Drag

After dance class some of us went to go eat at Pho Citi in West Hollywood. As we are eating we talked about dancing and Derek mentions Wacking. Valerie asked what is wacking. Derek decides to demonstrate what wacking is. As he was going at it and he was totall werking. One of the servers comes up and says to Derek - "Oh my God! Are you a drag queen?"

We practically died of laughter.

For those of you who don't know what wacking is - here is a video:

Audition

If you don't know already I was on an episode of Your Chance to Dance. I'll post the show once it is available online but for your viewing pleasure here is our audition video.

Heard this song in Hawai'i. Kind of love it.

Bigz

Dad

OMG! I'm sure this is how my parents would react with the iPhone.

iphone 4 commercial - Dad - watch more funny videos

Chat Roulette

I think this was genius on how they are promoting the movie - The Last Exorcism.

Cancelled

Those of you who were planning to come to our viewing party tomorrow the event has been cancelled. The networked moved our episode to a later date. I'll keep you posted.

Real or Fake?

This video has over 2 million hits. There's a huge discussion whether it's real or fake. Watch the video and you decide.

Target

Although I don't approve of Target's donation to a political candidate their recent show in New York was genius. The choreography of lights and also the dancer in each window. This was brilliant!!!

Coretta Scott King

Although this speech was at the 1996 Atlanta Pride a lot of it still applies today. Your spirit lives on Coretta Scott King. WE SHALL OVERCOME!

Destiny's Child

Grocery

Grocery shopping should be this fun.

Steps

One step forward, one step back, one step forward, and another step back. Seems to be what's happening with Gay Marriage. Forget the steps let's take one giant leap.

Too Legit

I've started taking many dance classes and Lamesha Vine is one of the instructors I am taking on a regular basis. I LOVE her style. This is one of the combos I learned. I'm not in the video but I love the routine so much. It's so high energy and although it's only like 45 seconds long everyone in the class after we are done were out of breath. Enjoy!

Rent

I was able to see Rent at the Hollywood Bowl this past weekend. Luckily my friend had an extra ticket. What a pleasant surprise was Nicole Scherzinger. Well more than pleasantly surprised. She KILLED it!!! It was nice to see her do something other than her PCD stuff. Enjoy the video.

How Many?

Recently a friend of mine asked me how many dance classes I take in a week. I actually could not answer that. My response was - A LOT!. Well I thought I would figure it out. I'll lay out all the classes I've taken or can take weekly. Granted I don't take every single class in a week.

Mondays

Gold's Gym - 10:30 a.m. & 7 p.m., 24 Hour - 5 p.m. - 3 Classes

Tuesdays

Gold's Gym - 12 p.m. , Edge - 5:30 p.m., 24 Hour Fitness - 8 p.m. - 3 Classes

Wednesdays

Gold's Gym - 10:30 a.m., 6 p.m., 7 p.m., Balliamos - 8:30 p.m. - 4 Classes

Thursdays

Gold's Gym - 12 p.m., Edge - 5:30 p.m. Sweat Spot - 8:30 p.m. - 3 Classes

Fridays

None

Saturdays

NOHO Pac - 12 p.m. - 1 Class

Sundays

Balliamos - 12 p.m., Edge - 3 p.m. - 2 Classes

Total in a week I can take 16 classes. Just to let you know I don't take 16 classes in a week. On average I take 6-8 classes a week. Too much? What do you think?

Oh Adam Levine!

BuZay

So things have been extremely busy as of late which explains the lack of posts. Now I'm working full time back at my previous company. It's nice to be back and getting a regular paycheck. In addition I have been dancing a lot as well. It's just great to do something that I really enjoy doing. So my life has been consumed as of late due to work and dancing. I do apologize to my friends whom got accustom to seeing me on a regular basis especially to the Thursday Marix crew. I will skip a class just for you one week. :P

OrieYentas

Presenting the OrieYentas.

Stefano

Bye Stefano! We Miss You. Hope you're having in Europe. We'll see you soon - hopefully this summer.

Audition

Recently I was asked to dance with a group friends from the various dance classes I go to. Turns out we were going to audition for a new dance competition show. We learned the combo the morning of the audition and went straight into it.

We didn't do our best but it seemed that they liked us a lot. We'll see what happens. We named ourselves the Oriyentas because the group is made up of Asians and Jews. haha.

To get an idea of what we did - go to 2:35 of the J Lo Music Video Get Right. We did the break down section. Enjoy!

