Flashback: Tita Lila's Birthday in Las Vegas Family is forever.  August 11, 2001. Tess, Baby Nica and I met the titas in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the second year Tess & Tita Lila had an August celebration together in Vegas. The first one was 1999.  My dad drove Nica & her parents to Oakland Airport. Nica's First Time in Las Vegas We stayed in Monte Carlo Hotel (?) The titas were the first ones to find out that Baby Jian was on his way I think one of them made a comment that Tess looked a little heavy (they might've been wondering already).  I'll post our photos from 8/12 and 8/13 in the next couple days. Please come back. 💬 Your Turn! Do you have a favorite family flashback? Share it with us in the comments!

I love this dude! Like me, JR was born in the Philippines. But in the beginning of his comedy special, he mentioned that he migrated with his family when he was only one. I've been following JR on his socials and watching his comedy videos. I hope he blows up like Jokoy. Follow and support this Fil-Am. "I’m Your Son, Papa" is JR De Guzman’s debut one-hour stand-up special filmed live in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. In this special, JR shares and sings the true stories of his Filipino-American upbringing, filled with laughter, love, and the complexities of family life. From R&B songs about Asian masculinity and representation to smooth sultry songs about division in America, this special will heal you and heal the world (JR wrote this part, and demanded that it stay in the description). Congratulations JR De Guzman! 🇵🇭🇺🇸 Mabuhay! 🇵🇭 October is Filipino American History Month. Throughout all of October, we'll not only be highlighting present-day Filipi...
