What I did on my bday

I have the worst hangover today. Too many drinks and drugs. The toilet is not my friend, he does not like me anymore. And my arm is still sore from my new tattoo.


If only all of that was true


I didn't want to do much on my birthday,
and that's what I did. You find out a lot about the people around you during your birthday. You should not, however, make a final judgement on people if they call you or not. When people can remember and call/contact me on my birthday, it means a lot.

I found out a lot about one particular person yesterday. What I found out is not good. This person has been in and out of my life and just talking to this person yesterday made me realize that I should not have much to do with him/her anymore.

On the other hand, thanks to everyone who said happy bday to me. I really appreciate it. Here are some random thoughts:

• Dy was a sweetie yesterday.


• Kuaz is my bro no matter how much we don't chill.


• Glen and Geoff are fam


• Lawrence is my favourite Crusty Catholic roommate, dave and joe are my favourite Dirty Protestant roommates


• Bernice is the only person I haven't met before and wished me happy birthday


• JRO and Teo are my favourite boys who are shorter than me


• Brent, you hold the title of blooper of the year, set this morning at around 2AM


• Rich, where's your sister?


• Mike, you better enjoy that lap dance from the ugliest chick


• I'm the HORSE champion winning two prizes paid by Rich, Mike and Brent


• Eileen and Melissa, thanks for all the wonderful gifts, you are the best sisters


• Jay and Dave, thanks for the gifts


• Thanks mom and dad, I owe you my life


• I'm glad I did not invite a lot of people. It was one of my more enjoyable birthdays in a long time

Life goes on. Good luck in the new year.

Merry Boxing Day

Merrry Christmas everybody. I hope you all had a good time with your family and friends during Christmas. This morning I went to the Futureshop boxing day sale. To my suprise, at 6am, it was already open and there were a lot of people there, and the salespeople were on crack. I was hoping to find some good deals, but there weren't many at all.

Tomorrow is my bday and I'm not looking to anything. Maybe I'll have the typical dinner, but not with a lot of people. Ah who knows.

I passed

I had my driving test for my G this morning. I passed. She said I "drive very well". Cool

It's my dad's bday today as well. Happy bday dude!

Earlier this week, one of my close friends, Aileen, lost her grandfather. All of our prayers and thoughts go out to her and her family.

If my zits could talk...

then they could think, then they can solve problems, then they can probably study and write my exams for me. Enough about my first break out in over a year.

Geoff, Glen, Breanne and I performed at the Granite Country Club. At first, they didn't let Breanne and Glen in the building because of the way they were dressed. What an eery start. After they knew we were the performers, it was ok. This place was nice. Once you walked through the door you knew you were in a place where people talk about their cars and furniture made out of money.

We set up and began to practice. This was our first practice with Breanne, but she caught up easily. If you don't know Breanne, she was in Rising Star in the Solo Vocal Category. I haven't seen her since (Geoff and Glen have), and we quickly remembered how good she was.

This was a kids Christmas show. Lots of parents, lots of kids, lots of clowns. We being the only teenagers and early 20s people there, we were looked at funny. The men there also kept staring at Breanne...these rich dudes want everything.

Our performance was cool, some mess ups and miscues by everyone, but it's ok. No judges. After the performance, we had a little training session with the kids where they learned some moves. There were so many of them, it was hard to teach the all, but had fun. We also learned that Ketchup dance. Yeah.

Ok, back to studying. One more exam, one more project.

That's about all folks! The Lam Cam's been disconnected and the whole room is empty now. My parents came today to bring almost everything back to Toronto. After the exam I'm gonna hop on a bus express to T-dot and enjoy the holidays. Good luck with the rest of your exams. It's been an interesting term.

JOBS

Hi everybody...ok...i've got a proposition for anybody living in or going to school in the downtown area....
a job opportunity in the new year if anybody is STILL looking for a job...the job is i guess a clerk in a gift/card shop. work is a couple days during the week and a day on the weekend...employer is understanding and flexible with hours but want someone to work mostly nights.
For more info either ask Ray...he should know something...

Hey Ray...if you dont know direct them to me!!
thanks bud

I'm too lazy to put a subject

H3y Ray. juss brozin. dis is Ginhette. just wanna try sumthingso dun mind meeh! alritey SAMANTHA TONEY

Coming home this weekend

I have an exam tomorrow from 9-12. After that, I head home to Toronto. The show is on Sunday and we're thinking of doing that tribute show we were talking about in the summer (Since we have more time to perform).


