employing grading help

chess w/ my father

vegas warmup

Christmas night

under my tree

free drink for anyone who can guess what's in
the white/silver wrapping w/ the green ribbon..

my cousin, the barber

shoes

6 months, a half-marathon, and miles & miles later

g-pain

first thing my brother says when i get home
"did you bring home your mac? you can sing like t-pain w/ garage band!"

i'll be home for Christmas

secret santa

the best of all mess is the one on christmas morning.
don't be quick to clean up!

not a 8:10-3:05 job

5pm chats w/ the janitor.
damn, made those desks squeaky.
(i know, the back needs touching up - says 'fuck' -> you)

lazing about

i blame the weather and the short days

plotting to recapture

myself, my enthusiasm, my passion, my drive..
fucking everything.

great time out

been far too long since i last felt that nba atmosphere

more snow!

wish i could've gotten better photos...
i was glued to this window
a kid witnessing falling snow for the first time.

snow!

didn't want to risk breaking the cam since i'm still a n00b at snowboarding,
so i caught this instead.
but i'll gladly say that i've got a handle on it now!
all on the coldest day i've ever experienced.

Fridays = Quiz Days

christmas tree

lil tree, big spirit. smells like christmas too.

department meetings

skyline for exactly one year now.
would've never thought i'd speak up THAT much during a meeting.

and i thought OURS looked good.

one thing i love about this 'one pic a day' thing
you give yourself reason to photograph.
so today, after driving/biking all over berkeley
to gather tree, ornaments only to get the pursuit
shut down by ace hardware (6pm, really!?)
i begrudgingly biked and found this in my path.
arriving home, i immediately grabbed my camera
and walked back down the street.

the spirit hits 2422

christmastime!

10pm

sunday drives to catch mass
2 weeks in a row.

i'll miss you

r.i.p. mama nising.

Coco

arriving home friday morning, i was greeted by this lil one.
ate treats her like a baby.
which begs the question, ate, kuya arch... howbout it?

skyline in the night time

darkness rises so early nowadays!

1.83?

one HUGE difference b/w summer & now.

full tank back then: 65+
full tank now: <26

the teacher's desk

taken afterschool.
and after, drinks/soulfood @ scend's in oakland where
members of the otf cohort inject much needed motivation in me.

mon-dayne

i start this again to contrast peaks of two seasons,
to document both sides of the coin.
(i enjoyed it back then; i know i will now)
because i trust these young-to-mid 20's will ultimately pave the way
to something refreshing.
and i wanna look back at days when all of it
felt so suddenly uncertain.
