Bellevue, WA's hidden treasure: Broiler Bay

Image
If we can select one food that can describe or represent America, it's probably Hamburger. Even though Hamburger actually game from town call Hamburg in Germany, America is the one that have made hamburger mainstream. But please don't say the best burger is Big Mac from McDonald's because we all know there is NO WAY a fast food place can compete the real taste of grilled burgers. There are many good burger places through out the nation and it will be a pain in the ass to describe all of them, but in downtown Bellevue, WA there is one spot that has been claim to be the top burger of the region; Broiler Bay. Located on Main Street and  107th, Broiler Bay have been around since 1989 and have been grilling their food right where you can see them. If you have not been there, you will see why this place must have great burgers. Because Broiler Bay is not just in the open like Pink hot dog place in L.A, it's very hidden. It is so hidden that outer towner wont able to find the

Somebody is tracking me: Google, Apple, and Microsoft

Are we enjoying 21st century? Our newly developed gadgets and technologies has made us.....well.....like we are in "cloud". We, now, can watch TV, go to bank, check E Mail, read books, and other daily routines have now all compacted into our smartphone. Now, we can virtually do everything with a touch of screen. One of the application that I tent to use the most is my Google Maps. It's a handy little thing if you know how to maximize the use of it. To maximize the ability of this gadget, you have to enable your GPS system on your phone to really get the best of Google Maps. But guess what, Somebody is tracking your each move. It's kinda like letting someone into your home; if you don't advise it, this person will roam around your house and look into every drawer till this person find something useful. We have reports coming in lately that, both Google and Apple's smartphone or tablets have been tracking their customers. Creepy, isn't it. But I am a fair ma

Rapture May 21, 2011

Image
How many people out there are glad that the rapture didn't happen? Well guess what, it didn't happen. But it sure did make some ruckus, did it?! Harold Camping, fundamentalist minister of age 89, have predicted this rapture to happen on May 21, 2011 at 6:00 PM (EST), but when Sunday came along, he just became a laughing stock of the town, ONCE AGAIN. But with all the commotion going on with natural disasters through out the world and of course, we are still counting down on the 2012 theories, aren't we? So this rapture story is probably most "accurate" prediction this minister could've made. Harold Camping had his "Mystical" prediction in 1994, also. Well, two strikes Mr. Camping. But with your age, I don't know if you are going to be able to make another prediction. But let's be aware, what made him make these predictions. Is it just pure study of the Bible and calculation? Was it because all the natural disaster and signs of disaster? Or

Best/ Top Android Games

Image
These are my personal favorite Android games. Some of these games may need the flash player to play(Require Android 2.1 and up). 1. Angry Bird: New sensation, smartphone game that became so popular, they released a movie within a year of launching of the game. It has many levels so this game should keep you occupied for awhile. Simple game that is fun for most age users. 4.5 of 5 2. Asphalt 5 HD: Do we like racing games? Of course we do. But do we like racing game where you move by turning your phone, left and right? WE LOVE IT. Asphalt 5 HD is like Need for Speed but I personally love this game because the control is so smooth and the car selection aren't too bad. It is not free but my next post, I will show you how you can get it for free.                 4.5 of 5 3. Baseball Superstar: Playing sports game is in guys blood, but honestly, playing a sports game on your phone is not an easy task. Its too hard to control, how do you pass to right person, where is the turbo bu

Best/ Top Android App

Image
This segment, I am going to list top 20 apps for Android phone (beta 2.1 or up). 1. Advanced Task Killer - This app is like a task manager for your Android phone. We, sometimes, run into a frozen situations where your phone just tents to go S~L~O~W for some damn reason. Main reason is because you have too many programs already running and open. Android does lack "Exit" button, so most of times, your programs are still running and don't forget that widgets are also an open app. So to gain that speed again, go to Advanced Task Killer and kill all the tasks. It does have a choice to select items that you want to close, so you don't need to kill the main program you are using. 2. ASTRO File Manager - The ultimate route or bridge that let you control files and folders without syncing your phone with your computer. ASTRO can often be use to play some files that normally wont play on some programs. This program truly makes program managing simple. 3. Ayal Music Downloa

Cloud Generation

Image
Normally, when you mark generations, you mostly determine by significant event that shape up the nation or technology advancement. At this moment, Baby Boomers are probably the fat cats we are all facing. Then, we  have X Generation that is more wilder and more adventurous, but life is little bit easier than Baby Boomers. Now, people whom are born after 1993 or around that time is known as Y generation. We are the real computer generation with our MP3, Napster, Google, Youtube, Facebooking, Texting, E Mailing, AIMing and other more faster and independent socializing tools. We are the iPod generation, whom I like to think dealt with our beloved Compact Disc players. But with such quick developments in technology these days, I would think some of the Y generations are even falling behind on these new gadgets and new technical terminologies. I would call 2005 babies "Cloud Generation". These new generation does not stand in front of PC and get their resources. They are mobilized

