My brother received his first child yesterday, a girl. I drove 4 hours to get to see baby Lily for the first time. She’s a very quiet baby (at least for now); didn’t cry once while we were there, at least until it was feeding time. I can’t wait to spoil this child!

Lily’s yawning here, not crying:

Here’s Lily with her mom:

Happy New Year, everyone!

At last, I’ve finished my gallery. It’s finally up-to-date will all my photos I’ve taken since I’ve started taking an interest in photography. There’s a bunch more that aren’t on the site, but those I haven’t edited for posting anyway.

Anyway, I’m bored and decided to plug the gallery again. Ciao!

Here’s what I got for Christmas, in no particular order:
(in the tune of “The 12 Days of Christmas”)

On the final day of Christmas, everyone gave to me…

A Sony Ericsson cellphone,
A dartboard set with cabinet,
Prince of Persia videogame,
A Macy’s shopping gift card,
A warm blue fleece sweater

A hundred-fifty in cash…

DCFD shirt
Brown and white sweater
Red pajamas
And a pair of Sponge Bob boxers.

The world’s beating down on me. But I don’t care. It’s Sunday, and I’m relaxing. I didn’t worry about school or money or anything. I just went on my own agenda.

Saturday I built my bookstand. It’s a nice, small bookstand that fit PERFECTLY into my bedroom environment. It matches perfectly with the wood colors of all the furniture. Thanks Ikea! The underside of my bed looks so much more organized now, as well as the side of my desk. See?

Today I also worked on another DIY project. For some reason I was in the mood to make a daimyo flag. The only ones I could Google up had small image sizes, so I had to photoshop one from scratch. I don’t remember the words at the top of mine, but I think it said ‘lantern’. The big dot in the bottom is supposed to represent the sun in Japan’s national flag, and I found those neat yin-yang-type things from a historical daimyo flag. I got the wood from El Corral, which was actually extra wood from my other project, the ninja sword display stand (work in progress). It’s made from photo paper, so I had to take a picture at an angle to avoid glare. What do you think?

So all I need to do now is get some real superglue (not this Staples-brand crap that can’t superglue wood)…and maybe do my physics homework.

Oh, one more pic. Here’s me in my costume from this year. I don’t have a name for my twin there, but I just call him “The Evil Rubber Ducky”.

Wow! I can’t believe I already surpassed the 100 post mark in my blog! Looks like my autobiography “Hell’s Chewbacca” will be quite long now. Hurrah!

Okay. I’m trying Tripod to host the movie, but I don’t know how long it’ll last.

Cast: Jeff Garzona – guy with glasses. The bad guy
Jason Ozaeta – me, guy with polo shirt. Jeffrey’s friend
Jeffrey Dela Cruz – guy with sweater. The guy.

Context: Imperial is Mr. Imperial, a former administrator at our school. He’s very tall.
