"Cuz Google This!"

wondering....

2009-07-29T23:14:00.002-06:00

i've been wondering for the past couple of days. what was it that screwed it up? was it just not the right timing? i don't know. i always believed that faith put two people together. so if we met in the wrong place during the wrong time, then why did something so magical happen?

deep in my mind, i can't help but wonder - was it someone else? i've never visited your work place, i never truly got to know your place of work or who you hanged out with after you got your new job. yet i trusted you when you said "no". but now my mind is in a wondering type of mode and it just makes me think like that.

i wondered if i could have done something different. if so, what? i never truly knew what was on your mind, i always wanted to know because if i don't know, how can i help you?

sometimes i wondered, why don't you talk to me about what you think? the reply all the time was "i don't know". and i always wondered why? why is it that those are always your words of response to my questions?

3 years, yet we've never been that 'together' out of those 3 years. yet, we were close. at least i felt that way about you. i felt that i knew you and that i knew how it was going to be and how i was going to bring something to your life. yet, i didn't except that. i was wrong in the end. maybe i always were?

a friend raised the question - what it the right thing for you to do? i wonder and ponder that question all day and night now. i wonder if it was the right thing to do. if i had just kept my mouth shut, pretended that the discussion was over before the ride home, things would have been the way that it was.

calling you after work, talking to you on the phone, making fun of you and you make fun of me. stupid jokes, funny jokes, unfunny jokes.... it would have been the same and like old times. hanging out with you. a movie with you. dinner and lunch with you. it would have been the same. so was it the right decision? did i make the right choice that day, in the cool sunny field.

i will always be wondering....

good time and bad days

2009-07-26T21:36:00.002-06:00

to that person -

first of all i just want to say that for the past 3 years or so, you have been my world. i really cared about you and your life. i wanted to be the person that made you smile and the person that you can talk to when times are tough and rough. i guess those days are over. today was one of the happiest and sadist days of my life, because today was the day that i got to hang out with you and it was also the day that we laugh, cried, and got mad and angry at each other.

i never knew what you had on your mind and i know that sometimes, you felt some pressure from me. and for that i'm truly sorry. sorry to have you feel that way and sorry that i should have known better.

i just want to say that for the 3 years that we've been together, it was a blast, it was fun, it was surreal. i wish today never happened, but i also wished today had happen because it was the only way for the two of us to move on with our lives.

i just want to let you know that in my heart, there is a place for you, always. i loved you with all my heart. my heart is broken because of what happened, yes, i am a bit mad as well, but i guess that is just life. however, i will also cherish the moments when we had the good times, those were golden memories, and in my mind, i never forget a single detail and i'll never truly forget you.

i will also wonder what would have been or what could have happened from today forward. i hope that you will be the best person that you can be, you said that i was wonderful and great. well, i hope you find someone that is more wonderful and more great than i was. i just wished that one person.... would have been me.

i want to say your name but unfortunately, i can't, and i understand, i still care and love you with my heart. perhaps the feelings will fade after a period of time. but i think memories and feelings will be just recalled when i think of you.

please, remember that you, yourself is a great person, no matter what you think of yourself. i know the true, and that was the true - what i just said. you have been nothing good to me. and yes, you cared for me.

today i said a lot of things that were just out of hate, i think you realized that when i apologized to you with tears in my eyes. i never meant to hurt you at all, ever. sometimes people say things that they don't really mean in the heat of the moment, and today, we had a lot of heated moments.

i know this will never probably come true, but perhaps one day, god, buddha, or whatever, will see that we were meant for each other and that, with my fullest heart, i wish that we can be together for reals one day in the future.

you are my only sunshine, the reason that i smile and laugh and cry. i miss you already, i love you still.

if i had one wish, i'd wish that we can make it work again, no bullshit, no games, no nonsense, no distractions, just me and you, in love. but i guess i would have to wait or wish for that to be true everyday. i hope you understand my feelings and that when i say you are a great and good person, that i meant it, truly, meant every single word of it.

with love from his heart,

sam

lying to myself

2009-07-19T02:18:00.003-06:00

damn, i think my body is not ready for what is to come but i believe my brain knows is ready for it. or is it the other way around? i see it coming, it's pretty obvious. is it going to be pretty? probably not.