Yesterday, I wrote my Digital Circuit Design Final. It was a 23 page monster. You had to work really hard for a 4 mark question. I wouldn't say that it was a hard exam, it was long. It was supposed to be a 3 hour exam, but really it was written as a 4 hour exam. I remember about half way through, my brain got toasted because I was writing and thinking so much. My brain was so toasted I forgot how to read. So I stopped and did nothing for 2 minutes and then the trauma wore off and I began my frenzy. I finished the exam, but I didn't have time to check it over properly. To me, that's not finishing it.

I also went to confession last night with Lawrence...

I'm enjoying the few moments I'm not studying or writing exams or doing my project.

Lots to do

There's no shortage of things to do, but there is shortage of sleep. I've found that studying for my exams was harder than originally thought. There was a lot of material this term and for courses like CS you have to know every little detail.

Here's an abbreviated list

• Thurs 12:Digital Circuit Design Exam


• Thurs 12:friend's bday


• Sat 14:Chaos and Fractals Exam


• Sat 14:practice for show on sun in Toronto


• Sun 15:Christmas Show in Toronto


• Mon 16:Sequential Programming Exam


• Thurs 19:Chaos and Fractals Project Due (20% of my mark)


• Mon 23:Driving exam(Was supposed to be this week, but that would be too much)

I might have put a little too much on my plate this month. If you see me this holiday though, that means I survived.

Lam Cam on the Road

1 down...I went to bed at 10:30 hoping to get soem extra sleep...everytime I do this I end up waking up early. I woke up at 12:44 am...I didn't get back to bed until 3:30 am. I called a friend, then I went online and chatted a bit but still couldn't sleep until about 3:30. Well, at least I still got my 7 hours...although I would have liked to have much more. Fish is good for brain food, which is why it smells more when I cook. But the exam was easy enough. I'm sure I passed.

Google

I searched for my name, "Raymond Mendoza", on Google for some boring reason, then My site came up. Weird. I guess.

Most of us are studying for finals. I've got one tomorrow. We have to remember that the QUALITY of studying is more important than the QUANTITY of studying. It seems obvious, but I find myself trying to study a lot without getting much done.

I try to stay motivated in any way possible. It is really difficult. I'm looking already past exams to Christmas, some birthdays, new years and my new job(s).

Oh yeah, I'm considering getting a part time job aside from my software development job at Research in Motion. Cat might be able to hook me up at a Bubble Tea place, though I'm not the hugest fan of bubble tea, but I do like it.

I love run-on sentences, don't you because sometimes they are therapeutic and at night, birds fly south.


And always remember that every 2-connected graph has a 6 flow even though the Petersen Graph has no 4 flow. You can always convert a mod-k flow by finding a directed path from a vertex of positive net flow to a vertex of negative net out flow and reversing the edge directions. One last thing, there is always a perfect matching in a graph if for every subset X, |X| >= the number of odd components in the graph without X. That one will work all the time with the ladies.

Waking Up

Last Sunday's gospel reading ended with the words: "Keep Awake". So I gotta wake up and get busy. Not only is it Advent, it's also exam time. Lectures are over and there's one final hurdle. Final exams. As much as I can't wait to get back home for Christmas, I know I gotta keep focused for just a bit more.

Got in a minor accident

Slippery road...car ahead of me lost control and hit the curb...I was thinking "What the heck is wrong with this person?"

Next thing I know, I lose control and hit the curb too. I bounce of the curb and slide around and nudge the other car a bit. Barely noticeable scratches on two old cars. So it fits.

Ray, there are only so many Don slots...this doesn't mean you're not Don material...it just means that there are more people who are Don material than they have room for and something's gotta give. Just chalk it up as bad luck in the game of random draws. Either that or the Residence Life Group really screwed up...I really thought I'd hafta go lookin for another roomate.

Rejection is not something we like, no matter what we're going for whether we really want it or not...so don't worry bout it.

If resumes were made...

up of disappointments, then I'd have a stellar one to show you.

