Letting the world know im an otaku!

2011-05-01T19:09:00.000-07:00

So i randomly thought of doing the "interview" series. it didnt turn out as funny, or i didnt research enough on otaku that i didnt even know what to say lol

why cant people just shut their mouth?

2011-04-28T19:55:00.000-07:00

its not that I trust anyone lol just sayin!

what's worst? smoking or getting fat?

2011-04-26T15:01:00.000-07:00

If you're one of those people that are totally against smoking, please do not watch this video. If you are yet you still watched it, please do not start an argument with me! its just a rant im doing from boredom!

I also forgot to mention that the government actually makes ALOT of money from sales they made from tabacco. If there was not one smoker left on this country we are screwed!

sometimes i wanna talk and not type

2011-04-21T22:26:00.000-07:00

i thought i would never upload a video like this before but i kind of understand why people do this now. sometimes you just want to let out what ever thats in you and typing it out just doesnt do the job lol or im just bored..

this one is one i made from a website called xtranormal. pretty cool website, its free and u can make an animation clip based off the characters they already hav been made for u. all you have to do is pick a place, character, and type out the script. the words that you typed will be read through the program they have.

I love you, I love you, I love you and I hate you - Miyavi (cover)

2011-04-13T22:50:00.000-07:00

First song I made!

2011-04-12T21:29:00.000-07:00

I did a cover of "I love you, I love you, I love you, and I hate you" by miyavi.

original song is with guitar and drums but since i dont play guitar, I made a imitation with putting distortion on bass. I also put on bass without the effect cuz i thought the song sounded better with both. Drum beats I put in with ableton, the original song had simple beats but when I make it, it doesnt sound as good lol I hope you guys like it!

Sprinkles Cupcakes @la jolla

2011-02-26T23:09:00.000-08:00

I heard about this place from my clients that people actually lines up for cupcakes. im like realli?in san diego people line up? lol
i dont like waiting in long lines but i was so curious of what it tastes like and i always look for new places to get good sweets/food so i decided to go with my friends few weeks ago.
the line wasnt too bad, it was about 15~20min wait. i mean, its bad but not as bad as what i heard, which is close to an hour wait. i think the reason why lines form is 1)even though all they need to do is box up the cupcake you choose, they still take awhile until they give it to you. 2) the store itself is very small, no indoor seatings. take outs only.
i got red velvet, chocolate and marshmallow, dark chocolate, and orange
i think i liked the chocolate and marshmallow the best. surprisingly the other ones were sweeter. the red velvet and orange had too much icing on the top that it was too much for me. still they were all very good
they also have this thing where you say the magic word of the day and they give you a free cupcake. i tried to find the word but couldnt find the one for san diego :[ i dono if ill line up for it again but ill go in if i happen to drive by and i dont see any lines (like thats ever gonna happen....)

Linkin Park @viejas arena

2011-02-23T20:45:00.000-08:00

This was on sunday night. i thought viejas arena was at viejas so i was thinking "man, its gonna b a long drive. coming back is gonna suck" but it was actually at sdsu, never knew they changed the name for that arena lol

right after work i picked up my friend and went over to sdsu. traffic was horrible, there was a line of car waiting to get into the parking lot. they even charged for parking too it sucked lol the line to get into the arena was pretty long too, they seperated the seating ticket and floor ticket so our line wasnt so bad. one for seating was retarded long so im glad we bought the floor tickets. my client told me the tickets were sold out so there was alot of ppl. once we got in we waited for about an hr for the opening band to start playing. The Prodigy was the opening band and i never really got into them so i didnt recognize any of their songs lol. cool music and but the music was too loud i can barely hear the vocals. i checked few of their music videos on youtube, sounds pretty good. i might download an album if i hav time.

so after they were done and the setups linkin park finally started playing :] i expected them to play most of the stuff from their new album, thousand suns (which i absolutely hate) you might be thinking "than y r u here?this tour is all about that" but i never saw LP live before and its pretty rare for me to b able to attend any big events like this since i have work all the time. anyways, they played mostly their old songs yay :]
ofcourse they played some of their new songs, they sounded ok, mayb cuz at live i get a different feel of the music, sounded better than i would hear it in my car.

