whats better than...

beyonce and a vintage ass beach cruiser?

i have currently been on that fixed gear tip. been doing pretty good at it too, learned a few tricks thanks to jason and judson. been riding around a lot and been doing it without brakes (fixed gears are bikes with a cog and lock ring thus no free wheel action so this means i would have to back pedal to stop) its been real exciting, bunch of my friends have fixies so its dope to cruise and chill. since my fixie and my motorcycle (fuji track kind of and a yamaha r6) are my only forms of transportation im getting pretty good at riding both. who needs a car anyways right?

so much so fast...

take care of school (uncheck)

please loans accept my bad credit and let me go to school again

NY...state of mind.

so i just came back from NYC (soho manhattan area to be exact) and it was an amazing experience. i went with originally 6 people (jason, mark, franklin, jimmy, pat and paul) then rich decided to head there alone and drive by his lonesome! i cant believe he made it there without falling asleep at the wheel or getting kidnapped.

before arriving to NYC i stayed at my cousin's house to chill the night. the house was in connecticut and it was in a really hill type area. it looked like scenes from the movie "twilight"

i got to see luke and jake my nephews who are the most cutest kids ever! we played ball the first night in at this dope ass open gym.  the oxygen out there was so pure, maybe because it was all trees. i would like to thank my cousin claudine for having us and david for letting us stay as well.

NYC is such a ugly/beautiful city! garbage everywhere but the buildings and architecture were amazing.  tagged up walls everywhere! everyday we ate at this place called dumpling house, they had thee most amazing fried dumplings and this chinese stuffed pizza that was made out of sesame bread, carrots, cilantro, and your choice of meat, pork, duck.

probably the greatest thing about new york is the fashion. most everyone is fashion forward and looks fresh to death. dapper even. thank goodness i didnt bring much money because if i did i would have spent it all at ralph lauren or marc jacobs.

everywhere we went was walking distance so that was perfect. there was even this ballet performance on 4th street that capped off an amazing walk to DQM.

the night life there was very boogie we went to lower east side and the meat packing district.  i dont want to enclose how much we drank but we had muchos fun.

the final day in NYC was a sad moment, ate at dumpling house and said farewell to everything.

in the future after graduating college i will most likely move to NYC just to see how it is and live the city life for real.

thank you NYC

cruisin down LSD

the modern wing

the art institute of chicago is free til the 22nd. and they just added the modern wing.

"Designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Renzo Piano, the Modern Wing will provide a new home for the museum’s collection of 20th- and 21st-century art. Now a decade in the making, this 264,000 square-foot building makes the Art Institute the second largest art museum in the United States. The building will house the museum’s world-renowned collections of modern European painting and sculpture, contemporary art, architecture and design, and photography. The extraordinary scope and quality of these collections will be a revelation; each will be displayed more comprehensively than ever before. The opening of the Modern Wing will allow the Art Institute to take its rightful place as one of the world’s great collections of modern and contemporary art."

one to another.

so i went on craigslist to try and apply/find a job. it was only 3 minutes until i started searching for random for sale ads such as fixed gear bikes, computers and lenses for my camera. its funny because in order to purchase these items i would need a job. the internet is a mysterious land of mystery. living the dream cant go on forever... can it?

start of a new summer

photoblogging is the best. i have much more!

been a minute and some odd seconds

i know it has been a while since an update but i will be sure to update a lot after finals week.

God's hand?...

bring you flowers...

so the saying goes...

