On this day, I was expecting to enjoy my first day of my 3-day vacation. Friday morning, I began my day by taking Jaina to school. While she was taking one of her finals, I waited and took a nap. From what she was telling me, she did well...I hope so.
After an educated morning(for her), we stopped by Big Lots! My first perception of that store was that it sold cheap stuff, and when i describe the word 'cheap' I mean not selling any good items. But to my perception, I was completely wrong. It's a really good spot to purchase good Christmas presents for a sale price. And if you have some last minute shopping to do, i doubt this place will get busy. It's under-rated. check out the store for yourself. I'm sure you'll find good items for everyone in the family.
After some shopping at Big Lots!, we stopped through the drive through at Jack in the Box. We ordered The Hearty bowl combos, and might I add that the breakfast bowls are delicious. I also ordered an Egg Nog shake; one of the best Egg Nog shakes I have ever had. After an enormous breakfast, Jaina & I popped a vicodin, and knocked out for hours. It was the greatest nap I've had in weeks and a great way to start off the weekend. Later that night, I dropped off Jaina over at The Keating Downtown. She was promoting 42 Below, which is vodka made in New Zealand. Their water there is supposedly the best tasting water in the world, thus making their vodka so pristine.
While she was there, I dropped by Angel's house. It was his birthday so I wanted to wish him a happy birthday. I left Angel's house to pick up Jaina, and came right back. It was one of those nights where people drink excessively to the point of no return. And it was filled with drama, at least with the girls. It's incredible to see how twisted a single person could get. And I was very disappointed with the actions that she took. After knowing Angel's sister for quite a while, I would just think that she would have a little respect for not just me, but for Jaina. So what if I did WoWoWee, and you think it's wack. To you maybe, but I think it opened up an opportunity for me to do something with my life; I'm always welcome to come back and dance. Maybe it'll open up an acting career, who knows. Anyways, to cap off the night, Angel's neighbor, most likely DRUNK, backed up in to Angel's Van and Mercedes awfully hard. All I have to say about him...WHAT AN IDIOT!! He shouldn't have even driven if he was drunk off his ass.
Jaina and I were awfully heated, and it was kinda difficult for us to sleep. But we finally did.
WHAT A NIGHT! I HOPE THAT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN!

Common Projects on Kanye a bit lately...
Ok, so what if I pay attention to what Mr. West wears once in awhile. The dude has style and is quite talented in many arenas. I may not be a huge fan or anything, but I respect the dude for doing his thing and my head bounces and I tap my toes to his music fairly often.
I’m sure some of you have noticed as well his epic choice of footwear lately.
He’s been rockin’ the infamous Common Projects in press shots, the AMA Awards and on the Conan O’Brien show lately.
Kanye’s got the light grey Achilles Low Leather on in this cover shot for his new album 808’s & Heartbreak
He’s got the CP Desert Boots on at the recent AMA Awards.
Last week, on November 25, 2008 he was sporting the Grey Achilles Low Leather in his interview and performance of his new song, “Heartless” on NBC’s Conan O’Brien Show.
Enjoy and buy some Common Projects because they feel goooooooood. Buttery smooth.

