Freetime is paid time

Mood:	happy.

it was a beautiful week, Friday is here, its my bday month and i'm loving every minute of my life right now. I've been cooking a lot, been going out a lot, hanging out with my roommate who is turning out to be a really good friend and work has been just utterly amazing! its still a struggle getting back into it even though I was in design but I've missed out on so many rules and regulations. today i was struggling with occupancy load and what I thought I was doing was the right way, was the old way. our small firm adopted the 2006 ibc where they have combined spaces as a whole rather than trying to figure out each room...no, i don't want to go into details.

i've been hitting the gym again and that is also a plus, i miss the work out and having that extra wind in me whenever i need it. i have been riding much more but lately it has been windy and starting to get warmer but i'm more afraid of the wind on the freeway than the heat. the heat i can handle, the wind...its a balancing act of mind, balls and pure adrenaline. yah, its that bad. the next thing worst to that are the slick roads, can't do much crazy stuff here like exiting and entering a freeway, that was where the urban fun was for me but nowadays, its just easy riding and cruisin'. i've avoided the strip for the most part of the month and been playing WoW trying to save money....darn skippy.

its windy this time around, last night an ominous bank of clouds, floated towards Vegas but only skimming the northern part of this hidden diamond they call a city.

1500 - just about done with task, listening to jams keeping my mind flowing and fingers a-typin'. its been a while since my mind has been challenged with artistic significance and its quite refreshing. like a jumper, i have another notch under my belt, hooaaa!
I'm in Vegas...its like...like, I have never moved anywhere far from home. Another discovery about myself is 'for me to know' - sorry.

traveling somwhere, it could be anywhere. a coldness in the air but i don't care. I drift deeper, life goes on...

1627 - prayer time. there isn't much of a private area, per se (if u don't mind the roaches and i mind them) but praying in the open here isn't so bad. just hard to concentrate with all the burping, swearing and jibber jabber, thats a lot noise for 5 people here.

1800 - time to go...peace!

Its official, I'm moving to Vegas! Its a sudden move so I'm hoping to make my goodbyes this week cuz I'll be heading out on Sunday. My new job at Jawa Studios, will commence on Monday, 5th so I have a week to get myself situated and some time off to explore. I'm currently here visiting Ray and his family.

I met up also with 2 new friends/ coworkers, where they took me around the other Las Vegas as we drove up to Boulder city then to Lake Mead. On our way back, I did find one hot spot that I KNOW will be my joint, MotoCafe. It sported the MotoGP checkered flag and I saw a whole bunch of other riders there. I'm looking forward to hot/warm weather and the oh so sunny part of it!! Man, its sin having only 4k miles on the K12 and having it for a year...whats up with that? Its where you are, thats whats up with that. I thought I missed the rain and 3 seasons but after a several months and seeing that I had only 4k on the bike, I started thinking again.

Anyway, I saw Jay Z at the 40/40 club! Ray, Daryl (his cousin) and myself went to the Palazzo last night and headed to the 40/40 and in one of the private rooms of his joint, there sat Jay Z. It was awesome! Thats my second sighting of a famous person in 3 weeks! woot. The first time was here as well and I saw Teller of Pen and Teller. Looks like another adventure for me...

can't wait to see whats in stored in the SW....

the month long trip is ending, i will be finding my way back home soon and it will be a tough flight. i have nothing to do but sit there and wait but the priceless memories, feelings, connections of mind and body from being home will always be tough to depart from. there is a lot of life missing where i was but where i am now will always be what counts. there are times when my life seems clear but only for a fraction of a moment and that moment is gone and forgotten if i don't recall it minutes later.

i will miss both homes but there is one that place that i will truly call home. i look forward to my next trip, wherever that may be but even if i come back home it will always be where my heart resides.

Madi is at school now, its a private tutor while shes here in the PI. Nice place, my mom asked me to go and take her and apparently it was a setup as well to meet the teacher. nice try mom... *sniff* is that marijuana i smell or just my kuya randy burning the leaves again?? well, whatever it is, a familiar headache is brewing and its conspicously familiar.

The first 2 weeks here has been fun because the local university had their anniversary for all the alumnis and yes, even i attended because apparently I graduated in 66. leave it to them to not bothering on checking my background, that and a slip of a 200P bill will let you slide anywhere, di ba? hah

with another couple of weeks left, I have a few more things to do but its managing the time for it to see where i can fit things in. til then, ciao.

Time:	6:26 am.

as usual, we arrived at manila at around 10pm and i always dread the customs because its such a cluster fuck going through BUT my mom always knows how to get past the long lines. it didn't take her more than 15 minutes to get us through and of course, flashing some green always seem to help.