i have certain scenarios that i see in my mind when i picture it happening. but it's probably not going to be anything like what i see.

i think it was time waste. wether or not it was considered long or short by some, it was time wasted.

but in the end i think it was what it was meant to be. didn't have the heart nor the passion for it.

again the question is, what is my passion and where is my heart? somehow, i think i will never know what my passion will be.

i don't think i ever gave much heart into what i'm doing including school and work. this also leads to probably little to no motivation. never motivated at work, well, at least not here in LA because, why bother? which ever way is the wrong way to go about the procedure and i get screwed over when i do right or wrong. why even bother to do anything extra when you are disgruntled yet still get paid the same when having the same amount of energy - zero.

the question now is not why but when.

lakers, douchebag, and life

2009-06-19T11:42:00.003-06:00

first and foremost, congratulations to the los angeles lakers for winning their 15th championship as a franchise, 4th championship for kobe bryant and derek fisher, 10th championship for phil jackson as a coach, allowing him to become the winningest coach in nba history with the most rings, and to the rest of the crew, especially lamar odom, and trevor ariza.

dr. buss needs to get the players re-signed and produce a hollywood sequel to be released next june.

so, many of you have probably read my tweets. yes, we have a douchebag in our company. a major douchebag. he is probably the biggest obsticle that i have ever encountered throughout my job career and one of my most hated co-workers to work with. scratch that, he IS the most hated co-worker that i have.

never have i had a problem with any of my co-workers. sure, there were people that i didn't really like around the job, but i never hated any body. this douchebag is a totally different story. once you meet him, you will understand, but until then, i'll just keep ya'll posted with my tweets.

looking forward to the summer. although right now, pretty much stressed about work, but because of the douchebag, but because i'm now in a new position. it's great to do something different and better but that comes with a price. and that price is stress. so much red tape to go through and basically have your hands tied behind your back while trying to get things done is tough. real tough. can't imagine the stress that i will have when things get busy.

shout out to my buddy gary ta. my boy from junior high and high school is going to be visiting next weekend. it IS ON. i'm looking forward to all the things we will be doing, even if it will be just for a day.

can't wait for joey to come and visit me in august. it's been a while since i last saw his face and i'm excited already.

going to watch transformers 2 in IMAX next weekend. it's going to be a blast. not because of the movie but because i'll be able to catch up with my friends that i haven't seen in weeks. it's good to catch up with them and just chat and have a meal with them.

all in all, a busy week has come to a close and looking forward to the weekends and hopefully i'll have some time to bust out my new camera and take some photos.

another dump ass episode from my dumb ass co-worker. the saga continues...

2009-06-10T12:27:00.001-06:00

i asked my dump mother fuckin' co-worker to try and sell some products, and i said it NICELY in front of another co-worker and this mother fucker FLIPPED OUT!!!! he told me not to treat him like a child and that i shouldn't use words to trick him or force him. exactly words from my mouth was - "do you think you can try and sell?" this man is a retard for sure.

some pics

passed astronomy!

2009-06-06T21:22:00.002-06:00

i can't believe i passed the class.

i was in a good mood and didn't have time this whole week to snap some pictures. i so did after i got home. i took these pictures outside my crib and while driving. it was kinda tiring because of the weight of the camera but i guess it's something that i will get use to.

the dumbest mother fucker alive

2009-06-04T17:20:00.003-06:00

is my co-worker. let's just call him Bob because i don't want to give out his real name.

this parody is dedicated to him.

it's a parody from the John Michael Montogomery song "I Swear"

i swear
you the dumbest mother fucker alive
i swear
you don't do shit and just watch porn all day
i'll be there
to fuck you up
for the greater good
till death you be
i'll hate you with every single beat of my heart
i swear

needed to blog, just because

2009-06-01T00:57:00.002-06:00

okay so first off congrats to the Lakers and the Magics for winning their conference finals and now it's the NBA Finals. i am going to predict that the Lake show wins this in dramatic fashion in 6 games.

