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!

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.

Super Ill | Event Coverage

Super Street and Illest recently had a collaboration meet in Buena Park with all the hype surrounding the meet we decided to check out the big event. Before rolling into the meet, I decided to meet up with some old friends to caravan together into the meet.

It’s been a while since I was apart of a big caravan to go to a car meet. It was very nostalgic.

Robros Customs GTR now on RVL wheels.

First time ever parking side by side with the GTR in all my years working with the RO bros.

Everyone setting up their cars in the VIP spots.

The sky was so epic during the meet.

Karl rolling up fashionably late in his Ferrari 360.

Sang starting the Porsche line up.

Finally got to see the VIP Modular Liberty Walk Ferrari in person. Wow, this thing is amazing.

Spot light for this Liberty Walk GTR on Rotiform SPF.

Only the best of the best cars were up at the top floor of the parking structure.

Rockety Bunny RC by Auto Drop.

Still a long line of sick cars rolling into the structure.

At the peak of the car meet there was barely any room to even move your car around that you could barely move your car to park.

Rocket Bunny NSX on Volk TE-37s.

RWB Meduas. It wouldn’t be a car meet without a RWB Porsche there. Crazy how this would blow people’s minds just a couple of years ago. Now everybody has something wide body.

Phaze 2 RC and FRS.

A ridiculous amount of people showed up. I haven’t been to a car meet that drew this many attendees in a long time.

Chris getting some fan love.

Wide Lexon GS on Weds LXZs.

More of Jerald’s RC on Work Meister L1.

The only wide body here made out of metal. #2legit2quit

The traffic leaving was so overwhelming that it took us 2 hours just to leave the structure.

At the end of the 2 hour wait, we were greeted by a crowd of enthusiasts to get a quick glimpse of the hundreds of cars that were in the structure.

Thank you to Super Street and Illest for having us! I can’t wait for the next one.

Japan in Cali | Ryo’s Return

Ryo had a lay over in LA before his journey back to Tokyo and he decided to hang out with us the night before his flight. So some of us met up to get dinner at 4th Street Market.

All homo, but this photo is probably the cutest photo I’ve seen of my friends.

Miguel met us up in his presidential SUV.

Vu’s Civic on Gram Lights and Nimo’s wagon on Ambit wheels aka Ambit Wilkersons.

When you realize the founders of Royal Origin actually have modified cars.

After the meet, we stopped by my house to chill and because Ryo and Miguel were staying over.

My dog Kiki making sure Miguel doesn’t eat all of my snacks.

Miguel and Ryo cleaning out my shed.

It was fun hanging with you Ryo even though it was only a couple of hours. We’ll see again in January!

The Unveiling | IDLDesign USA

It seems like every year I’m always going through a mundane cycle. Every year I would be attending the same shows and see nothing different in the car scene. This year however I haven’t been to any shows, so everything looks crazy to me. Something crazy in particular was floating around the internet weeks before SEMA was a render of Mikey from Phaze 2/IDL Design’s Porsche in a new body kit by Old New JP. The design got rid of the Porsche’s headlights and added some vents to the front fender with all of the lights being mounted on the front bumper. To be honest, the render did not look good at all when I first saw it, but when Mikey invited us to come out to the unveiling BBQ, we saw something completely different than the basic render.

We got to witness the first Old New JP Porsche in the states. This car is so well put together from the fitment of the wheels to the interior setup. Everything is literally on point.
