Officially Old

I've done 22 of these. I'm a pro.

As long as I have someone by my side.



Happy New Year everyone. Part of my gifts for my family was a personalized calendar. We went to Europe this year and I wanted to make something to commemorate it. So I made a calendar of some of the pictures for 2004.

You can see them in the Media Section.

My motto this holiday was to realize all of the blessings God has given me.


I have realized these. I am blessed. We are all blessed. A lot of times, I concentrate on the things that I am not given, the things I can't do, opportunities that are not given to me. For the next year, I hope to concentrate on what I have and make the best of it.

happy birthday dad!

I haven't been here in a while.

It was my dad's birthday on the 20th. We celebrated it by watching LOTR. Serious butt cramps. Apparently, some obese girl in front of me threw up during the movie. My sister told me after.

It was a good movie though. DOn't worry I won't ruin it for anyone.

We went the "Body Shots Christmas Party". It was a party organized by the organizers of those famous filipino pageants. It's not as gay as you would think it would be. My mom's best buddy, Uncle Pete, was one of the main organizers. It was fairly entertaining. The Mendoza's almost cleaned up that night. My mom was a finalist in Musical Chairs. She entertained everyone with her dance moves.

We also got the best gift in Evil Santa. We also won the raffle for the biggest door prize worth more than $100. It was my $5 that won the prize, but my sister Melissa bought the tickets. She's the luckiest person I know.

I performed this morning with Geoff and Glen. We did that Christmas party we did last year. Except it was in a different venue with much more people. Video will be posted soon.

I haven't even seen Dy since I came back. That can't be good. I'll put that on high prio.

till next time.

also note that I do not work at RIM anymore. So for those of you who still email me there, I won't get it.

I brought it here

It's a different world in Toronto. At least it was.

As I was walking outside to Mel's Diner for lunch yesterday in Waterloo, the ground was covered in 5 inches of snow. I was walking ahead of the group in the sidewalk. All of a sudden, I step into a foot deep hole!!!

What is hole doing in the side walk? Of course I didn't see it because it was covered in snow. Half of one of my legs was covered in snow. Geez.

I told my dad, he told me a story about my mom. My mom was walking with her friend along a road. They were talking, then all of a sudden, my mom's friend disappeared. She was scared and it was late and dark. It turned out that my mom's friend fell into a man hole(sewer)! The cap was off.

She was ok tho.


anyways, happy christmas shopping!

Honey

I saw Honey with Dy, Geoff, and Czar on Saturday. As I was buying my ticket, Geoff handed me this coupon for the ticket.

The ticket salesperson says, "one dollar please". I was confused. $1 huh? I don't get it. That's a helluva coupon.

It was a pretty good movie. It was kind of a hip hop meet sister act meet the slamming jessica alba. whew.

The show featured lots of toronto people. I think everyone except the few main actors were from torono. Maestro was in it. DJ Starting from Scratch was in it. Dan and Josh were in it also.


The auditions for this movie were on the day of our Rising Star 2k2 finals. So we obviously couldn't make it. Dan and Josh said we should have been there. Ah well.

cleaning my plate

Things are starting to be cleaned off my plate.

I just finished hip hop for this term and I think I did pretty well on my final exam today.

I have a few things left to do, but I know I will definitely enjoy and cherish my Christmas holiday this year.

I'll be heading back to toronto in a few minutes. Hopefully I won't be stuck in too much traffic.

Have a good weekend everyone. I'll post the OUCH pictures this weekend.

spam on my site

Seriously what is this?

The dude doesn't even have the decency to leave his/her name or cool subject like PUR.CHa$e ViA_gR_A and En..Large..

I'll leave it there for now.

I'm using a new browser now called Mozilla Firebird. So far, it's dope and I highly recommend it.

That interview was published in our school newspaper. It was edited a bit and it's not totally accurate, but here it is.

I have my final tomorrow morning. Studying for it has been difficult. As you saw in the interview, I'm a superhero without the powers or motivation.

I watched the video from OUCH. It's not what I expected. The winners were good, but not as good as I remember. Either way, they were still the best. These should be posted by next week or so.

Lol

Yes Ray, Beeyotifull domain name!

