Eness vs. Iron Solomon
Been a while since I've seen a good battle...and by battle I mean Iron Solomon killin' it.
Solomon demonstrates it takes more than rhyming words to be a good battler.

30 - One last moment
Heh this was pretty fun.
Gave me something to write about and kept my blogging more consistent..
Perhaps I'll do another one with different subjects to write about.
Besides that maybe I should post more about my daily adventures that I encounter.
Needa carry my camera around more to make my blogs more interesting with cool pictures and videos ^_^
Anyway..as for one last moment?
And it's gone.

29 - your aspirations.
Ensure a stable living within the future while still pursuing my passions and hobbies.

28 - something you miss.
The early days of when I first started learning how to break.
My friends and I would have weekly sessions at my homie's house.
It was tough because we didn't have anyone to teach us the fundamentals or foundation of B-boyin'.
Keep in mind this was before youtube came around and only a few sites had some vids up. This is the era when B-boyin' was underground.
We mainly found our inspiration through our own creativity as well as each other.
We did manage to find a few videos here and there.
I remember watching a lot of BOTY clips that included Expression and many French crews.
My friend also had a B-boy tutorial tape...it didn't really help us much but we worked with what we had.
Movies were also a big motivation for us.
I remember as a kid, I'd watch my cousin try to learn how to break and we'd watch films such as, "Beat Street", "Flashdance", and so forth.
I think the lack of resources helped me dig deep into my own creativity but it did make me lack the basics of Breakin'.
I didn't learn windmills until a year or two after I started dancing but it didn't really matter to me because I was more focused on creating something original and different than something that's already been done.
Nowadays I see there's a reversal of resources.
Now there's countless videos on the internet, many open session spots, workshops/seminars, jams, TV shows, and on and on. I think kids are spoiled with all this exposure because they have so many resources to turn to.
It's dope but I do see a lack of creativity within the new generation.
Don't be scared to do you.
Anyway this goes out to my original crew back in the day.

27 - Your favorite place
Any place where I'm allowed to express my mind and soul to the beat of a break.
A place where I can just chill with my friends or family comfortably.
But above all, my most favorite place would have to be my home.

26 - your fears.
Black people and spiders.
Hahahaha I kid, I kid.
Hmmmmmm my fears?
I've always had a fear of heights, I'm actually still scared to go on rollercoasters still..
But I think my biggest fear is becoming something I despise.

Zombie Dream
I had dream about zombies and it was so cool.
It was dope because it felt so real and actually made sense!
Pretty much, the world has been overrun by zombies for some time now and I remember I was a prisoner or arrested for something and taken to an abandoned infected city.
I was transported with other "prisoners"...not sure why we were taken..something about taxes or something hahaha.
But anyway! The head honcho guy told us that we were all going to be given an opportunity to get our freedom back. We have to escape the city by any means necessary, using vehicles, weapons, and so on and the last one standing would get evacuated and a million dollars. Battle Royale much?
So we were left inside a skyscraper and set free to make our escape.
I had a shotgun...not sure how I got it but I was running through the building trying to get to the lower levels. Another prisoner suddenly attacks me because he wanted my weapon but I fight him off and make a run for it with him still on my trail.
I suddenly see one of the infected taking a run at me...I guess these were running zombies -_-
I take shot with my shotgun but the zombie continues running...I take another shot but she's still coming my way...I guess I wasn't aiming right.
She lunges at me but I dodge just in time and she ends up attacking the prisoner who attacked me.
I continue on, making my way down the stairs and encounter more zombies.
Instead of shooting them I use the butt of my shotgun and whack them across their heads since I can't aim right anyway. This method seemed to be more efficient since they were going down permanently.
I see more coming after me and I finally make it to the lowest level where I see a group of survivors waiting in the lobby.
They spot me and one of them tell me to duck.
I duck just in time and he sprays his assault rifle at the horde behind me.
I guess these survivors were good guys..
It was a black guy, a woman, another dude, and an Asian couple.
The black guy reminded me of Ving Rhames...
He told me to aim at their chests instead of their head because when you shoot, the kick of the blast pushes the gun up...not sure if that's true or not but it made sense in the dream!
Anyway we all make our way outside where there were a few parked cars outside.
I'm guessing the white dude was a car thief because he broke into a car and pulled up in a Prius.. haha I don't know.
Anyway we all make our way inside the car and exit the building into the city of the dead..
Then I woke up.