bruno on eminem's face was hilarious. but seriously i think sasha should get real, the stunts are getting really.... well, crazy. but it was still really funny. i guess his next movie is going to be another smash hit with law suits inbound his way.

it was a lovely day to wash and wax the car. after a brief rain the car was looking like shit. and since i haven't washed the car in 3 weeks, it was time. in-between washing, i was using UQD (ultimate quick detailer) and california duster to keep my ride looking straight and clean. the whole nine yards this morning. wash, clay, and wax. don't think i need to polish i think. every time i wash my car i find new scratches and swirls on the paint. damn, i guess nothing i can do to keep the car perfect but still trying to maintain it is the key. or else this sweet looking ride will be another crap from point A to B car. can't let that happen. not with the Z.

tomorrow is pay day. i'm going to start cutting back on my expenses. i say that every time and i turn and spend like a mad man. someone kick me in the balls every time i spend so i will learn a lesson. wait, don't. just tell me to stop.

oh and kevin ger, if you are reading this - nuggets were good but LA was the team to beat and they showed it in dominating fashion by laying a 27 point smack down in your face performance in the nugget's own house. embarrassed they should be and they still claim they are the best in the west. what a delusional squad of players. the better team wins in 7 games and the Lake show did proved it in 6 games. nuff said.

getting for test on astronomy and the tip off for the finals on thursday. it's going to be a good game.

Michael Pachter is an idiot

2009-05-06T15:17:00.002-06:00

Michael Pachter is an idiot. he believes or predicts that the Wii will actually come out with a HD version in about 2010.

i do not believe this will happen for a very good reason. actually, reasonS.

first the Wii graphically technology is no better than the PS2 did that get your attention? graphical capabilities are very weak for the Wii if we are comparing it to the PS3 and the XBOX 360. it would not be meaningful to play a Wii game that has HD. sure the graphics MIGHT be more clear but the fact of the matter is, it's low polygons! therefore the quality of the image MIGHT be a bit better, but you are still going to be playing a game (or any game) on a very outdated piece of hardware.

i strongly do not believe that Nintendo will actually expect people to eat that the newer Wii will have better graphics. technically false, it's basically outputting at a higher, clearer rate, but the graphics themselves are limited, the poly count is limited, the designs will be limited because of the ram issues, graphics chip, and processing power will also be limited. so with everything limited what in the world is the point of the Wii going HD?

Michael Pachter is a douche that doesn't really know anything. analyst my butt, he's basically thinking out of his ass.

wtf moment last night

2009-04-08T12:34:00.001-06:00

okay so richard told me randy was a rapper. and i think i laughed my ASS OFF for like a good 10 mins, it also made a drool, and i think i peed my paints a bit because of the fact of randy rapping. it's always too funny that he was rapping about eat ice cream and getting a headache. but i couldn't really understand his chinese.

my dream watch

2009-04-02T17:49:00.002-06:00

this is the watch that i will get and i will be a happy camper for life. the Omega Speedmaster 125. only 2000 of these are made and they were offered in 1972!!!!! crazy watch. it's old school, which is the style that i like. nothing in the world can compare to this watch. looks very special. the look might not be appealing to you, but it will definitely grow on you.

dontations are now being accepted. lol. 2k for the watch. another 1k to get it fully restored.

here is some pics of the beauty.

another reason why we waste money

2009-01-22T14:35:00.002-07:00

okay here is the article title - Study: Cleaner air equals longer life

what in the flying-blue-fuck is this? it's like saying if you don't breathe in second hand smoke, you will live longer. is it me or is this shit common sense?

i can't believe scientists are *paid to do research like this.

every god damn scientist in this world should be force to find a cure for cancer and aids and all the other diseases. what a waste of money.

