After a seemingly long trip to the East Coast, I know even more that I am not ready for NYC as much as I thought I was. I'm glad that I went to seek it and out and not just sit on my ass and hope some opportunity landed in my lap. I learned a lot on this recent journey and that is...I really needed to reflect on the good I have hear in San Francisco before I make any huge leaps.
Special Words!
Happy 23rd Birthday Bianca! As promised, I will always raise a drink in memory of you, our friendship, and the essence that is you. I miss you always!

Upon exit of the unversity of california I am excited and nervous about the world after graduation. I feel like I've been given a wonderful opportunity to create change in the way that best suits me.

Everyone is full of contradictions and why can't a pinoy be stylin in boots and some sevens?In any case, like most of my homiez, I am person looking for a tangible profound, that miraculous moment, healing of mind, metaphysical, and soul, and that costant search for a quick theortical fuck of the thought.to be continued...and not...
