I got bored

Today I got off work very early! It was super suprising that I didn’t close today…. and so when I got off work… I was at a loss to what to do!

The last couple of weeks I haven’t been eating that well, and I was definately feeling the consequences. My body felt angry at me and was giving me sucker punches to the rumbly tummy whenever it was inconvenient D: So, today I decided to make a gigantic health bowl of pasta. Too bad I got carried away, so now I have 3 giants bowls of pasta sitting in my fridge…

I take that as a challenge it finish that shit in 3 – 4 days :D

Anyways, I got bored after cooking, and after a small chill session with some random friends, I get back home early and I pick up my guitar…

bad idea?

You be the judge :D

No… wait…

terrible idea D:

jL out!

turn that frown upside down!

After a long day of working and coaching, I looked at my empty fridge and decided it was time to get myself some grub.

Going to SUPERSTORE and buying a shat load of food (GOOD DEALS! :D)

Anyways, as I was going towards the cashiers, I started to think about how damn hard life is at the moment. I’ve been working every day for the past 6 months. No time-off during christmas, and with this late olympic rush, I could feel myself start crashing.

However, as I was rolling up with my food, there was a baby chillin in a cart waiting with her dad. This baby was the cutest thing EVER! She totally turned me from being blue, to feeling pretty damn happy.

I love babies!

Wierd thing though, this cute baby came from uncute parents. I dunno how that happens, but it seems to happen a lot. I see some wierd looking couples (being polite i just call them fugly), but they are rolling in with the MOST ADORABLE babies. I thought genetics say that cuteness should run in the family. Or maybe the parents grew up being beaten by ugly sticks? In either case… babies make my day.

And out of aaaaaaall babies… I think asian babies win :D

You rarely ever see an ugly asian baby! I have definately seen some super fugly white babies fo sho! But asian babies are so chubs, with big cheeks, small clueless eyes, and hair that just goes everywhere. Super SUPER cute.

I also see some parents with those baby leashes. Those things entertain me so much. Not the ethical use of it, but the hilarity that the babies are always thrown back by the leashes. Like the parents don’t tug or do anything mean, it’s just the babies try to run away and touch something, but get to the end of the leash and you can see them just try to stretch and reach what the want with all their might :D

One last thing, I find it hilarious when babies cry. They cry with so much passion, like the world is ending RIGHT then and there. But it only lasts for like 10 seconds, then they just look confused. Their faces are kinda like…

“WTF just happened? did I just cry? Why is my face wet?”

then the proceed to cry :D

effin love babies!

Happy Valentines! plus an original song by yours truly :D

Posted in Uncategorized on February 14, 2010 by thejlexperience

Hello cyber world!

Happy Valentines Day!

Though this day might be one of the most hate/love relationshipped holiday ever… (that’s right I used “relationship” as a verb)

I couldn’t help but appreciate the overall happiness in the air today :D

This day inspires so many intense emotions in people…

For the lovers of the day, the sappiness, cutsey, over-the-top PDA is done in pride. And they can’t get enough of it.

For the haters of the day, it inspires deep set anger issues. You can see them with their super judgemental stares at anything boy, girl, or even red. ManBulls… without the balls D:

Anywho, that wasn’t much of a segway but I made a song :D

Thank you to everyone that helped me with your honest opinions :)

CHECK IT!

Now I know what you are thinking… BUT

THIS SONG is not about a person! :D

I wrote this song about a jacket. This is how it all went down.

I was shopping in Coquitlam with my friend Jane, and was looking for a specific jacket. You know when got a picture in your mind of exactly what you want, and you go to every store trying to find it. However, everything you see is wrong. Even when you finally see something similar, it has a random design flaw that totally throws off the whole thing!

And you think to yourself…

“What the ef… I know this is out there.. it has to be! It’s NOT THAT COMPLICATED”

truth is? It is FUCKIN complicated.

