“Agbiagka, Vintar” was composed in 2009, with lyrics written by my parents, Nick Sr. and Pureza Pacis, and vocals recorded by Vic Omila. This is a nostalgic song about Vintar, the town where I was born in Northern Philippines (Ilocos Norte).

Photos taken around Hotel Maya in Long Beach, California during my cousin Elise’s wedding. It was a perfect place for a wedding reception – the riverfront, Queen Victoria in the background, colorful city lights at night and such! And with a happy family around, the event was just perfect!
Photos I took at the University of the Philippines, Diliman when I went there to visit in June, 2011. It was a very nostalgic moment because I haven’t seen my school in nearly ten years or so. I was glad I went there, even just for a moment!
