Passed: 05/01/10

Done
Woke up at 8am this morning and started setting up my microphone and laptop for the oral presentation. My grandpa came at 9am and we started the oral interview, to my surprise, my grandpa's answers to my questions were quite truthful and emotional. He didn't cry in front of me or anything, but knowing him for so long, I can hear the sadness and seriousness behind his voice. He mentioned life was hard for his village and I feel bad now since I told him to not "talk too much" before the interview. After the interview was completed, he started remembering more events regarding his early childhood, but I was unable to record it due to the fact that we were eating at a restaurant. My grandpa is usually very talkative and has a great sense of humor, but this morning, he was dead serious and I was glad he chose to take this seriously. Thankfully right after the interview was out of the picture he started laughing and told me to pay him 200nt for asking him so many questions (he said 15nt per question but gave me a discount at the end). Below I've decided to attach a download link to this morning's interview:

Second Round Here We Come
If you guys have been checking your facebook what I am talking about right now should be fairly obvious. The Lakers had just eliminated the Thunders and are going into the Conference Semi-Finals. The final score was 95-94, concluded by Gasol's tip in from Kobe Bryant's miss with .5 seconds left to play. Kobe played extremely well today, he carried the team behind his back and brought us to the second round.

Kudos to the Lakers, who finally managed to play through some tough whistles and a crowd that was reaching "We Believe" proportions. They were given multiple opportunities to fold, but finally displayed the mental toughness and grit that will be absolutely required if a repeat title is in the cards. Tonight, they had to find new ways to win, because the usual stuff wasn't working out. In a game full of strangeness, the ending provided the strangest finish of all, with Kobe being saved by his teammates, instead of the other way around.

Watch the final moment of the game:


And tonight we shall drink, "We LOVE Paul Gasol":


P.S. Jazz vs Lakers starts tomorrow, there are still more battles ahead of us, we will take on them one by one: THE ROAD to REPEAT.

Have a great day, I know I will.
