Filipino Americans: Discovering Their Past For The Future

I recorded this from PBS a while back. Somewhere in 1998... Part of the beginning of the program is missing, but close enough.

Ai WeiWei

This is Ai WeiWei with his head injury from prison. He says, he cannot do long reading like he used to. But he will use his new disability as an advantage for his art work.

I don't know much about his issues with politics. But his now out from prison. I think that was 3 month ago when he got out. A co-worker who is chinese, and have passion in chinese history told me that Ai WeiWei is out from prison, after asking him if he knows about Ai WeiWei. He was in prison due to Tax Evasion.

I am more intrigue about his art works and as himself as a character. His works are huge man. And such a charismatic guy for his age.. more like that fat chinese buddha. Like a shoaling monk with beard in Bruce Lee's movie, Enter the Dragon.

I notice there are few or several… maybe more famous Chinese people that are being put to prison in China. Even Bloggers. Next thing you know, Jackie Chan is in prison.

The Artist Himself.

I heard of him from Bravo's television program titled Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.
One of the contestant artist named Young, used his story for one of the challenges and won. His piece was titled "Where is Ai WeiWei?"


Here is Ai WeiWei when he just got out from a hospital, back to the comfort zone of his home, and to his art studio… just like that.

Racism in Libya against Blacks?

Whaaaaaaaaat!?!?

Well thats what CNN says… This news is about 5 months ago. And again, it's just one of them stories I just had to write down.



Weren't the Libyan Rebels fought for democracy? I don't think ethnic cleansing is democratic at all man. Mind as well drop some bombs in all entire continent of Africa to wiped out all Africans. And that would include Libya as well. I can understand why their doing it. Now that Gaddafi is gone, the Libyan Rebels are hunting down black skinned who they suspected to be payed mercenaries for Gaddafi. To me that's just ridiculous. I hope the Libyan Rebels knows that the whole world was rooting for them. But this thing their doing is just not cool man. There are lots of black libyans. And sadly they are also killing them native black libyans.



I'm sure there were some other nationalities within Africa that were mercenaries. But those dude got payed. They could be anyone, including real arab featured mercenaries. Another infos that I found in the internet, are Gaddafi Mercenaries outside of Africa. Like this lady here. Now, she doesn't look black at all… she's not even arab! She looks hella mean though.. I mean, just look at her eyes.


Mercenaries fighting for Col Gaddafi's regime are reportedly being paid up to $1,000 a day.

Female Colombian snipers 'fighting to defend Col Gaddafi in Libya'
Female Colombian snipers suspected of belonging to the Marxist guerilla group FARC are fighting as mercenaries defending Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, according to rebel forces.

FULL ARTICLE

Now some readers may questioned, "Ey man.. why do you even care about it.. you're like a bum. eh eh eh…" And my answer would be… "Actually, I don't… this was five months ago." But it's something I wanted to write about and look at as a sample. A perfect example. I notice things are being played over and over again. An earthquake with a 100 magnitude would happened in the year 3012 and they would always compare it to the earthquake back in 2025. And then the medias and scientists would make several television programed promoted by Dove infomercial saying "This would take us back to the year 2025! When the Golden Bridge of San Francisco finally been devoured by the Tsunami coming from Japan, as predicted from 1918!" But they never really cared about preventing it. Not 110% or more. They did sold lots of Dove shampoo products due to lice plague started in the year 2999. Lets just say, at least I wrote something about it man.

Another new years… 2012. So much stuff been said about this number.

Anyways, I got a bunch of blogs I still need to fill in from last year. Therefore I am going backwards in time and post them here. Which is the part I love most about this blogging account. From Blogger.

I downloaded this app about a month ago. Maybe two months ago. Someone posted a video in Facebook about it. I liked what I saw and several week later, I downloaded it. I play to it whenever I'm trying to kill some times. Here is a sample of what I did few days ago with the beat. And recently just did the distorted piano solo sounds this morning.

So far I like this app. It works well for making loops, ideas, and it's really portable. Plus they sound cool enough to be recorded as a master track. Just few thumb issues. I got fat fingers. Man I sound like a salesman… They should pay me for this dammit. Hopefully, I'll be able to make another one in real time. But here is what I got.

Kim Jong-il - Dead

Kim Jong-il aka The Successor (born Yuri Irsenovich Kim; February 16, 1941. Died on December 17, 2011 of the age of 69)
The North Korean government announced his death on December 19, 2011.

Oh man we have the same birthdate of the month and day. February 16…

The whole world knows that Kim Jong-il has been starving his own people in order to pursue his game plans with Nuclear Weapons. But I'm a little confused here. Kim Jong-il seems more famous than any super stars that includes Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, as far of mourning goes. The crying doesn't surprised me much, Koreans happens to be very emotional people. Just check out Korean movies.. lots of powerful emotional outbursts. Even this one Youtuber who called himself a Korean Ninja is also an emotional person. He would be talking about a ninja star and gets emotional at the same time, crying over the day he first made his own ninja star. And his an American.