it was an awesome show and i will continue to listen to linkin park<3

Vivienne Westwood in West Hollywood

2011-02-16T22:27:00.000-08:00

I went to LA yesterday to go visit my friend and we decided to go around Melrose area for some shopping. I saw the sign "Vivienne Westwood coming soon" about 6month ago and they have no information about the store online so I had to drive by the main strip and look out for it. i was able to find the store and they said it was the fourth day open. I was hoping they would have the armour ring and the orb lighter pendant I wanted but they didnt have that much selection of jewelry and said they would have more stuff come in later. I ended up buying a belt loop and a necklace. something i wasnt planning to get but i think it looks cool.

vegas trip for poker!

2011-01-05T21:32:00.000-08:00

I was debating if i should go to vegas or not during my new yrs break since i went on thanksgiving and this yr i want to try to save much money as possible.. but the hotels were really cheap after new yrs day and i decided to go! stayed at Imperial Palace this time, 30$ a night :] hotel was dirtier than Newyork Newyork but they hav a poker room and cant complain with the price and location.. right in middle of the strip. I was doing well at first (with poker) but did a bad call with pocket Q and lost my 200$ stack i built up with 100$ buyin. i was pretty upset but knew that was my bad so im like wutever, and bought in with 100$ again. second hand i get was AK. i raise 20$ and i had my body language like i was on tilt so people would call, resting my head on one arm and throwing in my chips like im pissed lol. one loose player calls and the board was A rag rag. no flush draw. i throw in another 20$ he calls, or mayb 25$? cant remember. turn card was like a 6 of spades. i go all in with 60$ or mayb little bit less. he instant calls and the river was another spade. the guy gets a flush. i was so shocked, i had him all the way til the river. god dammit. i went back to my room and cried on my bed, jk, but seriously fuck that bs call. so i go down 200$ first night, wut a way to start my trip.

next day we walk over to Osheas, which was right next to our hotel. one player was playing realli bad (mayb he was drunk? dono) but everyone else was realli tight. reminded me of playing at Barona or Sycuan. so i didnt wanna stay for too long, after constantly folding i finally get a monster hand pocket A. i raise 10$ and one guy reraises me like 40$. i look at my stack and i think i had like 90$ behind? i go all in, he calls. KK vs. AA and that made my stack double up. so i left lol. and walked over to venetian. much nicer hotel and the place was packed with poker players. but same type of players, great. few players i didnt wanna go against but there was a hand i had to go heads up with. i had top pair A kicker. hav position too and the guy continuation bets. i call all the way and ends up him hitting a straight on the river. gut shot straight draw from flop. very nice buddy. after awhile they leave and few bad players come in. i build my stack like 60$ up and i left for dinner. at this point im winning 150$ from both session, 50$ more to go to break even.

We ate at the Aria for buffet. first time going in the hotel (pics on top is both from Aria). very clean and artistic, love the atmosphere. buffet was pretty good but the alcohol they serve r so strong at the casino. i was getting drunk from cranberry vodka lol. they had a poker room but according to my friend it sucks. so we go back to Venetian to play more.

