Coward

I think this maybe random but I'm just not a fan of people that feel they need to shut someone out. Going as far as deleting things that would be associated with that person or a phone number change. In my opinion I rather not have issues go unresolved like that, I would confront and deal with problems and don't cower away from it. The only time I would suggest drastic steps like that is if your life was in danger but other than that... Stop running away from your problems like that, suck it up.

You might have been hurt temporarily but just deal, live your life don't dwell on the past move on...

Vlogging Virgin... Be nice... I'm a Mess!

Oh man, such an epic fail... first time doing this, I'm a vlogging virgin and it shows. I don't know if I'll continue doing this... I don't even know if I'll keep this posted I might end up deleting after a while. Please comment and tell me what you think and if I should continue what do I freaking talk about? AHH!

Finally 3g in Des Moines, IA!

Finally! Des Moines is seriously like the last to get AT&T's 3g network (Well it seems like it) Now faster web browsing on my iPhone! Good DEAL!

I don't know... Let's stop this consistancy! I need advancements!

Broke my iPhone over the weekend... (Supposedly I threw it at a car...) I was really really drunk, I'm embarrassed for anything I did... I completely don't remember, but what I've been told, I'm sorry for whoever was offended and whoever was in my way of my drunken wrath. I know it's a bad night when I wake up naked in my bed, whole hand was bleeding and there's unflushed vomit in the toilet (Thank god I made it to the toilet!)



Either way... This just gaves me an excuse to get the new 3G iPhone that surprisingly I didn't get the day of the release. I actually got the white iPhone the very next day. Someone help me with my damn expenses, I just can't stop myself sometimes.



Another thing... I think I'm at a stage again where I hate my job (once again) I go in and out of this stage continuously and for some reason I can't just get myself to leave. I seriously go into work whenever I want and leave whenever I want. I basically feel like I'm wasting my time. They have stopped given me any new responsibilities. All the people that I try to assist are just complete dumbasses, I'm surprised that we hire some of these people for technical support. Today I took a 3 hour lunch and no one has seem to questioned me about it. I know people would love to have my position of not going on phones and all of your bosses don't give a damn what you do, but as I do this everyday I lose more and more motivation to keep up what I'm there for. I think I need to talk to someone about this, I mean I know I'm better than this.

I kind of want some attention there...
I feel like I'm at a complete lost...
I feel my time is just getting wasted when I can get more from it...
I'm walking a flat road with no more mountains to move to higher ground...
I basically want people to need me.

Wedding

So I was a groomsman at a wedding recently and they all wanted the wedding party to say something in the reception (total last minute decision!)... I get nervous talking in front of a crowd, I only did well in Speech class because I knew everyone in the class. For this occasion in my head I thought, weddings are suppose to be cheesy, so the cheesier the better... Also I don't really know them all too well, so I also thought that cheese was being on the safe side, anyway I think it went in the lines of this...

"I like say congrats to the newly weds... I don't know you guys as well as these other people here but the time I've known you, you've always been affectionate and loving towards each other... (HAHA god I make myself sick...) I can only wish for myself to find a relationship as strong and committed as what you have. (I would like to barf now, If I heard someone else saying this I would seriously consider jumping them) I also would like to personally thank you for having me be a part of your wedding and hope you have a great future together... Cheers!"

I don't think it's exactly word for word, but you got the gist of that, I'm proud of my cheese and I would do that again... haha it was fun making something like that up on the fly...

Changing My Ways...

NOTE: This may be a little long... It's one of those journal entry blogs

I'm making a list to change my ways because I am finding myself very bad with money lately even though I'm making it... I'm JUST making it. I'm going to start with my drinking. I haven't been going out a lot lately but I'm still spending money on drinks, I like drinking a little too much so I'm not going to stop all together I might cut it down to maybe go out once every other week. I'm only going to drink socially too because I do buy a 6pack and drink it all one night and that does get pricey (especially the kind of beer I get).

I think I'm going to cancel my NetFlix... I've been a member for so long and I never take advantage of it, I keep the movies probably 3 months and never watch it, it's because I'm addicted to the Internet so I never set aside time to watch a movie.

I think I may consider moving now, because rent is so high and it's just difficult living where I'm living with the parking, and just getting around. I thought it was a cool idea at first to live downtown having easy access to downtown bars and drinks but I don't think I can do this anymore... Parents' told me many times to just move back home (blah blah) I won't be doing that, for me that's admitting I've failed at going about myself. If I do continue living here I will have to pay for parking because I need a place I can just go to without having to drive around for a while looking for empty meters, and then having to put coins in or leave before 8am when they actually charge... The plus thing about that is that it makes me not call into work for any reasons or I'll get ticketed or towed (which that happens way to much...)

