Road Trip to SF | RO Explore

Some photos from our San Francisco road trip.

Visited Big Sur on the wrong day. It was so gloomy..

Check out this Kodak picture perfect family.

It’s Julia’s world and we’re all just living in it.

Met up Vinh and Rica at The Table for breakfast.

Vinh brought Kobe along to get some mimosas.

Wild child Maui.

So much deliciousness.

Maui’s thinking “Didn’t you guys just eat? Why are you at a restaurant again?” Because we’re fat Maui.

Pretty Vietnamese boy Clinton met us up for Pepper Lunch.

We had to get Pepper Lunch and after breakfast was the only time we could do it.

Sleepy heads.

Mace recently joined Team Cozy.

The girls were trying to get turnt before we headed out to eat.

Met up Angelo and Bonnie who were coincidentally in San Francisco at the same time as us. We all decided to go eat at House of Prime Rib.

Best Prime Rib ever!!!

Pro Tip: If you don’t get full off of the prime rib, you can get another one for free!

My beautiful wife Julia.

After stuffing ourselves with gorgeous meat, we headed over to the Fine Arts Museum for some photos.

When I was testing the flash for a photo of Angelo and Bonnie, some strangers photo bombed us.

If Back Street Boys was gay and Asian.

It’s hard being a model, but it’s not hard to eat some ice cream crepes. We headed to Genki Crepes to cap the night off.

So good.

The next morning we went exploring and all the sites we wanted to see were covered in fog.

So beautiful..

Best view all weekend.

Started the food tour at Mr. Holmes.

While waiting in lines in SF, we eat.

Cup length is the penis size of their boy friends/husbands.

Food porn everywhere. Shout out to the fog for giving me great lighting.

This weekend was filled with photo bombers.

Kobe take the wheel.

Shout out to Vinh for taking us to Meadowlark Dairy even though it was out of the way.

Yota Boyz.

Thanks Abbitt and Krstina for driving! Thanks Vinh and Rica for showing us around! Let’s do it again soon!

Pismo Beach Again | Forgotten Memories

Chivas wanted to have his birthday weekend at Pismo beach and wanted us all to come along. Being the crazy fuckers we are, we decided to go to Pismo Beach again within just three weeks apart from the last time we went.

Met up at Angelo’s again and little did I know this would be the last photo I take of Angelo’s 350z. It was sold the next week. Goodbye Angelo’s 350z, you were the reason why Angelo was cool.

Somehow I woke up with a hang over and to the beautiful sunshine of Pismo Beach.

Spotted Nimo all alone by the ocean.

Shavi started walking towards Nimo for some reason.

Oh no wonder, it was Shavi’s turn on the rotation.

Nimo was snapping Hayle wash her hair in the ocean. This didn’t seem like a good idea..

It’s Fun To Finish Two Bottles of The Liter Sized Hennesy in One Night.

Pismo looks so amazing when you’re just standing in the desert.

Aaron’s 4 Runner and Angelo’s Xterra.

Aaron was scared of going up this hill. He ended up getting stuck.

So did Chivas somehow…

From slammed cars to rock climbers.

Ending it with Nimo’s majestic whale pose.

Kevin’s Pandem E36 | Car Feature

Dax from the Street Sweeper Gnag hit me up to get in contact with Kevin to shoot his E36. As the gigantic leech I am, I came along to sneak in some shots of Kevin’s E36.

Dax doing his magic.

Damn this thing is a beauty.

Man do I love golden hour shots.

Vintage summer look.

My favorite shot.

Princess Choi’s Birthday | EMC Dinner

We had a birthday dinner for Sara at EMC Seafood. As in Minh fashion, I came late and trolled her that I was at the LA one because she lived closer to that area.

Abbitt stretched the legs on his Porsche tonight.

Sara can drink six shots without barfing now. Meanwhile, I can only drink one.

EMC has some great seafood munchies.

I’ve taken more photos of Sara than anyone ever. Yup, even more than my family members…

Now kith.

Sara loves the cupcakes that Krstina and Julia got her.

