A Black Book Entry

This morning, after talking to her for ages (as she had to go to bed), I decided to sketch in my little black book.

This was the outcome...

A Railroad Adventure

Hmmm...I wonder if I remember everything that happened last night...

So...
Stephanie and I were hanging out at Andrew's house last night. When we got there at 12, we were hungry so we went out to get food and Andrew had to buy a magazine. On the way out, Stephanie offered us some Tic Tacs.

Stephanie: Want some Tic Tacs?
Kevin: Yeah, sure. Thanks.
Stephanie: Aren't these the best?! (Immediately starts coughing badly on a Tic Tac)
Andrew: (Laughs) That was perfect timing..!


Then we came back and ate these goood chicken and taders we bought, treated our ears to the first two System Of A Down albums and read the new Blender magazine, doing the little tests in them...then Stephanie started doing sudoku puzzles then throwing things at Andrew and other random stuff...then Andrew told us about some girl he met.

Andrew: So, I met this hot girl at a bar the other day.
Kevin: Yeah?
Andrew: Yeah, and I couldn't tell if she had a European accent or a speech impediment...


Gee XD then at 3 in the morning, we decided that we'd go for a walk! So we walked a few blocks from Andrew's house to this railroad. We followed that for like 5 minutes in the darkness, then stopped under this bridge to stare at the graffiti which was sweeet. Then we turned back and just went on north, following the train tracks, and Stephanie and I kept shoving (and punching) each other [damn you, Steph]. And Stephanie wouldn't stop asking these musical/celebrity questions, testing Andrew. I still don't know why. I think Andrew wants to be a radio VJ...
Then Stephanie saw something move in the bushes, so we threw stones to see if whatever it wuz would come out...then sure enough, a skunk ran out! And Stephanie ran away in sheer terror. XD
Then we kept following the rail road, with more shoving and punching, spotting dead animals and playing a game about actors and movies (the one where you say an actor's name, then the person next to you has to say a movie that actor's in, then the person next to them has to say the name of another actor that's in that movie and then it rotates like that XP). And Stephanie proved to us how strong her sense of smell was...she analyzed this one smell so precisely XD I think it wuz food.
Then we went into this empty factory type place where trucks picked up products (the place had a few security cameras too, but they weren't pointed at us) and I tagged a little bit and drew something kind of vulgar on the side of a trash bin. XP
Then we just walked and walked along the road, following nothing really. Hmmm...then we decided to go home...But we were lost! But we kept walking. And in the words of Stephanie - "We almost got guns pointed at us by some guys in a car and run over."
We passed lots of "Portuguese houses" (as described by Steph) and we saw these two dudes on bikes whom I believe had been doing graffiti...I dunno, one guy had a backpack and the other guy just looked like he did graffiti. XP
Then I tagged a bit more somewhere and we kept walking, trying to figure out where we were and singing random songs and seeing this one cat everywhere we went...and we even saw seaweed on the side of the road! How it got there is still a mystery to us. Then there wuz more shoving and punching...and then Andrew had to pee when we reached an intersection. We passed this one shop that had a sign in front of it with a hand pointing towards the shop.

Stephanie: Pee here! Look, it's even pointing!
Andrew: Ah, the fine art of peeing.


I don't think Andrew got to pee though. XD Then Stephanie told us about how she knew this one guy with no testacles. That made me laugh so hard I even fell to the ground!
Then we found the railroad again! AHH! Excitement ran through us. XP and right that moment, Stephanie got us to play this game where she'd say a word and we'd have to think of a song that had that word in it and sing it.

Stephanie: Okay. Umm... "Shoe"!
Kevin: Hmm... "There was on old woman who lived in a shoe..."
Stephanie: "Children".
Kevin: Ah! "Children of the Korn! I'm the first born..!"
Stephanie: Okay. "Chimpanzee".
Kevin: What!? (Laughs)
Stephanie. "Chimpanzee". Andrew?
Andrew: (Balancing on the metal rail a few feet behind us) What?
Stephanie: Think of a song with the word "chimpanzee" in it.
Andrew: Uh... "Chimpanzee...I'm a chimpanzee.."
Kevin: HAHA Sweet.
Stephanie: Okay. Umm... "Sharing"!
Andrew: (Joyfully like a kid singing a tune) "Sharing! Sharing! Under the rainbow...and sun." I don't know, I just made it up.