U.S. health care is whacked

2009-01-21T16:44:00.002-07:00

okay so i need some foot orthotics for my feet. but my freakin' insurance has denied the claim. so wtf? i'm paying for my insurance and i can't even get covered. so right now i have to talk with my doctors and get them to help me out. otherwise, i would have to appeal to the insurance company and see where that takes me.

i'm doing this despite the fact that i am like 80% sure of what the outcome would be. and you, those reading, probably do too.

addicted to Frogskins

2009-01-19T10:47:00.003-07:00

okay, for some reason i'm freakin' addicted to the Oakley Frogskins.

i don't know how many i'm going to get in the end but so far i have complied two -

ultimate clutch moment

2009-01-16T11:04:00.002-07:00

this is what we call the ultimate clutch player, perhaps in history. it's not a 3 point shot at the end of regulation, or a NFL touchdown pass that wins the game. hell no. this is what we call, the ultimate clutch moment and play in history, so far.

a pilot saves about 155 passengers by landing a plane in the Hudson River in New York city. he guided the plane down, with the engines blown out, into the water. the most important thing is, it could have been a fatal accident, but the pilot was in the clutch and saved everyone. every body on that plane walked.

man's game!

circuit city update

2009-01-16T10:49:00.002-07:00

LINK

alright people. read the article. circuity city will begin liquidating it's assets. can someone say - "hell yeah!!!" for the consumers who want to get stuff cheap? things will probably look incredibly cheap in the coming months at circuit city.

give it up for lamar odom.

2009-01-15T18:27:00.003-07:00

LO - you are now one of my favorite basketball players of all time.

i know you got skills and ball like a true nba baller, but damn, you make the game fun. or i should say - funny.

this one(the one above) was one of your best highlights. and it cracked me up like 50 times, which was also the same amount of times i watched this one clip alone.

and how about this one below?

this was a miracle play and also, one of the funniest moments i've witnessed in my 24 years of life.

and how about this one?

this one kinda of made me mad, but then i thought of the 2 other clips and i laughed it off.

give it for lamar odom. you are one funny basketball player. and don't worry. kick ass and give us a championship. you too, kobe.

another reason why people are just stupid

2009-01-13T19:08:00.001-07:00

i believe we are the worst type of animals in the world. at least on earth.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090113/ap_on_re_au_an/as_australia_rabbit_infestation

just another example of how we can be the smartest animals on earth and yet the dumbest at the same time.

i'm out.

also watched Sicko during the weekend

2009-01-05T13:56:00.002-07:00

this film amazes me. i can not believe that other countries, like 3rd world countries like Cuba has free (freakin') health care for everybody.

this is crazy. i know that the film is probably biased towards the american health system but DAMN. wtf. like, wtf, period.

i think the united states is just one big ass corporate entity which is corrupted to its bones. universal health care is free in canada, why can't we have it here?

the reason i'm thinking about this is because i'm probably going into a major surgery soon, and i don't want to end up with a medical bill. the film has given me a picture of what could happen. i'm not sure if it is likely to happen, but damn, if it does, that's freakin' scary and fucked up.

it's crazy i tell you, crazy.

movie matching weekend

2009-01-05T11:04:00.002-07:00

alright. so i stumbled upon a website - watch-movies.net and frankly, i'm freakin' hooked.

so after getting shit down with work, i was on the website all saturday and sunday. it was just one of those days where it was freakin' cold in my house and i felt like doing nothing but be entertained in front of my laptop.

here is a list of all the movies i've watched -

tropic thunder
pineapple express
knocked up
the foot fist way
the 40 year old virgin

yeah, that's right. all freakin' comedies. and it was awesome.

so i totally forgot about tropic thunder. i was going to watch it with someone but, for some weird, odd, reason, that person didn't want to watch it.

bad move. i wish i watched it in the theaters. because it was one of the most hilarious movie i've ever witnessed in my life.

ben stiller's comedy is either hit or miss for me. well, it was a big hit. like square in the chin, the nose, and in the eyes. it was hurting, the sides of my stomach, from all the god damn laughing.

two words - tom (FREAKIN') cruise. les grossman. his acts, i believe, stole the show. downey jr. was very good and very funny. but for a comedy, les grossman aka tom cruise was the funniest character in the movie. no question about it.

if you haven't seen the movie, below is what you only really need to watch -

this is the best part -

LMFAO

Microsoft makes shit ass products

2008-12-31T14:52:00.002-07:00

here is the proof for all of you non-believers or MS fan boy biatches -

ZUNE Z2K Huge Problem

Class Action Suit Against Microsoft over Defective XBOX 360 Consoles

and this is on top of the 1 billion dollar warranty issue MS had to dish out to the consumers - http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jul2007/tc2007075_604500.htm

humanity is very lucky that Microsoft didn't make their own computers. otherwise, we might actually see some real terminators killing us.

the question ponders me - "why a company with so much resources can't step their game up and make quality products?"

