"I Am The Greatest"

Birthday in TRES DIAS!!!

So if you haven't heard, then you suck.

I'll be spending my birthday at X-location, Hollywood, CA. And from taking a virtual tour via the club's website, I started to notice some similarities. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think the Usher video for "Love in this Club" was filmed at this particular club.

Hahaha... gay, random, but to me, relevant! Will I find love in this club? Or Usher and his f*ckin flat nose? I have no idea. But I'm sooooo down to get piss drunk for the first time out of my soon to be 23 years of breathing.

On that note, maybe I should add that on my birthday I want:

-1 MAN
...to take care of me for the night, and be totally, entirely chivalrous and sweet to me.

ugggggh* but I already know that won't happen. :(
come back knight in dessert camo armor! haha.
wow, that probably made sense to only 3 people.

Anyway, enjoy Usher's video, Keri's ridiculous curves, and the song of Rae's day:



<3, RAE!

"Invitation"

If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!

THE OSCARS OF GIVING

These people have taken a lot of time and effort into giving themselves up for love. Like any artist, there is a lot of sacrifice coming from each of these heroes. But I'm definitely proud that the Hero of the Year is a Filipino.
2009 has a been a big year for the Philippines, and I think it's starting to receive the kind of attention it truly deserves.
I admit I have my doubts and reservations about my own kind. The things I hear from my mother, a first generation Filipino, has educated me on many stories of theft, robbery, and lies--some stories that originate within my own family lineage. It's heart breaking to know, and embarrassing to be in any correlation to, but it is the truth of the homeland: corruption is everywhere, especially in the human heart. And it is good to know that there are some people who are trying to manipulate goodness despite the greed, negativity, and crime--someone still has inspiration.

Mr. Penaflorida,
you are a pioneering artist. the kind that needs to be spoken of in textbooks, and taught in classrooms. I am certain that your heroism is an art that provokes emotions from any audience.
and though I have never personally met you, your over generosity is very addictive behavior. Thank you for being a role model across all color lines, and thank you for not being fearful of giving yourself to good deeds.

Thankful,
RAE

Fallen

Toby Burrows has a lot of talent. And his exhibition of Fallen really captured me. I almost feel like he tapped into my craziest nightmares with this one:
not much more I could say. But it's beautiful and horrific in so many different ways.

Wild Things

Sadly, I won't be able to see this on the day of its premiere.
AND, rarely do I ever want to really make those types of functions.



But hopefully I get to see it that weekend!

Nuts They Go So Ballistic -- Whoa...

Yo, Lebron. Im really happy for you and Ima let you finish, but Kobe is one of the greatest of all time.

Sorry Ms. Come Back

KANYE WEST "PARANOID" feat: RIHANNA Dir: NABIL from kwest on Vimeo.

I was really worried for Rihanna. I thought her career would be totally over since her connection to dick face, Chris Brown. But her role in the video adds value to the song, sympathy for the poor girl, and definitely sex appeal. Doesn't she look like a super Filipino Auntie when she's driving the car? Haha, my bad. Anyway Kanye, good look on putting her in the vid.

<33,
RAE

Santogold Hype

I think I'm with it. :)

I'm STILL Terrible

I realize that I have promised to post on a consistent schedule. Unfortunately life has distracted me from doing so. But the semester is almost over. Summer is on its way, thus influencing the grand adventures of more memories to be blogged about. So again, I promise, I'll get back to you. Whoever you are Mr./Mrs. do4love reader.

But in the meantime, here's some eyecandy with some personal captions.

Bring on the heat...
the reason why I call a female's privates "a cookie"
but she's got one two many goods to offer.
looks like the single ladies convention
i wish i could've been there.
for the sole purpose of dancing my ass off like beyonce :)
if only love were that simple, eh?

Thanks for bearing with me,

RAE

Inked Up

The boyfriend and I decided we were really bored on saturday night. So I felt like drawing him a tat. Then he did the same for me. His is on his deltoid/bicep area, mine on my rib cage. There's more to them than what you see, and their locations. But I'm not sure that I'm willing to give the details and story behind each of our tattoos. I feel that it makes it more unique, and special to us. =]

Maybe I will get the tattoo one day...

Song of my Moment

Excuse me, I'm in my fantasy...

...my own, personal make-up artist...

Now Put Ya Hands Up To The Sky

"REACH FOR THE STARS...SO IF YOU FALL, AT LEAST YOU FALL ON A CLOUD..." Kanye West
I think this picture is a little bit of both: the stars in this huge, puff of red cloud. Fuck a cloud with silver lining, let's go hard and suwoo some niggas with the red. Righhhht? haha ew, that was my wanna be gangster moment for the day.
And probably the gangster moment of my life which will never reoccur ever, unless I'm trying to set myself up for shame.

But on the really doe, what we see now is how the star scene actually looked 17,000 years ago, and that light show is just now arriving here.

And then we have another great photo at hand. har har har. This is by Wilhelm Staehle


high five suckas,

Can We Finally Fly Into NASA?

I had to share this song & video with you all. It's the Kanye that I know, and miss. Rapping Kanye!! Yeaaaaah! I admired his more recent musical choices, but this track just makes me fall in love with hip hop again. It does have that trendy dance vibe to it, but who gives a shit Kanye is rapping, Ne-Yo is killing it, and Keri has a huge ass. Blah Blah Blah. Just enjoy it, okay sweet pants?

I ffffound Happiness is in Fries

But if that bird found some animal style fries, then that bird would be feeling extremely happy and lucky. I think I want that kind of joy. But this will suffice.

I fffound Some Amusement

Today was stressful.

And to ease that stress I browsed through ffffound.com

You should try it some time.

While Making Cupcakes...

I realized I'm so envious of other people who have an xbox 360 or wii.
I'd love to be playing video games right now... :[
But I did find these old photos of me hula dancing.





I miss those glorious days when I was curvy, thick in the right places, and sassy!

Above and Beyond

moss instructions I've found that Anna Garforth has is pretty funky. She's a London based artist who is inspired by guerilla gardening collectives and is the concept creator of this environment installation gone street. Fuck the bright lights, and let's get green and horny. Or maybe just green. I'm not the strumpet type.





1000cm x 52cm roll of black and white, for you to fill in with your own creativity.
That's quite tempting. And seriously, different.
Hours and hours of straight fun and staying within the lines.
Who wants to give me some birthday love?

Xtina Aguilera's new perfume campaign , "sometimes its all you need to wear," raided the streets of Isreal in a more in your face form. Basically, "all you need to wear" is her juices in a bottle. Psyche, mean joke, I'll stop. But it's about time these people connected with real characters. I only wish I had the opportunity to have a free whiff. But congrats to your Aguilera, I always liked you better than Brittney. Especially when you went crazy, you just got dirty and sexual instead of literally crazy [bald].