25 - a first.
The first time I ever snuck into a girl's house was pretty exciting but terrifying when we almost got caught because her mom came home early from work.
Things were going good but then we heard the jingle of her keys penetrate the door knob and this girl sprung up like a ninja and got dressed as fast as she could.
She turned on the radio to block out any noises we could make while trying to plan an escape route.
She dashes over to the window and sees a plastic cover stapled into the frame.
With all her might, she rips the plastic off and slides the window open.
She pushes me through and goes to talk to her mama from coming into the room.
She must have planned this or something because she did this all within like a minute.
My heart was still pounding even when I was out and away. Scary moments.
My shoes weren't even all the way on and I kept thinking I forgot stuff in there.
But a clean getaway it was.
Besides that I've had a lot of other firsts...
2nd and 3rds.

24 - Something that makes you cry
I don't know what makes me cry.
Sad and tragic things can make me cry.
I believe the hardest I've ever cried was when I was 16 years old and I found out my little cousin and two aunts passed away in a fire.
I was so sad because there was other bad things going on in that month as well and with all that added up, I just couldn't take it anymore.
So tragic incidents such as that can bring a tear to my eye.

Blogger Alter Egos
It's funny how you know the happiest, most joyous people out there...but then you go on their blog and they're like a completely different person with way too many skeletons in their closet..
Why is it they say the most personal things on the internet where everyone can see instead of saying it to the person it was meant for?
I ponder but my mind does not speak.

22 - Something that upsets you
Something that upsets me...
To be honest a lot of things can upset me.
I suppose the number one thing on my upset list would be people who take things for granted in life.
Rich, snobby people who never have to work for something they want.
They are simply just given it.
And when it comes to that, they still have the nerve to bitch and complain about the smallest detail.
"I wanted a 2011 BMW blah blah but I only got a 2010! WAAAAAH"
"My parents wouldn't give me $300 to buy some Evisu jeans! T________T"
And yes folks, there are people I know who say this shit.
I'm not saying I'm the most perfect human being because I myself give into materialism as well...not as bad as other people I know but honestly people should be grateful for the simple things in life.

21 - Another moment
Another moment?
Let's take a moment then.
Close your eyes and slowly breathe in and out through your nose.
Empty your mind and just relax.
Feel better?

20 - This month
This month so far has been pretty chill.
It's September but I've just been sticking to the usual grind between school, work, and practice.
I've been hanging out with my homies from high school more often which is cool because I haven't seen them in a long while.
Recently went camping over the weekend, it was dope to get away from the city and enjoy the wonders of nature. Hope to go again soon.
Been trying to keep up with practice but at times it gets hard to work it into your schedule but as a b-boy I gotta find the time and sacrifice to get a session in.
Starting to get back into training in martial arts again...took a long break after my knee injury but now that I'm healing, I'm beginning to train more.
School is the same...honestly I really want to just finish up already but I'm lagging just because it's getting very repetitive and boring, just modeling teeth and what not but still pushing through with it.
Work is also the same as well but I'm enjoying it. I'm still learning and shall always consider myself a student first before a teacher.
Besides that, I'm trying to just keep my free time into doing something positive or productive but there are days where I just wanna chill and keep to myself and other days where I just hangout with my friends and go on a random adventure.
Busy is good.
and this month ain't even over yet!

19 - Something you regret
I try to live a life with no regrets...each choice I make is something I must stand by even if I end up paying for it in the end.
Each mistake, solution, choice leads you to develop your character and learn more about life.
We learn from our mistakes and we should never regret a choice we make because it is up to us to live by our decisions.
It may work out for us and it may make things worse; the point is you can't waste time regretting the decision you made.
Instead invest your time and energy into how you can make things better by not repeating your decisions that made things go sour.

