Get BOOTED in Seattle, WA

Every downtown in nation are the hardest places to find parking places and that is no exception for Seattle, WA. Actually, I find Seattle parking accommodation more difficult then other cities such as Los Angeles or San Antonio. We sometimes get confused by the sign, parking meter might be out of order, or it's just might be lack of your focus but every time I street park in Seattle, it tents to get me on the edge. In Seattle, it's better to leave your car in parking garage and hide away from the parking fairy with their white and blue golf karts.

Now Seattle is making that this more difficult then what it is. If you live in Seattle, you should know parking meter only lets you out maximum of 2 hrs. When I went to Art Institute of Seattle, our classes were 4 hrs long for each class and I often forgot about putting money in the meter. I received at least 3 tickets an year. Now, it gets more scary; if you have 4 or more unpaid parking tickets, they gonna "Boot" you car. To release the boot, you must call and arrange to pay by credit card or other payment method. And employee will provide a code to unlock the boot. The driver must return the 16 pound boot within 2 business days at one of three locations, or face additional fines of $25 a day or a $500 replacement fee if the boot is stolen, lost or discarded. 

This is Bullshit. It's already difficult to park and enjoy the downtown area but now this will chase away people and drive people to go to other cities such as Bellevue, or even Spokane. This is unnecessary procedure will soon drive citizens mad. To grow revenue of the city, they are jeopardizing allot. So I will end this blog by saying, REPEAL THE BOOT POLICY!!!!

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 realistic.            One thing I liked about this phone was that it had display section            on the front cover. Just in case, mom or dad called

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
