Flashback: February 2004 This was Ronick's birthday party in Concord, CA . My picture files do not have the date/timestamp (it happened from time to time with my Olympus C3000) but I'm guessing this was the Saturday after Ronick's bday. So it's February 21, 2004 most likely. Look at Clarissa and Dominic ! Perseveranda Cousins Left to right: Vince, Garry, Melvin, J.F., Glenn & Paul. I joined Facebook in Septmber 2007, so I have tons of photos I haven't posted there. But I will be posting to this blog/website going forward. I'd rather make $$$ for Pinoybuilt instead of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. 😉 Please visit often, and leave a comment. Please click to follow our website/blog PINOYBUILT.com
