Jason proposed to Hannah at USC

When Jason asked me to be his groomsmen, I was honored. He made me feel like I am doing something right with my life.

As for proposing to his sweet girlfriend, Hannah (also my friend), he had pretty sweet plan.

Jason met Hannah at their school, University of Southern California, so he was planning to propose at the same spot where he met her for the first time.

Some of the bridal party members were hiding in a parking structure, waiting for the couple to come by. When Jason got on his knee and showed Hannah the BLING*** she said 'YES!'.

Then we all stormed out yelling and screaming!

Congratulation Jason and Hannah!

Anthony proposes to Sylvia on Valentine's Day~

Anthony and Sylvia were already planning to get married. When the valentine's day was coming around the corner, Anthony asked me for a surprise photo shoot session.

He planned everything to propose to Sylvia during sunset at Santa Monica beach. I came out of nowhere to surprise Sylvia and took few snaps as if I was just there to 'document' their valentine's day date.

Little did she know, Anthony hid a RING in one of the gifts and went down on his knee.

She said YES!!!!!!!! Congratulation Anthony and Sylvia! I hope and pray that God will be the center of your relationship and that He will bless you two.

Los Angeles Street Food Fest - very first one, the FAIL

The very first, Los Angeles Street Food Fest happend on Feb 13th, 2010. Like many people in Los Angeles, street food truck has been a trend for while now.

Some smart person decided bring all those trucks in to one place.

Result? From my experience, FAIL!

I had to wait 30-40 min to buy the ticket.
The ticket was $5 dollar and came with a small can of some random soda.
Once I got in, there were millions of people. Each truck, selling their popular items, had at least 50-100 people per truck.
Oh and, the foods were selling at a regular price.

It was just impossible to try many different trucks. Waiting in line like you would at an amusement park, didn't help the appetite. It just made me thirsty.

Sure, foods were good. But the whole experience wasn't pleasant and didn't make sesne.
Why did I have to wait so long, pay $5 just to get in, wait MORE, and pay regular price for food that I can get at any day?

I enjoyed looking through these pictures more than the food I had.

NEVER AGAIN! (unless, of course, they change how it runs)
