Five years ago I asked Carrie, “what the hell are we doing?” It’s been great answering that question and we’re still not done answering that question. Happy Anniversary! I love you.

Five Years
Oct 14
Carrie and I went to Maui a couple of weeks ago. What a relaxing time. We are now both spoiled and cannot stay anywhere else but the Four Seasons. We also loved zip lining through the forest and Caneoing. Averaging twelve hours of sleep was also great! Cannot wait to go back!
Thank You! Thank You!

I’d like to thank everyone who made my birthday special this year. I thought it was going to be small and quaint but it ended up being a three week ordeal! I am even celebrating it this Saturday with some old friends. Let the festivities continue. Oh, I can’t wait for LA Decompression too!
Getting Flirty with Thirty
Sep 26
As I become the ripe age of twenty nine I’ve learned a lot this year. I am also thankful for a lot of things. There are also things I want to do this year and I need remind myself I should do them. Here goes nothing:
-Hike Half Dome
-Backpacking through the Rockies
-White Water Rafting
-Snowboarding (Giving it a good try this time)
-Surf
-Scuba Dive
-Travel through Costa Rica
-Learn more Filipino recipes from my parents
-Lose 20lbs…yes!
-Finish The Ender Wiggin Saga
-Shoot More. Concentrate on my own Art Portfolio
-Camp at least four times this year.
-Put together a theme camp for Burning Man.
I think it’s still a small list but it’s manageable for me.
Back In Action
Sep 25
I told myself I wouldn’t blog anymore but reading other people’s blogs it made me just want to write more. Go figure. Carrie and I just got back from an amazing vacation. It was very relaxing and I am glad we went. Will blog more about it later. I need to install some plugins to get this thing running again. Until next time.
Last Saturday Adam, Carrie and I got in our rented Chevy Impala and headed to SF. We didn’t head straight there though. We stopped in Santa Maria to pick up Ellie who is doing her externship there. Poor Jelly! The cool thing was though we got to have lunch in Pismo Beach at the Cracked Crab. We all shared a bucket of crab and it was delicious.
We got back on the road and found out that Chinese women are narcoleptic as Carrie and Ellie were proof of that. Adam and saw some crazy card board cutouts in Salinas. Very crazy. The 101 is a beautiful drive and I think it’s worth the time to see the farmland and California Coast. I did however take this awesome picture of Ellie.
We get to SF and Cody’s first words to us were, “Why is Manny sober?” We remedied that by going straight to Docs Clock right before dinner. The drinks there are stiff. I loved it. We put away two each and then went to Spork for dinner where Angela and Andy met us. If you decide to eat dinner there I recommend the Tasty Steak with a red wine. The dessert was excellent as well, mmmmmm Pot Brownie. Dinner was long. Very long. We went through multiple glasses of wine and even a dessert wine.
After dinner we went to Shotwells for more wine and beer. At this time I was getting tired and still was putting beer away while playing some pinball. It was great catching up with everyone. I think people were getting tired so we went back to CodJelly’s to hang out.
The next morning I got up early for some reason and just chilled in the living while everyone else was sleeping. SF is so beautiful in the morning. I swear I could end up living there. After everyone got up we chilled on the couch. CodJelly went on a walk and got some coffee, they also brought back cookies. They didn’t bring back regular cookies. They brought back Anthony’s Cookies. These cookies are the best cookies evar. I am serious. You must try these cookies. I order to you. Stop flying and go to SF. NAO.
We finally got our lazy arses out of the apartment and met Andy at Foreign Cinema. I probably had the best brunch of my entire life here. Everything was good. Everything. At one point I think no one was talking to each other because we were too busy enjoying our meal. I fell into a food coma after to the point where I couldn’t even think clearly.
Carrie made room for more cookies so we went back Anthony’s where Dadzitis and Keiko met us up. Dadzitis claims he is going to kill me at Burning Man. I think he will. Desert and alcohol? I might need to make sure I drink water all the time. Anyhoo we picked up more cookies and headed home.
We made a stop in Santa Cruz and walked around for a bit. Dropped of Jelly then headed straight home. I seriously hate renting cars. There is a side story that I don’t want to go into when Adam and I went to go pick up there. Ugh. They also gave us a shitty car. That thing got us there but the Impala is a piece of shit. Way to go Chevy engineers. Anyhoo, it was a great weekend. And as Luda said…”Damn right we’re gonna do it again!”
The Headline is Right
May 8
I have updated my headline on my site. That’s right folks no more WoW. No more raiding. I am done. Done making raid times. Done grinding rep. Done going for achievements. It’s over. It’s to the point where I don’t have access to my priest anymore.
Why the change? Well there are a lot of things this year I want to accomplish and I won’t be able to get those things done if I am conforming to a raid time three or four times a week. I need to get my body back into shape for Burning Man and Hawaii. I also have some side projects going on that need my attention and will need more of my attention as they progress. I also want to get back into my photography. My photography skillset have sort of deteriorated so I need to get back on the ball with it. Lastly, I want to spend more times outdoors and with friends. I live near the beach with so much freedom. I need to take advantage of it more.
So there you go. Hopefully it will be a fun ride.
One Drug for Another
Mar 10
For some reason Adam won’t play World of Warcraft with me so I convinced him to play Warhammer Online: Age of Reckining and he agreed. Not only did I convince him, I convinced Carrie to play. 
So we’ll see how our trio does. By the time we installed it tonight the servers were down for maintence and will be down until 5pm. I think it’s because of the new event that will be going on. Hit me up if you want in on this action…lol.
Happy Birthday!
