I am writing this entry on my cell so forgive me if there are any gramatical mistakes. the reason is that i am laying on my air bed in the middle of my room in the new apt. and i dont have a computer or tv to kill time so let me finally post something on my lj. i should be reading but ehhhhh not feeling it tonite. so i went to my coworkers house for a xmas party tonite, a party i really didnt want to go, but i went since she has done a lot for me and has been very supportive at my job (which i can tell u i have no idea how i still have it since i am probably the laziest bum on the face off this planet. i strolled in at noon, had lunch till 1 and probably ended up spending the next 4 hours checking facebook and other meaningless websites). back to the xmas party. so there is a member of ours on whom i had a secret crush for months now. i shall call her TD. she is a young proffesional woman who is smart, has an amazing job (one that I would love to have) and is very pretty. i never got to talk to her at all, BUT tonight she came to the party. not saying that i discovered we r soul mates but at least i got to talk to her, so that kinda made my night and the party was great. lets move to tidbits about my life that may/may not be interesting. - went to NYC this weekend (actually more like 25 hours) it was a lot of fun. almost missed a flight there and would have def. missed it on the way back (made it to the JFK 10 min before the flight) but thankfully the plane was delayed by about an hour so i made it on to the plane. while in NYC i had the pleasure of riding the subway both from the airport and to the airport. on the way back missed my subway entrance and walked like a psycho on the streets of NYC (ended at canal st. probably the largest flea market in the world) finally made it to my subway only to catch a train where i was the only white person there with my nice hugo boss and H&M bags. i love it when people next to me say that 'white man is keeping the black man down' and as a nice young man whose racial background ill keep a secret was saying that i felt the need to hide my bags and probably myself. but alas i survived. - for all of those that catch the miami beach tv channel (which by the way none of u do). i YES i am currently appearing on a commercial for public transportation. since they couldnt find any other losers (aka tourists, which when last checked was plenty in Miami Beach) good old vanja had to step in and do it. now picture me unshaven looking like crap with nails that i have not cut in a while buying a metro ticket and then proceeding to scratch it. so to summarize. Vanja's bald head and unshaven face with darkness under the eyes and ugly hands all combined to make a magical commercial. and to think that they WANT to bring tourists to MB. - went boxing today after not going for a month. its amazing how stress just dissapears and you feel so good afterwards. i feel revived both emotionally (for punching the crap out of that bag) to physically(or how ever u spell it). this week i am going everyday. In a nutshell thats my so called life. i am off to bed | | Monday, October 2nd, 2006 | | 3:41 am |
Random update
i recently discovered the amazing new world of podcasts. I stopped using the Ipod for music and instead only use it for podcasts. It is so freakin addictive. I love it. My favorite part is download them on to my ipod and then go out on my balcony at night when all the old people are sleeping and watch it while i look at the waves crash onto the beach. very relaxing and peacefull. went to UM the other day and saw many peeps i havent in a long time. I realize I haven't been social in a while, but my family leaves for LA on Tuesday so my social life will rebound. I'll be able to hang out with everyone. speaking of LA, I just realized I have no desire to go back there at all, even to visit. I am in that been there done that kinda faze. I had a great weekend. Vicky it was great hanging out with you. Thanks for getting us into that club for free. U rock! other random things. We've been remodeling the kitchen for the last month. we havent done anything extreme but replace all our old old old appliances that we have never used with new new new appliances that we'll probably never use as well. We've had this great oven for the last month and i still havent turned it on (i dont think I even know how to) and a brand new fridge that currently only holds my water bottles. and right now i just want to take this opportunity to thank God for inventing restaurants without which I would probably starve. last week some of my restaurant hang outs included a great italian pizza place, a thai place that made the curry that was like 99% coconut milk and 1% of anything else - disgusting, awsome crepe place that makes great nutella crepes, a german place that had a great sacher torte (only germans know what I am talking about), perricones that had a great gnocci pomodoro dish and a great organic place that has the best edamame and desserts that come in shot glasses. Only god know why I am not 500 pounds. anyways enough ranting, i am off to bed. just another night of insomnia. BEST QUOTE FROM LAST WEEK,courtesy of latisha: I hate my job. MY JOB IS TO GET PEOPLE WASTED. i still dont know why i find it so funny | | Saturday, July 15th, 2006 | | 5:51 am |
