“You are a walking, talking, living, breathing billboard. What you’re advertising and what you’re selling …. is YOU!”

“You’re either properly gonna represent yourself or you’re not, and it has a lot to do with what you put on your body”

“You can be the smartest, most well spoken person on the face of this planet, but when a person first meets you … before you open your mouth … you’ve already spoken … with what you look like”

Suits – Every man should have at least 2 suits. Get a couple of nice suits and please get them tailored to fit your body to add shape to the nice suit you just bought.

Jeans/Trousers/Pants – They should fit!!! They should not be skin tight & they should not be 4 sizes too big! They should fit! If you can put on your pants on without a belt, that’s great. However, if you can put on your pants without a belt and we can see the muscles in your calves, those are too tight! Let’s leave those to the ladies.

T-Shirts – If you’re going to go out wearing a t-shirt. Do yourself a favor and iron your damn t-shirts. Don’t walk out the house with wrinkles all over as if you just took it out of the hamper and just shook it and just threw it on. That’s not so flattering.

Shoes – Not all shoes are meant to be squeaky clean. However it does speak volumes if your shoes are, at least, taken care of.

Socks – Men should RARELY wear white socks. Should never wear white socks with dark slacks.

I’ve recently joined the Kiwanis Club of  ”Greater” Garden Grove. I’ve always wanted to join a service club to give back to the community in any way that I could. Today my 2 bosses (Anand and Charles) and I visited my old Junior High, Walter C Ralston Intermediate School. We donated 2 iPad2 tablets to their special needs classrooms. We were given a tour of the classrooms and got to meet many of the students. It was such a rewarding experience seeing the kids and how grateful they were. This is EXACTLY why I joined a group like this. We will be having another fundraiser during the Strawberry Festival in GG, and we look to donating one more iPad2 to the kids. So exciting!

My good friends Robert and Julie gave birth to the cutest … most precious little girl. I had the opportunity to photography her the other night. Wasn’t exactly prepared as I’d like to be, but some photos came out okay. She’s so adorable!

Robert taking care of “daddy’s little girl”. I love to watch Robert and Julie take care of Kinsley. They’re are such great parents.

My other model, Major, was in the house so I had to snap some photos of him as well.

My BFF was featured in The Knot Magazine for his Wedding that I was a part of. It was by far the nicest wedding I’ve ever seen.

It’s beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS ….

My house shopping has officially begun …. what better place to start than COSTCO …. followed shortly by TAGET! hehe!

As of 4pm today I am officially a home owner! So Excited! Although I actually own the home …. the seller needs til Monday for her movers to move her stuff, so technically I’m also a landlord for the next 3 days. LOL!.

Saw a youtube video showcasing Thunderbolt on the MacBook Pros and the new 27 inch cinema displays. Then I saw how clean his setup was and saw this stand and now I’ve gotta have it. It’s sleeeeek as HELL! Not bad for $50 from TwelveSouth.
