merry gradu-birthday jess hirano!

Jess Hirano, a dear friend of mine, turned 21 this past weekend.  She's graduating next week (completed undergraduate in 3.5 years).  AND...its the Christmas season.  How do we celebrate all these great things?  Disneyland California Adventure Park...or the D-CAP.  Here is a video blog that shows all of our fun moments.  

vake's first thanksgiving

I spent this long thanksgiving weekend up in Santa Rosa.  It was great to hang out with Suko, Brandon, Ema, Aunty Leona, and Vake-boy.  I'm very thankful for all of them.  Hope you enjoy watching this video blog!  And lets keep Suko, Brandon, and Vake in our prayers as they embark on a crazy journey to Arizona!

I am so incredibly happy for Suko and Brandon and their amazing new son, Tavake Yaichi Bourbeau (aka vake-boy).  Ever since he was born, Kat and I have been so anxious to finally meet him.  We finally got that chance, taking a long 4-day weekend vacation to Santa Rosa.  Along with finally meeting vake-boy, this long awaited reunion included great moments of laughter, catch up, skyping, and delicious food.  I'm glad I got to record most of these moments.  Enjoy the video blog!

exploring

Kelsie and I set out to explore the different attractions that Los Angeles has to offer.  We found the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Griffith Observatory, and the Norton Simon Museum.

4th of july weekend

For the 4th of July and my birthday weekend, I drove up to Northern California to visit my best friend Suko.  Me, my friend Aaron, and Suko's sister Ema made the trek up to Santa Rosa.  We recorded the entire adventure.  Hope you enjoy this video blog!

introduction: first blog

Hello everyone!  This is my first post!

I always found it odd to blog.  It just feels strange to write about myself or to "readers" about my thoughts.  I'll get over it soon enough.  After a good amount of time spent following great channels on youtube, I have found myself also interested in making videos of the "fun" stuff that I do.  This blog is to hopefully show you (1 maybe 2 people) all of that fun.  There may be an occasional random blog here and there.

Anyways, my hope is that this blog will provide some sort of entertainment.  And I realize that I didn't speak too much about myself, but you will probably learn about me through my posts.

I hope that you will continue to follow!
