This is another photo of my while I was younger. When I was little I always wanted to be a Ninja Turtle, Raphael to be specific. I think it was partially due to the fact that his name was almost like Ralph, or the fact that he was so badass. As you can see I definitely had his Sais as a toy.
Thanksgiving, broken down: Thanks Giving. Today is a day that is celebrated all around the United States as a time for families to get together, share a meal, and spend time with one another. But I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and I really feel that I should be more thankful for what I have, no matter what is going on in my life. We are so blessed, yet I think we forget that most of the time and take many things for granted. I think that we need the spirit behind Thanksgiving throughout the whole year rather than just the third Thursday of November.
This picture is funny, its a picture of me playing in the snow at Mountain High when I was a little kid. As usual I was being silly and sticking my tongue out. Fun times!
This picture is an old one with Abe and myself taking pictures with my cousin Kate and her friends from St. Joseph high school when we all used to hang out and go to LBTC and Cerritos Towne Center and such.
Here is an update on the mustache for November. It seems like it had gotten a little thicker, but the growing of the hair has definitely slowed down for right now.

This is an old picture of me, my sister, and my cousins when we went to Six Flags one year. Pretty funny to see old pictures of me like this. Oh well, feel free to laugh.
Back in 2001 my Ate Arlene had her Debutante Ball with all her family and friends to celebrate her 18th birthday. I as with other family members made up part of her Court of Honor. This is the whole court for her debut in this picture. It was fun and brought me closer to my family, while also allowing me to get to know Ate Michelle more. We never did do that reunion haha.
Back in my last year of high school my friend Joseph and I took a photography class. We were one of the more advanced students in that class so our teacher let us experiment with the studio lights when we had finished our project early. As a subject we used my Gundam Wing models, [...]
So I was at the gym with my friend Krystle and Dustin as we made an impromptu workout session to prepare for brunch on Sunday, and I bump into two old friends from the high school days. I first bumped into Chad then he pointed out that Allen was also there at the gym as well. So with that happening Tuesday, I had to find a picture with them in it for my Throwback Thursday picture.
At Cal State Long Beach there is an annual performance held by the Pilipino American Coalition called Pilipino Cultural Night. It’s a night full of storytelling, dance, and tradition that celebrates the Filipino culture. Back in 2008, I was part of PCN Board which helped plan, organize, and run the annual event for hundreds of people that come each year to watch.
