Just doing what everyone does before taking off in their nissan rogue… a choreographed dance routine. . 🦄: @cheymami

Just thank you for your life. This beautiful light of a person was always an inspiration and support to Keone and I through the years. He opened doors and gave visibility to the dance community. Watching him grow, have a fruitful career, find love and family all while remaining connected to his art is an incredible thing. I know most people know him from the big big things he did, but I can’t help but think of these old blurry boogiezone videos and the person humbly at the core. Just doing what you love and sharing it with others. Our hearts are with you @allisonholker and your children.
Silent burdens can be overwhelming. That is a terrifying truth that some of us manage to survive. That ledge is very real and usually very private. You never know what people are quietly carrying. Lean on each other, life is precious. We’re going to miss you down here tWitch.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NUMAH!

Happy 3 to our little Numi. You are the absolute, without a doubt, no comparison, “most excellent” (as Bill & Ted say), totally amazing, really… just the best part of our lives. Your light is so big. We still can’t believe we get to be your parents. As you like to ask us now, “are you happy?” Yes. So happy. And always so happy to be your backup dancers. We love you. Shine mama shine ✨

10 YEARS!
Yesterday we celebrated 10 years of marriage. Holy cannoli. What feels like an eternity (probably because we work together too), but has also flashed by.
Marriage has been what it’s promised to be for us. Beautiful, difficult, and earned. You have the base of love that your relationship was built on in the first place, then you build a life together brick by brick. Yes, it will be tough and enduring, however, it will be something you’ve created together, something that you have the choice to take joy and pride in each day. It’s an accumulation of the daily choice to learn, accept, and believe in a person, in all situations – the silliness, the friendship, the fighting, the bad breath in the morning, the disagreements on rug colors, the booty love taps when we walk by each other – that and more… is love.
Thank you to our tight circle of family and close friends for always being there to encourage us, hold us accountable, and believe in us. Marriages are a couple’s connection and work, but it’s also held up by the people who surround you. We’re so grateful for God’s love that encloses us and protects us. One decade down for these Madrids, much more to go.
My Grandma Loling (yes Loling) touching US soil for the first time in 1953, at 27 years old. My Grandpa Candido is facing her. He was 17 years her senior and a steward for the US Merchant Marines. He originally came to the US in 1928, at 19 years old as a farm laborer first in Hawaii, then north of Sacramento, CA. Looking at old records, we were/are the exact same height and weight, my heart swells.
My Grandpa holed up in an Italian family’s barn through the Great Depression. When he first came to the US, family legend has it he would walk the streets with an ice pick in his suit as protection. Apparently it was common for Filipinos back then because not all parts of town were friendly for them. Back in the PI, my Grandma hid from Japanese soldiers during the occupation during WWII, dodging bayonets that would pierce through the walls of their bamboo homes. She started high school at 20 because the war paused her education. These are just some snippets of their stories.
What I have now, is because of what they achieved, endured, and built. I am so grateful to be Filipino American and proud to come from people of absolute RESILIENCE. Thank you Lola and Lolo for paving the way for the generations that follow you. Sharing because these stories are our history – hard-earned and we are the keepers. Happy Filipino American History Month y’all! #filipinoamericanhistorymonth

Last week my great grandma turned 100 and not only that, she danced, she partied, and she gambled afterward. A real life 🐐

“Oh there you are Peter!”
Keone, Keone,
you’re 34.
Can you believe it?
33 no more.
Now it’s your Shaq year baby!
Legendary Laker, 7’1”,
Maybe if you keep drinking your protein…
I think you’ll get there hon.
Nah, sorry kid.
The NBA wasn’t meant for you,
you’ve got other fish to fry,
they simply don’t have a clue.
But really if I had a choice,
Between Kevin Durant and you,
I’d keep you on my team any day,
…Because let’s be honest… we’re 14 years into our relationship and I still don’t know that much about basketball – it’s true.
I will choose you every time,
You’re my favorite Pokémon,
You’re so tentacool and not tentacruel,
A ninetail with the beauty and the brawn.
To say I am proud,
Or to say that I’m in love,
Wouldn’t do you justice,
Because you’re a gift from above.
Watching you grow over the years,
Is one of my favorite things,
From crush to boyfriend, finance, husband, co-parent?
Unending joy it brings.
But really my favorite is just being friends,
You still make laugh with your jokes,
You still crack me up with your weird scream mask face,
And talk to me in Anchorman quotes.
You’re the Mindflayer to my Vecna.
Or the Vecna to my Mindflayer?
Either way Numah’s our little Demogorgan,
Let’s just raise her to be a cosplayer.
She’s probably too cool for that.
Let’s just raise her to be 11 y’all,
We can trap her in a creepy government facility and do tests on her,
That won’t backfire at all!
But you really are my favorite,
Driven like Nancy Wheeler – that debonair,
As badass and honest as Max,
And as beautifully unkempt as Steve Harrington’s hair.
You make me happy like Dustin and Suzie,
singing the theme song to Never Ending Story,
You complete me both here AND in the Upside Down,
Our lives are never boring.
(And when they are it’s perfect.)
*A moment of silence for Barb.*
All of these pop-culture references to say,
You’re simply the best,
Do you hear Tina Turner in your head now?
Better than all the rest.
(You also know how to install a faucet. Super hot.)
I love you. Happy Birthday.
