DREAM

This is the new Dream 7 poster. Just plain AWESOME! I cant believe Darren fought in a Dream event which was a great fight btw. Man, I miss PRIDE though.

Phinally some Philippine Phictures

Finally pictures* of my trip to Sagunto, Sison, Pangasinan, Philippines and Baguio. Its pretty crazy that I've got to visit my roots within a year time span. Even though I don't know what part of China I am from, I am very grateful to Tracy and Kathy for allowing me to travel with her and her family to her hometown of Harbin. Now my second time to visit the Philippines I have realized how fortunate and good we have it here in the states and should not take things for granted. Anyways here are some pictures.

*Photoshop not used on any of the pictures therefore all natural and therefore some pictures are a little red. Oh I like busting caps, shooting kids, with a camera that is. Arsenal: Panasonic LX2 and Nikon D40.

In Due Time

Still dont have time to put up photos but I do wanna put up at least one for now.

Barkada

So for this trip to the Philippines I wanted to do something a little different other then pictures. Therefore I took some video. I do not have a video camera but thankfully I can record video on my LX2, which is an awesome secondary camera btw. I have no experience whatsoever on editing videos so i just messed with imovie and put together a really quick video of some of the friends I made while I was there.
*EDIT: Higher-Quality video now playing
