There are way too many crazy memorable moments from the Davis days…. where to begin?!? I’l just list off some of the top moments of our crazy Aggie days (in random order)

I remember for one of your birthdays the 147 gals & company (with the inside help of one of your roomies) got into your room and turned EVERYTHING upside down even your mattress and made a huge barrier that you had to run into to get inside your room… and the most awesome thing was that you didn’t know we were the geniuses that pulled the prank off! hahaha I still have pictures and videos from that night!

I remember the crazy twister parties at Nutty & I’s apartment at the end of our davis days… lots of crazy pictures from that!

I remember the awesome memorable camping trip with T, Danielle, Nate, Mike Tang, Marcie and a few others… prank after prank… but we pulled off the ultimate pranks! 1) trapping you guys in the tents, stealing your shoes and hanging them from trees and 2) saran-wrapping you, mike tang, and nate together… hehehe good times!

I remember our Bay Area Christmas Dinners & White Elephant… are we going to do that again this year???

I remember this one Sunday you came to check out GRX while we were still hopping from one hotel conference center to another. After service we were looking for each other amidst the crowd of Asian faces in the hotel lobby.. and then all of a sudden I hear “EC!!!” ring above the noises around me.. I turn around and I see you waving your hand. *shakes head* I honestly think that you forgot what my REAL name is: NANCY…. NOT EC! the sad this is that I actually RESPONDED to being called “EC”!!! *shakes head* hahaha the EC has retired and is getting too old for that. haha you and steve-o just refuse to stop calling me EC. why???? ><

The list can go on but I'll end it with the best memories of our davis days:

Esther's 19th bday and My 22nd birthday celebration at Sorrento 147. The best of the IV pie-age actions those two years… Not only did Esther get pied on her bday, you boys plotted to share the love with Esther on my birthday and gave her a pie in her face… that video will go down in IV history as the best executed birthday pie-age ever! Good Times!

Cheers to a fabulous year ahead!

You really capture the beauty vividly express in love.

i remember when…
i quit my job and moved back to the bay to do wedding photography full time. i basically knew no one in the industry here and with amazingly perfect timing you had posted you were looking for more assistants and tada our friendship was born! i can’t be more grateful for being able to get to know you better in the past 2 years. you’ve given me countless amounts of advice, taught me to value my work and be more confident in myself, pushed me to try new things, introduced me to other photographers, and i can honestly say you’ve really helped me develop into a better photographer. i not only learn so much when i assist you i genuinely have an awesome time and we always have plenty to laugh about! have a great 28th year! i hope all your dreams and wishes come true!

she made my special mowmow birthday cupcakes which u collected and especially delivered to me when we first met! =)

Then, I remember that you mentioned that I didn’t sound like I had the burning passion or the hunger. Your two cents were to stick with my current full-time job which would provide me more comfort, rather than the fulfillment that photography would allot me (and yourself, as well).

I appreciated your honesty then, and I still do.

I also remember with great delight that Steph and I probably got the best wedding photography package deal on the planet, one that will probably never be offered again by Junshien International! =]

Thanks a ton for the memories, the inspiration, and the friendship.

One way of not forgetting your roots is definitely to continue to walk in the Lord’s path and leading to where you are..God will (from time to time) remind you of the paths you’ve been..and definitely a promised great path ahead.

Well..for a person that’s almost half a globe away, reading some updates from you does reminds me that dreams are still worth chasing for. Keep going, keep writing and keep doing what’s right. Wishing you a blessed birthday….God Bless and lots of love….:)

Lately, I’ve realized I have made the mistake of not following my dreams, rather taking the safe route. Your blog and life has inspired me to do what I’ve always dreamed of doing. There are people that you run across in life that can play a huge role in shaping your future, and you are one for me. Thank you and Happy Birthday Junshien!

Happy 28th! Keep up the good work!
