I've really been neglecting to blog. haha Well nothing really exciting has happened besides summerschool and just relaxing at home. I havent been riding except for doing laps around the neighborhood and just random trips down to DT SJ for errands.

Well heres some recent pickups:

Tarck Session

2009-03-06T18:04:00.000-08:00

So last week we got lost on our way to a party at The Lab and ended up at a random skatepark. This week we intentionally went and I busted out the Flip cam just for the hell of it. The footage is real weak because of the low lighting but what can you do? We went out around 1130 pm and didnt come back to State till 315 am. it was that fun. Anyways we rode inside the bowl and skidded through the kickers, banks, and shit. I'm sure the local skaters will be maaad confused when they see all the skidmarks. hahaah

Caturday.

2009-03-01T16:01:00.000-08:00

Today Lindsey and I spent majority of the day inside the library trying to study. Afterward, Lindsey and Esther went to watch a movie and I went to go ride / tarck around downtown. Andrew and I got honked at by a cop while going down 4th street lol. and then we met up with Brian and Leo so they could practice their skids at City Hall.

Lindseys camera ran out of battery so I used my Flip Cam to catch some really crappy footage. Next time I'll do a better job but this was just to test out the cam under a low light situation. epic fail. super shaky and whatnot.

word.

2009-02-28T01:08:00.000-08:00

So on Ash Wednesday, Lindsey and I decided to bake cookies since we had nothing to do. We had stolen the idea of making objects from this one blog where the lady made various characters and whatnot. However, instead of using cookies she made them using bento boxes and shit! Its really ridiculous she has way too much time on her hands.

Anyways heres the aftermath of our boredom. I made the powerup mushroom from Super Mario, Kristine made a molecule since she was studying for O-Chem. [I dont know where that picture went]. Lindsey made Wall-E, Mustachio, and a turtle. Jenna made two bunnys, a giraffe, and a turtle.

Fast Forward to Today.

On Tuesday, Donghoh ambushed me with a deal on Chainlove for some new bmx risers. Of course being the impulsive person that I am, I bought em instantly (I gave up impulsive buying for Lent btw.). They came in today and needless to say they feel great but make my Affinity look pretty jackass and tarcky. Nothing beats the RB-021 that I have but these are so damn comfy. The short stem and rise puts me at an upright comfy position, perfect for cruising but not to great for rides.

The Atomlab bars came with a catch of course, they had this ugly logo clearcoated under. I temporarily covered it up with the Illest sticker but I think a possible repaint is in the works later on. I'll try to snap a pic of the whole bike the next time I go ride or tarck.

btw.
I did the late night thurs. no drop ride last night and my knees are killing me. I think I need lower my seat a bit or the 24 mi. just took its toll on me. Anyways, I love my bike and SJF (SJFixed aka SJFriends) no aero of course.

EDIT.

I still love my friends back home, yes homo. with extra sauce.

I picked up a new stem today from a dude on CL. It was $75 less than retail so I had to jump on it. Anyways, I haven't put it on yet since that will make me want to ride and in turn not finish my Econ 1A homework. Its so tempting though, since its just sitting next to me while I type this blog which is actually time I should spend doing my homework but w.e!

Okay, I'll finish my assignments now then go ride =) muahaha

Illest.

2009-02-21T20:07:00.000-08:00

I havent really been blogging since its been the same routine over and over with hardly any discrepancies AND I dont have a cam in SJ. My Dad just bought my sister a Cannon 40D so I'll see if I can swoop it up sometimes or take the G9 to SJ with me.

Anyways, today Lindsey and I hitup Japan town to pickup a bunch of the new Fatlace stickers. We were lucky enough to find parking right on Post street, I mean really when does that ever happen?! Hahah We stopped by Super 7 and then just headed back home. I chilled at her house to watch Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist. Decent movie but I swear Norahs head is fucking huge!, that bitch rocks a 7 3/4 like me, no joke.

I'll try and keep up with the blogging but in the meantime heres a pic of todays pickup via crappy cellphone:

I love stickers hahahaah

I hate not having enough money to build up my bike. I know it'll happen in due time but I need it done by Feb 8, for the SJ Alleycat. Besides even if I finish it by then I'll be so out of it that I might just DNF again.

Anyways, I'm selling my IRO frame/fork/headset/bb on tuesday. I dont even want to think about it anymore, it's been thru a lot and I only bought it in August. O well its time to move on to an even better bike, although you will be missed. I cant thank Jeff enough for selling me the bike at an amazing price, he straight hooked it up.

but yeah

Winter Wipeout

2008-12-20T22:38:00.000-08:00

So Jon and I went to our first ever alleycat in Stockton.

The drive was stupid far to get to Stockton (212 mi. round trip). Race started out real well but Jon hit two flats within 3 blocks and we never caught back up. O well it was hella fun but pretty freaking cold. The trick comp was ridiculous, but since I didnt have my external flash I couldnt take any pictures, the winning trick I think was a barspin to 8 pogos then barspin out. There was a raffle and I got some coffee beans....