just another drunken night
so another drunken night has come to an end. Since I got drunk and then I sobered up pretty quickly and I am still awake let me reflect upon this night, cause I won't remember it in the morning. Went to Studio A, pretty soon I'll be able to make the claim that I visited and partied at every "cool" club in Miami-Dade area. I paid only $15 to get in. Soon my friend and I were joined by my other friend and many many of his buddies. They ended up getting a table, which in the end cost my friend more or less a $1000. Thats what happens when you order a bottle or two or Gray Goose vodka, some absolut vodka and some other crap that after a shot or two you cannot even remember. Funny thing is that as soon as we got our bottles, my friend took everyone to the bar to get shots, which run about $9 per person. Now the good things about being drunk in a club: - you get to meet people you would never get to meet otherwise. You are drunk, they are drunk and life is great. Had a great conversation with a girl named Maggie or Melissa or something that starts with an "M". Can't recall what the heck we talked about, but it was a very pleasant conversation. - All your inhibitions are let loose. When I drink, I can be dancing on the tables and I wouldn't care. Or I could be dancing with a girl that I know in a million years my shyness/insecurity would not allow me to do while sober. - Your friends rock. No matter what crap they did to you. (like not call you for three weeks and act like nothing happened when they see you; name shall be withheld) - You don't have a care in the world. As million of people are starving or dying your are there having the time of your life. Your depressions, emotions, life problems, are all gone and you are on a cloud nine. Thing that suck about being drunk/sober in a club: - you realize you are way to old for this. You could be at home sleeping or reading a good book, instead of killing your brain cells on stuff that is loaded with calories and other things that can cause liver damage. - you realize that you can get many diseases sharing stuff you would never do in real life, like alcohol, water, cigarettes with people who you know have sex lives that would put romance novels to shame (my friend hooked up with 4 girls in less than two hours). - if you ever in life get lung cancer and you don't smoke you know that clubs and smokers in them are responsible for you getting it. I can feel smoke everywhere, on my hair, my clothes. DISGUSTING. - while partying is always fun, partying with your true friends cannot be beat. Dani and Mizu I MISS YOU SO MUCH. Or spending time with your best friends on something as simple as getting coffee and talking about your so called lives. Boro, this is where I miss you. - you come home at 6AM and spend the entire day sleeping, which sucks, especially when you know that day is going to be an amazing one to do something, like swimming, suntanning, or just having a nice walk. SO TO END THIS BORING GETTING SOBER POST i am off to bed. Sweet dreams everybody, even thou you will be getting up very soon. Current Mood:  pensive | | Thursday, July 13th, 2006 | | 1:42 am |
so i did something out of the ordinary tonight, I RODE A MECHANICAL BULL. I never in my life would have thought that i would ever ride one, but i did. I HATE PEER PRESSURE, but I did last ten seconds and I fell off the bull gracefully, without breaking any bones. JAMIE, I AM SO SORRY I DIDN'T CALL U BACK. I PROMISE YOU WILL BE NOT BE FORGOTTEN. I WILL CALL U THURSDAY AFTERNOON. I wanna hear all about your new job... | | Tuesday, July 11th, 2006 | | 5:23 pm |
life and people are stressful. so many meetings, so many phone calls to make, both in personal and business life (hehe, who knew I would be saying that). BUT IN THE END ITS ALL GOOD. MY FAMILY ROCKS, MY FRIENDS ROCK, and MY LIFE ROCKS wouldn't want to have it any other way I am turning 25 in a few weeks, stayed tuned, cause I am planning something special for me and I want all of you that mean so much to me to be there. | | Saturday, July 8th, 2006 | | 3:12 am |
just another insomnia laden night (I think this is the first time in my life I've used laden in a sentence - me happy) Still can't sleep even thou I have been up since 7AM. On the other hand I just finished a John Saul novel, that guy is so freakin' twisted. I shouldn't say I like reading his stuff, but I do. So a few hours back I got a call from a "private" number. I always hate answering those, and I never do, but for some reason I though it was my best friend. Boy I was wrong. The person I least wanted or actually a person whom I never wanted to talk to in my life ever again was on the other line. Twenty minutes of pain full conversation for both of us - I don't think I was ever so fake in my life it was over. This person years ago was once a close/best friend of mine and for some reason I think that this person still thinks that they are and no its not who you think it is (my crazy former korean roommate) What a great way to ruin my night? Why cannot I be a cold person and tell exactly what I feel; like I never want to talk to you again or don't you EVER call me again. I will find solace (another big word, dang, insomnia is making me literate) in this quote that this person received in an email, after the writer of the email finally saw my former friends "REAL & UNTOUCHED" picture. "You look like an apple that has fallen from a tree and hit every branch on the way down" Don't ever talk or email me again. MAN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IT STILL CRACKS ME UP. I am off to try to get some sleep. Current Mood:  sleepy | | Friday, July 7th, 2006 | | 11:34 am |
