Janna’s Graduation

A few weeks ago I went home to see Janna graduate from San Jose State University (tear, tear… my baby’s all grown up now).  Being the responsible photographer that I am, I brought all my gear home and was ready to shoot up a storm.  Alas, I was outgunned and outmatched by Errol and my dad.  It turned out all good anyway, the both of them did an amazing job documenting the events of the day.  I just wish I would’ve known they would be taking care of business earlier, it would have saved me from carrying all that weight on my shoulder all day!

In any case, I’ve taken the best from the both of them and slapped it into a little slideshow.  Check out Errol’s blog, Confession of a Nerdaholic (great blog name by the way), to see more shots from the day.

You can watch the slideshow embedded below or download a higher quality video (60 MB, zipped .mp4).  Just download the video and unzip it to your desktop.  I’ve also formatted the video so you can add it straight to your iTunes and sync it to your iPod.  Enjoy!

My Kimchi Dream Ride

Many of you have been bugging me for pictures of the schweet ride I use to cruise around Seoul in.  Honestly, I’ve been meaning to, but I couldn’t find the time with all the fun I was having pushing every single one of its 75 hp to the limit.  Man, with all the attention I was getting while driving around town, you’d think I was driving a Ferrari — either that or it could be the sparks coming off my dragging busted muffler.

In any case, by popular demand, the long awaited unveiling of my original edition 1994 Daewoo Cielo in Crinkle Chip-Flake White!!

Now I’m not one to pour salt on the wound, but if that picture above isn’t making you jealous enough, then check out the video below.  And yes, I also pull off power slides and Knight Rider turbo boost jumps in my Cielo.  Hey, “Don’t hate, APPRECIATE!!”

Comida Bizarro

… perro no sé lo que es.  Man, I can’t believe I still remember some Spanish from high school.

Lucy and Danny

In case you’ve never seen it, this is what 30+ 40 years of love and happiness looks like!  We should all hope to be this lucky in our relationships!

Seoul Comic Convention

A few friends and I went down to the Seoul Comic Convention today because we heard there would be some serious Cosplay action going on.  Never heard of Cosplay?  Well, neither had I until today.  It’s short for Comic Roleplay and I guess it’s quite the phenomenon in Asia.  People come to these conventions completely decked out as their favorite anime characters.  Some folks had really good outfits on and probably spent quite some time getting ready for the event.  I wonder how awkward the subway ride would have been for them?

Some of the characters we saw throughout the day:
