I’m leaving on a jet plane… Just wanted to make an official announcement – I’ll be overseas, 13,228km away in the Philippines (&HK) taking care of some family biz and chasing some R&R from the end of May til late June. This means if you’ve got something you wanna make sure is finished for the summer months, holla at me. If you want in on my itinerary in the coming weeks, then you’d better get at me, as spots are diminishing in front of my very eyes.

Here’s a snapshot from my first trip to my motherland in 2003.

You may or may not have remembered me ever mentioning something about my friend Marc and his bamboo longboard company, Booboardz awhile back. Since Booboardz are grown and handmade in the Philippines, he asked me to do more of a Polynesian tribal twist to their logo.

BooBoardz is founded upon using quality bamboo and the decks themselves are “an innovative new product specifically designed For skateboard builders seeking a more environmentally friendly skating option with a sustainable solution.” Definitely sounds like something I could glide with.

Peep the video below from Marc’s brother Rob who’s posted up in Cebu and loving life. The longboarders over there began a movement on Earthday, linking their arms together and keeping the highway traffic at bay. Pretty incredible what a few kids can do.

Live right,

Always,

Throwback Thursday and the temperature in the tdot is 25 degrees. ooowee!

Throwback thursday tune is brought to you by DJ Freeza Chin and his dope warm up show on nasty.fm for Junglist Movement this past March 2nd, while your girl was trippin off the Wu. click here for the mix that is a nice selection of classic reggae and dancehall that has been sampled in ragga and jungle. As a junglist and lover of reggae myself, I’ve blasted this on continuous rotation a dime of times since having it passed along to me only two days ago. The funky at the end is the cherry ontop. Be sure to listen for the track below, official throwback thurstday tune for the Ides of March by Major Notes and Mellody.
