How do you start something?
It's always the beginning. Because a journey does not start without the first step.
It was a happy childhood filled with so much memories. My father was the man and had alot of ideas. We even had horses at one point. But he tired of them and decided to sell them all.
This was my younger brothers' birthday. We had our friends and family over for the children's' birthday party. I'm the fat one on the left with the blue striped polo shirt.
With my older siblings and older cousins added in another photo. This was in the early 1980's.
That seems like an age away. I often hear people say it was just like yesterday. I don't feel that way. I think its because I have done lots of things in life that I can honestly say has had some impact on my thinking.
Immigrated to Australia in the late 1980s'.
Twelve years of age and looking like a China man in a bull shop. I felt like I was on top of carpeted world.

Years have passed and I have just left high school. I did not graduate. I was too busy partying and just being a little menace to society. I did however get to save some money and ended up back in the Philippines. This was in Catarman, Samar. Two days before Christmas day.
I think from here I had no more photos that I have kept with me since I was just busy living and I did not have the money or the effort to get a camera. Maybe. Or they are too embarrassing LOL.
But honesty most of my pictures are not digital so I have not had the motivation to transform them digitally, one day....
The time when I started to grow my hair long.
At my Cambodian friends' wedding. The guy in the suit is not the groom. The groom is in the toilet spewing up because us three made sure he was smashed.
Then I find myself in Japan for a little trip
Kyoto to be precise.
Random people on the bus I was travelling with.
To complete the look you got to have a Tori gate behind you in a picture.
Had to pose with two Mauritian hard arses. These guys were so cool to watch. For context it was an international gathering of traditional Japanese martial arts practitioners at the butokuden in Kyoto.
Back home.
This was me when I just arrived back from Japan.
Winter time outing to with the family to the marine park. My hair was still long. Getting itchy though
So I got it cut. Whoa.
Then went to Vanuatu to visit my sister.
Just having a wholesome family time at home.
Then a camping trip with my friend.
This was in Belanglo state forest.
Followed by a quick training visit by a friend.
Christmas 2009!
Celebrating jungle asian style.
The one time my son came for a visit.
I hope this fish doesn't sue me for harassment.
The year 2013.
Another victim! HAHAHAHA
Alright! Back to Japan with the family this time.
I think she can't get enough ramen.
Tokyo Disneyland.
I linked the parade above, unsure if it still has audio because of the music playing in the parade.
At an Eddie Bravo seminar that same year.
Whoa he's grown.
Another holiday back in the Philippines. 2017.
At Kawasan falls.
My younger one did not enjoy the ride under the water falls, but my mum enjoyed it with the rest of us.
Lunch at my mums house.
I hope you have enjoyed my trip down memory lane. It is but a snippet of my life. These were all once on Facebook but since I deleted my account there and I am starting to run out of storage space on my computer and cloud I think it would be good for me that I store them somewhere where I can access them in case my storage crashes and dies on me.
I apologise for not having enough descriptions in between the pictures but I think you are able to follow along my journey.
Thanks for your time
Nice man, this was really cool to read and follow. You've lived an interesting and fun life so far. Looking forward to seeing the continuation!
Cheers. I am sure everyone has lived a life full of whatever they can. I can just try to slow down LOL
