The One Time My Home Team Wins

UCLA vs. Cal
Rose Bowl
October 2005

I was wrong! There was one time that I did go to a game and my team actually won. Hehe, what a crazy game. We had to sneak in with our old IDs, we ended up sitting with some pretty annoying undergrads, and after the game I wanted to cry b/c we had wandered through the makeshift golf course parking lot for nearly an hour and we still couldn't find my car!

But...it was all worth it b/c we won! :) I wish I coulda been there to watch us beat 'SC though. That would have totally made up for all the times I sat through games that we eventually lost.

Teemu!

Kings vs Sharks
2002-2003 season

This was when Teemu was a Shark. Staples Center staff are pretty cool. They let us nosebleed peons all the way down to ice level to take pictures prior to the game.

My friend got bragging rights b/c the Sharks won that night. My home teams never seem to win when I attend! UCLA vs. Oregon, UCLA vs. Oregon State, Dodgers vs Marlins, Padres, Mets, Mariners...etc etc. Anyways, I had to clean up this photo a bit, but it turned out pretty nice for an action shot, yeah? I want to attend more hockey games but 99.9% of my so-cal friends don't like hockey. :(

Anyhoo, it's Stanley Cup time and the Ducks have a 1-0 series lead over the Senators! Good thing I am not attending any games in person or they might lose. :) PS. Teemu is a Duck again!

Wedding prep
Brampton, Ontario
August 2005

As a wedding gift, my cousin's sister-in-law-to-be offered to do flowers. We were making the bouquets when we found this! I had never seen two buds within a single flower. How pretty is this! I wish I had taken a clearer picture though but at that time I wasn't particularly picky about the quality of my shots. :P

Right place, right time! No way could this be posed. :)
This mockumentary cracks me up!

See you in September

Royce Hall, UCLA

Guest photoist: P

I actually can't take credit for this picture. P and I were on campus on day and he went crazy with my camera and took so many pictures of Powell, Royce, Ackerman, Janss Steps, etc. It was like seeing a kid in a candy store; he was literally scampering around campus! This was my favorite shot from that day.

I'm satisfied that I've finally moved into a place where I can reflect back and not be sad/mad anymore. It's taken a bit of time and maturity on my part. So instead of regretting the past, I'm able to be appreciative of all the happy moments I had with him.

Anyhoo, the reason for this particular photo on this particular day is that I will be a graduate Bruin this fall! :)