Got a letter today. I won't be a don.
Disappointing?
Yes
End of the World?
Definitely not

I get to live with my current roommates in the summer, so that should be cool. Apparently, I'm not don material. I don't know exactly what that is, but according to the Waterloo Residence Life Group, I'm not. But hey, that's what life is about: finding who you are and just as important, who you are not.

Over the years, I've found out who I am not (or not going to be):

• A don


• A medical doctor


• A singer


• An accountant


• An expert in Graph Theory and History (how ever they relate)


• technical support


• A failure

And that's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there's more. I've tried to become all of those things mentioned in the list except I never tried to become a singer, I just CAN'T sing, and I really never tried to be a failure since failure is just a consequence. I've tried and discovered. I'm sure there will be many more things in my life that I'll try and not like. That does not mean I'm not gonna try things.


I won't be a don and I think I'm making too big a deal out of this by having this long entry. But this rejection has just put some things into perspective.

Onto new things and new experiences....

Thanks Tara for your support!

There's got to be more to life than this

Everyday, I try not to just go with the flow. I think society's tide is a dangerous one to get caught up in. You could drown in it and not even know it.

They are still out on who gets to be a don. They were supposed to make the decision by Monday, but they didn't. There are probably borderline people(possible me) who they are considering not don material. Who really knows? I'll let you all know either way.

The beat goes on da da dum da dum da da.

I survived lab 3

Lab 3 for ECE 241 was crazy. I was in that lab for 8 hours. That's like watching Titanic twice followed by a good Adam Sandler film. 2 of those hours were due to instrumentation not working. It was so frustrating. Ray, are you taking 241 next term? Be prepared...

Crazy!!!

I can't wait till exams and just classes in general are over. These upcoming weeks are going to be crazy!!!

Ray, thanks for coming home this weekend, I really appreciate it.

I practice with Geoff and Glen on friday and chilled out with dy.

We had a pretty good practice and we have a new routine choreographed by Geoff to "Lose Yourself"(eminem).

This should be a fun performance. It's nice to be back home. Unfortunately, I'm coming back to waterloo shortly.

I went to Toronto yesterday to watch the raptor game with some of my friends from Waterloo. It was cool, but they lost on a last second miss by Antonio. That's okay though because it was an entertaining game.

I performed with the Hip hop club on Wednesday for the Accounting Talent show. I never knew accountants had talent. Evidently, they don't. Neither do computer scientists or engineers.

I will be heading back to toronto for the weekend. I'm leaving friday at about noon. I have practice on friday for our show on December 15th. Hopefully we can get some stuff done. I have a lot of studying to do as well. Finals are coming up in 2 weeks exactly. And I just realized that. Damn...

Also, today is a special day. It's the Knaked Knight himself, Geoff Reyes' birthday. Happy bday bro...

Happy Birthday Geoff!

I'm too lazy to put a subject

So I had this weird but cool dream last night....It was a bright sunny day and I was playing a game of 2 on 2 b-ball. My teammate was this guy named Tracy McGrady. Yeah, he would always pass the ball to me and I'd always get the ball in. We laid the smackdown on the other pair....but I think we were playing against two tall black women from WNBA...I can't really remember, because the next thing I knew I was at the ACC with all my cousins and uncles and we were getting our picture taken. T-Mac was holding the camera and taking the picture. Before I knew it, we went rock climbing, well, sorta....we were in some sports store and T-Mac just threw a bunch of coloured suction cup things on the shelves and hence the holds that we could use to climb the wall...I got up like 2 feet off the ground when my cell phone rang. Not long afterwards I woke up.

Who am I?

I haven't been quite myself at times during the past week. It's probably the lack of sleep. Last night, I was dreaming in digital circuits. That's really annoying.

I had my don interview on Thursday. It went okay I think. It was hard to get a feel for how I did because the interviewers spent most of their time writing. I'm not expecting anything.

On the same day(14th) was Dy and I's 4 year and 5month anniversary. Wow

On friday, there was GroundFX 5 at the SLC in Waterloo. We battled Western. The quality of the battle was ok, but we were the better crew. Tripline was there. They were pretty crazy. The battled some of Supernat/drunken monks

doot doot doot...

Good luck!

Hey Raymond! Hope the don interview went well this past Thursday...good luck and hopefully you do get it...especially @ MKV (air-conditioned!). Realized that you had your own web page through the 5th element web page, so just wanted to drop by to say hi. That's about it...see you around campus.

