Day 20

Rave at dolores park?? nooo way...

So after work I picked some friends up and we hit up ikes, then went to dolores park to enjoy the sun and just chill. To our surprise there was a bigger party then there is usually on a sunny day. There was a dj, his hype man, a bunch of people just jamming to the trance he was playing, and a bunch of vendors selling edible treats and jello shots? yup jello shots.. I hope you guys enjoyed your first experience of dolores park..

-matt

Dolores park?!? bareh! Grabbed sandwiches from ikes with matt and jay and headed down to this place. When we got there I was like BAREHHHHHHHHHHH!?! Bass bumpin, tecno jammin, and people dancing like crazy, all in the middle of a park. Was a hipster overload for me. haha



-brenton

Just a daily thing in the haight of sf..

-matt

Damn man, when I came to the city last year I didnt see it like this. Anyways, just snapped a quick pic waiting for a ride home from the bart.

-miah

Day 17

A pretty mean rainbow I snapped on the way home today.



-miah


Haha at telling cab driver to check out the blog. Good shit miah, always got the best stories.
So i like to work out regularly. Since it was sunny all week, i figured id go for a run when i got home from school. But guess who was there to smack me in the face and make me do nothing but stay in the house? SF famous FOG, oh how i hate you. Here is a pic of how fog just sucks the life out of everything, even out of this pic lol.

-matt

Matt took us to this pretty mean pizza place. Ordered the cali pizza which had chicken, feta cheese, spinach and pesto. Was bomb!



-brenton

Day 16

96 degrees in the shade..
Today was beautiful in SF. Had a 4 hour class today but teacher lets us go 2 and a half hours early cheee hee, so I made a phone call to ikes and odered the menage au trois to be picked up 3 hours later. So I walked to 24hr fitness worked out for almost 2 hours then headed down to ikes. So they were suppost to be evicted this thursday because the neighbors complain of the long lines, loud customers and the fresh smell of bacon?? wtf who doesnt like the smell of bacon?? But due to a technicality they actually evicted ike the owner and not the store, stoked!! Jumped to the front of the line grabbed my sandwich, watched the camera crews setting up outside of ikes, and walked down to dolores park. After having multiple orgasms in my mouth from the sandwich I some how was still able to catch this pano.


ps- happy bday miah! and rage um up tonight with brenton and jay at their going away..

Dolores Park-SF

-matt

First night in SF, you know we gotta hit up in and out. Animal Style! And matt, thanks for the invite to ikes.



-brenton

Big deucedeuce! But man, last night was too fun. Soo many funny shit happened to me. haha Always got the funniest stories when I'm drunk. 1 of um is I caught a taxi ride to brenton's place and I totally forgot to pay my taxi driver lol. Cab driver didn't say anything or stopped me though, he was super cool throughout the ride. I even told him to check out our blog but if you're reading this, my bad for not paying you but thanks for the free ride my bradda! chee. haha

Day 15

Coffee anyone?



And here's a funny one I made today. hahahahahaha


-miah

No coffee, but ill take some tea or hot cocoa!
First day back at school and already getting slammed with assingments and test. My fault for skipping the first week of classes to chill in hawaii for a little longer. So another indoor shot sorry guys, i hope my next indoor shot is in the studio. I really hope they renew my studio access card, that place is my second home. I promise you guys will get an outdoor pic tomorrow, i just dont know of what. Not much to tell about this pic, but its just a couple of things i have saved up. Im thinking about using them when everyone Hopefully comes up in december. Nothing beats friends, some food, drinks and a massive bonfire at ocean beach with a home made fireworks show!! Dont worry ill be adding to the collection. Maybe ill even add a pic of the full supply the day of.

miah i had to jack that watermark and test um out one fast one.

-matt



Haha, mean the foosball table. And matt I like see your collection. I'm downs for a bonfire, that sounds dope. I'll see if I can bring some heat too. Anyways tonight I had another awesome evening out with the babes.



-brenton

Day 14

Last night was pretty chill. My friend Brenton and I along with his girlfriend Eleanor went on a night photo sesh at a place called round top view aka Tantalus. We was up there for awhile probably for about 30 mins. Long enough for cops to come up and kick everyone who was up there cruising. The cop was pretty chill though, we got to stay a little longer and manage to even catch some pics of his cop car haha. After that, we hit up Waikiki beach then called it a night. Here's my pic from the famous viewpoint in Hawaii. Tantalus! Also, I did a tilt shift effect I learned from my homie Matt.



-miah

Sick pic miah!
So i wake up at 5:30am and start getting ready to open for work. I eat a small breakfast (egg and sausage burrito) i made. All in hopes that the brazilian cafe would be open so i could take a picture and eat their amazing food. But they never showed up. So after getting home i ran across the street and got this bomb grilled chicken with garlic sauce sandwich. Definitely the highlight of my day.

-matt

Mean the tilt shift photo. I like learn how. Anyways just did a long exposure on the cop car up at tantlus.



-brenton

Day 13

Soooo tired, forgot what it was like to actually work then work out after. Well believe it or not this was the one and only pic i took since i was stuck behind a desk all day. At least i got to see a lot of familiar faces and talk story with them. That quote on the wall gave me a good laugh all day, here is what it says "There are no wounds the iron can't heal"- joe gold

- matt

Wanted to take a night picture for my pic of the day but I ended up taking a nap, I'm still feeling a little jet lag. So instead I decided to take a picture of my week old dreads.



