guest choreographer BK stopped by bMod's practice last night to teach a workshop. to my delight, he taught his segment from my ultimate favorite set ever, Common Ground's Vegas set. sick piece. had myself a dancegasm. watch their set HERE. and watch it in high quality. if your Internet connection doesn't allow for it... why are on you even on the Internet? weirdo.


alex brittany and myself. jowena got pwn3d by tinkerbell.
finally buckled down and got myself a Disneyland Annual Pass! It's a deluxe so i have blockout dates throughout some of the year.. boo :( but still awesome at the same time. most of the blockout dates are major holidays and most saturdays.. when i probably would just complain about the huge crowds that are there. went with alex brittany and jowena this past Tuesday. even though it was a lot hotter than i'd want it to be, still had a blast in the 3 hours i was there (had to leave early for bMod practice). managed to ride the Matterhorn, then to CA Adventure to ride Mickey's Fun Wheel on the swinging gondola's *finally!* last time i went (which was only about once or twice in the last 10 years), the group i was with was too scared to ride it. toy story mania was closed, sadly. convinced jowena to ride a roller coaster with a loop for the first time ever in her life with CA Screamin. she did it! got herself a well-deserved ice cream afterwards, watched the pixar parade, then jowena and i headed to practice. alex and britt stayed a bit before heading out to visit.

bMod pool party later on today???

new team better work!

it seems that i forgot to blog about father's day. it went surprisingly well. after not seeing my dad in what seems like forever, i met up at my sister's place in chino hills. we headed out to best buy to look at netbooks and got him an hp mini 1030. then went to target to find him a card. fail on that. the card section was literally tore up. the only ones left were the not-so-funny-but-trying-to-be-funny ones, butt ugly ones, and ones in spanish. so we figured writing a small note on the wrapping paper for the mini would be good enough. and well enough, he loved the present.

headed out to RA Sushi at the chino hills shoppes. the happy hour there is awesome. half off appetizers and $5 large beer + sake. we only spent about $50 for all the food we got, and we were pretty incredibly full. all buzzed, we headed back to my sister's where we decided to walk a trail that leads up to a tall hill in chino hills overseeing chino hills, diamond bar, and pomona. it was quite nice (and) cold up there. headed back, played with our laptops, and finally headed our separate ways. day well spent.

anyways, why does it seem like the annual passholders for disneyland have died down with the disneyland visiting? i'm not gonna want to get a pass if the annual pass craze dies after a month like it seems..

another great artist, michael jackson, is gone. i'm not gonna go into how much of a great artist he was, or how much he's inspired and influenced pretty much the world, because everyone already knows all that. instead, there's not much else we can do but make sure the life he lived still lives on in us.

rip dude.

so with the hit summer blockbuster Transformers 2 that just came out still in hype.. i'll continue my NERD fest. and i'm not embarrassed to do so. after the first film came out, my sister went out on a limb and bought a very expensive Bumblebee figure, one that actually transforms, lights up, talks, plays music, and moves animatronically. it's actually a pretty cool collectors item and stands in robot form over a foot tall.

check out the figure in car form. it's surprisingly detailed:


the car in mid-transformation. bumblebee lookin ROUGH LIFE:


and fully transformed.:
