Crown me!
I've developed a greater appreciation for keeping my teeth clean and healthy. I went in to get a new crown on one of my teeth today. All the years of loving sweets have started to catch up to me. I better watch it or I may develop a minor condition of diabetes like my father. Damn my family for letting me have anything I wanted as a child, including sugar on my rice! I'd like to award my father for the grand prize of helping me develop my sweet teeth. Without him, my love for desserts would not be as potent. He still makes the best kusinta in the world!

Los Angeles Council Passes Anti-Sweatshop Ordinance
Alright folks, time to get other ports of entry in this damn nation to follow suit.

Yoga by Nike
Seems like a contradiction, doesn't it? A practice that promotes peace and unity of mind, body and community has been embraced by one of the largest mulitinational companies who is notorious for human rights abuses in their sweatshops in numerous developing countries. Where do we draw the line? For more information on the anti-sweatship Nike campaign, check out GlobalExchange.com.

Denial
After a few months of denying myself anything Filipino, I have a weekend filled with nothing but Pinoy things.
Instead of taking a walk around the neighborhood today, Lola's Boy, Katscratches and I went for a walk around the Island Pacific Market Plaza in Panorama City, aka Daly City #2. As Lola's Boy was picking up Pinoy newspapers, I noticed a big poster in Goldilocks promoting a visit from Manny Pacquio, a feather weight champion boxer who will be fighting Morales, a Mexican boxer in Vegas during Vanessa's Wedding. So then and there, it was decided that we were going to come back later in the afternoon to see if we could take pictures with him, as well as have a few of our friends come out and revel in their Pinoy-ness by having their pictures taken with him. Bambu & Kiwi are apparently huge fans of Pacquio's, aka Pacman. (Not sure how formidable of a nickname that is but he's Pinoy...can't really say much else about that.)
After succumbing to the food coma brought on by lunch at Pinoy Pinay and a few hours of random house chores, we get back to Goldilocks just as Pacquio was walking out the door. I walked into the restaurant trying to look for Bambu and Kiwi but ended up losing Joe in the process. Considering his 6"1' frame, it wasn't hard to find him. This fool ended up following the crowd that was surrounding Pacquio and low and behold, Bambu & Kiwi were also part of that crowd, starting to shout out Pacquio's name. Everyone was taking pictures of him. My lovely, smart, dearest decides to get behind Pacquio while Bambu & Kiwi were taking pictures from the front. This was the first time I've ever seen Joe so star struck. Bambu & Kiwi, whom I have seen pretty cool and collected were like little school girls trying to get a hold of Pacquio's hand. AHAHAHAH! They were sooo cute! Kat, Cheryl and I were laughing hysterically at the whole thing. Lola's Boy managed to get close enough to the car so that he could bump fists with the Golden Fighter, himself. Katscratches and I were talking about taking pictures with Pacquio with signs that said, "Hi, Dad." Ah well...next time. So I don't get star struck all the time but hell, if all the people I'm with are getting into it, I guess I'll join in a little bit.
Later in the evening, we all trekked down to Carson City to attend a conference on a Philippine Studies Program, essentially an immersion program to help teach people Tagalog and be exposed to different aspects of Philippine life. I forgot we were going to a college. I also forgot that it was the first time this conference was happening. First of all, if their attempt was to get people who have never been to the program to attend it, the format needed great improvement. Joe was going to go to some of the workshops, but many of them and the attendants consisted of individuals who had already gone through the program. Big no-no when you're trying to attract people who have never been through the program or have had little to no exposure to it. Why would I want to go to an event where most people know each other already and then go to a variety show where comments are made that pertain only to the people who have gone through the program? I was willing to keep an open mind about this whole thing, considering I hadn't attended any of the workshops.
As I was sitting through the variety show, I kept thinking how we were all a product of our parents' generation. There always has to be some kind of performance related event attached to some kind of gathering, whether it be academic or not. Go figure. Each performance in the beginning was drama this, drama that. Most of the songs that were sung were slow ballads either about losing one's love or having love....da...dada...dada...dada. And, in true progressive fashion, out came the poetry readings. Lola's Boy and I joke with each other all the time when we sit through these things. We've seen so many of them, there are similar elements that are prevalent in many readings. There always has to be some kind of description of being in darkness and walking into the light, experiencing an awakening of some sort or feeling water on someone's face, washing away some kind of torment. The intonations of the voice are always the same, having that beat that sounds like many people I've heard perform live poetry. And how come I've heard hella poems about a parent sacrificing their life for their child and laying the responsiblity of carrying on "the struggles" to the child after the parent has passed. Damn those are hard challenges to take on, especially being told as a child!? I wonder what children think when they're told that. At that point, I'm sure they don't know the difference between their shoes or a new toy. All I'm saying is that there are so many similar themes that have been used in so many poems I've heard. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that but the way those themes are approached needs to be super unique for me to stand up and give a mighty ovation. I think it's just more respectable to the art that way. Absolutely no offense is meant to those who are reading this and perform poetry. I love all of you. I just think that sometimes we all get a little carried away with the emotions and don't always see how cliche our lines and themes are. I've been a victim of it, too so don't start all that head rollin'. Keep doing your thing, though because goodness knows there are way more people out there who can write better than I can.
Native Gunz were the feature of the evening, I think. Those guys are great! Why don't they have a record deal yet? Ha! It was such a stark comparison to seeing them on stage and seeing them go gaga over Pacquio. Those guys tear it up everytime they take center stage, though. I can't really say much else for their performance except that they were freakin' awesome! Thanks for letting me be a groupie for the night!
To top off our night. we decided to catch some bites at the Maynila restaruant in Carson. We were in Daly City #3, we might as well check out the digs. First we park in a lot that has a huge mural that looked like it was created by Eliseo Silva and then we hear loud ass music blasting from the restaruant. Apparently this place is open until 2am for karaoke. I was just hoping the kitchen was still open. Afte a few minutes, I knew where I was. I felt like I was sitting in a roadside restaurant in the Philippines with cold, bare floors, open air seating, and of course, listening to people sing on the karaoke machine. Except down there, I think it's called videoke. No clue as to the reason so don't ask. The food was pretty darn good especially for not having Pinoy food for quite some time. Don't know if I'll ever go back there again but it's good to know where to go when you're starving for some late night snacks.
So that was my all-thing-Pilipino Saturday. On to Sunday!

