I’m just another dreamer majoring in astronomy who likes to blog and take pictures as I live life. I love chill music in my car while I drive. I love kicking it with you. I also dance too, but most likely not the kind you’d expect.
Get to know me. :)

| But my goodness! So much has happened in the past 30 or so days.
We've finally moved into the Antioch house, leaving our Concord home behind. I'll miss that place. Man, that's where I grew upp! From age 6 to 19, that's my life, dude. I'll definitely miss it. But things change and we have to move on... and make this new house of ours really and truly our new home.
Christmas? bleh. New years? hah. Probbbaaably among the worst new years I've ever had. haha! Seriously, I spent it playing ms and browsing /a/. So sad. lol.
mmmm.. And as noted with my last post, it was recently my birthday. 20, to be exact. I had dinner with my family and a couple uncles and aunts at a japanese restaurant recommended by Yelp. I was very displeased at how inaccurate the descriptions were of the place and the food. But it was decent. :|
Um, the eclipse has finally been fixed, but is under my sister's use instead of my own. I don't really blame my sister and mom refusing to let me drive it though, I kind of deserve it for not having taken care of it like I should've.
I don't even know what else. Really, my life has been work, stay at home, go to work, stay at home, etc. Normally with all the other free time I had, I would've gone out, but my sister generally guilt trips me into staying home. Since I've been staying home so much...
I've been watching a bunch of new anime. dammit. haha. Wasting SOOO much time nowadays on it. I picked up a few new shows this winter season to watch along with a few shows from the fall season that are still continuing.
Fall Season:
- To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
- Kimi ni Todoke
Winter Season:
- Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
- Dance in the Vampire Bund
- Durarara!!
- Sora no Woto
Sigh. Yeah, that's been taking up a lot of my time at home, since I don't really have anything else to do other than play Melee.
Other than that and work, I've still been going to KDC. We're actually auditioning for Ethnic today. It's pretty crazy. I can't believe it's been a year already. I hope we can do well. I mean, I've been iffy about auditioning this year... It's just so much damn work to do, but the experience is great.
And... my god, school's FINALLY starting on monday. I can't believe this break's finally coming to an end soon. One month and one week. It's about time. | | |
| You know, I've always said that the years 19 and 20 are like, the worst birthdays because you just came out of 18, which was a huge deal, and you're just waiting for 21 to come around so you can do all the cool things older people can do (legally) like.. drink alcohol. But 20's pretty amazing too, now that I think of it.
Well, at least, I think it is. This is it! You know, my last night as a teenager. When I put it that way, it's pretty crazy just thinking about it. I mean, I started this blog back when I was 13. Back when I was a teenager for few months. Now it's 7 years later and I'm about to be 20. TWENTY. There's no fucking "teen" attached to the end of that. Seriously.
So much has happened to me and changed me in these past 7 years. You know, these are the years that we grow and enjoy. Middle school. High school. The first couple years of college. This is the stuff people talk about and reminisce when they get older.
I love that I've changed so much throughout my years as a teenager. I've learned so much about myself and the world, and I know for a fact that I have so much more to learn. It'd be stupid to say that I've changed since I was 13. I mean, that's a given. But I'm pretty sure that I'm a very different person from what I was just even a year ago.
Well, life does that to you. I'm glad to have experienced everything that I have in these past seven years. Everything. I want to say that I don't regret anything, but that'd be a lie because I do. But there's really no use in regretting what can't be changed (which is in the past.). Herp derp. haha.
And even so. It's pretty funny considering how little I've changed in some aspects of life. Such as my interests. I mean, I'm playing fuckin' Pokemon Leaf Green right now on my phone, and I fucking love it. I'm BEYOND excited for Pokemon HeartGold's release a couple months from now. It was just like this so many years ago. I mean, 10 years ago the original Gold Version came out. I'm probably an even bigger fan now, than I was back then, because I generally have no qualms about expressing my love for it. haha.
And the same could be said for some other things too. :] Coughanimecough.
I'm excited. You know, there isn't really much that makes the transition from 19 to 20 a big thing like the jump to 18 or 21, but I'm excited. I don't really have any plans for tomorrow night either. haha.
I mean, sometimes, I just kind of want to make a big deal about my birthday, but I'd hella feel like I'm doing it just to get attention. So I generally don't. Just some little things. haha. I mean, I've always wanted a surprise party or something, but that shit hardly ever happens to guys. It's all good for this year though. Next year I'm definitely going out for it.
As for this year? maybe just a small kickit and dinner with the homayyys.

| It's been quite some time that I've blogged here. Most of the reason is due to work, since we've been getting out later and later... well, lately. NOW, we're closing at 12, and supposed to be getting out at 1. Pretty insane, if you ask me. But enough about work already, I think I'll start up my workblog again.
Otherwise, it's been a little bit. I really do miss blogging. A lot's happened.
It's winter break now. What. the. fuck. Isn't that crazy? I swear, didn't I just vote for Obama last month or something? Shit, that was a year ago already! Like I say, time flies. So much has happened this Fall '09 semester. I've met lots of new people. :) I'm really glad to have met them all. Hopefully as the semesters come and go that we still keep in touch, even if we aren't in the same classes anymore. I dropped math. I dropped history. I failed english.... I aced astronomy. lol. Yeah, this was a really bad semester for me academically. It was a learning experience, however. I'm taking 17 next semester to make up for my mistakes this semester. I've also asked to cut down on my hours so that I'll finally have time to study without being exhausted.
Some notables from DVC this semester.
 