I broke in my toshi double straps and GR9s, they live up to the hype.

2008-11-08T17:20:00.001-08:00

Today was fucking ridiculous.

Went to the THSF warehouse sale at Haight with the seeeestar and homies. Copped some outerware and tees. The hoody and jacket are pifffffffffffffff. I kinda forced on the white tee since almost all my shirts are black but w.e at $10 dollars do you really think twice? The biggest deals with TH sale would be the cut and sews, I picked up this bright ass polo and gdamn the detailing is amazing.

Finally I headed down to the table with the sample new eras and amazingly enough they had some in a 5/8! I had to splurge on the green new era. I mean really its a fitted that will probably never be released and in my size, fucking sex.

I got the Usugrow tee from my comrade Jon. shit is sooo sick.

pics dont do the stuff justice, im just madd lazy to take more flicks

2008-11-07T23:49:00.001-08:00

I thought you were going to come out here to the States in Jan. and we would buy a smart car together, I guess I'm doing that on my own. I cant believe you're gone now. It wasnt your time to leave yet but I guess God has other plans for you. I really miss you...

Purist x Stussy Womens

2008-09-26T21:59:00.000-07:00

So Lindsey and I spent the whole day out shopping [nh]. We went to Valley Fair then hitup the Purist event. It was sponsored by Stussy Womens and they released some Neighborhood x Stussy clothing. The single shirt I wanted was sold out of my size so I ended up copping a Hundreds vest, hahah smh. Lindsey copped a dope ass Stussy jacket.

Props to the Purist crew as always even tho me and Marco were rocking the same shirt lol.

Heres what we copped. The two Stussy shirts were included in the gift bag along with everything else here. The Hundreds stuff was just a lil something they threw in.

Tuesday Night Rides

2008-09-17T11:32:00.000-07:00

Finally rolled thru to a tuesday night ride.
I saw a gang of fixed gears and track bikes, 1 single speed, 1 beach cruiser, 1 mtb, and 1 road bike.

Shit was ridiculously fun. Biking from SJSU -> downtown Campbell -> Santana Row -> SJSU

Almost ate it when we were coming back tho, there was a deep ass pothole that I missed and hit head on.

I miss my camera

2008-09-12T14:42:00.001-07:00

I really need to get my camera back.
Anyways, my life consists of school and work. I have class till 1 then work at 5 or 530.
Afterwards its finish up my hmk and prepare for the next day.

I've been riding around alot lol. Last night was definately fun tho. We rode around campus then hitup Santana Row around 1 am, real laid back ride. Tried to race a BMW 6 but then he tried running me and andrew over, fail...

Anyways, heres a crappy cellphone pic of our bikes at safeway. I'm pretty sure the workers thought we were either drunk or high. hahah

Installed a front brake last night with help from the GF.

2008-07-15T21:44:00.000-07:00

Today was a good day. Picked up my fixed gear, helped Marty build his Kilo TT, rode around, and had chicken katsudon. oh baby.

After these pics, I threw on a rear light and replaced the pedals to the stock ones. I just need to put on the toe clips and straps to finish and get my "oh fuck im going to die" [front brake] installed. So far so good =)

Today was dopeeeee. I finally kicked it with Lindsey after a month! First off we just chilled at her house and watched some TV and OTH [no homo]. Then hitup Stonestown and ate lunch, sorabowl ftw, the spicy chicken bowl is craaaaaaaaack. Saw Marty manning the crocs booth and just said wsup. Hitup the vans store and picked up some new chukka lows [picture below]. The Lindsey and I just went home and watched a couple movies before finally eating dinner at in&out. yeeeep today was a good day =)

Happy monthsary babe =) lol.

anyways.

Hitup Purist this morning for the final 1 year collab tee. Hundreds x Purist was a major hit with the peoples, we were there at 10:30 and 30 heads were ahead of us. Surprising but also really good because that boutique I casually ran into my first semester is finally getting the exposure they deserve. BIG UPS TO THE PURIST CREW!

Anyways, Jon rolled thru around 9:45 and we left asap to drive 45 miles to SJ. We arrived and got really good parking a block away. Waited about 2 hours for our tees, headed from SJ -> SF to pickup some free crocs from my boy Marty and claimed this day VICTORIOUS word to Johnny Drama.

Best part about 2007? I could say it was entering college, finally getting my Calis after 4 years of searching, Lupes The Cool, Kanyes Graduation, finally hearing Blu, Superbad, or Transformers. Mann to much dope shit happened last year but heres the best:

Graduating HS ftw. Damn hella good memories tho but it feels good to accomplish something and close a chapter of your life only to move onto bigger and better things.

My dads the photographer and I'm not so he has alot of dope pics [www.voltaireyap.com] but yeaah this is good enough lol.

It was my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary so we all went on a road trip. The resort itself was decent, nothing more. The place itself however is evidence that there is a Philippines other than the overpopulated, polluted, and urbanized Manila.
