Stars come in all shapes and sizes

In case you didn’t notice, my blog is donning a new and improved banner courtesy of my insanely talented friend, MARK RUIZ or who I fondly call Markee. I’ve been redoing my blog banner since late last year and never really felt completely satisfied with it, thus the inconsistency. It finally made sense to me that I needed to consult a multimedia pro. I’ve come to a revelation that my novice skills in Microsoft paint are clearly outdated and nearing obsolescence. Thank God for friends who are more creative and more capable in things you just cannot do by yourself. So as a form of gratitude, I am offering this amazing entry in honor of all of the talented people in my close circle who are nothing less than remarkable in their own right. If you happen to need their services, i.e. you would like to hire them/ask for advice/ congratulate them/say hi/hook up/marry them, you can always go through me – for a small fee of course. HAHAHA. I kid. I kid.
