Solstice Canyon; a hike to remember.

The first exit from Corral canyon road off of Pacific highway, lay a 3 mile hiking trail that wraps around the Malibu canyon. The August summer had sucked up most of the water that flowed along this river bed. About a hundred yards from the main entrance to the right, lay a steep jagged […]

False Affairs

When i was given the opportunity to co-produce the upcoming feature film “False Affairs” based on a novel written by filmmaker Ian C. Glover, I jumped to the occasion. What interest me about this script is the main character Thomas Finnegan; reminds me of Holden Caulfield from the American classic novel “The Catcher In the […]

The Dog Walker- 4/23/2013

At midday, from behind the concrete square building, a folk lift approached the parking lot. It veered past a 16 wheeler truck by the lumber yard and came towards the front end of the building. Antonio, a middle-aged Hispanic man stood waiting for him. “Do you have the receipt?” he said. “Yes!” Antonio gave him […]

Altered tranquility – 10/12/2012

South east from my location stood the Oppenheimer Tower overlooking the UCLA skyline. On the rooftop above the 4th floor, i sat and numbly watched the grey overcast hovering over me. A gust of wind rattled the beam of the next door building. I felt a distinct sensation, an euphoric moment, like having an Out […]

It’s very simple: Critical Mass VIII – 09/25/2012

Who invented the Pythagorean theorem? The Egyptians did; that’s how they build the pyramid. The greatest contribution that Pythagoras (569-500 B.C.E) gave to society was the fact that he validated the ancient geometric formula; a2+b2=c2 My hero! This past Sunday, my roommate Meesh, Jillian and i attended a Critical Mass event in Los Angeles arranged […]

“Where are you going?” “I’m going where the wind blows!” “You’re not making any sense.” “Define making any sense.” “The wind blows in any direction depend on the constant change in the environment.” “So?…” “So you’re not stable. You’re everywhere. You’re not grounded.” “Why do i have to be grounded? I like my own freedom.” “Freedom […]

Guilty Encounter 3/19/2012

“Let me see that hand.. are you married?” “No! I’m engaged.” “What?” Her eyes locked into mine, then slowly she turned her head away. I was frustrated but at the same time felt myself drawn into her exotic appearance; her bridged nose, chiseled lips, piercing eyes and long, thick straight hair was so alluring that i found […]

Spacing 3/7/2012

I remembered a number of times I’ve held you in my arms. Your soft, tender, petite body temptingly leaning against my chest while your head flexibly layed on my right shoulder as we swayed to the slow Barrington tone from across the street. I am now ovulatingly reminiscing that night. You and I, alone in the middle of Palm avenue in the fog; and then you looked at […]

Battling mother nature during the storm 09/04/2011

There’s a reason why you don’t see surfers out there in the water during a huge storm. That afternoon, I saw a strong back current that eventually formed into a wave. How do you surf a back wave? It was an ugly sight to see. A storm was brewing along the California coast for the past couple of days now. Despite the bad weather, […]

City of Lost Angels 08/24/2011

From the 101 freeway going north, we merged into Hollywood boulevard going west towards the Kodak theater. As we passed Bronson ave, we turned right on Gower Street and made another right on North Beachwood Drive. The drive through Beachwood reminded me of that small wealthy town of the neighboring city where i grew up in; Pleasanton, […]