I got back in a different table, new faces so i had to pay attention which player i can go against to make money. one girl was reraising with AJ on a AQ rag board so i marked her as one. one guy with a decent amount of stack was asking the dealer he had A7 on a 3 4 4 board and if it was a good hand. he said he thinks its good, and no its not good at all, for those of you that dont know poker. so i mark him as retard. he kept putting in 5$ bet saying "very affortable" like every hand he was in lol. so after playing few hands i get QQ. the girl i wanted to go up against raises 10$ on top. i call. board was 5 6 10 i think. i raise 15$ or 20$ i think. she calls. turn card is 9. I raise 40$. she puts me all in. im like wtf? that play is like her having pocket 9s. now that i think about it, she couldve hav 10 9. newayz that time i couldnt think like rite now and i thought she sucked so i call. ends up her having pocket K. i instantly lose 200$ with that one hand. i buy in for 100$ and seat changed to go on her left. after thinking hard about the hand, she had me on a range pin point. no pocket A -> didnt reraise her. mayb A 10 -> raising flop. blasting my money in with that board ->JJ or QQ = her pocket K is good. worst case scenario is a chop with me having same hand as her. and paying attention to her betting pattern i realize shes realli good. i told her that was a realli sick bet.. she knew i was gonna call with JJ or QQ too... we tlked little and shes pretty nice. i had alot of respect for her play style and she was the best at the table. i got up, went for a smoke and when i came back she was in a situation of call All in or fold. i didnt see too much money in the pot mayb like 20$+. looked like she raised 40$ and the guy re raising. she thinks hard and calls with pocket 8 hitting a set on the flop. guy had a straight, gut shot from flop. i asked the other players how it went and it was check around on flop, guy raises 10$ on turn with A coming out (A is not the card he needs) she re raises 40$ he calls. than he goes all in on river. i wouldve done that call too! its a bad beat...wuts up with people going in with gut shots?? she left right after that, i was sad i wasnt able to tlk to her more. guy that raises 5$ every time leaves too... newayz after playing few more hands i got my stack up to 350$ and left. i broke even. 4$ profit to b exact from the entire trip :] i learned alot and i will continue to play poker!

Fashion Show! this time modeling and also doing hair again

2011-01-04T22:21:00.000-08:00

I will admit.. i got kind of lazy on doing hair this time so i only did like 2 girls hair.. and they're modeling for different designer than mine so i cant find ne pics so far :[ once i get it ill upload it!

it was my first time modeling at an actual event like this so i was nervous/excited about it. clothing i had to wear was not my style but models hav no choice and i know that so cant complain too much. my friend rex modeled with me too and he also modeled for a jewelry designer. i joked he should just wear the necklace and go topless and he did lol.

again i met some cool people. one of the designer had a realli sick style and her brand name is trashy klassy. i guess she doesnt hav an actual website but can contact her through myspace. havnt used that in ages!
i might model again soon if they're looking for male models.

Audrey Napoleon @U-31

2010-12-21T19:33:00.000-08:00

This was actually on last friday but i was so busy till now to blog about it. pic is found on google, i forgot to bring my camera so i couldnt take ne pics damn it.

audrey is one of the dj i saw at Voyeur when i went to see Simian Mobile Disco few weeks back. check my blog about that one for more details. I didnt know her name at the time but one of the event invitation i got a week ago was with her on the cover. i never knew she was that famous. of course ill go see her! cover was only 5$ and U-31 was a pretty chill place. i heard good things about it and i never had the chance to go check it out till than. the opening djs were pretty good but i was waiting for audrey to go up the whole time lol. she played last so i waited like 2hrs. once she got up dou, it was worth waiting! shes so pretty and the music is freakin sick. im gonna b a fan and follow her around (creeper status)

my poker life

2010-12-13T15:33:00.000-08:00

as most of my friends know i play poker like every week. i started i think like 2yrs ago? i knew how to play but wasnt good at it so i actually trained on facebook and learned strategies lol. after i started winning online i played at the casino. i was surprised how many people plays worst than on facebook. but bad players leads to bad beats...which i had all nite last nite and on the tournament i was in this morning.

i was reading some articles and one of the tip was to "keep track" of your winnings and losings. im pretty good at that but i found an android app on my phone "poker session log" which u put in how much u bought in for, amount cashed out, time u played, etc. and it calculated how much im making an hr and also graphs it so u can see how ur going up or down. i recommend to anyone who plays poker, its a good way to see how ur doing overall. u can win over 400 one nite and u think ull b ok for few weeks but u can also lose alot.

