IPL3 - I guess SC2 ain't so bad

lilsusie — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 22:52:14 +0900

A lot of people have been asking me about this. Why am I back in the community? I’m not sure myself. It all started with Smix and Milkis who told me about a translator opening for IPL3. At the time, Smix and I were trying to plan another get-together and she suggested that I do this event even though I was uninterested during that time. "We can hang out in AC together!" she said and...

I move to keep things whole.

I would like to think that I am a traveler. According to the TravelBrain app on facebook, I've been to 8% of the world's countries. I like to think that I am an adventurer, a learner of new experiences, an explorer. Having said that, I have also never been apprehensive or scared to take on a new world, new challenges and to meet new people. But as I pack to spend the next year of my life in ...

[Pics] Dino Taco

lilsusie — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 17:17:03 +0900

Hey all. It's been awhile since I wrote my last blog. So, I just got back from Thailand yesterday and of all things I could buy, I bought my dog a costume. "What are you doing to me?" As you can see, he was not that happy wearing it. To make him feel a bit better about looking ridiculous, I decided to get in my dinosaur costume too. I'm not sure if it actually helped him fee...

First, thanks to everyone who came out! It was a great night of meeting new people and talking about how SC1 is so awesome compared to SC2 ;) And without further ado, here are some pictures: Dinner group pic (Sea had to leave to practice for next week's MSL) My cakes!

Hello, all! It's been about a year since I got my Yorkshire Terrier, Taco! He is quite possibly the best thing evar, next to his sister, Ruby who is an almost-3-year-old Maltese. Here are my previous 2 blogs about Taco, including baby pictures and videos. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=120034 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=130077 It's been awhil...

... are cute. Yes, they are supposed to be ferocious monsters with sharp claws and teeth but I've always thought that they are cute puppy like creatures, nibbling away at enemies. With that in mind, I asked one of my amazingly talented, crafty friends from middle school if she could make me one so that I could take it to bed with me. Here's what she created: He...

[Pics] NYC TL Meetup #3

lilsusie — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 16:42:57 +0900

Another wonderful evening with great people and nerdy conversations. :) Several of us got there early in hopes we can get a table but unfortunately we needed at least 50% of the party present in order to even get on the wait list. So around 7:30pm we gathered 18 and headed in. It was a Friday night, Times Square... the wait was pretty ridiculous. After talking to a manager, etc. we were able...

[Pics] TLHQ / Mini Meetup

lilsusie — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 01:37:11 +0900

I finally got to visit the TL HQ last week. It was a lot nicer than I thought it would be! R1CH's computer really does look like the matrix; I was scared to use it because I felt that TL (and the internet) would explode if I pressed something wrong. >.< Some locals decided to meet up for a quick dinner and tea (though I just realized I didn't take any pictures of the tea place - or of ...

Happy Halloween!

lilsusie — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 16:02:14 +0900

Went out with Liquid'Jinro among other friends last night for Halloween and met a guy who looked like [tlpd#players#326#Z]YellOw[/tlpd]. Being at an English speaking pub really made me miss Halloween back at home. I brought a ton of candy with me and gave them out to everyone and by the end of the night, everyone at the bar shared shots. It was an atmosphere that almost let me believe that I...

[Photos] More Taco the puppy

lilsusie — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 23:33:23 +0900

My blog is not about the t9 feature on American phones. Rather, just an update about my puppy. It's been 2 months since he's been home and he is now about 20 weeks old (5 months), weighing in at 2.2kg (4.8lbs). He was about 700 grams when we first got him. (Original blog: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=120034) Here are some updated pictures/vid to show you guys...

This is Taco, he is almost 3 months old. We brought him home yesterday and he's already pretty good about peeing on the puppy pads that are around the house. :) Can even melt the heart of Mr....

D'aww, HB wish from Sea

lilsusie — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 23:58:58 +0900

I invited out a few friends for dinner and drinks this friday night for my birthday, Sea (Bosung) being one of them. He texted me this morning saying that he can't make it because he has games on Sat and Sunday. Later this evening he called to tell me to look something up on naver - he had done an interview for fomos and dailyesports.com and that he mentioned me in it. Apparently, he said, f...

Blizzard Year-End Party

lilsusie — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:11:22 +0900

Amidst the craziness of work and organizing shirt sales, I was invited to Blizzard Entertainment's Year-End party at Club Heaven last week. Honored by the invite, I made sure that I could make it. They had rented out the entirety of Club Heaven and decorated it with statues and banners (I wish I took more pictures of that!) and they even had an employee only SC2 tournament which was awesome to ...

Two Years.

lilsusie — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:01:37 +0900

As much as Jamie (ToTMidiaN) hates taking and being in pictures, knowing my passion for photography, he surprised me with a Canon 40D camera for our two year anniversary.

lilsusie — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:32:38 +0900

Went out to the mountains with some friends this weekend. It was FREEZING by 4pm. After comparing all the pictures I took with my point and shoot and my friend Tom's Canon 30D... I'm gonna post his pictures first. It's amazing what a difference in quality our pictures are! All pictures courtesy of my friend Tom Lim (aka Ryder): This is where we stayed Friday night. It was a cabin in the w...

[Photo] IEF Weekend!

lilsusie — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:09:09 +0900

*VERY PHOTO HEAVY* I didn't get to spend as much time with the nerds as I wanted because this is the busiest season for me in terms of real life work - but amidst all the hustle and bustle, I was able to head down to IEF for 2 days. But first: Jamie and I arrived at around 9pm when the SHINee concert was still going on. Nerds at the hostel in Suwon. Honestly, when there are in...

10 Year HS Reunion Preparation

lilsusie — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:51:36 +0900

Well, it's not just yet, I have about 3 months before I fly back to Jersey to see kids I graduated with back in 1999. However, I realize that I no longer have my 18 year old body and have taken initiative to get it back: got myself a personal trainer for the next 3 months. Currently, as of 8/26/2009, I'm a little pudgeball at around 62kg (136lbs) and standing at 162cm (5'3) Yes, I know, I...

Goodbye Summer

lilsusie — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:49:16 +0900

I know, I know, it's still August. The air is still thick with humidity and girls are still in short shorts and high heels. However, now that the application season is getting into full swing and my students are all scurrying to get their last minute meetings in before they leave for the States/Canada/Europe, the back-to-school feel (that will never ever leave me, not matter how many years out ...

All-you-can-eat STEAK

lilsusie — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:40:16 +0900

MMMMMMMM. SOOOOO. GOOOOOOD. Just as the title states, we went to this restaurant called Brazilia that serves unlimited steak. Our reservation was for 7:30pm on July 30th but due to a series of mishaps (rather, due to *SOMEONE* not having a phone or knowing how to walk straight for 5 mins) we didn't end up eating until 8:20. heh. Anyways, less talk, more steak and pictures. Introducin...

Dinner and Drinks with Sea[Shield]

lilsusie — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:04:32 +0900

Since the pro teams are on break now and most of the players have off I was finally able to get Sea out from the abyss that is Mokdong. His family actually lives in the eastern part of Seoul, so he was able to come out to Kangnam, where we usually hang out. In the pouring rain, Jamie, Shaun and Dan went out to meet up with Bosung at the subway exit around 7pm while I waited for them at the r...
