it's my first time shopping at newegg. even after hundreds of thousands of people praised them for their prompt RMA services, reliable/fast shipping, and great customer support, i've always shopped else where for a slightly better deal, price-wise.

so a few days ago i found a really good deal on newegg on the dvd burner i've been wanting to get. ordered it, and expected it to arrive in 3-4 days (since newegg consistently deliver their products days AHEAD of schedule). it's been 4 days, and the item tracking page still shows my purchase being processed in the warehouse. maybe newegg wasn't all that great after all.

and then i received this email:

now, i can confidently say that i'm beyond satisfied with my purchase, whether it's online or in retal stores. newegg has won my loyalty as a customer, and i'll be seriously thinking twice before i shop anywhere else ever again.

now i am itching to find out what "small gift" they've got for me =)

Red Sox breaking the 86 year old curse... total lunar eclipse... my blog breaking 1k views...

is it the end of the world?!?

i remember when i started blog a year ago, that i was full of energy about posting here on a daily basis about random shiznit that nobody give a damn cept me =)

over the year, the posts were made less frequent, blogs less funny (if they ever were), and less time devoted to this.

and it's hard to be energetic when it's 1/4 past 5 and you've got 3 midterms in the next 12 hours.

sleep, or the lack of, is the least of my concerns.

EE r0x0rz my b0x0rz to the m4x0rz.

* lets out a sarcastical "yay!" *

maybe it's time to pull the plug.

this blog, that is; not my life. i'm not that crazy... yet. =)

at least i'll be houston bound this weekend. always something to look forward to in life.

Sum 41 - "We're All To Blame"

Take everything left from me
All!
To!
Blame!

How can we still succeed, taking what we don't need?
Telling lies, alibis, selling all the hate that we breed.
Supersize our tragedy! (You can't define me or justify greed)
Bought in the land of the free! (Land! Free!)

And we're all to blame,
We've gone too far,
From pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
We're hopelessly blissful and blind
It's all we are,
We want it all with no sacrifice!

Realize we spend our lives living in a culture of fear.
Stand to salute; say thanks to the man of the year.
How did we all come to this? (You can't define me or justify greed)
This greed that we just can't resist! (Resist!)

And we're all to blame,
We've gone too far,
From pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
We're hopelessly blissful and blind
It's all we are,
We want it all.
Everyone wants it all with no sacrifice!

Tell me now, what have we done? We don't know.
I can't allow what has begun to tear me down,
Believe me now, we have no choice what with our
Backs against the wall!

And now we're all to blame,
We've gone too far,
From pride to shame,
We're hopelessly blissful and blind
When all we need
Is something true
to believe,
Don't we all?
Everyone, everyone,
We will fall.

'Cause we're all to blame
We've gone too far,
From pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
We want it all,
Everyone, don't we all?