"you dont really know what you got until its gone." i find that this quote is true. sometimes people take things for granted and people don't see what they really have until they figure out til the end. but is it too late to try and do something about it? is "it" really gone? i have been told to fight for what you want and there can be no what ifs and if you do fail at least you failed trying. i know this quote is true because of experience. i had something great/amazing but i was blinded by my fears. i was scared of something great, when i fought for it i knew it was too late, but someone told me that there is no such thing as right timing, so why is it bad timing that i am too late? chances come and go in life and its our responsibility to take the chances as they present themselves. i know that i messed up my chance(s) but i know that if i get another i wont mess that up. fall out boy once told me "hell or glory, i dont want anything in between", oh and jordan once told me, "i can accept failure but i cant accept not trying." i have learned so much from what i had and i learned so much from this experience. i just want to learn more and experience more with what i had but only time will tell right? there is another saying that goes, "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you it's yours" thank you.

currently listening to taylor swift - breathe

currently listening to...

This bedroom light distracts my stare
I find it hard to keep still
Everything is so still, like this
I wont have to wait for long before I start to see that your the only thing that works

will you stay,keep this evening calm
ill shield you from this night
ill make everything alright

will you make sure the door is locked
We wont have to talk, as long as you are here with me again



Make this ride as fast as I can
Tonight this road home feels a little longer
I hope you know that you were my best friend
Tonight I said goodbye, but I should have said more
Thanks for the best time of my life.

Come home, now that you're gone I've finally realized
That you were the best
Come home, I won't forget the times that we had
I'm wishing that you weren't a part of my past

Emptiness swallows this town
From now on I will be alone for good
Will you remember my name?
I'm hoping that I will hear from you soon

Thank you for everything
Come home, now that you're gone I've finally realized
That you were the best
Come home, I won't forget the times that we had
So please don't be a part of my past

a real life...

Wall-E.

They have these recycle trash compactors at my school (Loyola) and it totally reminded me of Wall-E. Both solar powered and both trash compactors. Only if I could take this Wall-E home with me.

catch me riding...

dirty

its getting to that time of the year when the weather is warming and the winds are calming. you know what that means...

took this picture while on the bridge on michigan avenue. the light was turning green so i had to capture a shot real quick.
went to chinatown with franklin, richard, jason, and myself (in order of bikes)

only NERDS...

would do this for their friends

so mark and I had a "little" gathering at the house to celebrate our aging. we was a pretty nice turn out. i got a phone call from my friend nerd saying he has a surprise for me and that i should open the side door. i see him and his girlfriend (klarisse) coming to the door, its pouring rain like crazy and i see nerd carrying this big ass red cake. as he gets closer i see an amazing logo that everyone should know...
Jordan
He knows mark and I love jordan so him and his girlfriend baked a cake that had the jordan logo on it. the cake was crazy delicious! at 1st we didnt even want to touch it because of its glory but that cake was amazing. it was really really sweet, just like my friend nerd ;)

thank you and thanks to everyone who came out on saturday march 7th 2009

deuce deuce on..

tonya's joi vs sunset...yummy

few of my friends came over and baked me a brownies and put this cute ass bear and lit it up as if it were birthday candles. love you guys =]

5 guys...

and a big ass bag of fries

headed over to that burger joint near depaul with my good friend franklin (man date) to check out this place that is supposedly better than in n out burger...it was good..but not In n Out good, they loaded the fries like crazy! the dopest part about this restaurant was that you can get any ingredient free of charge (grilled onions, sauces, grilled mushrooms etc.)

pretty cool wall where people write stuff and pin it up.

feeling high..

on the 95th floor signature room

what an amazing view of the city, had brunch with a friend of mine, you cant go wrong with great company, good food and clear skies. much needed time away from the monotonous schedule of mine.

its a celebration...

happy birthday michael jeffrey jordan

DESSERT!

i remember when i was young i used to eat this dessert all day everyday! maybe sometimes just the ingredients! this is called halo halo, a famous filipino dessert where you shave ice, place ingredients (Ube, coconut gel, red bean etc) and top it off with condensed milk! yummy

60...

degrees and time to ride

it was an amazing day in chicago today, 60 degrees, clear skies and dry roads, i had to bring my baby out. cruised all day from 9 in the morning (then school) til 11 at night.

deepest fear..

i know i already posted this, but i love this quote/poem by marianne williamson
