It's been quiet lately.

Fall asleep to my voice, so I can wake up to yours.

Football and Soccer.

I can't say that I'm quite knowledgeable nor skilled in either of those two sports.  However, I have been given the responsibility of coaching the kids ever since I started at Think Together.  Football was a failure, due to the underestimation of the seriousness of the game.  The other schools apparently take it very seriously, so we were destroyed in football. 

Today is our first soccer game, and I gave more effort into coaching them this time around.  Let's go!

Dear Mr. David.

Your are really funny and the funest teacher ever. The reason I'am saying this because you teach use magic triks, play fun games, and teach us about everything that is true.  It is very fun being in your class and I'am very lucky to be in your class. Sometimes I think you are two much fun that I can't stand it.  I love Think Together and the teachers, but out of all the teachers you are the best one.

 Sincery,
 your cool and funny student

 Possibly the sweetest note that was ever given to me.  Thanks Deja, you are adorable.

Cigarettes burn forever.

I have never been to Coachella before.  
I've always wanted to go, and this year's line up is beautiful.  
I want to go. 
I don't have money for it though.

Whoa there, buddy.

      Let's take a step back and slow down a bit.  Why is there such a rush to get everything done?  There is no deadline, and no one is counting on you, so why are you in a hurry?  I know times aren't at their best right now, and you can't seem to find a fitting job to settle down with.  Money isn't flowing in like how they used to be, but you out of all people should know how manage that.  You studied in finance! Manage your finances like how you manage your life.  Sort out the commodities and the investments.  Stressing in every you do is very unhealthy to your body and mind.

     Things will turn around soon buddy, I've got your back even when know one else does.  Don't feel so down, please.  Your mother has been very lonely, you should take her out sometime.  Go learn some new instruments, go meet some new faces.  Wait, why are you still single?  All the people around you have been constantly reminding you that fact, and I know; its very annoying.  But they are sort of right, it's been awhile since you've had that feeling for someone.  You are just at the wrong places at the wrong time.  Just remember to walk with a positive attitude and with good posture.  Who knows, maybe its already there, but its just dormant.

     So what if you don't know what direction you are heading?  Nobody does, even if they think they do.  Don't focus on the future, and don't linger on the past.  Even if mother is constantly pushing you to take those steps, try to remain calm and steady.  She is everything to you.  When you lose something permanently, the other one becomes twice as valuable.  Don't stop now, buddy. You are still young, even though the old jokes are slowly coming in.  You have friends, right?  Go to them, don't hold it all to yourself.  But I know you, and I know you will never let it out.  Let's just take a step back, and realize what you have, not what you are missing.

The world is waiting for you, but you have been waiting for the world.

Your Friend, 
Wavid.

Forego the Parable

I want to be in control.

If anything, it should be my turn now.

Chewbacca and Friends.

It was a spontaneous urge to go exploring in the mountains of Glendora today.  We drove to the highest point and we were ready to head back down to pursue on one of the many hiking trails we passed.  However, we were stopped blocked by a highway patrol vehicle and apparently an investigation was in process.  We were not allowed to head back down, :(.  So we took the long way around the mountain, making the best out of it with photoshoot stops and singing songs.  What a bummer, I was ready to hike with my running shoes, (Megan wore slip-ons).

Pieces of Recollection

Thanks to my friends participating, I have a better sense as to what happened on my birthday.

From their perspective.

Fast Food Forgettaboutit

Megan, Amy, and I have formed a pact, and all are welcome to join us.

It is a simple agreement that for every month that we have successfully refuse the consumption of fast food, we will have a celebratory dinner.

Back To December

This one came out well.
One of my favorites.

Find rest for your souls

At around 2AM, I received a phone call from a good friend of mine. He asked me if I knew what I happened to a familiar name, I replied with not a slightest clue. The name was familiar and I could put a face to it; we had went to junior high together. My friend then told me that he had past away a few hours ago, and that he took his own life. It's odd how I start to digest more memories of him right when the shocking news hit my ears. I dislike how the mind works, it often functions when things become unchangeable. We used to play basketball together, and he was in my physical educations class. We both tried out for the basketball team in 7th grade, with me making the list while he didn't. That separation would be one of the last times we would ever talk again. Despite the irrelevant lives we lived, I am still dazed at what happened. May you find the happiness you were once looking for, Bryan Morales.

On a different note, I am curious to know how long it will take until people will realize what they have lost. Even if its just a small bump, you have caused the friendship to grow stale. Don't push the limits because some people can not keep taking these hits.

Oh, and to the left of this blog, you should be able to see a poll with an option of four answers. So please vote in your convenience.

Nothing else will do.

Lawrence and I managed to squeeze in some time for this.

I have a lot of songs in mind to cover, but no one to sing them with.

WHATS GOING ON?! BLAAAH.

All these places have their moments.

We have entered a new year, and this will be my first entry for Two Thousand Eleven.

Overall, this year wasn't so nice and dear to me. I was burdened with the most stress and anxiety, and luck wasn't on my side. But let's not be cynical, there were still a lot of good moments to be accounted for.

It was a year of transitioning. I have obtained my bachelors in Cal Poly Pomona, and was able to walk away from that campus without looking back. The day when I would quit Dick's Sporting Goods finally came soon after. Two new hobbies were adopted; recording and photo shoots. Covering a range of genres in music, I have significantly improved on my guitar and vocals. Acquired a violin, however, with no ability to play whatsoever. Two vacations were planned. Driving along the cliffs of the Pacific Coast Highway to getting raided by squirrels, Big Sur was a getaway to the wilderness. Getting lost in the subway routes in Manhattan; New York was a city lost in its lights. From the powering roars of the Niagara to the lifted spirits in Boston, I was becoming native to the East. Employed by Coast Bridge Logistics and left them within a month. Depression soon followed, as well as my increase in debt to the banks. Kids are now my new workforce, they are now my boss. Decision of returning to school for my masters was finally decided because of working at Think Together. Second Annual Wongsgiving was a success, as well as my two-day 23rd Birthday bash. Started the P-90x program with a new drastic haircut. I saw the Phantom descend upon the opera house, and bands such as Thrice, Shout Out Louds, Gogol Bordello, and Minus the Bear rock out on stage. New friends were definitely made this year, and existing friendships became uncontrollably weaker.

This year has been bumpy. Let's move on.

It was three years ago yesterday when he left.
