I’m an avid #NBA fan. All fanaticism aside, you must admit, #MiamiHeat’s #27 #winning streak was impressive. They didn’t break the 33 game winning streak by the ‘72 Lakers, but I’m sure El Heat will win more championships as long they have #DwyaneWade, #ChrisBosh, #LeBronJames, Coach Spo, and the main supporting cast around. That reminds me of life itself. No matter what good thing we have going right now; it could end at anytime. Only God can tell, we have no control of our circumstances. But now the real test comes when we are climbing back to the top from ground zero. Never lose focus of the main prize. For the Heat, it’s the championship trophy. Let’s earn our own championship trophy in life. 1 Corinthians 9:24 King James Version “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.” -#red. #teamwork #setyouregoaside #bible #KingJames #KingJamesVersion #basketball #game #champions #americanlife #cheesy #peptalk
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
I’ve seen many #TheWalkingDead & #ChristopherWalken #mashup, but I’ll take it a step further by incorporating #FatboySlim #musicvideo #WeaponOfChoice where #Walken is #dancing gracefully the entire time. Brilliant video by #SpikeJonze. I call this #sketch “The Dancing Walken Dead”. I’d wear this t-shirt around too if I get a chance to screen print it. -red. #artstagram #drawingoftheday #original #artwork #bestinstagramart #drawing #pencil #supernerd #zombie #comicbook #TVshow #RobertKirkman #amc #americanlife
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
There’s this #cat who always poop by my window. I know their intention is probably to keep me company, just like every other cats who came over whenever I’m #depressed. But the poop smell is very strong. Imagine waking up to that smell haha. I still love #cats no matter what. Even after they defecated all over my porch. Strange things happen to strange people; cats are strange when you are #strange. -red. #gentlecat #senorgato #artstagram #sketch #pencil #drawingoftheday #catsofinstagram #catlovers #gentleman #bowtie #fedora #dapper #smileycat #meow

My #40days #fasting from 2013.02.12 - 2012.03.23 ends today. People always asked why I did it, I’d always reply because I need clarity. Having this #mentalillness symptoms like #depression, #paranoia, #delusion, #selfdoubt, #selfhate, #disorientation, and #insomnia for so long is no picnic. I’m turning to the greatest force of all, God almighty, to help me. Break this #demonic stronghold. You may think I’m crazy, well I am, but I know God is real. He works through people around me. Of course there are people out there who has bigger problems than mine. After I lost my jobs, my car, my guitar and drum sticks got stolen, lost relationships, my band went on hiatus, I lost my #faith in people, I’ve been #numb, #bitter to everyone I know. I couldn’t feel #love. You should know that performing #music and being alone enjoying #art gives me pure #joy. Let’s say, you go on a nightclub or see live music or party with friends are where you let loose in your comfort zone. In my case it’s the opposite, those things make me #depressed. Being in a crowd of people and socializing suffocate me. But I’m #blessed to have friends who gave me encouragement, #hope, helped me without asking anything in return just like I would do to them. You know who you are. Even the random people who I met along the way. God is working through everyone, everything, non stop. It’s monumental to end my fast on a high note; volunteering with passionate people at Freedom and Fashion to #fightsocialinjustice, then yesterday I played music like a #maniac at my friend’s wedding jam session where I reunite with most of my friends. At the end of the night my two beloved sisters whom I haven’t seen for so long surprised me at a dinner gathering and gave me a big hug. God You are awesome. I may not be cured from this #psycho #sickness, but I’ll learn to get through it cause I know I have the best of supports; God, family, friends. -#red. #redmisery #freedom #slavery #sin #hell #hellonearth #drawingoftheday #artstagram #wip #sketch #selfdeprecation #selfportrait #americanlife
It’s technically Sunday so my one week facebook fasting is over. Now where do I begin…. I’ll get to your posts in a moment.

