Can't buy Swag


“Swag” is like modern terminology for “Cool”, and “Cool” became “Ok”. But, thing people need to understand is that, YOU CAN’T BUY SWAG! You can drape yourself in brand name clothes(buying Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Jordans, and Rolex watch) but when you don’t have it, you just don’t have it. Not to flatter myself, but when I go out, I become a life of party. When I went to some bar in Seattle; I didn’t see anyone on the dance floor and when me and my friend got to it, I started to see people come into dance. When I went to Tiki in Kirkland; the bar was dead and few of my friends were sitting around drinking. Me and my friend who walked in flipped that place upside down and later that night, we had all eyes on us. After Tiki, we moved to Time Out and we hit the floor again and at the end of the night, girls were giving me high fives, left and right. These are few examples. Me and my friends are cool and when we go out to the bar, normally, we would take over and own it. But was it the clothes I’m wearing, was it the expensive car I was driving, was I buying out the bar? NO. We went, we enjoyed, we danced, we drank, and we moved on to next. All that time, I had WSU T shirt on, $15 watch I bought on, Timbs that I bought at Ross for $35, and jeans I bought in outlet mall for $20. We had people wanted to dance with us, trying to get in our circle and hang with us, and even, they wanted to buy us drinks even they didn't know us. I don’t have to wear fancy clothes, and $50 hair cut and fresh out of the box Jordans to have swag. Swag is how you carry yourself. Even though you could look like 50 cents, you carry yourself like you worth millions; like, no one can tell you what to do and you are capturing every moment that you have on this earth. I’m not one of those creepy ass dude who walks behind a dancing girl and start grinding on her, I’m not sitting there and trying to buy love with drinks and hoping she get too intoxicated to care, I’m not there worrying what people would think about me. NO, I’m walking around like I’m the baddest mofo around. Selfish, possibly, cocky, probably, narcissistic  you know it ;) ha ha. I love myself, but who doesn't love themselves? You just got to act like, FUCK everyone, this is my world, my time, my moment. You can’t buy swag, swag is an attitude. They can’t teach you to have swag, you just got to feel it.

Special: My Memory of You(R.I.P Melissa Fagin)

It was 8th grade that I moved to Redmond from Lynnwood. I didn't no anyone but people were nice to greet a foreign kid who still had an accent and weird style. I started to hang around Anthony and one day, I met you with Chris in a weird situation. But you were still funny, you were still gorgeous and you were great person to hang around. Ever since that we all became the 107 st./ block crew. Me with Omar, Phil, Ron, Anthony, and Chris, you with Ashley, Michaela, Moss, Stacy, Rachel; we were friends that were closer than just friends. We formed a family that we promised to be there when others needed help, motivation and support. I remember in 9th grade, I went to your house with Curtis and I think Ron and I remember the look you gave me and later on Curtis told me you liked how I looked . That maybe be take 254 at 9 PM to go back up the education hill to ask you out to be my girl. We dated 1 week but I still remember how me, you, Ron and Ash all walking around Redmond near Junio...

My cellphone history

Image
I had a cell phone ever since I was in 8th grade. Not because my parents were rich and just wanted to spoil their kids, they gave us the phone because they worked all the time and, what do you expect, we wanted it for emergency reasons ;), right? Just like many of you, my first phone was Nokia and we would text, call and play snakes on it. We had to buy ringtones from third party that sounded really nothing like the song. But it was cool and it was new, so I loved it and it served the purpose. Nokia 3390                          But soon after, flip phone era was in. But, nothing really cool was            cool was coming out. It was smaller the better kind of era and it had            to be a flip phone, so I got a Samsung phone that was simple but ok            work with. More games were on it, ringtones became more...

Top 5 Favorite Rappers of PJ

Image
I listen to everything from Rap, Rock, Jazz, Classicial, Blues, Punk, Pop, R&B, Dub Step, EDM and even Folk (No country or Heavy Metal, sorry). But, at the end of the day, my favorite have to be Hip Hop/ Rap. Why? because even though, so many so called music aficionados believe rap isn't really music, rap convey message using slang and code and it really fascinate me of how much creative a person can get. But do not get me wrong; this doesn't mean I like all rappers. If anything, I am more harsh on rappers than a R&B singers. For me, rap got to me creative and unique. Rap got to convey a message that everyone goes through and let the fans relate to the lyrics. Rap shouldn't always be about Money, Cars, Blings and Hoes; I love intelligent rap that actually have a message and meaning. So here is my top 5 rappers. 1) Jay - Z: If you know me, this shouldn't come off as a shock; this guy is my idol. Yes, he does talk about money, cars, blings and hoes; but who does...