Doo Doo having some fun at home

okay, got my financial aid check tonight when i got home and went for the mail.

this is great news. previously, i was basically paying off credit card bills. with this check, i'm finally going to be 1 step away from getting everything cleared.

i have the rest of my tv to pay off. which is still some time. thank god i get interest free untill august of 09. so it's a month to month thing. i'll be applying for financial aid again next term and that should help me clear everything up.

i'm want to be debt free, and i'm very close to it.

can't wait.

okay, feeling pretty good. helped a class mate write an essay paper. she needed to get a really good grade so she can sign up for English 1A.

she just got the results and it was an A paper. i'm glad. i like helping out others. so at least this is some of the brighter news in my life these days.

will write some more later.

retracts statement

2008-11-05T21:16:00.002-07:00

write some stuff that perhaps i shouldn't have. maybe it was out of anger, maybe it was just stupid.

waiting is hard, needed to vent, but sorry for the words.

the most sorry one is not you, but me. i'm the one that is evil and bad and everything else. if there was a hell right now, i'd be in it, the deepest part.

the future ahead of you is bright and shiny, do not think that the life and path you are on is a sorry or sad one. it's not.

i walk down that road, and not you. understand that deep inside me, everything that went on and happened, you are still there, reminding me of everything and why i cared for you.

it's hot and i'm eating M&Ms

2008-10-23T17:03:00.004-06:00

freakin' AC broke at work. so i'm now just sweaty and eating a truck load of candy. mostly the milk chocolate M&Ms.

okay, also, did anyone see that football ref take down the running back in the college game?

looks like the ref took out the running back, meaning, he squared up, lowered his shoulder, and planted his ass.

and yet the ref was not punished.

tell me what you guys think? whatever your opinions are, you gotta admit, that was a freakin' shot. i mean, a ref - with no pads, no nothing, but a long sleeve shirt on, takes down a running back. awesome!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLk0jCykNHc

i love the new watch!!! thank you, baby!!!!

2008-10-19T19:45:00.002-06:00

i was NEVER expecting something like this. but obviously, someone pays attention around here in my blog.

thank you so much for the watch and here are the pics i took. i love it, it's the best G-Shock out there!!!!!!

Riseman Riseman RISEMAN

2008-10-14T12:27:00.003-06:00

riseman tomorrow

2008-10-14T01:06:00.002-06:00

extremely excited about the fact that i'm going to get a riseman tomorrow. that's the G-Shock GW9200-1 aka the Riseman tomorrow. and i figured out something recently. i know a lot of people think G-Shocks are for kids. i guess, all i can say to that is, you douchbags need to google that bitch and research a bit.

and again, it's about a brand. i get it. so just remember, there are two types of people out there -

one - the type that buys a watch because he or she is actually buying a watch
two - the type that buys a watch because of a brand

just remember, ask yourself, the next time you look down on a g-shock watch - is your watch as durable? reliable? is your watch solar charged? does your watch have an atomic time keeping function? do you even know why your $10,000 watch doesn't have atomic time keeping and why it's not solar powered compared to a $70.00 g-shock? i mean, you paid 10,000 dollars for a watch, why didn't it come with functions?

3-1 let's go already dodgers!!!!

2008-10-14T01:04:00.001-06:00

okay so i was keeping tabs on the score while in business law class. i was, at one point, very happy to see that you guys were leading by 2.

and then, boom, a 4 run come back by the phillies. get it together dodgers, i'm rooting for you.

one 2 three

2008-10-06T11:28:00.002-06:00

its on

Elisabeth Hasselbeck

2008-09-30T13:39:00.002-06:00

Elisabeth Hasselbeck feels that she's being picked on.

here is a tip for you girl - the media and people ONLY pick on the ones that do stupid things and say stupid things. you may not do stupid ass things but you sure as hell SAY stupid ass things.

why do you think the millions of people at youtube say you are an idiot for the things you have said?

there is a reason for everything, until you realize that, well, then you'll know why you are being "picked" on.

what ELSE did we learn today on 09/29/08

2008-09-29T16:20:00.002-06:00

so what exactly have we learned about today?