Don't worry, it's almost over!

Each new pimple on my face is testament to 8 hours of lost sleep.

I must have missed a lot of sleep.

There still is a chance...

that I might be a don. If you can recall, the weekend, Dy, Mark and Geoff came over, I had a group interview to be a don. Like I said before, there is a slim chance I might be a don because there are only like four spots and 50 applicants. Also, I had to get passed the group interview and get invited for a personal interview.

Well, I got that invitation. My interview is on Thursday and it's probably going to be in front of a panel of four or five people. I've been through quite a bit of interviews so I don't think I'll be nervous. I just have to go in there and be myself.

Hi Ray

Hey ray. I'm glad you had a relaxing weekend. Thanks for coming home, can't wait till you visit again. I'm craving...Waterloo bubble tea and that food from that place Lawrence took us to, yummy chicken torpedos!!! Well, see ya soon.

Love ya lots,

A cheap new toy

I went back to scarborough last weekend and I picked up a cheap toy for 10 bucks. It's the Creative PC Remote. It's a remote small remote and receiver that I can use to control my mp3 players and dvd players like winamp and powerdvd. For $10 it's worth it.

I was home briefly this weekend. I watched 8mile, I'm not gonna comment about it, but I suggest you watch it (don't watch "the ring" if you're the type to get freaked). It was getting a tad rowdy in the theatre, but at least this was the early show.

I had time to spend with my family, since I haven't been home in a month, and Dy. It was a pretty relaxing weekend. I didn't do a whole lot of work, but that's ok since I just recovered from midterms.

What's messed up is that there are only three weeks of class left, which means fafafafafinals. And I just noticed that I haven't done what I wanted to do with this site. I'm hosting some Vince videos and they have got downloaded a lot. I need to work on some features for this site.

One thing my last performance taught me was that I need to practice more. I practice too little. I have two shows on December 15th. Geoff, Glen and I have the pleasure to be performing with one of the Rising Star Finalists. She's a crazy talented singer and dancer. This should be a good one.

Did you really read all this? Superskills? I can't audition, if they can hook it up, I'm down.

Thanks Ray Rah

Hey ray, this past weekend was great! Thanks for all the stuff and I'm glad that you like the sweater...hahahah. Thanks also to Mark and Geoff for coming and especially thanks to Mark for driving....sorry Mark, I tried to stay awake on the way back but my eyes kept on closing.

I really appreciate you guys coming, I'm glad you had fun....I miss ray already, when's the next trip?

-dy

Thanks to my visitors

I did a lot of work friday afternoon, then Dy, Mark and Geoff came over friday night. I showed them my place, and we went out to find some grub. We ended up getting some bubble tea and some Pitas. Oh yeah, before that, we dropped by the SLC for breaking practice. We brought the food back to my place and watched some TV. Mark was getting tired of chewing since he stuffed his pita with everything including the stuff that fell on the floor. Geoff finished first and found that one black olive he put in his pita. We got on the bus, and then just chilled out in my room till like 5am.

8am: I wake up somehow because I have a group interview to be a don. It was really hot in the basement because there were four people there. Dy drives me to the interview and I can barely open my eyes. I spend two hours going through all these stations that test your skills at being a don. I wouldn't mind being a don, and I wouldn't mind not being a don. It would be a bonus to be one, but it's definitely not the end of the world if I don't become one. The chances are slim since there are only 4 spots open with 50 applicants.

Anyways, after the interview, I get picked up by Mark, Dy and Geoff and we head to Mel's diner for some breakfast. After waiting in line outside for 15 minutes, we get seated, order and wait 30min for our food. We finish in about 20 min, and it was good food, but the place reminds me of that place in Road Trip.

Man, I have to go to class. I'll continue this later.

Mark Sayson?

I was looking for some raptors' pictures and i came across this one of a guy at a raptors game. He looks eerily like my friend, Mark Sayson, except this guy looks like a future/present child molester. Putting it like that, maybe it is Mark...

Poor Ray Rah!!!

Hey ray, I know how you feel, school sucks! School Sucks! Just joking, it's the greatest experience of my life.... Anyways, I can't wait till you come home, maybe i'll come and visit you instead...as we figured it out, in only about 3 weeks. Hey, we'll make it, right? See you then hot stuff.

