About Me:
Saturday, August 14th (3am)
Irvine, Toscana
Let me start off by saying I love my twin brother Linh. He's been there for me in his own way for the past 22 years and I can only think of a couple people I have as much fun spending time with. It's eerie while we are both very different people we have so much in common. Growing up we fought constantly, probably fighting for attention and a voice. But as we got older and more mature we realized that even after the fights we were still brothers and we came to accept that.
The past several years I've learned a lot about my brother and we've developed a certain relationship that I cherish. He doesn't open up to me all the time but the few times he does I am thankful for it.
Like when I broke up with my ex several month ago, the one thing he said that was able to cheer me up was a response he made to when I asked him "what he thought of her and us breaking up." He said, "yea I liked her, but I like you more." Simple things like that make me realize why I love my brother.
So last night around 3am we decide to take a walk around my place and smoke a cigar. He's been going through some tough times and I've been growing through lots of changes so it was nice talking about it with someone so close in my life.
The pictures above were just me messing around w/ the black & white feature on my camera. Hope you like them.....
P.S. I added a picture of my brother & I when we were 6 hahahah it's funny after 16 years my brother has the same hair cut (he's the one on the right) =P

Event Recap:
Saturday, August 7th
Highland Park, Helen's BBQ
It started off like a normal bbq.....(Kevin & Mikie)
My friend Helen's parents were out of town to Las Vegas so she decided to throw a bbq. Helen's boyfriend Mikie, one of my best friends, also was going to be there. He's been having a tough couple of weeks so I made sure he had a good time:
Well one of the only ways I know to get someone drunk is to have a couple of drinks myself (i lost count somewhere around 10) and well...... there was a good time for all to be had
Something about being with good friends having no worries and just having a good time is all you need.

Now you can't have a good night of drinking without something crazy happening. What we ended up doing......I wouldn't even have thought I'd have done in a million years....but well, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Anaheim, Angel's Stadium
Section 129 Row K Seat 6. Amazing Seats....
Let me start off by saying I don't really watch baseball. It's hard for me to sit there for 3 hours watching TV and waiting for a guy to hit a ball onlye 3 times out of 10. It's a boring sport to watch on tv but..........being there is an incredible joy. Something about being surrounded by 40,000 people screaming doing the wave, eating hot dogs, drinking beer, & singing "Take me out to the Ball Game" just hit me and I think I understand now why to many this is America's Past Time.
It was a great game to watch and the Angels came out on top 2 to 0.

Irvine, First Direct Mortgage
Today I moved to a bigger office and I have this awesome view and tons of more space. I love where I work and my coworkers are pretty awesome people. Eventhough I'm indoors all day at least I have a cool view. Also, if you notice in the picture on the left is Pepe a puppet one of my coworkers got me while in Mexico.
Some more random pictures of my desk and my cool lava lamp that for some reason all the girls like in the office ;P
hahah and that's the dart board all my coworkers waste their time on. =p

Irvine Dave & Busters/Stanford Court
Started off the night playing some pool w/ my coworker Demanche.
After having a couple of long islands and playing some games at Dave & Busters, I headed back to Megan's place for her birthday party and chilled the rest of the night at Stanford Court. Our little Megan's growing up and just wait, one year from now we're throwing her a kick ass 21st birthday party.

Family Time in Little Saigon
Started off the day spending some quality time with my family and going down to Bolsa to treat my parents and brother to lunch and the funniest thing I took my parents to watch Harold & Kumar go to White Castle.
This movie was hilarious totally recomment it to anyone who likes stupid movies and just wants to laugh.

Party Time - Rowland Heights/Ivar Night Club
This night was probably the highlight of my weekend because I got to celebrate the birthday of two of my closest friends. Liss (Spicy) & Kristine (Tabasco). We started off the night having dinner with about 50 people at Banana Bay.
If you notice in the second picture, Liss is trying to stab me. *she was faded* shhhh don't tell anyone.
Random Pictures at Banana Bay
Afterwards we all headed over to club Ivar in Hollywood. It was a great club, good music, a freestyle battle in the middle of the night, and a goodlucking crowd. Sometimes I feel the clubbing "scene" gets old but when good music is playing I forget all about the weird people around me and just let go.
Pictures with Anne, Jenica, Liss, & the last one is the rest of the group at Ivar.
Final Notes: Life's to short not to have some fun. =P
