Back Home to LA

Hi Hi

Just got back from China and have lots of stories,pictures, and experiences to share. I will give you on the updated scoop once Im fully recovered from my jetlag. In China, I wasnt able to log onto blogger, facebook, or youtube. The government block out whatever website they want. Which sucks for me because I cant log on to give you guys the updated scoop. But now Im back I will have time to blog as much as I want.

Love Junkie for Swapmeets

Since I'm in a blogging mode, i'll post up more pictures of my adventures at the swapmeet. Located in Pasadena the Rose Bowl Swapmeet happens I think once a month and only in the weekends. I wanted to go there so I drag Alan to come with me. I didnt have anything in mind to buy there but I love swapmeets, thiftstores, garage sales, yard sales. Anything with a deal its a STEAL. haha... yeah I'm a sucker for sales too.

Talent 1 Media Film Festival

Today I went Talent 1 Media 5th Annual Film Festival. I was actually helping out my event coordinator/mentor with this event, directing the crowd to the right place and showing the food truck vendors where to park. It was fun and interesting as I got to see some of the world premiere film festival.