I slept most of the way here even as they paged my name twice from jpn to mnl because they had room to place me by my parents but i had my head covered with the blanket and headphones on. anyway, we ran across one of joann's coworkers as well at our regular stops to pangasinan and it really is a small world. suffice to say, 4 weeks will be a long time but i think february was a fortunate time to come.

Say hello to my digested friend!

Whats going on this month? Not to many happenings in the day of the life of but quite a few happenings in the day of the life to be. Its not often that opportunities come around for everyone but when you can plan for them, then thats something to take hold of and work on it.

I'm not sure where what I'm running from now? I see all these familiar faces from the past and present but I wonder what makes me run away? I have this fear that once I'm caught, its going to hold me down so I jump and run from buildings to buildings, from tree to tree and sometimes, finding myself slipping from mistakes but never falling. But there is a sympathetic voice within me that knows the struggle I'm going through, who is pursuing me as well, but always giving me that chance to slip away and telling me to keep going and to trust myself. DAMMIT! Why are you running though? I know your behind me, I confront you all the time and I know you're around me pursuing but once when I looked back, they're not there. I don't realize this because once I think i'm ahead, I look forward and you're all over me once again.

wait for it....

wait for it......

ahhh, satisfied with 6 oyster resting in me belly. wish you were here Rush to enjoy Warshington oysters!

This week has been good. I've been busy with work, keeping in touch with a very good friend from AZ, finished a presentation for Friday, been working out at the gym as well as keeping fairly decent on the diet and most of all, putting a smile on a face - whoever that may be. One of my greatest accomplishments for this past year is keeping up with my new found religion. I've been going strong at it but its difficult but I know what I need to do to keep up. What I've also enjoyed is rekindling some friendships that has always been there but my efforts weren't, I tend to be stuck in a shell (for whatever reason) but for me, it will take some time to know whats out there and not be afraid. Time is once again slowing down for me, I'm not sure when this happened but I'm starting to plan out the days a little more carefully keeping in consideration of challenges that seem to come at me randomly.

Basically, I'm breathing a little more easier this time around and thats good. very good...

So very tired tonite, i had a slight case of food poisoning from airport terminal food and today in spin class i threw up in my mouth!! WTF was that all about? pretty nasty taste but i toughed it out and drove on...

life is funny like that.

something happens to you or you go through something not knowing or maybe a hint of something going to happen - a premonition? maybe but you brush it off. but later, when your doing something stressful, strenous and that takes all of your energy and concentration it comes back to you. that hint of something becomes an awareness and you know whats going to happen, a moment of pedictable calamity falling into place throwing you off balance yet...yet, you overcome and strive. why do you that? how do you do that? thats not the right kind of question you should be asking, but moreso what is your purpose? my purpose is life. my purpose is courage. my purpose is the belief of someone who is doing what is right for themselves, their family, their life...

what does a slight case of food poisoning, spin class and throwing up in your mouth have to do with my purpose? a lot of everything that deals with life, the moment in time, actions i take to strive, the results of my actions.

i'm tired now.

I have arrived to a nippy 22 degree Great Falls and its an alien world out here. Seriously, i thought i was looking out into an alien landscape because of the flatness, the mountains suddenly stopping a several miles from town and the whiteness of the snow on the land. And with the town in the middle of it all, it feels like a ghost town or an Area 51...haha.

Ok, so i guess its that time of year when everyone wants to connect and wish you happy turkey day, seasonal greets, "hello, how are you, i hope your holidays are blessed..." ... blah blah blah. what they (the sender) fails to mention is that these are people who you never talk to, text or have any kind of contact from the past 8 months to a year. what the hell? don't waste my text if you plan to spam AND I DON'T EAT SPAM!

lol

I'm pretty sure this has been said before but i made an effort to reply back to those who don't know but now you know by saying, "oh right...yah, take care and who is this cuz i deleted your number".

I'm not being scrooge, i'm being reaaayyl... rah rah

I disembark from the ferry, my daily routine during the week, and today I decided to wark underneath the viaduct. About 3/4 of the way heading towards my building I notice something drop in front of me, given that I'm wearing my commi hat pulled down low, my head down warchin' the ground for puddles or dead rats, I just so happen to notice something drip. I caught the glimpse of something white, milky and oozy...*shiver* Areh! it was bird poop and if I was a second quicker it would of hit the rim of my cap yet protecting me nonetheless. I suddenly stopped about a foot and half away, looked up and there perched on an oversized cable was a rat with wings. Was it an exciting morning? Was this really worth posting...prolly not but its worth blogging.
