Incredible job all around, while I am ashamed to have been absent, I know that everything worked out wondrously.

Just when I thought the work was all done, someone handed me a conga and asked me to join the pit orchestra. I had very little involvement music wise during this production.

It's incredibly honorable and exciting to know that we're doing what we love and supporting a great cause. The dreams and planning made were all worth it, thank you VRD for all you do and more.

We raised ✨$37,039.47✨ for @trevorproject.bsky.social this weekend by dancing to every single Fitness Marshall song in @vrchat.com! ❤️ Thank you for the unbelievably generous support at Marshallthon 2026! 💫 See you on the dancefloor! 💃

Amazing job on all fronts, I'm saddened with my absence but it quickly subsides with all the stories and experiences flooding in from friends and coworkers alike in and outside of the VRD circle. I am proud of every single one of you who attended, staffed, hung out, and or passed by.

May is the month of class struggle. I'm working on another #VRChat political watch to host this month. To raise our working class consciousness. Here is a teasing clip 😊

There was a post made on my island's local News network about a protesting group, it really got me interested in the views this small island holds for those in the mainland USA and what they really meant by "Promoting peace through strength". No positives come to my mind but why is it quiet?

At the end of it all, I just want more information on how and why. Maybe I'm not mature enough to comprehend it all or maybe it's too cryptic for me to understand but it shouldn't be hidden. The island's already far from many things as it is.

The entire notion and movement towards establishing a stronger military presence over in the Marianas doesn't really sit well with me and the events that came forward have made my fellow Chamorro brothers and sisters seek solitude elsewhere. My only question is . . . where can I take a stand?

What a month, this would now be my 7th time helping manage a music festival. The difficult part is constantly being in a new department every time. The redeeming aspect is constantly meeting with international artists and playing difficult pieces. Oh, what a time to be alive.

From the loud days, social events, and busy nights. There's always been music to fit the mood. These two moments reminded me of "Jupiter Hymn from The Planets" by Gustav Holst. Such a grand emotion to be had looking back at your work or just contemplating under the night sky.

The journey has been very exciting thus far, and it's not even close to ending. Thank you to everyone for joining me on this story, and I hope to see you all the next time I'll see you.

A true test of musicianship. Having a long improv session with 5 other incredibly talented musicians was not on my bingo list for this year. It was incredibly insightful to know where I lacked and where I excelled. There's always something new to learn.

I've been worn out quite a bit from music. I love the smiles and the ideas that are shared amongst the different age and ethnic groups, but darn is it hard to keep it going without a break. Makes me wonder whether making it more than a hobby was wise and worthwhile. There's only one way to know.

It's no surprise that self doubt is something that regularly plagues my mind, the only important part is that I'm trying to get over it. Whether it's my competence as a musician or photographer, all that matter is that I'm trying my best.

The Australian International Music Festival was one of the best memories that I still recall to this day. Being able to play in places such as the Opera House and Townhall were things I never would've dreamed of.

I didn't have the best device for taking pictures but I did what I could. Here's some photos I took when I was on tour in Japan back in 2018. It's an experience I'll never forget and still cherish to this day.

You are up to date.