i played tournament for the first time today at oceans eleven. 45$ buy in. 25$ blinds to begin with. i think u start off with 3k or 3.5k. blinds go up every 10mins....yea it feels like it goes up every 2 hands. i was getting short stacked but waiting for a good hand like A K or even A Q and going all in pre flop got me to survive for 2hrs. when it was 2tables left (top 10 players, who evers in when theres only 1table wins) i got a AA for my second or third hand, went all in with small and big blind on my left with 2people calling the 1600 blind. i thought i won for sure but the guy with 55 called and destroyed me by turning a straight. i had fun so i think it was worth playing and i wanna play again. what i learned was you have to b aggressive than how u usually play. tip i read online was that once people r in the hand they would call even though its not a good hand to call a raise with. also u hav to bluff sometimes. example: blind was 100 i raise to 300 with AJ 2 guys put in 100 already so they call by putting 200 more. flop was 665 i had position and they both checked, i raise 1000 they both fold and i won 600 from the raise i did preflop.

im gonna start playing twice a week now and save up until i can buy a car lol

Fashion Show @Ruby Room

2010-12-06T00:16:00.000-08:00

Few weeks ago i contacted MayStar(picture above) my fav club event promoter and asked if i can join her team to style hair for the models in the upcoming fashion show. she said yea and sent me some pictures how she wanted the models to look:] its been a looong time since i did something like this so it was alot of fun and i love meeting and tlking to new ppl. especially her events cuz its full of artistic ppl i get alot of influence from.

one of the model i did hair for. she was friendly and fun to tlk to. she makes custom jewelry and she said she can make something i ask for too~!

i didnt do everything w this models hair. it was more like i finished the style. there was another male stylist and he made a style but the designer(?) wanted to hav a little editing on it so i did wut she asked for. the guy was rite next to me when i was doing it so i felt kind of awkward, he said it looks good when i was done so i had alot of respect for him. i personally liked her hair the best out of 4 styles i did dou. hard to tell from pic but she had nice hair colouring done too. shes also a hair stylist and surprisingly we started at same time (4yrs).

these 2 girls had way too short hair for the style i was been told through messaging few days ago. soo i ended up just tlking w the model and see wut we could do to make it work. my camera took it blurry so its hard to tell but i wanted her hair to look alittle bit messy than how it turned out but i guess it works w the outfit she wore. same thing w the girl in pic below it. i shouldve brought more product. i wasnt expecting any styles like this.

i had alot of fun and for sure ill b doing it again when i hav a chance. thank you everyone that came and saw the show and people that couldnt make it, i hope to see u next time :]

gas mask i bought online

2010-12-01T23:08:00.000-08:00

my friend got me cigarettes from japan!

2010-11-30T21:41:00.000-08:00

this is the first time trying these.. ice blast was pretty minty without crushing the ball like camels. once its crushed it has a peppermint flavor to it. so it feels like im using mouthwash and smoking at same time lol but man ne cigarettes from japan tastes so good.. it doesnt make my throat ichy like the ones i get here, and this is y i cant stop smoking..cuz my friends keep going back to japan..lol the black menthol one i havnt tried yet but im assuming it just tastes lighter than the regular.

Vegas trip! ep.3 : Forum Shops

2010-11-29T20:43:00.000-08:00

The last day has come and i was planning to go back around 5 or 6:00 and getting out of the hotel at 2 doesnt leave us much time to do nething.. there was a store i wanted to go so we head over to caesars palace where they hav the mall Forum Shops. it was realli nice and clean. i wish i could smoke in there dou. after having a cigarette in my mouth walking around everywhere i forget theres "no smoking areas" in vegas lol. So i go to Chrome Hearts and i got the tank top i wanted and i was looking for an earring or cigarette case but they didnt hav it... they had few earrings but didnt realli like :[ after few mins of looking around i came across these pins they had. i wanted something i can attach to my blazer (like a broatch) so this was perfect~:] not something i was planning to buy dou lol

