 pound Labrador. Looked like she was running for her life! I greed her with “Happy Holidays!” and she replied “I think we should go down stairs”. I was like “OK!”, went back to my room slipped into a heavy jacket, grabbed my dog, my iPhone and the keys in case if I have to drive to an nearby hotel for the night.

Nothing really happened, there’s a unit in 3rd floor caught on fire. I saw smoke came out of the windows but no signs of real fire. I think they might have burned their turkey, that’s all. 2 big’o fire engines showed up. Them 8 feet tall fire fighters took the elevators up to the 3rd floor (I thought you’re not supposed to use elevators during fire drills.)

awww… I’m going back to sleep! Thanks to the quick response of Fremont Fire Dept! Woohoo!

Remember in the old days? (well, in the 90’s) There were no blogs. Just pure HTML static sites called “Homepage”s with centered contents in markup lines like <font color=”blue”>Some Text</font> … Almost everybody with a homepage had this thing called “Guestbook” where visitors and friends often leaves messages. Wow! I really miss it!

Guestbook definition by WIKI:

A guestbook is a logging system that allows visitors of a website to leave a public comment. Traditionally, the term applied to the actual ledgers held, for that same purpose, at B&Bs and museums.

So, I’ve added a Guestbook on the left menu! Just to bring back some good’o memories. Click here to sign my Guestbook like how you used to!