1 - Bush has finally lived up to his expectation - fuckin' up the economy.
2 - despite what people say, it's pretty clear that the 700 billion bail out plan is NOT going to pass anytime soon
3 - while the bail out plan was just shoved up Bush's ass, our stock market is probably going fall even more, maybe even crashing, who knows.
4 - it's freakin' humid in SoCal right now
5 - my boots, watch, and money came in today. right on, now to tackle on the up and coming days of horror.
6 - brett farve is still the man in the NFL, 6 TDs and 1 INT, most career record for touchdowns and interceptions, what a guy! Green Bay Packers doesn't know what they are missing - probably a 4-0 record.
7 - Bush sucks ass

that's enough for today.

what did we learn this month?

2008-09-25T21:40:00.002-06:00

quickly, let's review what we learned this month in the United States of America -

1 - the economy is fucked
2 - the LPGA is racist
3 - the sun is still burning people like crazy in California.

this is straight up retarded.

oh, and like jim rome says - "BENCH THE SALT!"

i'm out.

Fair.

2008-09-15T19:26:00.001-06:00

County fair. It basically was a day to pig out and eat funk foods. Awesome. Will post more animal pics.

A Bathing Ape Jacket

2008-09-15T12:01:00.004-06:00

found the jacket that i want. now all i need is about 2 grand.

like the post title states, it IS A Bathing Ape Jacket. freakin' expensive. but the material they use is really good. it's calfskin on the out side and on the inside it's cotton with feathers. looks to be a freakin' warm ass jacket.

Karei-naru Ichizoku - my after tastes about this drama

2008-09-12T18:42:00.004-06:00

okay. i don't know who reads my blog. probably like 2 people. that's fine. hope you know that one of my hobbies is watching dramas. doesn't matter if it is Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or even English TV-Series, i'm normally not too picking about drama or tv-series. this time i'm going give out some of my opinions about the drama that i recently watched (literally just finished like 8 hours ago) "Karei-naru Ichizoku". this is a real complicated story. to put it in a simple way, it's a drama that takes place in the 1960s in Japan, a time where the country is trying to stop an invasion of foreign banks by merging banks and a time where they are trying to enter into the industrial world of steel making. this is a story about the manpyo family where Daisuke Manpyo, the father director of the Hanshin Bank, tries to gain power by coming up with schemes to eat up bigger banks to gain power and stay control. this is also a story about his first born son, Teppei Manpyo, an engineer who specializes in steel and who is the director of the Manpyo family steel firm Hanshin Steelworks, trying to stay afloat in the industry and trying to build a blast furnace, which he believes will benefit Hanshin Steelworks by producing as quantity of steel related products and with his own technologically advance designs, can make Japan visible on the world map as a powerful industry country.

err... okay, that WAS the short version. you don't want to read about the long version because it would be like a 15-20 page essay term paper.

10 episodes running at about 45 minutes per episode except for the first and final episode, this is one drama that i strongly urge people to watch. comparing with the dramas that had came out in the recent 1-2 years, this one is refreshing because it's a time period drama. almost all of the current dramas take place in the 2000S. and the scale of this drama is pretty magnificent. dramas in Japan are like movies in the United States, and to see the scale of this drama series is pretty amazing because i have not seen something like this from a Japanese drama. first and foremost, an all star cast, which i believe is probably one of the better castings in recent Japanese dramas. because this is a time period drama, they needed experienced actors. those stupid jpop singers wanna be actors not here, which is a plus because 90% of them can not really act for shit. big name actors in this one - Takuya Kimura, Kyoka Suzuki, Kazue Fukuishi, Toru Nakamura, Hiroki Narimiya. i don't have time to say who they are but they are pretty big name actors. if you watch Japanese dramas, you know Takuya Kimura. he's dramas generally generate a view rating of at least 20% and this one was average at around 25% to 30%.

the storyline is very good. in some ways it's very political but not to the extent where you do not know what they are talking about. the main points are clear and the storyline twists is very good. the acting is very good and of course, like i said, the scale and the scenes are really beautiful. it really got me hooked after the end of episode 1. not only is the acting and story good, it makes you think about all the stuff not being said. the characters are manipulative that sometimes you just want to spit or slap them from your sofa or bed or where ever you are watching from. long with the story and actors with their great acting, it really just engulfs you in. i've watched about 5 different dramas this year and i can safely say that this one is number 1 compared to the others.

watch it. feel it. then, you'll know what i mean.

