Public Transportation

So, for the first time in Los Angeles I have experienced the wonderful world of public transportation. My car broke down or something about the cooling system broke and had to get it fixed so in order to get to work I had to Get on the Bus. Let me tell you, what a trip..... On car the trip usually takes 20-25 mins but on the wonderful bus system it takes 2 hours! so instead of waking up at 7am i had to wake up at 5:45am! apart from that it was not that bad really, its clean and not a lot of punks like i thought it would be but Chris was telling me that its because the ganstas are probably in compton. But to tell you the truth I'm glad that i got my car back and i can get to my regular schedule and avoid sitting next to a stranger which most likely be an amigo that stinks because he has been busting his ass working two jobs.

this is dedicated to the fine METRO system..... thanks for two wonderful days...

later.

The Camera House

Last week I started, what I believe is the next step in my life. I got a new job at "The Camera House" (www.thecamerahouse.com), I am not freelancing anymore for visa purposes but actually happy with my job. Last week was very physically demanding carrying 50 pound boxes all day but getting aquainted with all the equipment. I am in the shipping and recieving so all the equipment that goes out or comes in will go through me so i have to learn every single part of the camera. The job is a two year program which goes through shipping and recieving then I go up to being a Prep tech and help all the ACs prep their cameras for shooting and then after two years go out to be an AC myself and work my way up to being a DP! hopefully all goes as planned...
Just wanted to update my career life i guess to the few that actually read this (thanks to you) and yeah hope you are all doing well...

Sommer, hope you enjoy the concert.. i wish i were going there again! it was AMAZING!

Waygen, if you still read this hope everything is going well in london and say hi to Sebs.

Chris, keep the mex flowing! and again thanks for the painting.. its awsome to see my natural habitat.....

laters.

What can I say...

INCREDIBLE. That is the word that would sum up my experience last night at the verizon amphitheater while enjoying an earful of Coldplay. The concert was Amazing! The 80 dollars i paid was worth it and more. I really was afraid that Chris's comments were gonna come true and it would be a rather boring concert with Chris Martin sitting infront of his piano singing but he is so energetic on stage that makes you feel really good and makes you feel he really enjoys singing. His energy was very contageous and his sense of humor was hilarious as well.. Specially when a girl tossed her bra on stage while he was talking and the first thing he said was: "Holy Shit, a Bra!" he is so damn cute! i LOVE Chris Martin! But... I must say it is the best concert i have ever been to! Worth my money, my time and everything!!!!!!! i wish there were another concert i could go to....

Coldplay Rocks!

The Time has come!

So At last, after waiting for and incredidly long 3 months the day for Coldplay has come! YEAHHHH I cant wait to go to the concert tonight... in a few mins im gonna be heading out to long beach with diana to meet up with Chris and then go on to enjoi our concert that i know will be incredible... hopefully no one will slash their wrists! hehehehe...

on another note for the ones who dont know i just got a new full time job at the Camera House (www.thecamerahouse.com) Im going to be in a two year program that they offer, first year doing shipping and recieving of all the equipment that will allow me to get to know all the gear well, including the new viper HD camera.. the next year i go on to be a prep tech on the floor helping all the camera assistants that come in and prep the equipment before every shot. after tha second year i will know all the AC's and they willl send me out on the field to be a loader or even a 1st AC. So hpefully if all goes as planned ill be in the field in the camera crew in two years.... cross my fingers!

well catch ya later.

The Falls

So today me and Chris went to Escondido Falls in Malibu. It was a very short trail but definitely not easy. There was quite a bit of rock climbing involded so it was harder than we thought. It was really rewarding and a lot of fun,a little change of pace and it was more tha just walking so we exercised different muscles than we are used to. At the end Chris decided to jog and trot going back to the parking lot so it was pretty exausting... well here are some pics that I put together so enjoi!

today.

so today like all sundays i went hiking with Chris and we went to eagle rock. ive been there before with diana but just took chris this time.. it is so awsome! i love it it is so peaceful and tranquil, a bit scary as, chris would say but pretty amazing. The view is incredible and we took a few pics and stiched them together. one of them is me on top of the rock, you can hardly see me but look closely and you will see me on the top. the long pic is a 360 view from a nother point nearby and you can see the big rock from a far, you can see the trails, mountains and the incredible view.

enjoy... i will keep looking for new places to hike and new views to photograph...

Thin Air......

WEll my entire body is hurting now after a strenuos 6 hour hike yesterday. Diana, Chris and I went to long beach, to "El Moro Canyon" we started at 8:45am and ended at around 3:00pm it was exhausting but then we plunged into the pool wich was really refreshing... After that incredible hike i felt so proud, and as Chris would probably say, I'm getting arrogant , but really i dont think ive ever done this much excersising in my life! it was really rewarding and i hope i keep doing this... Next step is trail running trying to run most parts of the hikes....

It is very impressive to me that we keep on bumping into these really older people around their sixties, hiking and biking and totally beating us too.... there was this old lady on a bike and she was soo impresive did not even seem tired or anything, then this other women yesterday we overheard her saying she just ran 20 miles! WHAT! these people are crazy around here!!! WOW!

but ill post a 360 shot that we took last time at runyon canyon. it is located right smack in the middle of hollywood and its really cool cause you can see the entire city from up there and the view is pretty impressive. Ill stich all the photos so that you can see all of the 360 view laterbut here is a preview.
