what i'll be missing while in europe...

so i'll be soon off to my "belgium - france - spain" trip... and i figured vancouver will just be sleepy boring while i'm gone in august. then i got a newsletter from tigerstone entertainment.
grrr... if only i bothered mastering being in two places at once instead of practicing piano!!

...

... i know i shouldn't complain... these guys would most likely come around again (well, at least killa kela and kid capri... i dunno bout mr. spike lee tho... that might be a bit more rare). at least i'm gonna be cultured by the time i get back from europe. *sigh* maybe there'll be a super fun old school party at the heritage hall waiting for me when i get back!... *hint hint*

second the BEST!

we're RGL... Ridiculously Good Looking!!!

what i did this weekend? well, my team and i won silver in the competitive c division of the alcan dragonboat festival. it wasn't easy... but, you know... ain't no thing.

hehehe... i LOVE my team. we're such GOOD winners!!

bring it on back, 50!

remember when 50 cent...

flowed to the tequila song of peewee herman?
meowed on a track?
made weekly mixtapes?

where are you, old school 50? you were once an artist i respected for your fresh style and ghetto love songs (ie. porno star). now all you do is imitate the old ja rule. to add to your earned "infamous" reputation, you also signed such talent as beanie sigel, m.o.p. and of course mobb deep and made them all sound like candy shop (OR magic stick, depending on which one you like less).

and yet i held on strong... trying to support you as a fan... "oh, he's just going through a phase. his NEXT album will be for the streets (ex. his first album)."

the tipping point came today, when i found out he's about to sign next... and cut the diss track from R.L. to 112 AND jagged edge.

why fifty? why?...

G-G-G-u-r-SO-NOT!!!

(but i AM impatiently waiting lloyd banks' new album)

will the real lloyd banks...

...is this him?...

... please stand up?

... or him?...

(i know, old joke... but it's still SOOO good!!)

what?...

what the hell's goin on with my blog?...
grr. i give up.

okay so it's working properly now. i swear yesterday the font size was "huge" and it wouldn't change back to "normal"... i kid you not, that's how they state font size.

"skit#2" a.k.a. "the story of my life!"

i'm not complaining, i'm just saying.
sometimes it feels this way cuz there are people out there who want to "live the life", and yet they make choices for the group without taking into consideration that they are just as broke as you are! it's great to dream like we're superstars, but who's gonna pay our way?... no, i don't see any takers...

We broke, broke broke phi broke
(We ain't got it)
Broke, broke, broke phi broke
(We ain't got it)
Don't spend no money
Ain't got no clothes
Ain't got no cars
Ain't got no hos
We broke, broke, broke phi broke
(We ain't got it)
Broke, broke, broke phi broke
(We ain't got it)
Got no money (got no money)
We got no clothes (got no clothes)
Ain't got no cars (got no cars)
Can't get no hos
We broke, broke, broke, broke, broke
Buncha niggas
Broke, broke, broke, broke, broke!

(-KANYE WEST)

you know what i hate?...

staring at an empty mix meister pro 5 playlist page.

i'm in dire need of a playlist. summer's almost here and i've got nothing.

i need fresh new songs...

you know you're old when...

so i have a friend who is going to be working promotions for pokemon's ten year anniversary. imagine all the "mm-hoy-hoys" that will be there! it'll be at a mall even!!! this is so exciting for someone NOT me.

i hope he dresses up like pikachu!

my coach is the bomb

darwin is my dragonboat coach. he doesn't drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs. he can't dance very well (YET!) but he's always open to learn a new move. he has a great sense of humour and a keen sense of leadership that totally shows on and off the boat. and his wife is super cool.

i just felt like giving them a shout out.

svs : aka sexy vs sexy!! ;o)

this is how hot we looked on friday night! to see our actual dance routine, click here!

oh my ankles!