I know you liked Europe but I dunno if you liked it enough to get a European domain name.

goodbye RIM

I officially told my employers I won't be returning. Though it will be an exciting year for RIM and I'd like to be a part of it, it's time to move on.

In other news, Mel, a uw hip hop exec, took like 200 pictures from ouch. I'll put them on my site because i know she doesn't want everyone having her imagestation account. I haven't even looked at all of them yet.

Geoff and I will be performing at a night club in toronto next friday the 12th at midnight. It's for the same company that we did last Christmas. That should be interesting.

I have a final on friday, and i'm looking forward to ending this course.

Congrats on OUCH

Hi Ray. Just wanted to congratulate you on successfully putting together OUCH. One of my friends is a dance member for York and she said that she had a good time and that it was a blast. Congrats again and good luck with co-op/school. Btw, would you happen to know anyone looking for a summer sublet? If so, please let me know. Thanks.

OUCH!

Yo, I think it went fairly well. We didn't win, but we weren't the best either, but we did come second so that's not bad. Here are the winners:





They deserved it.

Here are the results:

  1. Mcmaster Young'nz

  2. UW Hip Hop

  3. York Dance

  4. UW Dance

  5. Laurier



We were the only team with guys on it.



Paola and Terry from V.Y.B.E judged along with Mikey Bustos




Mikey was a crowd favourite. I have a funny video clip of him. He's holding the camera actually. I'll put it up some time.

Maestro ripped it up. I was suprised at his new tracks and lyrics. I got to have few conversations with him. He calls me, "Ray, the big man". haha.





This is me with Maestro's DJ Scam. This guy was cool.




Don't worry. I'll post more non-ray pics soon. The night went well. Everyone performed well.

Thus ends another hip hop term. Whether or not I'll be running it again is still up in the air.


Thanks to Dylan for wrapping the beautiful prizes. I don't anyone is better than her at doing that. Thanks for Sayson and fam for djing. Thanks to my brotha's geoff and glen for showing support. Thanks to Czar and leen for the support. Thanks for Teo for going nuts for me.


Thanks to my exec for an incredible job. Holy crap they did a lot of work. Thanks to Mikey and Lawrence for everything. Thanks to Arda and Xiang for hosting. Thanks to terry and paola for judging.

Thanks to everyone who packed up the bomber. The support and turnout were incredible.

One thing cleaned off my plate. I got a few more big ass pieces of chicken to swallow.

I'm too lazy to put a subject

My roomates

I think I have always lived with people who show obsessive compulsive behaviour. Like, Ray x 3.

I'll be on local radio tomorrow

I'll be on CKMS 100.3FM Radio Waterloo tomorrow at 9:30PM. I'll be promoting the hip hop competition, OUCH, and giving away tickets.

The show is called A-OK and hosted by Arda Ocal. Much thanks to the station and the host.

The website is http://radio2.feds.ca/aok/


You can catch the webcast here: http://stream.ckmsfm.ca:8000/high.mp3

....thanks for the text message....thanks for listening.

Obsessive Compulsive Personality

My girlfriend majors in English and Psychology so I'm pretty sure she knows what she's talking about when she says that I show symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Personality. It's a sign of a true friend when they warn you of your deviations and problems in life. It is always hard to tell some one this.

So these are the symptoms and some of them are incredibly accurate (for me).

A pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and
mental and interpersonal control, at the expense of flexibility, openness,
and efficiency, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of
contexts, as indicated by four (or more) of the following:
  1. is preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or
    schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost
  2. shows perfectionism that interferes with task completion (e.g., is unable to complete a project because his or her own overly strict standards are not
    met)
  3. is excessively devoted to work and productivity to the exclusion of
    leisure activities and friendships (not accounted for by obvious economic
    necessity)
  4. is overconscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about matters of
    morality, ethics, or values (not accounted for by cultural or religious identification)
  5. is unable to discard worn-out or worthless objects even when they have no sentimental value
  6. is reluctant to delegate tasks or to work with others unless they submit
    to exactly his or her way of doing things
  7. adopts a miserly spending style toward both self and others; money is
    viewed as something to be hoarded for future catastrophes
  8. shows rigidity and stubbornness


  9. so if you exhibit these symptoms, you are not alone.

