Why you don’t mess with your makeup artist.

So here’s a random mini fun project I was involved with recently. Directed by Alfred Hsing (kind of, cuz’ he wasn’t present for the whole thing :P) in collaboration with Lina Okazaki, Leonard Xu, and Nicole Mayeda.

The sad thing is… I actually think I look better after even though I’m supposed to look worse. Is that kinda twisted? Haha.

Food… Facebook… Fast.

Nice. This food blog, Serious Eats blogged about the soy sauce commercial I’m in. Thanks to t...Read more

Alive Not Dead!

Uh… so I’m REALLY tardy with my recap on the AnD mixer that happened in LA a few weekends back. I was totally going to put together a mini vid from the event (I might come around to it still)… but Sam and Justice have one up, so you don’t need mine:

Anyway, a few things:

If you’re not on Alive Not Dead yet, you should get on it!...Read more

Soy Sauce!

Mmm… soy sauce. Here’s a random story for y’all…

So I used to have a darker skin tone. In fact, I was a pretty dark baby. If you saw my baby and toddler pics, you’d totally see what I mean. My mom has told me that the reason why I came out so dark was cuz’ she used to consume a lot of soy sauce (har har, very funny, Mom). Anyway, sometime after Junior High, after I stopped playing outdoor sports, I started getting pale. I guess the only tan I was getting was that from the computer monitor… o_O

Anyway! Fast forward to now. I...Read more

Featured on YouTube!

I first received a text from Bobby aka Big Phony about being featured on the front page of YouTube and then all of a sudden people started IM’ing, emailing, and messaging me on FB about it! Craaazy.

I must say, I feel like I won the lottery or something. Many prop...Read more

Kollaboration 9

I’m pretty excited about it. Last year’s show at the Orpheum was pretty off the hook and really blew my mind cuz’ it was just a whole ‘nother level from the past years I’d seen the show. Last year, also, I got to be a guest judge at the Acoustic show which was at the Ford Amphitheatre… and I was just super impressed with the quality of APA talent that’s out there now.

So this year, I am REALLY excited. It’s gonna be at THE SHRINE. A HUGE jump from the Orpheum! Wow. They have a very solid lineup including Read more

Pray for Hideo

I just found out that a friend of a friend, DJ Hideo, was diagnosed with a Level 4 colon cancer. Doctors are saying it’s too late. Right now, it looks that it’s gonna take a miracle from above for Hideo to heal from this and I pray that one comes! Please pray with us. For Hideo, for his family, for his friends…
