Final

If it wasn't for school, I would really want to get out of here and do something with my life. I need a huge change because a lot of things have been bothering me lately and I hate it every time that happens...when things just chase after you when you thought u have passed all of them. Doing the same shit everyday , sleeping on the same bed everynight..im tired of it because it doesn't help me get through the stress...how do you expect someone to fucking forget about all the bullshit in life when its right in front of you every day?


After graduation, I'm planning to leave for awhile..on my own. I'm looking forward to it.

Life changing

Well I guess my life is flipping the pages..my mom is finally moving out and I'm gonna be living with my sister and her bf. It is funny how changes always happen at the same time..I'm just glad that this time around changes are good, I really need them. I'm tired of living my life the same shit everyday..that's how people end up killing emselves..haha well sometimes.

I'm ready for summer..I just can't wait til this quarter is almost fucking over man. First quarter break after 2 year round school. At least I aint slacking..I finished my term paper early for the first time!!!! And all I have to worry about now is a freaking presentation on a topic I know nothing about. Other than that,99% on every class and I can get Cs on my finals to keep my A :) At least my sister can't bitch at me saying I am a lazy ass.

Kevin's bar party thing was actually pretty fun last night, but I haven't gotten the chance to look at the pictures on my camera cus I worked really early this morning for that damn Ludacris concert..good music but the crowd was weak..It got pretty hot when noon time came and I was sweating all over my vest, I can still smell the sourness on it..hahah I think imma go take off the ballistic padding and wash it..good day

procrastination

I have a paper due on the 1st of June..and I have only gotten the APA title page typed, which consisted of my title, name, and class. hahahha damn it! For the past 2 days I have only been editing pictures, which is sad, but I would rather edit pictures over paper any day.

On Thursday, I shot one of my homie, David Tran's G35. His whip is slammed, and I love taking pictures of slam cars, so I don't have to worry about the gap between the bumper and the floor. Later on that night, we went to Sabor, that place was pretty cracking, reminded me of Taste Ultra Lounge.

I've been staying home since yesterday doing nothing..but editing pictures, eat, nap, and drank some beer with lolo and em..went to Denny's, saw some folks from San Leandro...that's about it. I have a really boring life lately, its sad...I just wish school can be over... :(

Here is what I have been doing...:

Taking a break from this....

I spent like 3 hours already..well i kinda got caught up watching youtube though

Wide Awake

Yesterday was definitely a long day for me. I woke up at 10 am in the morning for a make up event despite sleeping late the previous night from drinking too much...Photographers were suppose to show up around 12:00pm but I didn't get there until 1 because I had to look for this one screw for my flash from homedepot to lowes to orchard..but that's another story to be told...

It was a really hot day, and people were getting ready when I got there...met up with homie John from Dark Side of The Moon Photography. John is probably one of the best photographer I know, he just recently shot the Pussy Cat Dolls and have done many other well known people and groups..including Manny Pacquiao.



While John was doing the artistic stuff by the grass, I was more of the photographer that was doing the headshots for the make up(which i can't show here)...Man I feel sucha newbie. This is probably one of the first time I dealt with strobes during the day and is stressful because it was a rush...model after model. But I stopped early and let my new buddy take over so I can just chill and eat frozen yogurt. I stayed 'til about 6:30 pm, even though the event wasn't over just yet, I had to leave for mother's day dinner.

Dinner was great, we had a fancy style Vietnamese food. It wasn't pho or vermicelli..hahha Too bad we didn't get the pictures of the food. The place was pretty elegant and its weird how it is hidden within San Leandro. It's been a long time since I had dinner with my mom because of work, I felt really good being at family gathering.



Today, I will be going to my mom's bf house for mother's day dinner..hopefully it will be fun. Since its still early and I'm wide awake...im going to finish my pictures and go to church :)

That's ALL bad

My boy david showed me this today...towards the end of the video is hella funny hahahhaha

Took me about 15 minutes...because I couldn't decide if I wanted those maple leaves. Oh well..fruity it is.

My digital photography class is a getting boring. 1...im not learning much, 2.. its a 3 hour class..hmmm...so I left class yesterday and start taking pictures:

This is the RC Wash...washes all the chemical after developing inside the darkroom:



In class...oh look, its my shoe again.


Doing my homework..


here's the egg:


imma go get a hair cut now bye.

4 more weeks

I am exhausted. All year round school had worked me good ever since 06. I can't even focus studying my midterm..im all woozy because this stupid cold. Pretty sure imma bomb that test tomorrow...gotta hang tight though. Wake up early tomorrow hopefully ill feel better.

I like:

I'm sick man!

Man this sucks....I worked in the rain on friday..now im all jacked up. People gonna discriminate me thinking I have swine flu.

Step it up

People like these 2 jackasses make me want to finish school faster, so I can put these dumb fucks behind bars. Excuse my language.

Nothing Much On A Cloudy Sunday

I've been feeling super lazy lately..I'm tired of school, its half way through the quarter and I'm still complaining my spring break was too short when summer is already coming (even though it doesn't feel like it). I'm burnt out, and a bigger challenge is ahead of me.

I WISH I WAS STILL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL...there were no worries, call the friends and meet up at the mall after our parents drop us off, spend our precious 20-40 dollars that feels like thousands, go to the movies and spend hours without watching a movie...there were no stress, no need to worry about whats happening in the next hour because nothings ever planned..no relationship dramas! Seems like the world just revolves around us...anything we want seems to be within reach...then we grow up..

We have college, we have bills, gas, manage our time and money, worry about our health, stress about stupid stuff like relationships, sleepless nights on the weekends just to make up the BS we went through during the week, materialistic, the new friends, the friends that stayed..friends that left. There is so much more to complain about life as you grow older, its tiring, but I guess that's the inevitable cycle of life.

Uncle, wish you were still here so we can drink and talk about life.

It's Cloudy

Woke up this morning still kind of upset that the DUI check point was postponed because of the weather, I know I would have had hella fun...oh well. We need the rain. Finally though, I got my IIIA bullet proof vest, it was slightly used but I think it will work. This Dyneema material is pretty sweet, its super light and 6x stronger than steel.

Old habbit, bad habbit, after 6 years it seems the addiction has never left me. I went straight back to it after the police challenge. I feel like I am just not pushing myself hard enough to seek motivation, is kinda hard, but in the end...its all excuses.

So its official that I have my job in Richmond's Frank Hagel Federal Building, I will be working a bigger position than last year, that means more stress, more busy...and they are hiring me until I graduate..man! My sister and I talked and she said I should just take the summer quarter off at school, something I would never expect her to say. My sister was always the one that pushes me to graduate, but I guess she finally sees the bags underneath my eyes, and know that I wouldn't take money from her or mom even if my wallet is flat like paper. Plus, I need to work hard for my toy that's in the shop, ready to be painted as soon as I have all the money. I am not even sure what color I want yet, but we will see when the time comes.











Good day!
