I remember the first time I heard of Cathy & Randolph was back in August when Meliss showed me her favorite rendition of one of her favorite songs:
A couple weeks later, Meliss & I saw Cathy & Gabe at The Boat (thai restaurant). A couple weeks after that, I (officially) met Cathy at USC's Mabuhay and Randolph at It's A Grind.
It's been incredible these past few months. From first watching these guys on YouTube, to meeting them, to chilling with them...and just watching them grow as musicians & people.
But unfortunately, part of growing up is dealing with heartbreaks.
Randolph, it's been such a blessing. You've touched so many lives here in Cali. If we have to let you go and watch you move on to the next chapter of your life, we hope you to touch even more lives while you're out there. We expect to see more smiles, music and acting from you on The Filipino Channel...just like your last video, hahahahahaha.
Holy crap! Thank you guys so much for all the birthday wishes. My facebook, twitter and cell phone were going crazy the whole freakin' day!
Not gonna lie, I've had some miserable birthdays in the past...so I've learned to appreciate the simplest birthdays of facebook/myspace comments, twitters, text messages and just being around people that I love. Yesterday was all about that and I loved it.
A few days ago, I was thinking of doing something like, "for every person that wishes me happy birthday, I'll do a body roll for one second." Damn, if I actually did that, it'd be a video of me doing body rolls for over 2.5 minute!! :laugh: Maybe next year. Maybe.
Anyways, lotsa love to the people that wished me happy birthday (in chronological order):

And on a random note...
This Ralph Emerson quote popped into my head yesterday. I've posted this before but I just love this quote so much I wanted to share it with you guys again:
Ralph Waldo Emerson:
To laugh often and much.
To win the respect of intelligent people,
and the affection of children.
To earn the appreciation of honest critics,
and endure the betrayal of false friends.
To appreciate beauty.
To find the best in others.
To leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition.
To know even one life has breathed easier,
because you have lived.
That is to have succeeded.
We've been on this thing forover a month now...and it's been fuuuuun! We started on BlogTV with one or two people broadcasting at a time...but with Tokbox, you can see everyone broadcasting. Up to 30ish people.
I never really broadcasted on BlogTV because I didn't want to deal with the pressure of entertaining people. But with Tokbox, you're really just hangin' out.
It's easy to forget that at any given moment I could be talking to people from SoCal, NorCal, Chicago, Texas, New York, Toronto, Ontario, Sweden, etc.
We've been doing this so much, it's no surprise when we all end up passing out.
So we all get to know each other online. And then we all meet up offline in real life.
