So I got my MacBook on Friday. Exchanged it out on Sunday. And again today.

Man what a great impression Apple has left on me! Just kidding. I love my MacBook. But it did suck that the first one was defective. Everything was fine except the “J” button wouldn’t work sometimes. So they exchanged it out and the second one was good to me. But then Apple decided to come out with NEW MacBooks today!

Same model, same price, but faster duo processor and a bigger hard drive. Just my luck huh? So I called the Apple store to ask if I could exchange it…again…and the girl told me to bring my stuff in but she couldn’t guarantee it. Really? That’s great. I also found out that if they were going to I’d have to pay the restocking fee of 10%. That’s $119 buddy. NO THANKS. Mike told me to go in and ask for a manager and so that’s what I did. I didn’t get to discuss my situation to the manager, but the guy that went to go get him did. So they were nice enough to exchange it out without me having to pay the restocking fee. So now I’m on my third MacBook in 5 days. But I really can’t complain. The people at the store have been good to me. Hopefully the next time I step foot into that store will be to buy fun accessories. Now it’s time to reload all my pictures and music…again.

Kong forwarded this email to a few of our friends today and I thought some of the pictures were hilarious. Just thought I’d share them with you! Enjoy.

So apparently Google answers all your questions.

Okay, I did start laughing out loud when I saw this.

I used to wear two polos together with the collar popped…but four? That’s just ridiculous.

And my favorites…

The ninja ones remind me of our friends!! Lol

YAY! I got a MacBook 🙂 After debating between the black and white one, I decided to settle with the white one with the 2.2GHz and 120GB hard drive. I figured, why not save $200 since I have an iMac and external hard drive? Let me tell you…I’m loving it! Glad I invested in one.

Anyways, so like I said in my first blog I’m pretty lazy at updating this thing. So here are some pictures from Jon’s birthday and Ize’s birthday.

The night of Jon’s party was the day I got back from Vegas and so I didn’t stay the whole time. For his birthday he decided to have a beer pong party which I must say is a dope idea for a birthday. They started playing after I left so I didn’t get to watch. If you want to see pictures you can check em’ out on Marcus’ blog.

That’s love right there!

Izelle celebrated her birthday yesterday at Public in the city. It felt like a reunion!

Augs, Ize, Me

Me and the birthday girl! 🙂

Crazy night from what I must say…or from what I’ve heard. I think I was lost the whole time because apparently I didn’t know what was going on. I’m not saying I was super drunk and didn’t remember anything. More like I was really lost and for some reason didn’t know what was going on with everyone. Where was I?!

So I never thought of having my own blog, but i guess you can say I had something like it when I had one of those online journal things. It’s been so long that I can’t even remember the name of the website. But admit it, that’s probably how blogging started. Nowadays blogs are a way to promote things and share experiences and I guess you can say this is what my blog’s about, but just to let you know, I probably won’t blog toooooo much…I get lazy and sometimes don’t have anything to say or show you. Guess it’s more of a personal reference for myself.

So, lets get my first story started!

This past week I was in Vegas for the Magic Tradeshow (no I’m not talking about Magic the card game…a clothing tradeshow) and United Tradeshow.

Tuesday: Alex, Gian, and Dom were already in Vegas and so I decided to fly in the day the shows started. I had a 7am flight with lovely Virgin America. It was my frist time with that airline, but damn…felt like I was in a

music video or something with the purple lights.

The lovely South City and blanket of fog.

Although there was that blanket of fog, there was still a beautiful sunrise.

After landing I headed to Alexis Park Resort where we were staying and where United was being held at. Gian was almost done setting up and to my surprise we had massage chairs in our booth. I won’t say how Gian got them, but I will say that you have to pay a dollar for five minutes in that thing.

People actually paid a dollar to sit in it for five minutes including these guys.

and Mike from Frank 151’s.

United is smaller compared to Magic and because we were doing two shows, Alex and Dom were at Magic while me and Gian were at United.


Just a peek of our new line of 5 panel hats. Check em out at our online store.

They look normal, but suuupliiiiise!

Wednesday:

I ran into my cousin Cindy from Daly City who was at United too for her friend’s clothing line.

That night I had dinner with my other cousin who lives in Vegas with her husband Keith and their daughter Mackenzie. Little Mackenzie is soooo cute.

Later that night we decided to go out. We were trying to check out a party at Prive in Planet Hollywood, but ended up going out to a party in the Palms.

Dom and I ended up going to another place after that but I think was pretty wasted to take pictures.

My cousin and her friends Jame and Loretta. They’re brand’s called 5733. Check em’ out.

Gian was multi-tasking. Talking on the phone, video chatting with his gf, and eating a cupcake that Alex’s gf had surprised us with for Valentine’s Day. Which by the way was yummy and very sweet of her. Thanks Ivy!

Gian showing our neighbors from Real Deal some stuff on illustrator.

And then they drinking started…for the guys atleast.

Here are a couple booths around us and some random pictures…

Meaning I saw Yoshi! I’ve known Yoshi (aka Jess) since elementary school and if it wasn’t for this girl I wouldn’t have learned about the fashion industry and streetwear culture. She’s lives in NY and is a buyer for Fatlace and a sales rep for In4mation.

I stopped by the DimePiece booth to talk to Laura who I met at the last Magic Tradeshow. At only 21 years old, Laura and her partner created a succesful womens line and they’re continuing to grow. Thanks for the shirt girl!

One of the funniest guys you’ll ever meet.

After breaking down the booth…I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and found Gian like this. We had to wait for Alex to pick us up…so Gian decided to take a little nap.

While leaving I decided to just take some pictures while we were walking out. These booths are mad CRAZY. They look like stores…some with even 2 stories.

Before we left today we went to check out a store called Fruition. They’re pretty dope with a lot of vintage stuff.
