What is my purpose here on earth? And why am I alive? That is what I would like to know. Sometimes I wish I were never born because I dislike the feelings of being sad, or lonely, or betrayed, or hurt physical and emotionally or whatever negative feelings that'll turn your smiles to frowns.
But if I weren't on this earth, I would have missed out on my first day on this world, first poo poo and pee pee, first tooth, first day of any type of school, first love, first job, first car, first motorcycle, first of everything you've spent with someone. As of this moment, I'm really happy where I stand. I'm in a stable place in my life and things from here from what I see can only get brighter. I have a very bright future ahead of me.
Life is promosing. In God I trust.

A Day in the Life
Today was a fairly exciting day at work. I come into work hearing praises from the store manager and the other assistant managers that were present in the morning. It was an awfully busy day of customer service and down stpcking items that were located on pallets up on the overhead. Everything went smoothly, besides a customer that had a really think accent, which I could hardly understand because of it. Besides that, I saw a familiar face that I haven't seen in months at work, my buddy Ian from Floor & Wall. We used to close every Thursday and Friday, and now, there's no one really to talk to. Dude, I totally forgot that Ian from Electrical closes with me.
Anyway, I left work an hour early since there were already 3 other employees from Plumbing on the floor. As soon as I stepped foot out of the work perimeter, I raced home to change my polo into a nice shirt before heading over to pick up my date to the car show at the San Diego Convention Center. I rang the doorbell, and after slowly swinging the door open, my first thought of her when I saw her was the word 'sexy'. It just best describes what she was wearing. No matter what she wears, she always makes it look sooo good. She's really an incredible girl that's one in a million.
There were some beautiful cars there ranging from the infamous Dodge Magnum that Jaina & her girl friends talk about to the new Chevy Camaro to the Mini Cooper to the BMW M6 to the Aston Martin DBS, which I thought was the absolute best car I had seen there. Everything about the car was beautiful. I just instantly fell in love with it. A car on my wish list for Santa next year...if I win the lotto, it'll be an early gift. We took a couple pictures of cars which we thought were worthy of taking pictures with or of and the exception of motorcycles they also had there from the BMW K1200 to the Suzuki Hiyabusa 1350. Lots of beautiful cars there.
Afterwards, we stopped through Pho Cadao for pho, egg rolls and tai tea w/o boba. The restaurant was packed, thus resulting in a little longer wait for the food than expected. Otherwise, the food was exceptional. Filled my tummy and made me fat. Then headed back to Jaina's house to chill and relax. Spent some wonderful time with her, although I wanted to hold her in my arms a little bit more. Besides all that, we watched some programs on television. My favorite show out of the shows we watched was 'Ninja Warrior'.
After that, I decided to go home and sleep for the great shift of a 5AM start. Whoopie...more like noooooooo!! Bit whatever I get off with time to spare in the evening. Later in the day, Janey is bringing me along to accompany for her God-sisters birthday dinner and celebration over at Silk in Temecula...what else is there in Temecula??
Well time to sleep.
Peace and love.

Just Around the Corner
Christmas is just 4 days away. It's crazy because I'm still not ready. I wish I could have gotten something for everyone and I feel really bad for purchasing a gift for myself rather than for friends and family. How selfish of me, but I had to have them. I gave myself an early Christmas present on these crazy pair of supra 14k gold kicks. I love them, even if Jabey doesn't like them, other people think they're fresh.
Well, the next time I return to facevalue I'll be purchasing me a pair of gray common projects. These kicks are made in Italy, probably a brand you've never even heard of, but I'm about to blow this fad and your ass wide open. My new steez, don't imitate, don't hate, never late. You likey? Just made that whole blah blah stuff up. May also pick me up a pair of evisu heritage jeans as well. I like them slim, guess it's a new thing of mine. But not to the point where these jeans are skin tight. Something that has slowly grown upon me. I admit, I made fun of the people that wore tight jeans/denim. It's cliche I tell you. This fad is in and it's beginning to be apart of my steez. Recognize real! This is who I am. Get in with the program.
I need to post up pictures soon because ya'll are probably tired of reading my BS. Ya'll need some pictures every now and then so ya'll know what the dealnis with me. I'll be doing a post after this. Strictly photos and comments.
So I'm done with Jordan brand, it's beginning to
become a brand everyone can get their hands on, and I want kicks nobody has ever seen before. I want to start a whole other trend/fad, my own steez. I'm strictly Air maxes and Nike Uptowns (a.k.a. Nike air force 1).
Well back on point, My good friend/co-worker Dominique left the 6679 family. It was sad because she was tearing up. Dude, i miss those
days of the OG cashiers. When we first began. Now everybody is spreading amd doing their own personal
agenda. Thing are getting more serious and should start to do that on a cosistent basis, but my brain relapses amd completely knocks off my concentration.
Anyway, i got Janey a gift, but I'm not telling till after Christmas. She might suddenly start reading my blog. It's going to be a pair of kicks concealed with a real good present inside. I want to see her face when she opens it.
I'm calling it a night, waking up real early tomorrow. Before the butt crack of dawn.
Good night and sleep tight.

Frustration
I am frustrated at the factthat I put myself back in this world of pain. But I just had this tjought in the back of my mind. It's just crazy how a complete stranger can affect your mentality. And how much a complete stranger can easily manipulate you into getting a piece off ass. As derigatory as it seems, it happened. And the one person I truly surrendered my heart to is shattered once again. I have this mental memory distilled in my brain now and it just won't go away.
Why am I still holding on?! Because a piece of me is strong, and can overcome any obstacle that's put forward in life, but a small percentage of me has doubt. That this might happen once more, and if that sitution were to arise again, this would be the last and final chance I will give her. With that said, I have this invisible force field that will only let you go so far. I have another one located by my heart because I'm afraid that if this happens again, that it will definitely damage my functionalities. Pain is love. Why do people conform to this metaphor? I once did and now all i see from pain is pain and not love. My mind is clouded by a mixture of this mental memory, past memories, hatred, unforgiveness, and being upset.
I'll give one more shot of love, and this doesn't work out, then I'll throw in the towel, wave the white flag, tip over my king in chess. I feel that she's holding me back from doing ecerything I want to do and accomplish in life. I was doing so well in school, then I had to go out ad find this girl, and now school is fucked!! I stop attending most classes, drama created most of the missed classes, and if I did attend class, I wouldn't be able to concentrate because of yhe drama. Sometimes, things are unacoidable and you just have to face them head on. I don't back down from anything. Who cares what people think about you, all that matters is that you are comfortable in your own skin.
This winter break gives me some much needed time away from school. I'm planning this master plan. I want to leave this city without letting anyone know where I'm going or where to contact me. Just some time to travel around the globe and hopefully finding a ray of light outnof it. I would miss everything I left behind, but it'll start off a new chapter of my life. I'm down with my share of fucking around. I'm getting down with the nitty gritty to get what a rightfully deserve. I want everything, except a significant other. M.O.B. man. That's my mindset. But dont get me wrong, I love women. I need to put myself out there because my shyness is not getting me around anywhere in life. Fuck this array of bullshit that was placed upon me. Fuck fuck fuck!! I'm mad at the world...I'm kidding, I'm mad at myself.
Save me Lord.

Almost Christmas!!
It's only a couple of days till X-Mas and I'm really excited, but yet, I'm not ready. There's a lot of presents still needed to be purchased and passed out. Well, this is what consisted of all the posts the I missed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a company X-Mas party over at Dave & Buster's. And the food there was terrible. The chicken was DRY, the pasta was DRY, and the shrimp...well you guessed it, DRY!! Other than the food, the drinks made up for it. I was really hoping to get something out of this X-Mas party like a present like how it was last year, but that didn't happen. So a couple of employees left the party empty handed. But to those that won, congratulations, you lucky bitches!! ahaha.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
next up, the titty bar! i ended up going to a titty bar after this high school party we attended. I felt like an old man in there because it was filled with a bunch of loud and obnoxious kids running around consuming alcohol. I got a little bit of it, which was much needed.
well, we left about an hour into the party because it was getting kinda boring. So we decided to go to the titty bar. It was alright for a Saturday. Kinda wished that there were more girls that were better looking. A lot of the girls were booty ugly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We stopped by early in the evening for some Yogurt World. It was super duper good! I need another fix of some yogurt now. And this time, I'll put a couple more toppings on there.
Next, a night of chillen playing the Wii. I'm addicted to Guitar Hero III, trying to beat it in hard. And goshdarnit, it is "hard". It's almost completed though. Then later into the night, we decided to hit up a karoake restaurant. It was interesting because it was my first time ever going to one of those. It was a Korean restaurant that served Chilled flavored SOJU, which sort of tastes like Sake. Anyways, we sang till 2 in the morning until they made us leave. We were the last ones there. Then, we went home again to play some more Guitar Hero before they passed out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought I would be going to Vegas this weekend, but I didn't end up doing that.
I thought I would be going Snowboarding instead of Vegas, but we didn't do that either.
Well, another day, another time.
Critically Acclaimed is soon to be coming to a body near you.
Peace.

