I know I'm a tad bit late here but it's partly my fault because I was too lazy to search for my own footage..
BUT here it is!

Merry Christmas to all
So for Christmas eve I went to my aunt's house with my family.
It was fun to see everyone again...SO MANY BABIES!!! O_O
My girlfriend finally got to meet a lot of them so that was nice haha.
We ate some good food, some desserts, and exchanged our secret santa gifts.
My sister gave me a pair of jeans! Which is good because I needed a new pair...damn Brokedancing keeps ripping mine up >:[
My Christmas shopping was pretty small this year. I only got my family, secret santa, and my girlfriend a gift because I'm really tight on money. BUT to all those that received a free shirt from me...MERRY CHRISTMAS you broke mothafuckas! lol ;]
Plus on top of that I received a huge ticket that I have to pay before the 1st so I'm struggling to get rid of that -_- If anyone has any donations or loans ;]
But anyway..overall besides the fat ticket I received on Christmas eve...it was overall a nice and chill break.
I got my mom a movie gift card...she better watch Avatar! O_O haha
Got my dad some new KIKZ! lol..Bought my dad a pair of Air Max 1's since he's a Nike head.
Bought my oldest sister a big ol' spoon for her kitchen...I don't know...it was on her wishlist and a KidRobot x Simpsons toy.
And bought my older sister TWO KidRobot x Simpsons toys. Yep.
Bought my girlfriend a bunch of random stuff that she selected at Ross since we both didn't want anything in particular and we just ended up picking up something we liked there hahaha
Also bought her some mace pepper spray lol just incase >.<
My parents gave me some money =]
My sister gave me a pair of jeans and a camera memory card...which is good because I really wanted one.
And my other sister gave me a flashdrive for my computer which is good because I also needed that as well.
Emily bought some stuff I picked at Ross like a crewneck and a t-shirt hahahaha wasn't too picky this year >.<
And got a dope Bob Marley shirt from my friend Alex...I OWE YOU!
Other than that, the stress continues to build up about that damn ticket but Christmas was very chill ^_^"
Till next time.

WINTER BREAK ON!
So I just finished my last final of Fall semester..officially on break until January 11th, 2010.
What to do???
Well...work for sure but other than that I really want to get some practice hours in and use this time to get better.
Needa stay motivated and focused on what I need to get better.
Sucks I don't have the screenprinting class anymore, I still have so many shirts I want to make =[
Maybe if I have time I'll take the textiles class next semester but I guess for now...Frank and Sons it is lol.
My sister found two kitties outside. So been pretty much playing with cats all the time until we give them away haha.
It's pretty annoying though because I can't use the bathroom or else I'll wake them up and they won't stop meowing. I NEEDA SHOWER!!!
Dang I still needa go Christmas shopping...got my dad's gift already I just hope it ships in time and I need to get the rest of my family something soon.
I miss my girlfriend.
I need to clean my room!!! Some crap in there isn't even mine...hate it when people make your room their storage -_-
I just got back from watching the long awaited film, "Avatar" and boy oh boy..words can't really describe how....good it was haha.
James Cameron has been my favorite director since I first watched T2 when I was like 2 or 3 years old. This was followed by Aliens, Terminator 1, Titanic, The Abyss and so forth which made him one of my all time favorite film makers.
When I heard he had a new project coming up involving aliens my first thought was...Aliens 5??? Hahaha but when I learned more info and saw the first cut of the trailer my excitement toned down but still this movie looked interesting.
Everyone was talking about how it was a breakthrough through digital and 3D film making but when I first saw the trailer...I thought...eh. I didn't liked the way the aliens looked but still the hype surrounded the film and I wanted to be proven wrong.
Judging by the trailer I already guessed the plot within the movie.
The story involves a pretty redundant and cliche formula that has a foreigner who embraces another's culture and learns to love it more than their own.
South Park poked at this and it was pretty much spot on.
We've seen this cycle with movies such as Dances with the Wolves, The Last Samurai, and Pocahantas but I suppose doing it with tribal aliens is a new concept that hasn't been done.
I came in the theater with no expectations so that way the hype wouldn't kill the mood for me and from start to finish the film grabbed me and reeled me in.
Avatar is probably one of the best films to come out in 2009. It definitely delivered and I do recommend this film to all.
You really have to watch the entire movie to appreciate the effects of the surroundings as well as the aliens.
Cameron puts a lot of emphasis on how everything is a life force.
You grow to like the aliens..at first I was still ehhhh but the leading lady became more and more attractive as the film went by. SMURF SEX!
Other than that I loved everything about the film: the music, the acting, the characters, the battle scenes, the effects, even the recyclable story.
If there's a movie to watch in theater before the year is over it is definitely Avatar.
Watching it in 3D was a bit of a downer though...some characters and objects randomly popping out was a bit distracting.
I think I'll probably watch it again in IMAX when I get the chance.
GO GO GO
OH! And how come this wasn't shown before Avatar?!?

