listening to: Dynamite by Jamiroqaui

re-living the spirit of Canned Heat and Cosmic girl, i am truely enjoying Jamiroqaui's latest cd. the blend of disco, techno funk and dance style gives me a certain high that i actually caught myself jamming and bobbing my head while i listened to the cd at work. favorite track - it's a toss up between seven days in sunny june and time won't wait. the cd name best describes it - dynamite!


currently reading: Home Bound - Filipino American Lives Across Cultures, Communities and Countries by Yen Li Espiritu

while this book is loaded with big words (i.e. transnationlism, annexation, etc.), the author's attempt to define the present "filipino immigrant" by looking into the extensive history of the filipino-american relations, is most certainly engaging. the book is giving me a good overview on how my concept of the 'american dream' evolved from an almost imaginary "mind set" to an actual "living it". the definitions of 'home' from an immigrant's perspective is another topic that i'm particularly interested in.

latest purchase: Braun rechargeable electronic shaver
i'm broke but i gotta have it. so i amex'd that shit! being the semi-klutz that i am, using a razor just isn't my thing! so before i bleed to death in a futile attempt to achieve a clean shave, i decided that an electronic shaver may just be the solution to my problem.

peace!