Trippy Thursday
Today didn't exactly started the way I wanted it to. I woke up way too late and didn't get into the office until 10am. Ooops. Thank goodness traffic wasn't too bad on the 405, well, until I reached the 101/405 junction. Whoever designed that portion of the damn freeway was on some straight crack. It totally needs to be redone but there is so much traffic that goes through there, who knows if they will ever touch it. Besides, all the bougie, nonpublic transit-friendly Westsiders would probably create some kind of legal prevention to stop from revamping the whole freeway. It's one of the worst ones to be on in LA!
After work, I was completely late to my meeting with Arnold and Rex. Sorry guys...I apologize profusely. It was a good meeting, none the less. I'm still trying to get comfortable in my advisor role to FAN . I just want to make sure it really does progress beyond the social part. It'd be great to get to a level where it has a nice mix of the two.
I've been preparing to transition over to SIPA, too. I can't believe how lucky I was to have landed a position with an organization that I really believe in. I'm sure the politics are going to be quite interesting. But you can't work with Pinoys without tsismis.
With the transition, I haven't felt like doing very much with my present position. I need to just organize information that whoever is taking over will need. Not sure how to do that but I'm sure I'll think of something. In the past few days, I've managed to do more organizing of my iPod playlists than anything else. Thanks to Jane for leaving the majority of her tunes in the harddrive! :-) I can't say that I'm coming away from Kaplan with a lot of bitterness...maybe a little bit but that would take too much energy that I could use for something else.
About an hour after I had gotten home tonight, Joe came and picked me up to attend a fashion show Arrian & Diane invited us to. It was in an art gallery in Studio City near Laurel Canyon & Topanga. It was quite interesting hanging out with the higher end arts fartsy crowd. We're more used to the community/grassroots arts fartsy crowd. I don't think either of us were "super fashionable" for the event but I didn't care. I wear what I like whenever I wish. If I'm not in the mood then so be it. I did manage to spot a painting I wanted to purchase. Too bad the pretty canvas was about $14,000. :-( It was a painting of a Flamenco dancer who was standing with one arm in the air and the other turned down towards the floor, each holding a corner of a shawl that she had just flung into the air. I was more enthralled in the movement of the shawl. It had flowers on it and tassles on the end, which added to its fluidity. The dancer looked too perfect, too statuesque, very unrealistic. The only real things on here were her hands. The painter managed to put the detail in her hands, showing how her fingers were tightened to keep the shawl from escaping them. The dress was the traditional red, with the ruffles at the bottom. The dancers face was flawless, like magazine pictures of models that have been Photoshop-ed. I'm not so sure the point of the painting showed through. I wasn't sure if the painter was emphasizing the dancer's stance, the movement of the shawl or her fingers. But then again, art is a person's perception. So I'm just going to continue to perceive my own thoughts.
We decided to go check out the hip hop "club" that was happening in Northridge afterwards, yes Northridge. It ended up being at some seedy looking joint on Parthenia and Nordhoff. Um...no. We didn't even dare go in. I saw a ton of rice rockets (yes, I do have to use the phrase...sorry to all those who think it's politically incorrect) and decided against getting out of the car. We could hear the music bumping from the place but wasn't too impressed. It was back home after that.
So now I'm sitting here trying to get my thoughts out and the time is flying. Thank goodness it's Friday. I've been waiting for the weekend since Monday. Think I'll play sick on Monday. :-)