It's Been a Long Time
...I shouldn't have left you, without a dope beat to step to. Well, I just shouldn't have left this blogger for so long. I've been really busy. With what? That's a good question. I've just been really busy lately that I haven't really obligated some time on here. Anyways, I'll be hitting up this store called facevalue. and I'll give you some light on what to expect. But as for now, I'll have to check this spot out with my cousin who knows everyone there, or shall I say, everyone knows him. I met a couple of cool dudes from facevalue. (which is a clothing/shoe spot). Anyways, I was doing some promoting for them while at this fashion show for an ex-girl of mine. I'm not sure what to describe of her now. Just dating I guess, but doing everything else a normal couple would do (kinda strange).
Well, nothing's new with me. Just another year grazing by and everyone getting a year older. But the good thing about getting older is that you keep getting wiser, and if not more good looking or for women, beautiful then it's the opposite of that, ugly. I'm kidding!! Beauty is described in many ways, and you definitely can't judge a book by their cover.
It's weird to say, but I have this interest in modeling now. As soon as Jaina gets back from Vegas with her girls, she'll be taking some pictures of myself to send over to Dr. Jay's, which is a clothing/shoe spot online. They're starting off at $25/hour and hopefully, I'll end up with a lot of hours. This will be just a side thing though. Nothing big unless it takes me somewhere, and I'll go along with the ride.
Besides all that, Thanksgiving was boring, but I had a good time. Eating all the food. I went back for thirds. The food was that good. I just can't wait till Christmas Eve where we'll be spending it at my Uncle Leo's house. I'm going to be so shit faced because I know they're going to make me drink, and I'm definitely going to grubbin' on the tradition of subway 12 footers and homemade banana nut bread and chocolate chip cookies. Plus more of the good Filipino dishes. I'm excited, and Christmas is just around the corner.
I can't wait till school is over. I'm sick and tired of it already. And for the past week, I've been attending SDSU with Jaina rather than going to my school. I needed it though because CSUSM is just a boring school with such a boring atmosphere. I need life, and SDSU has been calling me and luring me in to attend their school sending me emails and everything. And I bit, and hopefully, I'll be transfering there in the Fall of 2008. Can't wait...really looking forward to it.
I have also managed to do some personal training on my own with a friend of mine. He was ranked there with Reggie Bush as the top running backs in the nation. And is it a coincidence that they have the same first name? Reggie Ross, you'll be hearing his name a lot, and hopefully he'll make it to the NFL. He's excited to work, and so am I. He even asked me to be his agent, which I'm considering taking. Just gotta get him out into the open.
Well, yesterday it rained, and I hope that it doesn't today. I'll keep up with my posts, hopefully!
ONE LOVE.

A Brief Synopsis of Everything That's Happened
Let me start off by congratulating my homey Merle for turning 23 years old! One of the homies that I can say that has helped me through some rough times. It was November 8th, 2007 and I was stoked because I did not have work that day. And guess what I ended up doing that day?
Well first, I attended class and picked up my exam. I didn't do so well because of my lack of studying plus me having short term memory and all. But I easily get distracted and tired from reading and writing over and over and over again. Anyways, I ended up leaving a couple of minutes early because I just could not take anymore from my professor. His lectures are as boring as school itself. And since I got off early, I called my friend/barber, David. So after class, I swooped through David's for a quick cut before Merle's Birthday.
And then, Jaina called me and told me that she wanted to get her tattoos. I was like, "Now? Are you serious?" So after I got done with my haircut, I went straight to Jaina's house to pick her up and take her to the parlor. I actually had a good time with her and at the tattoo parlor. Everyone there was straight chill and honestly, I felt like I worked there, walking around freely amongst the rooms. But I was so amazed on how good Jaina's tattoos were. She added two tattoos. The first one, cherry blossoms on her left lower back, and the second, a rosary around her left wrist. The art and detail are so amazing, that every time I see them, I just have to kiss them. I wanted to so much, but I had to control myself since we were just friends. How hard it was to hold back. But when she got her tattoos, I held her hands because I knew how much pain it was to get tattoos. And that's when I was thinking in my head, I miss this. I haven't done this is quite a long time, and it feels real good!
Anyways, after a long day of tattoos, about 5 hours to be exact, we decided to get some food. But it had to be quick because we were running late on Merle's surprise at the Miramar Speed Circuit. Jaina and I ordered the Teriyaki Burger combo. One of my favorites of the menu besides the Jalapeno burger. Jaina was a beast, she ate her food in a matter of 15 minutes. I was shocked!
Well, we ended up making it on time with time to spare before Sarah brought Merle to the Speed Circuit. To my surprise, it was only Jaina and I, along with Romin, David and his girl, Cherie to surprise Merle while everyone came late. It was sad. :( Well, we got to race and man, that was so fun. Even though I got 4th place in the actual race, it didn't really matter because it was a blast! Before the race, I had to drop Jaina off because she had an exam she had to study for, but I told her that she didn't need to because I would hook her up with a doctor's note to get excused. It was good that she didn't race anyways because if she did, she probably would've been in so much pain because of the bumping from Luke. I swear, my friend Luke is such a terrible, reckless driver. A cheater basically.

