a piece of bread.

Yeah.
We left the puppet house early, Tayler stood behind to finish up some final shootings of the show.
Took the L(CTA nickname) blue line with Blue back to the Loop.
Yeah.
Helped her to carry the bass guitar.
Walking in the Wicker Park neighborhood.

The train cabin was abnormally noisy today.
Got off the train on Jackson street.
Walked her home.
Went up stairs to "the Womb" for a bit.
Tried a piece of Theresa's homemade bread that took her 7hours to make.
Talked about the photo shoot I'm planning on doing.
Exchanged a few ideas.
I kept on eating the bread, and yes it was yummy even without the butter.(Which I failed to locate)

It was late and I had to go.
So there I went.
But before heading to the Buckingham, a 7-Eleven was necessary.
A big Gulp filled with Dr. Pepper. Along with the piece of bread in my hand that I'm still enjoying.
$1.79 the total it was.

On the way back.
Accidentally dropped my bread on the sidewalk.
Oh well, five sec rule. I don;t even care. Just blow the dust off.
Dropped the piece of bread once again in front of the Buckingham, like I said, I didn't care at all.
So just like that, I picked it up and kept on enjoying it as I was waiting for the elevator.

Got back to my lovely unit on the 20th floor.
First thing comes first: gotta go dump.
Sure it was good getting rid of all that crap afterwards.
(I made sure I didn't bring that piece of homemade bread with me into the bathroom, and I remembered to wash my hands afterwards too)
Then I got back to the business of enjoying that piece of bread along with Dr. Pepper.
What a great piece of bread.

you

you're walking on the street.

the wind breezes.

you kept on walking, walking pass couples holding hands.

they hold on tightly, with a smile and a kiss

you kept on walking still.

trying to forget you're walking alone.

you think about the great friends you got

just trying to forget you're alone still

you're alone standing there, felt like you're always the one missing out

they're not touching your heart

you think, "it's all hormones fault", but you still can't do anything

then the word "love" starts questioning

you look back into your memory

all the great friends you got, but never loved one.

you start wondering if this is fate, a hollowed soul alone

debating should you ask his almighty, but second thought that this ain't worth his time

you go to bed, thinking tomorrow's gonna be a day with new hopes

but eventually, realizing you're still alone walking on the street,

you're  watching the couples still, and feeling the breeze

wishing a day, you might be the one

staying productive

one way of staying positive in life, is doing the things you love.(YEAH, DUH)


Yes I do like to take photos, but taking photos for homework is something else.


Once reason why I was able keep myself sane while in the dead boring California, was I kept going to places, taking photos and scanning film.


I'm missing that part a lot these days.


Yes I'm taking a lot photos for photo class assignments, but now I'm not able to really work on the photos cause I don;t have a film scanner at hand, and color darkroom printing is a BITCH.


Hmm, hopefully I get to scan my film next semester with the digital photo class.


Now I just need somebody that has time on the weekends that would love to go explore with me and take me around the suburbs of Illinois.


Then life would be great.(Life is great enough, but I'm just saying it can be better)

maybe I should do a update here

yeah since I've been here for almost a month.

Okay where should I start?

Life is certainly good these days.
My roommates have been pretty much the greatest that they can be.(I'm somehow pretty lucky, throughout out my college life so far, I never had a bad roommate)

Yeah so school and classes.
4 classes, 12 credits(I wish I can get more)
Each of them meet like once per week, but it's like 4 hours every period.
The good thing about it, is that I get to have a pretty chill schedule. My weekend starts at Thursday 1230pm, how great is that?

Oh yes, one thing that sucks: my Photo class is on Monday afternoon. But film developing/school photo labs are not available on weekends..... so that means I have to finish all my projects on thursday afternoon,  and get the film developed/ photo printed in the darkroom on Friday to be able to turn in the homework on Monday. Weekend free time is pretty much useless for that class. ugh EF!@#$%^&*(

Anyways, yes, I finally got the iPhone4. People always assume I always had the iPhone since I'm such a big Apple fanboy(to be honest, I don't think I'm qualified to be called a fanboy). My old Nokia 6500Classic finally bailed on my after 3 years of loyal service. RIP.

I was lucky enough to find a group of friends here in school right away. Reminds me of the old dead tree's. But this time everyone in the group are old friends already, I'm the newcomer. So yeah, still trying to fit in and know everyone. Especially the girls, they are the hardest to understand....

Oh yes, still working on the postcards. I'm pretty much running out new ways to say hi on the postcards these days.(To be exact, it's been like this 6 months already.) But I'll do my best to send out those postcards to you all asap.


And thanks for the help from Paul and Kelly, I was able to receive the info and get the freelance photographer position at the school newspaper, the Columbia Chronicle. Once a news paper photographer, always a newspaper photographer(?)  Haha.

Yes my hair is still growing, although it's increasingly getting in the way of normal day activities, but I have no plans of cutting it yet.

Thats all I could say for now. Heck it's only a month into the school year, wait till the winter comes and We'll see how would I bitch about it. LOL

Oh well, bed time anybody?

Chicago

It's been almost a week since I got here.
Things have been pretty good.

Really loving this place.

Weather has been getting better.

The City is amazingly beautiful.

Too much to talk about with too less time.

I'll fill you guys in later on.

Bed time for now.

Still chilling? heck yes

It's a sunday morning.
I woke up early(I have no clue how I did it).
Start watching my baseball, fell asleep in the process, until Robison Cano hit a grand slam.

And then came rain delay, oh well, it's already an official game. Okay I'm over baseball for the day.

Next.
Reading Collette Bodtcher's blog of how wonderful her marriage is. (LOL only cause she's in the honeymoon stage)(But I'm not saying it's going to get bad)(Of course I want her to be happily ever after with a good life)

Hmm going through some other friends blogs/tumblrs too, like erika and alyssa and etc.

Reading? hmm, yeah I should get on top of that. Still got 1/3 to go through before finishing The Yankee Years. Hmm. And the new book from Jon Krakauer: Where Men Win Glory.


Plans:

I leave thursday for Chicago.
Fact: I have not yet started packing yet at all.
Yeah.... I MIGHT start doing it tomorrow.
