  • baby dumplings!

    this just reminded me of my friend telling me about this show she was watching... on this episode, this guy gave a girl an apple, and she refused it, saying, "it's not a cute food! i don't want it..." so he took the apple, and drew a smiley face on it. "there. cute food! :D"

  • "Chopsticks"

    3

    finally! remember the storyboard for the film workshop i was taking over the summer? the short film is complete!

    before i show you... let's rewinddddd *rewinding sounds*

    in a nutshell (walnut, because they are my favorite. and because that kind of shell is pretty big :D) i heard about this asian american film workshop through a friend, and decided to apply! i was accepted, along with a bunch of other kiddos from maryland and virginia.  we collaborated to make a short film (though they chose my idea ^__^) and after learning/shooting for 6 consecutive saturdays, voila! awesome short film is born.

    behind the scenes pictures :O

    ----------------------------

    anyways, our short film "chopsticks" premiered at the 10th annual DC APA Film Fest opening night on thursday. LEGIT.

    a synopsis of the short can be summed up in five simple words: "asian guy can't use chopsticks"

    the film also stars none other than xangan Scrooge0, who i blindly thought would be a good candidate for the main character.  i used cunning and charm to convince him to audition for the role.  thus, i had my first xanga meetup, and Scrooge0 discovered his inner actor!

    please leave him comments as to how great an actor he is... he's much too modest for his own good :P

    *DRUMROLL* ...and so, without further ado, i present to you "Chopsticks"!

  • asians eat anything

    this new profile picture is a tribute to the last day of summer!

    yum duck
    ^i'm asian -- it's in my blood!
    nahhh, jk. just didn't wanna do my summer homework. however...

    I AM DONE WITH COLLEGE APPS!!
    except i still have to edit... a lot.

    anyways, back to the topic...

    a famous cantonese proverb (thanks, google!) is that “Anything that walks, swims, crawls, or flies with its back to heaven is edible.” well, i'm cantonese, and i certainly will eat almost anything...

    i started listing some of the different types of things I have eaten...

    - DUCK :]
    - pig ears
    - pretty much every organ inside pigs actually... even the uterus! mm, chewy!
    - animal... blood. that turns into jello-ish. yum!
    - turtle (i even watched them butcher it)
    - worm grass (extremely expensive, but i drank my money's worth :D)
    - bear heart water (really nasty.)
    - caterpillars (taste like eggs! if you can get over the crunchy shell...)
    - frog (really does resemble chicken, except for the texture)
    - ostrich pizza
    - balut (it's an undeveloped bird fetus fresh from the egg!)
    - seahorse soup (people were particularly repulsed by this? why?!)
    - fish swim bladder
    - snake....everything.
    - bird saliva on random egg custard desserts
    - crab/fish/snake/sparrow eggs
    -    (animal)    (animal organ/body part/product) 

    my theory is that, once you think of something as food, it's not as gross anymore. and after you have taken a bite, you'll like it too :]

    what weird foods/delicacies are you proud to admit you have eaten?

  • ten little somefings

    little quirks/confessions about me!  i'm only comfortable posting these because i don't know the majority of my readers very well, so you should be honored! nobody else knows :O

    post your own, and tag me! i do want to read them :]

    let us begin.

    10) if i don't want to forget something, i write it EVERYWHERE. i scrawl across my bathroom mirror with expo markers, i wrap a sticky note around my glasses, ....everything! but yet, sometimes, i still manage to forget :(

    9) i hate my double eyelids. not because they're double eyelids, but because they are rather thick, which makes them much more prominent :( and non-asian. when people say this, this is the worst insult possible!

    8) i clean my erasers with erasers.

    7) i eat a lot!  i always feel like i have to prove this when i'm in public by eating even more, because otherwise people accuse me of being thin and not eating enough -_-;

    6) i think holding hands is sacred, kissing even more so. people abuse these displays of affection too much.

    5) i have a crooked pinky D: perhaps from writing (it's on my right hand) and i'm very self-conscious about it.

    4) i can't fall asleep unless my bathroom and closet doors are closed. and unless i'm completely tucked inside my covers like a cocoon. no, i do not suffocate.

    3) i'm a non-conformist.  i suffocate in cologne fumes when i walk by hollister or abercrombie.  brand names plastered across my chest/butt are no-no's. jay chou is overrated. harry potter stinks. i play a ukulele instead of a guitar.

    2) it bothers me when people drink from soda cans and leave all this excess slobber/soda in the rim. and i don't drink soda.

    1) i only go to football games for the food. someone please teach me how to understand football so i can do something other than eat xD