In the middle of midterms

I have midterms, assignments, interviews, speeches, hip hop and breaking practices all mixed up in the next couple of weeks. I've got my work set.

I'm excited for the Raptors' season this year, although it the outlook doesn't look totally positive.

I miss everyone. It gets pretty lonely up here. I got an email from Carla the other day. She and Nic are having a wonderful experience bringing life into the world. We're all happy for them.


That's all for now. I promise more updates when things slow down (Next week). For now, it's just the journal. I am putting up another web cam too.

Spy Camera

rain or snow?

It says rain or snow on the forecast. What?

I had a pretty bad interview yesterday. I guess I can cross that job off the list

This is the busiest time for me right now. I have barely any time.

Can't wait for the raptor season to start. At least it starts AFTER midterms. We don't have cable here, though, so I'll miss some games.

I added some videos of Vince Carter when he was in China this summer. Check them out

I miss you both

for dy

Miss you too...

ok

I have some videos I want to post and a lot pictures to put. I haven't found time to do so. I'm a lazy ass.

Raptors are 0 for 3 in the preseason, but that does not matter because I remember last year, they played well in the preason and got smoked in their first two games of the regular season.

I have a group interview with Sybase and individual interview tomorrow. I have a Digital Circuit design lab demo and graph theory assignment due on thursday, a Chaos and Fractals paper due friday, midterm on monday. My week is pretty much set, but it's not that bad/

Goodbye sanity.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving to all. If you have celebrated it, or are on monday, please remember that no matter what hardships or stress we are undertaking, we always have something to be thankful for. There are other people in the world that have to deal with a lot more than we do. I'm not saying to be thankful that we are not those people, but instead, thankful for the situations we are in. Take a moment to appreciate those around you that make your lives better.

Life is about relationships. We cannot take them for granted.

In loving memory

I just heard that one of my friends mom had died. I knew she was battling cancer and unfortunately cancer won. Let's all remember Mrs. Roberto and her family in our prayers. It's a new beginning for her. Her time with God is now.

New Camera

I'm going to bring my extra camera from home and secretly set it up in my roommates rooms. Well I guess it won't be a secret, but I am gonna do it.

Camera

I didn't really like where the camera was....so I moved it.

Interview and Midterm

I have an interview with Dimension Strategies today. It's a software, data warehousing, consulting company. I also have a Sequential Programming midterm today. Hope everyone has a good day.

And the beat goes on.

The Weekend

So.....my weekend will consist of, doing tons and tons and tons and tons of reading. A little mix of ray, Eileen's birthday, thanksgiving at the Mendoza's and waiting for ray to make some time for us, oh and probably helping ray pick out a new bike. Anyone want to trade? How about u ray?

Lucky U!!!

Must be nice to have time on your hands to get to see the Raptors. Good thing you made some time in your busy schedule to watch the game or else it would have been a missed opportunity for sure. I haven't seen Vince since the charity game. Hope you had fun...cause you deserve it you hard worker!!!

The Raptors Intrasquad game

I went to the Raptors' intrasquad game at Waterloo and it was well worth the
5 bucks to get in. There were 2 teams, purple and white. Vince, Antonio,
Mo Pete, Hunter and Mamadou were on Purple. I'm not gonna list the teams
but this is what I got from that game:

1. Vince looked like old Vince, which was bad in the begining of the game.
   i.e. disappeared on offence/defense, too many jumpers, lack of focus. By
   the second half, his whole demeanour changed. He communicated well on
   offense, played hard defense and got his team to tie from a 12 point deficit
   heading into the quarter. In the huddles, he always kept his focus, even
   when he wasn't one of the five on court, he'd be the sixth guy in the
   huddle, also the first off the bench to congradulate his team. He threw
   down a nasty one handed dunk to tie the game which made the whole gym errupt
   in the 3rd (He also made a 360 look too easy in warmups). I can tell you
   this, nothing like that was ever done on a waterloo rim. For Vince, things
   look promising. He is a changed man. I remember the open practice at the
   ACC, and he's totally different from that.
   
2. Mamadou was impressive. He worked hard on the boards, on defence, very
   athletic and active. He doesn't have great hands and is not as athletic as
   Keon, but from the game, he can put in a productive 10 minutes a game at
   least. He does need work.
   
