my heart says....

2011-05-06T01:09:00.000-07:00

i don't know exactly whats happening in my life just now.

all i know is, i am taking one day at a time.

trying to do the best i can for the time being.

i feel like i am pretty good at it.

although, i woke up this morning from nightmares.

for the most part, i am good.

my heart says.... it's all good and it will be an amazing ride to my original destination.

here i come.

OPEN...

2011-04-14T14:11:00.000-07:00

drawing from 7 in the morning by the church near my house.
all the sudden, my life has turned upside down again.

from being around my best friends 24/7 ..... and working just too many hours.... to nothing.

i feel like i am in a bright white room sitting on a rotating chair. i see doors in all direction.

ofcourse, all doors are closed and i have no idea what's behind them.

At this point, i have no idea how my life is going to pan out. no clue. all i know is that i have this moment of silence and more than enough time to count my breath.

and think about what my life means right now.... how was i going to live this life... with whom, and why.

lol. cheers to that.

pictures and sketches from snowboarding trip in california.

don't be jealous people. you just need to pack your bag and move to california.

california!

2011-03-05T23:18:00.000-08:00

it's quite a journey. i don't know what prompt me to quit my job

i don't know what prompt me to pack my bag and fly to LA.

i don't know why my love for San Francisco subsided.

i don't know how in the world i landed on the job that i did.

i don't know how everything is falling into place while i am having the time of my life

underneath the golden sun with my favorite friends around.

all i know is that i am truly lucky to be where i am today and i thank the stars above.

i promise i will do my best to give it all back. :)

cheers to life!!!! yay!

2011-02-24T00:55:00.001-08:00

today, i was out with my favorite girl in the world and was injured on my way home with her.

i almost landed on my face in front of her but i was ok. i liked that i could play sick and she could take care of me.... and buy me more beer and frito on my way home. kikiki

and when we came home, we did watercolor.

what a lovely memorable day!

I must say, my adventure here in California is not what i had expected.

I am starting to think that maybe nothing will happen and i might return to NYC by end of March. And if that was the case, i still have no regrets. I couldn't denied the fact that my days in California is nothing but amazing. All because i am sharing this time with two of my favorite girls in the world! I LOVE YOU!

sometimes its nice to be inside the bubble.

especially when its pink and smells like bubble gum.

timing is everything

2010-10-09T18:06:00.001-07:00

A: u know i had a thought today about timing. how some ppl cant c something is special when its in front of them and they miss the boat often times regretting for missing the boat.
Then, there's others that realize how special something is and gets on the boat. it's just a matter of time and awareness

S:Yeah, i agree. But there's a reason why you miss the boat. you weren't ready. people never miss the boat when they are ready.
Timing is everything. maybe that's why there's a thing called fate.....

2010-07-06T20:46:00.000-07:00

long string of thread dancing to the side

couple trapped in thoughts

a woman looking for seat

a guy scratching his scars

heated arguement in unknown language

R train in stillness

just a moment in my 12,239th day.

have i last

2010-07-01T20:00:00.000-07:00

And just
Be by your side?

she was about 70 years old. with shaved head with fluorescent yellow island of hair on top of her head.
she was so flexible and strong.
she was doing all the poses i couldn't even hold for few minutes.
she inspired me....
there is no limitation.
amen to that.

may day

2010-05-01T19:35:00.000-07:00

every moment is connected to another.
every thought, every emotions, even to my very breathe can not

exist without the one before and one after.

i am connected to that very source of infinity.

may day may day,

do not be afraid.

there is no end and no beginning.

no hello and no goodbye.

i to i to back to i

i feel....

2010-04-25T16:22:00.000-07:00

slightly sad today.

maybe it's the weather,

maybe it's the parking ticket i got,

maybe there's just too many goodbyes in my life, or

maybe, it's just another sign that tomorrow will be a better day.

A call at my nose.
Something really stinks!
Sniff. Sniff....
Is it.. me?
Is it.. air or maybe its on my shoe.
Nooooooooo,
I still smell it.

Why is it following me?
Is it fading?
Or is it not....hiding.

why don't you show me your face.
alright you....
O dear my sweet stinky you,
Don't forget to say good bye
when you decide to leave.

2010-04-17T08:45:00.001-07:00

this had to be one of the funniest picture of me.
i have been told i look like a cartoon character.

i believe it.

i crack myself.
i could probably use a good hand model too.
anyone?

San Fran....i love you!

2010-04-15T15:49:00.001-07:00

seeing a long distant friend with his perfect pair,
drawing in the fog early in the morning,
practicing yoga, meditating,
exploring the city with my dearest friend A,
surprise on bus across town,
sipping on beer, wine, and smoking cigarettes without a guilt.
yeah, i loved san fran.

deep within

2008-08-20T10:16:00.000-07:00

the stillness, a breathe in between.
a solid answer in mind, i have indeed.
slowly unwrap.
free me from the possibility of the one unknown.
and shy me the language of the world unread.

i am left drenched in a state of deep sorrow.
i could no longer hold this very state of mine.

hurry pass this still.
i long to run.
once.
more.

like dad like I

2008-08-16T16:29:00.000-07:00

I went to botanical garden with my dad. it was really special. we walked, talked, and hung out all around the garden. in the middle of the day, we rested on a rock while i sketched and he meditated. after while, i sat next to him and started to meditate myself. i could see in the corner of my eyes of people looking really strange at two people sitting next to each other obviously in middle of meditation.

it was amusing to me.

so there i was... pretending to mediate and thinking about my childhood days. i actually did the same thing long long time ago. i found my dad napping in front of the lake one day. so i decided to go next to him and copy him. i laid next to him. spread out my legs and arms so that it really looked like i was napping myself. my mom took a picture of it.

after i got back from the garden, i looked everywhere for this picture...

so, here it is... me trying to copy my dad because i want to be just like him.

i love you dad... you are my biggest hero.

hush

2008-08-05T20:00:00.000-07:00

echo of my past is drifting away

as the white fluffy clouds are humming in my ear

sparkles are back, dancing on my shoes

as i bottle this moment

forever be mine

2008-08-03T18:12:00.000-07:00

it was raining but we still decided to go. we went to penn station, picked a place and got on the train. it was pouring out. we watched the rain, wrapped each other in newspaper because it was so cold.
5 minute before belmar, sun started to show. the day looked beautiful indeed. we laid in the sun in our underwear and ran into the ocean.
sipped wine next to the bridge by the water and took our train back into the city.
it was a beautiful weekend. thanks.

2008-07-31T20:21:00.000-07:00

what have you learned today
what did you dream today
i see the reflection of myself in your eyes
what's in me is within you
i couldn't say anything because your dream were in fact mine
rice krispies....indeed.

listen in

2008-07-29T19:12:00.000-07:00

i believe the reason i am sad today is so that i could be happier tomorrow.
i believe my life is taking me to a greater place.
i believe deep down i know where i am headed.
and i believe i will meet you along the way

what have i learned today

2008-07-28T21:36:00.000-07:00

i was numb. i no longer thought about what things meant or try to make sense of things. if you just let it, it is really clear. things are simple.

i am not built this way. and i am special because i am built this way.

i now know.

i learned that about me today. pretty darn special. special indeed......

grey cloud

2008-07-25T20:19:00.000-07:00

i can't get the grey cloud over my head. everything frustrates and upsets me so deep inside. am i bipolar? why am i so moody. why can't i just be fuckin normal. why can't i just be in place filled with white cloud?

today

2008-07-23T20:47:00.000-07:00

in the end, it's a simple answer.
