longest saturday of 2009 so far lol 6-13-09

Im so proud of her, :-)




heres the set up
the day started off at 6:30 AM:
-woke up
-got ready
-left the house by 7:50 AM and got to erwin's house at 8:15 AM
(Kristine's graduation starts at 11 am, but we have to be in irvine between 9 and 10)

fortunately erwin lives in like northern escondido, as in hella boonies, lol, and he lives like an hour away from irvine so we didnt have to really haul ass. On the drive up there, i thought about the past 4 years and how fast they went, i feel like it was just last week i was visiting kristine at her dorm room. being at the ceremony was prolly reality check number 2, i mean assuming kristine doesn't go to grad school (which i think she will), its a beautiful thing to hear kristine's name being called at a COLLEGE graduation. It took a lot of self discipline and self motivation to take 18 units a quarter (fuuuuuuuuck!! lol), which is why im so proud of her, tbh, shes who i look up to :-). with that said, Congratulations kristine!!

part 2:
-we get back to erwin's house at 5:30PM
-get to body rock venue at 6-ish

*sigh* i hated being in the audience, not because i hate being AT shows (coz i dont), but because im used to being the performer and I LOVED IT!!!. Everything about being a performer is awesome, the rush before you go on stage, seeing and hanging out with other dancers/friends from other teams, and the audience's noise, when you're on a good team, and they cheer their ass off for you, ive got to say its prolly better than.... just playin, but its probably like playing a home game at the Q for the chargers. So after the the show i made a mental list of who really stood out to me in different catagories:
best in show (shit that made me go WHAT THE FUCK!!)
-choreo cookies (took first place as well)
-KM legacy
-Boxcuttahs
-so real cru
-SBGM
-the company (took 2nd)

most improved(strictly MY opinion)
-common ground
-formality

surprises
-poreotics
-who cares (Germany)
-meccamee (las vegas)
-kaba modern (took 3rd)
-project EM (bay area)


CONGRATULATIONS TO CHOREOCOOKIES FOR TAKING FIRST PLACE!

summertime

so now that im on summer vacation and all, you'd think id be out hangin out, enjoying my vaca. but im not, instead if im not out of the house by 8pm or 9pm, im pretty much at home browsing the internet and watching late night nbc shows. As lame as it sounds, i think it only makes sense, i work in the morning so the only days i really can hang out are the weekends, and why dont we do more during the weekend beats me, but this is how my summers have been the last couple years. On a lighter note, it's graduation season and Kristine is graduating and moving back to SD, FOREVER!!!!! lol. It amazes me that shes graduating 4 years after we graduated high school, im so proud :-D. Along with Kristine graduating, her younger bro. jay is graduating high school as well, and will be attending UCI in the fall.

so back to my summer vacation, this is usually the time when my friends and i play the most basketball, which is good, because i don't even do any cardio at the gym. I figured play ball 2 - 3 days a week, then lift weights 3 - 4 days of the week (i'm going to need to stick to this if i want to achieve my goal of loosing 10 lbs and replacing that with muscle) trying to get lean before i turn 22, or as lean as i can get lol. and this is where i end this quick post

Random recap / summer goal(s)

since the beginning of 2009 ive blogged about a number of things from my appearance on the super b-beat show to my possible return to the dance scene. In a matter of 6 months a lot has happend, im talking big things, for one r/d apparel finally has a website, we FINALLY have shirts for sale, ive gotten more involved with anakbayan san diego (i've still got a lot of work to do though), and MY LAKERS ARE IN THE NBA FINALS!!! lol. On a serious note though, some things in this past school semester has opened my eyes, and i am more then ever motivated to really get down to business (fuck you if you doubt me). With the first 6 months done, i hope the next 6 months has more in store for me, so on that note here are some of my summer goal(s):

-get a comma in my back account balance
-new r/d shirts
-get to know illustrator
-loose 10 lbs of fat, gain muscle
-turn 22 and do somn awesome!!! lol
-step up on my organizing/activism
-get DOPE with stick shift
-GET NEW WHIP!!

YES!!!!, after further discussion with the 'rents, we are planning on getting me a new car, AND I GET TO CHOOSE WHAT I WANT!!!! so i chose the 2009 civic si coupe
this baby right here, but not this this color




and thats about it for the past 6 motnhs, and what i want to do for the next 6 months. i will keep you all updated, which means this blog will have more activity instead of the monthly blog lol. till next time, peace