3. Bradley and Huffman did not look very good. They looked awkward and
   lost. They need some work.
   
4. Jeffries is still a bit shaky with the knee, but he looks like he can be
   really good. He needs to assert himself more, he has the talent. He also
   hit the eventual game winning 3 point shot with 7 seconds left.
   
5. Mo Pete lit it up after Vince went to the bench (from bringing his team
   back from 12). Mo can light things up on home court, but I want to see him
   prove himself on an away court. He looks poised and ready for the season.
   
6. AD looked tired, and not very impressive. He looks like the guy who
   worked the hardest all week, but his body looked too tired for the game. He
   did not play much and was ineffective when he did. We all know what we'll
   get from him.
   
7. Lindsey hunter and Murray look impressive. Lindsey can definitely
   handle and shoot and he is quicker than I thought he'd be. I like the
   addition. He lacks the toughness of Childs though, but at least he is in
   shape at training camp. Murray showed he can do what he does, score. He's
   a perimeter player and doesn't take it to the rim that much. He looked a
   bit over weight, but conditioned. He can score.
   
8. Jerod Ward and McCoy played well. They look like they deserve a spot on
   the team. At least more than Huff and Brad. Jermaine Jackson was crap with
   shooting, but he was ok otherwise. Jermaine was frustrated. Alvin didn't
   play.

I did not see the whole training camp, so I'm reporting what I saw in the
game. This season looks promising. I wouldn't believe it till I saw it,
but Vince is a new man.

Here's to a successful season.

raptors have training camp in waterloo

Isn't that a bonus? They are all here right now. You know I always wanted a Yogi Stewart jersey. Seriously. Maybe they have one lying around somewhere.

In other news, we are doing another competition in a month or so. The date has not yet been set, but the competition will be run by 'In tha dot', aka those at 410-WORD. That should be fun.

We are also doing a Christmas show Dec 15th.

I recently joined the Waterloo hip hop club here. I will be performing sometime. I still have to attend a uw breaker thing. We'll see how that goes.

Lately, I haven't had much comment on things. Anyways, here are the things that I'm working on right now:

• A guestbook where you can leave audio/video and text messages


• The Rising Star 2002 videos


• My Resume package (CO-OP crap)


• My Girlfriend's bday

I have some more Natural Noyze clips to put up. If you haven't seen any of them, check the media section NOW.

Hey RAY...i thought i'd share with the world what a wonderful birthday i had on FRIDAY the 13th...oooo...spooky...lolz
Tonic was definitly an experience, just wish this guy wouldn't smoke his cigar so close to me, i could barely breath. Passing out on the dance floor is not a good way to celebrate your birthday. all in all, it was a good experience. Baby Yu was great as usual.

September 11 just passed

and it makes us remember how petty our personal problems really are. I hope we all remember how precious life is and we don't fall into the routine life seems to be.

New video and what a summer

I put up a video that many of you may have seen. It's funny how our minds work. Check out the Media section.


Yeah it was quite a summer. It was one of the better summers in a while. Performing at Revival Night club (which reminds me to post videos of that), going to Niagara Falls for the weekend, performing at the Civic Center as a special guest, going camping at Cape Croker, wisdom teeth, cousings from cali, Rising star, the wack fashion show, our adventures for Mark's birthday (what do you do when the birthday boy passes out on the roof of a school?) Looking back at my other summers, it's easy to see how things have changed, but regardless, things are good.


I am looking forward this term and I hope to succeed. I am taking Linear Programming, Digital Circuits, Chaos and Fractals, Graph Theory and Public Speaking. Should be fun.

Moved in

I'm all moved into my new Waterloo home. It was pretty dirty in here, but thanks to my parents and Dylan, it's all pretty clean. We worked hard today to get the place decent. I'm in the basement and fairly happy down here. I'll put some pictures up soon. Damn school tomorrow.

RAY DUDE!

PUT UP A VIDEO OF D SHOW DUDE!

U of Waterloo and U of Toronto don't mix

We did a favour last thursday and we were going to perform for U of T's frosh fashion show. We were supposed to be the finale of the show, but it was so badly organized that we didn't even get to go on. The organizers were really stupid.


I moved some of my stuff to Waterloo on friday with dave. My place is not as nice as last term's, but I have the basement to myself. I officially move in Sunday.

