If you’ve been anywhere shopping during the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed the signs of another holiday drawing near.

It’s Halloween!
For all those CSUF students who love the thrill of being frightened by zombies, ghosts, and serial killers, we know a couple of local places you can check out this season.  Of course, nothing really beats the massive attraction that is Knott’s Scary Farm.  But maybe you want more personal attention from your zombie and desire a place with less …

There’s this Tagalog phrase, “ISANG BAGSAK!” which you’ll hear a lot of the Filipino clubs shout in solidarity.  It means “One Fall”.  We’ve seen the Filipino-American community come together all across America to provide relief for the people affected by Typhoon Ondoy and everything that has followed after.  We’ve seen the whole YouTube community come together to raise money through uStream shows, benefit concerts pop up all over the place, people donate money for each of their Twitter followers, food/clothing drives – you name it, it’s happened over the past …

The feeling of air going through your hair, the rush of a turbo, and the force of taking a turn – ahh…the sensations that driving a car can give you. Don’t you just love ‘em?
Cars are such a big part of our lives, especially here in Orange County, that I’m really happy that we are a center for anything regarding the automobile – from being HQ to some car companies like Kia and Mazda, and to holding some great weekly events like Cars and Coffee.
Well, we have two more events …

Meow that we’ll share later, but in the meantime, you MUST tune in tonight.