So much that she that she rubbed it on her face.

Sara Choi in real life all the time.

AW Stickers delivers stickers in their company Porsche.

Fuck Thieves tee still available on our online store! SHOP.ROYAL-ORIGIN.COM

I wanna wish the happiest of birthdays to my good friend Sara. Thank you for your years of friendship. I’m glad I have a friend that was down to fight Abbitt’s EX at Drai’s Night Club because you thought she was trying to fight me. Love ya and you need to show me around Hawaii soon fuck.

Tebo Meet Up | Daily Life

Late post as fuck, like last year late. These are some photos of my days during the fall season. Fall season means cold winds in SoCal and visitors from all over the world visiting because they were in the West Coast for SEMA. Koi had a friend visiting from Japan and decided to throw a little meet for his friend to see some USDM Japanese cars.

Rodney’s Cressida and my IS250, Weird that we’re not car pooling.

Wide classic Porsche on BBS RS and some thick tires.

Sang’s Cayman on Fifteen 52’s.

What a beauty. I wish I shot this with a steadier hand.

Super clean S13.

Sang the MY.IS troll.

Brian Cho’s S2000 with a sick Advan livery.

After the meet we met up with Nimo, Jason, Sparkle and Vu at Jimmy and Erik at Jade Phoenix Collective. Make sure you check them out here.. Jade Phoenix Collective.They always have the best of the best here and they sell HOODRATstuff lighters. We can’t ship lighters, so if you want one you’re gonna have to go here for them.

We went to Sparkle’s house to chill and check out how his S13 was doing.

Sparkle was going back to Taiwan for a couple of months, so we wont’ be seeing this car for a while.

Have a safe trip back to Taiwan, we’ll miss you Sparkle!

A RO Christmas | Family Time is the Best Time

I can’t believe it’s already been six years. Six years of Christmas party with the Royal Origin family and it’s never been a dull time. We went from having these parties at my mom’s place in this small living room that could barely fit 6 people to renting houses to throw an all night basher.

The RO wreath that Rocky and Tina made last year is still alive. Thanks Rocky and Tina for decorating the house again!

We caught a poor fella outside the house and invited him to come join us.

Shavi has the ultimate stance when it comes to beer pong.

Rodney the bar tender taking care of our homeless friend.

He ended up being a good MC. Sara’s face tho…

Sara had to get some OOTD photos before she got ratchet.

Let the shots begin…

Rodney and the homeless guy ended up being really good friends.

You know what’s on Krstina’s mind.

Yup…

“Bitch, let me put down my ice cream” – Sara

Sara knows which camera is the most expensive.

Krstina moved on from Sophia…

Shavi getting his nipples sucked on by Clinton.

Krstina showing Julia how to model.

Sophia is the type to drown your liver in alcohol.

Then sober you up just to force you to drink again..

Angelo can’t feel his legs.

“After I’m done with Sara, you’re next”

John bored as fuck because he can’t drink because of his diet. Maybe, next year John..

Merry Christmas from Royal Origin to you. We hope you guys had a good 2016 and if you didn’t there’s always 2017 to make up for it.

714 to Shavi’s Birthday | Daily Life

Finally getting my life organized after moving to a new place. Glad to say I reached my goal of buying a house this year, it’s not much, but hopefully me and my wife will build our dream home one day. I also started working at 714 Tires, so my schedule is little bit hard to get use to. Let me give you a quick glimpse of my daily life…

6AM I wake up to let my dog out to pee. This gang of cats wait outside every morning to get a chance to bang my wife’s cat.

Just collecting dust everyday…

I feel like when I say I’m done with my car, there’s always something more I want to do. I don’t know why, but my car looks plain to me.

Came into work at 714 Tires and everyone was hard at working installing suspension arms left and right. Hit them up if you guys need any coil overs or suspension arm installations!

Jason recently got a RB20 from Ben at Greddy. He’s planning to put this thing in his S13 coupe.

Tightlox lug nuts, another venture for the RO bros. Available at 714 tires and soon on our online store.

Later that night, we celebrated Shavi’s birthday at Star BBQ.