Break life?
Dang what a b-boy filled weekend...and while I have to study for finals?!?! Ayaaaa! -___-
Saturday I went to the "Rock the Beach" jam; haven't entered a jam for a long while but my crew mates decided to go so I figure why not.
Haven't practiced since Monday because I was cramming for next week's finals so hopefully my body hadn't slowed down during that time.
Went with Tony, Gary, and Jon. It was just us four since everyone else was busy. It was a 5 on 5 competition but we just figured, fuck it haha.
Under questionable circumstances the judges voted against us in the Top 16.
I'm not mad because we were just being ourselves and we like taking chances.
Not gonna sweat certain peeps because they ain't worth my time.
All you do is run your mouth.
I still had a fun time. It was dope to see a lot of crews improving, especially some new crews. Many represented hard and I feel it doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you do your best.
Some people like to play it safe and just do the basics but I give much respect to those who actually make an effort to really execute more difficult moves.
I'll post the Top 16 battle when I get it.
And as for today!
The long awaited event, "He Got Game" finally came through. Everything went pretty smooth. It's just a weekly session but this time we organized a few match ups for people to see. No competition; just a nice jam with some local b-boys representing.
I was a judge for the high school battle and hosting the rest of the event.
Hosting is a pretty fun job but by the end of the night my throat was pretty sore haha.
Much respect to all the b-boys that battled today! Everyone represented and I had a great time watching.
We're going to try to make this an annual thing so be ready for the next one ;]
Other than that I still gotta study. Last week of school then Winter Break!!! ^_^
Hopefully I get some more practice time in and enter more events in the future.
But for now I'm gonna take my time to get better.
- SOME FOOTAGE - (More coming soon)
High School Exhibition Battle - Arcadia vs. Eagle Rock
A very dope battle showcasing some upcoming b-boys. I personally thought that both sides did extremely well and really represented. The battle never felt one sided because each side brought something hard. Judging this battle was tough but no doubt both sides really came with it. Much respect.
And we move over to the 1 on 1's that are currently posted.
Gary vs. Aaron.
Tony vs. Sung
Austin vs. Socheat
Ruben vs. Jet Li
Matt Tran vs. Robert
Jon vs. Aaron

HE GOT GAME?
YEAH FUCKING CUTE! O_O
Anyway. I am back once again reporting to you...from my room.
Bored..should be sleeping but hey who the hell does that anymore.
Car registration stickers still have not come...so far I've been hitching rides with my friends or my family. Causes a hassle and I hate asking for rides but how else will I get to work or school? The bus? Train? HELL NAH FOO!
This is one of the reasons why I hate the DMV...cause they always cause problems and take so friggin' long! I wanna punch em in the mouth!
How was everybody's Thanksgiving? Hope everyone had a good time ;] Eat lots of turkey and what not...now time to burn it all off... O_O
Ugh feeling the stress grow bigger...this and that. School, work, money, friggin' DMV; they all build up to give me a headache.
I think I drink too much soda..I needa cut back on that shit. Been addicted to that stuff since I was a kid. I did go on a long break from it but somewhere along the line I broke! My New Year's resolution was to hold off until February 2010...PSSSSSSSSHHHH yeah right, it's only December..imagine if I did hold off until now...that means I'd still be 2 months away from tasting that black liquid gold!!!
No! NOO! I'll cut back but not completely...every once and while should be okay ^_^
Overdraft fees are gay...FUCKING HATE OVERDRAFT FEES! I don't even have any money to stop them from adding that shit up. Fucking website charged the wrong card so now I got that shit on my shoulders. Uuuuuggghhhh.
Finals are coming up soon and this carless situation makes it hard to go to class since I always have to wonder how I'm going to get home from school.
Haven't driven my car since last Tuesday and it feels like forever. It's amazing how much money you save from gas though...hurry the fuck up DMV.
Re-injured my side once again on a Sunday practice. Everything was going well and I felt fine so I figure why not try my crickets again and BAM! Right after I felt the sting in my side and found it hard to breathe. I no longer am gonna do that move because no matter how much I heal or wait...even if I do 2 or 3 soft ones...the pain comes right back...So crickets you are officially retired.
Sucks how injuries can really limit your skills...yeah fuck injuries. Oh well plenty of other moves to pursue..gotta stay up!!!
I need a haircut...SOMEONE WANNA GIMME A HAIRCUT!?
So what's the real purpose behind this post? To vent about my feelings and current predicaments? Perhaps...NO.
THIS! My friends is the real reason behind my post! Behold with your very own eyes...the long awaited event..."HE GOT GAME!!!!"
So uh? Is it a jam or a BBQ? This is not a competition...that doesn't mean it's not a jam! A jam doesn't have to be a competition or whatever the fuck you "B-BOYS" do nowadays. This is an event mainly for the local scene and those that come to Yosemite Sunday sessions. It's pretty much gonna be the same thing but we're going to have a few organized battles for everyone's entertainment. Should be fun and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there :] Good luck to all b-boys!
There's open session and open call outs during the event. Hit me up if you have any questions..
Um!
BYE!
