Just got back from a week long vacation in Maui with my parents and friend Steve. I had an amazing time. I took about 700 pictures and dozens of short video clips. Check out the latest media entry where I have a journal entry, pictures and video from day one. Next time I gotta make sure to bring a journal while I'm on location... Anyways I hope you enjoy =)

It finally stopped raining! I feel so happy seeing the sun! Grey skies have lifted with a spring like forecast for the coming week yeehaw! Okay back to the topic at hand... RANDOM EXPLORATIONS... Many have been asking me... What I've been up too since I've arrived in Beautiful BC? In short...Mostly just getting settled finding my routine. Been spending lots of time with my cousin and friends.

After several going away and bday parties, two weeks notice, and getting really sick, I miraculously managed to just pack up, pick up and leave for yet another installment of... Dan's adventures around the world haha (Technically not around the world but you get my point =). I'd have to say this time it was quite hard to leave home as I really started to develop stronger bonds with my friends and

I thought I'd be able to jump right into making journal entries retrospectively about my trip... the problem is I'm having trouble with the jetlag. Currently sleeping 15hrs one day and not sleeping the next... and I don't think my stomach is use to the food here anymore... but all that aside I do hope to normalize back into my Canadian life soon and start sharing stories of my adventures =)

Life is good! Got the new Mazda 3 GS, new apartment is great (my housemates are quite sociable and clean - we have a maid anyways), I joined a bunch of clubs (though some haven't really started yet) and I just found out recently that I'll be going to the Philippines for 3-4 weeks! Yeah you heard me! I will be attending my cousin's wedding on May 1st. I can't wait to go! I've been wanting to go

Coming to Waterloo was quite spontaneous in a way. I got a job offer on a wednesday and got a place and a friend to live with only days later! Its funny how things just worked out. Working from home had its novelty... I mean where else can you work in your pajamas and take a time out to watch your favorite show? haha But sadly at home I tended to work all day and night... there was not end to it

For those that weren't able to attend my bday celebrations below is a little excerpt of the weekend activities. I wanted to do something crazy for my 25th I wasn't sure what but a few things came to mind like... waiting at the airport for a random flight on standby, and go to Disney World for the weekend but sadly the few close friends I asked thought I was out of my mind... =) So Disney world

I'm firming up my company image and with that comes the logo. Take a look below and let me know what you think... Colors are changable ones selected are just for example. Any comments are appreciated

Today Bill Gates came to visit the students here at the University of Waterloo. Being on campus I had the opportunity to sit in and listen to his presentation. It was a surreal feeling knowing that this billionaire came all this way to speak to the UW student body. He is only visiting 6 universities and this is his only Canadian stop. The talk itself focussed on the internet and the future of

Well as some of you already know I've moved back to Loo. I've broken down and finally joined the majority in the 9-5 workday routine. This is going to take a little getting used to for me but I'll manage. Having stable income and predictable work hours enables me to truely have evening and weekends free! Everything just fell into place, I got a job offer last week, accepted it a few days later,

I felt such a rush during that final race! The adrenaline was pumping the crowd was cheering and we pulled it together. It was awesome after the race as we huddled together in anxious anticipation of the 'photo' finish. The results came in and the celebration of our personal victory ensued. The whole experience of that race and us paddling our hearts out really made me so gawdang hysterical! (we

Last week or so Felix and Idy had a big 69 person bbq. Tons of food, people, and entertainment. Whether it was poker, briscola, ping pong, cranium, or just watching a movie there was something fun to do. I wanna say a big thanks to Felix and Idy for organizing this awesome event! it was great I hope we have more of these social house parties in the future!The hosts with the most Felix and Idy~

Life's just whizzin by, soon I'll be hitting the quarter century mark. Reminising the past I decided to flip through some old year books and photo albums. Here's a compilation of highschool yearbook pics (its a bit embarassing): Eventually I'd like to make a compilation that spans my life to the present.
