Bullet Your Face

Not really feeling good today so I'll keep this short. 

The workshop on Sunday was dope. 
- Our biggest turn out
- Jay through down a really good routine 
- I felt like I was able connected to the class in a different way than usual through my routine
- Shaun killed it as always
- Everyone (Camp/guests) had a good time
- I got to meet a lot of new dancers
- It was good to see familiar faces
- THE SHIT KINGZ (click)
- I was inspired (and you know how I feel about that word)

Today was super lazy since I didn't feel well.
- Laid in bed and slept for a majority of the day (sorry for not picking up phone calls)
- Hours I was awake and coherent were spent reading blogs and browsing the web
- Attempted to purchase custom Vans but realized I wouldn't be around to receive them on the intended shipping date (fail)
- When I started to feel better I cleaned my room
- Now I'm back in bed looking forward to more sleep

It's Go Time

This blog has made me realize that I need to be more productive with the 24 hours I am given each day. In all honesty I envy those who are able to sleep at a decent hour and wake up to see the sunrise. These people have the whole day ahead of them to do whatever they want or need to do. Sure at times this can be stressful and tiring, but in the end it is these people who are getting the most out of their 24 hours. The reason I'm blogging about this is because there isn't much to recap in a blog when you've only been up for half of those hours and only half of that half was spent even doing anything. Don't get me wrong. We all need those "lazy days" but they have turned into a norm for me instead of a pleasure. There is a part of me that understands why I've been so lazy lately. With nothing to do but dance and work, (dance) then why shouldn't I sleep all day and get plenty hours of rest. On the other hand I also realize that there are only a few things I need to do, but there is so much more out there I can be doing. Something needs to be done, and I'm ready to make a change. 

On a lighter note Shaun is back in town and like always things related to dance seem to feel better. (no homo) I don't want to say that I am inspired when he is here, because I do feel like that word has turned into a cliche and is used a little to freely. With that said I guess I will say that I'm definitely more motivated when he's around. Take advantage, I know that I will. Its go time.

Thats all for now.

ps. The polls have spoken and I guess Ryan will be needing a sleeping bag for his camp out.

Operation Gotchabitch

I've learned that the best way to stay consistent with this thing is to blog every night. If I miss one day it turns into two and that eventually turns into months. I did miss last night however, but I'm back again to night in an effort to keep the momentum going.

Although I had every intention to blog last night I was unable to since I left my mac book charger at WSPA after teaching. What's even more unfortunate, is that I wasn't able to get it back today because the janitor took it. For all those Camp folks that have lost something at the studio, I feel your pain. In an effort to get our stuff back I have drawn up, "operation gotchabitch." We are basically going to set up a camera, or have Ryan camp out for the night (i haven't made up my mind yet) while we entice the janitor with something really valuable like an incase backpack with a macbook, ipod, iphone, and cables/chargers in it. Once he takes the bate we will either confront him with the footage or have Ryan pop out and yell "gotchabitch!" Which would you prefer? (vote to the right) If he doesn't give us our stuff back because he's a lier or he's sold our shit on ebay, we will then rip off his toenails and pee on his naked toes while he's forced to chew on light bulbs with fire red ants in them. (yea, i get down like that)

So back to my point for even deciding to blog in the first place. Its important to keep the momentum going and to do so here are some ups to cancel the downs caused by a lack of heat and sun for the past few days. 

UPS
- Pat x Mom choreography is looking really good (come check it out at IDC 5/3)
- APT is continually impressing me with their ability to pick up my stuff
- Baboos friend is getting me a new charger with 25% off
- The Company is steady grinding and getting the job done
- Shaun is coming tomorrow
- This blog is actually inspiring others to start blogging again

Golden Bay Bridge

Today was easily the most fun I have had in a long time. So fun in fact that you're going to wanna brace yourself for how long this blog is about to be. If you get bored easily then click here instead of continuing to read.

I started the day at Serramonte with M. Gambino. She wanted to buy the Manny x Giants x Nike tee at the dugout and I wanted to copy her. Luckily for me they still had my size, and luckily for The Great Gambino she was able to fit a small mens. The tees ended up setting me back a good $50, but it was money well spent. This is the first pacman shirt that looks good and actually fits me since most of them are really fobby and I'm way to big to fit Filipino sizes. We made a quick stop at Target for chips and the amazingly delicious Target brand trail mix (try it) then headed of to the beach to meet up with the folks for beach day.

