....is where God tests heaven's weather.

You can have the sun hitting you right and you won't be sweating coz of the wind. I can sleep the whole day and have 'banig' bruises all over me and I won't care coz the sun is with me and the ocean's view caresses my retinas everytime it wakes.

The chill bum vibe is awesome. I remember just sitting by the starbucks in my suit and puruntong --people watching while enjoying my frap and a random grand daddy suddenly popping to bum for a light.

Cuties are cuter, grass is greener, the air is cleaner and the palm trees are more hollywood-esque than ever. I sit there and stare at the people in awe on how their life is lived like this everyday. Hakuna matata indeed.

Another piece of random escape I discovered was skateboarding the boardwalk of Venice beach ....... probably one of the best places for a board rookie. Aces give you the peace sign, skaters give you the 'hang loose' hawaii. My fish is gorgeous ---made out of Hawaiian Koa wood, it can carve the boardwalk like it was the turn of the globe. I remember feeling the rare sense of contentment as I happily swoosh down the end of the smooth surface staring at the palm trees being tickled by the sunset listening to reggae as it bends to the chill beat. Life is good. People should really stop complaining.

At my last day, I knew I had to bring something with me to remember good times. Straight from Malibu beach to the Malibu Country Mart, we drive home slightly disappointed with our star stalking skills. We were in the midst of their vicinity and they still managed to thwarp us! Ayyyy caramba, mga bastardos! I shall channel your inappropriate governor with the words.... "I'll be back!".

But what I've been wanting to do for years and everytime we pass by East Village in New York which owns a thousand parlors, I managed to do in Venice Beach. Getting a grip (literally), I head down the nearest tattoo parlor and acquire a purchase that will stay with me permanently.


"A dolphin tattoo is a great little reminder to yourself to have fun out of life and spend some time just frolicking around and enjoying life."

It also serves as a guardian to dreamers and travellers. Ain't that cool?.My dolphin kickth assth. I will look at it and forever remember my temporary escape. Hakuna matata, cowabunga moments of freedom bliss!

Male, 24 - In A Relationship


i haven't checked friendster in a month ----but who could resist testimonial from ace my jackness? who is not the 'male' person referred to above as ace also prefers males. (thus the jack nickname). i really didn't think i'd care...... but i'm surprisingly saddened that he's off the market.

You Should Rule Mars
Mars is a planet that shines brightly and loops wildly around the solar system.
You are perfect to rule Mars, because you are both energetic and independent.Like Mars, you seems attractive and bright to others - but you're difficult to pin down.
You are a great thinker, but you only think in the present and ignore the future.Full of enthusiasm and inspiration, you are into your own thing... and rather insensitive to others.
What Planet Should You Rule?



Somehow, I always figured this isn't enough. (But oddly enough, who does? Who in this earth --monks and antisocial pacifists excluded are really content with their life?") I mean, I always imagined I'd be living somewhere way off --not as way off as Mars but some parallel universe in which the weather affects my mood --- Rain when I cry, thunderstorms for my rage, rainbows for my joy and drizzles for my sorrow.

All my life I sort of thought of myself as an oddball as my zodiac indicated accurately. So maybe living in Mars could actually have its advantages -- I mean, they have two moons right? That's kind of cool considering how the moonlight could affect the red soil. That's a photo op right there. Ms. Sibayan would be so proud!

"This is fabulous my dear, please don't ruin the negative"

Anyway... here's what they say about my people (Aquarian oddballs)

Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities. - So far, this has been truer than true. All Jan-Feb people have a lil crazy in them. And lo and behold, we GET each other.....randomness and all.

They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity. - I maybe a combination of both. I can SO be shy. I've met Aquarians that both fall on those two genres. They are the awesome-est!

They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. - Whoa. The nearly always got me there. But hey, not all of us can have it right? But hey, we nearly always are!

While Aquarians are generally sympathetic and compassionate, they like it when things go their own quirky way. - This is scarily true in so many levels.

The Aquarian philosophical and spiritual bent may be dangerous in that it can drive the subjects into an ivory-tower existence where they meditate on abstractions that bear little relevance to life. -Some of us DO get pretty emotional about things that don't concern our lives. I mean, it really was a devastating shock when the Aniston-Pitt fairytale bit the dust.

In spite of the often intensely magnetic, forthcoming and open personality of the more extrovert kind of Aquarian, and of their desire to help humanity, neither type makes friends easily. -sorry, I digress --say what now?

Normally they have good taste in drama, music and art, and are also gifted in the arts, especially drama. - Ayyyyyyy winner ang lola mo. DRAMA!

