Over 100 members of our creative community agreed to appear in a series of videos supporting Center for the Pacific Asian Family. These were shot by an entirely volunteer crew. They dedicate these videos to the victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and their families. We hope that CPAF can win $1 million in Chase Community Giving application on Facebook. You need to have a Facebook profile to vote. We were fortunate enough to have the participation of talent like Van Ness Wu, Far East Movement, Sandra Oh, John Cho, Aaron Yoo, C.S. Lee, Kaba Modern, Joe Hahn, Archie Kao, Grace Su, Patricia Liu, Kathy Uyen, and others, many who are artists on Alive Not Dead.
Enjoy the videos. Here's a menu of links to Videos (in order of most recently posted):

The Center for the Pacific Asian Family was fortunate enough to finish in the top 100 in the Chase Community Giving program on Facebook, earn a $25,000 grant and become eligible for the next round of Facebook voting from January 15-22. The top finisher will win $1 million and five runner-ups will get $100,000. This program is for US based non-profits.
I still can't believe that it happened. It did, but there is so much more work to be done. The Chase Community Giving program not only gives CPAF critically needed funds, but helps to raise awareness of a profoundly important issue that is too often kept in the dark. As you may know, CPAF provides emergency shelter and counseling services to victims of domestic violence and rape.
I am asking for your support to help CPAF in the next round of voting. I think it would be an incredible statement on the part of our community to rally around such a worthy cause. Rarely is there an opportunity for such an immediate reward for building community support.
If you know of any organizations who could help us spread the word, please send me a message. Each and every one of us can make a difference.
Chase Community Giving Program is being run through Facebook where Chase will give away $5 million to charitable organizations voted on by FB users. If your favorite charity is among the top 100 vote getters, it could win $25,000. Each person can vote for a total of 20 charities. Please vote for your favorite charity and mine, The Center for Pacific Asian Family. They provide counseling services and shelter for victims of domestic violence and rape.

I have to admit, I am addicted to American Idol. I actually like the real competition better than the goofy auditions. During the final 36, viewers picked 9 finalists and the judges get to pick the remaining three. It was great to see one of my favorites, Anoop, get picked to compete for the final three slots. But that got me thinking. Where are all the Asians? I have been to enough karaoke rooms in my time to know that we've got the pipes. I also was a judge last month where Kollaboration held their annual talent show and sold out 6200 seats at the Shrine (where they used to hold the Oscars), The vocal talent is deep in our community. What gives? The last time I actually remember even seeing someone yellow on the show was William Hung. What gives? Does this bother anyone else or just me?
You are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.
1) I never could stand the smell or taste of kimchee and now I love the taste... but not the smell.
2) I have lost 11 pounds since mid-October.... 9 more to go.
3) I love Grey's Anatomy but hate seeing Denny as a ghost.
4) I get sick from traveling in Asia... the air is so bad, but it's worth the experience.
5) Six years ago, I weighed about 168 lbs and had 8.5% body fat. I now weigh 178.
6) I never attended church regularly until 2008.
7) I use to be addicted to golf and my lowest handicap was 11. But now I've played 27 holes of golf in the past 5 years/
8) My goal is to do a handstand in the middle of the room... headstands are easy.
9) I once attended 34 yoga classes in 29 days.
10) Shanghai is my favorite city in Asia, London is my favorite city in Europe and New York is my favorite city in the world. Liberty, my hometown, ranks in the top 10% of the bottom third of my list.
11) I could eat sushi 7 days a week and especially like uni and toro.
12) I worked as a bellhop and caddie at Grossinger's Hotel in the Catskills... think DIrty Dancing.
13) I always wanted to be Jewish.
14) One of my greatest vacations ever was an all guys sailing trip on a 40 foot yacht thru the British Virgins Islands. Four of us went and we crewed, cooked and had a blast. But I didn't know how to swim.
15) I passed my swimming test at Cornell by creeping along the edge under the instructors field of vision part of the way and doggie paddling the rest.