Just for Funsy

Working

So I haven't blogged in a while and it's for good reason. I am now back to working. Well part-time but at least I am working and getting a paycheck. Will update soon. I promise.

K-Pop

For some odd reason recently I have been on a Korean Pop or K-Pop binge specifically their girl and guy groups. Although I don't know what they're saying the songs are pretty catchy. If you have heard of Wondergirls and their song Nobody you know what I am talking about. Here are several other groups that I've been listening too. If you happen to listen to K-Pop let me know what others I should be listening to.

Dave

Good luck in San Francisco Dave. You'll be missed. I'll come visit soon.

Sing

There has been a barrage of people on youtube singing. A lot of them good but a lot of them BAD!!! I know they are doing this for fun but if people are watching it just as I am - I'm ridiculing them, laughing, and sharing it with others. I'm not sure if these people think that they are talented and can sing but they are continually posting videos. Because of this I subscribe to see what they come up with next. They actually become internet celebrities and sometimes get thousands of hits per video. If you can bare them - below are some examples. One is a link as they did not allow embedding videos. Good luck and enjoy!

Telephone

I've started to take dance classes at the Edge Performing Arts Center in Hollywood and I'm loving it. I'm hoping to start taking other classes. Below are a couple videos from the hip hop class I take.

Choreography: Ben Allen

Music: Telphone by Lada Gaga featuring Beyonce

Mo'Nique

I LOVE me some Mo'Nique. She is hilarious. Watch her stand up video below from the Queens of Comedy and then watch her work it out on the BET Awards. WERK!

Positives

In my previous post I talk about having my car which was not the highlight of the day. I did however have positives happen.

In the morning at the gym as I was leaving an older man comes up to me and said that I inspired to do push ups as he saw me doing them.

I do push ups after I've done some stomach exercises. It's a great end to my workout.

Later in the evening I went to my first hip hop class at the Edge Performing Arts Center. After class a woman who was taking the class came up to me and said that she was watching me and said how good I was. How sweet!

For those who know me I LOVE to dance and having someone watch me enjoy what I love to do was probably the best compliment I could hear.

Positives. Always think of the positive things of the day and it makes your day worthwhile. With these two highlights of what happened in my day it was a nice day. My car dying was just a minor blip.

Headlights

I know I have a bad habit of leaving my headlights on. I have done this way too many times. Again, it happened tonight after my last hip hop class in West Hollywood.

I did massive texts to those that I knew that lived in the area. Thank goodness for James and Chord who jumped my car.

Lesson - double check my car to make sure lights are off so I'm not in that situation again.

Roscoe

Here are some pictures of Roscoe. I some times walk him or keep him company. He's a Pit Bull. Totally changed my mind about this breed. Roscoe is the sweetest dog however he LOVES to play and I sometimes...well always come home with some new scratch on my body.

Jams

Here is what is on repeat on my ipod:

Flight Attendant

Fitness

We begin a new year and many make the resolution of getting fit or losing weight. As this isn't a resolution of mine as I do go to the gym regularly I'm going to make it a goal to keep up my fitness or improve upon it.

In addition to my weight training I have realized I need to do more of a cardio regimen. I have been slacking but I have picked up. I've started to dance more not just at the 24 hour classes but also at the edge performing arts center in Hollywood. (Thanks to Dean for the gift certificate on my birthday. I'm hooked now!) On an average week I dance 5 times week sometimes doing back to back classes where I'm dancing three to four hours.

I'm also going back to my cardio routine. Depending if I do weights that day I will do anywhere from thirty to forty-five minutes of it. The latter consists of:

• 10 minutes on a stationary bike
• 15 minutes on the ellipticial
• 5 minutes on the rowing maching
• 5 minutes on the stair machine
• 10 minutes running on the treadmill

The times will vary if I am doing a shorter workout.

I hope to also incorporate some other activities like tennis, hiking, and back into running. I didn't run any marathons this year. I did a couple short races but who knows what this year holds.

Sounds like a lot but it's the sacrifice I have to make to keep fit.

2010

Good Riddance 2009. Welcome 2010!

Happy New Year.

Remembering Gloria

Today was Gloria Gadioma's funeral. For those of you who don't know Gloria she was one of my volunteers at the American Stroke Association. This year she succumbed to cancer. She will be extremely missed.

My memories of her have been always positive as she was. Although I knew she was fighting cancer she showed up on Saturdays giving her time to the organization. Always there with a big smile and encouraging others. She was an inspiration to many. Sometimes she would set a goal of what she was going to do that day and most of the time she would exceed it.