Anyways, I found out that I wasn't the only one thinking if it was a fake cry or a survival cry. In this site, The Hollywood Gossip says, these people watch some sad movies including "The Notebook", before attending to the funeral or any farewell ceremonies for Kim Jong-il, and put on a good show. Hollywood man.. thats what they say.




A glimpse of military hell march from North Korea.

Audrey's Magic Feet

I was baby sitting audrey after taking her away from her crib while mother was making her some milk. I didn't like the tune of her cry so I got up from my bed, took her to my keyboards and let her play to keep her quite. Her hands was too strong pounding on my keys, so I pulled her away from my synthesizers. And then she starts kicking at the keys to make a tune.. I made a video to show her folks. I played around with iMovie a bit to shorten it up.. And it turned out pretty cool.

Excuse the trashcan from the background.. I should of emptied it.

Large Fries

Few weeks ago, I went out for a spin around the hood to test out this new mount I got online for my playsport zx3.. and to get me some large fries...

Syrian Uprising 2011

This protest started form January of this year. I probably heard about it, but uprising are everywhere now in the middle-east and anywhere else around the world. And then, I recently find out how fucking brutal it is, excuse my french. Now, I don't know these people, and I could careless because I have my own issues to deal with too. Their own military forces randomly started shooting peaceful protesters and innocent un-armed civilians. No rubber bullets, no tear gasses, no water hoseses, but real bullets.. in the year 2011. Damn man… I really had to blog it for my own record. I don't even know Syria. I did have co-workers and classmates from graduate school that were from Syria. I was invited to a Syrian night club once. They love wearing tight muscle shirts and leather jackets, they also likes leather shoes like some Russians do. Anyways, one time, I asked where Syria was, and this Syrian classmate back from 1995 says it's right above Jerusalem, and they are like Jews. Syria is also mentioned in the Holy Bible. Over the years, after knowing about geography, Syria is in the middle-east.



From the way I see it, they used and still using hollowed point bullets for their assault rifles, and Israeli desert eagle semi-auto pistols. Ammunitions and handguns that can make devastating effects to the victim's bodies and to psychologically ruins the people around the victims. But of-course these soldiers are trained to take it just because they are soldiers. And soldiers must not think like civilians. Same with civilians, some have the heart for graphic scenes and some are just stupid like chicken brains that's feels little pain. These soldiers probably brag at each other how brutal they are with cheerful reminisces of hand claps from their sergeants and commanders, and how these sergeants and commanders proud they were to their soldiers eating live chickens and rabbits, like pit-bulls on training. These soldiers probably think of it as a celebrity status.. maybe not even educated in general. Just educated well on their training as soldiers for Bashar al-Assad as ruthless security forces to keep him in control. I'm sure these ruthless soldiers gets payed well for their duties, they'll kill anyone who gets in their way including their own cousins.

Syrian protester, with a devastating wound to his jaw.


A dead little Syrian girl with bullet wound through her eye.


Syrian soldiers posing and cheering with dead activists on top of a mosque and using their iPhones to capture the moments.





Dead civilians that reminds me of Nanjing Massacre of 1937. The beginning of the Holocaust of 1944.. and so on.. It's 2011! and these soldiers are using iPhones.


Bashar al-Assad Security Forces performing of eating live chickens and rabbits. Preparing them to think like Serial Killers.


Syrian soldiers that did turned away from shooting the protesters and unarmed civilians, were punished. Even killed from the Iranians.. Iranians?

Imagine the police that are supposed to protect you from serial killers, rapists, burglars, and etc.. are just as worse. And the soldiers that are supposed to protect you from invaders, are the raiders.. just because you want democracy. This is not an imagination.. it's happening in Syria…

My New DigiCam - Kodak Playsport ZX3

I got this from amazon the other day. Used but fair price. Some dent here and there. Built rugged. But so far so good... I like how clear it is. It almost captures the same feel as if you were back at the place where you took it. The downer part: it gets really pixilated in the low lights, looking like a regular mobile phone. And audio capture isn't strong enough (film are stronger for audio). Other than that, worth keeping, and worth buying a brand new one. Having three of these is cool if your doing some active projects (like sports and music blogs) and study your progress.



What's next on camcorders in my lifetime man. From 8mm film cameras, to VHS camcorders, to pinhole size digital surveillances slash camcorders. Next thing you know, they'll make camcorders to the extreme, digital atom camcorders built as contact lenses. Up to 100 TB memories. Not HD but 3D Blu-ray Quality. Transporting the captured videos to your main computer or digital storage would run trough bluetooth using speech codes recognition. Nothing has to pull out, insert, upload, and download. All in the air from your contact lenses. And hacked proof. In the future, they'll probably take privacy to the extreme. Prison time and everything, even death penalties in some other countries. What if that contact lenses also comes with additional apps - for instance, it can glow, used as infrared, see computer datas, and works for the blind perhaps? lol...

So thats that, Im still waiting for the fish eye lens for it. Along with a dock where I can place it in my windshield or on a bike and etc…