tuesday, i was cast as an "asian dancing extra" for the film rogue being shot here in vancouver. if you've ever been an extra in ANY film before, you know that the pay is weak, the p.a.'s treat you like cattle, and every time you're not in a scene, you're bored. but i must say that despite all that, i found it sort of exciting. we just had to be in a nightclub scene so really, it's not like it was too hard to get into character. and i guess it helped that i was there with a bunch of friends... made the scene more convincing. anyways, the only complaint i had was that i was dancing in a red dress with 3 inch heels on. don't get me wrong, wardrobe did a fabulous job (makeup almost made me look like a car model tho!), but for you all who know me, i'm not the "heels and dress" type, particularly when i'm going to a club. but lo and behold, if you happen to watch the film when it comes out, i'm the girl in the red dress at the club ;op

oh yes, how could i forget to mention the real stars? when jet li is walking through the club, he brushes by me (i'm about to have a shooter at the bar). the first time that happened, i was so surprised... but i totally could've just died a happy woman right there and then! jet li touched me!! ME!!! i am such a dork! and another time when jason statham enters the club, i'm exiting past him. he was so friendly. he even talked to me but all i could do was smile and nod. i've got a bad case of retarded, i know. but maybe mr. statham likes retards... yeah, right.

i wonder what my name would say in the credits?... "retarded asian dancing extra"

hahaha!

it sounds dorky but...

blogging is not at the top of my list of things i have to do.
(please refer to the february 24th, 2006 entry: "am i so bad?")

...

but since i'm here, i would like to ask anyone reading this if they know how to get a return flight out to brussels on the 7th of august to at least the 18th for less than $1700CAD. that's how much i'll have to scrounge up to get to dance with kp in belgium. i'll do my share of fundraising, but if i don't somehow get that cash by 30 days before the departure date, i'll be here all august, folks!

if you're free on april 7th...

woohoo! lookit me!! come out and watch me dance!! tell your friends!! then tell me, so i can hook you up with tickets ;o)

so yeah, this is basically the group of girls i've been dancing with every week for the last year or so. i am so proud that we dance well. seriously, we're good. absolutely NO "elaines" or "carltons" here. thanks lynn and lei... ;o)

now if you see me dance with kababayang pilipino, i'm definitely not up to par with that group. for real, that stuff is challenging to engrain into your system. i'm definitely the "elaine" of kp.

this one's for you. you know who you are.

(he really is quite intimidating.)

how can you have a bad morning/afternoon/evening after seeing good ol' chuck?.. his last name is " norris" and his first name is "chuck"!

spring break in full effect!

i had nothing planned for this week.
so far, this is what i've been up to in the last hour:
trying to make a ringtone for my phone.
msn-ing with my twin sis.
listening to my lil sis clean her room to rave music.
transcribing my dance routines onto paper.
thinkin bout my best friend.

am i so bad?

it's not that i'm typically lethargic or lazy. i just don't feel motivated to do anything anymore.
i think i'm just down.
lately i've caught myself saying "i need some time to myself... right after i finish..." a lot.
seriously, if god put me on this earth to accomplish things, at this rate, i'll never die.

things i wanna be thinking about:
- dancing and music.
- arnis and kung fu.
- dragon boat (can you believe i've been so busy that i missed TWO whole meetings already?!! i wonder if they're already deciding to cut me :o(.... noooo!).
- getting back into school.
- cleaning my room.
- blogging!

things that are preventing me to think about the previous list:
- work.
- relationships (with everyone around me).
- previous engagements that i can't get out of but i really want to.

although the second list is shorter, it does cover more area.

i think my emotions are best described by a certain comic strip character who never seems to have a good day. it goes something like this:

*ARRGH!!*

on the corner of georgia and howe

that bear is always there offering his fish! how can you say no?

don't you hate it when you feel sooo overwhelmed you're not even sure what you gotta get done?.. yeah, i'm not super overwhelmed, but i've got things to do and they just keep on piling up... i feel like i'm gonna forget something. i honestly can't see farther than this friday. maybe i'm tired. i went for acupuncture today and i think i'm still too relaxed from it all.

and here i am, just bloggin.
