Lights Out

Ok, so this weekend was a "Super Saturday" event in Cerritos for World Financial Group. They had the #60 car there from NASCAR which is driven by Carl Edwards who is #1 in the point standings. Not that I'm into NASCAR, but I consider it free advertising for my business. My friend and mentor Jun DeLa Cruz from the "Cruzaders" put on the event and it was an awesome event.












I met a gentleman named Shawn Villalovos who
spoke at the event and truly inspired me to
do better in my life. He is somebody who through hard work and the right vehicle has helped thousands of families change their lives for the better. He has also been extremely successful financially in business. He has a great family life and he could retire today at the age of 30 and never have to work again and make $1 million a year, but he chooses to continue to give back and help others. This guy is a Stud!!



After the event was over there was an opportunity for us to give to a good cause. Presbyterian Hospital was there for a blood drive and I wanted to participate. They say that everytime you give blood you can help 3-4 people. So I decided to donate a pint of my blood. This was my first time giving blood and everything was going fine. I finished my donation of a pint and was feeling ok. I stood up to go get my juice and snacks and started to feel really light headed. Luckily I had sat down and was drinking my juice, when all of a sudden I wake up with people all around me putting cold compresses on my forehead and fanning me with air. I had fainted, and it was quite an interesting feeling. It felt like waking up from a dream, and not knowing where you are. For those of you that have fainted before you know what I'm talking about. So I found out afterwards that if you are going to donate blood it's good to eat a good sized breakfast before hand. I had eaten a little bite of Johnny's banana in the morning and ran out the door. I didn't have enough food in me and my body told me so. I encourage you all to donate at the next blood drive that is near you. Just make sure you have eaten before you do so or it's lights out.