They have a feeling of unity with nature and a desire for knowledge and truth that makes them admirable scientists, especially astronomers and natural historians. - I maybe in the wrong business. I think I would have made a good superhero. I just don't have special powers. But dude, I suck in science. Ask all my teachers.

Among the faults to which they are liable are fanatical eccentricity, wayward egotism, excessive detachment and an inclination to retreat from life and society. - Yeah we do have our weird, monk, i'm too good for the world, drown me in your tears and I still won't care, you should've thought of that before you became peasants moments.

They may excel in photography, radiography, electronics - anything connected with the electrical and radio industries - aviation and everything technical. - Photography! Bwahahhaha. We are Sibayan babies! ACE THIS IS SOOOOOOOO YOUUUU!!!!!! Of COURSE we're good in aviation. Mars nga diba. Reach for the stars and the mars.

On the arts and humanities side their progressive tendencies can be expressed in writing, especially poetry, and broadcasting, or as welfare workers and teachers. -Si Den teacher. oyyyy! Poetry huh? Haiku time! (Haiku! like a sneeze!Hahaha Baduy I know, I'm laughing deep inside)

Idiocy can be
a laughable artform stolen
from pairs o' blinking eyes

Boredom sounds like
that gong in your brain that floats
reverberating

Hahaha. I can't. I can't. Too funny. This isn't even worthy of Shakespeare's spit. Watch as this blog is scorned to pieces. But hey! that's a pretty good attempt at 5-7-5. Can you believe reverberating is a 5 count? Whoa. say that again... reverberating. re-ver-be-ra-ting.

This can also reveal itself in a sustained hatred for enemies that is capable of enlarging itself into a misanthropy toward the whole of mankind. - We can cause misanthropy. Hehe Cool. (I feel I'm channelling Beavis and Butthead here. I'm so dead in the head)

They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor. - I'm ending it here. Pure patola moment yo.

i just love the nuances of everyday life. yesterday, andito ako hanggang 7 pm trying to reconcile the friggin advertising budget. it just baffles me why sometimes it doesn't match. you have to double check everything in life tlga noh? but then you still makes mistakes. i'm slowly mastering the "oh well" coping attitude.

----------@@@-------------

i just saw this dude's blog, who writes about his everydays. he's the typical uber-rich cono boy with a hate for the masa and the poor (obliterate them all daw!). people respond like there's no tomorrow. they're so mad and affected. his language has an endearing fancy to it...

"i'm like fucking annoyed, i wasted my afternoon erasing some bobo kadiri orc comments in my site. what do you all care ba? get a life! my head is uber gulo like giera na because of your crapola comments you bobo orcs!"

---or something to that effect. Hilarious. It's obviously fake ---and he's a genius for coming up with it... but if he's real...it's just so unbelievably unfortunate --either way it's just too funny to pass up. gives you a glimpse of an everyday yuppie life.

-------------@@@------------------

THE HEAT.

Okay, so it's over a 100 degrees F ha not celsius outside.... I forgot the formula conversion...but it's probably 36 degrees C. People are complaining of the heat...not only that...people are actually DYING. Yes. Because of the heat. Heat strokes that causes heart problems so on and so forth. So growing up in the tropics has its advantages pala. Sanay na kasi sa init. I of course, still can't believe people are dying.

it's really not that bad!

---------------@@@-----------------

CALIFORNIA

i'm going! i printed my ticket today and i'm GOING. pucha. love LA! love it. And Kuya Brian's new place is by the beach. I will burn myself like this is the last chance for summer....and hopefully have an interview or two. we'll see right?

---------------@@@-------------------

DANCE CLASS

still taking it. robin dunn is fabulous! amaste! i have to make time for jazz funk though. the class looks fab. i just missed brian friedman and wade robson last august. hopefully they'll come back!

--------------@@@--------------------

PHARRELL WILLIAMS @ Bryant Park

Will be watching his performance this sunday! So excited. Kanye West will be there as well. Louis Vuitton Don (ha! then why is Pharrell the new face of LV and not you?) To all Kanye lovers, sorry...his head's gone a bit big. He is talented though.

-----------@@@---------------------

CRUISE PARTY

Our company is holding one. I don't know if I should go. But it looks ridiculously appealing. Oh wait... I can't go! I'll be in California~! I guess that takes care of it.

-------------@@@----------------

Job follow ups... augh. Hate them. I have to call tomorrow. It's 1:30 pm. Tick tock.

Today is reallly really slow...