I have been doing this very recently but I want to keep it up. I'm going to try to keep running after work. I'm very self conscious about people seeing me workout so I've been running at my parent's treadmill. I try to get at least a mile a day but I'm going to work a little harder to get more in there. Recently I've been remeasured for my friend's wedding (I'm a groomsman more info here). I've gained some LBs from last year since I've measured, they were talking and saying "Oh it's probably the freshman 15" I felt even worse having to tell them "Thanks but I was a Freshman 6 years ago." Yeah so I'm fat and I gotta lose this weight.

...Which reminds me, Damn I have to buy them a wedding a gift... Any ideas?

Stand Up To Cancer

Stand Up To Cancer

If you know me I had a grandpa that I was really close to that has died by lung cancer in '97 I do think that cancer is one of the worse things anyone could get. It was difficult with my sister taking him to all of his different kinds of therapy and treatments. He got weak so fast, just a couple months before he was diagnosed he was out driving and walking around picking me up from school, then I was there to watch him just deteriorate, can't walk or even feed himself. He later died and it completely change my whole perspective on life...

Just recently my other grandpa (on my dad side) has now been diagnosed with the same cancer and it kills me just thinking I have to go through the same thing again. Cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths and I really do think there should be more research on this...

The link at the top is a great foundation to support cancer research. There going to have a live show tomorrow (09/05/08)8PM ET/PT on NBC, ABC, and CBS. There's no excuse for you not to donate, there's plenty of ways to donate, even if you have a dollar just help out, I did.

Fake Baking...

So yes... That's what I've been doing, I know it's a very superficial thing to do but it's actually relaxing to lay in that warm light, I don't know I have other reasons why I'm going, but I don't feel like sharing that. I thought the whole process is weird you lay in a bed naked for a couple minutes and that's that. I've only went 2 times and my whole torso is burnt! My arms and legs are fine but I feel so uncomfortable when sometimes just putting on a shirt... When does this process stop burning and I'll just tan. I don't usually burn except the time I was in Mexico (that was expected) but man I guess places that don't really see the sun at all just burns like immediately.

Iowa & the State Fair

Of course I've got racist comments everyone has had their share of hate and prejudice remarks... I remember my first encounter was in Elementary school, when kids use to slant their eyes and say "ching chong" to me over and over again. Also they would put me in ESL classes when back then I spoke English better than Taidam. (Which I have to say I can barely speak the language anymore... It's sad but I'll talk about that some other time.) I know Des Moines, IA is growing and we are getting more different races here and there's a lot of ways of celebrating like there's the Asian Festival, Art Festival, Italian Festival, Latino Heritage Fest, etc. There's a lot more but that's just to name a few, people seriously think that just because it's described as that that they will have to be that race to attend. That's not it this is just to let the rest of Iowa to know what we're about how there is more culture out there than what you have in your homes on your TV screens.


The big event that brings almost all of Iowa to Des Moines is the Iowa State Fair, I have to say I'm not a big fan of the State Fair but I usually go at least once to eat something and want my way out. I don't want to hate on the rest of Iowa but there's a lot of ignorance out there. My cousin Rosie (Check out here BLOG!) went and told me about her experience there. She had fun but she just dusted off all the small little comments that were made towards her. Starting off with a group of guys all cheering for "China" when they walked past. She also has a black friend that was with her, while he was throwing something away an old lady grabbed her child near saying to her something in the lines of "I don't want you near that nigger." I was kind of stunned hearing that I felt like it was something from the 1850s or something. This makes me believe I think we should change the State Fair a little providing a little more than just about Iowa Agriculture and Rides.

OMG! RIP Bernie Mac (October 5, 1957 – August 9, 2008) You were hilarious and always made me laugh.

JabbaWockeez and Pepsi

JabbaWockeez has a video on Pepsi Smash! Here's the vid... I'm gonna drink more Pepsi now... haha J/P!.



I'm such a geek for real! Here's my default picture on MySpace... ADD ME!


...I'm sorry that I really have not much to talk about recently if your a continuous reader. I just have nothing really interesting to talk about so I've been all about the America's Best Dance Crew on MTV

Work Is Like Middle School

WOW! So I just got "Tattled On" today at work... There's this new Team Lead that just got "promoted" (I'm not sure if it counts as "Promotion" if you don't get any higher pay with more responsiblites...) Anyway, what has happened was that I was at my desk and there was a hand raised asking for help, he was close to them so I just pointed them out to get them. I guess he wasn't happy with that and thinks I should've got them. He emailed my supervisor (...or I mean he told on the teacher) That I wasn't doing my job. Wow... I'm gonna say it, WHAT A BITCHASS!