If you haven't been to Baker Beach you are definitely missing out. Drew yelped the place and its rated the best beach around our area. Yelp didn't lie and we had a butt load of fun. Baker is a half nude beach half stuck up people beach and half chill laid back people beach. I should have broken that down into thirds but honestly I'm too tired and lazy to correct it right now. Anyways we were unfortunately away from the nudies (right side closest to the golden gate) and half way between the chill folks and the stuck up folks. (middle to left side) All in all it was a good time filled with bbq, beer, sun, football, skim boarding, laughs, and refreshing cold ocean water. Towards the end of our stay I decided to give skim boarding a try for the first time and actually did pretty well. The weakest part of the trip would be trying to show off and eating in the only set of clothes I had. I dried of quick but felt really grimy for the rest of the day at the Giants game.

To get to and from the game a few of us took Caltrain. I haven't taken Caltrain since I got my license, but being on the train brought back a lot of old memories. I told Malari and Treez to park at Target near Tanforan since the train station was a block away under the overpass. Unfortunately a lot has changed since I got my license and the station was actually a mile away from where we parked. We almost missed the train, and had to bored with no tickets. Back in the day I was only making lunch money and would never buy tickets, but now a days I feel the need to do the right thing. Luckily for us the ticket lady was nice enough not to give us a fines (also a new absurd Caltrain thing) and we got off at Bayshore during a 3min. stop to pay for what we owed before heading to the park.

Incase you didn't hear about it, today was Filipino day at Pac Bell Park and one of my heroes Manny was there to support. We were literally two feet away from him, so close in fact that i could smell De La Hoya's face on his left fist. Ok keep it real I couldn't smell it since that would be impossible, but we were pretty damn close. The Company was invited to preform during the pregame festivities. We held down as usual and the rest of my night was spent drinking more beer, eating garlic fries, screaming, paying $5 for a bottle of Coke, doing the wave, running into friends (both old and new) and watching the Giants beat the Padres 8-3. People always complain about baseball being such a boring sport, but watching it live is a whole nother story. I think it's the atmosphere of the park that ads to the drama, and excitement of the game. 

Now I'm sitting at home where it is again too hot to sleep. Im sunburnt, tired, dehydrated, and sore, but it was all worth it. Honestly I feel like this blog does not do today enough justice so I'll add in some highlights for you to get the complete picture. 

Highlights (click and take it back to the old school)
- Getting our shirts for cheaper at the the dugout instead of the stadium
- Player parking at the beach so we didn't have to walk up a fat hill on the way out
- Watching people move away from our beach spot because our music was too loud
- Feeling like a Corona commercial under the sun
- View of the golden gate bridge and bay bridge
- Seeing everyone fall hard attempting to skim bored (especially Andre the German Schneider)
- Tamaio thinking he could swim in his boxers since it was partially a nude beach
- Hearing Bobs complain about how disgusting the bathrooms were
- Watching Malari pound 2 tall cans on a 20min. train ride
- The company holding in down on a 10ft by 10ft rickety ass stage
- Seeing the pacman walk right by me
- Having a good time in the nose bleeds
- Freaking out about bats fly by us and lading on Subi's shirt
- Getting faded at the game and yelling at the away team (even if they couldn't hear us)
- Finally having an eventful tuesday away from teaching at the studio

Three's A Charm

Its been exactly three months since my last blog. Terrible, I know but honestly I've just been really lazy lately. I need more on my plate to keep me busy. Hopefully I'll find another job. I could use the money over the summer and with less time to sit around I'll definitely be more productive. 

I'm very excited to say that it has been extremely hot for the past couple of days. I love when the sun is out and the weather is nice. For some odd reason it makes everything better. To fully appreciate it, I started the day with some time on my balcony. When my skin started to hurt, I decided to get ready and head out to Stonestown to buy new earphones. I left my apple earbuds in Vegas (yes i went again) and I felt like it was time to invest on another pair. After contemplating between Nixon, WESC, and Skullcandy I finally decided on the "full metal jackets." This is mainly because they are similar to my previous V-modas and if they break Skulcandy will replace them for free.  Right across from the headphone kiosk is Hagen Das. Dulce de leche is by far my favorite ice cream and I couldn't pass up a shake on a day like this. The rest of my day was spent at Carlyne's house. Where I biked, participated in a water fight, ate seniores, drank forties, watched youtube, and played games on my phone. It's currently way to hot to sleep comfortably so i guess ill stay awake and drink orange juice until I'm too tired to care about how much I'm sweating. Shout out to Carlyne, Malari, Gino, Ragalado, Han, Phil, and Bobs for making my Monday a good one.