random update. Insomnia crept back into my life. I can never fall asleep before 4AM, it doesn't matter if I had 2 hours of sleep that night or 10, I cannot fall asleep. I am sure its going to get worse before it gets any better. On July 4th I celebrated my 1 year anniversary of deciding to become healthy (somewhat) and lose weight, since that day I had the pleasure of spending a whole day with FAT samoan people that could barely move because of their weight. one year later and 35 pounds lighter I decided to start exercising regularly again and it feels so good. My mom and brother are in town. Good times, but I am so used to living alone, I cannot stand 2 extra people in my house. My brother already took possession of my laptop an tivo. Work is going good. Too much boring crap to do, which i dont feel like doing. But I am becoming an expert at solitaire. I play it at least 50 a day. My record time is 72 seconds. I am off to see Pirates tonight. Off to a club tomorrow for a friends birthday. I also have to plan a different friends birthday party at a club next week. It should be fun, so if you are bored at home next Friday night give me a call. Other crap I have to do: I have to go to Orlando, make a ton of phone calls and do a whole bunch of crap I dont want to do. I am not really in the mood to do anything. I feel so burned and exhausted from everything. I need a vacation away from Miami. I should be coming to LA in two weeks for some R & R. Should be fun. | | Saturday, June 24th, 2006 | | 3:00 pm |
i need to stop. Last three days i've been drinking every night. Last night probably one of the biggest boozing nights of my life. I didn't even want to go out, but somehow i ended up at pawn shop. After glasses and glasses of hurricanes and other potent drinks, I was everywhere. It wasn't until later that i learned that the group of people i was with were all minors, some not even legal enough to smoke. The room kept spinning and i kept drinking. Left at 5AM. My friend drove my car. Spent the night at a friends house. Passed out in his bathroom, almost breaking my skull. All in all, fun night, but i am getting way to old for this. I am getting old, but not there yet, maybe i should go out tonight as well. I am off to bed. Peace | | Monday, June 19th, 2006 | | 2:24 am |

first i need to start off this journal by apologizing to all the friends on here that I have been neglecting. you know who all of you are. I am going to try to make it up to you this summer. It may seem like I've forgotten about you but I have not. Second, I am off to hawaii for 10 days starting tomorrow, plus a few days in LA. I come back on june 5th. Should be fun, Big Island and Oahu. Hopefully I'll get to see the "active" volcano or take a helicopter tour of the Big Island. so this week has been crazy as usual. Wednesday night at Mansion was AMAZING as was saturday night at Macarena and Sunday night at Pearl/Nikki Beach. Came home in the wee hours of the morning on all three nights. In Pearl, after a mojito and a Long Island Ice Tea I was dancing on the tables. Celebrity sighting of the week: Teddy from 8th & Ocean at Pearl. I was trying my best to see if my current crush Britt was there with him, but no luck. Peace out y'all... | | Thursday, May 18th, 2006 | | 4:14 am |
one word that sums up my life right now. "AMAZING" | | Saturday, April 22nd, 2006 | | 2:43 am |
south beach, how i love thee
so tonight was supposed to be a fun night. like usual my friday nights are reserved for prive/opium garden. The night started off on a great note. Met up with my friends at Yuca on Lincoln and from there we took the cab to the club. After paying our $8 fare, we saw that there were no lines to enter into prive, which never happens. We got in in less that a minute. While they were checking our ID's my friend noticed that she forgot/left her wallet in the back of the cab and that is where the night started getting interesting. The bouncer thought we were just trying to fool him so he started getting angry, until he saw the face of my friend who was about to start crying. So we decided to go and find the cab that had my friends wallet, credit cards, id - from venezuela that takes 1 year to be replaced and $60 cash. who knew there were countless taxi cab companies operating in south beach. we went to the place we took the can and i went to ask a cab driver if he could help us. I said "sir" only to find out it was a woman that looked like a man. Let just say she/he wasn't very helpful. Walked down to police station to file a police report. That took a while. On the way back, it started raining heavily. Got in my car and left. and to think that it was supposed to be such a fun night on the other hand i started my internship with the miami beach chamber of commerce and all i can say is that I LOVE IT. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I am off to bed. PEACE OUT | | Tuesday, April 11th, 2006 | | 2:28 am |