Me and my boy David
Rest of the Homies
After the race, we traveled Downtown to eat at "The Stripper's Club." And no, it's not what you think it is. It's an actual restaurant where you order your steak, and cook it yourself. It's a good experience, but the wait was just so long. We waited 30 minutes just for raw steaks, and it took another 15-20 minutes to cook. But it was pretty good. I didn't eat, but I got my drank on. Anyways, I was kinda bored because I honestly just wanted to go home and sleep, plus I wanted to talk to Jaina about the whole night, and tell her how much she missed out on.
On November 9th, 2007, I woke up and went over to Jaina's house at around 10:30 because I had promised her dad that I would mow his lawn because he had cut his foot moving a glass table, and a piece of glass had cut his foot. So he wanted to keep his foot sanitary. And crazy as it seems, I wanted to take Jaina out to the mall to do some shopping. So after I was done, I went home, changed, and headed back to her house to pick her up. She said that she needed long sleeves, and that she wanted to go to Forever 21 to get them. They have so much good clothes there for cheap, it makes me wonder why they can't have a shop for men similar to this without having other people make fun of you.
Before we actually went shopping, we decided to get a fix. A fix on some coffee to be exact. I ordered a Peppermint Mocha Frap and Jaina had order a White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Frap. Both were iced, and my coffee was gollygoshdarnit good. Then we headed over to Forever 21 to get her long sleeves. We ended up getting more than just long sleeves, and ended up getting outfits. I told her to go ahead and try on whatever she wanted. So she did. And for the first time, I actually enjoyed it because I was spending some quality time with her. She tried on everything she and I had picked out and I critique what looked flattering, and what didn't. She decided that she would pick out the ones that she wanted, but I decided to get her all the clothes that she wanted. Sounds crazy doesn't it. I just took out my ex-girlfriend on a just missed out on $400 shopping spree.
To be honest with you, I owed it to her, for always being there when I needed her. And the nice and loving person that I am, I wanted to show her how crazy I was about her and how much I can show her that my main focus is her. But anyways, we decided to head over to the Apple store because my headphones, well, the left side of my headphones lost sound, so we had set up an appointment. After that, we past by Charlotte Russe, and she was looking in there. I asked her if she wanted to go in, and she refused nicely, but I took her in with me anyways. She ended up trying on two pairs of shoes since they had a sale going on, buy two get the second 50% off. To her surprise, I wanted to pay for them. So, clothes and shoes!
Then, we decided to stop through L&L's to eat, but ended up at Willy's Workshop instead. Jaina wanted to buy me something over there. I told her that I didn't want anything, and then she told me that she would buy me some shoes. I told her that I didn't want any, but I couldn't refuse. She had picked out a pair of vans chukkas for me that were dope! I want to get her those vans classics that were the same material. Those were dope too! Anyways, we decided not to eat L&L's and we were on our way back to the car. Jaina saw some clothes in a store at Fashion Sense and I decided to pull her in. We looked around the store and she came across a jacket and a red dress. I told her to try on both. The red dress was sexy, but it didn't have a flattering tight fit. And I liked the jacket because I thought it would be fitting on a cold night on the town. So I bought her the jacket and I seriously spent over $1000 on her. I'm crazy to be doing this, but I'm just crazy in love.
I dropped her off because I had work at 6PM-11PM. I worked my shift and headed over to Louie's house to pick up my ID from Angel who I let borrow because he doesn't have his ID. People say we look alike, so I go along with everyone that he's my twin. And now that he has his haircut, we get mistaken a lot more because his haircut is kinda similar to mine. Anyway, I told them that I was going Downtown to hit up the clubs. Originally, it was just going to be me, but Luke and Louie's brother, Limuel wanted to go. But only Limuel was down to go.
So we left and hit up the Gaslamp District, Downtown. It was popping as usual on a Friday night. First, we stopped at Aubergine's, but the club was wack...no one was there! Then we walked to Stingaree's. It was actually pretty nice in there, but the drinks were major expensive. Limuel spent $140 on himself alone. Anyways, I saw Jaina there, but she was too twisted to remember anything. I finally saw what this dude looks like, and seriously, I can kill this fool with one punch. But what's violence going to solve? Nothing! So I restricted myself from doing anything and Jaina's friends held me back from doing anything. Then, Jaina's friends wanted me to leave with them. So I did, and just talked to them.
I decided to call them and ask them if they wanted to eat somewhere. They did, so we met up at Roberto's off of Miramar Road. I had three rolled tacos and a flour tortilla, and I was being such a girl because I couldn't finish it. It was because my mouth was so dry! Well, we just ended up talking for a bit before heading out and home. I actually had a good time that night and Jaina was making some unnecessary actions that night.
November 10th, 2007, I received a call from Jaina at 6:30 in the morning. But I was so pissed at her, that I didn't even want to pick it up. So I didn't and went back to sleep. And then Kylene, Jaina's friend, called me at around 7:30AM asking me if I've seen Jaina because Jaina's dad had called a left a message for Kylene asking if she had seen Jaina. And then Jaina's dad calls me a couple minutes after I get off the phone with Kylene. It was crazy!! I knew where she was at, so I decided to go there and find her. I was really worried about her. Her phone was off so there was no way of contacting her.
After finding nothing, I came back home and stopped through Kylene's work, the same place Jaina works at. I decided to talk to Kylene and calm her down because she was stressing the whole day, and especially since she's only had 2 hours of sleep. She's crazy for doing that, and doing that for a friend. Well, I decided to go home and just wait for anything from Jaina. And then, as soon as I got home, I got a call from this number. So I picked up, and to my amazement, it was Jaina. She had told me that she was ok, but I was pretty pissed at her because of how she made everyone worry so much about her. But I calmed down, and just told her that everyone was really worried about her.
Anyways, I called Jaina's dad and told him that she was okay. Then I called Kylene at her work to tell her that everything was alright so she wouldn't have to stress anymore. Then, a half an hour passed, and she calls me with her phone. She wants to come over and use my restroom. I don't want to be rude by telling her no, so I agree to let her use it. I even made some green tea for her hang over that she had from the previous night. Anyways, I just told her to rest until she feels comfortable going home. Then she started talking about how she didn't remember doing this and that. And how she feels bad about what she did in front of me. Honestly, I was pissed, and I let her know that. I couldn't forgive her for what she did. And then we just talked, and I was just hugging and comforting her, and then we started to talk about us. Then I just started to kiss her, and to my astonishment, she was actually making an effort to kiss back.
At around 12:30PM, I told her that it was time to go home. But she didn't want to go alone and asked me if I could go with her. And being the person that I am, I agree to go because I want to be there to for her. After getting out of the car, I was holding her hand approaching to the door of her house where Jaina's dad was waiting for her. Before we walked through, I gave her a kiss to show her that I'll be here. They we walked in, and Jaina's dad was pretty darn angry at her and gave her a lecture that she needed. I was going to leave for work again at 2PM-11PM, but I called in work and told Wayne that I would be late for work. Jaina didn't want me to leave because she had to talk with her mom as soon as she came home. But later, Jaina didn't want me to leave at all, so I decided to not go to work at all.
We just ended up talking, and Jaina had mentioned that she was going to call it quits with the other dude, and just end it as friends. Honestly, that was the best thing I ever heard from her because he was actually a jerk that just wanted to get some. We talked a little bit more, then we lied beside one another and I decided to make a move and kiss her passionately. I just wanted to prove to her that I can be Mr. Romantic. That I'm the one, the one that's been in front of her face the whole entire time. I guess you can say that we're trying to work things out, but I'm just going with the flow. Nothing official, just talking and seeing what comes out of it. I ended up sleeping with her till 2AM and decided to call it a night because I had work on Sunday, November 11.
Work was alright, as everything went casually and smoothly. Drama Free! It was great, just being care and stress free. And then I ended up staying at my abode and watching some television and doing some deep thinking. And now, it's time for me to rest.
Good Morning/Night to everyone!
And Happy Veterans Day!
Well first, I attended class and picked up my exam. I didn't do so well because of my lack of studying plus me having short term memory and all. But I easily get distracted and tired from reading and writing over and over and over again. Anyways, I ended up leaving a couple of minutes early because I just could not take anymore from my professor. His lectures are as boring as school itself. And since I got off early, I called my friend/barber, David. So after class, I swooped through David's for a quick cut before Merle's Birthday.
And then, Jaina called me and told me that she wanted to get her tattoos. I was like, "Now? Are you serious?" So after I got done with my haircut, I went straight to Jaina's house to pick her up and take her to the parlor. I actually had a good time with her and at the tattoo parlor. Everyone there was straight chill and honestly, I felt like I worked there, walking around freely amongst the rooms. But I was so amazed on how good Jaina's tattoos were. She added two tattoos. The first one, cherry blossoms on her left lower back, and the second, a rosary around her left wrist. The art and detail are so amazing, that every time I see them, I just have to kiss them. I wanted to so much, but I had to control myself since we were just friends. How hard it was to hold back. But when she got her tattoos, I held her hands because I knew how much pain it was to get tattoos. And that's when I was thinking in my head, I miss this. I haven't done this is quite a long time, and it feels real good!
Anyways, after a long day of tattoos, about 5 hours to be exact, we decided to get some food. But it had to be quick because we were running late on Merle's surprise at the Miramar Speed Circuit. Jaina and I ordered the Teriyaki Burger combo. One of my favorites of the menu besides the Jalapeno burger. Jaina was a beast, she ate her food in a matter of 15 minutes. I was shocked!
Well, we ended up making it on time with time to spare before Sarah brought Merle to the Speed Circuit. To my surprise, it was only Jaina and I, along with Romin, David and his girl, Cherie to surprise Merle while everyone came late. It was sad. :( Well, we got to race and man, that was so fun. Even though I got 4th place in the actual race, it didn't really matter because it was a blast! Before the race, I had to drop Jaina off because she had an exam she had to study for, but I told her that she didn't need to because I would hook her up with a doctor's note to get excused. It was good that she didn't race anyways because if she did, she probably would've been in so much pain because of the bumping from Luke. I swear, my friend Luke is such a terrible, reckless driver. A cheater basically.

