In Progress

At Last

Honestly, I don't even know where to start. I think I'll start off with what's happening today so I can get that out of the way. So today was a cleaning day in this household, and later on I plan being a couch potato. Lakers game at 5:30 ( let's just fast forward to Lakers-Celtics, right?), then...drumroll please.

LOST is finally coming to an end. You've seen the commercials on TV, the billboards while driving, and the bus ads all over the place. I'm super excited, and I bet a lot of records are going to be broken during the broadcast. I hear it's being broadcasted worldwide at the same time, that makes it even crazier. This is probably the biggest finale since Friends. Fellow LOST fans, here's to hoping many questions get answered. I know all of them won't be answered, but a lot of them will. I remember starting LOST when I was in the Philippines one summer, got really hooked, then stopped for a while. Then last summer and during this school year, I got back into it and was watching a season a week basically. Even though the show kept getting weirder and more characters were added and what not, I still kept going. At last, it's coming to an end. I'm sure it will satisfy.


A quick sports update. What is up with Padres? Coming into the season where everyone thought they'd be horrible, and we're tied for first with the Dodgers. Still have yet to catch a game, but it will happen soon. Ryan Mathews. The heir to the throne. Everyone was going bonkers at Emerson's when we heard that we moved up to 12th pick. Vincent called Emerson and was like WTF, he's not black?!. We definitely gave up a lot for him, mainly that 2nd rounder, but Mathews will automatically make an impact. Can't wait for those #24 jerseys to come out. My predictions: 1200 yards, 10 TDs, 3 receiving TDs. Jarwyn called dibs on him in the first round, so everyone that even thought of it might as well give up. And a new Chargers stadium in Downtown? It looks epic, and if the Lombardi Trophy makes it to SD this year, consider it done.

T-Cats Season 3 is in effect. Still without a W, but its all good. Support as much as possible, with me and Quang doing the switch off every week until someone else can step up and work shift leader on Mondays. Some new faces in the roster this year, A. Le being the best addition from what I've seen. Raphhh is another new face. We could definitely use some bigger crowds, so come and support! You can also meet little Aja and ask her what she learned in Penguin school.








So the school year is coming to an end, REALLY FAST. The last few months have been a blur and went by so fast, but I'll try to remember as much as possible. So, I decided to go to UCIrvine in the fall. I didn't want to go to State, so it was either community or Irvine. In the end, I chose Irvine. The campus is beautiful, and everyone I've talked to randomly about it, whether a student or alumni, had nothing but good things to say about it. Marc's going too,along with Divina. Don't really know who else is going. Yes, people are sad that we're leaving, but don't worry. Marc and I will be back in the motherland as much as possible, I promise. And I'm only a webcam, phone call, text and whatever other forms of communications there are out there. Even when I get super busy, I'll still be with you guys, count on it. Zot zot muhhfugga.



After AP Tests ended, the year was basically over, except for Math. The AP Gov test was alright, I think I owned the AP Art Portfolio [you can see it here], and the AP Language test I'm not too sure about. Doing the Art Portfolio the week it was due was stressful, but fun. I had to shoot a couple shots, and uploading it on the website was harder than I expected. On the last night we could do it, Mrs. Bartels stayed at school until 9 with us to help us out with whatever we needed. We all ate McDonalds and it was legit. Tiffany did a large part of my concentration write up, so thank you very much for that. All I can do about those is wait until the summer to see the results of those.

In other news, I'm going to prom with the Jahhnaaail Reyes. I know there's a video of how I asked her floating around YouTube somewhere, but you can take the time to do that yourself. I think we're wearing a teal-ish color and we also have legit mustache shirts. I hear the group is like 40 people?! Damn. Hahaha. Lawrence and I are still on the quest for the superpromsteezeee, but I think he already bought something. I think I'm looking for my stuff this week/weekend.


