Sneak Peeks and Battles against Noodles
Thursday, Jun 4, 2009 1:51PM / Standard Entry
so i went out to try the Orochan Spicy Noodle challenge in J-town,
which i had been bitching about for like a week that if its just spicy, then its nothing but willpower
then it came out, and looked like that, but it was also bigger than a normal ramen bowl... WTF.
it actually was LESS spicy than i thought it was going to be, less spicy at least, than some of the food that i had had when i was in china... oh yeah, it fucking got in my eye too.
after only like 10 min, all the noodles were gone, just broth and a lot of peppers
so i was rocking right? then the worst thing happened... i got full... FULL!!! if its just spicy, its all about willpower. thats what i believe. but i got physically full.. this other guy tried it too and had the same problem, it wasnt the spice, it was the quantity. whatever, i still lost and still felt like a loser.
Goddamn it. but at least you know what? my ass didnt hurt at all later on.

DAMN!!! you dont sign onto AnD for a week and you miss out on a LOOOOOTTT of stuff!
As a quick recap I've been most busy lately working on new project with the team. I'm producing a short for us that Malay is directing and thats been taking a lot of my time and energy ESPECIALLY over the weekends... RIDICULOUS shooting schedules I tell ya. but if the dailies show anything so far, it'll be WORTH IT!
I've been wanting to update, and its really easy to, but have you also noticed that the easiest things to do are also the easiest things NOT to do. How many times have you tried going to the post office to drop off ONE letter only to skip it to tomorrow? Funny no?
My sister Jenny told me a joke that was quite witty, especially since she can't tell jokes but... here goes!
"Someone once said, a black man will be president when pigs fly... well, Obama is now president and behold... swine flu"
Yesterday, Art of War debuted on history channel. For those that forget, thats the project that the team and I worked on as chinese soldiers and vietcong. It was actually a pretty interesting episode that talks about how SunTzu
and his book "Art of War" influenced all these battles throughout history and how much of a badass book it was. I don't own a copy, but I'm thinking about going to buy one now...
Oh, you know how tattoos can get addicting??
I know I said that I'd never get another one(the one I have is badass already) but I read snippets of Art of War and decided that IF I ever get another one it's gonna be lines from his book.
故其疾如風，其徐如林，
gù qí jí rú fēng; qí xú rú lín.
侵掠如火，不動如山，
qīn lüè rú huǒ; bú dòng rú shān
難知如陰，動如雷霆
nán zhī rú yīn; dòng rú léi zhèn
translated:
Swift like the wind, your compactness that of a forest
Ferocious like fire, is immovability like a mountain
Impenetrable as night, and strike like thunder.
Good method to live to your life. Tight passage. So the episode was good, or I'm biased cuz I'm in it HA!
Some quick photos.
I shoot her in the episode... i know i know.. I'm a bastard.
DUDE, green screen is fucking amazing... Check out DY

fricking rockin!
EMC is working on a self project titled
"On The Edge"
Meet Inspector Yuen and Inspector Wong
Annie - The Sister
Sing - The Snitch
Daniel - The Boss
We're doing this all on our own, so it's tough. But at the same time, we're rocking. Like the hk industry of the old days, frickin stunt men were actors, and grips, and directors too.
If you like cops and triads, HK action, and good looking men... get ready for "On The Edge"
What would you do if you were pushed too far...

It got hot... and I got tired... did a LOT of sitting, laying down, squatting moves.

Aoni did some sword, dance, and fan
Heres Alpha doing a Geisha thing... i did everybody was just making shit up

Tuesday, Mar 31, 2009 2:52PM / Standard Entry
YAY!! I got sent a check for the lenscrafters commercial I did!
I was a surfer (not to mention a SUPER POSER! I cant even swim hahah)
Thanks Megan for the hookup and the wetsuit. BTW, mine had a huge rip in the crotch.
I've had people put sunscreen on my back, but never all over it. It was semi erotic... until she drew a happy face on me.
btw... the way she was putting the sunscreen on me, I wasnt sure if i was supposed to buy her dinner afterwards or something.
HAPPY Birthday to my good friend William this past weekend. Hes an aspiring journalist and a damn good one at that. Claims that Street Fighter was the worst movie he ever saw and I'm loathe to refute that.
oh yeah... its funny. you always hear stories about people getting discovered, or hired on the spot for different jobs etc...
on friday I drove Aoni.. thats her below (we were on our first valentines)
to her audition for... i STILL dont know what its for. anywho... when i walked in, the casting lady Tara looks at me and goes... hey! are you auditioning? you'd be great for this! and then also invited both me and aoni back for another audition today. although i cant say whether we got the part or anything.. .its reminds me of this.. watch the very beginning of this below
