The Story So Far...

While I went MIA from blogging, I did many things…from co-directing a student film, to freelancing as a production assistant, to organizing a Korean language group. I let go and let flow and in so doing, I met the true love of my life…and now I work full time as a video editor, I started my Mary Kay business and I’m engaged to be married next year. This is the story so far…

A couple of weeks ago, the desire to start writing came back to me. So here I am. I wanted to write about my love story and never got around to it. But the other day, my sweet Korean prince sent me a text that had me melting in an instant of joy. He is so sweet, cute and funny…and I wanted to share that moment with everyone…wanted to save that moment forever…so here I am again… and this is the text that made me want to start blogging once more.

Monkey Boy: "Hey im a shy korean boy that would have a dinner date tonight with a beautiful latina"

Beautiful: "Can you please send me a pic? I’ll let you know if I’m interested then."

I waited for his next text, wondering what kind of picture he would send me. Moments later, my cell vibrates. Sure enough, he had texted me a picture. I anxiously opened it and what I saw made me smile so much I kissed the phone thinking of how cute he is.



Monkey Boy: U like?

Beautiful: "OMG you’re so cute and funny…of course I’ll go out to dinner with you!"

It is such little things like this one...the ones that make me fall head-over-heels in love for him all over again...

I Will Be Back!

I think it's been two years since I haven't updated my blog...but I want to start writing again...so I WILL!!! (^_^) I have so much to tell...since my last post...so keep checking...'cause I'll be back!

Space Pirates on the way!

Hahaha...I haven't written here in soooo long...not that anyone cares about it...but let's see...right now I have uber busy being the costume designer for our 16 mm production of Space Pirates at Full Sail...and helping build the set and coming up with the make-up for the characters and soon to be working as the script supervisor in the production....so you can imagine!!!

Here are some pics I took from the costume fittings and the set...enjoy!

An excuse for dressing up...

Everyone knows that I have never celebrated "Halloween", but since I love dressing up I couldn't pass the opportunity to wear one of my anime costumes...and we had to see little Noah dressed up as Superman too!!! (^_-)v



Johnathan and me as Kyo and Kagura.




Josann, her cute baby boy Noah as Superman and me.



Noah was adorable in his Superman costume! (^_-)v



Oh my...look at his cape! (^^) Chou kawaii!

The 1st Make-Up Lab...

Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

So happy to report about the 1st make-up lab...I never thought I would be excited about the make-up for film class...but I find so exciting to emulate things I like...and that's what we've been inspired to do...

I thank God that I ended up picking a good partner...Johnathan..and I'm so proud of his work...I asked him to do Satine's make-up...and I think John accomplished the look with a little bit of my guidance...but for a guy who has never held a make-up brush in his life...it was amazing!

Since we were doing "basic film make-up" today...there was not much I could do to him, but make him look pretty...hehehe Because John's face structure reminds me of Hugh Jackman, I tried to go for his look as "Leopold" in "Kate & Leopold".

Other characters we've been talking about: Count Olaf, Edward Scissorhands, Geisha/Harajuku Girl, Ganguro Gal, Ank Su Namun, Captain Hook and Loius the Vampire...we'll see...I'll keep posting pictures of our attempts! (^_-)v Cool cool class indeed!

24/7

I know I know...since we just bougth tickets for Rain's Coming World Tour I should be posting something about Rain...but since I haven't been able to get my hands on Rain's latest Japanese Album Eternal Rain...I thought I'd put up "I Wanna" from fellow Korean singer Se7en who has also released a Japanese album called 24/7...My friend Mary shared her new found love of Se7en with me...hehehe...even though I think Se7en's music is cool too...I can't compare it to our baby Rain's music...can't wait to get his CD!!! But for now...enjoy Se7en! (^_-)v

Same Direction

"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction." Antoine de Saint-Exuperyhi

I found this quote and thought it was so right...I smile as I wait on God to bring me close to that person who will be looking in the same dierction as me.

My drug of choice...

I recently watch a film called "Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School" which was both entertaining and very interesting to watch. I loved how the film has three stories running at the same time...and especially sympathized with what one of the characters, Marianne Hotchkiss, told another character about dance:

"Dance is a very powerful drug, Mr. Keane. If embraced judiciously, it can exorcise demons, access deep-seated emotion and color your life in joyous shades of brilliant magenta that you never knew existed."

I totally agreed on this one...I've always said that dancing, especially swing dancing in my case, always makes me so happy...it sure gives me a high and like a drug it's addictive. Too bad for me that I haven't been dancing in a while...I miss it a lot. Another reason why I can't wait to be with someone who loves to dance...so we can be each other's dance partner and together fly high to the rhythm of the music. Someday.