After the race, we traveled Downtown to eat at "The Stripper's Club." And no, it's not what you think it is. It's an actual restaurant where you order your steak, and cook it yourself. It's a good experience, but the wait was just so long. We waited 30 minutes just for raw steaks, and it took another 15-20 minutes to cook. But it was pretty good. I didn't eat, but I got my drank on. Anyways, I was kinda bored because I honestly just wanted to go home and sleep, plus I wanted to talk to Jaina about the whole night, and tell her how much she missed out on.
On November 9th, 2007, I woke up and went over to Jaina's house at around 10:30 because I had promised her dad that I would mow his lawn because he had cut his foot moving a glass table, and a piece of glass had cut his foot. So he wanted to keep his foot sanitary. And crazy as it seems, I wanted to take Jaina out to the mall to do some shopping. So after I was done, I went home, changed, and headed back to her house to pick her up. She said that she needed long sleeves, and that she wanted to go to Forever 21 to get them. They have so much good clothes there for cheap, it makes me wonder why they can't have a shop for men similar to this without having other people make fun of you.
Before we actually went shopping, we decided to get a fix. A fix on some coffee to be exact. I ordered a Peppermint Mocha Frap and Jaina had order a White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Frap. Both were iced, and my coffee was gollygoshdarnit good. Then we headed over to Forever 21 to get her long sleeves. We ended up getting more than just long sleeves, and ended up getting outfits. I told her to go ahead and try on whatever she wanted. So she did. And for the first time, I actually enjoyed it because I was spending some quality time with her. She tried on everything she and I had picked out and I critique what looked flattering, and what didn't. She decided that she would pick out the ones that she wanted, but I decided to get her all the clothes that she wanted. Sounds crazy doesn't it. I just took out my ex-girlfriend on a just missed out on $400 shopping spree.
To be honest with you, I owed it to her, for always being there when I needed her. And the nice and loving person that I am, I wanted to show her how crazy I was about her and how much I can show her that my main focus is her. But anyways, we decided to head over to the Apple store because my headphones, well, the left side of my headphones lost sound, so we had set up an appointment. After that, we past by Charlotte Russe, and she was looking in there. I asked her if she wanted to go in, and she refused nicely, but I took her in with me anyways. She ended up trying on two pairs of shoes since they had a sale going on, buy two get the second 50% off. To her surprise, I wanted to pay for them. So, clothes and shoes!
Then, we decided to stop through L&L's to eat, but ended up at Willy's Workshop instead. Jaina wanted to buy me something over there. I told her that I didn't want anything, and then she told me that she would buy me some shoes. I told her that I didn't want any, but I couldn't refuse. She had picked out a pair of vans chukkas for me that were dope! I want to get her those vans classics that were the same material. Those were dope too! Anyways, we decided not to eat L&L's and we were on our way back to the car. Jaina saw some clothes in a store at Fashion Sense and I decided to pull her in. We looked around the store and she came across a jacket and a red dress. I told her to try on both. The red dress was sexy, but it didn't have a flattering tight fit. And I liked the jacket because I thought it would be fitting on a cold night on the town. So I bought her the jacket and I seriously spent over $1000 on her.

So we left and hit up the Gaslamp District, Downtown. It was popping as usual on a Friday night. First, we stopped at Aubergine's, but the club was wack...no one was there!

Music is a Big Influence
It's amazing how much music makes the world go round. I mean, there's so much music in the world that I haven't heard yet, but the more and more you listen to the diversity of music, you get deeper into the beats, the singer/lyricist, the lyrics itself. I love music, and I don't know where I would be without it. When everything goes bad, I can also fall back on music to help me through anything. Music is an influence of everything, culture, religion, school, sleeping, walking, etc. But at the end of the day, I'll always fall back on hip-hop.
I leave you with a video. New 2Pac song.

A New Chapter of Life
My sobbing and secluding myself from everyone has gotten me no where in life. And that's why, I'm moving on. I am currently a bachelor again, and I'm not proud of it. I love Jaina a lot, but all I can do is just give her the spacethat she needs. I have been doing too much right now, and I'm realizing this. I'm only pushing her further and further away from me. It's just as of right now, we're not feeling that same connection. I wish I could make it up to her, and I'm slowly doing this.
I'm really glad that we ended up on good terms because I can talk to her about anything. She has always been a best friend and someone that has always been there for me for these past couple of years together. And I'll be returning the favor. I love her to death, and even if we end up as being just friends is better than not having her in my life at all. Will this story end up happy ever after? Only time will tell the future of this outcome.
But as I got home from work, I had to tell my mom the news about Jaina and I's recent split. It was tear dropping for me. As much as I had to say it, I didn't want to because I wanted to hold on to her so much. But after talking with her, she relaxed me and told me it wasn't the end of the world. That's really what I wanted to hear from her. The comfort of a loving mother, how I love her dearly. Anyways, she had told me that this is just something that I must overcome in order to become a stronger individual. Just one of many challenges life has to offer. So far, I'm holding my ground, and I'm letting go of something I held on to tightly. As she moves on, I shall also. Come to think about it, I'm still at a young age of 22. We have plenty of time on our hands, and time will tell.
What's next for me? I just have to move on. Sometimes, things happen for a reason, and time is the only cure for it. I'll always keep in contact with my ex-fiancee/best friend. And I can always talk to her about anything. From everyone else, thank you for the love and support for getting me through this tough time. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, as it's slowly trying to rebuild.
To Jaina: I hope things will work out for the best. I know that I haven't always done the brightest things, but I try hard to make-up for them. This time, it'll take some time to work out, and I understand your decision. You will always have and be in my heart. I'll always be here for you know matter what. You know who to talk to. It's hard to let go, and I'll definitely be missing all the good memories. But, I know that we'll continue to talk in the long run. I miss you so much and love your with all my hearts content.
Life is an obstacle. We must overcome them to be STRONGER individuals.

All Is Not Lost
I have to admit, I have been pretty miserable these past two days, and come to think about it, I could never really last long with breaks. It's just hard for me to adapt from being constantly together, then to not see her or say, "I love you!", or give hugs and kisses. But everything is ok now. I talked to Jaina about a half an hour before this post and I told her everything that I had on my mind. And I'm glad that I did that because now, my mind feels a bit more free. I realized that everything that went bad was because of me. I have said and done the stupidest things that caused our first break up, and that didn't end up too well. I ended up failing almost every course that I took during that semester. I was just so depressed for the remaining year; it happened last year. And now that it was a new year, I completely blanked my mind out from everything that happened last year and I wanted to start off nice and fresh. But a couple of months into it, she wasn't happy. Just me doing this, me doing that. It just seems that everything I do isn't enough for her. I'm not sure what to do. All I can do is just express how much she means to me, and how much I want to spend my life with her.
But worst came to worst and she just couldn't take it. Honestly, she's right. We do need a break. And I'm just pushing her to take me back because I'm afraid that there might not be a next time. I truly want to be with her for the rest of my life, and if this is the only way that I could prove to her that this time will be different, then I shall do whatever it takes to have her back in my life. To get settle things down in my dilemma, I have resorted to the BIBLE. I have been reading the BIBLE on my iPhone, which is great because it's compatible and I'm always on that piece of technology. I'm just hooked like a fish, or a cigarette smoker, or alcoholic; well you know what I mean. Anyways, I have began reading from Genesis, and I'm currently on the 4th chapter. Man, I love my iPhone.
Anyway, this break up is not totally a break up for good. Just some time needed away from each other, so we can settle into our own, and pay off bills and splurge on ourselves. That's what she told me, but honestly, I'm already doing that, and I love splurgin' on her. How I wish that money did not overpower everyone. MONEY is the boss of everyone. People need it to survive in this world.
I'm not bickering and bursting into tears anymore, but I'm still a bit sad about this break. It's difficult not saying that things that you want to say, like "baby, princess, or I love you!" Hopefully, this relationship will be reconciled sometime soon. I'm a bit fatigued and fragile at the moment with everything that has been going on. I need to work out, get some energy, and get stronger. I need school to be done with already. I need a vacation.
I will NEVER stop loving you and I will NEVER try. My heart has always been with you.
A little prayer before I sleep.
Thank you LORD for everything that you have provided for me.
I realize that everything can't be perfect and only by learning through mistakes, we shall realize and correct what we did wrong.
I'm so thankful for the life you have given me, even though sometimes, I wish I wasn't born.
Please help me get through my troubles and the future that lies ahead.
And please watch over my familiy, my friends, Jaina, and even the bad people around the world.
Amen.
Good night everyone.

Love is Painful
Just as the title claims, "Love is Painful." After talking and reminiscing good ol' times with a couple co-workers, well, more like friends, Yul and Jared, I decided to talk to who was at the time, my girlfriend/fiancee. We decided, that things weren't working out as expected, so we decided to go our seperate ways for awhile. I was pretty sad to see her slip away from my fingers, and especially away from my heart. But what can I do?...Nothing really. But I have been with her for about 2 years and 10 months before we broke up. My heart has definitely shattered and disintegrated into nothing but dust. I would really love to grow old with her, but only time will tell. Maybe we're not meant to be? Well, I'm trying to move on because I don't want to be a burden to her any longer. My mind is just scrambling everywhere! And I just need a shoulder to cry on because I'm hurt.
All I can do now is concentrate on school and hopefully things will come into play. There's no doubt that I'll always love her, and she always has someone to talk to. I just can't help but reminisce about the good and the bad of our relationship.
I leave you off on a good note...this is all about the teachings of life. And happy endings don't always occur.
Just a couple of pictures from yesterday.
Jared's order.
Ulster's order.
Ulster's drink because he couldn't drink beer. Sorry man.
Kirin Beer is super SMOOOTTTHHH!! And don't forget Jared!
And my order. Small, but I was pretty full off of it.
Life's teachings are unpredictable. Cherish what you have before you lose them.

