Back to School

Well this week was the first week back to school as a Junior, so that means only two more years. The week was good went by pretty fast actually and it is nice to see everyone again. All my classes are pretty cool and I think the best teacher of the year debating on my photography & Ceramics class for me. Other than that nothing else it was a great week and hoping there isn't that much work next week hopefully, but who knows. No photo's for this post, but don't worry might have photo's by the weekend or during the next few weeks since I have to do some homework for my photography class.

School

Well, School is starting tomorrow. How fun is that going to be ! But yeah anyways, Didn't really do anything today besides clean my room and get ready for school. Yesterday on the other hand ! Went to San Francisco to go shop for some stuff, it was pretty cool since it was like the first time I been to San Francisco in like a year or so ( Yeah, I know a pretty long time ). Just ate some Itialian food then went to the mall, Powell, then Haight for a little while. Now all my money is gone, which sucks. Went to Vallejo for a bit to visit my cousins, planned some stuff with them for the winter. Now I am just waiting to go to school tomorrow, which I don't want to. Also picked up a new backpack since yeah, long story. YakPack>TheNorthFace

Thursday

School is almost here!!!

But other than that, just went to Charles' house today before he leaves for a week to LA & Mexico, Have fun man. Tried to help him out with his Nikon, but couldn't really do it cause I have a Canon. My relatives from S. San Francisco came over and it was pretty fun taking pictures of my little cousins at the park. Other than that nothing else to do, it is Friday tomorrow and I hope I do something good this weekend.

Photography

Today cleaned upstairs a little bit. Edited some photo's to make them feel a little "vintage" cause I got pretty bored. Also I was reading a few things off this site about photography and I have to say I agree on these things because they are true. I will post some quotes from the site.

• Don't presume the most expensive gear is the best. Having too much camera equipment is the best way to get the worst photos.
• Buying newer cameras will ensure you get the same results you always have. Education is the way to better images, not more cameras.
• Photographers make photos, not cameras.
• You probably already have all the equipment you need, if you'd just learn to make the best of it. Better gear will not make you any better photos, since the gear can't make you a better photographer.
• Just about any camera, regardless of how good or bad it is, can be used to create outstanding photographs for magazine covers, winning photo contests and hanging in art galleries. The quality of a lens or camera has almost nothing do with the quality of images it can be used to produce.
• Buying new gear will NOT improve your photography.
• Your equipment DOES NOT affect the quality of your image. The less time and effort you spend worrying about your equipment the more time and effort you can spend creating great images. The right equipment just makes it easier, faster or more convenient for you to get the results you need.

Yesterday

Yesterday went to Davis for my mom's haircut and looked at a few bike shops. After that went to Chevy's to eat then went to Hercules to see my auntie & uncle from the Philippines. It was a long day and that's about it. Too bad I couldn't catch the sunset, oh well.

Hopefully I do something tomorrow !

Breezy

The weather today was pretty nice, not as hot as the other days. Other than that didn't really do much besides clean the house. Waited for my package to come in today from HUF and it did so I am pretty happy for the week. Nothing else to put besides it is the middle of the week so it's almost to the point where we have 1 week left until school starts, how fun ! Still need to buy my school stuff, blah.

Monday

Well I think I'll just get straight to the point. Today Charles came over to play some rock band and chill. We played a few songs on rock band then decided to cook some fries. We browsed to web while the food was cooking then after we ate we decided to work on my bike. This was uncalled for because at first we didn't know what to do, so we decided to make it a single speed for now until I sneak some money in for a new rear wheel & a chain. But while we were working on the bike there was some hella funny shit that we did, good times. After about 3 hours working on the chain only we finally got it to work so it's all good ! I think we accomplished a lot of things today I made my bike a single speed & Charles landed a pop shuv-it off the curb. So in all, today was a great day now it's time to fix Charles' bike tomorrow hopefully that goes well.

By the way ! Got something better than photo's today, I gots videos !
+ Please excuse me, I look like a damn retard, aha. :|

2 Weeks

Sucks, only 2 more weeks of summer left. Haven't really done anything this summer and I don't think I am going to do anything for these 2 weeks so sucks for me. Anyways today went to church then Vallejo cleaned my room a bit and went back to Vallejo to sleep over. I am really bored right now, want to fix up my bike but I barely have any cash and there are other things on my mind that i want to buy. When I was at my house I made this little flash thingy for my camera because I don't have a speedlite so yeah. I think it worked pretty well considering it didn't make it look all dark and what not. Hoping to go to the bike shop tomorrow and see what they have. &HUF is taking hella long with my damn order. HUF online sucks !

By the way, this photo is nothing special just a test !

Lame

Well today is basically done because I didn't do anything. There has been some problems with my grandpa that has something to do with his bladder or something like that. So I can't really do anything or go anywhere cause my dad goes to Vallejo and checks up on him, but I don't blame him I am just very bored! I saw my package or should I say bag? from urban outfitters in the mail or should I say mailbox. When I went to check the mail my package was inside the mailbox it was kind of funny. Bought those cheapo Chengs Plimsol and let me tell you don't buy them! They suck, authentics are way better! + they smell like tires. Didn't get to go to the bike shop today cause of that stuff, but thanks Charles for telling me some prices. Hopefully the last 2 weeks of summer are good, I just hope.

I want to Bike

First off, no pictures today because I was lazy. Second, I am almost done with that damn bike. Took almost a week for me to finish sanding because I was lazy and only sanded for like an hour some days. Now I just need to go to the bike shop and buy a chain, chain tool, and a crank tool and maybe sneak in a new chainring if I have enough money. Even though I still need to save up for some new wheels & a paint job. My dad told me instead of painting to bike with spray paint he told me he is looking for a place to get it painted that is not that expensive, so it sounds good to me. Just have to come up with that money. So this bike to me it just for practice and messing around and also learning how to ride one of these and in the future I will eventually save up enough money to buy a new frame. So yeah I want to bike already cause I am getting fat !
