Today is my baby brother Adam’s birthday! He’s a LIBRA like me….and of course he adores his BIG sister!! Sure he’s been a pain in my @ss…but he’s growing up to be a fine young gentleman and I can’t believe he is 25!!! What??? Whoa…
He’s in the Air Force reserve…and he has 2 main passions in life… BMX… which I’ve seen his countless bumps, cuts and bruises, but he always continues to ride…
and his Subaru… 🙂 He puts A LOT Of money into this expensive hobby, but he does a great job..very passionate!
BUT… I know he’s most proud of having 3 loving big sisters! See “us” like 5 years ago…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM! LOVE YOU LOTS BABY BRO!!
P.S. Yes ladies..he is SINGLE… so, not everyone line up at once, but he is taking applications. 😉
Happy Birthday to my little (big) sister Adrienne! Yes, I’m older but in life she is noticeably “taller.” 29 years ago, 6 days before my birthday, she ended my run as an only child… and she’s been following me around ever since! j/k Her September 23 birthday falls on the Virgo/Libra cusp, so when I don’t want to claim her as a fellow Libra…I excuse her for having Virgo tendencies! lol
I am so thankful and blessed to have Adrienne as a sister. She is smart, kind & wise… AND no matter what, she is there for me. She is also a very talented designer and I love to brag about her whenever possible!
So, if you’re in SF, be sure to check out posters ADE designed for “Where Art Lives.” The life size posters are up all along Market Street. You can also see more of her work on her website http://adrienneaquino.com

The good folks at PNOY Apparel have developed and are releasing a very special jacket called “The Veterano.” I applaud their dedication and commitment to not only educate, pay tribute and honor the heroes of our (Filipino) heritage, but they also give back! Bravo… Both my grandfathers were among the 250,000 Philippine soldiers who marched and fought alongside the Americans against the Japanese during WWII, so although gone, they are not forgotten.
The Veterano jacket by PNOY Apparel is honoring the 250,000 Filipino American veterans who fought side by side their American counterparts without compensation or recognition. ONLY after almost 70 years, the Stimulus Plan hands out $15K to those who became U.S. Citizens and $9K to non-citizens veterans for their duty, a small reward for a life’s worth.
PNOY Apparel wants to help with proceeds of The Veterano to be donated to JFAV (Justice for Filipino American Veterans) to help our dying heroes.

I hit the red carpet at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino this past weekend for The Summer Groove “Comedy Jam.”
The annual event is hosted by Alonzo Mourning and Dwyane Wade…
DWade hit the carpet with Gaby Union … a first public appearance as a couple!
*Note I was the first to “tweet” it! 🙂
AND – Boston Celtic Rajon Rondo came through for his very first “Summer Groove!”
The Comedy Jam is highlighted by a who’s who list of comedians…here’s a shot of Gary Owen who made a back to back appearance coming off his performance from last year’s event.
Look out for all the video highlights and interviews coming soon On The Flipside!
This past weekend I served as a host for the Red Bull Flugtag event in Miami. FYI…”Flugtag” is German for “Flight Day.”
A MASSIVE EVENT!!
It was an all-day affair where we hosted a LIVE TV broadcast on screens all over the park, along with Dan Levy (pictured), Tina Dixon and Uncle E. I think it’ll end up on FSN at some point this fall.
It was the 2010 kick off for a 4 city U.S. – tour of the annual festival where teams compete by creating different and sometimes wacky “flight” craft to launch from a flight deck!
It was crazy HOT in downtown Miami at Bayfront Park and the crowd was estimated somewhere between 85k to 100k between folks in the park and boaters in the water!
DJ Irie was a judge for the day…
Also interviewed Motocross Champ James Stewart!
LOTS OF FUN…IN THE SUPER HOT SUN!
Check out this video with some of the flight craft highlights!
WOW! Dwyane Wade is staying, Chris Bosh has arrived and LeBron James is on his way! Who would’ve ever predicted a year ago that these 3 All-Stars would be playing for the Miami HEAT!?
While Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade had made their Miami announcement yesterday…I wasn’t convinced LBJ would be joining them. I guess in my heart (and being an NBA fan,) I couldn’t help but think LeBron in NYC was best for the game…plus I like the Knicks coaching staff (PHX alums) – BUT I am happy he’s in Miami and going to play for the HEAT!
I drove by the American Airlines Arena shortly after the announcement where fans were honking and celebrating in the streets…they also had the ESPN special airing on the gigantic mesh screen on the front of the arena… The news vans were stacked up along Biscayne BLVD and there is a vibe of new life in the Magic City air!
So, it seems South Beach will now be HOTTER than ever..and maybe I gotta figure out a way to stay…honestly I had felt like I had outgrown Miami, but this is incentive to try and grow my role with the HEAT and HEAT TV. Regardless, expect to see me and my boy Burnie in the stands come game time! 🙂
