More Summer Fun '07

So my family and I were at the beaches last Monday. Man, that was awesome. It was sunny, opened sky with a slight cool breeze.. we couldn't have asked for a perfect weather that day. I kinda felt like I was back in the Philippines again, the difference being that we're swimming on a freshwater lake and the heat was a lot more bearable. No nasty-sharp barnacle shells here. Although it would've been cool to see little crabs crawl in and out of the sand bank holes. Back home my siblings and I had so much fun trying to catching those little critters.

We brought along our portable BBQ grill and what's summer without one, haha. We had our iPod boombox playing in the background and my Dad really enjoyed being the BBQ chef for that day. Specially when most of the tracks playing were his collections, lol.

Well we'll definitely be going to this place again next year. Maybe I'll bring a pail bucket and sand sculpting tools.. :D








I've posted some pics from Canada's Wonderland as well so enjoy!

Best of both Worlds

Our Taats School is starting soon! Just last week we reached our 3 years anniversary at TAATS and man have we come a long way. Going from the temporary tattoos back in the summer of 2004, to airbrushing, to actual permanent tattoing..and now our very own location where we can teach and continue providing our tattooing services.

I love my job!,hehe. Not only I get to apply my art on people but fortunate enough to be working with companies such as Hasbro and Mattel. Best of both worlds. I'm proud to say I love working and running my business while working with the big boys. Besides it's a great feeling knowing that you're getting paid for what you've worked hard for.

Work hard but work smarter. Heck, I've learned my lessons, lol.

Summer 2007

Wow time is flying by fast. It's been a while since I've updated this blog. Sorry cousins and peeps. The last few months have been hectic, tough and fun busy. Summer is finally here and it's going to get even more nuts, lol.








I haven't posted any images here in a while so here's something fun and cool. Yep, I'm a big Transformer nerd!, hehe. Maybe someday I'll build and sculpt one of these guys. Ey why not it'll be fun.

Also here's just some of the airbrushing work I do and a teaser cover for one of the projects I have on hand. Enjoy!

Hooked on Facebook

I'm now totally addicted to the Facebook.com site! , lol. I say it's way better than Myspace or any type of networking sites out there right now. It's the fact that there are so many people I'm starting to reconnect with going back as far from my elementary years, high school, and so forth. It's great to see soo many familiar faces and find out what they're doing now. Most I've noticed have become parents now, hehe, started their own business or work at a big company, some are working with the government, lawyers, accountants, actors, pretty much all aspects of the entertainment biz, one even has become a Professional Investor and Philanthropist! Say wha?..lol, Way to go buddy.

Like I said, this is going to be one interesting, fun year. Things are about to get pimped out, organized and run properly. Woohoo!

*My tip for those about to venture on your own or thinking of starting their own business..-Keep records of your work, notes, emails and receipts, 'coz ya never know, lol.

Philippines 2007

*Whew! It's deng hot in here..but I'm luvin it!. Well I've been here in my home and native land for about a week now, and man a lot has changed. It's so nice to be in a different setting once in a while. Even with the warm weather, I prefer this kind of heat compared to the ones we get in Canada. Here there's plenty of cool breeze and just chillin on the hammock or sitting by the shades is the best feeling. Wow I miss this place.

I've been taking pics almost everyday. Which means there's a whole bunch of pics to upload, and for those relatives who stayed behind to see online. I gave my mom and sister my old digital cameras so there's more set of pics there as well.

Right now we've been staying mostly at my birth town of Tarlac, Aguso. Most of my relatives on my Dads side of the family (of my Grandfather) are from here. There's a big festival coming up on the 19th and we'll finally be in it to celebrate!

The next day we'll be going to another relative’s town. One family from Hawaii is also there in vacation...Woohoo!! I haven't seen these Aunts in years...hookups baby! We visited them just last night actually for dinner. I told them that's my next spot to visit :D..Sweet.

Alrights, that's my entry here for now. Enjoy the pics!

2007 here we go!

The 2nd wedding of the year has come and gone. This time it was one of my elder cousins, Liza.

She lives in LA as well as her now husband. Since they both have familes here they decided to have the wedding in Toronto. The painting on the left is my gift to both of them. Looks like I'll be commissioned to do more portraitures like these this year. I have another cousin named Bienvenido who's going to get married this Fall...woa yeah!

In two weeks I'm off for my vacation in the Philippines! It's been almost 6 years since my last visit and man this one is going to be a lot more fun considering my family and I will be staying for about a month. My folks will likely stay a lil longer. I'll definitely be taking a lot of pictures and videos while I'm there. So Bam! Frig this winter cold haha :P


Well well well what do we have here...A Shocking blast from the past..former Shockmates reunite! From left-to-right; Push20, Lebo, Crozonia, Khan, Surge, and MaSaMa. (The Z-Man and Ghostrider Mirk will be joinin' the jamboree soon enuff). It was 10 years ago indeed that this crew was together like this and this was and will always be the original crew.

One thing for sure, this year is going to be very exciting and interesting..

Back from Houston! Next Philippines! Soon enough :Japan, China, Hawaii and Europe..booyahshakawah!

Houston Trip 2007

This weekend flew by so fast. My cousin's wedding has come and gone and now we're preparing to head back home in T.O.

Ellen & Sam's wedding has to be the most grandest wedding so far I've ever attended or at least the biggest one so far I think from both familes. I don't think the pictures won't do any justice. The location and venue they picked was amazing and the weather was wedding perfect.

Well there's another big wedding event happening about a month from now (cousin Liza's and fiance Ohmid) and it'll take place in Toronto. Hopefully most of my cousins from the states will be there as well.

Alrighty, that's mah blog fo now. I'll see y'all!
