Ricky

I'm the founder of Sensual Dental, coming in 2010.

About Me

Most would say that I'm super nice, laid back, funny, charismatic, generous, outgoing, etc. However, others may say the complete contrary. I'm normally a shy guy, but those who know me best know that I'm pretty hard to shut up. I admit that I do talk a lot of shit and I do joke around a lot, but it's all for laughs with no intent to harm. I need to surround myself with laughter. I'm basically your average Joe. I just finished dental school so I'm prepared to begin a brand new chapter in my life. I believe in karma and doing good in life. I try my best to stay in touch with friends, but I am horrible at it. I am the king of all procrastinators, but as a result of that I thrive under pressure (most of the times).

Rudy is one of my all-time favorites. Friday, Old School, all the earlier Adam Sandler stuff i.e. Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Waterboy. Comedies.

don't watch much TV anymore, but still have to get my daily fix of Sportscenter and Latenight with Conan O'Brien

Books:

self-help books, books by John Grisham and Dan Brown

Heroes:

My parents are my absolute heroes.

The Fray concert (videos)

Saw The Fray play again in SF at the Warfield last night, 11.17.06. It was an awesome show, better than a few months ago when I saw them at the Fillmore. This time, their set had more of a "live" feel...

20/15

Just had my one-week post-op appointment for my LASIK surgery, and I'm seeing 20/15 in both eyes! Just in case, 20/15 is even better than 20/20 vision ;) Still have dry eyes, which should improve the...

Concert Whore

As mentioned in an earlier blog, I've been on a concert binge this year but I had to take a short break a few months ago due to the lack of funds. So to make ends meet, I ended up having to sell a few...

Finally got LASIK'ed!!!

After years of contemplation, I finally muscled up enough guts to follow through with my long-time desire to get LASIK surgery for my eyes. The surgery went down last Friday morning and, so far, I..m...

Hanging up the headphones

Today is a very sad day because I'm losing my turntables for good. I've thought about selling them many times in the past, but never built up enough courage to do so. Everytime I needed money, I would...

I walked on the Equator!

Did you know that Ecuador is Spanish for the equator? Just testing. I spent 10 days in Ecuador with my dental school buddies during our Spring Break. No, it wasn't for the crazy spring break partyin...
