Music with friends

Hello everyone who is taking their time to read this senseless post. I appreciate your time and your patients so im going to cut it straight to the point!

          What do friends do when they chill with a guitar on their friend's dorm? No, not smash it and crash it, in case of these two lovely ladies, they JAM!

         Yup, this is the tip of the iceberg of upcoming Lene & Cami videos. I hope you enjoy and please, if you have time, comment it as constructive critics helps to build the artists ;)

             Anyways, as a college student, I know how stressful the world can be. Fortunately, I found Sparring and Grappling as a source to relief stress, but I also found that filming and editing videos relieved my college stress.

            I soon found out that two of my friends where playing song at each others dorms and decided to gather together to jam together. I thought, "why not make a video? This might be fun." and there you go buddies.Check out my website for more random videos! :)

Sparring

One thing I've always wanted to do since Costa Rica and started to do ever since I got to New York is "sparring".

To save up the time to explain what is it, here is a small article on Wikipedia about the subject...

Prince, Nando, Jose & Jed

Anyways, most of the time i had after school I spent it back at home. A video-game paradise, but ever since I met Jed, (the man kneeling at the right of the picture) I have kept myself busy shaping my mind and body through this sport. We started off as a duet spar and since then we have brought in more friends to spar with us.

It is fun, but also painful. Oblivious to the obvious, we do get bruises and cuts. Of course we are not completley unexperienced at sparring. All of us have had previous training on a martial art. I know a little Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing and Wing Chun, wheras Jed knows Jujitsu.

Here is a video I would like to show you all for those who still don't know what it is, to get the idea.

We avoid head contact and any other vital areas out the vest. The sparring experience may be trimmed a little out of reality, but hey, we are college students and need our sanity for the coming midterms. Nevertheless, the experience is quite amusing.

I came here to NY in hopes with God to find what I like to do. Indeed I have found my sport. :)

OH! and by the way! Happy Thanksgiving! :D

Dad & Son

         Where has the Dad and Son time gone to? Surely I am limited to state only a mere opinion that those days are almost gone. With work, studies, part-time, missions, etc... I believe men has begun to lose great part of their contacts with their children. I myself have lived a life in which the majority of the time my parents were absent. But I don't blame them. I understood at my teenage time that they worked up to late night just for me and my siblings.

        Though there were few times I actually spent with my father, I can tell it was more than awesome even though in most cases there was not much to talk about.

          As I was walking my way home in Brooklyn, I saw an adult male with a young boy in his father's shoulder. I literally fell into a state of mind from which I say that what I witnessed was something beautiful, and it is something we should not forget when we become parents. NYC has taught me one more thing. Despite work and life goals, non is much more valuable than that time you spend with your children. 

The real column of our society

         So I was traveling back home by the so traditional and popular transportation system of New York known as MTA subway. Until I witness the true individuals who makes life easier for us.

Cheers for the MTA employees

         As I was standing at the platform I saw these two men walking together,one on the platform and theother along the rails. When later on they moved deeper in thetunnel, using flashlights to cooperate with fellow MTA employees. I then remembered a sign of MTA propaganda in the train. It said,

            "A city is only as good as its transportation."

         Well, many people would think that the metro is not the best transportation out there, but at least we have one. A decent one and it may not seemed well maintained as water sips through the roof cracks,molds form in the platforms etc etc, but in reality it is well(not perfectly or good) maintained. And hey, at least they have the decency to work this jobs. The rails and the system is always improving, giving the New York citizen the possibility to move one place to another. And these men are the less looked at and yet are the ones who carries the most important roles in the continuous run of the city. Of course, MTA employees is one amongst many hardworking jobs nobody wants to do that keeps our country running.

Comic-Con 2011

Saturday Comic-Con was awesome! lots of free stuff and great views!

"What is a Comic-Con?" some might me wondering as others who knows what it is might have assisted the event. Let's start off with a brief history of its origin in New York.

Comic-Con actually takes place in many cities around the world. In this case, New York City, which first event took place in 2006 at the Jacobs Javits Convention Center.
Also known as Comic Convention, the Comic-Con is a for-profit event produced and managed by Reed exhibitions. Ever since, many comic fan and anime lovers has enjoyed the multiple conventions in the latest years. Recently in 2010, the Anime Festival, organized by the same authorities merged both Festivals, bringing both cultures together.

WTF!?

Putting the history aside, the Comic-Con is an event where many people can witness movie panels (if they manage to survive the 1231 miles line) and enjoy free items such as posters shirts and preview from video-games in development.

"that awkward moment when you think you are in the middle of the line, turn around and you're the last one."

Those who can afford to go to this convention enjoys the privileges of previewing something prohibited for the general public. Putting all these elements aside, the experience is one good stuff, and no, not THAT good stuff. Anyways, good view everywhere. ;)
