"The behavior of authority figures may seem inscrutable today -- and you are definitely off of their radar. You might be tempted to take advantage of their distraction by relaxing a bit more than usual, but don't -- watch yourself and how you behave today. Now is the time to be a model citizen, in every sense of the term. Resisting the temptation to goof off will help develop your ego and your self-discipline." --Yahoo.com Astrology; Scorpio
Free.
What does it mean to be free?/Free to walk on this world without any worries./Free to wear what you want to wear, do what you want to do and be yourself./Is this wrong?/You say no. - and You say no. - and You say no./I walk down the streets everyday with a mask on./Trying to be someone that society wants me to be./My brothers and sisters get discriminated against./Isn't this suppose to be a free country?/The land of opportunities?/Where every group supports unity?/Then why can't I be free?/Why can't my brothers and sisters be free?/This act of hatred with no support of unity...unity of my own kind./Discrimination by vulgaration/This is a straight nation/and we - we wear a mask./We wear a mask every single day so we can blend in with the crowd./A crowd which then molds into a sound of hatred when my brothers and sisters want to be together in harmony./Free./We are free./I want to be me.

day 025: can't talk right now
Posted on 2007-03-04
"Given the way your mind is working today, flipping a coin might just be the best way to make any decision you're faced with, whether it's what to have for lunch or something much more significant. For too long, you've been overanalyzing things -- and you are close to becoming paralyzed by an excess of information. Break free by operating on instinct today. Follow your whims, and don't buy into the idea that there is one right way and one wrong way -- there's only your way." --Yahoo.com Astrology; Scorpio
Yesterday was pretty awesome. I had fun at both the banquet and the party. My voice is fucked up right now though. Every word I try to say get's cut-off. This was due to me drinking ice cold water at both events. =(
Today, I really don't have any plans but to head down to Robeks and get my daily ounces of wheat grass and to think about what to do next weekend.
Hey you! You know who you are...the one I've been talking to over the phone and relaying messages to online for the past couple of weeks. Do you wanna go on a date with me on Saturday? =D
Well yeah... My friend Jeromie (prounced as Jeremy) had IMmed just a moment ago telling me about his experience at our local Michaels. It's pretty sad how this world still hasn't fully opened up it's eyes.
jeromiegermanyj (1:55:07 PM): Dude friday I got kicked out of michaels
jeromiegermanyj (1:55:24 PM): Some fucking old white dude got me confused with my friend who got kicked out last week
jeromiegermanyj (1:55:39 PM): Cause appearantly all filipinos look alike to white men
con6p2ldsign (1:58:07 PM): wtf
This is totally wrong. If I was there with him that exact moment, I would have confronted the man. The guy needs to really open his eyes because not only was my friend Filipino, but the area he lives in has a large population of Filipinos. It's 2007 and it's sad that there are still some people out there who are ignorant. Aside from the pigmentation of our skin, our culture and our languages, we are still the same. I'm sorry Jeromie that - that had to happen to you...
day 024: busy day
Posted on 2007-03-03
"Today, any secrets you learn must be kept, not shared! You will receive some privileged information from a few very influential people. The trust that they are putting in you could be a sort of test, and the stakes are high. Do not betray or disappoint them by letting some confidential stuff leak out. You have to be vigilant about it, because you'll be involved in several very fun conversations, and it could be easy to slip up! " --Yahoo.com Astrology; Scorpio
Last night was great! Though my bank account is $54.13 less than what I had before because my friends had me buy liquor (and not all paid me back... I actually paid $79.13, but two of my friends gave me $25), I still had fun =).
Today is another busy day for me. I'm attending the Filipino Alumni Banquet at Cal Poly and I'm also performing ("I'll Be"). After that, I'm heading off to Hermosa Beach where my friends are holding a party for one of my other friends.
My Kuya Ryan introduced me to a new artist. He just purchased his CD from iTunes not too long ago and recommended that I listen to him. His name is Justin Nozuka -- a Canadian Japanese singer with this smoothe tone to his voice. His brother George Nozuka sings as well, where his style is more of an R&B Pop. I wanted to post a sample of their songs on here but I can't seem to figure out how to do that yet (I don't even think ShoutPost would allow it -- though that isn't a bad idea).
But yeah... Here are the links to their imeem pages: Justin Nozuka - "After Tonight" | George Nozuka - "Lie To Me"
day 023: recap
Posted on 2007-03-02
"Being of service to another person can be a very complicated thing. Very often, people offer their help only because they are expecting a reward of some kind -- even if that reward is just to be able to boast about being generous. Today, coming to the aid of other people must be done for its own sake. If you're helping someone only for the reward, then it would be better to not help at all. Only step in if you don't expect anything in return. It's not always about reciprocity." --Yahoo.com Astrology; Scorpio
Alright. So I haven't really had much time to keep up on my posts, but to recap of what I've been through for the past days/weeks I can say this... I'M HAVING FUN!!! I don't think I can sum it up better. Now that I'm single again and no longer have to deal with bs from a person who IS bs, I can now breathe and build myself up again.
For the past weekends I've been hanging around with my friends and just enjoying everything that I haven't really gave a chance to enjoy when I was in school. But now that I'm done with school and have less to worry about (other than work), it gives me time to catch up on what I've been missing in life...and that's being happy.
I've noticed that my bank account hasn't been too drained compared to when I was with that one person. And I've also noticed that I'm less stressed out because everyday has been starting out positive. Oh yeah...and now I have even more clothes than before because I've been going to MetroPark and buying all kinds of stuff for myself.
Tonight and this weekend, I'll be out with my friends again...
Saturday is going to be a busy day for me because I have an Alumni Banquet to attend at Cal Poly Pomona (I'm also performing), then right after the banquet, I have to drive all the way to Hermosa Beach for a beach house party. Hopefully everything goes smoothly =).
So yeah...as you can tell...I'm very content at where I am in life right now. No one can hold me down. I am my own person and before I make everyone happy, I have to make MYSELF happy.
***Two more weeks till I go to the Philippines! =P
day 006: lincoln's birthday

