(My) Travel time by different transport in single trip

This is randomness out of boredom, but if I’m going to write it then it at least be accurate. This is my longest travel time in different transport in single trip from one places to another whether I driving it or not does not matter. Does not count if you stop over and rest in some hotel or motel over night. Will count for re-fueling, resting (such as bathroom break or rest stop), or crossing the border which require to get out of the transport and present all necessary documents to the border people. Transfer into a different transport or similar transport will not count. Whether you in a traffic, or afloat at sea; these still count because you in that transport, while not moving much.

  • Vehicle (car and/or truck): ~5 Hours or more
  • Bus: ~3 Hour
  • Rail (train, subway, and/or any rail transports): ~4 Hour
  • Aircraft: ~15 Hour
  • Sea Craft: ~1 Hour, ~2 Hour (don't remember)

Couldn't See the Lunar Eclipse Yesterday (Sept 27, 2015; Local Times)

I couldn't see the lunar eclipse/super moon combo yesterday on Sept 27, 2015 (PST) [Sept 28, 2015 on UTC] due to freaking cloud coverage in my local area before around 6:00 PM PST which lasted until around 9:00 PM PST. Which by then the lunar eclipse is over. This is the last (total) lunar eclipse until 2019 in this part of the world; the lunar eclipse/super moon combo will come back in 2033. I did state I was taking pictures of lunar eclipse in my earlier blog, well I forgot to mention I posted those picture on wikipedia. I only took two picture of the "total" lunar eclipse out of four lunar eclipse that happen on this part of the world. The "2014 Apr 15" I didn't took the picture because I didn't have the camera to take it.

My two picture is in 2014 Oct 08 and 2015 Apr 04 are under the location Santa Clara County, California. I going post my picture for 2015 Sep 28 later of when the moon finally show up but after the full lunar eclipse. It just my luck that there cloud coverage in my local area, well lucky for people who live in the north bay while us south bay get cloud coverage (complain by me)

Battlefield 2 (Game) Story



This is a Battlefield 2 story, basically a gameplay from one of my personal gameplay experiences which unluckily it was not recorded on battle record nor did I recorded it live. Out of all the many hours I play, this is the few that I remember that worth remembering. If I were to give it a title it would be called “Last Man on the Team”. I don’t remember what happen most of the game but I remember the part what I need to remember. Long story short, I was the last player on our team while the other team just captures the last capture point and kills off my team that was defending it. They can’t respawn because I’m just a team member in my squad and not the leader. Long story short, I capture a point and all my dead teammate finally respawn. We lost anyway and we were losing in the first place. 

Map: Operation Blue Pearl

64 Player Setting Map

Actually number of player at that time: around 12-18, which mean around 6 to 8 player on both team.
I was on the Chinese Team, because if I were on the American side, we will still have a spawn point from the uncapturable American starting base. Anyway look at the picture I uploaded and that how the situation look from what I remembers, well to point out the sceenshot is the start of the game look not the situation I’m talking about but you get it, by me photoshoping the area in the image.

What type of (Fictions) book genre would I read or prefer to read?

What type of (fiction) books genre would I read or prefer to read; Well I don't read alot to tell you the truth, not regular book anyway. I read Manga and Light Novel most of the time and that have it's own genre I pick from which I may post later as in much later, but this is about normal novel. Light Novel is much short then a regular novel. Any who, I usually read books I get from the Public library and usually pick randomly but within a certain genre area, I'm picky like any normal person. However, if I like an author and read a few of his or her work, then I probably try to read his other works because usually they keep the same style of writing.

Anyway here are some of the genre I might or may pick up; other genre unless it catch my attention I usually don't read it.

  • Sci-Fi (Depend on the story and plot)
  • Suspense
  • Thriller
All other genres depend on the story and plot, but the majority is from these genre I prefer. I do read other genre.
