Winter days in Los Angeles never consist of snow. One of the closest places for me to see snow is Big Bear, California. I still remember the first time I saw and felt snow.

I have great childhood memories of watching Dragon Ball Z with my brother Mike. Recently, he revived his Dragon Ball fan website secretsaiyan.com that he founded on 2002 and ran…

Twenty-Six

IMG_0150

Yesterday I turned twenty-six. I had the opportunity of spending both New Year’s and my birthday in New York City. This was my second time visiting this amazing city. Initially before departing from LAX, I thought I would most likely be spending the countdown for 2016 in Times Square. After talking to a couple of locals in NYC, there was a change of mind.
