Halloween !

It's my first Halloween in America so I'm really excited ! We have a Dance Party at Comstock tonight and everyone has to dress up so it's gonna be fun !
I don't have any experience about Halloween so I had no idea what I want to dress like . My roommate is gonna dress like riddler (the evil in batman who wears clothes full of question marks) . I would have to say , his costume is awesome ! He suggested me that I can be a pirate so I bought my stuff in Mall of America . I;m looking forward to the party ---- my first Halloween party !
Have fun !

I may fail in DHA 1201 ....

DHA 1201 is my major course , which is all about fashion industry . It's interesting but difficult because there are too many specialized words for me and it's really hard to memorize all of them . I think I work hard in both class time and outside school hours , but I didn't do well in my midterm and my quiz . I don't know why . I know those answers before tests but I just can remember them in tests ! I'm confused , what am I gonna do ? I can't fail it or I'll lose my chance to switch my major to Graphic design . I have to get at least a C !

I'll work harder , I don't want to fail it and retake it next semester ....!

My student group starts !

I want to set up my own student group ---- EC(E-sports Club) . I used to name it MEU but I think EC would be easier to memorize . But I can't find enough people so now it is only an embryonic form and I named it DC(Dota Club) . Dota is my favorite computer game ---- technically it's not a game , it's a map of Warcraft 3 . Now I have 10 people in my group including a Burmese who can help me find more Americans or international students except Chinese (I can find Chinese by my own). Also , as a member in CSU(Chinese Student Union) , I can ask them for help is I have some problems such as lack of money for advertisements . I believe I can make it ! It is the first game group in U of M and I'll be the leader .

We live with games , not by games !

MEU

I want to set up a computer games group ----MES(Minneapolis campaus E-sports Union) . "We live with games , not by games ." I like to play computer games so I want to play with more people , not matter Chinese or students from any other country . If I can set it up successfully , I'll origanize games in Coffman (like Mississippi room) and we play Dota or CS together . I think it would be fun . But it depends if I can make it .

I have been here for 1 month and a half ....

Just so you know , I have never been America before . I used to think America is a paradise which is full of happiness . But after I got here , I don't feel this way anymore because I can't understand every word people said . That is hard for me who is an international student .
Now I have been here for 1 month and a half and I think I already get used to live here . I found Americans are really polite and friendly . They always say sorry or excuse me in order to show politeness . Although they are nice , I can hardly make a good American friend here . I have many Chinese friends and we always hang out together . But here , we just do what we want to do separately . I think friends should always be together , obviously , what I think is different from Americans' thought .
I like here , and I also like the difference between here and China . I like the new life here .

One Piece

One Piece is my favourite manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, that has been serialized in Weekly (sometimes it stoped one or two weeks ).One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy who gained supernatural abilities (he can stretch every part of his body sucn as legs or arms like rubber)by eating a magical fruit called demon fruit which looks like a pineapple . He has his own ragtag crew of heroic pirates, named the Straw Hats because he always wears a straw hat . He wants to be the king of pirates in his world so he started his journey in One Piece , which is a sea area only finished travelling by the old king of pirates . Luffy got some strong partners with special skills in different areas . He is gonna fight with navy , World Government and other pirates !

Now is show time !

Defense of the Tower Ancients

DotA was a part of War craft 3.DotA is only a single map of War3. Now the latest map is 6.63 and map creator still in progress to find new heroes to put in new maps .
I’m totally addicted to this game. This game is really easy since we just control only one single hero not as 3C or regular War3 that need to control an army and 2 or 3 heros .
If you want to play it well , you should always cooperate with your teammates because you have 4 other players in your team . When you are playing Dota , killing heros in another team is really important . You not only earn money by these kills , but also get your level up . But kill is not that easy because enemies are not stupid so if we want to kill them , we have to work with teammates . We don’t want to kill them only by ourselves , we gank , which is the most useful skill in Dota . Two or three or four heros can kill one or two easily . That’s the rule to get close to victory .
Also ,for a good combination, team should get support , tank ,pusher and killer heroes. To be a good support or pusher they should be intelligent heroes, strength heroes as a tank hero and agility hero as a killer heroes. Sometimes, support and tank also can kill if they get powerful items such as BKB .
I love this game !!

fantastic advertisment (1)

This is a Pepsi advertisment : a boy bought two cans of Coco Cola from a vending machine , but he put them under his feet because he can't reach the Pepsi button ....... actually he wanted to buy a Pepsi ! After he got his Pepsi coke , he left those Coco behind him and then walked away . Haha , isn't that amazing ? I think it's really creative and it can make the boss of Coco company very angry . Although it might be a little mean , I like the idea . Chinese ads all suck because they don't have anything to attract viewers . But American ads can be so interesting that I don't even want to watch the show . That's why I want to be in advertising here .

Nike Air Max LeBron VII

Today marked the unveiling of LeBron James’ latest signature basketball shoe, the Nike Air Max LeBron VII. The shoe as you would imagine combines many of Nike’s most notable performance elements such as Max Air (a new specially tuned Air unit created for basketball) and a Flywire upper. The $160 USD shoe will release on October 24th with a comprehensive press release seen below.NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) today introduced the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, the latest and most innovative shoe in LeBron James’ signature line, at a global media summit in Akron, Ohio featuring James and performance footwear designer Jason Petrie.
The Nike Air Max LeBron VII is designed to deliver maximum comfort and stability. It features an innovative, basketball-specific Max Air airbag unit, a cushioning first for the company, and a Flywire engineered upper using higher tensile-strength cable than in previous performance basketball shoes.

“The new LeBron VII takes my signature line to a new level of innovation,” said LeBron James. “As the demands of my game evolve and increase, Nike consistently designs and develops shoes helping drive my on-court success.”

“When designing the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, we envisioned a shoe that was both strong and comfortable,” said Jason Petrie, Nike Footwear Designer. “We delivered a shoe that is a perfect combination of superior performance and luxurious style, embodying LeBron himself.”

Comfort RevolutionNike’s first basketball-specific Nike Max 360 air sole is designed and engineered for the multi-directional movements of the modern basketball player. This basketball-specific air sole contains 80 percent more air than the previous full-length unit for ultimate comfort. The air sole is strategically contoured with a thinner forefoot and deeper heel placing cushioning where it is needed most.
Moving upward from the court floor, the insole and upper of the shoe match the mid-sole’s innovation. The seamless integrated bootie not only makes for a comfortable ride with no irritation, but also provides the lockdown support basketball players covet. Nike Flywire technology, first introduced in the highly successful Nike Hyperdunk, provides support without adding unnecessary weight by integrating tensile fibers with a minimal use of materials. Its crisscross lineage not only provides basketball specific stability, but also creates a diamond pattern that LeBron has asked be integrated into his signature footwear and apparel lines each year.(from http://hypebeast.com/2009/08/nike-air-max-lebron-vii/.)

I am a fan of Kobe Bryant but I'm crazy about LBJ shoes because they are way better than Zoom Kobe and hyperdunk . Zoom Kobe shoes are comfortable and pretty , but they are not durable enough . Although Zoom Kobe and hyperdunk have a lot technology , I preffer LBJ shoes which are made for basketball players who are looking for cushioning and strength with a sense of style(bold part is from http://hypebeast.com/2009/08/nike-air-max-lebron-vii/)