18 - Your favorite birthday
I've always had a certain tradition growing up when I had my birthdays.
I'd have a kickback at my place, BBQ in the back along with a bounce house to let our immature child break out and also have people just chill inside the house whether it was just playing games or hanging.
Every year was memorable because my friends would just come, hangout and have a good time.
I believe my 17th birthday was among my favorites just because I remember a lot of my friends coming over, random breakdancing madness, bounce house UFC fights, females, Korean BBQ?!?, and so forth and so on.
My 20th birthday was fun as well just cause it was my first time going to the shooting range so it was a new experience for me ^_^
Good times I'll always miss but that don't mean my birthdays suck now ;]
Hope to plan something nice this year :]

CAMPING!
So this past weekend I went on a camping trip to the Cleveland National Forest near San Diego with Tam, Matt, Chris, Corey, and Angela.
I haven't been camping in ages so I was quite excited when I heard about it.
Overall the trip was pretty fun but it just felt like it went by really fast!
The first day started a bit rocky...some people lagged and we had to stop by here and there which delayed our arrival to the campsite.
We arrived at the site around 8ish - 9pm when we were supposed to get there at 5 but s'all good. We set up our tents and started a fire then went to sleep.
The next day, I awoke to the blazing sun beating down on us in our tent.
We ate breakfast and got ready to go fishing in Lake Cumacaya?! I forgot but something along those lines.
We pretty much just spent the whole day fishing but I caught two of them fishies!
And I ate him!...I ate his lil face! and I ate his little wagging tail...
I also ate the little mess he made on the floor...YOU HEARD ME! ... (Simpsons reference >_>)
Got a really bad sunburn on my back and neck...it hurts like FIYAH!!!
Anyway, got back and started up another fire and pretty much just ate a lot of food and sweets and sat around the fire, talking about life and love to the sounds of acoustic guitars.
It was a pretty tiring day so we knocked out pretty late.
Sunday was already here so I woke up again around 8am and got to eating breakfast.
Matt and I wanted to go hiking but there were no trails nearby...we either had to drive to them or pay to hike...so I was disappointed we didn't get to cross that activity off my list :[
We started packing up all our things and we dropped off Angela then Matt and headed back to the hood.
Overall it was dope to just get away from the city and enjoy the outdoor wonders of nature. I've always enjoyed camping ever since I was a kid so it was dope to go again.
Perhaps we'll plan another camping trip soon...hopefully more efficient but this trip went pretty well. I'm thinking Yosemite...that place is epic.
It did feel like it went by really fast...so hopefully we'll plan another day or get to the campsite earlier to do more things because we only had one full day of camping and we mainly spent it just fishing in the lake.
So hopefully next time I'll include some hiking in the trip...but that was pretty much my weekend!
Now back to the grind.
Some pics from fishing.
Matt is the only one wearing his life vest.
Ayayaya Miss Saigon..
We all caught at least one fish!
Except Corey..
HOORAY!

17 - Your favorite memory
I have too many favorite memories from just being a kid and playing with the other kids on my block. Riding our bikes and causing trouble, hollering at chicks too stuck up to even notice our presence of awesomeness!
To when I first started getting into Breakin' and my friends and I would have weekly sessions in my homie's garage then chill somewhere after, causing ruckus and hollering at chicks too stuck up to even notice our presence of awesomeness!!
Sharing special moments with those special someones back then even though at first they were too stuck up to notice my presence of awesomeness!!!
That girl I tried to holler at last night but she was too stuck up to notice my presence of awesomeness!!!!
All them times..

16 - your first kiss.
My first kiss was when I was about 15 years old.
It was with my first girlfriend in the summer of 04...at that time we weren't in a relationship...just dating and hanging out and what not.
One day we decided to go on an adventure around town and ended up hanging out at her old elementary school.
We were sitting on the steps of one of the buildings and having a casual conversation and she gave me a small peck on the cheek ^____^
I pecked her back on the cheeky...and I contemplated for a moment if I should go in for the kill....THE LIPS!?!
I came in, eyes closed and all I remember was a lot of wetness and what not.
It was quite the experience being that I had no experience...and felt like a noob >_<
I was a little embarrassed because I honestly didn't know what I was doing but I just rolled with it and let the butterflies swirl in my stomach.
When I went home, I was happy but surprised: 1. being that I finally got to kiss a girl! 2. That, that girl turned out to be that girl...really random now that I think of it because I would have never pictured myself dating her.. and 3. I thought I was ugly and no one would want to kiss me.
And there you have it...my first kiss.

