Hello Tumblr… how are you doing? How have you been. I been away for so long, things have changed so much around here.

I was talking about you the other day with a friend and we both reminisced about you in the most fondest way…

I remember staying up deep into the night talking to anyone up, answering questions… questions I didn’t even know I had the answers for. But non the less we all talked and got to know each other…

You walked me into these interwebs and now I know that when it comes to this new world of the internet, you were my first love… oh, I know there has been others, the twitters and Instagrams… that new girl, TikTok, who everyone finds so hot.. but you were my first.

I just wanted to come back and see what’s new, what’s poppin?!?! I’ve grown up and bit, looks like you have too… remember when we were younger and wild… anything goes! Seems like we all had less rules then.

But walking around here again, seeing who’s still around, I don’t know who still hangs out. But maybe this is still a good place to come talk when I have time something to say something… a place to write.

It’s good to see you.

We have so much love for these two!!! @ajrafael & @alyssugh It’s been an honor to share this day with you and to be apart of your lives… We truly wish you a lifetime of love & happiness & music & harmony! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg6WGCAuoeQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I got the honor to see @jokoy and his #FunnyIsFunnyWorldTour in New York. Also the homie @joeyguilalive performed and killed it! I’m so proud of both of these guy and seeing the world @Jokoy has been able to create and the massive audiences who he has spread our culture to is awe inspiring. It was special to hear his story as he explained parts of his rise both on stage during his show and just kicking after the show reminiscing on knowing each other on climb up. Forever proud of him, inspired by all that he has accomplished and all the things he continues to do! You’re a icon, Jo! https://www.instagram.com/p/CcjFl62M9Lz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Shooting in #CentralPark today was amazing! First time in my career that I get to do a New York movie & we get shoot in this iconic place! I got all the feels of #WhenHarryMetSally and #HannahAndHerSisters and so many other films I just adore. It’s really great to now have some scenes in a movie here too. Truly magical day and one of the reasons why I love filmmaking… just being apart of it all. @asianpersuasionfilm 📸: @bcatbagan (at Central Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcUJUk5MT4S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I’m shooting this film in New York called #AsianPursuassion & it has a full Asian cast which is exciting. Also I’m shooting a film for the first time in this amazing city! And I get to work with an old friend who I haven’t seen in many, many years, who happens to be another pioneering Filipino actor from my generation, @itspaolomontalban! (Some of you may know him as Prince Charming from @brandy’s #Cinderrella) Good to see you, bro, and even better to finally get the chance to work together! @asianpersuasionfilm https://www.instagram.com/p/CcS49rYM1k0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We did it!!! #FabFilipinoTour finale in Hawaii!!! The whole tour came to an end last night and with the most amazing screening in Hawaii at the historical Hawaii Theater. Thank you to everyone who came out and treating us like family! This tour has been the time of my life, getting to share our movie with so many folks across the country. Through the tour with the family and our crew, we had the time of our lives and made memories we’ll always treasure. For all those who came out to experience the film in person with us through out the tour, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I know it was crazy to do this, especially in the times we’re in… but we got through it and spread the good word about the film. Even though the tour is done… @fabfilipinobros is still going! Go check it out on all the platforms & spread the good word! Thank you Hawaii, mahalo. (at Hawaii Theatre Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Caffy7FPn16/?utm_medium=tumblr