Free From My Shackles!!!
October 11, 2007, I officially got my brackets removed from my mouf! Boy, was I stoked. It was the weirdest feeling in my mouth after it was removed. I told Jared this earlier, "I feel like i can talk quicker, like I can rap as fast as Twista with all of this weight off!" Yeah right, I wish I could. That was the highlight of my day.
But moments later, when imprisoned in work, I talked to the new HR because I was about an hour early. I decided to head up to work right after my appointment because I was low on gas (getting really expensive and hurting the hell out of my pockets). Anyway, the new HR's name is Jessie. She's a chick, and for some reason, I just wasn't feelin her. I told her about my situation and how I needed a raise. So she pulled out my file, and she saw that I had an attendance problem that ended on April 2007. That was about a 5 months ago. I asked her if that was the reason that I haven't been getting a raise, and she said, "Yes!" They she said this in her exact words, "If I were the district manager, I would not approve you for this raise." So I told her, "If that's the case, then I'm going to quit!" I was really upset when I heard that from her mouth. I just wanted to argue with her about how much dedication I put into my job, basically all of my heart and soul. It's just upsetting that managers can't appreciate good help. Everything was going smoothly before Donovan's fat ass came through the store. It's his fault everything is so fucked up.
I talked to Ron, a co-worker in my department about the situation, and also Ernie. They were bummed and infuritated at the fact that she would say something like that. I guess Ron, told my supervisor, Jeff about the whole situation. Jeff talked to me and told me that he'll talk to Donovan on Saturday about the situation. Jeff also had something else to tell me. He had told me that when he first brought up the raise to Donovan and Theresa, they're excuse was that everyone was getting their hours cut, so he wouldn't approve anyone for a raise. The first thing that came to my mind was, "Bullshit!" For some reason, I think Donovan is just racist.
So today, was also Vince's (lot technician), a good buddy of mine from high school, last day at the Depot. Congratulations for him!! How lucky he is to get away from such a terrible store. For some reason, I think Donovan doesn't know how hard we fuckin work. I wish that Robert, our previous store manager was still around, and the other ASM's...Pedro, Todd, and other's I forgot to mention. They were the sickest staff I have ever worked with. I was cool with everyone of them.
Well, If nothing comes about from Jeff's talk with Donovan, I'll be putting in my two weeks and looking for a job elsewhere. Hopefully, I'll be able to find one right away.
I just had to get this one in: Someone at the Depot, not telling any names...Ron...told me that the reason why Robert moved to the Encinitas stores was because him and Theresa had something going on. And the funny thing is, Theresa is training to be a store manager at Encinitas. Coincidence?! I guess so. Fuck that bitch!! She never did anything for me, and I hope that she fails at everything she does. Seriously!
I'll leave you off with something positive.

Golly Gosh Darn it
I just recently asked for another raise. And if I don't get it, I am really going to quit this time. This underappreciation is pushing me to the limits, and nothing is being done. This is my second time writing this stupid little summary on why I deserve a raise. If these people actually walked around the building, instead of staying in their stupid little offices, then they would know how much effort I put into everything I do. But the only thing that's holding me back is leaving all the great co-workers, turned into friends. I have made such good relationships with everyone there...joking, laughing, just having fun. And that's how work should be...Fun! Anyways, I didn't get the job as a Personal Trainer, and I haven't heard anything from Oreck Vacuum. I want to be a salesman there, and I could be darn good at it. Looks very simple and easy to learn. How hard could it be? Harder than Plumbing? I highly doubt that. And plus, they don't have a lot of inventory to remember and not to forget, stock. These two people have done nothing for me. Not to name any names...Donovan...Theresa...I HATE BOTH OF YOU, AND I HOPE THAT YOU FAIL IN WHATEVER YOU DO! Seriously, I'm glad that Theresa our HR is leaving, because she's such a pain. And Donovan...such a lazy waste of flesh and blood...and fat!! Get out of your chair, off your butt, and do something...geez!!
Well, I'm slowly getting out of the Jordan game, well just decreasing my shoe collection in order to make some space in my room which is slowly being renovated; contractors are extending my room, adding about 3 feet. Can't wait!! And I'll also be installing my ceiling fan after everything is completed. It'll be my own little project, and not to mention, free of charge! Sorry Ulster, I'm slowly leaving Jordan's...well, just getting rid of Jordan's that are common nowadays. But I'm holding on to my Laser IV's and Mocha III's. I'm still wanting those Black Laser IV's and I'll also be looking for another pair of DS or VNDS Infrared VI's. I just traded for a pair of kicks. OG Jordan VIII's (white/black) and VNDS Laney V's. Can't wait. for these to arrive. I don't know If I'll be rocking the VIII's...maybe use them as basketball shoes...not really sure what I want to do with these yet...probably sell em for some much needed cash. Anyway, I want to take another trip to NY...so i can get two hot dogs and their famous drinks for $3.99. Use to be $2.99. Anyways, I'm fiending for some hot dogs. I leave you with this picture.
Oh, how I miss NYC...Can't wait for the next trip. I miss you Grey's Papaya!

M.I.A.
The first 3 days, I could't walk on my own. I had to use the aide of crutches. Luckily I had some. But I asked my boy Merle to take me to the hospital since I couldn't put pressure on my ankle. What a friend, I can't thank him enough. Thanks dogg!!
So I went to the hospital and was seen by Dr. Neidal. He was cool with a British accent. Anyways, I took a blood pressure test and normally it's 140/74, but I was a 143/74 because I was in some pain. I knew I didn't break my left ankle because I could still move my toes, but there is this tremendous pain on the left side of my left ankle. I guess that's why I can't jump as high as I used to. Anyways, Dr. Neidal just checked where the pain was located at and told me to get an x-ray on the first floor...I was on the 6th. So I traveled all the way down to the x-ray room to get some pictures, then as quickly as I could, went all the way back up to the 6th floor and luckily I saw Dr. Neidal running around the rooms, otherwise, I would have waited another 10 minutes for him to come out and see me again.
So here's the news. Nothing was fractured, broken, etc. Thank God!! :) But I still had this excrutiating pain in my ankle. He told me to get off my feet for at least 2 weeks, so I'll be missing another week of work. But I have really been concentrating on school, which kind of worked out for the best. I didn't take any medications because I wanted to stay away from them actually.
Merle had to go somewhere else and asked me if I wanted to come along. I told him that I had to go into work today and tell them what happened. So I told him to drop me off. My girl came as soon as she got off school and drove me to The Home Depot. I was hoping to see Theresa the HR, but of course, she's never there. So I bumped into Alex and she was cool enough to understand the situation. I guess she thought that I broke my ankle because I had told her that it popped, but I also told her that I severly sprained my ankle. But I guess the whole "pop" thing just came out first. Anyway, I gave her my note and told her that I would be out for at least 2 weeks. I told her that if I'm able to come back sooner, then I would be able to, but she told me to get a note from the doctor's to have them clear me.
As of right now, my ankle is still tender, and I'm still feeling some pain when I apply pressure. When I'm at school, and trying to go up and down the stairs, I try not to bend my left foot and apply stress on it so that my foot will land flat on the steps. The situation is kind of bittersweet because I get to focus on school a bit more than stressing out from work, but I don't get paid. If I were to work now, I probably wouldn't be able to stand as much as I want to. And I would probably be cranky, and I wouldn't want that.
I have pretty much been at school or at home, resting my poor foot and trying to keep it elevated consistently. So there's my story. So to clear up all the misconfusion, I just had a severely sprained ankle. I've stayed away from work, and somehow I find out that everyone knows that I'm away from work, but think that I broke my ankle. It's like that Oreo commercial where those kids talk about that new Oreo cookie, but somehow, it ended up being about something else. It always ends up being misconstrued somehow.
REMEMBER SEPT 11, 2001. I can never forget that day. The agony, the pain, the anger, the retaliation. But will this war ever end? Will anyone ever win? Probably not. It's never ending. How can there be peace when there is violence? The world will never change.
UPDATE ON SNEAKERS:
So the bad news:
So about my Laser IV's...the dude scammed me and took my money. I was heated for a couple of days, but cooling down now. The serves me right to try and do this Money Order the second time. The third time is a charm right? wrong!! I'm not trying to do it. As far as Money Orders go, I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN!
BEWARE --- STAY AWAY FROM THIS DUDE ---> $$$JAbre_Omari$$$ <---
The good news is:
I traded a couple of my kicks...my Grape V's size 10.5 for the same shoe in size 11 and my graphite XIV's size 10.5 for Pacific VII's size 11.
I also picked up a pair of Nike Air Max 1 Viotechs. JARED'S GOING TO BE JEALOUS!! At least I hope so...lolz, i'm kidding!! :)
But that's that...the ups and downs of life.
Bye bye Jordan V Grapes
Bye bye Jordan XIV Graphites
Farewell.
Ulster, I'm still here dogg!! Aqua 8's??