Seriously though... If I had an issue with a person I would confront face to face and discuss what I or someone else did wrong. When I first met this kid I really did not like him he came off as being a little stuck up and arrogant, but being the person I am I gave that person another chance thinking he can't be that bad, and I found him not so bad and actually ok to talk to... I don't understand he also added me as a friend on MySpace. So I don't know how that works... I've been out of school for a while, does that mean I'm suppose to delete him from my friends list to show that I don't like him anymore? LOL... So tomorrow at work I'm going to take him aside and talk to him...

OMG ABDC Is Giving Me Minor Heartattacks!

Ok as the weeks gets closer on who's going to be the Next America's Best Dance Crew the voting is way off! This weeks episode (07/24/08) has even really set the judges going crazy. The bottom 2 this week was Super Cr3w and Supreme Soul, last week was Janet Jackson week and I do not believe that Super Cr3w was anywhere near being the bottom! The judges were really upset at America with the voting! Lil' Mama had to even go as far as directing her opinion toward a group "Boogie Bots" saying that "She has never been excited about Boogie Bots" really I think that was kind of rude expressing her opinion like that but I guess she was THAT upset. Last week the bottom 2 were Super Cr3w and A.C.I.I.D. They were my top 2 crews that made me feel worse about America (LOL) I know I'm getting so into the show but it's my little obsession I've had these past months so I'm just ranting... oh well HOPEFULLY SUPER CR3W will win America's Best Dance Crew!

I've Been So DAMN Irresponsible Latey!

I don't know what is up with me lately... I just haven't been myself, I'm usually good at budgeting my money and being good with my belongings, but damn! I'm not getting it in order anymore! My whole irresponsiblity has started with the whole Mexico Trip! I swear that trip has screwed me over so bad I almost regret even going...

I've spent so much money for that trip with buying clothes and some accessories I needed for the trip, getting a passport, and some spending money. Doesn't help that the first night in Mexico I straight up lost my iPhone, and just because of that, that just dampered my whole trip just thinking about it. I didn't really have another phone I can call out to AT&T to suspend the account I just thought I'll do that when I get back... Later in the trip I broke my dad's camera because I feel in the ocean trying to get into this motor boat. (So my dad was real upset about that.)I think I'm not too sure that I left my watch at the hotel there in Mexico too... I'm also upset about that but THANK GOD it wasn't my Movado watch. I haven't told my dad about that because everytime he gives me a watch I usually do tend to lose that...

Coming back I really wanted an iPhone I almost wouldn't settle for less, I mean I do everything with my phone it's like my life it's always attached to me almost, so I decided with my stimulus check from the Gov't I wanted to buy another iPhone... so I've spend another $500 bucks on the phone like in May. As I was going through my bills I went beserk! My AT&T Bill came up to $585.00, I really couldn't pay that off and looking at all the transactions I know I didn't make most of those calls that were racking them up. I called AT&T and said they'll have to submit a ticket to see if they can credit all of those calls since that was way more than can do in that department. I've been pretty good with paying my bills on time but I'm not able to do it on this one for sure. I was just going to pay as much as I could until my service gets shut off that's the only thing I can do... I called back to them and said that I wasn't able to get that credit and all of this shit so I was just thought whatever I'm sick of calling...


I love my parents I have to say, they've helped me so much with all of this when they didn't have to I never really asked them to help me out but they always insisted on helping me, which is a good thing because I almost can't do it. When my monitor broke I was thinking I'll get it next paycheck or something but seriously the computer is everything to me I needed it so I had to ask my parents to get me one and I'll try to get them back... When AT&T finally suspended my account, I paid most of it off but needed like 200 bucks left my parents gave me the money to reactivate the phone. Today I parked at a meter that had a bag on it becuase the next day there's a farmer's market I usually just move it after all the drunks leave downtown but last night I completely forgot about my car and just left it, my car was towed of course. I don't have the money and my parents are there again to help me out... I can't believe them they are the greatest, I might be a little spoiled but it's so good to have that support. They didn't even want me to leave the house they were actually real upset giving me reasons why I would want to leave when everything is paid for. I did just want to try out being by myself see if I can do it... So far it doesn't looks like I'm doing the greatest job, but I'll hopefully get everything in order again.

I Guess I'm "Not Motivated"

So it seems that at work they have dropped me from being a teamlead and back to a regular agent that's suppose to just sit there and take calls all day...

NOTE: If you don't know, I work for an outsourcing company for a Technical Call Center for a Cellphone provider, troubleshooting Blackberry devices.

I've noticed that in the past weeks that they wanted to change things around and kind of go back the way it use to be with the "Team Leads" and have them actual take more part of their position and have more responsiblities. I wasn't asked again to be one, I was wondering why at first I mean I do have the knowledge and I am great to the agents on the floor, I just didn't know what's the reasoning... As you may know I am looking for another job at this time so I really just shrugged it off thinking I'll just be on my way anyway, also I'm use to just being up there at one point and dropping again that what they've been doing to me the whole time I've worked there.

