POLITICIZE YO BLOG!
i enjoy conversations in the car because i tend to talk w/o thinking. i'm just a simple caveman. i'm hella gemini, sorry. i'm very shy (aka i have poor social skills) so i don't say hi a lot of times because i don't think people remember me or not a cool enough person people should talk to. pet peeve: when people don't call me back. bad habit: not calling folks back. i'm a lefty meat eater who hangs out with a lot of smokers, so what if that means i'mma die earlier than the rest of you! i love my sister cuz she's hella dope. my family is crazy...so! i take my ninong/uncle responsiblities seriously. i'm pretty sarcastic (wow, really?!). music is my oxygen. a writer by choice and future occupation. its one of my passions. i don't do spoken word as much as before because i'd rather be the change, instead of talking about it. mira mesa raised. now living in daly city being a SFSU-er. double major- journalism & asian am studies. my parents own a filipino bakery which has its good and bad points. not sure where my life will head, but i try to give meaning to it, sucka.