Another fond memory of Gloria was when I saw her she would complement me. Gloria would always ask if I had been losing weight. She would go on to say that I looked good. Who doesn't love to be complemented on the way you look, right?

Gloria Gadioma - I will miss you. You've have touched me and many others while you were with us. Your memory will live on. Rest in Peace Gloria!

Gym

I must be in a bad mood because I was really irked today by a couple things at the gym. Well irked and grossed out.

One there was dude wearing really small tight shorts. Really? Do you want the whole gym to see your package. Gross!

Two I'm working out in front of the mirror then some dude goes right in front of me and starts doing his stretches. Hello?!? You saw me here. Rude!

Three his girlfriend, wife or whatever the hell she is comes. You guys start making out in front of me. Tongue and everything! Yuck! This is a gym. Go home and do your thang not here.

Blah!

Weekend

Here are a couple things I posted on my Facebook in case you missed it:

Got to love Filipino Moms. My mom says in a deep Filipino accent - I like that song. The one - Bad Romance. What's her name - Lady Caca.

Just tore my place apart looking for my keys. It was in my pocket. Dumbass.

Wishing everyone a Very Mery Christmas unless you're my parents. Based on the card they gave me - Happy Hannukah!

Dean

Happy Birthday Dean!!!

Hannukah?

Yesterday I spent Christmas Eve with family on my dad's side. It was fun and always an abundance of food.

Anyhow we get to the gift exchanging part and my father hands me a card. I always appreciate cards especially ones with cash inside. As I open the card I'm a little bewildered. Check this out:

My parents got me a Hannukah Card. I love how the monkey is holding a menorah. Obviously not paying attention when buying cards. It was a good laugh.

Merry Christmas everyone or according to my parents - Happy Hannukah!

So So Def Remix

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas

Wishing all of you a Very Merry Christmas!

Auntie

A message left to me by my friend & old roommate Stacey on facebook:

Malia and I were looking at pictures on sunday and there was a picture of you holding her at the La Brea Tar Pits. I asked her - Who's that? She said, "Auntie!" I was dying!

In Memory of Gloria Gadioma

The E-mail I received from her husband, Jim:

My wife Gloria Gadioma completed her final marathon, crossing the finish line of Life at around 8:30 a.m. PST this morning, December 21. She finished at 55 years, 7 months and 19 days. We thank all those who cheered her on, especially during the last few weeks through their thoughts, prayers, visits, text messages, phone calls and emails. We are sure she is glad to have known you all as she can now cheer us on from her own Victory Banquet with the Heavenly Hosts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She was one of the most sweet, kind, caring, dedicated individuals with whom I had the pleasure to work with while I was with the American Heart Association and Train to End Stroke. Your spirit lives on. Rest in Peace Gloria.

Mazar

For those of you who watched Dancing with the Stars Debi Mazar was a contestant on the current season. Did you know that she was a B-Girl? Spot her in Graffiti Rock opening credits.

Design

Check out my old college friend Andrew's website.

http://abdesignstudio.wordpress.com/

He does everything - Invitations, Photography, Interior Design. There's even pictures of my apartment in there.

I highly recommend him.

Charity?

On the Thursday before Thanksgiving I had gone to a hip hop class in West Hollywood. Afterwards Henry had invited me over for dinner and I agreed to go. On the way I had stopped at 7-11 to grab a drink. As I left my car a man approaches me. He says I'm not asking for money. I was just wondering if you could buy food for myself and my wife. In the spirit of Thanksgiving I would be grateful.

I agreed. So he was grabbing food. More than I thought but I figured even though I'm unemployed I am able to survive and I would help someone who is need. As I am ready to pay I hear a cell phone ring in his pocket.

Of course in my head - How can you afford a cell phone and not food?

I didn't say anything and went ahead and paid for everything. As I was walking out I was second thinking my actions. Did I actually help someone or was I duped?

Family Guy

I have an extreme love for Family Guy. I only own all the DVD sets. I just bought Volume 7 last week. Anyhow Seth McFarlane had a special weeks ago with Alex Bornstein. Watch the video of my favorite part of the show. It was frikkin Hilarious!!!

Dance!!!

I love this video. Watch the end where the little kid tears up the choreography!

Brother

Happy Birthday to My Younger Brother Jeffrey

Rain

It's currently raining here in LA and for some reason when it rains I always think of this song.
