First and foremost, I’d like to apologize for the lack of entries. But…thank you for continuing to visit and reading my past posts. That’s right I see all the hits and 30+ hits per day is not bad at all :) *I could use some feedback though*
The reason for my absence from blogging is that I’ve been living, staying in the present, putting my feet to work, and trying to be a good human (I have been hiking, biking, walking, running, dancing, partying, drinking; donating, supporting, and serving to do some good).
This past Sunday (10.17.10) I donated and walked the Aids Walk. It was my first and the experience was perfect. Yes, it was drizzling but that didn’t stop people from walking. They had music playing in almost every rest stop and the good vibe from the massive crowd just made me want to dance. It would have been the dopest party if it poured though. Imagine 30 thousand people dancing in the rain? Syck.
While walking…I saw this girl in a Pink Dress with this long train that was carried by some guy. I immediately thought “Why the hell is she in a dress in this rain? And that poor guy.” I got a closer look at the dress and was totally surprised; the whole dress was made out of Pink Condoms (except for the lining). Yup. Condoms.

Man, have I fallen back into dancing…HARD. I’ve been taking dance classes almost every week (two 1 hour classes) and hitting the clubs like no other. As messy as I am on the dance floor when drunk, I must say…I still got it. Yup, HONK HOOOONK (I don’t toot. I honk). I might not be out there trying to be the next dance star and I might not be up to date with the latest dances but, nothing will ever stop me from grooving. I’ll even dance with your mom if she’s fun.
As far as dance classes go, I usually take my homies’ at IDA Hollywood on Thursday Nights. Come dance, support, and live for once.

So music, a lot of people say that they LOVE all types of music. I on the other hand could only appreciate some of them (R&B, Hip Hop, Christian R&B, Reggae, House, Broadway, some Electro, Smooth Jazz, etc; Dubstep and Techno make me anxious). Now, in order for me to LOVE a certain song…the song has to move me. That would be another post…cuz this could get wordy.
I’ve been going to a lot of “House” parties lately and I realized that I’ve really missed it. House is the type of music that you can just…dance. I remember when I used to go clubbing in Seattle and we would hit this club that plays Deep House…and man I would just go off in my own corner. Loved it.
Speaking of House music, check out Tony Nuccio’s and Deepswing’s new release “Glory”. I had the pleasure of listening to one of Tony’s rough cut and it was great then but, it’s even sycker now. Every track is dope but my favorite is the Lovely Mix. Read about the release at Feel The Glory or visit Tony’s website.
Bob your head like everyone is watching.
Check out the tank I made Tony (you can’t really see details on the pic but, it had some cool patch work on the front). Yup, it’s made by yours truly and I def have more Prahjeks in store…stay with me.

So today I felt like doing a style blog. There aren’t much stylish people here at work so, what I did was I asked my friends to take a picture of their outfits today and send them to me via MMS. PRONTO style.
Most were like “What for?”, “No, I look whack and dirty”, “I’m in bed sick. I look gross”. While some others were I guess feeling cute and were up for the game.
Thanks for playing guys!
- CHAI @ work. She was the most full out with her umm…photoshoot (she gave me a whole bunch of close ups and detail of her outfit.
- EMULAN Up In The Air (Seattle Bound)

I know…I know…I’ve been MIA and haven’t prahjekted in a while. I’ve been super busy with my 9-5 and non-prahjeks :/
But I’m back! Inspired and rejuvenated. Speaking of being inspired…Check out Mr Juun J’s FW 10 Collection. UGH.
His Fanny Pack reminds me of Alexander Wang’s Max Fanny Pack

Prahjeks (gold drop crotch pants) is up on U.P. (The Uniform Project) “Golden Goodbye to the Noughties“!!!
The Uniform Project is known to be this year’s (2009-2010) most sustainable and humane fashion project. They were also nominated for 2009 People’s Design Award.
The idea basically goes like this. To wear 1 dress for the whole year (I’m day #245). Well, 7 identical dresses but of the same design. They (Sheena – mastermind and Eliza – dressmaker) would recreate the look by accessorizing and adding layers to the dress. Cool huh? HOWEVER, the most cool thing about this project is the Akanksha Foundation fundraiser. “At the end of the year, all contributions will go toward Akanksha’s School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for children living in Indian slums.” DOUBLE WORD UP POINTS!
I’m so happy and proud to partake in this project. Cheers to TwentyTen!!! Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaay!
To Eliza, Sheena, and to the whole U.P. Team, THANK YOU!!! When Eliza said that Prahjeks will be featured in your “very special date”, I had no idea it would be New Years Eve. AAAAAAH!!! :))))))))
Special thanks to ROOKSIEDEAR for sharing and for the motivation.
