Taking a break with Mom

A day with Mom at the Del Mar Horse Racing Track. Some lose, some break even, and some win like Neil and Andy. We all really didn't care about winning, we just wanted to be with mom and have fun.

A wedding reception for Jesselle & Daniel

A family gathering to celebrate Jesselle & Daniel's wedding vows Hawaiian style. They were married on Feb 26, 2007. The reception was at Daniel's mom and dad's house because Daniel is in the service and it's hard to get time off. It was great to see my aunts, uncles, and cousins from my moms side again, it's been a long time. The Filipino food was delicious as always . Click HERE to link you to my photo gallery.

Rebecca & Shahin's wedding

The Aghd- Persian style wedding ceremony was so cool, I have never seen anything like it. The bride and groom sat in front of a table that contained food and traditional items that have meaning about sharing in their new life together, such as gold coins, apples, flatbread, honey, etc about 16 items altogether. The large mirror symbolizes light & brightness in their future. The decorated eggs, walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts symbolizes fertility.
The Persian food and desserts were awesome, very tasty and delicious! The reception was very lively everyone loved dancing. The photos are in this link click it R&S wedding.

The wedding took place in Michelle's grandmother old country estate were the horses roam and the sunsets are beautiful.

Day at Sea World

We took the newly weds my 1st cousin Daniel and his wife Jesselle to Sea World Monday - they went in for free because he's in the service and that's so cool. Leilani and Daniel hanged out a lot when he's in town visiting his parents. Lisa Wood bought us a season pass with her discount because she was in the coast guard and I think this is are 4th time to go. The last time we went was with Michelle and Larry, my Canon 30D camera was stolen that day when we were eating lunch - DON'T CRACK YOUR WINDOWS OPEN THEY CAN STILL GET IN.
Sorry I haven't been updating my blog - I been very busy catching up with work, we just got back on another vacation - Wyoming for Miria & Steven's wedding, Illinois to visit Lisa & David, and New Mexico to visit Ellin & John. Tomorrow we're leaving to Gilroy for a garlic festival that Neil told Joy about this a couple weeks ago, he was shock that we got a hotel because it's a pretty big event - so stay tune for more updates like breaking down with our new RV.
Here's some picture with my new Canon XTi and EF 28-300, I'm waiting for the next Canon 5D upgrade I think it might be out next year.

Leilani got a little wet when she got to close to the Shamu tank.

Leilani was helping Ariana closer to the water, and - Ariana said the water was very salty.

Use a EF-S 17-85 lens and the guard rail as a tripod.

A short vac to Flagstaff

the Optical Fiber Communication in Anaheim

We went to the OFC trade show last month for a week - showing potential customer our optical switches. The optical switch are made of tiny little mirrors 81 of them fit in a dime they are called MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) that redirect laser beams in 3D movements (used in communication) to different connections thru fiber optic cables (made of glass a little thicker than our hairs) - it's just like our phone line going thru electrical relays (the relay is like the optical switch, the relay is only 1D) to select different telephone lines via electrical signals.

Our demo was made of four TV monitors, four DVDs, and four transports (electrical signals converted into light and back again). The electrical signal from the DVD went to the transport to our optical switch and then back to the transport converted back into a electrical for the TV. The optical switch moved various shows to different TV monitors to demo a very simple 4X4 switch, but it's an actually 81x81 switch that's over 6560 different connections.
Since I designed the whole demo system hardware and another guy did the software, we had to be their just in case something when wrong. But I did an exit stage left to take the family out to Disneyland after I was done setting it up and testing it - ready for the show. Of course something went bad one of the DVD's - when we were in Disneyland and in line, I told them they just have to wait for a couple more hours (this was on a Saturday and the show didn't start till Monday - ha!).

I used my home made wireless remote for the group pictures.





The CEO packing it up get ready for home - Wednesday was a long day.
The bug show was a very cool 3D movie in the California park.

Dog Show at the Del Mar track '07

Auntie Val and Sprint going for the Gold! Rain or snow the dog show must go on and it did rained a little. Chris, Danica and I stood under someones tarp taking pictures, while Val run the track with Sprint. Before the competition started Val had to remember the run pattern and she was in the last group (group by dog size) - pretty good memory.
