Jay and I decided to throw a Hawaiian Luau for the Holidays. With about 30 people in our apartment, it definitelt felt like we were in Hawaii.

I took portraits of all the guests by our Tiki wall. Check out the Tiki Portrait Set on Flickr.

UPDATE: More pictures can be found here.

My parents and I moved to Canada from the Phillipines when I was 3 years old. I really don’t remember much from those days or prior to. What memories I have of the Phillipines are only that of stories told to me by my parents.

When we moved here, we lived in a basement apartment below my aunt and uncle’s place in Scarborough, on the northwest corner of Danforth Rd. and Linden Ave. There was a nice big yard that faced Danforth and a great Itailian Convience Store two door down. When I was old enough to wander to the store on my own, my dad would send me over there to buy him cigarettes (Rothman’s).

Anyway, I can’t say that I remember much from my first Christmas in Canada, but the year would have been 1977… actually it may have been 1978. DAMN gotta go find out.

Basically, I picked up this old Christmas Ornament from a Value Village for $2.99. It still has it’s original box and I believe it was sold at Hallmark stores. I couldn’t pass it up.
