POST UP!

Whats good guys,

Tonight, I lost another intramural basketball game which makes the team I'm part of 1-5 (1 win, 5 loses), which sucks, but there's always the next semester. I'm sorry for venting the loss on an educational blog, but DAMN we suck. With all that aside here goes my entry.

Last weeks ED got me thinking about my family and why they came to the states. Besides having more oppurtunity, I wondered why the Phils was struggling when my family was there. Theres plenty of resources and the Phils has the highest import need for rice!? I also thought about the corrupt government, poverty, the economy, man just thinking about the Philippines gets me more excited for the next meeting, but in a good way. I have not been to the PI yet and I can't wait to go there and visit my fathers side. I haven't met any relatives from his side and I'm looking foward to that day. I've always adimired my parents for working hard and barely taking any vacations since I've been alive. I always wondered why we barely went on vacations and now I know why.

The activity was fun, we had to artistically represent our fight as the belly of the beast. One group drew a picture, another recited some poetry and the group I was part of "moved" our representation of our fight. I loved everyones presentation, from the beautifully drawn manbearpig, to the five man Chocolate Rain Ensemble and of course the "belly of the beast" movement technique. Each holds a special place in the brain of mine.

One of my inspirations,