Anyway I guess one of people that were asked denied the position didn't want to be walking the entire time and likes his position of handing out "Tier3 tickets" to other agents to be worked on. (Tier 3 was once a department that we would transfer to after we done our regular troubleshooting with no resolution, now that department is gone so our center decided to take over.) So a supervisor asked if I wanted to fill in the spot. Exactly what I said was, "I don't care, I'll do whatever" I guess that is not what he was looking for. He wanted me to jump up for joy that I was being asked SECOND to be a "Team Lead" he said this "the reason why we didn't ask you is because it doesn't seem you were motivated to be one."

I can't believe this fool, he seriously said that to me? How could one be "motivated" after being in the position I've been in throughout the time I worked there... I know this probably doesn't mean much to you that doesn't work with me... But I've been doing so much side projects and shit for this place (Floor walker, SME, Team Lead, Helpdesk, pulled CSAT reports, basically assisted with pulling in the CDMA project, Writing up parts of a knowledge base we use, TIER3, I've been at position when the whole Blackberry project came to Des Moines.) Yet I'm getting paid the same amount as the people that are just doing their jobs of just sitting on the phones not having to be the best on their quality of Customer Service.

So really I don't care if they decided to make me a Team Lead again or not, I gave him my answer whatever he decides... I just think I'm worth more than this job and it usually just brings me down thinking about it. I was lying in bed before typing this out thinking about it, it's very depressing sometimes...