Seniors won Powderpuff this year, but for some reason I wasn't paying attention to the game this year. I was just walking around, talking, and passing out Senior propaganda. The cheerleaders were hilarious again this year, led by Daddy J. As for Senior Takeover Day, Mr. Jeeebs and myself will be taking over Mr. Morse's class. Be prepared. Havoc will be wreaked and heads will be turned. The HFC ( Hella Farters Crew) has officially begun, and the Baskin Robbins Dream Team shirts are in the process.





We really only have a month of school left, and I want do as much as possible. I'm looking forward to hanging out with everyone I can and just chilling at school. Recently, school is just for seeing everybody, then I nap, work, or eat Costco. Hahahaha. I really wish I could write every single thing that happened over the past few months, but that would take me forever. Graduation will be here before I know it. Even though everyone's excited, I'm going to be pretty sad because I know theres some things in high school that I will truly miss. I'll save the sad stuff for later. I'll try to be updating this blog more often now. I'll end this off with some Yeezy.

" I guess this is my dissertation.
Homie, this shit is basic, welcome to Graduation.
Good Morning"

New Post Tomorrow

OK, pushed another day. Since we have nothing to do 4th period, i'll do it then.

RIP Guru

Spring Break 'til Now

Damn, I am pretty bad at updating this sucker. Well, all I remember during Spring Break was great weather, Six Flags, friends, family and good times. Rock paper scissors tournaments while waiting in line is something my friends and I would do. People in line were probably thinking "damn kids", but they knew they wanted to try it themselves. I also ate at Roscoes which was just alright to me. The drive home was fast, I was zoomin' down the freeway, and felt like such a badass that day that I just decided to stop in the middle of the freeway. Calvin was the worst passenger seat stay awake person ever, and he kept snapping his fingers to keep him awake, but he just kept falling back asleep. Jeb would wake up every 30 minutes, asking " Michael, are you good?" and " Let's go get something to eat". No, were not hungry at all, and Jeb was well aware that we just ate chicken and waffles. Then he'd just go back to sleep.
And apparently, there was an earthquake on Easter that I did not feel? I heard it was a pretty strong one too, I kinda wanted to feel it, but oh well. When I got back from Balboa Park, some stuff was on the ground.







Powderpuff is in session, and our team is looking pretty good from what I saw. Jarwyn is the best cheerleader ever, I swear. Our O-Line is beast, our recievers have hands, depth at QB, basically, we're gonna win.
On Friday, Lawrence and I, along with the newly founded SDSK ( which will be re-named), headed to Suxtext for Brian Flynn's ( Super7) debut show in San Diego, Only In Your Fondest Dreams. Was nice chatting and hanging out with Kris, Brian, Heng, Paul Kaiju and Punkin Donuts. Brian brought along some handpaints, wood and pewter totems, an original and plenty of prints. The customs were really nice, and the new wood sculptures were well done. I was able to get Mummy Boy #11, and Kris got Mummy Boy #8. There was a nice turnout and it seemed as if everyone had purchased a print. Overall a great show, congrats Brian.






Yesterday was April's birthday. Well, it was on Wednesday, but we celebrated it yesterday. Woke up with my hands numb and it felt really weird. Kinda slept it off. Thanks very much for the bomb-diggity buffet, I was pretty full afterwards. I ate a lot of different types of chicken, and those doughnut bread type things with ice cream were really good. And Quang would be the person, to make the mess pictured above. Went to UTC with some people from the smorgasbord, and checked out the iPad and got a massage from those Brookstone massage chairs. Went home, fell asleep, went to Baskin cause I was craving ice cream and there were a swarm of Filipino kids. They either just came from the Philippines or that lady has a lot of kids. I dunno. Went to April's, that was fun, and I guess people love me again? And I got reminded that I look like my cousin Jonathan from all of Catherine's friends. Afterwards, went to the a place where me and Calvin deposited $30, and Quang withdrew about $150, and Kevin withdrew something too. Went home, semi got in trouble.
Went to church and cleaned my car really good today. I should clean my room too. One of my neighbors outside is being really annoying with whatever he's cutting his grass with. Padres opening day tomorrow, free shirt woohoo! Hopefully tickets aren't more than 20 bucks. I also have a bet going on where I can't eat fast food this week, oh my guuush thats going to be hard. And I think that's about it. Toodles. Yea, I don't think I'll ever say "Toodles" again, ew.