Just like love quests :D

Happy Valentines everyone!

jL out!

the last word

Posted in Uncategorized on February 12, 2010 by thejlexperience

I remember… waaay back when I was still at St. Andrew’s Elementary school

I was sitting in the gymnasium with all 150 kids in my school listening to some teacher giving a presentation.

Now this may not be very interesting… but when the presentation was over, this would always happen…

how juvenile :D

This situation, for me at least, relates to a certain… discomfort I have with not having the last word.

I would be having a perfectly great conversation… the topic is interesting… we share laughs… we gain insight into each others worlds…

But then you can feel the conversation starting to hit the brakes. It usually starts with a weak laugh, or an awkward pause. Then one of you try to resuscitate the conversation by trying to add something extra to the last conversation topic. Almost a 90% fail there too!

Anyways, when the conversation does end, I can never be the one without the last word. It feels so awkward not having it!

I’m not being egotistical I swear!

For example,

I am terrible with goodbyes. Even when I say it first, then the other person says it back to me (out of courtesy of course), I always feel compelled to say goodbye… AGAIN

I think it might be because I grew up with parents that constantly gave me orders…

Do this! and Do that!

And they would always ask if I understood them. Of course, I would say “yes” in return. Thereby confirming the relaying of information. If I didn’t answer it would always come back 10 fold! Parents would always ask if I got it, then question why I was cheeky enough to not answer in the first place…

Then probably a ritual asian beating with the chicken feather stick! D:

With this sense of responsibility of confirming information, I always feel bad “leaving people hanging” on the conversation. I feel that if I don’t get the last word, they will always be thinking “and then…?” or “so…..?”

And whenever I don’t get the last word. I always get anxious thinking, “did that conversation go well? I hope they don’t think less of me!”….

Add this one to my psycho file D:

shower power (guy vs gal)

Posted in Uncategorized on February 4, 2010 by thejlexperience

freshness :D

So during one of the first weeks I started living in my new place, my friend Jacquie asked if she could stay over for the night. Of course, being the complete gentleman I am, I obliged. It was pretty chill, we played some games, talked about the Vic life, watched a movie…

Then she asked if she could take a shower…

I thought everything was alright with my place. It was basically brand new. Big kitchen, had a bed, a table, got the chairs, and a brand new bathroom! However, Jacquie came out of the shower looking completely disappointed.

“Totally a guy’s bathroom…”

Now whaaaaat the fuck does that mean?!

Apparently, my bathroom was not up to standard D:

I didn’t know what was wrong… I mean… I got shampoo, soap, a loofa… WHAT MORE CAN YOU WANT?!

Apparently…

A LOT

Fast forward a couple months to today. I am having another conversation with my friend Jane… and this is how it started…

jon // says:
hiiii jaaaane

-jane. says:
heyyyy jon

jon // says:
whatchu doing :]

-jane. says:
i just had an amaaazing shower
i exfoliated my feet and legs with a sea salt scrub, lathered off the oil with a moisturizing shower gel, cleaned off with my lovely smelling rose, honey and oregano lush soap, exfoliated my face with an apricot core scrub, and lotioned all over with my moisturizing tinted lotion..
and i feel amaaaaaaazzzinggg

jon // says:
OOOOO
party
in your bathroom

-jane. says:
big party

jon // says:
woowooo!

For starters… I didn’t know about half of the things she was referring to. I thought showering was simple! After 21 years of experience… I do consider myself an expert on the subject!

Step One: Get naked

Step Two: Get wet

Step Three: Shampoo yo head

Step Four: Soap loofa and party!

**that’s what she said to steps 1, 2, and 4**

However, I was proved wrong. APPARENTLY, I don’t got a clue how to shower properly!

After hearing how Jane’s shower went… it left my own shower time leaving me with a feeling of….

..

disappointment

What is usually the best part of my day was shattered by the realization that I have not maximized my bathroom experience!

I need to get on this shit RIGHT NOW

I mean I don’t know what “sea salt scrub” or “rose, honey, and oregano lush soap” is? (is it foood D:)

I JUST KNOW I WANT IT

I want it all!

Dammit Jane!

*sulking*