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

~~~~~~*****OH SECOND THING!
I didn't get a 3G iPhone today... unfortunately AT&T is being an awful company to just the regular individuals users and will not credit me for my lost iPhone roaming charges in Mexico I didn't make and wants me to pay it all... so they cut off my service because I couldn't pay all of it, here's a blog entry all about it...

OH MY F*CK... NO I shouldn't censor myself FUCK!

If anyone out there can help me with this problem that would be great!

So Just watched ABDC tonight! W00T

Super Cr3w FOR REAL ALL THE WAY! Damn these guys are so above everyone else... I need to get one of these shirts for real!

I don't know... Bored

I really have no idea what to say today... It's been so far a real boring summer I guess. All I do is the same crap just go to work go to bed go to work. So the Jury duty thing that I had excused because of the Mexico Trip, came back and it was suppose to be schedule yesterday but I called and said they pushed it back til next week. I mean my god! Just give it to me already I just want to get it over with! UGH!

Oh so I guess the prices for the new 3G iPhone isn't really the prices people that it was going to be... Turns out that the cheaper 199.99(8gb) 299.99(16gb) pricing are for new users or current users that are eligible for an upgrade... BLOWS! They got me excited for those prices for nothing! I can do an early upgrade for the same price as the current iPhone for 399.99(8gb) or 499.99(16gb). So now it looks like I'm going to keep my current iPhone for a while, which I guess isn't too bad because the 3G network isn't even available here in Des Moines, IA yet...

My Plans... GET THE F@CK OUT OF IOWA!

In the next 2 years I am planning on getting the hell out of IOWA! I just don't get it! Iowa is a trap... if you're planning on just living life not wanting to accomplish any goals for yourself, this is definitely the place to be... If you want to make a difference in this world you need to get out! You'll live life just going to school and just living life, living life... no goals just live... "A Great Place to Grow" is right... A Place to make something of yourself is not the motto. I hate this place so much I don't get it! No one gets it! but when you know you have more to accomplish and more to overcome and more to offer to the world... this place is a trap! WTF!? WTF!? Who knows anyone from Iowa that has made it other than being a physical gymnast or whatever that has made it physically instead of knowledge?! If you are wanting to make it officially instead of being a straight 'A' student in Gym you have to leave IOWA! I know you have more to offer to the world and Iowa is not the place to acknowledge your accomplishments or achievements. I understand why even TBoss from TLC hates this place so much, this place thinks they're open-minded but really not! They think they're liberal but NOT! This place is fake! Completely FAKE! There is nothing! We have some great schools but then to use that knowledge you get you'll have to leave to use that knowledge! I hate this place so much that I almost want to cry because I'm here! I feel like this place is just a waste of time and NOTHING can be achieved here! My sister has made the move out of this place and even though she can't do it financially... In my mind I feel like she has accomplished SO MUCH! That she in the position to almost change the world... It's so far fetch but living in Iowa has made me realize that this place is SHIT and a complete waste of TIME. Don't try to influence me... I've lost any positive thoughts of this place... Maybe if I can make something for myself I'll try to change this place... but I know I can do more and leaving Iowa is the first step... I just need that kick in the ass to help me get the hell out!

America's Best Dance CR3W! My Favorite Revealed...

Okay everyone! Thursday June 19, 2008 America's Best Dance Crew season 2 premiered with all the top crews' perform to their choice of song and style. Everyone overall were okay... I felt they all kind of played it a little safe to me and they are being to comfortable in what they do...

Top 5 in votes:
SoReal Cru
Supreme Soul
Xtreme Dance Force
A.S.I.I.D.
Boogie Bots


The SoReal Cru is just like Kaba Modern from the first season but is actually losing a little of personal style, dance style is crazy but image-wise I like Kaba Modern better because they seem to be different from each other a little like how one guy is kind of Emo looking, one very hip-hop, one kind of on the norm. The girls one is a little promiscuous, one is more conservative, and one is super cute. SoReal Cru even has a girl in the group where her parents don't approve of her dancing. That makes me hate asian parents a little, why must you never be happy for us unless we're like doctors or something. Anyway they weren't bad they were pretty good they're definately going to stay pretty far in the competition

Next up was the Supreme Soul, these dudes came off very cocky right off the bat from the audition. They completely name dropped the JabbaWockeez the whole time how they battled them before, even though they lost to them. Either way I thought they were ok not too impressed for thinking they were up to par of the JabbaWockeez the judges didn't think much of them this night either.

Xtreme Dance Force... WOW "That was wack!" -Shane Sparks
Agreed sir, those steps were just plain. Boy Band group needs to be out!


A.C.I.I.D. is next and they were awesome! I really like their crew and I hope they make it pretty far. I cannot believe that one of them is deaf that is ridiculous how does he know when to move and how to move without the music?! I love how the rest of the crew just gives him so much respect and how they support each other I'm like a sucker for these people's stories I fall right into them... Whatever they were dope!

Boogie Bots was good nothing too great but it's all right, I just thought they could've made it a little harder and worked it better but it was good it wasn't bad at all, it was enough to be safe for the next week, it was good.

Bottom 5 in votes:
Super CR3W
Phresh Select
Sass X7
Fanny Pak
Distorted X


Super CR3W has killed this performance! They came out dressing in ninja gear and just totally pop locked that routine, it was ridiculous! They really pulled this one off and really showed what they can do. Like, what was that? I was watching a whole different level than the crews before and they were at the bottom half?


Phresh Select... to be honest they were good, it was better than Boogie Bots I thought and definitely better than Xtreme Dance Force. I like how they did friggin Boyz II Men since they're from Philly. LOL! It was fun, they did an awesome dance trick and didn't mess up. Their story was nice too how they try to do this dance stuff for the their neighborhood how there's a lot of mess going down there and try to get kids to aim in the right direction. I love people like that there needs to be more of positive people out there.

