Hello all you beards!



I've been a lurker for about a week now. A week ago was the last time I shaved and have been talking constantly, with my buddy with a great beard, about growing one of my own! I soon found this board of beards and became even more inspired. I've been going through pages of progress posts and it makes me happy to see so many people so determined. I've read the rules of beard acquisition and so far, it's the main reason why I havent shaved yet. Usually I can only go about a week before shaving, so I've already passed my own record I will try for the 4-6 weeks, then see where it what it looks like then before I dive into the 3 months.
Anyway, I'm 21 years old, half white half filipino. My dad (White Australian) claims to have english, welsh, scottish ancestry. I can see little bits of red/blonde in my stubble which may show that, but I'm unsure. I'm hoping for the hollywoodian but am unsure I can get that as my cheekline has little to no growth. Because this is the longest I've gone without shaving, I didn't realize my moustache would connect. One side, however, doesn't really connect. I'm also hoping for side burns and more on the cheek! I do have some little vellus hairs on my cheeks but thats it.
Here are my WEEK 1 photos. What can you see in my beard's future?
