DAILY BLOGGING!

Today I am going to officially update this blog on THE DAILY!! This will help me keep my life and projects organized! :)

I am currently working on a layout for Stewart Title. They are the leading provider of title insurance and related services to the real estate and mortgage industry. Unfortunately a few weeks back someone decided to take all the letters off their building. That's where we come in!

I suggested to her to do individual channel letters which are injection molded plastic cans with an acrylic face. This way we can drill the letters to the wall and its much harder for someone to take off. Hopefully she likes the idea.

Email sent!


Got some business cards in today for KTX Trucking and also STP Truck Plaza. They are glossy 16pt finish. Also, we print all our business cards on 30% recycled paper! :)

KTX Trucking can tranport anything you need! STP Truck Plaza formerly know as Hawk's Truck Stop is under new ownership! They have all your trucking needs at STP.

Also, just now I finally got a call back from the building department over at El Dorado County. It took too long to get this permit for Salon ETC. Tomorrow I can finally get it issued!! Then next week the sign is going up!

Energy to Ancestry

Just hung out on the patio with two of my bestest childhood friends, Terry and Susanne. I think the last time the three of us where together was in Seattle around late June 2009. It's amazing how long we've known each other and how it feels like the good ol' times when we reunite. Truly, my friends are my energy.

Speaking of energy, it has a lot of meaning in this world. We had great discussions about love, careers, futures, politics, energy and ancestry, etc. I guess the most intriguing part for me was the conversations about energy and ancestry.

I personally am not a very religious person. Its Good vs Evil in my book. No matter what religion, they all have similar teachings and morals. I believe its the energy we exert from our hearts and minds that creates our universe. We discussed the element of kung-fu and how that correlates to energy. I mean given enough energy and exercise to your mind, we'd be able to levitate or move things with the energy we exert from our body or spirit. That's why true kung-fu masters can break things with a simple hand movement or hurt someone with a simple touch or slight poke.

We only use no more than 8% of our brain power, thus... in the end, if we only used a few percent more... think of the possibilities. We might even be able to fly. haha Anyhoo.. its late for some deep thoughts like this. But I dont care... that's what blogging is for.

Next we talked about our ancestors and how our ancestors play a role in our life. Some times they are referred to as "ghosts" that watch over or also hold you back from important matters in your life. We all have ancestors from the past which is a beautiful thing. Some have a long history which they can track back while others only know so much about their family decent.

In the end, ancestors that may have had bad previous lives may be whispering thoughts and decisions into your head to warn you of the past experiences they may have had. They dont want you to make the same mistakes as they did. Ancestors also will want to come back to the earth and find their human bodies and live on. They can do show 3 years after their death based on the Dali Lama. Some are anxious for you to have children so they can return to earth and possibly better their new lifetime.

Its amazing that we all come from such deep history. Our veins are pumping with the same blood as someone who lived 1000 years ago. Its so mind boggling! A little part of me is in the history of my family and it flows through me in this lifetime. I may have never met or known them, but they are my ancestors and they flow thru me.

Before I call it a night, I'd like to simply say... please bring forth good energy to the earth as it will find you again either in this lifetime or in another.

Heat Press Experiments

So I've had my heat press for over 6 months and I finally decided to start on some prints. I have tested on standard tshirts for sisters dance crew TKO, baby onesies, and some cute dog tees. I am simply utilizing my Roland Verscamm Printer and using a ESM-HTM2 Heat Transfer Material and a clap heat press to bake the prints onto fabric. Its alot better than screen printing because I can use as many colors as I want. Its also a stretchy material and is suppose to last about 80+ washes! =) So far its been a lot of trail and error, but I do feel more confident about the results! =)

Below are some samples of the heat press experiment:

A) TKO Dance Crew Tshirts for my lil sisters little dance crew at her high school. They are awesome! =)

B) Doggie Tees! My cute lil model Tofu "Handsome Boy" Truong

C) Testing out some baby onesies! I made some for my friends baby showers since everyone seems to be having babies! geebus =P

D) Care Labels Testing on 100% Cotton for Morris & Terry line ::: www.morrisandterry.com



Its amazing all the wonderful feedback I am getting from family and friends! I guess I need to set up a pricing. My goal is to be fair and fresh! hehe Time will come and I will be ready to fully execute. I was just thinking about the possibilities: bags, decor, pillow cases, table clothes, etc...

I plan to move back to midtown/downtown this summer, so I will set up a space where I can have my creative space and elevate! <3

Special Messengers: Reconnecting with Friends

very person that passes through our lives makes a contribution to our life stories. There are those who play large roles and make deep impressions, but sometimes a brief special appearance before life takes them in another direction creates a meaningful connection. It is a rare gift when they suddenly reappear in our lives after a long absence.

Though the world may seem full of more people than we could ever know, we are often drawn to people with similar energy, which brings us together time and time again. On first meeting, the characters in our life stories may seem familiar. We may know each other from past lives or perhaps we merely recognize the energy of a kindred sp
irit. But when fate brings old friends back into our lives, there is always a reason. They may act as messengers, reminding us of a part of ourselves we have forgotten to nurture. They might appear to give us a chance to react in a new way to an old situation. They may even bring up unresolved issues so that we may complete them, giving us the chance to move forward on our life path. Whether old friends, previous romances, or once and future partners, their reappearance is more than mere chance. They may never know what they bring into our lives, but the renewed contact is a gift.

If this hasn’t happened to you, maybe you are meant to initiate contact by seeking out old friends. If old friends come to mind or into your dreams, use their appearance as an excuse to get in touch. If an old song or movie reminds you of them, reach out to share the gift of renewed contact. Wherever you fall in the circle of connection and reconnection, be sure to look beyond the surprise of the moment to enjoy the deeper gift that this revelation brings.

On another note:

I am having the most wonderful and most beautiful day:

-I finally joined the internet phone world of Blackberry Storm!! Get ready for a whole lot of random mobile uploads! =P

-I haven't had a lap top for six months now because its broken in too many ways to name... and I go to Costco with my mom and she suggests that I buy a HP Notebook. I tell her I am broke.. and my mom says that she will buy it for me! Now I am a proud owner of a cute mini black HP ProtectSmart Notebook!! Yay =)

-I'm going to try to
link up with some good networks such as Clear Channel to try to be the one of the main producers for ads on buses, billboards, etc.. Also possibly the Bart for some bus ads or wrap production for Unlimited Boost Mobile campaign (thanks Matt!)

-Professionally feeling knowledgeable and capable!

-I won $1500 to use at
American Laser Centers (haha I randomly entered a contest at the Pacific Rim Festival and I won 1st place!!!)
I wasn't sure what it was, but I have reviewed the website and it looks freaking cool enough. =P www.americanlaser.com


It's about 6:30 Pm now.. I just got off the phone with a friend and he suggests that I go buy me a lotto ticket... Hmm.. OKAY! I'll do it!
