thoughts must manifest actions

"To me, it's like Mike Tyson: he got to the top of the world and shit, and he stopped trainin'. Fuck that, you must never stop trainin'. Well you can stop if you want, if you're happy, but if you wanna go further. All I did was promise to get 'em to there, from this point, it's up to each of them."

-Robert Fitzgerald Diggs aka RZA

dear diary

I used to have a diary with one of those dinky little locks that I got from Sanrio. That's where it all began. Writing. I always preferred the pen to the keyboard, because it was intended for me alone, not anyone else. Just in case I wrote about a certain person I would change their names into fictional ones in my journal. You know, just in case.

I was listening to Adele on iTunes today. After the album was over I hear Aesop Rock's annoying voice. Quickly turned it off of course. A lot of songs, or tracks, as an old friend would say, remind me of my past. I'll listen to, say Labcabincalifornia by the Pharcyde, and that whole album will just remind me of a certain time in my life. It helps to remember who you were, how you've changed over the years, and who you are now. Music.

I'm leaving to Hawaii in two days. Someone asked if i was excited. I said yes and no. In my heart I know I don't deserve to go, but having generous siblings has made it possible. I hope to learn how to surf, get a tan, and swim a lot. Oh and I forgot, take a few pictures.

What is on your tongue is in your heart.

This is the only perfume I would ever consider buying...and I haaate perfume. I always spray this shit on at the department stores when I see it.

Should I feel guilty for telling my 5 year old niece that faeries live in my pillbox?

yoga vs. the bike

I keep track of five different cities in the world, as well as its respective weather conditions. That's normal right?

I decided to go riding rather than yoga tonight. Don't know why you bother reading this either. Snore!

25 random things about me.

This was taken from facebook. I figure if you really want to know anything about me, you'll find this. And if you don't care, that's okay too.

1. I keep all cards (birthday, Christmas, etc.) given to me.
2. I keep all things my niece Nalani draws or writes.
3. I dislike people who litter, especially in front of me.
4. I wanted to be in the Olympics as a kid (particularly swimming or gymnastics).
5. When I go outside, I look up at the sky.
6. I remember minute details of people from my past. And I mean very minute details.
7. I dislike music snobs that say they only listen to a certain type of music, or anything but rap or country.
8. I really, really miss our boat named "Sulu Gypsy" we had as kids at Marina Del Rey.
9. I believe in magic...don't get it twisted.
10. Some odd things I like the smell of: fresh paint, dog's paws, rainy days, men's deodorant, rubbing alcohol.
11. I used to be very addicted to World of Warcraft (used to eat, sleep, drink WoW).
12. I am fond of anything copper (mailboxes, jewelry, birdbaths, etc.).
13. The first album I ever bought was "The Bends" by Radiohead.

15. When I drive late at night by myself, I turn off the radio or whatever it is I'm listening to.
16. I think I'm cheap...I get it from my sometimes frugal parents (ex: always get my CRV back, rebates, never buy anything full price, utilize eBay to it's fullest, etc.).
17. I left my heart in San Francisco.
18. One of the best feelings I've ever had was seeing Björk at Coachella 2002, in a moving sea of Björk fans.
19. My love for others is often mistaken for animosity.

22. I loathe going to the dentist (one time I threw up in the dental assistant's hands when I was 8 (it was chicken adobo HAHA)...but I loooove the optometrist/ophthalmologist (the glaucoma test gives me chills every time).
23. I have iPhone envy, mainly because of the applications, but I refuse to leave Verizon! I hear iPhone's coming to VW in 2010 though.
24. My favorite season is winter.
25. I have always wondered where the "red door" originated from. I think I'll find out now.

fat tire

I want this in my garden.

funny things my dad has said:

-"Filipinos don't drink milk."
-"It's a white man's invention. Don't believe in it." (regarding sunscreen)
-"They're all crooks." (regarding Filipino politicians)
-"Delete my facebook. I don't want to be on there. It's for kids."
-"Bullshit!" (while watching ABS-CBN News aka Filipino channel)
-"Filipinos think that if they let go of the gas the car will stop."
-"I don't want to be insured, otherwise someone will kill me."