Ouch!!!
I just got back from playing basketball...more like just ran up and down the courts a couple times before what I think may be a really really bad ankle sprain. I can only put some much pressure on it before I break down and crumble to the floor. And this was the first time I saw my boy Kevin who came down from Virginia for a couple of weeks. I don't know if I'll be able to work tomorrow, so I'm heading to the doctor's early in the morning to see what the deal is with this ankle. What luck I'm having today.
So this is what happened. I was defending my opponent before he was fouled by a teammate of mine and they both fell to the ground with my foot tangled in there. It was an excruciating pain that I instantly felt and quickly ran off the court and immediately tied my shoes as tight as possible. This is the worst I have ever felt towards my ankles. Usually, it's just a minor sprain, where the next day I would be able to play. I think I'll be out for a couple of weeks.
Anyways, I'm using crutches now because I don't want to apply pressure, even though I should so that it won't get worse. But I could definitely feel my ankles swelling up. I hope this doesn't ruin my interview on Sunday. Well, the good thing is, I got to see my boy Kevin before he returns to Virginia.
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Ton-Ton. Turned 15 today.

Kobe in Manila, Philippines
Bryant welcomed into Manila fold at start of Asian tour
By PAUL ALEXANDER, Associated Press Writer
September 5, 2007
MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- More than 7,000 miles from home, fans were chanting his name, and Kobe Bryant was loving it.
No controversy. No tough questions.
In the basketball-loving Philippines, no one was going to ruffle a charismatic icon visiting to promote the sport, encourage kids to pursue their dreams and maybe sell a few pairs of his new line of shoes.
"I love Manila," a beaming Bryant told a crowd that started gathering at 6 a.m. outside a store in Manila, nine hours before he appeared. "The energy here is off the charts."
Bryant, fresh off a gold medal at the FIBA Americas championship, kicked off his five-stop Asian tour Wednesday.
A lot has happened to Bryant since his first trip to Manila a decade ago -- three NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and a rape case that was eventually dismissed but left many wondering about his image.
The Manila public provided an answer. He was even touted as a role model for children, a tag that he didn't try to avoid.
"The important thing to remember when people talk about role models, they assume role models are perfect," Bryant said. "Nobody's perfect."
The key, he said, is not to repeat mistakes and to try to give back to the community.
Bryant was still basking in the success of the U.S. basketball team, which drew favorable comparisons with the first two NBA teams at the Olympics.
"When you have an opportunity to play for your country, it's even more special," he said. "The whole country gets behind you."
Bryant said he has taken off 20 pounds since the end of the NBA season, partly by watching his diet for the first time.
"My primary focus this summer was defense," he said. "I had to guard smaller, quicker players. I wanted to get back some of the agility I had in 2000" without losing strength.
What has he been eating?
"Grass," Bryant joked, before saying he had to give up fast food and some of his decadent favorites -- apple pie with ice cream, chocolate cake and sugar cookies.
"I can feel the results already," he said.
The Nike store, in Manila's Fort Bonifacio area, was festooned with a poster promoting Bryant's new shoe, the Kobe II.
At about $150, the shoes represent about six weeks' pay for the average Filipino. But the mostly middle- to upper-class crowd waved his jerseys and raised the old model shoe when he came out of the store. Arms went up as one, cell phones snapping photos.
Construction workers at two adjacent buildings stopped what they were doing and gathered on the roofs or clung to scaffolding as supervisors tried to get them back on the job.
Bryant, who later gave a basketball clinic, laughed as the crowd chanted his name, then "MVP." He appeared most touched when schoolchildren gave him a framed collection of crayon drawings they had done of him.
"Keep your dreams alive," Bryant said. "Keep going after it."
Them Filipino's love Kobe...at least in the Philippines.
Here's a picture of asia exclusives released. Hoping that my connect can come through with a pair for me.

Not Getting What I Rightfully Deserve...So I'm Making Them Pay
Who am I talking about? The Home Depot that is. They know I should be getting paid at the minimum of $12 an hour. And yes, I'm still bitter that I'm making $0.20 under $10. So I went out searching for a job on none other than craigslist, and I stumbled upon a job that'll look good on my resume. And boy, was I lucky to find such a job. What is it? It's a position as a Personal Fitness Trainer!! Yessir, something in my field, and away from the heat, the annoyance of rude and stupid customers, and doing something that I have passion for...and that's working to help improve a person's health. We take working out the body for granted. You may say that you're skinny now, but once you get older, that metabolism level decreases and the pounds add on. So if you're looking for a personal trainer, here I am. Soon to be trained, soon to be certified.
I'll definitely be making more than what I'm making at The Home Depot. And if they ask me to stay...are you kidding me? I'm definitely saying goodbye to the orange aprons, there's no doubt in my mind about that. I hate leaving the store with the scent of lumber on my clothes. I hate the management, but I love the employees there. Cool as Fuck might I add, but the management don't understand how hard you work. They don't acknowledge and tell you, "hey, you're doing a really good job." Nothing is ever like that. But don't get me wrong, not all of management are dicks. Just the occasional "Red Face" Stu and "The Smart Ass, Always about Rules and Justifying with the Law, More Black than White Motherfucker" Wayne, "Lazy Ass Bitch That Doesn't Do Anything for Employees" Theresa, and "Doesn't Care About Employees, Only Himself" Donovan. Others that I didn't mention, the other 3 are straight chill.
It's time for me to move on from the madness, and move on with better and bigger opportunities. I have to be aggressive and playing it safe is not the way to go. From this current job, I have learned to be firm with what I want, otherwise, I'm not going to get it. So I'm going to make it clear for them that I want to get paid this much money. I fucked up the first time, and I'm not going to fuck up again.
R.I.P. 2006-2007 The Home Depot
I'll definitely be making more than what I'm making at The Home Depot. And if they ask me to stay...are you kidding me? I'm definitely saying goodbye to the orange aprons, there's no doubt in my mind about that. I hate leaving the store with the scent of lumber on my clothes. I hate the management, but I love the employees there. Cool as Fuck might I add, but the management don't understand how hard you work.

From NYC Back to SD
***The people that let me stay in their home, Jaina's Uncle Eddie and Auntie Nelly.***
The trip to NYC the 2nd time was definitely better than the 1st. This time, I got to do things that I didn't have the opportunity to do the 1st time. The 1st time, I was supposed to purchase the matching jacket for my mom's sweats, but by the time we got to the mall, we were limited to 15 minutes because the store was ready to close. By I did get to see Times Square. It was beautiful! Anyways, I didn't get the jacket, and I left NYC empty handed and bitter because the reason why I took this trip was to hit up the malls and do some shopping. Besides all that, we did go shopping the 2nd time. I picked up a pair of Nike Air Max 1's, the green one's out of the skull pack for $59.99 no tax. I was stoked because there was no tax! Can't wait for the next trip up to NYC. And this time, I want to stay out they for a little bit longer, maybe for a couple of weeks or so.
***On the way to Garden State Plaza in New Jersey***
***Afterwards we hit up Gray's Papaya. They're famous for their drinks and hot dogs.***
The reason for this trip to NYC was there was a wedding in Jaina's family. Kuya Dennis was getting married to his girl named Christine. She seemed like a cool person, but then again, I only met her once over in LA for a brief moment. Well, the wedding was a blast!
***The Newlyweds and soon to be relatives, Kuya Dennis & Christine***
The ceremony was held in Queens, NYC. About an hour drive from Belleville, New Jersey. Then, we had to drive back and pick up EJ's mom, Auntie Nelly back at home and drive back to the reception held somewhere off the Hudson River. I don't recall where exactly, but it was a beautiful place. It was an open bar, so I had a couple of drinks, but knew what my limit was. I had 4 Margaritas, 2 Bailey's and Cream, and 1 Long Island Ice Tea. After the first 4 Margaritas, I was already buzzin'.
***The Drinks Got Me Buzzzzzinnnn"!!!!!!***
***Group picture at the table.***
We left NYC the next day, played a little Wii before we left, then boarded the plane off to SD. Our flight was delayed till 1840, and our original flight was at 1730. Anyways, it was nice to get away from SD for a little bit and hit up the east coast for a change. And especially to be away from work and the stupid ass customers...geez!
***The Plane I flew back to San Diego.***
But nothing beats sunny San Diego!!!
Ohhh, and Yul...here's a picture of my Jordan Laser IV's. My present to you.
And guess what...my black Jordan Laser IV's are arriving soon.
Well, Good night and sleep tight.

