the best things in life are free!

last night i saw the black eyed peas and blackalicious for free at monster Park (aka candlestick park) with olivia, alan, eric, marjorie, rowena, eric, dale, lisa, and shirley. since it was free, we all assumed that the black eyed peas were going to have a weak set and only play only a few songs. to our suprise, they performed closer to 15 or so songs, including freestyle, breakdancing, and musician solos. apl even performed "bebot", a tagalog rap that i never in my wildest dreams thought i would hear live. when he started to sing "filipino! filipino! filipino!" people were pumping their hands in the air -- it was awesome! i'm in total "must download their album" mode. thank goodness for my subscription to yahoo music, which has more than once satiated my need to listen to random songs and download them to my mp3 player.

i must say, much props to honda for hosting a bunch of free concerts around the country to promote the new 2006 civic.

on another note, why the heck did my last post get deleted? the basic gist was that i took a bunch of group shots with my co-workers for pictures for my company's career website...if the sight of me as a potential co-worker is not enough to recruit people, i don't know what is! haha. just kidding...really :)

also, last friday, i went to the social club in sf. that was cool too. its always nice to see people i haven't seen in years! afterwards we went to lucky chances and got our -ilog grub on! i have to say that the chickensilog is quite tasty.

song of the moment: "bebot" by black eyed peas

life of a blagger....

so much has happened in this past month and a half...

i moved back to the bay, painted my room, and started my new job in san francisco. even though i haven't done anything too exciting, it's such a relief to be back home.

quick highlights of things i've done since my last post:

-returned to chicago for a weekend trip with my friends...it was strange being in the city as a tourist vs as a resident for a change
-ran the 12K bridge to bridge run. i would hardly call myself a runner, but it's cool knowing that i have 7.5mi under my belt (and i ran the whole way).
-watched an a's games. go oakland! too bad they were already out of contention for the playoffs
-play softball regularly on a friend's work team. we haven't really been winning, but that feeling of hitting the ball is unbelieveable.

looking forward to the following in the near future:
-girls night out w/ the homegirls
-mos def and talib kweli in SF!

songs of the moment:
"heard them say" by kanye west, featuring adam levine from maroon 5
"god only knows" remade by joss stone
"unbreakable" by alicia keys