4th is better than it sounds

When I tell people we came fourth, they look at me like it sucks. It really doesn't. We beat all the solo and group dancers, some of the solo and group vocalists. Also, these were the finals, there were four rounds of competition and these finalists are all really wicked. I couldn't believe we beat most of them, and we did it with none of our crowd there. Another thing is that the three that did beat us were in the finals four times each. this is our first time. We are also the only act that hasn't had any formal training within a school. We did the whole thing by ourselves. So we do have something to be proud of. I guess 4th out of 150+ ain't bad.


Anyways, I added some pictures from that day. These pictures are from a real camera, not a video camera. All of them are in the media section.

We're number four

The three competitors that beat us were opera singers, and very good ones (in
order:Lisa Da Maria, Darrell Hicks, and Elliot Madore and Chrisie Menzo (duet)) . We did not bring our A game yesterday, but it was acceptable. As for
me, I was a too much energy, much less control...kinda like the first round. Here's
a video clip of the top three. These people are really good.

We did, however, beat some other very excellent talent (their videos will be up
later). At dress rehearsal, I was thinking, damn, we aren't gonna win anything.
We did, $250 is better than nothing. The experience was incredible. A lot of fun
hanging out with all the contestants, chilling in the bandshell backstage and
dressing room, and of course performing in front of 2000+ people and being fourth
place out of 150+ is not bad. We're not american idols, but whatever.

We actually put this show together 3 weeks ago, and we've produced pretty solid results. Thanks to GOD for giving us the strength and perseverance to do this. Thanks to Geoff and Glen for working hard. Thanks to our constant supporters : Mom, Dad, Eileen, Melissa, Dylan, Aileen, Mike Cueva, Jovi and import flavour, and the reyes family.

As for the rest of you who mildly supported us, thanks too. Our support was very disappointing and it taught us an important lesson. Any goals and aspirations cannot be fulfilled by relying on others. We put together our best show ever in a very short time. This show was clearly steps and bounds above from last year's gimmick filled show, and 2000's sloppy dancing with decent vocal acrobatics. We had no crowd, we had to earn their respect. In the finals, we had to go after last year's grand champions (guest appearance). We worked for everything and earned every clap, cheer, and compliment. That's what I'm most proud of.

So where's our video? You'll see it in a few weeks...too bad you didn't see it
recently. In the meantime, I'll eventually put up some videos from other contestants
and our Jazz show earlier this summer.

We're number four

The three competitors that beat us were opera singers, and very good ones (in
order:Lisa Da Maria, Darrell Hicks, and Elliot Madore and Chrisie Menzo (duet)) . We did not bring our A game yesterday, but it was acceptable. As for
me, I was a too much energy, much less control...kinda like the first round. Here's
a video clip of the top three. These people are really good.

We did, however, beat some other very excellent talent (their videos will be up
later). At dress rehearsal, I was thinking, damn, we aren't gonna win anything.
We did, $250 is better than nothing. The experience was incredible. A lot of fun
hanging out with all the contestants, chilling in the bandshell backstage and
dressing room, and of course performing in front of 2000+ people and being fourth
place out of 150+ is not bad. We're not american idols, but whatever.

We actually put this show together 3 weeks ago, and we've produced pretty solid results. Thanks to GOD for giving us the strength and perseverance to do this. Thanks to Geoff and Glen for working hard. Thanks to our constant supporters : Mom, Dad, Eileen, Melissa, Dylan, Aileen, Mike Cueva, Jovi and import flavour, and the reyes family.

As for the rest of you who mildly supported us, thanks too. Our support was very disappointing and it taught us an important lesson. Any goals and aspirations cannot be fulfilled by relying on others. We put together our best show ever in a very short time. This show was clearly steps and bounds above from last year's gimmick filled show, and 2000's sloppy dancing with decent vocal acrobatics. We had no crowd, we had to earn their respect.

Rising Star the 29th

I didn't put up the pictures I said I would, but I've just been a little busy. We have the semis this thursday.

We've been asked to perform for some car show this long weekend (www.thefirstepisode.com). Also, someone came up to us after the last show and asked if we were interested in some beatboxing shows or something. There is also word of a dance audition for a Jessica Alba movie.

The bad and good thing about our shows so far is that we don't have as many people coming out to watch and we haven't performed our best. So most of you haven't seen us, so come out and watch tomorrow and we'll perform the best we have all year. Please help us go to the finals.
