Ex-Lovers can never be friends. If they do so, it's either they still love each other or they never really loved each other at all.

Inhale, Exhale

Conclusion

I gave her my jerk smirk, she smiled back, the girl shined so hard it hurt, but it was the breath of her skirt, so the rest of her body was a dope piece of work.

Ain't That Somethin?

I love a girl that takes the beauty from a thrift store. That's my kind of girl. & I'll never call you my bitch or my boo because there's so much more in a name and so much more in you.

If a relationship is an effort, I will match your work

I wanna be the one to make you happiest, and the one that hurts you the most

They say the end is near, all that's important is that we're close

..to the most high

Regardless of what happens, on Him let's rely.

Omg you just made me feel better, thanks though, because I know I won

New Pictures

at Gnarcotix.com, i'm the one who usually posts there so yea.

check the pictures out yo!

Off at night when your living it up, and I'm off to sleep.

When will these girls understand that partying is not the theme of life.

For every negative thing said of a person, there are three positive things that counteract it.

Can't say shit now, can you.

Pull me from the darkness and into the light.

Oh Lord have mercy on me, the souls of my feet are worn, what is my destiny

No matter what, you cant avoid it, it will always be there

I really can't get you off my mind

It's damn ironic how people say life is like a rollercoaster, it has it's ups and downs, funny thing is that going down on a rollercoaster is the funnest part of the ride.

Use somebody

Hold up, wait a minute, this is to catch your attention,

because you know i can use somebody, someone like you,

And all you know and how you speak

Countless lovers undercover of the street

You know that i can use somebody, someone like you.

Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice,

I hope it's gonna make you notice,

someone like me.

To many worries in my head today,

so I'm gonna set them on the table like cards and deal with them tomorrow.

This girl

Is making me realize how stupid I acted.

I didn't make contact to tell you I still hated you, I was just wondering how've you been.

All my friends make fun of me for drinking hot chocolate, I make fun of all my friends for drinking alcohol. In the end, I'm the one with the sober mind. Fucking dipshits

Everything is going to the beat, check it out.

Canon

is a bitch for not being able to fix my lens.

i got a letter saying my 135mmL is Economically Beyond Repair.

WTF, they didnt even touch it, those fucking bastards.

Man, it's hopeless, i'm out of photography until i have enough money for a new camera.

FUCKKKKK

She Told Me

I'm hard to keep up with, but asked when i'll grow up.

Ouch.

Positive + Negative will always = Negative

Needed to post this somewhere for safe keeping

She's the queen of hearts, your the king of diamonds, careless of your intentions, unrecognizable of her love

she's shining you in her limelight, just another spotlight

all she hopes for is for you to take notice

of her intentions, but your unaware...

-My unfinished poem, bitch

Nice Teeth

-Permit test

-Homework

-Call for Service

-Camera

-Trick bike & Speed bike

-chill tonight

"If you knew my story word from word, all of my past history, would you go for someone like me?"

Kill the hype, honestly, whats so good about shoes, not gonna do you any good in heaven, is it really worth the money just

for a couple of compliments?

& i hate getting these stupid emails about buying my bike, come on, build your own setup, getting a fixie is not gonna be cheap.

Oh & buy my camera, Canon Rebel XSI w/ battery grip, 2 rechargeable batteries, battery charger, 8gig Sandisk Extreme 3 mem card, card reader, strap, and cap.

All for $550, only problem is the vertical grip button overreacts and sometimes won't shoot, but i still have the warranty card & box for the batterygrip. You can ship it to the Canon Service Factory in Irvine and get it fixed if you want.

I have the box for everything also, camera body, battery, grip, and blah. all that stuff. Just let me know, i need to sell it.

I'm still wondering and comprehending why it happened..now I'm cold hearted

Fuck Haters

For everyone that has been trying to prank call me lately,

FUCK YOU, if your gonna say some shit, dont hide your fucking shitty ass face to me, show it and say it to my fucking face, quit hating because i'm getting somewhere with my life, your probably some typical ass filipino hypebeast that just fucking cares about materialistic shit. If you got something to say, fucking confront me if you have a problem with me because you could be probably horribly mistaken, bitch. 

"They say when people hate your doing the right thing, but that's your perspective, their perspective, that never made it in this quote was that when they hate, they judge you for what you are, not who you are."

Try to stop me, I'm gonna make it to the top. Fucking Gnarcotix bitch!

