2009! I’m alive, I made it.

Yesssir Yesssmam, I am alive and kicking.  I pretty much been through the brush of the usual ups and downs of life, I’ve been down and uncapacitated, but today I am up, well, and happy.  I guess the hype of a blog was just there in the beginning for me, then, I just finally got over it.  Although, I’m really not planning on getting rid of this blog.  It would be nice to go back few months or years to see what I was up to back then or what I was thinking at that moment in time.  I know there are more important things to do in life than just to post blogs, specially when I am at work.  Today, is just one of those days that I have to write and spill some thoughts here.

This is by far the best Summer ever.  I just recently moved in to a new place and I am starting to like it.  Living alone could be such a downer sometimes,  knowing the fact that life is hard as it is, I’ll just be thankful for what God has given me.  The most important thing right now is that I am healthy and I am able to do what I want in life, maybe not completely everything but enough to be happy.  School started yesterday and to be completely honest I’m not ready for it. It would be nice to have another week, but it’s on and I have to be on top of things again. Summer was a  lot of fun, a lot of parties and gatherings.  The highlight of my summer was meeting this special someone I have in my life right now.  Having this person makes a huge difference in every aspect of my life.  I’ve waited so long for this, I’ve been patient, and I’ve been picky. I know that this is the right person for me and I am to her. I coulnd’t ask for anything more in life right now, but just to remain happy and content.  Life is beautiful!

A good friend of mine is embarking on a journey to Japan. I’m so excited for her to see this country and experience face to face this very enrich culture once again. Many of you might not know, I love everything about this country, except the hoodlums and the crazies of course. I know for me it’s just a matter of time until I step foot on that land.

This is the first video I favorited on youtube two years ago. I dedicate this video to her.

I’ve been out a lot before my trip to Ensenada, Mexico, I mean a lot! I haven’t had the energy to update this blog until today. We saw Justice when we got back to LA with a full limo service and an all-access pass. I must say it was a very sweet ending to our small vacation back from Mexico. I haven’t gone out or had any intoxicating beverages since then, so proud of myself. I also been sleeping 7-12hrs. each night. I feel like the crazy social life sucked the living hell out of my body.

I think I really needed that trip to separate and awaken myself from my long hybernation. I know everybody goes through this cycle in life. Like a ferris wheel ride when you realize you’re on the bottom, you just can’t wait to be on top again. I’m on this cycle where I am always on top and never down. My life is amazingly fun and full of enjoyment(really). I know this has an ending just like a ferris wheel ride. And when this ride ends I should have a place to go to and not be stuck in the ferris wheel that no longer works. I just feel like I’m not working hard enough to achieve what I really want in life. And on second thought, I’m contradictingly thinking that I work so hard but I’m moving really slow or not moving at all. What I really want in life is simply to be happy and finish what I’ve started. I’m not getting any younger, I’m wiser, but not wise enough. I often ask myself when I’m going to be ready to settle down and slow down this crazy lifestyle I have. As of this moment, there’s this thought that sips right through me, the thought of taking it slow and or maybe settling down. I just hope this stays and I don’t lose thought.

I remember when I was 14yrs. old, I told myself that I’m going to finish school by the time I turn 22, get married by 28 and maybe have kids by 30. It’s funny how I try to plan out my future when I barely know anything in life. Time is fast and it’s not slowing down at all. I’m somewhat financially stable, but I want more and need more. I have this arcane glimpse of regret of some sort, I know what it is, but I just can’t seem to focus on. All I know is that I’ve begun and started to do something about it. I’m on it like a rat on a cheese.

Thought of the day:
There are so many people in the world. I am always seeing new people, new faces, and never seeing many old faces/people. How can there be so many people? I’m thinking maybe I just have a bad memory or maybe it’s because they change clothes every day or maybe they change faces?

This song really has me right now.

Earth meet (your name). (your name) meet Earth. (your name) take care of Earth.

