TGS 2011



Interesting thing in Japan there are alot of "booth babe/models" that are really just regular girls.  Case in point, at the Tokyo Game Show they probably hire some 2,000 girls to dress up as cute girls for various gaming booths.  One could call them models, but they are hardly models at all..  in fact many aren't even cute, but a commonality is they are all young.

My girlfriend is in this pic, she is a part time booth babe!  Weird I know..  its sick..  alas its my life.

I'm going to go to the show on Sunday thus will perhaps have more pics to share!

Goals for remainder of 2011

I realize I never wrote any goals this year..
looking back even in 2007 I had written goals on what I want to accomplish for the year.

Its something I like to do, and advised to others to do.. that way we can reflect and learn and see what we've achieved.

For remainder of 2011...
 - lose weight, i have pass 80kg which is kinda shocking..  really gotten fat suddenly
 - wake up earlier (i had this goal every year...)
 - sleep better (maybe help w/ waking up!)
 - travel more to new locations (rather than same old...)
 - stay technical, work on iphone app or do something !

Thats it!  Thats my goals.. keep it simple.

Its in the Jeans

Is it the shoes? Is it the jeans? No its really about the genes...

The old argument of nuture vs nature is one I hope they continue to research and evolve theories on. Its really fascinating.. I think most doctors believe in nature more, I know some doc families that are so into genetics that they refuse to let their daughter marry a PhD researcher because his dad had Cancer and they want to avoid the gene..

But watch Dr.House and you'll see, its a combo for all disorders. They look at family history first, then they look at env (they always search the house for mold/bacteria/etc).

Anyways I ponder as I have genes of issue.. should I really reproduce I wonder.. here i lay it out:
Good:
+ Relatively smart
+ Somewhat thoughtful and caring
+ Physically pretty good and athletic
Bad:
- Lazy & Indecisive
- Unable to commit to anything in life
- Low morale values
- Cancer and high BP genetics

Now if I were really good looking then I'd say surefire reproduce and make the world a prettier place... I guess my child wouldn't be a loser or drag on society.. but does the world really need more people?

Note nobody is pregnant, at least none of my doing. Just a random thought as I ponder life and the universe.

Update on the GF -- we are now at 3 months.. i find.. i like her.. But analysis:
Good:
+ cute and young
+ easy to get along with
+ has personality and her own opinion on things
+ relatively smart but not too smart (and doesn't think she's too smart!!)
+ physically good for bearing Spartan-like children
Bad:
+ watches too much TV
+ too young and naive
+ common ground for solid conversation lacking
+ not the sweetest more caring girl i know (she is nice, but not overly adoring as i'd like)
