2009 In Retrospect

This has been a super long time coming, and I've had so many people ask me about it...

...so this is the start of my blog. And what better way to start this off, than by saying good-bye to 2009? I know, I know...I'm past due.

1. Alli, me, Seor, and Gloria in front of Myer's & Chang in the South end 2. KASA dancers at NU Barkada's Bahay Kubo 3. I left my heart in San Francisco---Hearts of SF statue in Pacific Heights 4. SF Dinner filled with laughter (the Boston fam came to my hometown, SF!!!) 5. KAC + Jaime dancing their hearts out--SF fam meets Boston fam!! 6. The famjam @ the GG Bridge 7. Nikki, me and Jaime @ a club in SF during their visit

1. The source of all my summer inspirations--NYC 2. 5 Points-Queens ((AMAZING Graffiti)) 3. Black and white of Williamsburg, Brooklyn I took as part of a project I was working on 5. Grey Dog's Cafe @ 12th & University ((best little hole in the wall cafe)) 5. C. Do, Mel, and me starting off the night before Jaime & Martin's (Martin!! one of the reasons I spent NYC in the summer...) birthday party in the city 6. My brand project, Paisley Madison 7. Ode to Warhol--my own version of a classic, using images from the Coney Island boardwalk for my Coney Island Poster project 8. My first trip to Coney Island, NY with some classmates and some of the most creative people ((thanks for the memories girls!)) 9. Mae + I at Jaime&Martin's B-day party...she also came to see my work during our final show case!!! love u mae!

I don't have a a lot of pictures from Fall '09 but I think the memories from the first 2/3 of the year are enough to last me a life time...

There's a lot for me to look forward to in 2010, and I'm excited for what's to come...

On a side note, I guess it is kind of fitting that I'm posting this now, seeing as how it's the start of the new lunar new year, and it is so happens to be the year of my zodiac, the tiger.

So to all of you who are enjoying your fattening wallets, Happy New Year!!
