Haven’t been updating too often… Some recent in progress-sers…
…The ongoing Aunty Geraldine!  I can’t wait to finish… Keep pushing it and pushing it, I keep forgetting that I don’t feel the pain, she does… Haha, and I keep telling her, “Come on, I think we can finish tonight!” The would-be session marathon got cut short [...]

And another one… our favorite roomie, DJ Delve, holding it down at 39Hotel… Everyone was booty-dancing their asses off, with guest Dj, friend, Zack… Definitely an awesome change-up to the usual Chinatown shenaniganz!!!  SUPER HANDSOME BOYS!  Cheeee!

Hendricks Team = Win!
Congrats to our beautiful friend Elizabeth Boonark and our new friend Tim Hendricks… Now, Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks.  The wedding was beautiful… hidden little stretch of land and beach, it was a blessed day because with the threat of clouds, it didn’t rain!  And of course, a beautiful blushing bride to finish [...]

Shangri La, the brainchild/heartwork/collection of Doris Duke.
Sexico, Saaj, Lucky and I had the privilege to tour Doris Duke’s personal estate/sanctuary located on a hidden beach side hill somewhere on the perfect side of Diamond Head.  I am not one to cry, but upon entering the main room, I was so overwhelmed that I choked back [...]

It’s Nicole’s 23rd birthday… and I’m sending her birthday wishes from overseas, cause we have been long separated… she’s going to school and living with her hubby in Vegas.  We’ve been childhood best friends since the age of three… love, hate, laugh, cry… we’ve done it all.  I remember water balloon fights on the slip [...]

The Bridal Shower!!!
Elizabeth Boonark, one of our lovely friends, although already married in court, will wed (in a more ceremonial fashion with an awesome reception after!) the love of her life, Tim Hendricks.  So technically… yah, they’re married… BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT!  All weddings are not complete without a BRIDAL SHOWER!!!  It was adorable [...]

Manifest Mania…Puzzling Victor Together (lots of laughs included!)…Covering up Tera’s OG tattoos and discussions about the troubles of BEING Filipino but not LOOKING like one… and Darling Nikki and Mama Mahina: Girls night out ends in wine-induced fun and Formaggio food poisoning…Shitty deals!”

Celebrated my lovers birthday… He celebrated his 8th anniversary of his 21st birthday.  We celebrated with what seemed to be a bachelorette party with all the gag penises everywhere, but everyone was in good spirits and played along.  Manifest and Soul Signature crew… Good friends, good eats, amazing company and sore arms the next day [...]

Kammy… you can’t be finished!  You can’t!  I’ll miss you.  We’re a match made in musical heaven!!!  Don’t leave me!  Haha… Finch!  Be there or be square!
Rox-my-sox… we’re finished with the horse and filigree but we didn’t get to finish up the background.  Rox wasn’t feeling so good but she fucking hung tough even though [...]
