Nothing better.

These blogs of mine are in such a messed up order. I have grown so accustomed to facebook notes that I keep forgetting I have a blog. For my summer promise, this blog will be filled with entries and photos and other such wonderful things that I will look back on.

BUT, in the meantime .. heres what you missed:

*N.B; When I say "The Usual", its just the name of my everyday group of friends. One day I'll blog about each of them just so you get the idea. =)

The Usual and I traveled to Barrie where we went to the beach and played man hunt in the playground. Kim also lost her phone. After a few minutes of looking, we found it. LOL. We also talked a whole lot about life, love and other things that make us miserable. Then to top it all off, we decided to go to the water's edge, skip rocks and wait for the sun to rise up and greet us. {ps} I had to pee soooo bad ! Thank the lord of friendly late night security guards who randomly show up in the knick of time!

So as the title suggests, we took a group trip to the beach. Nothing beats soakin the rays in with your number ones =) I was the only one who was willing to spend more than 15 minutes in the water. LOL. I can't help it. I'm a freakin fish! It got to a point where they sent someone in to get me. Once I was shore bound, I helped transform Lucky into a wacked out merman! Did I mention how burnt I got? :(
photo deets; Myself with Lucky trying to make sense of it all LOL. Thanks Boo for the photo op!

So, The Usuals decided to throw our friend Ari a "PWND!" surprise bday party. Why we call it a PWND BDAY is because he basically got his birthday wrong. I'm not going into details about it because I don't want to bait him out like that. Needless to say, we threw a really relaxing and fun party for a good friend of ours. We ate/cooked food, played some Rockband & Guitar Hero, learned how to really play Black Jack courtesy of Jay, and just enjoyed eachother's company. At night however, we went to Tim Hortons and gambled some more to kill the time in between the boys + Boo deciding to have roman candle fight. That was interesting and extremely scary and smokey! Of course, the fire dept. and the police were tipped off in which case, we drove off to evade trouble. LOL. Immature? Yes. Smart? Not exactly. Worth it? Definetly.
photo deets; Ari and the wonderful PWND sign I made. Photo creds go to me for this one =) Here's some more pics from that night :

So The Usuals and then some decided to go to Downsview Park to enjoy the carnival and fireworks for our nation's birthday! It wasn't exactly the most breath taking fireworks but anybody who knows me, knows I love love love fireworks of any kind. In my opinion, the fireworks could have been shorter and less redundant but whatever. I'm just happy that they even happened at all because the fire dept. was on strike. In the end, we all got seperated by the huge crowd and met back up at my house. I live walking distance from the park. We all just ended up going back up to my apartment and playing card games and video games. The night would've been much better if the group was complete and we went earlier to catch most of the festivities. We got there jsut a few moments before the show but caught a snippet of another show in progress. It was a random guy from New Zealand who blew up a latex glove with his nose while holding a torch between his legs. Not exactly entertaining. LOL It's never a dull moment with us. photo deets; The fireworks I was able to capture even with that obstruction of a pole in my way. Another one captured by moi, you like? =)

feat. AJM, A-Jose, Stepz, F. Scoops, Jay Renz, D- Pryde,
Vibrasonic Sessions & more.

The Usual and I got all gussied up to attend The Jump Off II . This event was highly anticipated. Big ups to Ian Nillas for organizing this showcase! It was " Ma Lupet". The Performers were absolutely amazing. My highlights would definetly be AJM, A-Jose, Sean Cristi and Vibrasonic Sessions! I was awe inspired. This event was based on the movement to reach out to others through music. Raw and untapped talent came out and gave us party-goe'ers a show to remember. It was hosted at MStudio which is ran and put together by Filipinos. Not to say that you have to be Filipino to attend or participate! MStudios and Minerva Records are trying to break into the industry full force with introducing more Filipino artists to kind of break the minority. It's a great thing. If it empowers us while providing great music for others, I'm always down! photo deets; 1. AJM, Stepz, F.Scoops 2. Swanky & Vibrasonic Sessions 3. AJM & A-Jose 4. Jay Renz, AJM & Miszy D ; too awesome!

WELL KIDS, that's what's been going on lately. The tip of my summer iceburg. I promise I'll be back soon with more tidbits from my hectic life. Thanks for the read up!
