[Pics] Halloween Nerdfest 2012

lilsusie — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 03:02:50 +0900

Well, I know it's November already but due to people being busy and Halloween falling on a Wednesday, Mr. and Mrs. Artosis decided to throw their party tonight at Casa de Stemkoski. Drinks, food, costumes and karaoke were enjoyed by all, as we all mingled about and nerded out together. Here's my picture dump of the evening.

Me, Sea and Liquid, Over the years <3

First and foremost, I want to say that I am so proud of my 'little brother' Bo Sung, better known to you guys as Liquid'Sea. He is a great person and a great talent and I hope that he achieves great success as a member of Liquid :) I first met Sea in early 2008 at a random Proleague match at the COEX studio. First time we met, January 4, 2008. What a terrible picture of both of us....

DISCLAIMER: There are spoilers from Proleague on 22 Sept --------- If you guys know me or have talked to me at an event before, you would know that I am an avid BW enthusiast, possibly elitist, if you will. I remember playing this game against my floor mates in 1999 via dial-up at my university dorms and watching games on TV in 2004. I remember watching BW live when they still had the stu...

The D Word.

So aside from all the traveling I have been doing this year, it has finally come to the point in my academic career to finish up and write my last research paper EVAR... my Dissertation. Title: The attitudes and perceptions of university students towards lecturers with non-native accents at an American university. Having been a student in an American university, I often had lecturers who ...

[Pics] IPL4 in Vegas baby, Vegas!

lilsusie — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 05:59:46 +0900

After a 20 hour travel day from Las Vegas (LAS -> ORD -> LHR), I slept for 18 hours and now here I sit, swamped in school work and backed up emails. But it was all worth it. :) I know I haven't been very active in the community ever since I left Korea; ever since BW days really. But this past event gave me back the tiny spark that I thought I had lost. What I love (and have always ...

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...

[Pics] My TL Birthday

lilsusie — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 12:05:36 +0900

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! Nerd Love Group picture at the bar. I don't even know how many people came and left, I'm gonna ass...

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...