Happy Birthday to our favorite Sri Lankan!

RO Friendsgiving | Family Time

This season of being thankful, we are thankful that Abbitt and Krstina decided to host our first RO Friendsgiving. We planned out a pot luck with the most gorgeous variety of food made with love and with us it’s always a fun time when we’re all in one room.

Don’t count your chips, share them.

If you were a guest at Krstina’s house, she had a shot with your name on it.

The Luong family came down for Friendsgiving, I’m always happy to see the faces of the people who are beating me in Fantasy Football.

I was happy to see Shavi rocking the sweater I got for him last Christmas.

Aimee is hungry and she’s ready for something Phat.

Pre-game for the huge feast.

Stuffing, mash potatoes, julienne and three different types of mac and cheese.

Meanwhile… Kobe was getting it on with Maui.

Beastiality sex always brings smiles.

Henry acting like he doesn’t enjoy it.

Clintoff.

When the shot gets you good.

They placed the tallest guy under the light at the table.

Vinh and Cindy announced that they’re getting married and announced their groomsmen and bridesmaids. Congrats to Vinh and Cindy!

Back to feasting.

There isn’t a photo here where Krstina isn’t holding a shot cup.

Abbitt is the real Anti-Social Social Club.

Rodney’s POV, when your socks cost more than the ramen packet.

5 girls one egg roll.

Vu did a sick bottle flip on top of a Jenga tower, so sick that Nimo yacked all over Abbitt’s living room.

I want to give a big thank you to Abbitt and Krstina again for hosting our firs RO Friendsgiving! Even though 2016 was a tough year for some, I just want to say that we still had a lot to be thankful for from Krstina getting a job in SoCal and buying a home with Abbitt to Cindy saying yes to Vinh, but what I am most thankful for is Karl Benz. Karl Benz is the person who invented the first true automobile. Without him, I would not have the love for cars that I have now, I wouldn’t have met the people in Royal Origin and I wouldn’t have the amazing friends I have today. Thank you Karl Benz and science for a wonderful life.

Greddy Garage Sale | Event Coverage

Garage sales are always fun to check out because you never know what kind of treasures you’re going to find for cheap. Greddy had a garage sale for the ages with turbos to Rocket Bunny body kits for sale on the low. This was every car tuners dream especially if you owned a FRS because Greddy had a truck full of spare FRS parts because of their two race cars. We were invited to check out a preview of what they were going to have for sale and put some things on hold if we wanted.

While exploring all the cool car parts and accessories at the sale, it got us thinking—what’s the point of scoring all these treasures if your garage isn’t up to par? A solid, reliable garage door is a must-have for car enthusiasts, ensuring your prized possessions stay safe and sound.

Speaking of garage doors, one issue that often sneaks up on homeowners is when the door starts opening on its own. It might seem like a small nuisance at first, but it could indicate bigger problems, like interference, faulty wiring, or worn-out components.

If you’ve ever noticed this happening, it’s worth digging deeper. For more info here, check out this blog post that dives into the reasons behind a garage door behaving erratically and how to address it. After all, just like your car needs a fine-tuned engine to perform at its best, your garage door deserves the same level of care to ensure it operates smoothly and keeps everything inside secure.

If your garage door has started acting up, especially if it’s opening on its own, the issue might be with the opener. The opener is the heart of the garage door system, and when it starts to malfunction, you’ll notice more than just a few odd openings. Worn-out parts, outdated technology, or simple interference can lead to misbehaving doors, and that’s where professional help comes in. Garage Door Repair Tempe offers specialized opener repair services that can quickly diagnose the problem, replace any faulty components, and get your door back to functioning like new.

Ignoring issues with your opener can lead to further damage, potentially costing more in the long run. Whether the problem is a sensor issue, electrical interference, or a malfunctioning motor, it’s essential to address it as soon as possible. A reliable garage door opener isn’t just about convenience—it’s about ensuring the safety of your property and the protection of your vehicle. With the right repair service, your garage door will run smoothly, and you won’t have to worry about unexpected openings or other disruptions.