Then later on, Stephanie wanted us to play with our shadows, making things out of them. Then Andrew started talking like a robot. And I couldn't stop laughing. He really pondered being an android. Then for some reason we talked about the Space Jam soundtrack and sang the songs we could remember. XD

Kevin: "I believe I can fly..."
Andrew: "I believe I can touch the sky..."
Kevin: "I think about it every night and day..."
Andrew: "Spread my wings and fly away..."
Kevin: "I believe I can soar..." Then how does it go?
Andrew: "See me running through that open door..."


Mmmyeah...then at around 5 we got back to where we started! We finally reached the little path that had initially led us to the train tracks. And like travellers from far far away, we rested on a bench, super tired, our legs aching.

Kevin: So, Andrew Android...
Andrew: Ah yes, right about that.
Stephanie: Kevin the...Cookie monster!
Kevin: (Laughs) What?!
Andrew: Stephanie the...Stethoscope...
Stephanie: (Looking down smiling, eyes wide with her head tilted sideways like a mannequin) I-Listen-To-Your Heartbeat...


XD Then on the way back to Andrew's house, we saw the same cat that we'd seen before!

Stephanie: Oh my God, it's that same cat!
Andrew: I think that cat's leading us the way.
Kevin: Imagine that! What if it leads us to your house? We should follow it.
Andrew: Yes, we should.


Then, we followed it into these bushes that lead us to the alleyway that leads to Andrew's. And when we got to Andrew's house, we just lay around, watching Curb Your Enthusiasm for about an hour. Then Stephanie and I went home around 6.

Then I'm home now, listening to Deftones and chatting a little bit, trying to post this...and just anticipating the next thing I'm gonna get up to. Too bad Ed's foot is messed up though...He can hardly go anywhere...

So yup! Thanks for asking me to come along, Steph X) there should be a next time...and definitely bring your video camera! ^^

Back In The Day Videos

Just 10 random videos I always liked from back in the day (late 90s or early 2000, yeah I'm so oldschool XP). I always tried to catch them on TV or watched them on my computer (if I couldn't catch them on TV) - not only because they're awesome songs by bands I really liked (or still like), but because I digged the video concepts and they looked really amazing.

It's weird. This selection I made ended up being some of the more serious videos I was into. I mean, I liked a lot of videos from all these guys (and others) back in the day, but this selection somehow excludes the more fun ones. I guess that could make another post for later on. I like this selection though. It's a mix of fun and artistic stuff.

Anyway, I tried to put them in an order that I thought would make them all interesting to watch (if anybody would want to watch them all anyhow). Some videos I couldn't put up due to quality problems, so I chose another video that's just as good from the same band.

The Offspring - Why Don't You Get A Job?


HAHA. This takes me back to 6th grade. XD Good times.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Incubus - Drive

MC Escher's drawing hands. Who'd have thought of doing that?

---------------------------------------------------------------

Deftones - Back To School

Makes you wanna raid your school.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

Makes you wonder if being in a game would be cool, I guess.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Korn - Freak On A Leash

The bullet going around is a pretty wild idea. Todd McFarlane's the man.
---------------------------------------------------------------

System Of A Down - Chop Suey!

Somehow, fading in and out of other people never gets old.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Limp Bizkit - Boiler

Pretty dark, weird and unpredictable. I think the cartoon is pretty cool too.
---------------------------------------------------------------

P.O.D. - Youth Of The Nation

I originally wanted to put up "Alive" but yeah... This one gets to you. I like the cinematography too.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Blink 182 - Stay Together For The Kids

This one's pretty serious. I thought the cinematography was cool and it fit the mood of the song great.
---------------------------------------------------------------

The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up

Greatest twist ever haha.

New Thing Thing

Well...I dyed my hair again - mainly because the black wuz fading to a brownie. And I guess dyeing your hair is cool...

Sooooo it's uh...blue-black now! [bluck?] Aaaaand I dig it ^^

Sometimes I forget that I've got earrings.

Clan or Tribe Name?

These visa application forms are pretty cool.
"...and yes, please feel free to tell us what clan or tribe you belong to."

Okay. I don't belong to any clan or tribe, but...

Literally A Night Owl

Boy. I must be bored! I've been up making music, watching youtube, looking for stuff to laugh at, chatting with my Mom and with Michael aka Maznotic XP who made me laugh pretty hard with his stories haha and just him talking about stuff that still hasn't changed in Moz.