G Shock Wish List

2008-09-07T18:34:00.005-06:00

been checking out a lot of G Shock watches and i have now complied a wish list.

here we go -

5 -

CASIO G-SHOCK DW-5025B DW5025B 25TH ANNIVERSARY WATCH

reason why i picked this one is because first of all, it's a limited edition. i'm not really digging the white but it's a limited edition. second i love reverse displays, as you can see the face color is black.

4 -

CASIO G-SHOCK GW9200-1 aka Riseman

my reasons for this watch because it has probably the most functions out of a G Shock watch. it's a solar atomic watch. which means that the battery will recharge itself when exposed to the sun, therefore, i will never have to worry about changing the battery. and this baby is an atomic watch which means that it will have the most accurate time.

3 -

CASIO G-Shock MTG900DA-8V

this is actually the watch that tom cruise wears in the movie Mission Impossible: 3. it's a really good watch. solar atomic as well. it's got a PVD strap which means that it's a metal that doesn't scratch as easily. i like this watch because it's basically an all black watch that is very durable. i don't have to worry about it scratching up or anything. again, i don't have to worry about the correct time or the battery as it is solar powered, etc. and this watch looks alright in casual and street clothes.

2 -

G-Shock GWM5600BC-1V

at number 2 it's this baby. the GWM5600BC-1V. why? first of all this design of G Shock is my favorite design. it's the 5600 series design. the old school design. when one glances at this watch, they know within 1 second that it's a g shock. it's solar atomic. no worrying about time, battery, and scratches as the strap is i believe made out of resin (hard ass rubber) and metal. so while it might get scratched up after a lot of uses, it won't be that bad. this version show the day and date (like it will tell you it's SUN and the actual date). not to be confused with the GW5600 version. note that this version has a GWM

1 -

unknow...

that's right. i dunno what is my number one. i want a watch where i can wear it with street clothes, casual, and business casual with solar atomic functions and a good PVD or metal/titanium band.

too bad g shock doesn't make one like that yet.

well, there you go, my top 5 G Shock wish list.

how i got my "G"

2008-09-05T13:30:00.001-06:00

okay, so recently, i've been obsessed with G Shock watches. it all started when i was watching the drama SP Hero. in the SP, the main character was sporting a G Shock. and because i thought it would be cool to have the exact same watch, i went online and started looking for it.

i was thinking about at the beginning that it would be rather easy. i didn't know too much about G Shocks, i thought that they are more of a regular watch and that the watch was going to be a rather easy find.

oh, how wrong I was.

google was not a great help to me at first since i did not know the model of this particular G Shock, i was really looking picture by picture. i first read about the watch from a Singapore blog site that talked about the Drama SP Hero and the watch that was featured in there.

it was called the DW5600FS-3JF.

okay, so on with the search. this was the hard part. neither ebay or amazon had this particular model. why was this? i wondered....

turns out to be a Japan-only model. okay, fair enough. logged on to the Japanese version of yahoo and did a search for it. found it!!!! only the sellers ONLY shipped inside Japan and not internationally. what a bummer. i needed help. since non of my friends were into G Shocks, the only thing that i was left with was the message boards. i was recently watching a Japanese drama called "densha otaku" about a man who was a hardcore anime and manga fan looking for relationship advice from an online message forum.

i was looking for a good forum and stumbled on to www.watchuseek.com. they had a bunch of sub forums dedicated to different brands of watches. and i saw the G Shock board. registered and log on and created a thread about it on the WTB (want to buy) board. nothing. no replies, nothing. so i guess no one was selling this baby.

