Recap of my family reunion & vacation

Hello again everyone!

Well today is my family's last day here in Maryland and were gonna fly back to Florida tonight. The past week and a half has been a pleasant experience for me. I took over 150 photos of my trip here (click here to view my family reunion/vacation album). Well for my second blog post, here's a short recap on my trip and what I've been doing these past couple weeks.

On June 18, 2009, my family and I flew from Tampa to Norfolk, Virginia to spend the weekend with our close family relatives from my dad's side (the "Llaguno" clan lol). Here's some pictures taken from our family reunion event:





After our reunion weekend, we went out to Laurel, Maryland to visit my dad's brother and his family, who recently moved here because a Filipino SDA Church here needed a new head pastor. During our stay here we went and visited Washington, D.C.





We also visited the Seventh-day General Conference World Headquarters as well!





During the week, some of my relatives from Virginia drove up to Maryland to meet us and we all drove up to Pennsylvania to watch "In the Beginning," a play performed by Sight & Sounds. I should say, it's one of the best play performances I've ever seen in my life!





Here's their website so you can learn more:

Afterwards, we drove down to Baltimore, Maryland to check out the sites.





Overall, I really enjoyed my vacation here with the family. I enjoyed sightseeing here in Maryland, and ohh i just loved the weather and temperature here, much much better than Florida...seriously...lol well today we're getting ready to leave for Florida, and we should be back by tonight...late probably...

Going back to Florida means it's time to get right back to video production. I finally wrote up a story for an upcoming Christian-based drama short film which I now need to break it down into scenes and directions on how it needs to be done when it comes to the shooting of the film.

I'm also gonna finish up with David Jolly's music video, and it really needs to be done because it's been already a couple months since we've started on this project...and it really needs to be DONE! lol... No worries...it will be completed and out very soon because I'll soon be getting started on a completely new music video featuring another talented music artist.

Well that's all I'll say for now. It's almost time for us to leave. For all my friends back at home, I miss you all, but I'm coming home! See you all very soon!

FIRST BLOG and I'm on family vacation!

Hey everyone! Justin here... Well I think its about time that I start posting blogs because I know for a fact that most of you like to be updated on things I've been working on during this Summer of 2009. So here it is, my very first blog post! ^_^

First of all let me just start off and say thanks to everyone who watched my latest short, "When Peace Came."

Took me about 2 weeks to produce this short, and yes, it's a very short one. Hehe that's because I'm entering a video contest sponsored by Target and Converse One Star called, "Challenge. Create. Change." where you have to create a short video that's at least 27 seconds long and no more than 3 mins in length. -_- When I first finished the first draft cut of the video it totaled 3 mins 30 secs...so I had to go over and trim out the footages till those extra 30 seconds were finally gone...tough because I had to make sure I leave in the critical footage that mainly tells what my story is about...but luckily, I was able to get that done!

Visit their website here for more details of the contest:

A few "behind the scenes" pictures...find more here

Okay enough of that for the time being lol...Right now, I'm out with my family vacationing in Virginia right now. Great place. The temperature here is just so...perfect...unlike Florida's temperature.....GG boyz LOL... Great place to be in the summer I should say!

Yesterday I visited my aunt's house here in Virginia, and my, she has a very nice garden! Here's some pics...

Well this weekend we have a family reunion here in Virginia and then the following week were off to Maryland to visit my dad's brother and tour Washington D.C. I'm gonna post up pictures here on my MySpace so check back here for new pics!

Oh and last night, wow, my mind became so creative at a very late hour during the night, and I actually stayed up till like 3 in the morning just writing up a story for an upcoming drama short film that I'll be working on when I get back home. Weirdest thing of all is that I first thought up these ideas while I was taking a shower...O_O... Afterwards, I wrote up a thousand word paper on this story...ahh I'm so excited to get started on it when I get back home.

I'm also gonna finish up on two music videos when I get back as well so stay tuned cuz I got a handful of short film and music videos coming your way!

Well okay that's all I'm gonna talk about for now! I'm gonna get back to getting ready for my family reunion this weekend...I'll get back to you guys whenever...okay peace and God bless!