Here are random pictures I took during the past two weeks. These were taken by a camera phone, but with the help of Gimp magic can be created. I’m in spring break and enjoying every minute of it. It’s nice to just come home and stay for the rest of the evening without worrying about school, atleast for this week. The only downside is that there’s no new episode of LOST this week, what a bummer.

If you haven’t heard yet.  Radiohead and Feist were among the guests on BBC’s Later with Jools Holland’s 200th Birthday Show on Friday night [Feb. 1st]. The former Squeeze keyboardist has been hosting the BBC late night music show since 1992. Radiohead performed 4 songs on the show; “House of Cards,” “15 Steps,” “Weird Fishes/Apreggi,” and “Bodysnatchers.”

This is by far the best video I’ve seen on the internet. It loads slow so be patient.

I’ve been so occupied for the past days. Obviously, not at my very best on updating this blog. It was a very fun, tiring, and busy week since my birthday. The plan of not celebrating my birthday never happened.  The celebration was quite bigger than I expected. It felt like the celebration was a private party, the crowd mainly consists of my friends and their guests. It made me realized how lucky I am to have such many good, real, true friends. I guess a birthday is not just another birthday after all.

Today, was a blockbuster day for me. I rented a couple of dvds to catch up with the movies I’ve missed. This one movie inspired me to write this post.  I sat, took a deep breath with my eyes closed, soaking up the sounds that inspired this young man.  Not since from what I recall “Great Expectations” have I been so moved by a film. This movie will touch you deep.

My mind is set on over-drive.  Another birthday is just around the corner and I can’t help but to stress about how time flies by so fast.  I’ve been asked several times what I’m doing for my birthday, a few friends have kindly suggested what they want to do for my birthday, few families asked what I want for my birthday, my response is nothing.  I’ve been dull for few days and kept thinking what I really want to do in my life.  Of course I have goals and aspirations in life, I’m not slacking or just partying all the time, and I don’t think I’m having an early midlife crisis either.  I don’t really know what it is and I can’t really explain it.  All I know is that I want to move somewhere, meet new people, live in a different environment, and do other things.  How can I do all these things if I’m here stuck with bills and responsibilities?  I think the book “On the road” by Jack Kerouac are for people who have no responsibilities in life, it’s inspiring and all, but it don’t think it will take you anywhere.  Too much rant, maybe I’ll just move to India and live like a monk and not care about the material things in life.

Enjoy this great remix(Happy Birthday) of Lights and Music by Cut Copy. It’s done by one of my favorite Dj-boys noize.

Here’s the original song:

Again, sorry for the lag.  I didn’t know this page was down until a friend notified me and plus the DNS propagation took longer than I expected.  Life, life’s good, it could be better, but then it could be worse so I’m not complaining.  My exam went well, there was 110 possible points which 10 points were extra credit, I got 101 so I’m happy.  The long crucial studying paid off, studying in a relaxed timely manner is definitely the way to do, procastinating and cramming should not be done so very often, I’m talking to myself. 

In other news, for some reason despite of all the studying I dealt with, I still manage to squeeze some time to hang out with friends.  The weekend was very splendid. Sunday, I made it at my friend’s birthday party and I had no choice but to call in sick Monday, I was uncomprehendable, seriously! Tuesday, it was a blast, Cinespace was a kicker-Steve Aoki and sister Devon, Mstrkrft, Dj AM showed up and kill the entire sets.  It felt like quite a few old friends and acquiantances were all at the same place that night. I finally caught up with my sleep last night, I was in bed by 11pm.  I’m all energized like the battery and ready to keep going and going again.  I feel rejuvenated after completing my tasks and getting a very positive results.   

Last week’s episode was so epic. The story line definitely went off a tangent. I’m happy to find out that Desmond finally got contact with Penny. This show just keeps getting better and better. According to what I’ve read, Juliet becomes the center of attention in tonight’s episode. We shall see if things spice back up between her and Jack and if we get any more information related to what she knows about the Island. The episode description “The Other Woman” would suggest that she is coerced into doing something unwillingly. Also, tonight’s episode should provide some extremely compelling back story about the Island and Juliet’s time spent there prior to the crash of Flight 815.
