What am I thankful for?
"Thank you for direct-port nitrous injection, four-core intercoolers, ball-bearing turbos, and titanium valve springs." -- Jesse from The Fast and the Furious
I think I make a blog post about this every year, and well...it's that time again, so here we go. I'm thankful for...
...my family. I love my family very much. This year I've had almost a reawakening of how much my family means to me and how much they play a role in my life. A lot of this reawakening is thanks to my brother after his family's visit with us last August. It's not just my immediate or extended family either...it's the family of being of Filipino descent and the culture that's been passed down from generation to generation. Our Filipino ways have molded the way I am today, and the way I see the world as well. That isn't to say that growing up here in the United States hasn't shaped me either, just that being raised Filipino gives me a unique perspective that most other people can't really relate with.
...my friends, particularly the regular barcada that I hang with most of the time: Wence, Gabe, Hubert, Carlos, Kyle, Edelmar, Eugene, Alex, Sasha, Derrick, Ryan, and Nicoli. These guys are some of the best friends anyone could ask for. As much as they like to make me feel old all the time, they make me feel young at the same time.
...Garret, Dan, Wayde, Jeff, Esther, and everyone involved with World One that makes this an awesome place to work. Despite the hard times that the industry has been facing lately, it's my faith and friendships with my co-workers that keeps me optimistic about everything.
...Project One, the best car club and fellow car enthusiasts around. You guys really are the best, I wouldn't ask for any other different teammates to be friends with.
...Josh, Ryan, and anyone else associated with my photography. Even to this day they serve as a sort of inspiration and motivation to keep shooting and learning.
...Rock Band and Rock Band 2, for expanding my musical tastes and horizons. I don't think I'd be listening to Rush at all if it wasn't for Rock Band!
...Blue Scholars, who put on the absolute best performance at the Sasquatch Music Festival and being a voice that I can very much relate with thanks to our shared heritage and upbringing.
...The Cure, for finally putting out their bast album since 1992's "Wish." It's about damn time.
...Kristen Bell who plays "Elle" on "Heroes." I just think she's hot...haha
...Mary Ann and JayR for having such a CUTE baby!
I think that just about covers the main stuff. If I end up thinking of more, I'll post up for sure.
