SHE'S BACK.

2010-07-22T21:43:00.003-05:00

She hasn't felt the pavement in about 2 years and today was the first time I took her out for some fine tuning. She has a couple of leaks and some cracked hoses from her being dormant. Anyways, enough of the chitchat! enjoy the pics!

THE MOTHER LAND.

2010-07-22T15:17:00.002-05:00

I was born in Baliwag, Bulacan Philippines, moved to the United States upon birth. I learned the language and even got sent there for a year and a half for... lets not get into that. I grew up in a predominately hispanic neighborhood and with that came the influence of becoming latino. I didn't have many filipino friends until I hit highschool for my junior year, there I experienced my culture. I enjoyed being apart of my kind and soaked up the Fil-am culture. I'm proud of my people.

I don't want to spoil the project so I will let you in on some of our current projects going on. "The Good Life Project will be somewhat of a short film showcasing every element for what SarapBuhay stands for. I guess itll all make sense once the project is kicked off... I got together with Danny LA, Bryson Reno and Nasty Nate to discuss this future project, looks like we are all on the same page! These guys have been working hard to put something out worthy for all of us to enjoy. So Stay tuned for the teaser.

RAW TALENT TUESDAY.

2010-07-20T08:12:00.004-05:00

There is so much talent out there that never gets the right or enough recognition. I'm always inspired when ever I run into talent that is groomed or all natural. Take the time to listen to this cover of Unthinkable- Alicia keys by Jane Rio.

MIKE LIMESTRO.

2010-07-19T21:51:00.002-05:00

Limer aka Mike has been a long life friend of mine. I still remember the first day I met him... He thought we were a bunch of FOBS because we were speaking taglish ( Tagalog and English) and we all spoke tagalog but born and raised in California hahah! Since then we grew close and till this day we act Gago (stupid) in our early mid 30's. Anyways, peep some of his video work of HASL x ZODAK x BRISK legal bombing. Good work Brother.

IMPERIAL.

2010-07-12T19:43:00.003-05:00

A car club out of the State of WASHINGTON called IMPERIAL has been showing up at local shows from HellaFlush to One of One shows.

Imperial started about 2 years ago. At first it was just a bunch of people who shared similar interests. Now, it has grown to becoming more then just a group people who wanted to form a car club. They have established close friendships and are now more like a family then anything else. The crew consists mostly of Lexus cars, considering all of us who intially started the crew came from Clublexus.com. but they have branched out and also include more tuner style cars as well.

Mark Bello with the TC on SSR's who recently was HellaFLushed Approved sent me the following pictures, peep some of the cars.

LUMIX DMC-GF1

2010-07-12T09:05:00.004-05:00

Lately I've been in the market for a new camera. A camera I can whip out and just shoot and not add more neck muscles from carrying a 1000lb SLR, I'm exaggerating but at times thats how it feels. So after long months of research I have made the decision of picking up the LUMIX DMC-GF1. Don't get it twisted, I will still be shooting with a SLR for more serious photo work but this little machine here does damage. Stay tuned for more updates on the new equipment.

Peep the GF1 HD Video quality

That is directly from NICEKICKS Matt himself.

The posse and I rolled up North to Austin to hang out and check out some of the latest shoe releases. I was able to chat with Matt and discuss the trend and the market of Texas when it comes to fashion and shoe culture. We both agreed there are areas that may need improvement but overall Texas is on its way. I talked about the market in San Antonio which is my neck of the woods and it does need some beefing up but there is a core crowd that are dedicated to the fashion and shoe culture. Ones who know the history of each shoe that released. NiceKicks had an overall warm welcoming feeling to anyone who stepped in alot of knowledgeable sneaker heads there to educate you. I want to thank Matt for taking the time to hang out and chat I had a great experience at Nicekicks and also, thank you for the goodies! So if you are in the Austin Area visit NiceKicks at 2815 Guadalupe Street, Austin, TX‎ - (512) 320-8100‎

HELLAFLUSH x STANCEWORKS / 512 PROJECT

2010-06-27T16:35:00.008-05:00

I have to say I was really stoked for this event because I was going to be able to be in the midst of a car culture that is home away from home. Being at the event made me feel like I was back home in CA again, around good folks, nice cars and creative people. I was able to hang out with Mark Arcenal from FATLACE and chop it up a few about the growing culture here in TX. HIs first question was, "Why did you move out here, it's so HOT!?" We were all in the shade but yet dripping with sweat. Though we got to the event around 3ish there were still dope cars posted up, alot of folks took off around 2-3 due to the blistering heat. Another plus to the meet was, John P from MADAY GARAGE hooked us up with mad stickers and Mark shot me a tee, a LTD TX HELLAFLUSH tee to be exact. Thanks for coming to Texas and showing love! I definitely left the meet inspired and ready to push new things out for SARAPBUHAY.

side note:
I got to austin pulled out my camera... NO SD CARD. fail. So the following pics are Nate Meno's and Frados cam. thanks for shooting bro!
