A dog park we go now has agility obstacles! This is the first time for Turbo to try them out. At first, he was a bit scared, but with treats and praises we could run through the obstacles within 20 minutes. It was so much fun not only for Turbo but also for us!




Cherry blossoms are blooming already in CA and it’s still February. Spring is here.



My Music Portfolio

Just decided to put my pieces together to create a portfolio…


Dropped my iPhone4 in the bath…

So last night, I dropped my iPhone in the bath filled with warm water. It was under the water for about a couple of seconds. Since this is not the first time that I dropped devices in the water (The first time it was my iPod Touch), I know what I needed to do… Dry it!!!

So first, I removed my iPhone case from the device. Then Dried the device with a towel. Turned the power off (the power didn’t go off by itself, which I thought is a good sign for me). Used table tissue to suck water inside of earphone jack and dock connector.

Then rested the phone in a ziplock filled with rice until I get Silica Gel, the magic moisture-sucking powder.

It sat there for the night, then I got Silica Gel for Dry flower Art from a local Michael’s first thing in this morning.

I filled Silica gel in tea bags. This is to avoid the powder touching the device directly (in case there’s chemical reaction).

Now the device is resting on Silica gel bed. (The Silica Gel bag on top of the device came in a bag of rice cakes.) It’ll be there for three days and I’ll try to turn the power on again to see if I could save it.

I actually checked the internet and confirmed that what I did was the right thing.  

I really hope this’ll work!!



Love, love, love this Hard-boiled Kirby!!

The song amazingly fits the video.




Sooo beautiful…. Sooo attractive…. I like MOTU for their interface design. I have Kontakt 4 so I’m eligible for their cross-grade discount.

Ooooh I really want to get this!!!!




I made an 8-bit sound arranged version of Naruga Kuruga’s Theme from Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

I transcribed by ear first (oh, it was a hard one!), then arranged it on Digital Performer using Magical 8bit Plug.

This version uses more than 3 sounds. So, it has a flavor of Nintendo game music, but not exactly sounds like it. 

However, I also created 3-sound version of the theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwd2XR18x28

This one is really close to actual Nintendo game music.




I’m totally fascinated by the instruments. The sound, the structure, the looks…. 

Now they turned into software sound module. It should be an honor to be able to play them on your computer, however I just thought they are fantastic in their instrument forms, not digital ones…..

That being said, if I could, I’d love to just try it on my DP…




Because it was very windy these days…



The light is very bright and beautiful. We both really like it.
