Outback Steakhouse
Natalie and I owed my aunt, who's Natalie's mom a birthday dinner. We split the check between us. I'm slightly crying, but it felt good paying. Went to Ross due to the 40 minute waiting time.

Seattle, Last Day: Departure
Days 4(Jun. 15) and 5(Jun. 16) were all taken with my film camera, Canon A-1 SLR. I haven't scanned them yet, so bare with me.

My trip in Seattle was splendid. Seattle treated me well and I would love to visit again in the future. The flight home was quick and interesting. Sat next to a religious man and he preached 'bout God, but his up bringing was interesting. Plus, he used to live in the Coachella Valley. Interesting chizz.

Tyler, Cody, Carlos, Krystina and I think Gabe came over during the evening. Good way to end a trip. And I gave 'em their gifts.

Jun. 14, 2011

Seattle, Day 3: Space Needle
Mall with aunt's friend then Natalie and I got to celebrate our birthday at the Space Needle for dinner:

Sky City Restaurant
Space Needle
400 Broad Street
Seattle, WA 98109


Did you know the floor in the Space Needle rotates? Well, it does. People eating within the restaurant placed notes on the window sill for others to interact with. Damn good fun.

Jun. 13, 2011

Seattle, Day 2: Downtown Seattle
Rent-a-Car from Hertz. Drove 'bout 20 minutes to downtown Seattle. Ate lunch at Thoa's:

Thoa's Restaurant & Lounge
96 Union Street
Seattle, WA 98101

A Vietnamese cuisine. I got some bomb ass Kobe patty with gravy and rice. DAMNGOOD, I still fantasize 'bout it. Went to a fisherman's market called Pike Place. Great stores and the energy is great. Tried some free tea. Then Capitol Hill where I am sure they have Pride there. Found nice thrift stores. Headed home, but took a detour to the Westfield in Seattle. It's GODDAMN HUGE. Three stories high, we barely walked the whole thing.

Jun. 12, 2011

Seattle, Day 1: Arrival
Palm Springs Airport to Sea-Tac Airport in Seattle. Flight was slightly tiring. Aunt's friend came to pick us up. Went to dinner at Chandler's Crabhouse:

Chandler's Cove, South Lake Union
901 Fairview Ave. North
Seattle, WA 98109

Their daughter, Meghan, was adorable and it made us miss my baby sis, Kyle. Good chill evening as a start off to our trip. High point? The city stays light 'til 10PM! It's pretty damn great, hah.

Muther fuckin' Los Angeles!
Slept over at Cody's casa with Tyler and Carlos. I was the designated driver to LA. Spent ages finding a place for parking. We ended up just going to a few places. Good Will and Amoeba. Afterwords we left LA and headed for Cabazon. Running on two hours of sleep was extremely tiring. NOTE TO SELF: GPS would definitely make getting around easier. Not be so tight on cash.

Highlight of the day: We met Charlyne Yi from the movie Paper Heart, in front of Good Will from asking her directions. Down side? We realized it once she left.

May 25, 2011

I started off the day just having a one-on-one with Carlos, but eventually met up with Tyler and Jeremy for Encore Night at LQHS. Afterwards, Katy and Jenni joined us to Carlos' casa followed by Cody. By the end of the night we settled to buy some snacks at Wal-Mart and all went to my house. Not much pictures to show, but definitely better than none.

New Items

Palladium Boots came in today and my two books I bought yesterday. LIFE Magazine's most memorable photographs that came with 25 prints and Yakuza Moon.

Jun. 09, 2011

McDonald's with Tyler and Carlos. Cody met up later in the evening. Nothing too exciting, but decent day.

Seattle the Lizard!

Jun. 11, 2011
About a week or so ago, before my Seattle trip came a lizard crawling and taking shelter throughout my home. I caught him with much difficulty due to my pansy-ness, but I got him! Named him Seattle after my soon-to-be trip and let him go about an hour later because he clearly needed nature in his life. Plus, Kyle is too aggressive since it was her first pet and her only instinct was to shake the jar Seattle was in. Tsk, tsk Kyle. Well enjoy!

May 23, 2011

During the morning Carlos, Jenni, and I surprised Cody that Jenni was back in town. Went to In n Out because Jenni's been deprived.

A day I tried out strobes in photo class.
My friend Chris volunteered to be the model.

Skipped class and ventured to Red Robin with Ashley, Alexis, Dianna, Desirea, Gabe, and Krystina.

Converse Ad

One of my recent activities in my photography class is to produce a legit ad for a product. I had two choices for product ad, black on black or white on white. Natalie had the perfect pair of all white converse, new and ready to go so I borrowed 'em.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own CONVERSE(shoe company).
This is simply a school assignment.

BYOC(Bring your own camera) Party

"Be the photographer you always wanted to be. Shoot models. On a professional set. With lights."
Says the flier.

I was lucky enough to get in front when Beverly Johnson appeared.
My best shots:

Mar. 04, 2011

If I recall correctly, I ditched class to have breakfast with Katy at IHOP, then later in the day, I hung with Tyler and Jeremy.

These photos are so hipster, I am in love.
My photos are quite bad these days, so I apologize for how little I have been posting. Plus, I am about one and a half weeks to two weeks behind.

Date Festival 2011

Feb. 27, 2011
Last day of the Date Festival--
I went with Cody, Carlos, and Natalie. Days objective: Eat everything and gain an approx. of 100lbs. I'd say it was a successful night. 

Androgyny should be embraced.

There is something in me that feels strongly for the subject of androgyny-- to look like a man and a woman all at once. To be able to look feminine, but also masculine. I feel it is best to embrace yourself to be androgynous. It's a thrill-- a rush for me. Throughout my lifetime, I've always wanted to be born male, but in these past years, I've learned to embrace both my mentality of wanting to be male and the gender I was born to be, a female. Days engulfed in boredom are usually the days in which I cross dress in the comforts of my own home. I have no shame because it's rather fun and amusing. I used to dress masculine, but my outer appearances have changed a bit. Some days I can clearly be seen as a female and other days can be iffy. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." That's what they say and to me, androgyny brings the beauty you never knew you even possessed.

Ash-sha-lay!

Ugh, lately, my photography mojo have been down. I need to get myself out of this slump.

Food Find's Walk for Hunger

Jan. 29, 2011
The charity event I volunteered for, but I failed to come through with the photos on time. It's disappointing, but I'll most definitely not fuck it up for my future events. I worked my ass off, so I am very proud of these photos-- just not how it ended is all. Well enjoy!
