I cannot imagine getting through it without my music. I discovered <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Coconut+Records">Coconut Records</a> in April through the internet. Its a great listen while in transit. I love putting soundtracks on the "little adventures" of my commute. I put my iPod on "shuffle mode" and somehow the music just goes with everything, walking running, people watching, people pushing, and so on.. so here's the video. May skate pa! In 2007, Jason Schwartzman created the pop/rock solo act Coconut Records. Songs include “West Coast,” “Nighttiming,” and “This Old Machine.” The album had many musical contributions by members of Incubus and Rooney, as well as rather unlikely appearances by Kirsten Dunst and Zooey Deschanel.Schwartzman is best known for his role in the films Rushmore, I ♥ Huckabees, and Slackers. http://ayatot.multiply.com/journal/item/105/West_Coast Fri, 4 Jul 2008 06:50:00 -0000 Noah and the Whale If i were on my way to a surf spot in the philippines right now, riding in Philip's pick up, ( I'd be wearing my aviators because the sun is shining so bright) Dom, Kage, Jp, Vic and the rest of the crew would be listening to this song with me and we'd be stoked coz we are on our way to surf head high glassy waves with no one else out there in the line up. but it's not gonna happen here in Vancouver so i'm just gonna have to imagine for now... music promo to the song 5 years time.staring- chaz-t'bone-doug-urby-lauradirected by James Copemanshot on super 8 http://ayatot.multiply.com/video/item/12/Noah_and_the_Whale Mon, 23 Jun 2008 09:22:31 -0000 it's not nice when someone steals your stuff. I hate it when it happens. I find that this has happened waaay too often to me. Sometimes my ideas have been stolen... on rare occasions i've lost my dignity (ha!)... most of the time i lose material things... now i hope this time no one steals my identity (its a popular crime here, eep!) My bag was stolen. Let's just say it was stolen because i was careless. In my bag, i had my wallet, with my PR card, my SIN card, my bank card, my Philippine License, and some sentimental shit. I also lost my ipod among other stuff in my bag. My house keys with my special keychains were in there too. I had just bought a pack of cigarettes today, they're not cheap either. I filed a report with the police already and did the routine of calling banks blah blah blah. its such a hassle. I just really have to rant because i'm trying to save money here but everyday it just seems harder and harder to do that. Life here just requires me to spend all the time. baah. i know all those things are replaceable, maybe i'... http://ayatot.multiply.com/journal/item/104/its_not_nice_when_someone_steals_your_stuff.

How has it been? See, everytime im on the train going home from work, i keep telling myself.."i have to blog about this." And i try and compose the stories and adventures i want to share in my head... but by the time i get home, i get really lazy because i have to eat dinner, wash the dishes, check my mail and try and work on my portfolio. The truth is i only get to the dinner and washing dishes part before i fall asleep. So, yeah i totally missed out sharing the funny moments and the sadder moments and those fun random moments. I wish i had my Camera, its an easier way for me to share my stories. I'll try and summarize the little adventures, discoveries, re-discoveries, and even the misadventures on here as often as i can so that when i get old i can go back here and show my grandchildren. hehe. ** I caught this shoplifter the other day tr... http://ayatot.multiply.com/journal/item/103/Hows_it_goin Tue, 20 May 2008 08:26:00 -0000 Hanging out in Vancouver One day of crepes, one day at work, some of the sunnier days, one stolen skytrain shot and my latest pub date with Miko and Anj.

Its a fact. Yeah most people surfing may look graceful and fluid, it may even look really easy to do..but we all found out, it's harder than you think. There's so much going on and everything is happening so fast, before you know it, you're upside down in the water, your board hits you in the face, or your face is buried in sand (or rocks!). But yeah, surfing is fun! hahaha. toink! bam! splat! splash!
