Come party with me and Fight Chix at UFC 90 in Chicago!

YAY! I’m so excited to go to Chicago. I absolutely love that city. Plus, I have so many friends out there too. Clay Guida and Georgie Pooh promised me sushi lol. Miguel Torres and Shonie Carter promised me a salsa dance haha. Not only that, we get to celebrate Elisabeth’s birthday too. She is an absolute sweetheart. I can’t wait to party with her… *edited* and Jake too!

I know that by the time it’s time to go I’m not gonna wanna leave.

I’m so excited!

Drea had to check my ass

That’s what best friends are for.

Drea had to let me know that I’ve been filled with a lot of negative energy for the past few months. It was a serious deep conversation. Sometimes I don’t realize that people feel uncomfortable from my actions and it’s only because I’m secure with my self and very comfortable in my own skin like when I dance around and pop my booty lol. But she was right. There has been a lot of negative things that I’ve done lately. For example, I kicked some girls ass at Les Deux last week. I know I shouldn’t have but she was drunk and said a few things, I was intoxicated too, but anyway I knocked her out and I shouldn’t have. She was an innocent drunk white girl who probably woke up the next day not knowing what happened. Me on the other hand, a few months ago I probably wouldn’t have done shit and let the girl just go, but because I have a lot of anger in me I just let loose on her. Drinking shouldn’t be my excuse, I should know better. If I ever see her again I’d apologize to her.

Anyway, I know exactly what it is that has been causing me to act this way. Ever since JD and I started or tried to be friends again I’ve been filled with this negative energy. And don’t get me wrong, it’s not all him. It’s stress that goes down with IMMAE too, but he definitely takes a toll on me. He may have hit me up last week and said he was sorry for being an asshole and he loves me and adores me dearly, but that don’t mean shit. No matter how much we care, him and I have a lot of hatred towards each other. He still has the same issues he has had since we broke up. The reason why we broke up was so he could find time to himself to fix them, but they are obviously still there. I hope he figures them out one day. I know I won’t be there for it.

I’m going to make a change cause there is no way I am going to let my anger towards him affect my actions and jeopardize the friendships that I’ve already created. I really need to learn my lesson and I’ve already started to make the changes.

*flexes*

I love Drea for keepin’ it real with me.

I didn’t realize Brandon Vera was that big in the Philippines

Since I’ve been on this Filipino food craving for the past few days. I called my pare, Nolan to grab some grub again. Next thing you know Nolan, Knowa (who by the way is a well known Pinoy rapper.. I gotta plug him), Ryan, and I were on our way to Pinoy Pinay in the Valley.

As I was walking through the convenient store I saw this shirt and it’s made by the Philippine All Stars, which is a HUGE celebrity dance crew in the Philippines. They are our Jabawockeez in a sense. The shirt lists names of influential celebrities in the Filipino Hip Hop culture. I thought it was pretty dope Brandon’s name was on the shirt. Not only was Brandon’s name on it, but Billy Crawford’s name was on it too. I met Billy and his wife Maryss through JD as soon as I moved to LA years ago. At that time I didn’t know it but Billy is like the Justin Timberlake of the Philippines lol. I still keep in touch with them from time to time too. The last time I was them was a few months ago at Billy’s birthday party. I hope they are doing well.

Anyway, As soon as I BeenUp2′ed the photo I text it to Billy and then emailed the photo to Ed Clay. Ed is in England helping Brandon train for his fight this weekend. He responded back and laughed at it and told me Brandon said Hi too and we all gotta hit up Vegas again. Vegas with Ed Clay, Brandon and Kerry Vera is like a vacation times 10 LOL. I miss them and I can’t wait to party with them after Brandon whoops Keith Jardine’s butt this weekend. I’m gonna have to remind Brandon to bring his fun ass sister Michelle and of course his cutie brother Joel too hehe

I found this YouTube video of Brandon Vera today.

He talks about how proud of a Pinoy he is. I love and respect Brandon so much for truly representing our culture. He is very humble, true to his wife, loves his family, and loves Filipino food lol.

I remember last year when I asked Brandon to come to our NAMMAE show. He said “Heck yeah I’ll come… Filipino pride baby!”, meaning because I was pinay and putting the event together he was gonna come through and show me some love. That’s just the type of friend he is. It’s kababayan all day everyday with Brandon. I wish everyone got to know him personally. They weren’t lying when they called him “The Truth!” HAHA.

I sooooo can’t wait for the UFC in the Philippines too. I really hope I can plan an IMMAE event that weekend. I would love to show my people how great of a sport MMA really is. All Filipinos love boxing… they are gonna definitely love MMA even more after the UFC is there… plus an IMMAE too hehe *crosses fingers*

Anyway, I’m off to Bahay Kubo for some Kare Kare again lol…

Please pray for my co-host, friend, and known MMA reporter Ron Yacovetti aka The Yac Man

I just got a call from our other co-host Randy Johnson aka Randy J, who told me that we have to cancel our show tonight because Ron Yacovetti’s home is in danger from the Southern California fires. Our show got picked up by another network and we were going to shoot our first show at 7pm today, but due to Ron’s situation we won’t be able to film tonight. His family is now getting evacuated from their home. (KTLA Article – Fire Forces Evacuation in Porter Ranch)

Ron is a comedian and has spent the past few years as a reporter for ProElite.com. He has a tremendous amount of passion for the sport and is an awesome friend.

With that being said, please support my friend Ron Yacovetti aka The Yac Man and say a prayer for him and his family. I believe in the power of prayer and I pray to God that his family doesn’t lose their home.

Me, The Yac Man, Gina Carano, and Randy J

Gutom na ako! Soooo not fair!

*sigh*

So I go to The Underground and there is a thread titled Phillipe Nover is Filipino. For some reason, every time there is a thread on the UG in regards to Filipinos it always ends up in talking about Filipino food… so like our culture, right? Freakin’ Quik posted pictures from the Philippines and Lechon!

Check this Lechon out!

If you’re not Filipino you may not understand or it just may look disgusting to you, but to me, right now that Lechon is pure gold! HAHA!

What sucks is that there is no Filipino restaurants near me. Seafood City, Goldilocks, Pinoy Pinay, etc they are all about a 20 minute drive. Plus it’s 10PM right now. Errrrrrrr! If we were in the Bay I’d sooooo head out to Lucky Chances right now. I wish there was one here in LA.

And don’t get it twisted, I love to cook. Right now it’s late and I’m hungry.

*sigh* At times like this I miss my Mama! Her Kare Kare is off the chains!!!

In the mist of all my Filipino food cravings. I text my friend, Paul, who lives out here and is Filipino. I asked him if he knew of any Filipino restaurants open this late. Unfortunately, there is isn’t. So we made plans to grab Barrio Fiesta in Eagle Rock tomorrow. I normally go to Max’s in Glendale so I’m pretty excited to try some place new.

Looks like I’ll have to settle for Top Ramen with Sinagang mix. For now, it still doesn’t satisfy my hunger. Gutom na ako!
