Hey AnD'ers!
Happy 2010!! Okay, so I'm trying to "make good" on a New Year's Rezzie--be more active and proactive on AnD!!! As you may know, my blog attempts in 2009 were shameful! I haven't written a blog since September, ackkk!!! So, I pledge to write
AT LEAST 1 blog, every month!
Here is an update on what I've been up to during the last few months (and I'm uploading new pictures too!):
Since September, I've been involved in some other fun projects. In a November theatre production of
The Merchant of Venice, I played Jessica. It was a very different role and experience from
Amadeus, but I enjoyed it very much. Its always so exciting to do live theatre--there is no 'take 2'!!
During Halloween weekend, I participated in the first Hong Kong 48 Hour Film Project!! And I have some great news:
our film "Cocktail Definition" has been invited to the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and will be screened with other short films in March 2010!I I worked on the film as both a producer & actor (although I played a very small non-speaking role, opting instead to be "behind the scenes"). My group Spontaneous Combustion, was truly wonderful to work with, and I really enjoyed being a part of this competition. This was the first time that I had ever done a competition like this, and I know it wouldn't have been such a positive experience, if it weren't for my awesome teammates!! Thanks guys!




I also trained for, and ran in, the UNICEF 10K, at Hong Kong Disneyland on November 29, 2009. It was another "first" for me, as I had never participated as an official runner in any run before! I must say, although I was scared to go through with it, I am SO happy that I ended up running. It was so inspiring to see so many people come out and run in support of Unicef!! And I feel very grateful for the opportunity to help and support such an amazing organization.


It is during times like this, especially now, with the horrific events of the Haiti earthquake, that I am reminded of how much we all have--there is SO much to be thankful for, and I wish everyone a new year filled with love, happiness, gratitude, and blessings.
Thanks for reading~