We did Balikatan. And fucking killed that shit, too! Man, I love our dances... and the people in our group. It was great to have Ellys and Julian back for the time being. I do wish that we had "mingled" with the other groups more. Everyone pretty much kept to themselves. Didn't get to see Likha perform... Anyways, Kariktan, I effing love it.
Speaking of KDC, the christmas party was good fun. :D I came straight from work so I didn't really get a chance to dress like I had wanted. lol. Not that it really mattered. The "surprise" performance was Princesa with Andrew, Marlo and Mick... and Anthony as Robbie. haha. The girls did some odd rendition of the boys' side of Sarimanok, so me and Andrew ended up getting in and doing the girls' dances after they were done... eventually went on to do Sla'ong and Blit Bilaan (though not as well as last year's. haha.) I was glad we had it in the studio. Hella more homely than that shitty hall we did it at for a couple years... Though I do like that one in San Ramon the first couple years. Still, that studio is our home on sundays.
We're officially moving in now!! Oh my god, it's really hard to believe it's finally happening. I've been at this home for most of my life now. I was here since I was 6, after we moved out of our apartment at Pine Street. I've had countless memories here that I will always cherish. Ah, shit, just got teary eyed as I typed that up. haha. This is my home, dude. And we finally get to move on. Oh my god, I'm bout to start reppin' the 'yoch, son!! Lies. Lies. I lie. I joke. I will always be a Concord/L.A. boy.
Anddd... I've been taking a lot of pictures with my phone, since using it is more convenient than taking my camera around, considering how hard it is to fit in some of my pockets. haha. Here's some notables that I've taken since I got it back in November.
 
Speaking of my phone... did I tell you I fucking love it? I got gameboid from the Market. Shit is amazing. I've picked up Leaf Green again, to actually play it through now, no hacks, son. Just some multiple save states. haha. Just got to Moltres, and I'm having issues catching it. Stupid thing has 1 HP and is effing ASLEEP, and it still won't get caught by my Ultra Ball. GBC on my Centro, and GBA on my Hero?! My phones are dope.
Hero = Leaf Green
Centro = Gold

| I had work today from 8 to 4.. It was pretty busy. I ended up having to clean up the mess I left myself for the first hour since we got out so early last night. I had a bunch to do.
When I started pulling boxes from receiving, La walked in and started lecturing me to pull only palettes at a time, rather than single boxes. I argued that we had no room for everything on one palette, so I was pulling everything that we had room for. And also that I was told to do so. La complained that it was unfair to her and everyone in receiving for various reasons which I filtered out of my head, so I started walking to the receiving office since Laura was there. I asked Laura if I was right, and she said I was, and La started to argue with her. I walked away and pulled the flatbed full of boxes out of receiving. A few minutes later, Debbie calls me to the office. La told on me. lol. I knew she would. Debbie said to follow her to receiving so we could talk it over, and La was doing a really bad job of concealing her happiness. La explained her side, then I did mine... and Debbie basically just left us alone. She didn't tell me to do what La said. My victory, bitchhh. haha.
Otherwise, work was uneventful considering it was pretty busy. The new guys and Diana were helping us in shoes after 2 o clock. Pretty easy. I had pho for lunch again. After everything was done, I dipped out as quick as I could to go to practice.
The boys just chilled for the first half hour I was there. After a bit, Tita Polly called us down, and we did our stuff. Why do we kick so much ass? haha.
In the end we really only did one full run through, with the girls messing things up for a sec, but overall we did really well. It was great having everyone there. :) Also, supposedly new people?? I dunno bout that pulling through, lol. Though I have hopes. haha.
Next week! BALIKATAN! Do it! Go watch us! Support us! All proceeds go to those affected by Typhoon Ondoy!

| And I've taken my time. Yepp.
Thanksgiving was yesterday. Decent day. I finally got to sleep in! haha. I woke up at 3:55 pm. Pretty late, I know, but I didn't get to sleep till like 4 am. Dinner was fine. We had it at Nana Trining's house this year. Pretty cramped. But it was good to be around family. I'm very thankful to have my family.
One thing that bothered me though, was that we were watching TFC the whole time there. God, I hate Philippine media. It's so oversexualized (ahem, Wowowee) and the celebrities try to hard too hard to... well, I'm not sure what they try to do, but whatever they do, it annoys the crap out of me. What, with the whole super skin whitening and shitty acting. Horrible songs, crappy lines in English. I really do not enjoy watching TFC. Vhong Navarro annoys me. I was half watching a show that was on, and it took place in the mall? Yeah, even though it did, the actors were standing in front of a green screen. A green screen showing a mall. Really, now, is that necessary? Garbage media is garbage.
Anyways, about myself lately. I dropped classes like no other this semester. I'm pretty unhappy about that. I need to pick it up next semester and take more classes and work less. Sounds familiar, but I hope I actually succeed this spring semester in doing so.
Work's been a bitch. We closed late the other day without prior knowledge. They just made us close later. It's the holiday season now. Black friday's today. I stopped by earlier in the morning to check out my department. Shit sucks. Supposedly the twins and la were in there but the place looked like shit. I didn't walk in for fear of raging at the customers even though I wasn't on shift yet. Actually, I have work in about half an hour, so I'm trying to get a last minute blog in here since I haven't in so long.
I'm expecting the worst at work when I go in. I'm working 3-11... I probably won't get off till nearly 12. I hope the telly isn't dead by then, because I want to go. badly.
Oh yeah! I went to practice last sunday. It was nice, actually. I was glad to see everyone back again. We ended up going to quickly afterward with the cool kids (minus a few) which was very chill.
I dunno. Life's been so-so lately. I guess I'm just tense waiting for the move to happen already. Hopefully once that's done we'll be able to relax.
Also, fuck black friday. Shit sucks. I'll take my cyber monday instead.
