BBQ's & Poker Faces

There is nothing like enjoying a warm summer afternoon with my closest friends and their families. Gotta love summer

Poker nights weekly are soon to appear. I know I'm ready to get my $5 back. Bring it on. Ez you are going down son.

Filipino food today with ACS. Yummy.

PBW Tribute Mix

Stacks & Stacks

Of paperwork.

College is already upon me with so many deadlines to meet. I need to be organized, a new student is being born.

I hope to go see some volleyball on Monday. Fingers are crossed. I need a car...damn.


To take my mind off of things I lend my ears to Mr. Fiasco.
He shines down on me and maybe you too.

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough

And I'll never get enough of his music.


R.I.P. The King of Pop

Thrifting

Cover for Kanye's hit "Heartless."
Love it.

Soul Revival

With a doo-wop throw back sound, Mayor Hawthorne has my ear begging for more.

I can't wait for his debut album.

Playing Tricks On Me

Tease much?

What is teasing?

A sense of power, a hold over someone or something. Being able to toy with them or it at will.

Who has it?

Love this song.
Super old school, and I JUST found it a month ago.

Great night.
Chilling with K-G, ACS, P.F., & Ez.
I love Panda Express's orange chicken. Yum.

Which Street?

3rd Street Promenade, Santa Monica.

I saw "Up" last night with ACS and Simon. Overall a chill night, which equals a great night.

Pray for my mom's comadre, she had surgery today.
Thanks.

Okayyyyy

Last night at The Roxy on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, I saw The Foreign Exchange perform for their first time in Los Angeles. I must say they were amazing, definitely the best concert I've been to so far. The live band was on point, and the vocals were beyond anything I was prepared for. Phonte, Darien Brockington, and Yahzarah can sing and make anything sound so soulful. They even took "Turn My Swag On" from a bad, mainstream intro into a soulful vibed out melody, I wished I could've recorded it.


Good times with my boys Simon, Hugh, and Paolo. Also saw Randy there, Cubs were definitely represented.

Pool Side

Last night was pretty chill.
I went to see one of my best friends for 12 years graduate from Arcadia High School. All I can say is public school's graduations are crazy!!! There were so many people there it was ridiculous. Me and Ez brought beach volleyballs, but for some reason we couldn't bring them in. WACK!

Oh well, after we searched way too long for my car because I forgot where I parked. Laugh now but someday it will happen to you. Micheline's casa, chilled with her fam, ate pizza (yum), and met her bud Phil.

After me and Ez hit up Pablo's graduation party and I must say it was pretty good.
I danced a little bit, wishing miss Salonga was there to dance with me. Oh well next time. Hit up the cliff side spot after and chilled with my boy Ez.
Good night.

Controversial

Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing", was controversial to say the least. It was released after a racially motivated police shooting was still fresh in the nation's mouth. Spike Lee does an amazing job depicting the racial intensity building along with the heat during the hot summer day.

I don't have time right to describe it in more detail.
Famous scene.

In Full Effect

Summer has officially begun, lazy mornings, chill afternoon's, and friends at night.

Met my significant others friend, Manika, today and was surprised at how chill she was. They kicked it with me till lunch, before they had to leave via Metro 79.

Micheline's graduation manana.

I love this re-make.

Graduation.

Graduated from Loyola HS on June 6, 2009, and as of then am an official Cub alumni.

I love all my fellow Cub's and will miss them dearly.
Let's have the best summer of our lives.

CLASS OF 2009!!!!

Endings

Endings only mark new beginnings.

Yesterday was my last day of high school. It was jubilant, yet bittersweet because LHS has been good to me and I will miss it. Papers, deadlines, posters, all of those I will NOT miss. High school issues are gone and left. College issues are sure to come. I look forward.

Now all I can do is enjoy the company of the people I love during this soon to be best summer of my life.

Go Lakers!

Just A Game

The Kickdrums first album "Just A Game" just dropped today. Of course I scooped it up as soon as I found a link. I've taken a listen and all I got to say is I love it! It's really different, but the new sound is much appreciated in a world over saturated in fake and plastic sounding music. Another plus is the album cover. I thought it was really cool and new.

Rating: A+
Get it.
Here.

Comedian's: Can't Get Enough

Instead of doing things....I've been watching ALLLL of these.
Enjoy.
