HI GUYS!!!

OOHH MYYY GOOODDD....Almost 7 years later!!!!

I must say I almost forgot that I have a blog here. It's really nice to have something to look back to and read on though! The reason why I came back is cause I was trying to look for an old picture of Leen and I to post on IG for her birthday for #fbf. Also to commemorate how long we've know each other. All I can say is...this blog totally gave me that melancholy-nostalgic feeling.

Let's see...obviously, lots of things happened after almost 7 years. I'm going to just provide a big life strokes that happened - as far as my memory & heart serves me (this is in no particular order):

• Came out to both my dad and my brother (2012) 
• Bought a place & adulting real hard, being a homeowner (2014)
• Adopted the best dog ever (2014)
• Moved to the Bay area and got that Silicon Valley job (2016)
• Got engaged with Keith (2017)

I know for sure that there are many more moments to be cherished but that's what I remember for now. Also, there are many things that I would like to continue working on as I continue this so-called life. 

Anywaaaaay, just wanted to give a quick update. More to come. 

PS: Happy New Year 2018!

One And Only

I really dig this song...so brave yet so vulnerable...

So I was bored and created this...

Angel

I've been kind of in a funk lately. No major cause...though to over-think a little bit, I'm about to turn 29, my last twenties before my age starts with the number "3" and maybe it's affecting me subconsciously...I'm not afraid of getting old, I'm just afraid I stop growing as a person...there's really no point of living when you don't grow to be better day by day. At least that's how I want to live, ideally...

Then today happened =)

3 days before my actual birthday, I get to hang out with one of the most important people in my life: Calie, my niece. She brings the kid inside of me, where I can just be myself and be nothing but just pure and fun...yet she also brings the adult in me who makes me strive to be one of her role models besides her parents.

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific and spent some time just the two of us...at one point, this 5 year old asked me what the word "angel" means...I had to stop and think for a little bit before I answered. I told her angels are people who take care of us and protect us...she then asked..how do they protect us if we can't see them...I told her,"They protect us from doing bad things..like when you are doing nice things...something inside you tells you to be nice..sometimes, angels tell you to remind you."

Yes, corny and I made it up somehow...but that's what I think angels do. In my world.

She has her ways to just lift my spirit up...the random "I love yous" when she was ice skating, chewing her food, when I was driving, or while she was hugging me; made me melt a little bit inside...words cannot express how lucky I am to have a niece like you...I swear you taught me a lot about love and life. =)

I should've corrected her when she assumed we can't see angels...cause I can definitely see one of mine =) can't wait for our next date!

I found someone better...

I love you but I am moving to tumblr...follow me...

Time is my homie...it got my back

This is just a good reminder to me that timing is everything...some may see me as the kinda guy who sits and waits for someone to come along...Little do they know, I, too, did my share on pursuing love...So i pursued this person back in March-ish...

Had this one worked out, I wouldn't have found the one who's actually for me. So, thanks, time! Funny how you work everything out for me. Good looking out :)

Love,

Me

I love you

Hi! Sorry I've been slacking...I noticed that I only write when I'm emo...no bueno! But here's something I'd like to share in light of this weekend.

It gets better everyday :)