I Am Officially on Vacation
I requested about a week off in order to hit up my girl's cousin's wedding up in The Big Apple. I'm excited because finally I get to browse around without having to stay home with Jaina's boring cousins. Their way of having fun is singing karaoke and playing dance dance revolution and other video games. Honestly, all I would like to do is visit some historical landmarks and shop till I drop because there's no tax. And oh yeah, hit up some food joints like Grey's Papaya. I'm super ecstatic about hitting it up. I'll starve myself just to fill up on all the hot dogs and drinks I can. I'm kidding about starving myself, but I'll probably stuff my face to my hearts content.
The thing about New York is that I wouldn't want to live there, IMO at least. The weather is horrible. There are days in the winter where it snows, rains, and days where it gets really gloomy. Those are the days where you don't even want to get out and do anything. Then when summertime arrives, it'll get really really humid. The drivers drive crazy as fuck!! Seriously, you got other people honking at you and they drive excessively aggressive. Plus, there's a toll fee that has to be paid.
But there are good traits about The Big Apple. At night, all the lights in Times Square are turned on and everyone walks around the area...I mean everyone. There's a shit load of cabs and hot dog stands and homeless peeps and garbage bags piled up. The typical New York, and oh yeah, there's mass pizza places around also. I haven't seen one Mexican eatery or boba shop around.
Well, I'll definitely be enjoying myself with all the free drinks and free food at the wedding. And I'll definitely enjoy the scenery, and being away from San Diego for a little bit...especially being away from work. I've been sick and tired of my fellow employees in Plumbing. They're all fun and games, so there's no work really accomplished. I just can't waste valuable time sitting or leaning around and not learning anything. I just can't do that, it's not in my nature. I was born as a hard worker, and always will be a hard worker. It's just how my work ethic is.
But no stress for a week, until I head back to work on Sunday...BOO!!! Here's a pic from the last trip up to NYC:
NYC, Shoes, Food, Alcoholic Beverages, Plane rides, Shopping, here I come.

Part III: The Dance
Well, I left off saying that I didn't get any that day, but our relationship as friends when to the next stage: becoming more than friends. Well, the next day, we hit up the tuxedo shop so we could pick out a suit for me. I got a matching gold tie since her dress was gold. We began talking on the phone a lot more so we could better get to know each other before the dance.
Then, the day of Homecoming arrived and this is how the day consisted as far as I recall to my short term memory. First, I picked up my corsage for my date Jaina. Then, I washed my car before I picked her up. It was fixed up at the time so my car consisted of a Buddy Club body kit, 18" gunmetal rims, a 7" in-dash tv screen, AEM cold air intake, Carbon FIber Hood, and don't remember the brand name of the exhaust, but everything was pretty boned out in the matter of only owning my car for about a year. Well, we headed over to this restaurant which was close to her house. Then, I got ready before I picked her up. We ate at Thai Spices. They had some pretty good food, which I ordered as super spicy. Boy, was it HHOOOOOTTT!!!! But good. Next, we arrived at the high school and continued the fun filling night. We danced the night away and the best thing was that I made her boyfriend super jealous. As soon as the dance was over, I ended the night by dropping her off, and giving her a kiss. But, the thing is everything ended there.
I didn't call her for a year. Why? Because I wasn't ready for a relationship. Stupid because I passed up a beautiful girl to continue being single. So I had occasionaly bump ins with her at parties. We had this awkwardness when we were around each other, and one time at a party, my half black/filipino friend named Angie told us to dance with each other. I was pretty buzzed and so was she, so we danced with each other. The party soon ended and we left the party in opposite ways.
Then about 2 years ago during Wintertime, I saw her at the bowling alley. This was when everyone went to the bowling alley to chill. It was the hot spot in Mira Mesa. I swear everyone was there. But I ran into her that night, and at the time, I had long hair. I was pretty fucked up that night off some hennessey v.s.o.p. But I had the courage enough to come up and talk to her. It was the hormones kicking in. Well, not really. A friend up mine named Jason was talking to her, but I decided to cock block and have her for myself. Selfish, but the game has to be played.
Well, the night ended and when I got home, I decided to call her because I couldn't get her out of my head. I seriously had this dream about her after I got off the phone with her. I ended up asking her "if she wanted to chill." So I picked her up that night and took her out for dinner and a movie. We ended up eating at Olive Garden and watched Meet the Faukers. There was no one in the theater at the time, but the movie was funny. She actually didn't know that we were going on an actual date. At the end of the night, I kissed her again.
I told her that I had a present for her. I arrived at her house to drop off the present, and she was meaning to "drop me" after she received the present, but her mom asked me to come inside. I couldn't refuse, so I went in. I gave her my present, she opened it, and she liked it. It was a Hello Kitty Hamper for her dirty clothes. I remembered that she loves Hello Kitty because she had all this shit in her room. Well, I was pretty much there the whole day until her friend Chris invited her over to play pool at "Stixs". Jaina invited me over with her and I decided to come along.
After a great game of pool, we arrived home early in the morning, but my car was still at her house. So I walked her to the door, but before leaving, I asked her if I could use the restroom. I had to go pee pee. I then went out the door and asked her in these exact word," are we going out or what?" She replied, "...I guess." Not really sure exactly. But I confused her because she was still wanting to "drop me" meaning that she didn't want to be with me. But she called her friend Troy and told him the story and asked him what that meant. He told her that we were going out. So I called her the next day and we chilled again. So I got away with murder....hahaha...just kidding, I picked her up using trickery!!! I'm a genius I tell you, a genius! I got her, and now I'm never going to let her go. And that is how the relationship began. 2 years, 7 months and still going.
I end this story on our 2 year, 7 month anniversary. Happy Anniversary babes, I love you!
Fin.

The Day Before Yesterday
My nephew Kayden turned one year old 2 days ago. I was excited to that little kid since I haven't seen him in a while. Well, that day, we played ball on the courts that they had provided for us. But it was weird because they had a carpet court. Besides the fact, everyone had fun and old faces reunited and it was a great day. It's crazy how people I haven't seen in ages came out for that ocassion. Anyways, here's a picture of the kid.
He's bout to break some hearts when he gets older.

Part Deux
Well, about a year into my freshmen year of college, I get a call from none other than Jaina herself. She was in her senior year at the time and she needed a date to homecoming because her stupid ass boyfriend broke up with her to go with some other chick. When I asked her how she picked me, I felt like I won the lottery, literally. It felt like the NBA draft...haha!!
Jaina was talking amongst her friend asking, or shall I say, seeking guidance on who to possibly ask. She didn't want to go with anyone younger or in the same grade because she thought that everybody was not appealing to her; a nicer way of saying that the dudes were ugly. Well, she happened to come across my name, but she had no idea on how to ask me since she didn't have my number.
Anyways, the next day, Jaina was talking to one of her volleyball friends, Anna and she asked Jaina if she had a date to homecoming. Jaina supposedly said that she had an idea on who to ask, so she mentioned my name. Anna happens to know me because she went out with my boy Joel, which I haven't talked to for awhile now (currently in the Navy in Japan). From what I recall, Anna told Jaina that she had my number and she decided to call me for her.
So I talk to Anna and she was wondering if I remembered this girl named Jaina. How could I not remember such a beautiful face--that's what I thought to myself, but I replied with a simple yes. Then Anna told me that Jaina wanted to speak with me. So I spoke to Jaina and the next thing I know, she was asking me to homecoming. As the nice person I am, I said, "Yes, I would love to."
Therefore, she asked me if I wanted to hang out with her and watch the homecoming football game. We smashed the competition of course. Don't remember who they played that night. Well, we ended up talking and found out that there was a party going on that night. So, we hit up that and talked more. It felt kind of awkward because everyone thought that we were going out. And for some reason, I was a bit uncomfortable about that. Why? I guess I wasn't really ready to settle down yet. Well, we ended up talking till the morning, before it was that time to bring her home. As I walked her to her door, she invited me to come over the next day to check out her dress.
So, as the day approached, I arrived at her house after dinner was served at her home, and said my hello's to her parents. They were very nice to me, which made me feel really comfortable being the first time in their home and all. So we head to her room where she stores her dress. It was a beautiful glittery gold dress that left glitter all over my leather seats homecoming night. Well, I ended up staying there a little longer than usual because her ex-boyfriend found out that she had a date. He thought that Jaina wouldn't be able to find one. He reminds me of a two face from Batman without the multi-colored face; just the same color. He was a bit angry that I was there, and a jealous at the same time because he basically wants her to wait for him.
Well, I offered to talk to this fucker, but she didn't want me to, so I decided to do some push-ups. She started to giggle and her ex didn't like that. I just wanted to work out because I was in that work out phase. Well, I told her that I was going to call it a night, so she walked me out the door. For some reason, spur of the moment, I turned around and kissed her on the lips. I don't know what made me do it, but it just felt right.
The next day I invited her over and asked her if she wanted to play some video games. She's not the average girl because what girl likes to play video games? She smashed me in some Gran Turismo, then I got tired. Next thing we know, we were smoochin' and my hand was down her pants. (I was thinking to myself, "I'm almost there.") But nothing happened. She had to leave for her volleyball practice or something. Don't really remember.
It's about 4 in the morning right now and I have work in a hour. I haven't slept so I'm going to hit the shower so I don't go to sleep, and clean myself up. Also have to get ready for my nephew Kayden's birthday. He's a year old today...Happy Birthday Son!!