Down with technology! - Pt. 2
What the hell was Apple thinking releasing their damn version of Itunes! I've been trying to connect my Ipod to my computer all day and each time Itunes freezes as it tries to recognize the freakin' ipod and I have to restart my damn computer. My poor baby has been restarted so many damn times today. I went on Apple's website to see if there are any solutions that have been posted by Apple Support. How convenient that the one they posted doesn't work for all users! I even went on some of the forums on Apple's site and found that I wasn't the only one having the same problem with the Itunes update. I think I'll just inundate Apple's feedback messages until they send out a correction for the damn problem. Mofos!
Another Great Has Passed
Just found out that Ossie Davis passed away earlier this month. He and his wife were deeply involved with civil rights issues aside from their acting careers. He was one of the few actors that I really admire for his work on and off the screen. May his soul continue to live on and may his memory continue to inspire all to fight for equality and social justice.

A weekend in the NW
My family is absolutely nuts! Take away the parentals and it get's even crazier! Despite the freezing temperatures, it was a wonderful weekend in the NW.
We got in a few days early and stayed with Dominique. It wasn't as cold as I had expected when we first got there. For some reason, Joe was still stuck in SoCal mode and decided not to take a coat with him when we went out after we had arrived at Dom's. This boy has got to stop thinking it's supposed to feel like SoCal weather everywhere he goes. He and I went touring around the university district and checked out UW. We were also able to walk around the International District, Pike's Market, the retail core and the Seattle Center. I have to say, the Space Needle is completely overrated. I refused to pay $12 to go up to the observatory, take a look at Seattle and Canada, probably for a good 15 min. and then come back down....um...no!
Had a little moment at the Wing Luke Museum. I didn't think I was going to be as moved as I was. There was an exhibit of the Japanese internment camps where one was able to walk through a small version of a bunk. The entire time I kept thinking how cruel we, as a society, can be. We let our fears take over and all our logic goes out the windows. And for those in places of power, sometimes they know they can get away with anything if they exploit their influence on people's fears.
I think I could spend two years there if I were accepted into UW's Urban Planning graduate program. The advisor I met with was pretty helpful and gave some insight to other programs available on the West Coast. It's a relatively small program so I wouldn't have to worry about getting lost in the numbers. There was this one building near their quad that looked like it was used as a cathedral at one point. It was like you were looking at a picture and trying to decide what didn't fit in the view.
It was over after we got together with il familia. The festivities began with being awestruck by Raster's cross-eyes or lazy eyes, whichever way you want to see it. HA! Poor cat...we were making fun of her all weekend. She was pretty chill and is my current desktop picture. She was probably the only sober one out of all of us the entire weekend.
Here's a view from the Bunnuelos Ranch.
Here's Raster in all her disco glory.
The party on Saturday was supposed to be a costume one. I had been too busy all week to think of one so one of my cousins had the idea of putting me in one of the sari's she had purchased on one of her trips. Though I enjoyed wearing something so beautiful for a bit, I kind of felt odd wearing it, especially since she and I were somewhat limited in our knowledge of how to wrap it. After a few more people showed up with saris, it was time for me to take it off. I just felt really odd wearing it. It was almost as if I was exotifying the practice of it. I know it's similar to when non-Pinoys wear barong tagalogs and such so I go back and forth with this thought.
The whole trip was an eating fest. I hadn't realized how much my cocousins and I had become such foodies. On Sunday, we had a Japanese spread that riveled any dinner I've had at a Japanese restaurant.
That there on the top left of the picture is my favorite yaki dish in the world - unagi! Manong Bong & John were awesome! And we continued to talk about food even after we sat down for the meal. The tapas dishes at the party were pretty damn good, too! We'd revert to talking about things that happened the last time we all got together to have a party at the Bunnuelos Ranch. All our parents kept bugging us because they didn't think there was enough food for everyone. Just goes to show that we can have our own successful parties our own way.
We topped off the trip with the Holy Grail....never again!
All came to an end as Manang Juzen drove me to the airport on Monday afternoon. It was an amazing flight into San Francisco. I hadn't realized how much I missed seeing the vistas of that city. It was absolutely amazing. There were billowing clouds sitting on top of The City and was completely clear as we touched down at SFO. Figures it would be clear south of The city. I remembered how much I despised the cloud-cover. Ah...part of The City's charm.
In retrospect, it was one of the best weekend I had spent with my family for quite some time. It didn't even compare to Christmas. Can't wait to get together with those fools again.