-miah

Had dinner with the family tonight. Nothing like bomb home cooking, that's all you can eat! Anyways took this of my little sisters cat. Was just chillaxin on my stomach watching my mom cook.



-brenton

Day 12

Mean the hilton pic!! Good to see you learning how to take long exposure shots.
Well i figured id post my pic up early since i start working tomorrow, hopefully i have time to take my daily picture. So today i went to visit the grandparents, and i noticed this old lamp shade of my dads uncle. I just had to take a picture of it and you will see why. This thing is fully covered with labels from all the bottles he drank. From champagne, to whiskey, to scotch labels and so on.

-matt

Had an incredible evening tonight. My lovely girlfriend took me to La Mer. It was such a treat. Everything was so good. Thanks elle bell. I love you.



Had to post this because da buggah was ono.



-brenton

Chee hee! finally back home in Hawaii. I didn't take as much pics as I wanted too in the Philippines cause I felt really sketchy carrying around my camera there. Some crazy person could of cut my arm off or something and snatched my camera. haha but other then that, I still had a good time. Here's my last pic from the philippines of this pretty cherry filipino built mini coupe i saw at the mall parking structure. Had to take a pic of it.


-miah

Day 11

I dont like it unless its Brand New! Well thats exactly what i did today. Went out of the city to find sunshine and to a real runners store where this guy knew everything about every type of shoe there, unreal. So i got myself some of these bad boys, Lunar elites. Color way is amazing at least i think it is. Already went out for a 3 mile run with them, and they feel great except for the shin splins that i almost got from not wearing my special insoles.

And because i feel good today ill post up a bonus pic. I definitely had to go running after this bad boy.
THIS IS CHIPOTLE!!

-matt

Mean the shoes. And I hope that this place is one of the many places were gonna grind at!

Learned some new night photography tips today. So I tested it out on the famous hilton hawaiian.



-brenton

Went to a mall called "greenhills" here in the Philippines. It's bascially a inside swap meet where they sell pretty much everything you can think of from shoes, clothes, jewelry, computers, computer programs, games, appliances, dvd, cell phones, food, etc. for dirt cheap. of course, everything is pirated and the brands are fake. Here's my random pic from one of the stand there. I liked the colors of the lighting from the mini-fountain. Was pretty nuts.


-miah

Day 10

Well i am back in SF now :(. Only a couple of hours being back and im already bored/sad and not even In and Out burgers helped. At least i got pandora to listen to some island jams and reminisce of the good times. Thank you to all my friends for an amazing summer and letting me crash at their place. Once again sorry for acting like a fool last night, i think i might of had a little bit too much to drink??

So here is my pic for today. I was planning to post a pic of sf but im still in a little bit of denial about being back. One of my best friends kristyn brought me my last meal for the trip to the airport. To my surprise it was taniokas. As soon as i saw the bag my mouth was salavating and ready to drool all over the place. After checking in and going thru security and reaching my gate i went for the kill. It was sooo hard not to eat it fast and just enjoy it slowly, but thats exactly what i did. I actually ate it soo slow that i was the last person to board the plane. It could of also been because i was not ready to leave yet.. Sorry for the essay.

-matt

No worries, I got you. I'll post up more pics tomorrow, that will remind you of home. Hopefully they wont add to your sadness.

Didnt really go out to take pictures. Was a chill day, just tried to catch up on some sleep. But after my slumber I was able to snap a pic of this flower in my grandmas garden.



-brenton

Here's something you don't see everyday in Hawaii anymore. I noticed this group of kids on the street and had to snap a pic of it. It's crazy how populated the Philippines is. Every street is busy with people, From morning to night...

-miah

Day 9

Sorry for the late post. Yesterday was a busy, crazy, sad and fun day all in one. My hero photographer/bodybuilder left to go back to the mainland, so i posted this in his honor.

-brenton




Hahaha o man that was a good laugh..  Yesterday was a really busy and crazy day, but what an amazing way to end the last day on oahu.  Well heres my pic sorry for it being late.  Caught this silhouette of a boat as it passed by as the sun was getting ready to set.  I hope when miah gets to a comp he'll upload some sick pics from the PI.

Day 8

Sorry for another beach picture but today we went to the sandbar so i snapped a pic of these 3 beautiful models.

-brenton



Lucky if you live in hawaii! Before leaving i had to hit up the sandbar. So i took some friends on the pontoon we rented for day of fun. Too bad only 7 of us went instead of the original 10 but we still had a good time. So heres a pic of my friend doing a backflip off the boat.

-matt

Part 2 at pier 1! this time i decided to get fucked up haha. I started the night off with a drink called ba-nge-nge. It's a mix drink with 16 different types of liquor. Was pretty meannnn but it sucks I had to drink that schett warm cause the water here in the philippines is dirty. Last time, I tried their water from a restaurant I was shit'n water for days. lulz Here's a the pic of the ba-nge-nge. Ba-nge-nge + 3 Sam Miguel Lite = 3 palu's in one night. chee pono


-miah

Day 7

Was a nice day today so decided to head down to the famous waimea beach. Sun was blazing hot and the water was nice and cool.



-brenton

First week down!! Had a good time at waimea but unfortunately went swimming with my phone while taking some pictures in the water. On the way home caught a fast pic of the nice colors in the sky from the sunset.

-matt

Enjoying a bucket of Sam Miguel Lite at a place a called "pier 1". A buckets costs about 250 pesos which is about $5. DEALS! It's a pretty a dope bar where everyone comes to chill and drink. They also got live band playing on some nights.