okay, on to the main G Shock forum. made a thread about it. within a matter of hours, i can a few replies. turns out that this sucker is only found in Japan and that finding one out side of Japan was near impossible. the forum members suggested me to a website.

http://www.seiyajapan.com/ this was the first website where i attempted to try and obtain my watch. seiya-san basically sells Japan only models and ships them internationally. so i sent in a request form for this watch.

seiya-san got back to me within 2 days i believe which is pretty quick. the watch was located and the price after everything was about 320.00. i told him that i was interested about purchasing and waiting for a response. perhaps it was the time difference but seiya-san replied to me 2 days later that the watch has already been sold.

big, fat, bummer!!!!

okay. so what was next?

back at watchuseek.com, the forum members suggested that i go with a third party agency. they basically buy the items for you in Japan and ship it out internationally. the draw back is that they have bank fees and commission fees. but they are able to get it for me. at this time, i really wanted the damn watch. so i went looking for third party agencies.

the members from the board suggested http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/. so i checked them out. prices are kinda high. so i went with a different route. www.japan-auction-agency.com. this site i believe is a bit cheaper than fromjapan.co.jp.en. so i went with them instead.

they have really good communication and they are pretty fast. they open at 7:00am their time in Japan, which is around 4:00pm US pacific standard time. and they replied back my questions at around 4:30 to 5:00pm. which is good service. so i placed a bid using their system.

finally, the auction ended and i got my my watch, and after everything, the watch came out to be around 275.00USD. not bad. and i got my watch in about 5 business days.

so there, my watch, DW5600FS-3JF in my hands. it was a long wait and a long ass search but i got my watch.

i gotta give it up from Vintage, Mansrow, Jabsa, Seamaster73, and of course Seiya-san. even though Seiya-san couldn't get the watch, he was still very nice and helpful with his e-mails. and thanks for your comment Sjors!

looking forward to my next purchase.

until then, late!!

Hero G Shock DW5600FS-3JF

2008-09-03T17:04:00.002-06:00

My new G Shock DW5600FS-3JF. You may have seen this watch in the Japanese drama Hero SP and the Japanese Movie "Hero" starring Kimura Takuya. It was pretty hard trying to get this watch because it is only made in Japan. Therefore, I had to import the watch all the way from Japan. Anyways, after all the hard work, I finally got my hands on one. Enjoy the pics.

Summer is about to end.

Good Bye Sony, I love you so much.

2008-05-21T23:35:00.002-06:00

Today is a sad day. Sony has passed away... On May 21st 2008.

I love you Sony, I know you were suffering but I guess no one knew to what you were going through.

I remember how I played with you during my break times at AG Golf. You were so fat but so cute . And you were so camera shy that I couldn't get a good shot at you.

I found her resting today. And it was obvious. I didn't believe Jim at first, but, seeing you laying there, I knew. I called out your name but nothing. Resting there peacefully on the ground. I won't remember how you laid there today.

I'll remember how I had so much fun with you in the back yard. Playing. You chasing your toys and me keeping them away from you. You were so cute, you were so lovable, you were so fat... you were etched in my heart. Somehow, I always thought that you were my dog and that it was true.

Goodbye sweetie. I hope you have sweet dreams, and I hope that you are in a better place, chasing your toys and eating greasy Chinese food for dinner.

Slept for 3 hours last night craming economics into my head... And here is the result! Nothing better than sleeping in the car but dont give a shit if you are late for work.

Peta. Ur organization is trash...

2008-05-05T15:25:00.001-06:00

Ok. Horse racing. The horse is put to sleep because of a freak accident causing 2 of the horse's ankles to break during the derby. And now they are blaming the jockey? First of all, does ghettos ass peta even know about horse racing? Well, let me educate their dumbasses - shit fucking happens. How in the name of douche would the jockey even know that the horse broke its ankles during the race? I mean the horse ran until the race was over and than collapsed. And they are going to blame the jockey? Peta is a whacked organization. You guys want to stop cruelty of animals? Why not stop the human race since we kill every living organism in sight. In all honesty you people are crap, give us real hard facts about this particular incident. You dont have any. All you guys see is the end result of a freak accident and believe there is a need to blame someone. You want to make a difference? Ban horse racing. Bitches.
