Its been quite a few years since i’ve gone back to yosemite.  i believe the last time i was there i was weighing in a whopping 120lbs. just for kicks, here’s the pic from THAT time.  can you guess which skinny kid is me?

well, i finally had the chance to go back with a few friends of mine this past weekend.  the experience this time was different from the first but it was still fun and very memorable.  i think i laughed so much on this trip my face almost cracked!  below is a group picture of the group that i was able to share the experience with.   i have taken a few photos on the trip and have posted in the album section.  there were 3 other photographers on the trip and i will post links to their albums as soon as i get them.

here’s benedicts album, link1 and link2

Some of my friends think they are the Young and Dangerous so Mr. Andrew Le tried to capture some images that resembles like the gang in the movie.

Please check out the rest of the photos by clicking on the image below.

hello folks. got to take a trip with nancy this past week to cancun for our first time. id have to say that it was beautiful with the nice fine white sand and clear blue warm waters. the vacation hotspot is a very affordable one for anyone that maybe interested in going for their first time. the pictures are posted in my album and follow the captions to get a clue of what’s going on in the picture.

i finished off the week by heading to vegas for elvis’ birthday bash. what a great weekend but damn, a very long one also.

Meet Raitt, he is a new friend of mine. I found him last week on fifth and raitt street when he was running around in the middle of the intersection. He looked lost, had no tags and was in very bad condition. Nancy and I decided to take him in and clean him up. It’s been over a week now and I think we have decided that we will keep him. I don’t think Raitt has a previous owner but if he does, the owner kept him in VERY bad condition. I’m sure he will be in better care with nancy and i.

From the looks of it, i think Raitt is a breed of the Shih-Tzu family. Let me know what you think.

I’ve been back for about a week now and finally found the time to post the pictures from my Brazil trip. I was able to visit three different cities with seven of my good friends. the scale of activities were ranging from the city life to the great wilderness of the amazon. the photos below are clickable and should bring you to the album associated with the city.

my first night in brazil was in Sao Paulo. only hieu and i decided to stay a night in the city to see how the life is like there. we did a bit of clubbing, eating and drank with the locals in a bloco party. the experience was fun but i will not recommend this city to anyone. just fly directly into rio and skip sao paulo.

Rio de Janeiro is the city to be at! this place is the party central of brazil. we were able to find a party at every corner in around copacabana and ipanema. i was finally able to witness the carnival in rio. the pictures can only show so much. i would recommend everyone to come to rio for the carnival.

the amazon rain forest was my last destination in brazil. this experience has got to be one of my top five. we were able to do some piranha fishing, cayman hunting, some jungle trekking and many more not listed. please view the photos to see what i’m talking about.

Yes, folks, in roughly 3 months I’ll be joining a few friends of mine and we’re heading to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the carnival.  I’m pretty damn excited about this trip because I’ve seen it many times on TV and hear many crazy things about it.  Finally I’ll get to be in this grand party.  Let me know if any of you guys plan to be there also.  Maybe we can meet up!

Yes folks, I got a dirt bike earlier this week. I’m not planning on killing myself but this should be a fun sport. Let me know if any of you guys are down to ride. If you’re curious about the specs on my bike, please click here

I’m back from my short 2 week trip to Hong Kong, Macau and Vietnam. My visit to Hong Kong and Macau was everything I have expected but Vietnam was definitely an experience I will never forget. I’m sure more appreciative of what i have here in the states. In Vietnam I was able to visit Da Lat, Vung Tau, Thu Duc and Saigon. Due to the Typhoon Lekima, I wasn’t able to visit Hue or Ha Noi because the cities were still flooded. Please check out my photo album to see pictures from the trip.

I finally have the time to do my first blog from the other side of the world. I’ve been here for the last 3 days and getting used to this hot and humid weather. The jet lag is pretty bad but I think my body is finally adjusting. I think we are averaging about 4 hours of sleep a day from all the partying. I’m super tired right now so I’m too lazy to get into detail of all the things I’ve done. Lets just say, the girls here in Hong Kong are not that attractive but they seem to be very wealthy. Also, the food here is spectacular so far. We’ve had no complaints from all the random restaurants we tried. I think this will be it for now. Tomorrow, wednesday, we will be heading out to Saigon. I’m sure there will be plenty of internet cafes i can blog from. Catch you then!
