I kept this a secret

for so long that I forgot about it. Here's something I did for fun back in 2006(?) or 2007(?). I used a Pentium II to record and piece together 1 minute segments into full songs, a couple with harmonies. I didn't have very many extracurriculars then... -_- lol. :D

I should start keeping a journal

to help me keep track of my days here. I've been in Portland for nearly 3 weeks now, staying with my cousin and his family. This city is beautiful. Hopping here after the week we spent in Las Vegas really set the contrast with all the green that you see in Oregon. When the plane was descending, me the guy next to me were oggling at the scenery: the trees, the rivers, the mountains (Mount Hood & Mount Saint Helens)... I loved Vegas, too. When we went there for Forensics Nationals, I fell in love with the terrain and the climate. The mountains that just loom on every inch of the encircling horizon make you feel like an ant in a landfill. The dry desert heat mimmicked the feel of gusts of heat rolling out of an oven. I don't know, but something about that landscape really blew my horn. Portland is a complete 180 in environment. "Portland versus Vegas": the two opposite ends of the environmental biomic spectrum. They're both amazing. I'll probably write another blog entry on the Las Vegas trip later.

Oof, running out of time. Gotta scoot. Another cousin of mine staying in Portland will be here in hour to take me out for lunch. More on that later.

One more thing, I miss my friends from back home. I miss the CNMI NFL Team. There are particular people I'd like to mention, but...a phone call from me to you would be the preferred type of hello throughout my 'absence'.

Alright, BYE!