Congratulations to @marcellolalopua and Dipi and #thankyou both for letting your #musician friends jam out and have #funfunfun. Marcello has a voice of an angel, nice #surprise during the #wedding #ceremony. -red. #musicians #church #wearethewildyouth #americanlife #DowntownLongBeach (at Downtown Long Beach)
The #fashion show was a blessing, serving a greater purpose to #fightsocialinjustice with talented, #passionate people of #FreedomAndFashion. I love running the engine behind the scenes. Thanks @cstin3 for letting me carpool and thanks @nizapatty & @wong_java for supporting us! -red. #funfunfun #americanlife #smile #candid #volunteer (at Los Angeles Fashion District)
Barely home from #volunteer session for #FreedomAndFashion and the crew are actually staying on site to make sure the #Ceremony #Runway show will be a rewarding experience for all of you. That’s how #passionate they are about #antihumantrafficking and #fashion itself. To all of you going to the #fashionshow tonight and still without a ticket, buy them online before you get to the #event cause ticket prices go up at the door, while online it’s as low as $15, a real bargain!

A few #vintage #clothing I acquired from #thrift shopping, and now I’m selling and donating them back to local #thriftstores; #recycled #fashion if you will. Only wore those once usually for my shows, but #illneverbefamous so no need to auction them haha. And yes some of those are women’s #apparel. I kinda need the cash to buy some pita bread at Kentro. Yum. -red. #poormusician #strugglingmusician #idonthavemoney #lowoncash #illnevergrowup #flannel #plaid #shirt #jacket #americanlife (at Kentro Greek Kitchen)
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Tonight’s #episode of #Arrow was the best one I’ve seen. It’s a biased opinion since #Huntress returns, and she got herself into tight corners as usual. Helena, why do you keep doing that to yourself? We’re trying to help you. In the #bible it says numerous times about #revenge, for example Romans 12:17 “Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.” Or 1 Peter 3:9 “Not rendering evil for #evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise #blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.” I don’t really watch the telly but when Huntress is in action, all bets are off. -red. #rebel #vigilante #rebellious #HelenaBertinelli #Batman #GreenArrow #BatFamily #StarlingCity #JessicaDeGouw #CW #supernerd #illnevergrowup #ishouldbedoingsomethingimportant #DCcomics @gothamhuntress @gothamcity_huntress
#HEART #AnnWilson #NancyWilson #quote “To do rock, you have to marry rock, you have to give yourself to it; you have to really be in it, body and soul.” -Ann Wilson. Ann, now 62 years old, is still single today. I stood by this since I was a kid, that’s why I believe I’ll never marry anyone. I got out of a serious relationship of seven years just because I wasn’t ready to marry, I don’t think I ever will. I know it’s very un-Christian-like for me to say, but I’m still a kid inside. -red. #illnevergrowup #rocknroll #rocker #rockerchicks #rocknrollforever #relationship #dontgiveupyourdream #passion #love #lovemongers #singer #guitarist #seventies #vintage #photograph #musiclovers #concert (at My heart is closed)
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Car broke down last night, had to walk around town all day to find the parts. Then when I found it I didn’t have enough money. Just my luck. At least I got to exercise all those cheeseburgers I consumed. Nothing like the fresh #morning LA #smog. These color schemes are influenced by #TheWalkingDead. I was anticipating to find walkers in this #gloomy morning. -red. #iwalkalone #ihavenofriends #supernerd #illnevergrowup #theloneranger #strugglingmusician #poormusician #idonthavemoney #americanlife (at 60 W Freeway)
#Batman reboot #concept #sketch of #TheRiddler. I imagined him as a #nineties guy, listening to #brit rock music like #Oasis. He’s probably a fan of #WillyWonka too. Purple goggles substitute the mask. Him being a natural #Irish #redhead is a must. This drawing finished by #stpatricksday was coincidental. -#red. #drawingoftheday #artstagram #bestinstagramart #EdwardNigma #enigma #riddle #question #fanart #original #artwork #pencil #supernerd #imnotthatgreat #Gotham #villain (at Gotham City)
