" Today, I had to match up some pictures in Malibu at the Neptune's Net for a vlog, Since I had to drive all the way down to Malibu, I thought why not do a video about Malibu. I went to many movie locations: Karate Kid, Point Break, Iron Man, The Fast & The Furious. And I went To Paradise Cove where Britney Spears did her music videos. Sometimes, I also matched up some pictures well, Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 were doing a photo shoot on the beach next to a Ferrari."
