It's Magic...

Yes... I am still in January. LOL

So ever since I met Kristian, i've always wanted to take him to Magic Mountain... just cuz I wanna hear him scream like a lil sissy, haha.


Welcome Visitors

Ervin taking DRAMAmine

Aaron and Kristian

Q: Why is this the best time of the year to go to Magic Mountain?


A: No lines.

The first ride of course was X2. I wanted them to experience what a real rollercoaster was haha. Not that lame kiddie train at the PacSci Center up in Seattle, lol. We pretty much got to ride most of the cool rides. X2, Tatsu, Jetstream, Goldrush was the best. I kept laughing cuz it was so fun. And there were these two girls in front of us that were laughing along (no I dont mean Kristian and Aaron, I mean real girls). And the Bumper Cars...


Look Ma, Im Driving

Carpool

Swervin Ervin

LoL After eating expensive fast food at Johnny Rockets we rode Tatsu. The pretzel loop on Tatsu pretty much did it for Aaron, lol. We ended up buying yummy tasty funnel cakes after wards and browsed the stores.

My Dreams Of Being An Astronaut

Stardate January 8, 2010

When I was young, I always wanted to see what else is out there... beyond this world... LoL


Apollo 13

One small step for man. One prancing leap for a gay man.

Actually here we are taking the out of towners to the Griffith Park Observatory. Last time Kristian was here (over 5 years ago) it was closed for renovation. This is the first time he's actually stepping foot inside. Odd that we don't have any pics with them here LOL! But oh well more pic of the observatory, I guess... lol.


Ooh planets!

Los Angeles at Night

My Getaway

I love love love my fish. Ive had them for about 2-3 years now. I started out with 3 platies and exploded into 30+. Of course there are some who die but with each loss, it makes room for new life. Platies are livebearers. (I dont have to worry bout buying new fish haha)



So here is my 29 Gallon fish tank. Its planted of course, though keeping the plants alive are hard because the fish tends to eat them. Some pics before I change them again. I am saving up for some new things for my fish tank.



I love staring into my tank and just getting away from reality once in a while. I find peace with my pish. If I had a pish I would dip it in patis, haha!

The New iPad

The New Apple IPad $499.00

The new iPad left me with mixed feelings. The product looked great. It sure looked easy to use. Portability is a huge plus. So what's wrong with it? Unfortunately for the new iPad, it's all been done before with gadgets like the iPhone or the iTouch preceding its release. Its just the same candy in a bigger bag.

I believe people expected the iPad to handle things that a laptop or a computer is capable of. The fact is the iPad is a digital NOTEPAD best suited for event planners, personal assistants, etc.. etc... the biggest misconception is that people expected it to take the place of the laptops. It isn't. I hope this first step will bring better things for the future generations of the iPad.

With that said... I will wait for Apple to make a better version... probably iPad Gen 3... by then the device will better suite the price.

*Remember when the first iPhones and iTouch were over priced... haha... lets wait a couple of years...

Down the Mountain

Fun times at Big Bear!

New Year Trip: Big Bear

Its the New Year... Working long hours... with hardly any sleep. I deserved a trip dod gammit LOL! So we decided to take an impromptu trip to Big Bear on January 2, 2010. It's been years since I've been on the snow... I was really excited. We decided to take this impromptu trip not just to get away, but to scout out areas where we can take our friends.


At Starbucks on the foothills of the mountain

We decided to stop by Starbucks on the way before we head up the 1 hour drive up the mountain. The area was very suburban. Not that many cars on the streets. A lot of "non colored" people. I felt like a minority haha. I was so happy to see a Taco Bell nearby and brought peace to my mind and eased my anxiety. I thought I was gonna stranded in Hicksville like in those movies.


Welcome to Big Bear

Eating before we scout the place

Village Dr.

Everyones eating ice cream...

It was tricky getting up the sludge of icemud

We're here

My future vacation home

We saw this little area down the way called Magic Mountain. Haha... It's this little snow field area where you can go sledding and slide in the snow.


Taking a ride on the Alpine Slide

This looked fun

My first time on a lift...

We got hungry immediately right after snowing and shopping, haha. We headed out to some Grill.. It got a 4 star rating I think. And i think it lied, haha. They were a bit understaffed. The wait was like 30 minutes long. And they didnt take our order til 10 minutes after we were seated. Not even a glass of water... The waitress was nice though... They didnt get a fat tip thats all I can say.... haha.


Sauces, Sauces

My hungry face

Flashback Dec. 5 2009

So here's what you missed on.. MARK!

December was a very hectic month for me, filled with emotional and physical highs and lows. I didn't want December to be exciting. I guess I just wanted it to be low-key. It's part of my own healing. I didn't want any distractions. Most of the month we just hung out somewhere and just chilled. i bought lot's of stuff... haha. And I finally got a PS3... I think I mentioned that in earlier blogs. but if I didn't it was probably because I was too busy playing with it. HAHA! So heres a few recaps of what happened in December.


South Coast Plaza

Bi-Polar Bear

Shopping =0)

And even more shopping... LA has so many malls haha.


Americana during December

Just hanging out.

Taking pics.

Its snowing!!

People waiting for the snow. Haha!
