Home Alone

This weekend was a lil bit depressing for me. First of, I am not really feeling good since Thursday and was hoping that it will just pass. At the same time, my mom informed me that afternoon when I get home from work that they won't be in town this weekend and she is going to Canada with my brother to visit relatives. I think my Aunt planned a trip to Kelowna for everybody or something. My dad on the other hand is going to spend the weekend with my Grandma to giver her comfort after losing her partner for so many years just this past week.

I must say it's probably karma for me. I'm the one who is always out of town and would just leave them most of the weekend. I have my own apartment but my parents live across the hall from me. Literally not even 3 steps away from my doorsteps. This might sound selfish but I was really looking forward just to be home this weekend and mostly spend time with mom (but she was gone). She works two jobs and the only time we get to see each other is when I get home from work and would say hi in time for her to leave for her 2nd job.

Whenever I don't feel good I would just cuddle up to their bed and she would be right there. We would normally both just take a long nap all day and I don't know how to explain it but that comforts me and makes me feel good. We would actually do that a lit in the winter time and my dad would take a picture of us just sleeping in their bed curled up in a warm blanket looking like each others replica.

I'll repeat myself by saying I'm being selfish coz I needed her here this weekend. I might have had couple of things to do and go to this weekend but in the daytime I really wanted her to be there. I was fixing myself food and eating by myself which was pretty pathetic. I hate eating on an empty dining table. Maybe if she fixed me a bowl of soup that would cure this stupid coughing and allergies.

But then again, I can't be selfish. I've told my mom a hundred of times that this is her moment to see a lot of places and make time for herself. She has been working so hard since we moved here and she deserves it. But one thing is for sure, I'll make sure to get her to make me my bowl of soup coz I know that's will make me feel better.

Miss yah this weekend Mom! Hope u had a blast.

Is summer officially over?

Not like the past few weeks, our morning in Seattle today is different. Is summer over already? Coz it sure does looks like it's fall.

Pretty nice to have a break with all the heat though. I'm thinking, a long nap after work.

Mr. & Ms. Asian Pacific Islander Official Ad

After weeks of waiting and itching of posting some pics, the official ad of Mr. & Ms. Asian Pacific Islander is out.

I think the last pageant was in 2006. The API Council decided to resurrect and recap the pageant and this year is gonna be big. I think it's about time that the Asian Pacific Islanders will e back in the LGBT map of Seattle. I can't wait.

The pageant will be at Neighbours nightclub. One of the pioneer clubs in Seattle on September 25.

My neighbor at 420

i had to go back and take a pic of his door
(i have no clue who lives there btw)

I just got home from work today and just couldn't wait to just lay down and rest up.

At times, I would go home and walk thru our hallway and would just smell Marijuana all I've the hallway.

I never knew where it was coming from and I lived here for 7 1/2 years and today I walked the same hallways and saw room 420's door open. And DAMN!!! I think I got high just passing by.

Room 420, how appropriate for my neighbor.

API Legends Photoshoot

photo taken by Nack
dressing room shot

Couple of weeks ago, I got an email from the Asian Pacific Islander (API) Council asking if I can participate in a photoshoot together with the fiercest legends of API. I immediately checked out my schedule which worked out just fine.

I haven't seen this girls in the same room in couple of years since I haven't been really active with he LGBT pageant scene. I used to attend ton of functions but later on I concentrated more on volleyball.

I'm glad I was able to do this. It was so much fun to he with the girls again. A lil bit of reminiscing and laughs. Tons of make up, wigs, dresses and fabulousness and we are good to go to be on set.

Here are some backstage pass pictures. I won't be able to post pics from the set yet, at least not until the official ad comes out. And I'll for sure make another post when it cones out. I'm so excited!

Here's a teaser of the inspiration of the while set and feel of the photoshoot.



We did two concepts copying from the covers of Vogue Magazine.

Both concepts was FIERCE. But I think everybody's favorite was the black outfit concept including my personal choice.

Thanks to JJcariaso.com who took the photos together with his classmates who helped out with the shoot.

Special thanks to Gaysha Starr for letting me borrow some dresses and even took time on dropping it off at my place. And to the whole API Council for putting this together and allowing me to be a part of the API Legends.

And thanks to the ladies that participated. Y'all are FIERCE and brought the GLAM on set!

Can't wait for the coronation night!

In need of ME time

Once in awhile I come to a phase that I just wanna be alone, a day that i can be evaluate, a time to be away from my normal routine, a time for me.

I know a lot of people probably does this and mine is no different. I love my family and friends so much that sometimes I just forget about myself. As much as I can, I want to be around friends, they keep me sane, ok probably sometimes insane. I love the smiles, the laughs ad just plain hanging out time. Talking stories for hours and mostly just reminiscing some days.

I spend so much time with friends that sometimes I forget that I can only do so much. If only I can cut my body into pieces so I can make sure I spend quality time with everybody. I am no superhero and cannot be. ButIf there's a superhero for friends I wanna be one. Haha!

I spend my me time in different ways. It can be a day of pampering in a salon getting my hair done and get my mani and pedi. Be girly! It can be going out of town just to see friends that I can barely hang out with because of distance (yes I know that can't be me time, but in a weird way it counts for me). I can take a walk in a park by myself or in the waterfront and find my own space. And my all time favorite, just locking myself in my room, staying in bed and watch DVDs all day and ignore all phone calls and text messages or I at least try to.

Nothing bad is going in my life really. As I lay down tonight, tossing and turning, it just came to my mind that I need a me time. Make myself miss my friends for a day and come back and give them big hugs and do everything all over again.

You? How do you spend your "me time?"

Cazwell "Ice Cream Truck"

Its Blowing up the Internet including facebook and YouTube, a music video called "Ice Cream Truck" by Cazwell... I have to admit, I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics of the song coz i was easily distracted by the visuals. But damn these boys are HOT HOT HOT!



via cazwell website


Cazwell is a real NYC artist as his site say quoting "Few new artists embody the spirit of downtown NYC more completely than Cazwell. A leading figure in the renaissance of New York City nightlife that has taken place over the last five years, Cazwell’s music—a ridiculously fun mix of electrified dance music and old school hip hop—is the perfect example of the new spirit of pop music. Says Caz, “When people ask me how to describe my style sometimes I say ‘Just imagine if Biggie Smalls ate Donna Summer for breakfast.’”

So with the 2 minutes and 18 seconds of eye candy, I couldnt hesitate to notice one particular guy (dont deny it, you know you had your favorite/s as well). I mean Cazwell is really cute but HEY BOO!!! LMAO!!!

Well, if you havent seen the video (doubt it), check out the video below. ENJOY!!!




Curious about who he is? Go to his website http://www.caldwell.com/ and tell me who is your favorite "Ice Cream Truck" dancer?
