Good Morning!

Happy Friday :)

I got back home early this morning about 3 AM from the club. I woke up early in the morning cause I had to drive my lil' sister to school. I always do this every Friday. Every single time, I can't seem to go back to sleep and so I just stay up the rest of the day. Usually, the feeling of sleepiness doesn't hit me til mid day like around 2 or 3...take the power nap and then do some homework.

I heard that Jocelyn Enriquez was suppose to be at Stonestown today (Tower Records). She has a new album out, All My Life. I want to go and check her out and see how she looks and want to hear her latest CD. She hasn't been in the music scene for a long time, but her songs are still being played in the radio. One of the very few Asians (Filipina to be exact) that made an impact in the music industry.

I have noticed that Asians have been struggling in the music industry. Infact, many of the minorities have struggled to be included in the main stream music industry. What are the causes for minorities to struggle in main stream music industry? I know for the fact that there are people out there that are fans. So, we as a community need to figure out ways to break through and make it into mainstream America. How do you feel?

So it's Thursday and I am finally home....

I had to drop a class this semester cause I have to many things going on at once. First, I have 19 units this semester. I only go to Tuesday and Thursday classes. Tuesday is my full day and it starts at 8AM and doesn't end til 7PM. I have work and it's almost full time. Next, I have PCN to worry about because I would like to act and dance(both cultural, modern, and cha cha). Try out are next week and I am hoping that I can make atleast cha cha, but ultimately I am going to modern! Do the DAMN thang BOY! Lastly, I have my internship. GEBUS, sooooo many things at once. Some how I always manage to balance everything out at the end and I am very lucky that I usually don't end up in some sort of nervous break down....

Going out tonight and practice some of the dance move that I learn from yesterday's dance class

DANCE IS THE MISSION

I wasn't fully aware that certain hiphop classes were being held in the mission district. I learned and heard it from my buddy-o-pal of mine. James told me about these classes and so yesterday I decided to join him. I really enjoyed the beginning and the advance classes. Since I am a beginner and have never taken any classes, I felt so out of place. People around me knew the routine and was dancing their asses off including James. Mr. I know how to dance but I pretend that I don't know how so that my friend will not be angry at me! Hmmmph! That's okay cause I know that James is super duper dope and he got gigs! The boy can move EEEEREYTHING! So I watch myself and made sure not to make myself look foolish. I actually got most of the moves down. I was impressed with myself. PROPS! As for the advance, I was so terrified cause I seriously could not get some of the moves down. I was getting irritated but I never give up that easily.

After the Dance Mission, James and I talked about coming back ad taking more classes cause we both are eager to learn dance moves and show them off...LOL! We both are coming back on Monday...hopefully I will see some of you guys there!

Taking off to take a power nap...