Yes, I Am Still Here

and I'm very sorry. This place has been deserted for a good 3 months. I guess I was busy, but I think laziness is a bigger factor in it. Usually, I'd know what I'm writing about since it's fresh in my head, but I really don't remember anything 3 months back, so I'm just gonna write about stuff thats happening now or anything I can remember. Here's some pictures from the past 3 months, I haven't really been taking many , except for the few with my brother's D90.

Since summer, Lawrence and I wanted to make Senior box tees. After painful processes of getting them reprinted with limited contact, bumping my head on the top of my car, lots of driving, measuring and other crap like that, the Senior Fun Pack was finally put into effect. Definitely worth it in the end, especially to the people that bought one. I know, I did forget to ask a couple people if they wanted one, that's my bad. I think people saw the time and effort me and Lawrence put into them, and that we go for the best shit, nothing less. I heard countless stories of people asking where to get one and who made them, total control of the hype machine. We wanted to make another batch for other people that wanted one, but it didn't work out. So to those who waited forever for them, I hope you like them. That was definitely one of the longest out-of-school projects I've done, and I'm sure Lawrence can say the same.




Yes, those 3 months definitely flew, and it's almost time to graduate. We won't be taking those pictures next year. Shit, at this time next year we all might be going back to Mira Mesa for Spring Break. Hang out with everyone while you can, chill with some new people, do whatever. It's all good, just make these last couple months worth it.


Alright so the double rainbow craziness. Calvin needed to film something at UTC one day and there was a storm rolling by that day. So we decided to go to La Jolla Shores to see some tsunami-esque waves. Well, we ended up getting lost, turning into all these random places, then ended up at La Jolla Cove. Calvin kept screaming "OH SHIT DUDE LOOK" and I turned around and there was this double rainbow. It didn't seem real, and I was freaking out trying to get a picture. Whether it was fate that brought me to that spot, that was something I think I'll only see once in my life. Man, that was crazy.



For the most part, the debut season is on an official break. Thanks Deanne and Charisse for having me as guests. Honestly, I think that's all I have for now. I haven't been taking many pictures or anything. I could give a long list of things that have been happening ( like Andrew getting a bloody nose at Chuck E Cheese, McDoogle and Ms. Johnston touching my ears, Marc's butt stinking, Thundercats games, Q-Money, Matt and his take on having the balls to do something, Big Boy Slim, and other nonsense) but I think it would only be appropriate if I posted it at the time it happened.

Other than that, school's been going pretty good, been slacking but I'm doing good enough. Add me to the list of not really caring anymore. I got accepted to UCI, SDSU and SFSU ( and Miramar if that counts), rejected from UCLA, UCSD and Berkeley (most likely). Still don't know where I'll be going, I'll think about it between now and May. Going to school has basically been just going to school to see friends. Gov is the only class I legitimately care about. Mr. Colby's class is a joke, don't even get me started on Ms. Johnston, and Mrs. Bartels has to be the chillest teacher ever that doesn't care about what we do. We had a whole classtime where Charisse curled everyones eyelashes on Friday. I'm loving school right now, doesn't even feel like school anymore, cause half the time I'm not in class, or I'm just not doing anything. The final season of LOST is confusing, and I've gotten a few people on the bandwagon with me. God of War 3 came out a couple weeks ago, nothing short of badass. Hanging out with my friends on a constant basis, then working at a job where I have the best co-workers. Life's been treating me good, and I hope it continues that way. This blog was definitely just one to get me back, so excuse it if its boring and just kabam in your face. I will be on here more frequently from now on. Till then, have fun bitches.

Damn Steve Jobs

Nice iPad

Thank You

Free at last.