Complicated

Yes Avril Lavigne said it best....relationships are complicated! They're also complicated enough without some faceless, nameless hoe getting in between.

Being apart is hard enough, I know you're extremely busy with everything but all I have to say is just...DEAL! It seems as though I'm getting all the crappy hands!

I see Hendrik's car...and i was like...
"hey what a coincidence...czar, lets go find where your brother is sitting"

then i see Booms head..and i was like..."whoa...they're here too? what a coincidence..."

then it clicked only AFTER they all said "surprise!!!"

I'm an idiot...BUT THANKS TO ALL!!!

i'm a loser baby

So why don't ya ... me

Interesting weekend. One positive thing that I can take from this weekend was that I was operating at near peak effeciency. I got a lot of work done.

On the other end of the shtick was today. After doing a decent amount of work, I flip on the raptor game and do work simultaneously. Raps get smoked. I do more work after the game. The positive: maybe that crazy trade might happen afterall.

Then I rush to my A-level vball playoff game. We win the first set. Then we have 3 match points in the second set, but eventually lose. Damn it. Ah well. Positive things from that: I played acceptably, more time for homework next week.

After that, I have a practice for hip hop. We run through for an hour or so then we perform for the Accounting Students association. Yes, I know, sounds massively geeky. We enter, and they're doing a date auction. I witness this chick pull in $50 from this dude. Whoa man.

I don't have a good vybe about this thing. Not a lot of people and it's in MC! Ah well. We get start and it's mad quiet and people are starring right into your grill. Ah man awkward. When will it end?

Positives: more practice..eh not much positives

You know I think I write code 12-16 hours a day. That's insane err I'm insane err I will be insane.

oo ooo oo there's a bit more...i did a quick and cheesy promo for the event on friday
http://www.geocities.com/uw_hiphop/ouch/

Also some pics from our performance at Loose change louie's here


So I know what you're thinking? Ray, you just do hip hop now? NO! 5th element has some shows coming up (friday) and 2 fridays after that.

Happy Birthday Geoff!

I want to take this opportunity to wish Geoff Reyes a happy birthday.



If you guys don't know, Geoff, aka Knaked Knight, aka SirBlurr is like my brother. He's always got my back no matter what.

Dy also sends her love. She says you are a good friend and a considerate boyfriend. Czar is one lucky chick.

Lakers pics

My Lakers vs Raptors pictures are up on my site finally.





this dude called brent

I talked to Brent yesterday over MSN. If you don't remember Brent, he's my boy from high school. His picture has been featured here on my site. Numerous searches for his name hit my site.

Anyways, I wanna say congratulations to him for being 1st runner up in the MTV Phillippines Best Model 2003 contest. He also won the "Best Body" Award. Apparently, he's ripped now. He gets to go to China for something in February.

that's amazing. Good job dude! We'll road trip and shop somewhere when you get back.

OUCH

I'm running a show. It's called OUCH (Ontario University Competition for Hip Hop). As the name connotes, it's a hip hop dance competition. It will be in waterloo. So far, we've got McMaster, Laurier, 2 teams from York, and 2 teams from Waterloo. It's unfortunate that UofT has done nothing all term.

What's interesting about this competition is that we're all University students struggling mightily with time management. So we'll see what these people can do with the little free time they have.

And that's not it. We've also got Canadian Idol finalist, Mikey Bustos, performing and judging. We also have hip hop legend, Maestro performing. If things work out as well, 5th Element will be spinning. As you know, Fresco of 5th Element did out logos e.g.


Friday November 28th
9PM competition starts
University of Waterloo, Bombshelter

$7 you go to waterloo
$9 you don't





....................................

I've got Chariots of Fire by Vangelis playing out of my MP3 collection right now. Weird. You don't know that song? Kazaa that.

WEATHER

Yes I'm under the weather right now. I left work early and knocked out for a few hours. A few people called me during my narcolepz. I talked to them. I don't know whom I talked to or what I talked about. So if I talked to you, hopefully we had a meaningful conversation.

till next time ladies and gentlemen....