13. This past week
This past week was very exhausting that consisted of a lot of school, work, teaching, practice, eating, and all other types of ill shit.
Every morning to the evening was about the same: school and then headed over to work.
I actually started training in martial arts again; I took a long break after my knee injury but now that it's pretty much healed *knocks on wood* I think I'm ready to get back into it.
Hung out with some old friends from high school which is something I haven't done in a long while so it was dope to see them and catch up on old times.
Hit up practice...not as much as I wanted to but when I went I practiced hard...because I was sweating a lot...so yeah >_>
Anyway! Met some new friends! Soooooo dreeeeeeeamy T____T
And last night I went to an 80's club...first time I've been although no one was even dressed 80's!!! They played boring 80's music..I wanted some Michael Jackson or some Prince man! NEEDA GET DOWN TO THAT! But it was cool.
Open bar and congrats to us being the only Asians in the spot! Good times ^_^
Then ate at JJ's after...fuckin' crowded...congrats to us being one of the Asian groups in the spot! I guess JJ is more popular since that song came out about Monterey Park with the guys who can't rap, rap about JJ's..
Then headed home and knocked the fuck out.
Woke up and HAPPY LABOR DAY TO ALL!!! I'm so glad I don't have school or work today...needed a break to just relax and do my thing.
Family BBQ for the nguyen and hopefully hit up a sesh later on tonight. LET'S GET PRODUCTIVE! LET'S GET CREATIVE!
Every morning to the evening was about the same: school and then headed over to work.
I actually started training in martial arts again; I took a long break after my knee injury but now that it's pretty much healed *knocks on wood* I think I'm ready to get back into it.
Hung out with some old friends from high school which is something I haven't done in a long while so it was dope to see them and catch up on old times.

12. What's in your bag?
What's in my bag?
That's kinda lame BUT whatever I said I'd do these things so I guess I better get crackin'.
Ummmm I have two bags: One for school and the other for B-boyin'
My school bag is filled with text books, notebooks, pens, pencils, and all other types of ill shit.
My B-boy bag is filled with deodorant, a towel, water bottle, elbow pad, knee brace, usually a clean t-shirt so I can change after practice, a beanie, and a bandanna.
Yeah.
I don't know why people would actually read this post because it's pretty trivial but whatever!

11 - what you ate today.
I was a bum today because all I ate was cereal in the morning...Cinnamon Toast Crunch to be exact and went to JJ's after session and ate soup with rice...and a little bit of my friend's steak.
THAT IS HOW YOU SURVIVE MY YOUNG FRIENDS!

9. - Your Beliefs
This is going to be an interesting and pretty unsure post.
I grew up a Christian; I was baptized as a Methodist when I was about 5 years old and my mother took my sisters and I to church every Sunday growing up.
So I was raised to believe in God, Jesus, and so forth.
The sermons were hard for me to understand because the pastor delivered them in Spanish! Haha
But anyway as I got older I stopped attending church, not because I hated it but because I suppose I just lost an interest in going.
I studied other philosophies and religions in class, reading books, and just meeting new people and I feel I've grown to become an agnostic. I feel that I cannot stick to one set of ideals because I do not want to stay limited to one thing.
When it comes to many things, I am a very neutral person who cannot pick one side.
I am not the type to talk bad of anything just because it is different.
I respect all other forms of religion and beliefs and judge a person based solely upon their own personality.
So if a Christian person is spewing hatred towards Jews, I don't judge a whole religion based on this one person's actions because he does not represent the whole Christian community.
And this goes for any other religion...unless one religion does spew hatred for one another then I may sway the other way >_> BUT! In general, I try not to judge.
Yes, there are many differences between religions but just because something is different doesn't make it wrong.
I have Atheists as friends who have their own set of beliefs and I respect them as well.
I mainly like to keep to myself because I honestly don't have a strong opinion about beliefs. I respect all opinions as long as they're delivered in a logical and legitimate way.
If you're just a close-minded individual who automatically neglects all new forms of ideas or beliefs then I won't bother wasting a minute on listening to you.
This goes to all things I do in life.
When b-boys speak of other dances such as Hip Hop choreography or Jerkin' or something as whack and not real dancing then I think they just don't understand.
Many people think B-boys are just a bunch of tricksters who just spin around on the floor but there is an essence to it. People just need to understand it so I try to take the time to understand their craft.
There is no perfect religion, race, philosophy, dance, martial art, this or that...everything is different and has its own beauty to it; a person just has to find the true essence of what it represents.
In a nutshell:
"I'm not better than you, I just think different."

8 - A moment
Are the countless hours of sacrifice, pain, practice, sweat, and exhaustion worth a moment of glory?
