holy smokes...was may the last time i put something up here...? that was a long time ago...almost a year...funny how time flies.

this is going to be an abbreviated blog, as i'll add some good stuff as soon as i can.

in the mean time...here is my update...

living in LA sure is an experience...do i like it better than living in Toronto? of course not...i spent practically my whole life in Toronto, so it's hardly a comparison. however, living in a big city always seems to have more character...just like NYC, or Chicago...Toronto has the same appeal...but cleaner (as my US friends always tell me).

LA is cool, when it comes to beaches, and weather...but soon, that novelty wears thin. honestly, from the locals who i've met here, they don't really go to the beach, or they complain that the traffic is too bad, or the that it gets too hot! i guess, if you're from here, you're not going to savour the intricacies of these things...just like Toronto is too cold, the taxes are too high, and the beach is well...can be hardly called a beach. but i must admit, Toronto does have the best chinese food around...hands down!

but life is good...and in the US, they seem to have a holiday every month...something i'm not used to growing up in TO.

i've met some cool people, but i've also met some typical rude ass americans...does it just escape people to be a little courteous? does it really matter how much money i make, what car i drive, or where i live? when you meet people here, that is what they ask you....it amazes me, as i don't think any of my friends back home cared about that stuff....but being here, so close to Hollywood, it matters...and it's pretty sad.

how do i like working with the Ducks? well, i can tell you it's a lot better working here than with the Leafs...the Ducks actually win games, and compete...can't say much about the LEAFS, but maybe old man Fletcher can do some things in the interim. who knows...but my Raptors are playing well...and i never miss a game. thank goodness of NBA Leaguepass.

my title has changed here in the last several months...i was working as the research analyst, but now i'm the media service coordinator/traffic manager...sounds pretty fancy to me...i wonder whether they can fit that on my business card. i am learning lots about media, and broadcasting...ultimately, i'd like to shift over into TV broadcast, and media. especially in this town...who knows, maybe they'll produce a sitcom about a filipino kid from Toronto, who moves out west to be a huge TV star...or porn star...however you want to swing it!