Sass X7, this group is broke, they're nothing but a cheerleading squad. I don't get it, this is not the competition for them... they just look like cheerleaders they were not for this. If this was a cheerleading competition then they're awesome but not for this they need to be out I don't get it. I want them out... SUCKS sorry...

Fanny Pak oh CRAP this group is so HollyWood! They're all in 80s attire very flashy and trendy, clothes are just loud! This crew though can actually dance they put something really completely different than the other crews in this show. It's crazy and their movements are good and they're an awesome crew that is at the bottom 2 that could be going home. Distorted X is also at the bottom and this group is very girly I have to say even though there's 2 guys in the group they dance very feminine so I think you can almost say they're the other all girl band. They were pretty good I have to say I'm very upset that they too were in the bottom 2. I think some of the other crews at the top should have been at the bottom because it was a good battle between the 2. Fanny Pak of course moved forward because their performance was better but still Distored X was still good too...


I have to say I think America voted them at the bottom because they can't accept "openness." They were a lot different... but they had talent they had a reason to be on the show unlike some of the other crews. I know they weren't going to win the show but they had a little more staying power than some of the others. I don't know.

RIGHT NOW... I am rooting for Super CR3W! They were ridiculous! I love them... NOTHING TO THE JABBAWOCKEEZ! But yes I love them! They're gonna win just like how I called the JabbaWockeez were gonna win! Here's a clip of that Super CR3W Performance.


If this video is removed from VIACOM, Just YouTube Search: Super Cr3w.

Could I say that Layla Kayleigh is such an awesome chick? She always seems to be so involved with the dancers and actually sounds like she cares for them when they get kicked off and really feel like she's there supporting them. I like her she looks good and it doesn't help that she has an Brittish accent that makes me like her a lot more!

Doin the Hand Jive

So my friend posted this video on YouTube of some of us doing the handjive during Madonna's song "4 minutes" I like in the tags it has "fat asian" yep that's me in the JabbaWockeez shirt... god how broke is this video?

Des Moines, IA Flood of '08

I didn't really want to blog about the flood here we're having here in Iowa, but I guess it's happening and I can't really think of what to type about tonight and I just wanted to post something... Sorry in advance for not really having the best coverage but it's just going to be about me in this situation and not so much about how others are experiencing it. So as some may know I do live downtown Des Moines not too far away from the Des Moines River, Tuesday June 10, 2008 I took some laundry and brought it to my parents' house and just decided to spend the night there since all we heard this week on the news that flooding will occur. Wednesday June 11, 2008 I just went to work like a normal day and it was raining pretty hard, I got a call from a friend saying that Court Avenue's flooded and sent me some pictures via MMS on his phone...


Picture shot by Joseph Mireles
I guess I didn't know how to respond it wasn't far away from my apartment... It's not like I'm worried for my things because I live on the 3rd floor, our city would have to be in some major disaster to reach up there. I just made plans to check it out after work. When I got down there though Court Avenue was all dried up so we just checked out the river and see how high it was... here some pictures (Sorry for the quality of the pics they're shot on my mobile phone.)







I most likely will have more updates on this as it gets worse... oh and water levels are higher than these pictures today... So the water is rising. There's a great website someone I'm following on twitter giving updates on the flood we're having.

Oh hey! Isn't that sad about Tim Russert? He always seems like such a nice, intelligent, professional man that doesn't ever seem to pick sides. NBC lost a good political news journalist.

Miley Mandy VS. Adam/Chu Dance Crew on YouTube!

Wow have you all been keeping up with this? I've never watched the Miley and Mandy show ever but I heard about this online Dance Battle and was intrigued by the whole thing... It's actually quite interesting and I've laughed my ass off when seeing all the people that are involved in this, people from Lindsay Lohan, Adam Sandler, Chris Brown, just to name a few... I know it's all in fun and greatest thing is that the ACDC Crew are actually selling their shirt and all the money is going to a charity for Invisible Children. I don't want to be that person but shouldn't rich little Miley Cyrus kind of do the same thing with her shirts? You can find more information from their YouTube Channels I'll post at the end but I'll also post some of their videos here...

Starts by The Adam/Chu Dance Crew Challenges Miley and Mandy.

Miley and Mandy retaliates...

Ok... now this is just ridiculous and all these other celebrities came out to fight against the Miley and Mandy Cru... OH YEAH AND THEY HAVE THE FREAKING JABBAWOCKEEZ!!! W00T! It's over no way of coming back with the damn JabbaWockeez Representing on the ACDC side!

So Miley and Mandy comes back with a lot of goofy celebs on her video but it's hilarious... I think they're gonna do another video so...

Speaking of the JabbaWockeez... You all catch the new Live Audition show of America's Best Dance Crew? Not really impressed with the crew that showed up on this season but come on no one can come close to what the JabbaWockeez brought to the show the first season... Here's a link to the video of the JabbaWockeez came back to do one performance at the end of the Audition show, for some reason the uploader didn't allow to display the embedded html code for it but I'll link it...

Today's Apple Keynote (06/09/08) 3g iPhone... Not Impressed...

So today was suppose to be the big day to announce if all rumors are true about the up and coming release of a new 3g iPhone... Well it started them just talking about the new software upgrade on the iPhone 2.0 software and how it works with exchange, how they are welcoming 3rd party applications to be download via iTunes, and gave examples of games and possiblities of what you can do with the hardware of the iPhone.


(I may get geeky... we'll see)