Honestly

I remember when Carl and I were hyping up the whole weekend of actually filming for the first time. The whole epic plan never ended and still continued on until today, this has been the most fun and adventure i ever had. The Gnarcotix life i guess! So last week was...i recall chillin with Kimberly, Resil, Chin, Pepe, Carl, Eric,Robert,  and Marcus on Friday, pretty damn chill. Saturday was the swapmeet at Dolores Park and after was BFF, fail at the trick comp though, the bmx shii was awesome though. Watched some movies around 9 & went to the after party down at Sports Basement on Bryant & 16th. Sunday, was another filming day around the city with Veronica, Marcus, Fonseca, & Carl. Crazy thing about that day was that when going home we got pulled over because Fonseca's back license plate was unlit, but in the end he got cited for having an expired license, weird thing is that he got pulled over 2 times in the past few months and the other cops didnt say anything. We ended up walking to Carl's apartment and chillin the fuck out having a great time.

Oh & i was playing around with the Daniel's EOS-1N Film Cartridge Canon SLR, OHHHMYYYGAWD, that shit is so awesome, it's like a DSLR but just using a film cartridge, so sick, i was just messing with Daniel's Camera the whole time on Friday.

This summer is the most i have ever had fun and adventure, and the most unhealthiest i have eaten or slept. Crazy, i should work on the sleeping habit again, it's fucking me up at school.

UGH and i got pissed this morning when i was doing that test! I totally forgot how to solve word problems with logs -.- 

when it was 183=ab to the power of 8 over 53=ab to the power of 4, i minused 53 from 183 like how your suppose to do for the exponents but your just suppose to leave them to be 183/53=b to the power of 4 then you multiply 1/4 from both sides then you get what b is T-T, i totally forgot about that, so i missed like 2 1/2 problems, FAWK. whatever though, today is either heading to SF again, or chilling with Sofia Bray today.

I honestly wouldn't want my summer any other way, because now it's just me & you.

Edit: & one more thing! I'm heading back to San Diego in 2 weeks for the premier of No Cassettes! Gonna be fucking sick

Photography Classes

ARE FUCKING USELESS, unless your taking it to work at film and the procedures to developing a film & if your forced to because your planning to major or minor it in college. I guess a class to get to know how your camera works is alright, but you can always read the manual, that's why they put it in with the box. Why take a class from someone with a totally different view on things with his/her opinion on their shooting, processing style. Conflict of interest. You are practically learning from his or her experience and style, that is not originality, and knowing that photography is not just an art or skill, but both, you should experience your own and as an artist, develop your own view, ism, and style into your photography. In all honesty though, nothing is original, because all you do is combine the effort of everybody you ever know. Photo classes are a waste of money and time though, because in actuality, photography is really easy, it's just an expensive hobby, and as an artist, being human, you can only be selfish, not many photographers will tell you to go big once you get a camera, they tell you to go for something amature "so you can get used to it" that's some bullshit, because later on, you'll begin to love it and want a better setup. To put it all in simple words, after your done with the photo class, you can go back and tell yourself that it was all common sense and the class was such a waste of time, well that is if it hits you that you could have learned everything by yourself, but with the all time low education these days..

just my pair of cents

Edit: yea i know Sean, i never took a photo class.

You know why?

"They call it summer lovin because all you do during summer is party and hookup, no one is really single

even if they have a particular individual. It's not even about the hookups, the parties, the cheating, the holding of 

hands, the hot weather, the chill hangouts or even the cold drinks. It's the carefree attitude all over the air."

I'm gonna call it

"Because i know, i'll leave without a trace, and no one will be able to hint out my trail and i'll come back out of the blue

just like the sun rising from the horizon after the darkest night in the coldest winter."

This is the farthest i'll go

"Realizing that everything happens for a reason, you begin to change your mentality that not only you think

a bad decision is normal but you believe it's right when you look back on it, and that's what they call a negative optimistic habit.

The postive part is that you get over it faster, the negative part is that you begin making it a bad habit to where it becomes

normal. But it depends on your opinion and how it's looked at, therefore, learn from your mistakes and accept that it 

was bound to happen, because there are no such things as accidents."

Another Day

"I wouldn't have it any other way, but i do regret."

Gnarcotix in full effect

I'm in the process of having the site up and running by tonight at 11, get ready to see the first trailer &

the very first few days of filming captured in pictures. If you haven't heard the bad news, my 135mmL got soaked in

root beer & i'll be sending it in for repair asap, and my 50mm aperture shutter isn't working correctly & borke. The good news is that I will be upgrading to a 5d Mark11 by the end of summer. I will own the lenses of 85mmL & possibly a 35mmL, but since i will be filming also for Gnarcotix, i might get a fisheye since of the full frame, or just possibly a super wide angle lens, havent chosen yet but i'll be making my decision soon.

Stay updated, the site will be soon up and running!

Fuck ISS

Honestly, as much as i'm your friends, what is with all the frontin and everyone trying to be hella cool now.

