Do you listen to John Legend?

Do you like his music?

Love it?

You do?

I do too!

* HIGH FIVE *

You'll love this old album entitled "Solo Sessions Vol. 1 Live from The Knitting Factory." It took me more than 24 hours to find it online but it was worth all the trouble. I re-upped the album (cover below) and you can download it HERE. It was recorded in 2003 and released the following year. This is by far the purest recording of John Legend featuring performances by J. Ivy, Imani Uzuri and Kanye West.



Enjoy.

I met up with an old friend whom I haven't seen since he tied the knot. He's happily married and a proud father now. I told you things would be better and I was correct! Nice catching up with you man. I hope I didn't bore you with my stories. Even if I did, the night turned into a laugh fest when the topic switched to Carlos Agassi. Non-stop jokes for the main course! Hahaha.

This place needs to have its own tap. Word to Grappa's.


A few years ago, this guy heard something bad about me but he never believed it, not even for one second. Nice one C! Next time I see that fool I'm gonna roundhouse kick both his bum knees. He had no business spreading all those lies. That fucker wasn't even around when things went down. What a chump. Someday he'll find out that he's not the true love of his wife. Burn! Regards to the lovely wife and kisses to the adorable baby.


Who dat?


HAI THARR


Nice photo, too bad the external flash didn't fire.


I've always wanted to see what's inside this place

I wonder what happened to Miko and Mark?

Hmmm...

Picked up something from wL last night and hung around for a bit. It was great chatting with sensible peeps about today's scene. We all agreed that a lot of people got the wrong idea on how this thing works. They think that just because they have the money to open shop doesn't mean that it'll do well. The same goes for everything else. It's a shame how everybody and their mommas is now starting a clothing line and putting up a "street" store with no solid foundation. Having money and Internet with all your favorite links bookmarked don't count. There's so much more that goes down behind the scene. Stuff you won't find by using Google. I know everybody has to start from somewhere but if you're trying to buy your way into this subculture with your mediocre shit, then let me tell you this - Save your money and do something else. Maybe something related to your degree. Don't come to me with that bullshit that you have a degree in Business Management because I will bet my life on it that you didn't even bother to come up with a business plan or a feasibility study before you put your shit out. Also, adding the brand logos on your poster or store entrance won't help if you don't have the actual accounts. You can get in legal trouble for that. If the brands themselves are feeling the pinch, then... Ah forget it. Go ahead and do whatever you want. Just don't say I didn't warn you. Okay?


Bullet proof

Hi Jack!


A must have for folks in Mindanao


RUN WE.L.


Late night chat with Mars


These guys are funny.


Next time you visit Mark's store, think twice before talking out of your ass looking to be the next player in the industry. That way, I can blog about lighter things and refrain from shaking my head for one day.

Ya dig?

BURGER AND BEER

I drove out to get some food in the middle of the night. I wanted some chicken but for some reason the 24/7 KFC near the house was closed. I ended up at Burger King and flipped out when I saw this.


A few months ago, I read HERE BK's plan to sell beer in South Beach. I never expected to see the same thing here. I might be late on this as the crew told me they started serving beer February 25.

It's plus 35 pesos with your meal or 65 per can. Not bad since you also get these free services...

Epic Beard Man will love this


No need to steal your neighbor's Internet connection

Didn't BK used to offer hand massage? Maybe they took it out after patrons asked for extra service. Haha.

All that's missing is a free lap dance with every order of a triple Whopper.

BALLA IN MANILA

People have been asking me about a recent tweet I posted regarding Ben Baller's trip to Manila next month. I'm sorry but I do not have the details. What I do know is that he wants some Jollibee and chicken adobo. Peep the video, 3:30 mark.

(click to play)


He had over 400 viewers on USTREAM and answered a bunch of random questions from strangers, friends and even haters. I don't even know why some people hate on the dude. He's actually funny and down for whatever. No d-ride, I've known the guy since the early NT days. He even granted a silly request of mine. Hahaha.

Have no clue who he is?

You can visit his blog HERE.

CRUEL A D' EVIL

I came across an old blog I set up more than 5 years ago. I never updated it after my first entry.

Look!

An entry with less than 10 words but says so much more about what I went through. I remember this was right before Sneaker Pimps Manila in 2005. Man oh man. I organized a bunch of sneaker events back then and I didn't even get to attend half of it.

For the longest time I was made to think that if I did something she didn't like or refuse to understand, even though there was NOTHING wrong with it, I was the worst person on the planet.

God knows you were just looking for something that would pin me down so you wouldn't feel as bad on what you've been doing the past year or two.

I knew you were glad Typhoon Ondoy happened. Come to think of it, you were probably the only person in the world who felt that way. It gave you the chance to creep up on me in my sleep, get my cellphone from my pocket and read every message that you've been wanting to see in my inbox ever since I bought my first unit in 2000. I mean seriously, who the fuck does that shit!?

Imagine if you went through it and didn't see a thing. Your conscience would still be eating you alive for ruining everything. So what if I started seeing other people? That happened AFTER you left me. It's not like you locked yourself in the house. Did you really expect me to stop living? Get the fuck out of here with that mentality. The world doesn't revolve around you.

It's sad how you cried and made it seem like you missed a big part of life by telling me that you never slept with another man. Well now that you're single (I heard you want to remove my name from the kids', just like what you did to yours), fuck 'til you drop!

I'm glad I never said yes to you last June when you begged me on the phone to get back together with you. I still have the recorded convo saved. Gotta love technology. Maybe I should post a podcast here soon? That way, your so called friends will finally know THE TRUTH. You've fooled them the same way you fooled me with your life of lies. I'm not even surprised that a few of my old friends are closer to you now. I mean if they were really my friends they would've at least asked me if your stories were true. Eh, what do I care? I won't hate on you or them because you all share a common trait. Being materialistic.

You never did stop living it up even though for some time you fooled people into thinking that you lived a very pitiful life after the separation. Truth is, you just wanted me out of the way so you could get away with whatever you wanted to do. You started hanging out with losers who never get laid but have been dying to start a family or worse, find it difficult to maintain a relationship with a decent partner even though they are in their 30s.

"Oh look at me! I talk a lot of smack about other people and I don't even know my real last name. The Playa Hater's Ball here I come!"

"Yeah I'm such a stud. I'm a hot shot banker and I creep on married women. In fact, I'm diggin' this rich chick with 3 kids! Talk about wise investment and makin' bank!"

"I'm an illegal immigrant and I will marry the next white guy who shows interest in me even if he looks like Mackenzie Crook. I need that green card. Me luv you long time!"

Canon recently released a firmware update for its T1i / 500D model. I heard it transforms your camera into a Canon 7D. No, not really, but I suggest you still download and install the program if you love your T1i. I hesitated at first because I didn't want to brick my camera but after going through the instructions a couple of times, I finished installing everything in less than 5 minutes.

Look!

I my T1i


Voila!