If you're an individual you can purchase 'MobileMe' which what it looks to me is almost like an online sort of outlook web access that the device synchronizes to and it cost 100 bucks a year which I don't think it's too bad but if you're paying for all other services I guess it could be a little much... I do with the Blackberry and depending on your carrier blackberry plan comes with unlimited internet and BIS email usually around 30 dollars. People can argue how much they want but I think the browsing on the iPhone looks really good likes like a real desktop while the blackberry browser will compress it down to fit on to the screen and doesn't sort the images nicely to view. Blackberry does not sync calendar, address book, task and memopad wirelessly... UNLESS your main email is Gmail that they have their own application to sync wirelessly when you tell it to.


MobileMe how it's suppose to work is have an online organizer you put in your information and it synchronizes your email, address book, calendar, no memopad or task. It's suppose to be a constant push to your iPhone if you add info in address book it should work to update on the internet organizer which also updates on your outlook or Mac applications (Mail, Address Book, iCal) on your desktop. Even cooler MobileMe has this interesting application where you can store your pictures on to share with friends and family if you take an interesting pictures on your iPhone you can upload it to your MobileMe account and share it that way. MobileMe is $100 a year which is like 8.50-ish a month if you put it that way, basic AT&T iPhone plan is $20.00 so roughly $30.00 as well.

(Let's go back to the iPhone and keynote...)
So... The biggest update is that they added 3g to the device the front looks exactly the same the back is going to be all plastic in black or in the 16gb model you can get it also in white. They also put in real GPS into the phone as well, no more finding you like (I think you are around this area, if not I'm probably 5 blocks off...) For me it's all like why didn't you do this before? 3g that's already in a lot of other AT&T phones and GPS which is also in a lot of smartphones out there... THE PRICE IS WHAT BUGS ME~! I think all you readers know that I lost my original 8GB iPhone that I purchased the day of the release in my Mexico trip a month ago... I love the iPhone so damn much that I had to get a replacement and I went with the 16GB instead... Love it, but that was only a month ago and I paid the full $499.99 for the phone and now Apple! Ooooh Apple! You have lowered these prices on me for the 8gb model it's $199.99 and for the 16gb it's $299.99... I paid $199.99 more for an outdated model! I hope when they release it July 11 that they can cut me a break or something... I really want the newer one I need to get rid of current one somehow... any suggestions? I don't think I'll may much on Ebay since the new one will be much cheaper... Maybe it'll be just a backup MP3 Player or something... my god what a waste.


I'm still disappointed because they are still missing some basic features that's on most mobile phones that they haven't done with the software upgrade or on the new model phone... Still no MMS option or forwarding a text message. No video recording on the phone as well, no upgrade to the camera pixels or any included flash? I thought if they were going to build a new device that they would also step up the flash memory to 32gb as well... Still some features of "Why didn't they do this before?" not on this release, but maybe another software upgrade to do those features because it's nothing with hardware for that... I don't think we should have to pay for a 3rd party application to record video on the phone, that's almost standard on a lot of phones out there.

Here's the new 3G iPhone ad, if you haven't seen it already...

No More sXePhil? No way!

OMG DUDE! This is not real could it? For people that know me I'm like obsessed with YouTube. While there are a lot of people claim they YouTube all they go there for is just random videos that entertain them for a while. I'm a person that subscribe to channels that actually go there supporting the people that put on a show that produces their media to everyone for them to be noticed and make something out of it.

I watch this guy all the time I subscribe to him on YouTube just listening to his rants on politics and other current news even on some of his issues I don't agree with I do admire his opinions. I think this guy is one of the most daring person out there on the Internet and he's totally cutting people off from what he brought to YouTube. Please Phil you can't just stop out of no where you're still hot people want more from ya! Let's hope that this is just a joke and we will all continuing to be "Phil'ed In."

Hmm... Looking Back on my Entries

I was just browsing through my past blog entries and realized how immature I was on a lot of them... I swore and complained a lot about how unsettling my life has been... It's funny because it seems like I don't even go through what I wrote a second time to edit it or think about if something I wrote up would affect me in any way. I guess I really made a disclaimer for myself in the 'about me' section that whatever I say I just meant it at the time and to not take it serious... speaking of...

So if you're following me on twitter that's great! But I guess I made an update that sounded pretty 'EMO' I was just trying to express myself how much I hate working at the place I'm at saying that I just want to get out of there and I rather cut myself or something... I guess people were worried about me saying those things that they literally was freaking out trying to give me a call or direct messaging me... Here's my excuse for not picking up the phone or direct messaging back... I was walking the floor at work assisting other agents. If you work at my job for some reason coverage on the floor is awful (ironic because we're a call center for a cellphone provider) I wasn't in front of a computer with twitter and my phone updates I don't acknowledge all the time because I get tons of update via text on twitter. Someone thought to go to the extreme to call my boss to check up on me... Wow, I don't know what to think about that, I'll be honest I was little embarrassed about it but whatever I'll get over it... I'm not crazy though I'm completely stable... that brings me to another subject...

I have a person who is being a little weird, this person is always suggesting that they're depressed, having relationship issues or whatever but... I don't know I think they're just doing it for attention not because of depression... They cut themselves but is completely open about cutting... So they're just telling the world I'm crazy give me attention I need it bad. I really don't have much experience with this at all but I was aware that people that are depressed are not ok to share this or share the fact they cut themselves they would totally be closed off and not express themselves in any way. I don't know whatever if I believe it was a serious thing I would say something but I really don't so I'll just have it as is... I don't know I guess some you guys can comment on what you think about that or anything really, I do read all comments so feel free to do so (you do not have to register to create a comment)

