I ran out of things to say.

I think my boyfriend took my writing and artistic creativity away. I don’t know how, but he did (shame on you Matt).

It’s a silly thing to say but ever since I’ve been with him, I’ve been slowly running out of things to write about.  Trust me, I would love to update this blog regularly like I use to (when I was single ha!), but I suppose when you’re me, being a girlfriend doing girlfriendy things, the creative part of your brain simply shuts down and replaces it with a big sodding writer’s block.

Now that I’m creatively inept and retarded, I only can show you what I’ve been up to lately by sharing a few pictures:


(ate a monster turkey leg at Renaissance Faire in Irwandale)


(visited San Francisco and other cities around it)


(saw “The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television” tour. Look! Katy Perry and Russell Brand are in this picture)


(went to E3, met LeVar Burton! Yes, the reading rainbow guy and La Forge from Star Trek)


(went to an Iron Maiden concert)


(had a blast at Comic-Con ’10 and got to meet Michael Sheen!)

My boyfriend took me to all of these exciting events (except the first one) this year and I am very grateful. Oh yes, I have an awesome-mind-stealing boyfriend.

Update on Tiff’s “life”

Filed Under: Fashion, Geekgasm by Tiff — 20 Comments
November 4, 2009

If anybody cares, I am back to blogging! Well–Kinda! Depends if I actually have stuff to write about, but yeah, I finally have time and can focus on what I love doing…writing nonsensical spouts of starbursts on Tiffsbloggy (man I love saying that).

Oh, and when I mean “I finally have time” I mean, I’m not playing World of Warcraft as much anymore since I finally hit level 80 for the first time.

For those who know WoW and are curious to know what I play, I play a fresh lvl 80 blood elf hunter on Blackrock server.  She’s BM for pvp, and soon to be MM for pve.

If I were to turn into a video game character,  she would be it.  I intentionally created her that way so she would somewhat resemble me.  I mean technically, I’m not just playing WoW…I’m literally in the game but in pixel format. Right? Amirite?

Thanks to my boyfriend, who COERCED me in to trying out the 10-day trial of the game, I’ve been really addicted to it for the past three months.  Though, thankfully, not as much anymore now that I am level 80.  I can finally breathe, focus more on school and this website, and shower more.

And since I’m a huge nerd for dressing up, last thing I want to mention is my Halloween costume.  I was dressed as a Victorian vampire, with crazy cat-eye contact lenses.  Here are some photos of the event, plus an adorable photo of my nephew trick-0-treating for the first time as an added bonus (he’s not even two yet!):

My summer kind of kicks ass.

Will update more on life later, for now, two very important things of kickassery:

1. I went to Comic-Con International in San Diego for my second time, and I’ve finally did what I’ve always wanted to do…costume play! Yeah, that’s right, I’m a grown-up and I dressed up for a geek convention…and I liked it.

I was dressed up as the female counterpart of Kakashi from Naruto.  My buddy, Pris, was dressed as the female Joker (her makeup looked friggen’ SICK), and my other buddy, Jason, was also a Naruto character.  The two other guys, Mina (Pris’s fiance) and Matt (my boyfriend), were dressed up as humans. Original? I think so.

I had a blast.  I saw other cool geeks dressed up.  I saw lots of cool gizmos and gadgets.  And since I was dressed up, a lot of people took photos with me.  There was a point where I was alone, and just out of the blue, people, in large groups, were taking photos of me, complimenting on my costume and my red “sharingan” contact.  I never had this kind of “celebrity” treatment before, and I ain’t gotta lie, it felt kind of nice to be noticed and to have the flash going off in your face as if you were getting mauled by the paparazzi.

The downside of this experience was not being able to go to a panel, namely The Big Bang Theory sitcom.  Also, my ninja mask.  I was sweating profusely in there.  And I wore the mask prior to the convention so much (for fun) that it loosened up, and I had to tape it inside during the event. Gah.

All in all, it was fun, and I got to spend it with my closest friends.  I certainly can’t wait to attend and dress up for Comic-Con 2010. Shwing!

2. Last night, I had my sister cut a huge portion of my hair so I can give it away.  My new do is very bold and obviously, very drastic, but I’m really in love with my new haircut.  It’s different!

Do I miss it?

Not even.  Hell, I’d even cut it up eyes, but since my face is kind of prominent with a bit of a masculine touch, people might mistaken me for a dude, or a lesbian.

E3 Expo 09

Yesterday Jules and I manage to go to E3 (thanks to Matt) and we had a blaaaast. I’m not really sure where to start, all I can think of at the moment is, there are a lot of games out there. Shit there are a lot. And there’s not enough time to play all of them-at least the one’s that suppose to kickass. Iuno what to do.

I played the Left4Dead 2 demo, and so far, it feels like it should be an expansion pack of the first Left4Dead because nothing has changed significantly. It was exactly like playing the original Left4Dead, but with added maps, characters, and weapons. I don’t think Valve is that dumb enough to create another copy just to make extra buck, but we’ll see.

Regardless, I’m looking forward to getting to know the new characters. They look really fun! Let’s see, you have a guy sporting an 80′s Miami Vicey outfit; some say he bears a striking resemblance to Julian McMahon from Nip/Tuck. You have this huge black man, who I think is freakin’ adorable, boy is he adorable! He’s the kind where you just want to give a big bear hug and tell him that everything’s going to be ok. You have a hot lookin’ white guy probably in his 20′s…that’s all I have to say about him so far. And finally, a chick, who already reminds me of Zoey because they’re the only girls in the game and they’re wearing pink, but I’m praying that she isn’t just a black version of Zoey, ’cause I’ll be damned if I have to hear another dumb movie quote again.

The special infected haven’t really changed except for tank (that I notice). Tank looks like a giant hillbilly wearing gawdamn overalls.  But what I like about the new and improved(?) tank is he’s capable of picking your body up and slamming it to the ground. Beautiful.

L4D 2 comes out on November 17th this year (my birthday!).

I played a lot of other games, so much that my wrist started to hurt.  Some games and trailers I played and/ saw at E3 that attracted me the most were Uncharted 2, God of War III, Modern Warfare 2, Mag, Scribble Nauts and a few other games I can’t think of at the top of my head.

Now the important question is…how can I find all the time to play all of this when they come out?

Zombie Walk!

Filed Under: Geekgasm by Tiff — 9 Comments
June 1, 2009

I’ve noticed that lately I’ve been on a word vomit writing spree, and as much as I love to talk, and talk…and talk, I think I should give that a rest for today and let the photos (and video) I’m about to post do most of the talking biting.

Last Saturday was Long Beach’s first annual Zombie Walk and “Shaun of the Dead” screening, and I went as a rotting zombie Chinese girl.  Even though my buddies and I were a little bit late for the actual walk, we had such a great time.  The feeling of being in the same area and/room with countless of other zombie fans who are also dressing the “undead” part was quite the delight!

Oh yeah, funny story.  You see that photo of me and the Marvel zombified version of Captain America? I just found out yesterday that we actually know each other online!  But we didn’t recognize each other while the event was in progress. I knew this because he ended up posting a comment on that photo on Flickr that reads, “Hey! That was you???” HA!

I will be ending this entry with a quick video of my friends and I dancing on stage in front of the crowd of cheering zombies.

Note: I was trying to do the zombot (zombie + robot), but the guys had surely beat me with their own gnarly twitching, limping, zomberific dance moves. After the camera stopped recording, the audience was cheering and applauding boisterously, I couldn’t ask for anything better. Acutally, yes, I wish that moment was recorded. =(

Oh well, better than nothing, enjoy!