Today Microsoft annouce that they are going to purchase VoIP service known as Skype. In Microsoft's 36 -years of history, this buyout is the highest ever costing $8.5 Billion. Skype is a well known VoIP application that popularized video chatting through out the world. Skype has 170 million users each months and it earned the revenue of $860 milllion last year with $7 million loss. Microsoft is going to add Skype feature for both Xbox and Window Phones. This action is to compete with both google and apple for their VoIP services.

Bob's Burgers

Image
Does FOX network knows animation or what? I mean, they don't really keep it on air for too long but most of times, it's the best animations that somewhat sets corner stones to generations. FOX brought The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, and many other envelop pushing animations and shows. Now, there is new animations thats been out about 3 months: Bob's Burger. Bob's Burger takes place in somewhere in East Coast (assuming by style of architecture). The story is about a family who owns a burger join and they run into some crazy but everyday life events. Main characters are Bob (father), Lynda (mother), Tina (Oldest daughter), Jean (Son), and Louise (youngest daughter). The show is not random like Family Guy, where they take you to a random flash back to make some sense, which still doesn't make sense; but it does has that crazy family characteristics that we all love and relate to. We have dad, who's is kinda boring but still cool in some sense. He does care for

Special: Mother's Day Post

Image
Mother: The person who gave birth to you. They often knows what you are thinking as if they were a physic. They are able to tell the difference when you are lying or telling the truth. Reason maybe is because every person in this world has to stay in their mother's womb for almost a whole year. I can't say for eveyone when their mother is the best person in the world, I can't say that for my mother either sometimes. However, I would say for most that mother's will kill for you. They will protect you and they will love you more than god himself. Maybe mother's love is god's love because there is no one that I know that will love me unconditionally like my mother does. So be good to your mothers, because soon or later, you won't be able to. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

T Mobile My Touch 4G Update.

Image
Its been roughly 5 months since I got My Touch 4G(MT4G). My touch 4G was introduced as very first 4G capable phone from T Mobile and it had rear and front facing camera with Android 2.2 (Froyo version) software. It was known to be the top T Mobile phone available at this point but of course there will be more and better phones that will come out of T Mobile. I am not doubting that. But MT4G is a fast phone with video chat capability and it's 4G is truly magnificent. Also, Android phones are great because it has the ability to stream flash player; meaning any website that normally need flash to play, now you are able to play it on your phone. The good news that I heard recently is that, in 2 month (July/2011), MT4G is going to finally get the update every MT4G users(except the people who already rooted/hacked their phone, which I refuse to do because it seems like it might just make the fun malfunction more often) have been waiting for, Gingerbread/ Android 2.3 update. Its not going

I AM.

I am not the smartest person in the world. I am not the strongest, richest, hansom-est, nor most nicest person. I don't have good career, extensive education, or sports talents. I am not fun, i  don't drink often, nor I like clubbing. But, I am the best at being me. I like cartoons, I speak Korean, I love soccer, I love clothes, I love hats, I love technology, and I am somewhat trendy. But I don't want those things to define me. I want people to define me as a humble person, nice person, reasonable person, mannered person, and honest person. Person, who, my friends can trust and depend on. Person, my parents can be proud of. Person, my love partner can be happy with. Person, who my enemies can at least respect. Person, who can give wisdom to younger generation. Person, who can be comfortable in his own skin. Person, that re-write his own history and fixed his wrongs to make it right. I am not a religious person, but let my soul shine and even standing in front of pearly gat

How does Osama Bin Laden's death affect you?

Image
May 1, 2011; President Obama held a press conference and announce that Osama Bin Laden is dead. Osama Bin Laden was known as the head of terrorist group call, Al-Qaeda, and head was held accountable for the tragic event of 9/11 where hijackers took Boeing air plane and crashed in to World Trace Center in New York City. But our war with Osama Bin Laden been going on far longer than the 9/11. when President Clinton was in the office, he announce that Bin Laden was #1 enemy of the states. He was even link to the Oklahoma City Bombing.  But now he is claimed to be dead after many years of searching and turning over rocks to find him. Doesn't it sound weird?  It's been many year since we declared war against Al-Qaeda and we no information of Bin Laden, we suddenly found out where he was hiding and we killed him? Without any evidence of the body to ID Bin Laden, we or President Obama claims that we killed him? I mean, if i see a kid going around claims he killed Jay-Z, am I gonna j
