My cousin Jodree got married. It was swell. I wasn't the official photographer, so i didn't go crazy on pics. Met mad family and had swell food. Filipino food + Italian food = The HEAT. One of the best buffets ever. The wedding was themed "Across the Universe" meaning that every table was named after a beatles song. Tons of fun. Pics:

_FilAm Expo.
The only reason I did this was because they were paying me to take crappy photos. I wasn't really into it so I just brought one lens. sadly, I lost my flash diffuser here =[. Stupid bagtit technology. I did get to use a guy's D3 today. Holy Cow! it was amazing, it truly is a what you see is what you get effect. Plus it is a full frame SLR or FX meaning it gets mad coverage like the 35mm films. I some people got kawawa'd some got int3rlud3'd. Passed out mad cars to so called "celebrities. The line up wasn't really good this year, but the Fil-Universe queens were smokin. The ones over 18 that is.

_3on3 Tournament.
I left to get some fresh air as well as check out some kicks, but I heard this crazy noise so I had to investigate. It appears that the Lakers were holding a 3 on 3 tournament in front of the nokia theatre for amateurs. WTF! I bailed on the expo and went here instead. There were mad crowds, but I managed to get through. It was the championships right after the game I arrived for.

_Signaling Those Hills.
I took out a special someone with me to watch the sunset over Long Beach/Cerritos/Lakewood/???/etc/areas surrounding signal hill. He had coffee afterwards. It was nice, but the place is too much of a makeout spot. So annoying. I kept it PG, because I was more concerned with shooting pictures and lending her my jacket so she wouldn't get cold.
