BEAUTiFUL ESCAPADE

“The Moon is smiling at me again tonight.” So begins the journey of Rick Dueñas, a 26-year old Guam native living off the island for close to a decade. After graduating from college in California, he moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of a common dream, yet has grown to appreciate other dreams, both in his thoughts and reality. Thanks to his studies, Rick strongly identifies himself as a multicultura...l person, and finds passion in expressing that awareness to the world via his traveling blog. It seems that he’s got his life all figured out, but a particular girl(s) and a recent trip home faces him against his biggest complexity…love. And as these “coming-of-age” circumstances succeed to be troubling, Rick strives to find balance and truth with the help from his philosophical mentor, hooligan friends, and another unlikely companion…the Moon.
