Since the worldwide launch of the new Samsung Jet mobile phone, I've made my way back to California once again.  If you'd like to see more about this amazing launch with 3D holographic technology, then surf on over to:

Usually, I return back to SoCal to spend time with family and friends.  This time, however, I intend to get a better idea of what Hollywood is all about.  I know it won't be easy, but I've always wanted to better understand the center of the entertainment industry here so there's no better time than now. 

So...it's time to set up some meetings and see what I can learn before I have to work in Asia again or race around the world! 

On another note, here's a great article I read about cancer and how to keep cancer on the sidelines and off the pitch...or YOUR playing field. 

Tell me if you think this is valid or not!

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :

1.  Every person has cancer cells in the body.. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2.  Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3.  When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4.  When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies.  These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5.  To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6.  Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7.  Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8.  Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size.  However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9.  When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10.  Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11.  An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.


WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a.  Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color.  Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b.  Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract.  Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.

c.  Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d.  A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day.  Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e.  Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.  Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12.  Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become purified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13.  Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14.  Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Florssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15.  Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit.  Learn to relax and enjoy life..

16.  Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.  Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level.  Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

A friend of mine sent me these pictures where someone (or something) else steals the show so make sure you double check your viewfinder!

Stealing Your Kodak Moment...Priceless!! 

Last night in Singapore, I helped "unpack" the newest addition to the Samsung Mobile range with the Jet.  The entire event was one amazing affair, and of all the product launches I have ever attended, this one is definitely one of the biggest and most memorable.  In fact, the similar event also took place in London and Dubai on the same day with even more countries to follow for introducing the Samsung Jet. 
I am sure you are wondering why Samsung would invest so much money to promote this phone, but once you start reading the specs and understanding what it can do, I think you'll realize that Samsung is really excited about this bad boy. 
In fact, I even flew to London last week to learn some 3D holographic technology for the presentation I did last night at the launch.  Actually, it was my first time to London so I was hoping to stay longer.  Unfortunately, it was only a one day affair, but I did manage to order up some carnitas burriotos at Benito's Hat, which wasn't too bad.  I didn't have high expectations for Mexican food in the UK so it was a pleasant surprise...and it's still miles (or should I say kilometers) better than Singapore! 
I'm trying to get my hands on some of the video from the presentation I did last night so you can see how amazing the presentation was utilizing the 3D holographic technology.  Basically, I'm waving my hands around (like Tom Cruise did in "Minority Report") where holographic images hover and fly around in the air before the audience.  Pretty cool stuff. 
I won't get into the specifics of the new Samsung Jet, but here's a press release which highlights some of the crazy cool features such as the 800 Megahertz application processor and AMOLED display if you wanna check it out:

I think to most of us, a phone is just a phone.  But the people at Samsung have really stepped it up a couple of notches in really showing me what you can really do with the most advanced technlogy for a mobile phones.  Looks like the time is ripe for that fruit phone to quickly harvest and whip out its newest version fast!!

Well, it was that time of year again for me, and I'd like to thank all my family, friends, and fans for all their birthday wishes.  Another year has flown by, and I ain't certainly getting any younger.  However, I can always look back at some earlier versions of me to always put a smile back on my face.  Here's a shot of me from way back before I was racing around anywhere...

Yeah, I am sure those are real tears too cuz I don't think I could act...yet.  I am not sure why I was crying, but maybe it was because I was bummed out I couldn't look directly at the school photographer...

...I remember he said it's cuz the lenses from my coke bottles reflected too much of the flash.  Luckily, the camera is a lot more forgiving nowadays when you live a somewhat healthy life...and there's Adobe Photoshop to touch up anything (and everything!)

Now, I was thinking about getting a bunch of friends together once again for another "Birthday Bash" like last year, but I actually got tied up with work on my birthday for the third year in a row.  In fact, I spent all my birthday on a plane ride back to Singapore from London for an exciting new product that Samsung is planning to "unpack" in three different location at the same time:  Singapore, Dubai, and London.  And from what I've seen and heard, iPhone better watch out!
Since I wasn't able to get the crew together for another beat down, fellow AnD artist Jimmy T sent me this hilarious clip of what could've been.  Just watch Todd Bridges ("Willis" from Different Strokes) give a spank down on our favorite white rapper, Vanilla Ice!  Sorry...Eminem!!
Enjoy!!

P.S.~I think Vanilla Ice would still spank Marshall Mather's butt though!  You??

Wow.  This year is flying by pretty fast, and a lot of people have been asking me what's going on with the fourth season of The Amazing Race Asia, aka TARA4?  Good question.
To answer that, some final "pieces" of this production jigsaw puzzle are in motion.  Now, it's just a matter of time before we get the final piece of news that TARA4 is either on or not.
And once everything is confirmed and official, I will be sure to let you all know first!
In the meantime, I caught up with some TARA2 alumni over the weekend, Marc and Rovilson from Team Philippines...

And of course, they insisted on taking a picture of them hollering "Base, Base" like they did throughout the race after each leg they won...

Hah!  Some things never change...which can be a great thing! 
...maybe now might also be a good time to just start thinkin about who might be a good partner to race with YOU??
