March of Dimes

March for Babies

This past Sunday was the March for Babies walk that took place in Fashion Island. It was very exciting and fun. There were alot of people walking for the same cause: to raise money for research and needs for premature babies.


Mark at the start of the March for Babies walk.

Mark reaching the 1 mile point.

People marching for the same cause.

Mark reaching the 2 mile point.

The march over looking the ocean.

The 3 1/2 mile point. We missed the 3 mile sign, lol.

Mark at the 4 mile point.

Ervin had the same shirt, haha.

Mark and Ervin at the finish line. Or was this at the start?

It was an awesome experience. One that I would gladly do again. The fifth mile was a solemn walk as we pass banners with names of babies that passed away. It was a very emotional walk because the last mile hits you really hard. I walked for my cousin Joshua. I know he was with me in spirit. Thanks to those who donated money for the cause. May God shine a light upon you and return your kindness ten folds.

Rage: Mike's Lost Memories

Mike and his friend Jay decided to come down to Los Angeles, for Jay's birthday weekend. Jay is great, funny... and he thinks like me. Winner!



So this is the first time I've actually seen Mike drunk. I mean I've heard him drunk so many times over the phone, result of drunk dialing... but actually seeing him drunk takes it to a whole another level.



Mark: Hey Mike everything ok? Are you drunk?

Mike: Nah, I'm good I'm just watching the music video. I love Kylie Minogue.

Mark: That's not Kylie Minogue. That's Miley Cyrus, dear.

HAHAHA! That was very funny.





Ervin and I decided to head home after midnight because he had work the next day. We said goodbye to Mike and hunted down Jay to say goodbye. Five minutes later after exiting the club and crossing the street, I got a call from Jay.

Jay: Mike is sad. You didn't say goodbye to him.

Mark: Um yeah we just did.

Jay: Well he says you didn't.

Mark: Well we did, right before we said bye to you jay.

Jay: Oh ok.

Then it starts. LoL! Mike and I had a bet that he was gonna drunk dial me even after clubbing and coming down here in socal. What's the point of drunk dialing someone who you just hung out with 5 minutes ago, haha. Five minutes after the last call -

Jay: Mike is really sad. He said you didn't say good bye to him.

Mark: Aww, but we did say bye to him.

Mike: *sobbing in the background*

Jay: Well he doesn't remember.

Mark: Well maybe he shouldnt have been drinking. LoL!

Ten minutes later -

Jay: Mike's drunk. I don't know what to do.

Mike: *yells* I wanna go home.

Mark: Um, will he be okay.

Jay: Yeah I think we'll just head home now.

Mark: Um, will you guys be ok to drive home.

Jay: Yeah we're good. Jay just needs to sober up.

Ervin: Did he just call Mike "Jay"?

Mark: I think he did. Um, are you sure both of you guys will be fine? What's Mike doing?

Jay: Yeah we're good. Jay is just here next to me.



Ok so after calling back and forth and me catching up on some rest in the car... Mike and Jay called me up 10 times during the 50 minute ride home. That's 1 call for every 5 minutes. Haha! Advice for Mike... LAY OFF THE ALCOHOL BUDDY! LoL! Jay is a really good friend to have in times of drunkenness. Friend points go to Jay.

Entangled Heart

I don't know why but for some reason when I think of you, everything else goes out the window and all I can think about is you. I hardly know you and yet there's this primal instinct that lures me to you. Maybe it's the way you talk, the things you say or the ideas that flow from your head, something innocent that attracts me to you. And all things that makes sense suddenly doesn't.

Everything escapes me and all I think about is you.

Which is driving me crazy because I know it will never be, but even accepting that fact, there is something inherent in both of us that draws us closer to that point.

I don't know what it is, but something in me wants to.

But alas, what I feel for you is what you feel for someone else. And I know no matter how hard I try, my feelings will never be reciprocated. Complicated is my heart, ripped apart by my wants and needs. I am a prisoner of my own desires.

But I will remain strong for both of us, for I am your friend.

DC Quotes

Sometimes it's harder to rebuild something than it is to just start from scratch.

That picture you have in your mind of the way something was is never gonna be that way again.

I'm not punishing you. Punishment implies that you did something wrong. If you thought about sleeping with him, if even for just a second, maybe that is your hearts way of telling you I'm not the one for you.

The heart is a fragile thing. Break it too badly and it might never recover.

I decided to hangout with Ervin this Easter Sunday. We went on a picnic at Griffith Park. Very local, I know but there are tons of things to do here and by the way, the park was packed. After the picnic we decided to hike up Mt. Hollywood. It was a great walk. It felt like Mi'ihen Highroad from Final Fantasy X. We also listened to Final Fantasy scores and at one moment we both slowed our pace and got sucked in by the green grass rolling on the winds. It was funny...