Online Addictions

It's no secret, I am completely obsessed with the Internet. Everything that you can find I probably have seen it or at least heard about it. I'm on MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, etc. I subscribe to many YouTubers famous Youtubers such as Smosh, sXePhil, HappySlip, iJustine, KevJumba, NigaHiga, WhatTheBuck, HotForWords, EsmeeDenters... just to name a few. I think my obsession started with following iJustine around. I was starting to really get into Apple Products and everytime I Googled anything or searched anything she would somehow appear on the search. This chick is obsessed with Apple and Steve Jobs and anything that has to do with Apple. She's interesting and everything she advertises or recommend I'll take her word for it...

The craziest Internet Craze for me is the website Twitter. It's completely ridiculous, it's seriously just a stalker website that YOU allow for people to stalk you, you broadcast "what you're doing" and people if they choose will get your updates via their website or even on their mobile phone...

What I've been doing thanks to Twitter is BLOGTV crazy website that people would broadcast live of themselves just answering questions or anything they want to do for an hour or however long they decide to stay on... A lot of the people I watch on YouTube also broadcast live there and I just get a little more out of these people instead of seeing them recorded and edited footage they post on YouTube... It's more personal and just fun to just know that at exactly what they're doing while I'm bored at home they're just talking to the world. It's creepy I actually want to buy a webcam to perhaps do that in the future... I don't know if I'm brave enough to do that I'll probably get my cousin to join with me and see what we can do with the show...

Here's a video from OlgaKay that she made about her online Addiction... I totally feel her dude! I am on the same exact boat and seat with her...

David Cook won American Idol 7!

Congrats to David Cook winning American Idol this year! I was rooting for him from the start (check my past blog entries) while everyone kept saying how "cute" little David Archuleta was. Yeah David Archuleta had a great voice and probably could have ran with that cute image for a while David Cook was the real talent and was different than your pop singers that they usually have on the show. Here's a video he sang on the night before he won singing U2's 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'


This video will probably be removed from YouTube soon, so if you can't play it you missed out!

Mexico Trip (Part Five): Beach

I don't really feel like typing but here's a small video of the beach we were at on the Friday (05/02/08). I'll do more blogging but today I'm not into it

OH MY F*CK... NO I shouldn't censor myself FUCK!

So uhmmm... You know how I told you all about my lost phone in Mexico trip the first night I was there? Well I got my phone bill and guess how much my bill came out to be... I'll just show you some screenshots of my bill... click the image to get the full image! FUCK YOU AT&T!



586.77!!!! 586.77!!! That is completely ridiculous, I know I was suppose to call them right as I lost the phone, but I was in Mexico on a trip and I didn't want to deal with that and it really wasn't easy getting the number to AT&T to suspend my phone when I'm on a Sprint Business Trip. So I lost my phone like on 04/30/08 around 8-9ish and here are the changes on my bill... Oh and I'm going to show you the numbers dialed, beside my numbers because who the hell am I going to call in Mexico and San Diego... I have no one I know living in those areas!





The line on the last one is where it's about the time I lost the phone... I think it might be a little lower too... Like seriously how the hell does this dude put close to 8MB of downloading on one session of browsing on my phone? I don't think I do that regularly! I'm annoyed I know I know I shouldn't called AT&T right as I lost it but I wasn't thinking correctly the whole trip... I just thought it could be returned back to the hotel and everything will be fine... NOPE didn't show up (of course) That's why I'm usually never optimistic I hate thinking that way, the world screws you over and good things usually don't always happen to good people.

When I got back from Mexico, the next day Monday (05/05/08) I called to report it stolen... They suspended my account, that was easy yeah whatever... I called again I think Tuesday to activate an old phone I had laying around said they're not able to use my old sim because once it's deactivated it's deactivated and I'll have to go to an AT&T store to get one for free... I just thought whatever I rather just wait to get my stimulas check to get me another iPhone because really... I love that phone that has been part of me so long and it's just great. Wednesday I got my money and reactivated the phone and purchased the iPhone for 599.99 (less than what I paid for, for my 8gb phone because I purchased that on the first day) and activate it through iTunes that I have done previously with my last phone. Got an email saying my AT&T bill is ready... didn't check it til tonight (05/12/08) or midnight I guess... I was SHOCKED~!! SHOCKED!!! How much my bill was it's higher than what I paid the damn phone for!

I called AT&T just a little bit ago and explain my issue and the agent (Sheila) was saying that she can only credit me 200 bucks for courtesy... yeah right, that's ridiculous, that's still almost 400 bucks I have to still pay them and the charges are even more than that... I really didn't want to escalate the call to the supervisor but I need help I can't pay this bill, I waited probably 10 minutes for the supervisor (Louis) to come on, I explained the issue all he said that he can do is send some kind of investigation ticket to the "lost and stolen" department or whatever and they'll get back to me usually within 30 days... 30 days? But my payment is due on the 28th... I have great credit ya'll I have never paid any of my bills late ever. I hope they get back to me before that date... This sucks! I shouldn've asked for some kind of retentions department, they know they got me locked on a contract... and I can't threaten to go somewhere else if I have this damn iPhone because no other service provider has it... I better get my way when they contact me again!