Oh yeah! I went out for a walk in the vicinity too haha. It wuz pretty. So Springy. I found out that the path that goes under the thingy [the bridge XP wuz just rhyming there for a second] leads to this forest-like area. Which wuz nice. And some of it actually makes up lots of richie people's backyards. I wished I had a camera. I wanted to take pictures of the trees and the sunlight seeping through their leaves. :(

I also randomly contemplated getting new shoes because I just need new shoes [and new shoes are the best XP]. Then I came back to my den and went on MSN again, chatted, watched more youtube, surfed for summer jobs, listened to music, thought of her of course...and took pictures of me because I wuz mad bored and thought I looked delirious. Guess I'd post a few up XP

How random a post is this?

For Mom.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Too bad I don't even have any pics of me and you apart from this one.

I love you!

Simple Man


Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Stupid. My Self-inflicted Wound.

AHHHH!! I JUST BIT MY TONGUE REALLY BADLY!!

...and now it's BLEEDING profusely. Everytime I spit or just rub my tongue against the ceiling of my mouth, it feels as though I have a deep hole in the tip of my tongue!!

NGHHH...hurts so bad. This is probably the worst it's ever happened to me.

Here's a disturbing pic-

Man, it feels weird. Damned chicken wing. Guess it wuz so good that I bit my stupid tongue...

But now it's not so bad...Considering it took me 10 mins to upload this XP

Reflection Eternal

Ahh...what a day, what a day. Hung out with Nathan, Filip, Jason, and Shay (sp?) at Fil's house then at night we went to a dumb lonely bar in Little Italy to meet somebody (which later made Nathan, Jason, Shay and I, question our being there). Mehhh. Wuz fun at Fil's in the afternoon though when it wuz sunny and nice, just hanging out in his balcony. I laughed so damn much XD yes - I even fell to the floor just giggling and laughing hard, which wuz mostly due to Nathan's hilarious comments, stories and random imagination. But everyone else wuz funny too hehe. Damn. Those guys are awesome. HAHA. And when we took the train, we saw this molhuene...and when we transferred to another train to go to our last stop, we saw the molhuene on that one again haha that wuz unexpected and funny at the time.

Oh yeah, we were getting ready to leave Fil's place when he realized he couldn't leave without his wallet...which he couldn't seem to find. So after a long time of us searching for his wallet...Nathan and I started teasing him for fun XP

Nathan: I'm gonna go check over here. Maybe you put it in the fridge!
Kevin: Yeah! Maybe you put it in the freezer!
Nathan: Oh no! Maybe you cooked it!
Kevin: Or maybe you flushed it down the toilet!
Nathan: Or maybe it went down the balcony!
Kevin: Oh no! It's here dude...*pulls out own wallet from back pocket without anyone seeing, knowing it looks like Fil's wallet*
Filip: Oh man, you found it!
Kevin: Yeah! No, I'm just kidding. This one's mine...
Filip: Oh man, I thought it was mine..!

Hahaha Fil found his wallet though. Gee. Hoping tomorrow night will make up for my not-so-awesome night. Going to Holly's birthday party. Should be good!

Talking to my sister at the moment (who told me about these awesome dreams she had and keeps watching scary One Tree Hill stuff on youtube and her reactions are making me laugh haha) and I'm hoping to talk to my bro sometime, though he has to go to an extra math class at school. HAHA he just scared her XD saying "GOOD MORNING HANDSOMES AND BEAUTIES!!" making her go "WHOA!!" =O really surprised hahahaaha. And apparently my parents went out for a run somewhere.

Oh boy, I miss my fam. And everyone else I love of course - like my cousins, my longtime friends, and that special girl I have...

Gee. So good to know there are people that will always be there for you and love you and talk to you (or listen to you talk or even just sit there in complete silence with you) whenever they can or whenever you need them and will always know that you'd do the same.

Always grateful to have you guys.

AAHH! Love you <3

Overalls & Teddy Bears

Well well well....I wonder who this is XP haha and I'll bet my aunt wuz the one that put that bandana on my head!
Ah...so innocent. My mom found all these pictures of me as a baby haha they're funny X)


Just over a year old. At my auntie Sharon's house in the Phils.

Two years old. Back at our first house in Mauritania.

The Posse

This is part of Holly's mockumentary about a girl who thinks she's a vampire slayer and that vampires exist just because she always thought that Buffy The Vampire Slayer was a documentary series.
In this scene...me, Nathan and Filip were supposed to act like this guy's posse because the vampire slayer tries to kill him. So he introduces us as guys he hired to protect him and we laughed so hard because we never knew what he was going to say! It wuz fun though. ^^