I just realized that Miami is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much fun. I dont think I can ever leave. | | Wednesday, March 15th, 2006 | | 1:11 am |
few things that i miss about home aka south florida - weather, the temperature has not gotten above 60F ever since i got here. The saddest part is that i think i forgot how it feels like to wear flip flops and shorts. I am actually wearing socks inside my house. GOD, I HATE BEING COLD - having something to do all the time. All my friends are either working full time or going to school early in the morning and studying late at night and the reason i care is that all of them are either in bed at 11 or too tired to hang out. on the weekdays i am home by 11PM and its too cold to go out and do anything at night anyways. - having my own space. Living by myself has taught me to appreciate the joys of independence. Leaving it as dirty or as clean as i want it. Finding all my stuff exactly the way I left them and the list could go on. - in short, I miss TiVo, my friends, gym, pool, and my car HOWEVER not to be a downer, LA is great. I love my family and friends and spending time with them is always fun. IF ONLY THE WEATHER COULD BE IN THE UPPER 70'S THEN MY LIFE WOULD BE COMPLETE | | Friday, March 10th, 2006 | | 2:24 am |
I hate getting ready for travel. There is always something I forget, I hate packing, rude flight attendants, crowded airports, rude security agents, long flights, tight seats on the plane, bad food and should I even bother to continue. Its different when you are flying somewhere new and exciting, but when you fly back and forth between the same two cities the routine can get tired. So all i got to say LA HERE I COME I just know that this two week trip better be worth all this trouble. | | Thursday, March 2nd, 2006 | | 9:14 pm |
so last night i decided to go to the hot tub and then i decided to jump into a pool, which i thought was heated, but i was dead wrong. NOT A GOOD IDEA, not to mention cold wind breezes rolling off the freakin' ocean. all this wonderful activity combined to give me the nastiest cold of the recent past. It took two hours of shaking under the covers, headache and several advils to make it go away, not completely, but for the most part is gone. I hate being sick!!!! but other than that life is good. coming back to LA on March 10th, (yes Allie, your birthday) and staying there till March 26th. Just a bit too long, but i'll try my best to make it fun. thats it for now... | | Tuesday, February 21st, 2006 | | 10:52 pm |
so today my dad made a unexpected visit to s. florida, which was a nice surprise. we decided to take one of those cruises along the intercostal waters to gawk at the rich people with their huge houses and boats. during the cruise the boat ventured into the port everglades when the captain pointed out to a huge ship. at first he made a joke that it was a cruise ship, but soon he told us that the boat was actually a private megayacht owned by one of the richest people in the world and that he purchased it for $197 millions. YES THAT IS CORRECT. 197 million dollars. why does a person need a yacht that big is so strange to me. according to our captain, the ships employs five people whose only job is to wash windows (they also make $40,000 a year each) while the main captain makes a whopping $500,000 a year) - ouch, why did i go to UM again. why am i telling you this i do not know. actually I DO, i am waiting for my brother to get out of the bathroom so i can take a shower and i need to kill a few minutes. having family here is nice, but they take up to much of my time. ok the kid is out. i leave you with the picture of this boat that is 450 feet in length and costs more than even the most expensive house in the world.  a question on my mind, while passing by it, DOES THIS GUY HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT IS SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE. later.... | | Friday, January 20th, 2006 | | 11:57 pm |
just made it to orlando. typing on a broken down computer. tommorrow "islands of adventure". hope it will be fun be back home on sunday... | | Friday, January 13th, 2006 | | 3:15 am |
made it back home. to south florida that is. the trip to LA was fun. It started off on a wrong foot, but ended great. got to hang out with the people i care the most and hanged out with people i pretend to care about, but really do not give you know what about them. all in all, fun, but I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK HOME... | | Sunday, January 1st, 2006 | | 4:54 am |
the last two days sucked so who knew that new year eve would turn out to be a blast. A great way to start 2006. |
