Rest In Peace, The King of Pop

Orginal Gangsta


Thriller - Michael Jackson
One of the favorites...

Legends never die though. His influence to music and dance is beyond words. I don't know about you, but whenever I hear a MJ song, I always smile and want to dance...

Japan/Korea/Thailand/Taiwan

...the possibilities

Filipino Usher???

FOCUSED MINDSET

gotta get my grown man on...

The thought of being content makes me feel apprehensive. I feel like I'm back to square one. I'm back on the job hunt despite working the past 6 months. The school year is now over, so I don't have any more students to tutor. The Census Bureau gig only lasted a few months (we finished the work faster than expected). Back on the hunt. Looking for a job is a full-time job. Things are starting to become very routine now. I try not to have this feeling of being content. Content with how my current situation is. Content on staying home and trying to find a job. Content on jHust living in Sac. I've had to constantly remind myself that this is all only temporary. It's just hard to do so at times though. The comfort of living here at home, with my family, having my financial situation somewhat steady, etc. I need to stay motivated. I look for things to keep me motivated, but I can't seem to find it. It comes very rare these days. As of lately, it's been speaking with my friends that's kept me motivated. I don't speak to them much, but when we do, it's simply satisfying. I leave feeling refreshed with a new sense of perserverance. Keep on truckin'. Don't be content. Continue to stay motivated and make the moves necessary to advance closer to my goals...

I contacted AEON on Friday afternoon asking what the status was with my position. The recruiter pretty much gave me the same info as last time. There are less openings now because of the economy, and a lot of the current teachers are renewing their contracts. For the month of November, he said that they only had 5 openings left, and that they were already offered to other people on the wait list. 5 openings to where he says there are usually 35-40 openings during that time. Im still optimisitc and positive. He did appreciate the fact that I called him to double check the status. He says it shows that it is something I still want to do. Every little thing I can do to help me get closer to that goal, right? Yeaaa buddy...

New York
I went to New York last week to visit my Ate Irene and Kuya Ren. They had just moved out there in February, shortly after getting married. My first trip there and I can honestly say that the east coast isn't too bad. Despite the humidity, there was so much to see/do in the city. I keep telling people that NY is SF on crack! I was able to see my friend Ali. I haven't seen this lady in a few years. I'm happy that we have one of those relationships, where despite us not really keeping in contact with each other, when we do kick it, it's as if we were hanging out the day before. I was able to kick it w/ Sneh, Hana, as well as Diana during my short stay in the city. It was also nice to see those ladies as well. My trip to NY also consisted of a day trip to DC to go sightseeing. There is so much history. The guy doing the narrating on the bus was very informative. I learned a lot in the five hours I saw DC.

Chillin on a Sunday night, bored. Figured I'd just start typing and this is what i've got so far. Thank you to those who continue to keep me motivated, optimistic, and positive despite the current obstacles.
