Hi..

Where have I been lately? So much to talk about but little time to explain. My dogs are barkin' like it was back in the days when I was too young to drive but even so, I had energy to run marathons even if I was a fat kid. Nowadays I'm living again and hangin' out with the homies but of a universal type. Nice to shoot the shit again and having the time of my life.

zug zug..yah, same ol' shit but still fun!!

love ya...

ensign sulu is gay? omigosh...

wow...i never knew.

thend

Batman on drugs...

its hot now...letter of intent...letters. so many to write but why?

its not easy getting used to things but when it happens enough times, it gets quite easy....

family stone...heart wrenching.

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.

2238 - still early

2239 - thend

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.