Love is Powerful
To me love is dedication and sticking to the plan no matter the situation. I am very grateful with everything I'm surrounded by; friends, family, and others i this widely populated planet called earth. Love just puts you in this place secluding yourself from the world. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Well let me tell you the story of how I met my Jaina.
Ok. The first time I ever noticed Jaina was during high school in a class I had with her. It was geometry with Mr. Newell, but we never really talked to each other since we sat totally opposite from each other. The last day of junior year, we exchanged year books to sign and that was the first encounter I had with her.
The following year, i had another math class with her. This time it was pre-algebra. How i hated math, but still took it anyways. Well, we ended up sitting totally opposite from each other again, but noticed her a lot more since she would always walk with her what was then boyfriend to class. I would always think to myself, how could this ugly ass motherfucker get with such a beautiful girl? Makes me wonder. Anyways, we never really talked because her then boyfriend wouldn't allow her to talk with boys. So I graduated without saying a word to her.
During the summertime heading into my freshmen year of college, I ran into Jaina at my Homegirl Althea's party. It was sometime around the 4th of July I'm assuming. I was pretty buzzed off of some OE (40 oz. of beer), and I was just getting down and talking to all the girls there. Well I saw that night and I tapped her on the shoulder. The first thing that came out of my month was, "hey, what's up!?" I asked her who she was with and the next thing I know, she's out the door. I continued to party and have a good time and I didn't see her again that night.
(This concludes part 1 of the story. Part 2 will continue soon. Check back shortly.)
It's time for sleep, got to get up early for work tomorrow.
And Yul, dope ass III's, but your crazy for spending 4+ bills on them. Super clean though. Good night!

Well, we ended up sitting totally opposite from each other again, but noticed her a lot more since she would always walk with her what was then boyfriend to class. I would always think to myself, how could this ugly ass motherfucker get with such a beautiful girl? Makes me wonder. Anyways, we never really talked because her then boyfriend wouldn't allow her to talk with boys. So I graduated without saying a word to her.
During the summertime heading into my freshmen year of college, I ran into Jaina at my Homegirl Althea's party. It was sometime around the 4th of July I'm assuming. I was pretty buzzed off of some OE (40 oz. of beer), and I was just getting down and talking to all the girls there. Well I saw that night and I tapped her on the shoulder. The first thing that came out of my month was, "hey, what's up!?" I asked her who she was with and the next thing I know, she's out the door. I continued to party and have a good time and I didn't see her again that night.
(This concludes part 1 of the story. Part 2 will continue soon. Check back shortly.)
It's time for sleep, got to get up early for work tomorrow.
And Yul, dope ass III's, but your crazy for spending 4+ bills on them. Super clean though. Good night!

Zapatos
Here are the shoes I'm shortly receiving:
Just a lil' preview before I wear these on my feet.
Here are the sneaks I had to let go off in order to have these in my possession:
farewell buddies, hope he treats you well, as I certainly have:
Nike Kobe I Olympic's
and Nike Foamposite Pro's
Enjoi!

Shoes Again!?!
I know i said I wasn't going to pick up anymore shoes till the Jordan Aqua 8's come out, and I'm true to my word. I found someone that's selling them early, so I decided to do whatever it took to get my hands on them. But it came with a cost. I traded away my Nike Foamposites and Nike Zoom Kobe I's to get them plus cash. In the end, he obviously got the better of the deal, but I had to do whatever it took for him to give them up. So when that said, I am officially done for the year. And I'm definitely going to be breakin' some necks a couple weeks aheade of schedule. Jealous? I would be...or shall I say envious? But don't worry friends, I'll be waiting in line for them so I could cop my brother and my girl a pair. Probably wear them like I wore my Flip III's last time. Maybe!?...you never know. I'll definitely be turnong mass heads at the release. Well, I don't have them yet so I shouldn't be so ecstatic so soon. But I know that I'll have a pair of my own.
And 2 nights ago, I dropped my phone for the first time. I wanted to cry becauseit dropped from such a high point. What was the damage? A dent on the top left corner. And some small blemished on the back. But all and all, everything works and I'm thankful that it was just cosmetic damages and nothing internally. Knock on wood. But it was bound to happen right? I just didn't expect it to happen so soon. It'll be about $40 just to replace the rear panel but it'll definitely be worth it.
I really need to stop drinking beer because it's leaving me a beer belly. Plus, I'm looking very over weight and not as fit as I was in the past. It's time for a change and it needs to begin now. Plus I need to do some training of my own to prepare myself for ROTC. So this is where training begins, and hopefully will continue to pursue into the future.
The 15th of next week, Wednesday, is when I leave for New York. I will be going there to attend a wedding, the cousin of my girlfriend. I met him when he resided here in California in pursue of a career. He was currently staying at my girl's house when i met him. He's a very cool and nice guy. The first day, we'll be doing some shopping in Jersey at the Garden State Mall. I'm really excited because this time I'll get to do some shopping. And add to that excitement, there's no tax!! This will be my second trip to the Big Apple and hopefully I'll be able to hit up some places that I would really like to go to like the Empire State Building. Well if you ever hit up New York, hit up Grey's Papaya. They have the best deals on hot dogs. Something like 2 hot dogs and a drink for $2.50. Widely known for their drinks and hot dogs. Can't wait to go there. Kind of reminds me of Pink's hotdogs in L.A.
Well nighty night to all you sleepy heads, and good morning to all you early birds.

It's Coming...Hopefully
So I came across a beauty. A pair of sneaks that is. But the thing is that I promised myself that I wouldn't purchase another pair of sneaks for the rest of the year til the release of the Aqua 8's. But I came up with a solution, and since this person I'm trying to deal with accepts trades, I'm willing to offer a multiple sneaks trade for this pair. I'm throwing in a pair of Nike Foamposites (white/black), Nike Zoom Kobe I (Olympics), and a pair that I love dearly, my OG pair of Team Jordan I's (white/black).
**I'LL HAVE TO POST SOME PICTURES OF LATER OF THE SNEAKS I AM TRADING.**
Ok, here's what I'm trading for: a pair of Jordan Laser IV's (black/red). They are in NDS condition with slight creasing in the front toes, but it's worth the trade and they don't come around that often. Found them on a site called Instyleshoes. They have a forum in there where you can trade or sell your shoes or whatever you want to sell or trade it's all there.
Here's a glance of them:
A beauty aren't they. Well, I think so.
She's arriving...
My girl is arriving tomorrow at around noon, but I won't be able to see her until 6 because I'm scheduled to work that day. And I'm starting where it all began, as a cashier, but just for that day. I filled in for an associate that had to take a Leave of Absence and they chose me. They changed my schedule around so now I picked up a couple of hours, and now I am not working on Friday, which I'm pretty stoked about. Don't know what to do since my girl is leaving for Vegas that day. She's been very very busy. She's used to it by now since all their family does is travel. If I were in the family, I would be dead tired after all traveling and airplane rides back and forth.
Well, when I get off work and head over to her home, the first thing I will do is grab her ass and smuther her with kisses. And hopefully before she leaves for Vegas, I'll be able to "Put my key in the Ignition." R. Kelly is one freaky dude. Besides that, I haven't gotten any in about 3 weeks, and for the past 3 weeks, I have been using a friend that's been very good to me, "my hand." I swear my forearm is super buff...joke lang!
That's all that I have to say for now. There's more in store so stay tuned.
Oh, and I want this jacket...super bad!!
Selling these at the local skate shop...Willy's Workshop at PQ & Mira Mesa.
