Yesterday at work my Big toe broke the fall of a heavy glass shelf. Because I saved the life of the shelf i am now not enjoying my life right now. I've never felt this much pain before, and hope to never feel anything like this ever again.

Today, I had a very important job interview with Byer Califonia. Just because of my disability I HAD to go to this interview. So the only shoe that fit my FAT TOE were my combat boots. How unprofessional, i know! Had no choice. But luckily they understood, and I did really well in my interview!!! Hope to hear from them next week with some good news.

Anyways, what I wanted to say was that: the smallest part of your body can effect your entire body and also your life. This toe makes it really difficult to walk around, brings chills down my back, shooting pains up my leg, and sleepless nights. So it is extremely important to put your health and safety as a first priority. We only have one, so make it last long.

Stay righteous =.]

KIDS HAVING KIDS

I just couldn't wait till this movie is over. What movie? "The Pregnancy Pact" on Lifetime. Its based on a true story about 17 girls in one high school getting pregnant at the same time. Not one of the girls are older than 16 yrs old when they came up positive.

4 of the girls made a pact to be pregnant at the same time so that they can raise their kids together, and that their kids can grow up together and be best friends. They just find it to be so glamorous and nothing but cute, fun lil times.

It surprises me that these girls have no other goals for themselves other than being a mother. Every girl has the potential to explore their dreams, the world, and their options. I have nothing against teen pregnancy (few of friends that became a teen parent, usually by accident), its just when they are so closed minded from the opportunities that awaits them.

its all about communication between the parents and the child. and by that i mean, an open and comfortable relationship between them is key.

SEE ME IN....

then wondered around the city with our "coffee Cups" and ended up at a few bars. One in particular was a bar on Polk Ave, it was a muscle car and soft porn atmosphere. car seats, nude photos of women all over, water beds, and a full stacked bar. then the rest of the night was a blur....

BIZARRE SHORT FILM

i had an amazing opportunity to be part of American Director/Producer, Spike Jonze's short film titled "We were Once a Fairyyale" staring the very talented Kanye West. Which was released during the LA Film Festival 2009. peep game (2 minutes into it you'll find me) :

BADDEST 49NER I KNOW

my niece, Mia Belle, is one badass girl! she is fearless, sassy, talented, charming, smart, and only 4 yrs old. She recently joined the Mini Gold Rush for the San Francisco 49ers. she was the smallest one there and she stood out like she was the tallest girl out there.

I am so impressed with her, being so young she is such an influence in my life and she doesn't even know it. It just proves that it doesn't matter how young or old someone is, we can still learn from one another.

=.] words of wisdom.

STELLA, I MISS THEE

Yesterday I had a play date with Thinh we first went to Berkley and then to Haight St.

annnd all i saw were illl road bikes! and it made me think of my beautiful Stella that was stolen from me in San Diego!

=.[

it was a vintage (70's) Centurion 12 Speed Road Bike. it was perfect for me and i was really hoping to take it back with me to San Francisco, i learned my lesson- ALWAYS LOCK YOUR SHIT UP EVEN IF U THINK ITS SAFE ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY.

NEW YEAR WITH QUALITY FRIENDS

this yea I spent new year 2009 with Thinh at our friend Jeffy's house in Daly City. Which by the way, he has a very siick spot. Amongst all the shots mixes i consumed i remember one conversation i had with a friend. I was saying that now that i am older and wiser i cherish the friends i have, the friends i have today are more than friends, it's family. I dont waste my time on "so-so" friends. i think i have a great network of friends and would like to build stronger relationships with them. And also I think i am wiser when i chose new homies. I try to build a strong relationship with anyone in my life because life is all about the relationships you have with people. You can't enjoy your life alone.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS.

the big question everyone ask are "what's your new years resolution?"

but my favorite are when people say they don't have one because new years resolutions are meant to be broken/ or that just dont want one. I honestly think its BS! i believe the purpose of a resolution is to make progress in your life. pushing yourself to be that better person u strive to be. NO ONE IS PERFECT. Perfect is in the eyes of the beholder.

anyways here are my goals/resolution for 2010:

1. trip to NEW YORK! live as they do.

2. cut back on rice and potatoes (baaaaad Carbs)

3. smoke trees privately not socially.

4. develop a successful blog. (which means more blogging!!)

5. train and complete a marathon

6. by the end of the year pay my parents back at least $5,000

7. but first, establish a career

8. work my first collection for Fall/Winter

9. get tatted up

10. hustle harder.

...its feasible right? i will keep yall updated with any of my goals.

happy new years! make 2010 the year!

kisses <3
