Gardening / Self-Sufficient Garden Pool

I remember back in the Philippines when my mom had a garden of orchids, Dancing Ladies, Bougainvilleas, Calachuchis, and Hibiscus flowers. We also had Bitter Squash, two SeƱorita Banana trees and a Papaya tree.

I've been living here in the US for 13 years. That's the same amount that I lived in the Philippines before moving here. One of the things that I miss is my mom's garden of orchids, flowers, vegetables and fruits. It's not what you'd call a dream garden. But my mom made the most out of the empty lots around our house in the back corner of the Jariol Residence. I've been living in this house right now for about 12 years. We have 3 non-fruit-bearing young trees (non-edible at least) and flowers bought from the gardening section of Home Depot/Lowe's. I asked my mom years ago and recently if we can plan vegetables and fruits. She said we need permission from the home owner's association to do that. It has to be within a certain number of feet from the house walls. The best way to plan vegetables or fruits are as potted plants. Not gonna cut it for me.

Break In New Kicks Through Gaming


I bought these last week. Just wore them yesterday. Had to break them in. And the only way I know to break in new shoes are by dancing on the Pump it Up Arcade Machine. They updated the machine at Dave & Busters to the latest version, Pump it Up Fiesta.

Otakon 2010 Day 2


I dressed up as Teito Klein from 07-Ghost. Some people were really impressed with my Bascule prop. Around 2PM, someone pulled the fire alarm and everyone in the convention were lead out. I drove my sister home for her Paramour concert which wasn't until 6:30PM. I still feel bad about taking her home early. I'll make it up for her. I drove back and met with my 07-Ghost photoshoot. It shouldn't come as a surprise, but I was the only guy in the group. After the photoshoot, we did another one in the outdoor terrace and hanged out with my group inside the convention. We left and said our goodbyes and I changed into something more comfortable.... IT'S RAVE TIME!!!

Otakon 2010 Day 1

Just finished uploading the best photos from Otakon 2010 Friday (Day 1). My Flickr account is almost maxed out so Day 2 will only be in Facebook photos until my Flickr account resets the maximum limit. The catch phrase this year are rehashes from last year: You lost the game, Butt-scratcher, Colossus Power Yell, etc.

Enjoy.

I'm done.

You Know You're...

You know you're addicted to a Facebook game when real world sounds reminds you of the game.

You know you're addicted to caffeine when 5-Hour energy drink makes you sleepy.

You know you're metrosexual when you have more clothes than most guys and some girls or ex.

You know you're metrosexual when you take longer to get ready dressing up than the other metrosexual guy.

You know you're a gamer when you say noob (loudly or in your head) at people who turn one the left lane and then decide the last minute to turn back to the previous lane.

You know you're gamer when a gamer starts referencing gaming terms and you totally understood them all without blinking.

You know you're frustrated when the littlest things like the sliding doors of a building take too long to slide away from you.

You know you're sexually frustrated when everything around you looks very sexy.

You know you're obsessive-compulsive when you triple check everything.

You know you're a Gleek (Glee geek/fan) when you start quoting lines from certain episodes, listen to all their music, downloaded all their music, bought all their CDs, force your family to watch them, buy the "Don't Stop Believin'" Official Glee T-Shirt from Borders, and you scream like a girl for news related to Glee, Kristen Chenoweth, and many more.

You know you're a Gleek when you actually auditioned online to be part of the show... True story.

I'm done.
