While most of his family lives in New York City or the Philippines, Paolo has family members living in over seven states.

Friends

They include, but are not limited to, Evan and Jeremy Axelrad, Melanie Cappicione, Jorge Cubas, Caitlin and Kyle Gilbride, Hayden Lees, Josh Levy, Rafael Roy, Rachel Smith, and Ksenia Yachmetz.  These, however, are not the only members of the Friday Group, nor is the group exclusive.  These members hang out the most often, and are noted for the sake of convenience.  Countless other members drift in and out of the group.

A common link between almost all members is their participation in the weblog community, LiveJournal.
