The most eventful Thursday of my life...

[Thursday, April 29th] <-- Will always be remembered as the most eventful Thursday of my life! Some of the things I witnessed and experienced that Thursday afternoon in the Hellz Bellz office have forever changed the course of my life. I can never look at candles, baby oil, and hot wax the same way again... SMH!

I won't get into too much detail so I'll let the photos speak for themselves...

"Jino, can you interview these 2 ladies because they're interested in becoming interns..." HAHA

SURPRISE!






If you were following us on Twitter you got a sneak peak at what happen... I'm still traumatized!

16 people + 1 puppy in an elevator = FAIL



Lets celebrate our near death experience... Cheers to life!





It was another memorable time with the Hellz fam! Time to go pick up my Dad... If he only knew what I was doing just a few hours before... SMH!

Oh yeah, happy birthday Jino!

Runyon Canyon x Jamba Juice

There's no better way to start the day, then with a morning hike up Runyon Canyon on a beautiful clear sunny day in Hollywood with friends. To top it off, we got Jamba Juice afterwards!

Shout out to Nancy aka Getatnance (Amsterdam), Jenny Kita (Gwen / Madonna), Chachy, and Mark! We did it!

Happy Graduation!

My business partner and co-founder of Victory, Moe Zarabi got me a Louis Vuitton 15" computer sleeve as a generous graduation gift.

However, I thought it would be more useful if I got an actual work bag instead so I upgraded to the Porte-Documents Voyage GM bag. Is that f**ked up? HAHA Don't worry Moe said he was cool with it. He wants me to have something I would actually use everyday. But I definitely spent way more than I ever thought I would on a bag but I know its something I can use everyday and it will last forever.

Isn't it beautiful!?

Thanks Moe Zarabi & Jen Mendes for contributing! 143!

Class of 2010

[Saturday, May 1st] After more than 2 years of countless all nighters cramming ridiculous 20+ page papers, I was finally about to graduate from the University of Phoenix with my Master in Business Administration (MBA). FINALLY!

Its been a struggle trying to balance my social life, business, and school all together. Many people didn't even know I was going to school all this time because they always saw me out and about. I even remember a few nights were I found myself finishing up online discussion questions while chillin' at the club in the VIP. No joke!

I am forever thankful and grateful for all the amazing people that have helped me through this journey we call life. Time to start taking over the world! But first lets get through this graduation ceremony! :)

My graduation ceremony was at the San Diego Convention Center. It was beautiful! It made me kinda regret not walking at SDSU. But I guess you can say this was my second chance...

Mark Marcelo (Victory) x Angela (Hellz) both came down along with a few other LA folks for the ceremony.
Klev x Alison x Hannah (Victory) always come through to support! Thanks guys!
Even Big Gee aka Gian was in the building, but I think he came to see all the other hot graduates! HAHA
Jenny x Kimtan x Rhoda x Alvin x Ojay came through to represent for the Wildboyz!
It should have read Anthony "TK" Nguyen... All good!
DJ Julz aka Julian Dela Pena (Mindz Alike) signing the inflatable Zebra Alvin brought.
Almost there...
Toe-Knee "TK" Nguyen!
I graduated!
The Godfather aka Dad x Drew aka Brother
Its official... Class of 2010!
I promised my Dad 3 years ago I would get my Masters... I finally did it! He was proud! :)
The Godmother of Hip-Hop aka Anna Sarao graced us all with her presence. Thank you for the flowers and the touching card. Love you Anna!

Don't forget Body Rock Dance Competition this Saturday, May 22nd at the San Diego Civic Center. Get your tickets now! You know I had to plug it! HAHA ;)

Jennifer is one of the only graduates I actually know at the ceremony... Its weird when you have online classes because you never get a chance to put faces to names. Strange isn't it. Anyways, we did it!
After the ceremony we headed to Seau's to celebrate!
Killuh B x Bigotweeties x Minkdevilee
We rolled 28 deep to Seau's and I got a chance to introduce everyone to the Victory roll. They loved it! Trust me you will too so when you're at Seau's make sure you ask for the Victory roll!
One of our closest family friends, Rene & Dana also made a special guest appearance. Its been years since I've seen our two families come together. It was an amazing feeling.
Demi x TK x Diem aka Crazy Aunt
My Dad ended up handing down his Rolex watch to me as a graduation gift. Definitely a moment I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Its been 6 years since I've seen my parents together. I loved it! Thanks to the rest of my family for everything... 143!
I'm finally finished, now its time to make it happen! I'm looking forward to the future!

Thanks again to everyone who took part in one of the most memorable days of my life. I'm truly thankful!
