1. At the gym, I actually tore a muscle and I did not get it checked out until a week later! yes I know that unsafe and very stupid, but I thought it was minor and I could beast it through. uncertainly I was wrong, and when i did get it checked out, they gave me pain medication and also STRICT directions to stay in bed! how LAME!

2. In the middle of my “rest” time the Los Angeles Lakers were coming up to play the Golden State Warriors. My tickets were : Section 101… Row 1… Seats 9 and 10! Yes, that means I was pretty much on the floor, and EXACTLY in the middle of the court! There was no way I was going to stay in bed and “rest” when I have seats like that! also LAKESHOW is my team! Even though they lost, I had a date, so that made watching them lose worth it

3. Also I JUST had LASIK eye surgery done! This is the day AFTER and I’m spouse to rest my eyes…. but no… BEAST! haha I have a post surgery check today. If the doc says I need more rest, I have pills that’ll knock me out… if not I’ll be in the beautiful city of San Francisco, at the Japan Town cherry blossom festival. If I cant make it today I’ll for sure catch it tomorrow! Gotta get back on this picture-taking shit!

Until next time!

Enjoy.

Well, School is school right? can’t say much other than recently I recently had 2 midterms, which as of what I know, I did just fine. And I’ll leave it at that… haha

Gym. This past month my buddies at O21FIT, ran PALEO diet/ gym challenge. I decided, although I am not one of their clients, to join in. I’ve done PALEO style eating before, so i figure it’d be a good way for me to get back into it. And then just go hard in the gym. I’ll continue on with this gym update later, because we are coming to the end of the challenge…

I also decided, because ive been neglecting both my camera and this blog, that I’ll start doing more self portraits and update the blog with at least 1 photo everyday(or at least every week) good idea?

Thanks for being patience with me.

Recently Japan has been part of these random and horrible disasters. A 8.9 earthquake hit Japan, with an aftermath tsunami that covered the northeast of Japan.

Prayers. Blessed.

I could remember when HUF was still new to San Francisco back in 2004(they officially opened in 2002). I remember my parents would always drive by the Sutter location, whenever we left Union Square in downtown San Francisco. The store was simple and clean. The display was what caught my eye. HUF would always display the “new” sneaker releases before they actual release date. And when I was really into the sneaker scene, HUF was my spot to break necks where ever I went. I remember when they first popped up with their own in-house brand fitteds and tees. The Fitteds were what made HUF. The simple “H” on the front, with the illest colorways that you wouldn’t see on regular NewEra fitteds. I still own a good handful of those original colorways, that go for 150+ dollars now. Also HUF had this image that people could not draw alway from. The HUF staff, created this image and lifestyle they called “HUF SET”(similar to DIPSET). They were a group of young guys, that rock streetwear brands with a certain confidence, lively, fun swag. Although HUFs new “Dirt Bag Crew” image isn’t as lively or loud as their old “HUF SET” image, I am glad to hear that the closer of the retail spots isn’t due to the recession. I’ll continue to support their brand and hope to see better and bigger things from them.

HUF Quakes, one of HUFs biggest releases… find me!

Cant be mad.

Issue 70 has Britney Spears on the cover… look for it on newstands!

Click the link to look at my past post about INVS & Mr.

I was giving the opportunity to take over the INVS store and the on- line store, but I couldn’t do it. It is a Store that MY friend built and I felt it should be something he finishes. Please continue to support the Mr. Brand, and keep an eye out for what is to come from them.

J. Crew has release a video of the Creative Director and President of the company visiting one of the oldest fabric manufacturing companies in Italy. They give us a small behind-the-scenes look into the factories of high-quality shirting manufacturers like Thomas Mason, which has been around since 1876, and the prestigious Crespi factory, established in 1797.

Quality.

Mr. Porter, the dude-friendly, ecommerce site, featuring just about every luxe designer you can think of …and then some.
Plus, aside from dope denim sneakers by Lanvin and a ridiculously awesome reversible coat from Rag & Bone, the site also features a “Wardrobe Manager” (to keep you organized) and a “Style Directory” (to keep your outfits from looking drab).
I am very excited about Mr. Porter and suggest everyone else, especially the fellas, get on this!

Thank me later ladies.

And this year it was 3-4 times as crazy!

The new venue at Fort Mason Center, was a really good idea! The views of the golden gate and the more outdoor feel was nice. Having the show inside of the hanger/ docks still kept that underground and japan town feel. Also having the show partly outside was nice, it gave people a chance to get some fresh air and enjoy the great weather, even though it was a little chilly out haha. Having part of the show outdoors gave it that parking lot pimpin type feel haha. Also for photographers it was perfect! the lighting hit just right at almost every angle both indoors and out, although I forgot my camera -___-. This is the first year I did not show at WekFest and as a spectator I still enjoyed it as if I was showing.

The show over all was good, but there were also some major flaws. The most important flaw was the line. Just like last year, and the year before that, WekSos did not fix the long wait! For me, luckily, I know a good amount of people who participate and are involved with the show. So I did have to wait or pay. unfortunately for those that haven’t shown at WekFest, or know anyone affiliated with the show, had to wait in a line that was close to 3-4 blocks long! At the end of the line, the wait was 5 hours! honestly that is just ridiculous! but that gives you an idea of how big this show is! Another flaw of the show was partly the venue. The reason why WekSos changed the venue from Japan town underground parking lot was to hold more cars. Meaning a bigger show. Although they had 2 hangers/ docks it was pretty obvious that there were not as many cars as last year -_____-.

Over all, like I said, it was a GOOD show. I look forward to next years show, and hopefully I can participate again