Vegas trip! ep.2 : Tao Nightclub

2010-11-28T20:17:00.000-08:00

I heard good things about this club and the club inside where we stayed at was closed, so we took the cab and went to the one inside venetian, Tao. I expected alot more expensive than clubs in SD but we were able to go inside right away (no lines luckily) and it was 20$ for cover. drinks were i would say same price as downtown SD, 2cocktails for 25$, still its expensive when you can get those for free at the casino. it was crazy packed inside and i never seen so many asians at a club lol. i also like how its open late, til 5am! we got there at 3am, you can never party this late in california...sigh. the lightings were cool but the music was something i dont dig, radio music bleh. after we were don at tao i went to play poker inside venetian. it was realli nice. probably the best poker room ive seen out of the 3 (MGM and Planet Hollywood r the other ones i saw). people playing were friendly and i enjoyed the time there but without winning any big pots i lost 100$ lol. i was so tired and thinking about driving back in few hours didnt realli help me concentrate.. i had to ask for a late check out, which made it 2pm instead of 11am.

Vegas trip! ep.1: Newyork Newyork

2010-11-27T21:33:00.000-08:00

This is the hotel we stayed at. It has a rollercoaster on the rooftop, it was fun but kind of pricey.(14$ for a ride) it was freezing cold outside too. I was kind of upset this hotel didnt have a poker room, theres a bridge that directly connects to MGM grand that does have one dou.

the room we stayed in. i booked the Spa suite so it has a jacuzzi inside :) even though i only spent like few hrs in the room, having the extra space and jacuzzi was worth it. especially when i had to walk outside in the cold its nice to come back and relax.

did the japanese straightning on my sister

2010-11-23T19:18:00.000-08:00

she has really curly hair but as you can see it gets straight after the chemical process. took like 3hrs. not too bad compared to 4hrs which i normally take when doing people with long hair. ive seen people do other straightnings such as brazillian blow out, chi straightning, relaxer, etc. but the product we use makes the hair straightest, and lasts alot longer. ive actually got it done on my bangs before and it makes it so much easier to take care of ur hair. just blow drying with ur hands and it gets flat ironed straight! not too much damage unless you have color or any chemical work done on your hair. call my salon and schedule an appointment if you want straight hair! ;]

simian mobile disco @ voyeur

2010-11-23T01:02:00.000-08:00

on sunday i went to voyeur, club in downtown where i had my bday party :) and went to see simian mobile disco~<3 there was 2 dj's opening and they were both pretty good, one of the dj was a girl and it was my first time seeing a female dj. she had amazing performance and music was good but too lazy to look up her name lol. the club is pretty small so it was PACKED. i didnt expect this since it was a sunday nite and all the events i go to on sundays arent so packed. there was 2guys that was irritating me: 1. the clapping guy. he claps so hard next to my ears that it just ruins the whole music. 2. fat sweaty guy that keeps bumping into me and feels wet on my arm each time i make contact. other than that the nite was sweet.

I got a printer for 90cents

2010-11-20T20:01:00.000-08:00

I started this thing called pennybids online and i won this printer for 90cents, plus shipping which was like 10$. still really cheap for a brand new printer. I was kind of disappointed when i found out it didnt come with a usb cable and i dont hav one that connects to this printer either...lame. ill probably only print things like once a yr but im happy i got it so cheap. but this online auction thing is addicting and scary how money disappears in a sec if your not careful. its seriously worst than poker i think lol for people that dont knoe about penny bids:
they're basically online auctions where they sell stuff brand new and all the items starts from $0.00. you have to purchase "bids" which r like tokens you need to bid on the items you want. the website i go to (http://www.quibids.com/) is 60cents for each bid. there is a time limit for every item and when it goes to 0. the last person that bid will b winning the item no matter what the price is. ive seen people win ipods and game systems for less than 10$. you would think waiting til the last second and put in ur bid would make u win easy like ebay, but this is the part where its different. everytime you place a bid, the timer would reset back to 10~20sec. so it can never end until the other person bidding against u gives up. every time you place a bid the item price goes up by 1 or 2cents depending on the item. soo if you put in 10bids and won an item for 5$, you really spent 11$. i lost alot already so i think ill take a break for now lol but its pretty fun so ill go back again
