Trip Update

Damn. The trip is off the hook so far. I've done so many things and they are all dope do i'm just gna list the highlights and comment (in no particular order).

1. Golf- played my first 2 rounds of 2010 (P4 Charity Golf Tournament was a scramble so I couldn't really keep my own score) and I played pretty decently. I fired a 78 and 76 so far in the Philippines, Both at Eagle Ridge (Dye and Aoki courses). Eagle Ridge is a dope spot cuz I remember being there almost every weekend as a kid playing golf with the fam.

2. Lulugayan Falls, Calbiga Samar- Wow. Epic. Water. Falls. Jump. All that and really, a great weekend with the Quimbo side of the family. I feel great being able to reconnect with cousins and even meet distant relatives who are dope.

3. Grandma's 90th Party- This actually happened the night I touched down a week ago. Great food, got to see lots of people. That whole day was filled up and it was pretty much a culture shock seeing everything after 5 years. Somethings changed, some stayed the same, but it was just a real trip to me.

4. Attica, Saturday night 7/10/10- This was epic. I was really diggin the vibe here. Great music, good drinks, great company. I judge how epic nights are depending on how the post drinking food trip is. Walking to Shakey's in Makati Ave while hammered with the cousins and friends was reminiscent of so many classic nights... except this was in the homeland with a different set of people.

5. Mall Tour 7/9/10 (Trinoma, Ayala SM, Glorietta, Greenbelt, Rockwell)- Shopping in the P.I. is great because of 2 things. 1, I actually feel good going to the local labels and making a purchase (Bench, Penshoppe, Memo, Team Manila, etc.). The shit they sell is pretty nice and I feel like i'm pitching in to the local economy. 2, On the other hand, there are a lot of nice shops here that aren't even in the States, or atleast in Cali. I got my Topman fix and there are a bunch of other places I look forward to browsing in the next week.

Homecoming

I'm back blogworld... after a full year hiatus. Took some time to go up in life, last year in Europe... back down for Disconnected 2k9 and up ever since Reconnected 2k10. If you know me close then you already know. If not, maybe i'll trickle in some details in upcoming posts.

Anyways, today I will be flying out of SFO to Manila, Philippines (hence the childhood pic). It will be my first time back since summer 2005. Armed with a Canon Rebel T1, my goal is to recapture my childhood through pictures. I'll put the highlights on the blog.

As far as life, in case you didn't know... I'm killin it right now. But I do plan on reflecting on what I have gone through, where I am and where I'm about to go.