How I Spent Thanksgiving
It was a cold morning, with clouds scattered here and there amongst the beautiful blue sky. It's a day to be thankful of everything and stuff your face with turkey & cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes & gravy, and all the other food that goes well for the festive holiday. It's also a day where most people have the day off. Luckily, I was one of them and thank the Lord because I would not be a happy camper if I were stuck @ The Home Depot selling faucet fixtures and sprinkler parts, and to the people that went if we were open, I wouldn't even offer my services. And I know I have been saying this for quite sometime, but I really really need a new job. I feel like I should be doing something that I enjoy doing, and a job that I have been contemplating about sometime is selling shoes. And I definitely would not mind selling shoes to women. And I definitely can perceive this irresistible persuasiveness if I wanted to.
But that's a different story to talk about. Besides all that, the day consisted of dance rehearsal practice from 9AM-12PM, originally practice was till 5PM, which honestly once I think about it, I would not have minded. I know, I know...dance rehearsal...you're probably thinking "Julius dances?" And honestly I don't, but I have done choreography before. And this was for a good cause. It was for a very popular, internationally televised globally, Filipino game show. Take a guess...if you guessed WoWoWee then you guessed right. If you asked me how I got into it, it's kind of a long story, and since I haven't blogged in quite sometime, I shall explain.
I offered to drive my girlfriend and my home girl to try-outs as dancers for WoWoWee held in National City by the Jolibee there. So I take a seat why they fill out paperwork. As soon as they enter, the person at the desk--I forgot what his name was--asked me to try out because they were in desperate need of male dancers. Originally, I had plans to hit up Plaza Bonita for some NBA socks because like what Sir Charles Barkley said, "I need them for my footsies." But I didn't go shopping and instead, in the spur of the moment, I tried out. And I was wearing my white Evisu skinny jeans and my army green Sperry's. And guess what, I made it and worked that dance floor.
At first, I was very uncomfortable because I didn't really know anyone, but I opened up and met extraordinary people, talented people, down-to-earth people, people that are now my friends. It was such a good experience, It made me what to take dance classes to excel in what little skills I have. My girl thinks it's silly, but I think It's just liberating from stress and pain and everything else. The dancers we're so talented and the girls were very beautiful. It was surely an experience of a lifetime. My girl wouldn't do it again, but I would. Maybe because I didn't do much, but if I learn a couple more moves, I could be involved in the show fully.
After practice was done, we raced to CVS back in Mira Mesa to grab some snacks and energy drinks for the show. After that, I picked up my clothes and we headed back to Jaina's house since she had food there. I took a shower there before heading down to LA with her family to celebrate Thanksgiving. I had to say, that that was one of the most stressful Thanksgiving I have ever had because we had practice early the next morning. It was, what I thought a waste of time and excruciatingly stressful and really uncomfortable traveling back and forth. The food was alright, and I stuffed my face because that's what your supposed to do on Thanksgiving. We didn't return home till 1AM and honestly I was so exhausted the next morning.
Friday was a mandatory rehearsal, and we finally got to perform on stage, but not after 3 hours of doing absolutely nothing --what a waste of time.-- We then had to travel back to the Sheraton to practice because the stage wasn't even set up yet. Then we traveled back to the Cox Arena to again do nothing for about 2 hours, and finally getting to perform on stage for about 2 hours. But all-in-all, it was an experience of a lifetime. Who can say that they performed for a internationally televised game show? And say they got pictures with Luningning & Marielle? Don't forget the other beautiful dancers that were there.
I didn't even get to do some Black Friday shopping. Not like I wanted to. And I'm glad that I didn't work that Friday either. Thank the Lord. There's nothing better than a couple of days off from work, but only to get more work (dancing).
To all my fellow dancers, y'all did your thang and keep doing what you love. Dancing is an incredible skill that people have, and truthfully speaking, I used to make fun of them. To me, it's an intricate flow of body movement that is just incredible to watch. If you have TFC, watch it December 13. Record it, remember it, talk about it.
It's WoWoReffic!

An BOOtacular Weekend
It was a nice weekend, besides being sick most of the time. At first, I was trying to go out for Halloween, but I didn't want to miss my baby's exhibition performance at Monster Bash 2008. I'm glad that I got to go out, and it was worth getting even more sick that I was. The following day at work, all my manager's were noticing it, so I asked to leave about 2 hours early, and I did. And now I'm "Well Rested"
Got the same Orisue shirt in white & red by the way.
Anyways, here's a couple pictures to cap off the weekend:
Jaina's Boss, Sin's pre-birthday party.
My baby and I at Monster Bash 2008.
My boy's Kris (left) & Luke (right), and homegirl Ianne (middle).
Ianne & Luke.
Kris & Ianne.
It was a jiggy weekend.
Very batty! I was a pilot by the way.

Unpredictable
Much of my characteristics are based on my unpredictability, if that's even a word. There's some decisions that I make on the fly, but I really need to think before I really commit myself and finalize my decision.
And honestly life isn't about ME anymore, it's about US. I have to think more on what's best for our life and not my life. That's how life is when you're in a commitment. You have to commit and make decisions based on what's best for the both of us. With that said, I haven't really took that into consideration. Sometimes, I seem to forget to consult and discuss with my girl about the decisions I make.
Therefore, I have vowed to talk and discuss anything with my girl because honestly, I don't want to hide anything from her. If she opened up her life to me, then why can't I. Maybe it's an insecurity of mine, or maybe I choose not to, or maybe I just don't care. Well, my lack of initiating conversation and opening up my heart fully is probably because I don't want my heart broken again. But hey, life isn't easy, but I'll do whatever it takes to penetrate that force field that's repelling me from opening up.
Sometimes, changes in life are good, but not all are considered that way. Hopefully this change is for the best.
It's a hard knock life, seriously!
Just a couple of celebrations coming up:
Dexter & Jared's birthday @ On Broadway, Downtown this Friday.
(Sorry ya'll, I can't make it out due to work.)

I Feel Like Such A Disappointment
Since taking off this semester, I feel like I shouldn't have because it feels like I can't relax. I feel like I'm pressured into getting back to school. I know I should have been done 2 years or a year ago, but there was a certain path I had taken where I was trying to figure out what I really wanted to do. I feel like I put myself in a cellar with no light, and I feel like getting a degree is my only way out. I know my priorities, and they're going to be a bit tweaked. I feel like I'm drifting away and wasting my life away. I need to stop thinking about myself and more about us. If I'm looking towards a future with my future wifey, then I can't just think about myself. I'm a mess and I need to break out of the black hole and into the light! Sometimes I feel like leaving this world, but that would be the easy way out. Life isn't easy, and its never meant to be. We can only work hard to where we feel comfortable at being. Life is a challenge.
Education is the future and shouldn't be taken for granted. I feel like the biggest disappointment to not only my parents, my gf, and her parents, but to everyone who sees potential in me. I appreciate all your words of wisdom and all the support. I could have never been so motivated to graduate and get my life in track.
I promise to graduate with a college degree.