Fuck shoes, revolve your life around something else, get out of the house instead of worrying about your fucking self.

Seriously, focusing on shoes & clothes all the time is one of the most selfish things you can do.

Tomorrow though 8) 

Get ready to see some bomb ass pictures

Edit: My patience is running thin, like the tire on the back of a fixed.

Love for Granted

The past few days have been probably the chillest they have ever been despite the hot weather.

& i should really start blogging again, but after this Thursday i will forsure, get ready to see how crazy this whole weekend is gonna end up!

July 2, Thursday

Jon came over & we headed to the island to chill with Carl, Sean, & Manny. To the Island, then near Fort Mason?

Market street near midnight.

back to Burlingame and racing to Milbrae to actually catch Caltrain. Milpitas bound and just chilled at Great Mall for a bit. Sleptover Richard's house that night.

His dog peed all over my jacket & we just practically played games & knockout.

Bboys, skaters, & fixed gear riders were the entertainment till the fireworks. Carl, Axle, & Aylmer came out of no where and chilled with em a bit after the fireworks. I ended up sleeping over Jansens that night and blah.

At Least

".. i can say proudly that i tried my best to do so, you will never see that, but that's fine."

CAUTION

Because he does not know the dangers of what's in for him, the depth of the abyss that has already engulfed him, he's a walking shadow, more known

as king of rock bottom, and she, she is different. He thinks she's the princess he long awaits for, the frog to his kiss, to save him for such an everlasting bliss.

But he knows not of what of her personality hoax, more of a trickster rather than a joker, the joker of a court. She hides her insides with cultivating attraction, and one kiss...her one kiss is a dose of sodium chloride, ranked 14 on a ph scale, so toxic that all you can do is melt. She leaves you with these unspoken feelings, making you think if she feels the same as you do, and you begin sleeping with an enemy called doubt, and probably the reason why your still in the same position as the day before yesterday. You possibly think, is this karma, the judgement of becoming selfish that you've changed your whole entire being to someone else for someone else.

Cosmos for the focus

"I'm on your side, dark days & cold nights, this is what we are going through, keep holding on, it will be alright."

Tara Ellis, she is beautiful, just like you

Holding On

".. so what I tend to do is to think of today as the past.
It’s funny when you’re coming in first, but you hope that you’re last.
You just hope, that it lasts"

"Dont judge me, try hard to love me."

Be The One

"Now i can't dream about no one else but you, what am i suppose to do?"

Supernova

"....i dont want to spend a day sober, i want to feel numb all over."

Now I can say, there is someone else. Now I can say, there is someone better. Now I can say, there someone else to look forward to. Now I can say, there is someone else worth while. Now I can say, there's gotta be another, another forever.

There's just something about your love babygirl. I know that I'm caring on, nevermind if I'm showing off, i was just frontin, you know I want you babe. I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all but you know I want you, you should stop frontin babe.

I miss you bestfriend

NO ONE KNOWS SHIT ABOUT TRANSFORMERS

surprisingly, Transformers 2 actually followed the story of Generation 2 series, ahhh childhood cartoons! 8)  

3rd movie is fasho gonna be about Unicron transforming Megatron into Galvatron so they can take over Earth after the fail of the Fallen. If anyone knows, Unicron is the same guy as in Fantastic 4:Silver Surfer, known as that big giant transformer that eats planets, including Earth. Unicron is also part of the GI Joe series but most likely wont be coming out in the new movie. & to clear things up, Primus was the one that created the transformers which were made to serve Cybertron, & Unicron is Primus's nemisis which also harnesses weapons called mini-cons. all that blah blah blah, decepticons want the energon to destroy Cybertron & earth, and the Auto bots are to protect it & blah blah blah. heheheh Rodimus Prime though.  

Transformers 3 better be the shit -.-  

 

childhood cartoons for the fucking win. & someone please talk to me who actually grew up to see this shit & understood it -.-

I love the feeling of being in San Francisco at night. Reminiscy feeling. Hurry up babygirl so I can share this feeling with you.

Slight Amnesia

& this is serious, i know who i am and all that shit, but i cant remember how i fell or what happened yesterday, and

i can't remember a lot really. can someone help me rather than being messed up?

my head hurts and i just want to remember everything.

Halfway because a smile won't get you far

Found out that it was ______ ____'s _____ anniversary. I'm sorry to hear miss.

& that Michael Jackson died from a heart attack & Farah Fawcett died from Anal Cancer today. Crazy.

6 more months till Christmas, & 5 more days till we're halfway done with this year.

It's summer and i've been doing my best & having the most of fun. I enjoy it.

Photography creativeness is kicking in.

Learning new things on the bike.

Schools been chill.

Guitaring & bboying is next.
