She's a good loving, high octane, fire-bomb of a human being.

about me
(Updated 03-08-08)
Did you know they let me in charge of children? phwa haha. I am currently working as a 6th grade core teacher in a school district in San Jose. Core is homeroom, which means english language arts and social studies.
Teaching is totally what I was meant to do, and I absolutely love it. I have to be a little more mature and watch my language, and it's definitely a challenge. I'm around adolescents all day long, it's hard for me to not be their buddy. :)
They're cutting the education budget in California, and we're totally feeling it. Help save our schools!
I started doing pyrotechnics in 2007 since I wasn't going up to san fran as often. I helped with that really huge show off the piers in San Fran for July 4. I love pyrotechnics! I recently got my permit to handle explosives from the government. be scared!
I started Muay Thai/Kickboxing at the American Kickboxing Academy first week of 2008. I go 4 times a week. I absolutely love it. I get my ass kicked, but it's awesome.
It's taken time, but I had to grow up eventually.
Uh...actually...since i'm teaching...i don't have to grow up at all. I guess it's all how you look at it. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
Let's see. What else...i like hugs and looking people in the eyes.
I like to cuddle.
I like to touch people. okay that sounded bad, but i communicate a lot through touch (i'm a massage therapist. go figure)...
If any of this intrigues you, feel free contact me. I love meeting new people. Wherever you may be.
Love, Light, and Liberation. anything else?

I just got a new tattoo last night, and I wanted to share pictures with you. Check out my new album. It's inspired by traditional filipino designs, and most of it means inner journey, among other things. It took about an hour to finish. Here's...

Snow at the Ranch!

I just got back from the first DPW Work Weekend of the 2008 season.
I keep telling people I won't be DPW-ing this year because I'm going to Bali, but I have been convinced otherwise. It's one thing for my peers to tell me to do it, but it's an...

On Saturday, while we were working, there was a huuuge white out. Not just on playa, EVERYWHERE. Even in Gerlach. It was insane! It
looked like fog, but it totally wasn't. It looked like the whole span of playa was on fire. If it's this bad now, I wonder how bad it will be in the summer...
This following is a continuatio...

I keep telling people I won't be DPW-ing this year because I'm going to Bali, but I have been convinced otherwise. It's one thing for my peers to tell me to do it, but it's another thing when the "supervisors" have a word with me. That's what happened, so, I'm coming back [same deal as last year, work until i have to prep for school]. Not like it took too much to convince me. :)
So, back to the Work Weekend...It was f...

Well, that's a lie. i feel totally different, and a lot better.
First off, I want to tell you how thankful I am to have so many awesome people in my life. Sometimes I think i don't tell people enough.
Next thing, I want to tell you how awesome two week winter vacations are. teehee.
I absolutely love being a teacher, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. After the vacation my mental and emotional approa...

I've made the decision.
After Christmas, I'm going to start training in kickboxing and jiu jitsu. I think it's time. I want to get my ass kicked and get my body in shape. I want the stress relief.
I am 95% sure I won't ever compete (let's face it, I don't really like to get hit...but then again...I never really have gotten hit before...hmmm....all the other martial arts I've done were no contact...hmm...)...but I wouldn't mind being a sparring partner or something.
At least I'll g...