"You are well within your rights to put your own agenda first today -- even if it means that you'll cause conflict in a group setting. Getting along well with others should be a secondary goal today. After all, you cannot always be everyone's friend. Do not compromise your beliefs just to keep the peace within a group. Other people might give you grief for not going along with a plan, but deep down they will respect you for sticking to your guns." --Yahoo.com Astrology; Scorpio
(This is a repost since I didn't get to post yesterday)
So my friend's asked me what I'm doing today and of course I said work. They told me to go to La Jolla tonight for a bonfire. My friend's are freak'n nuts cuz they think today is a holiday lol. But yeah...I guess I'm gonna be headed to San Diego right after work. I'm gonna have to swing over the Spectrum to get some clothes to change into without having to go there wearing my office clothes.
day 003: "shoo fly don't bother me"
Posted on 2007-02-09
"This day is loaded with intensity for you, and if you're not careful, it could be somewhat confusing. Every time you make eye contact with someone, you'll sense a deeply meaningful subtext. Does this glance mean something important? It's crucial that you keep your imagination from running too wild today, because you're likely to see hidden messages where none exist. Enjoy the strength of your connections today, but try to take them at face value." --Yahoo.com Astrology; Scorpio
Seriously man...you're the one who broke up with me. Why are you still calling acting like there's nothing wrong and that everything is cool? Have fun with your friends tonight and I'll have fun with mine. Like I said, with or without you, I still have everything and I haven't lost anything but you. And if you think you'd get away by putting me aside for this week so that you can fuck around with your friends while they're here visiting for the weekend, don't be so confident that you'll still have a chance with me. I'm not your fuck'n tour guide nor am I your bitch. It might have worked in Seattle but you're in LA now, it ain't gonna work on me! Yes, I was there for you in the beginning and when you were at those states of stress, but what makes you think I'll still be here for you if everything you've told me were lies. I'm human yo! I'm not your fuck'n toy that you can just play around with when you have no one else to turn to. So get in line because you're not first in my list of priorities anymore. And if you really hate LA so much, why don't you fuck'n move back to Seattle! Good luck here in LA. Latez.
day 002: pay day

"Someone's powerful charisma will turn your head today -- and inspire you to get more involved in an altruistic pursuit. You are emerging from a somewhat introspective time into a mood of wanting to share yourself with others. Being connected to other people -- even strangers -- is important right now. Volunteering is a great option to explore today. Think of what you like most in your life, and try to give someone else that very thing." --Yahoo.com Astrology; Scorpio
Alright! I'm going to hit up South Coast Plaza during my lunch break and shop for a little bit. I have plans for this weekend and I wanna look good for them lol.
Anyways, A friend of mine asked me to watch a play with him called "Dogeaters." He's been asking me for a long time, but I never had a chance to go watch it with him.
Valinda called me earlier this week asking if I'd want to chill with the other's this Friday. I'm not sure if I'd be able to since I'm going clubbing on Friday. I'm gonna have to think about this because I don't usually see her and my other friends anymore since school's over.
Here is the info on the play for this Saturday:
"Dogeaters"
Kirk Douglas Theatre
By Jessica Hagedorn
based on her best-selling novel
Directed by Jon Lawrence Rivera
January 14 - February 11, 2007
A tragi-comic look at the Philippines during the reign of Marcos, and the conflicts experienced by Asian immigrants caught between cultures. Told through a diversity of characters including a soft-porn movie star, a Jesuit priest, a Filipino-American Californian, a hustler and deejay, a movie usherette and Imelda Marcos herself, the world of Dogeaters is beautiful, lush, and always volatile - a wondrous bundle of contradictions where mundane reality, the supernatural, the spiritual and the carnal collide and coexist.
day 001: it's foggy outside

"Your charm is legendary, but it might not be enough to light up the eyes of a certain introverted person today -- do not let this get to you! Focus on the people who do appreciate you, and don't neglect them in order to win over a new person on the scene. It takes time for some people to open up to others and to join group activities, so don't try to force things. You'll win this person over by giving him or her space and time." --Yahoo.com Astrology; Scorpio
Good morning. I actually feel great this morning and I woke up very engergic. Yesterday, was a day of closure for someone and me. It's ok though, I'm not hurting as much as I've hurted before.
Aside from everything else...I can't wait till Friday. My friends and I are going to have a single's night out at the club. And to tell you the truth....I need it. I really need to relax and enjoy everything I have and what I've accomplished. I don't think I was able to do that at all after graduation. I seriously jumped onto the working world right after school and never even thought about stopping and enjoying life. I'm happy where I am right now, and I'm happy with what I've accomplished. So this Friday, I'm going to party like if it was my very own holiday, and appreciate what God has given me. Oh yeah...i'm going to celebrate my income tax refund as well =P
