Cinco de Mayo - Infosheet 2006



=========================
From May 2006
=========================
This is a Cinco de Mayo Informational from 2006 that was used to provide information about Cinco de Mayo to my co-workers at my then employer.

It was a word document that I put together with the information originally sourced from http://www.clnet.ucla.edu/cinco.html

To share it with you, I took image captures of the document and pieced it together narrated by me and with music from the YouTube studio.

Audio: Narration by me. Background music is the song titled Love in Mexico by Carmen María and Edu Espinal from the available YouTube Audio Library. I did slow down the song in order to stretch/fit it the length of the video.

Asian Pork - April 2006


=========================
Taken on April 2006
=========================

These are photos of a soy saucy pork loin and sesame white rice made by armandzraven back in 2006. No particular recipe followed.

Yes. Before Instagram popularized taking photos of your food, I was already taking them. I take photos mostly of the first time eating and/or making a particular dish at home. Or when going out to eat at a restaurant.

Audio: Narration by me and in the background intro of the song titled Chasing Waves by Vista Kicks that I slowed down a bit.

Top of my Desk 2006!


=========================
Taken on March 2006
=========================

This is a short photo collage of the photos I took of the top of my work desk in 2006. Not something I did or do regularly but I liked looking at the mini Statue of Liberty, Bullseye (the Target Dog), shark pen, paper hat I made, and Pride Kit 2006.

How old are those monitors?! HAHA!!!


Audio: Two old audio files that I had. The first one just titled Sound1 and the second one rtsoft. If I'm not mistaken, the rtsoft is from the logo of video game developer Robinson Technologies which must have been from a game on of my old computers came with. I slowed down both files.

Birthday 2006!


=========================
Taken on March  2006
=========================

This is photo collage of some of the photos from my 2006 Birthday!

They includes photos of the mini tres leches and red velvet cakes that I was celebrated with at home and balloons. Gifts and card from co-workers at the time. Card and gifts from armandzraven and Lisa. 

I do enjoy celebrating birthdays, just not in a splashy way. A birthday card, a cake or treat like macarons is always nice. Maybe a small dinner at  a restaurant or grilling at home.
