To all my fellow Spartans (and site visitors)

Sorry I’m a little slow with getting these photos out! I’m a subscriber to the Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom ecosystem, and I’ll admit—I’m pretty "anal" when it comes to my edits.

Currently, I’m experimenting with balancing high-end quality with smaller file sizes so the site stays fast without losing the photo sharpness. 

I’ve chosen to share the full gallery here on PinoyBuilt for two main reasons:

1. Inclusivity: Not everyone is on Facebook or Instagram, and I want everyone to be able to see these.
2. Building Community: This platform is a living archive. By hosting here, I can grow our community on the open web (and yes, it helps support the site via Google Ads rather than feeding the Facebook algorithm!).

Mabuhay! Join the Conversation.

PinoyBuilt is more than a blog—it’s a living archive of the Filipino-American experience. Did these memories of Hogan High and catching up in Stockton resonate with you?

We’d love to hear from you: What’s your favorite high school memory? Drop a comment below!
