精 舞 门 Press Conference

This past weekend in Beijing, I attended the press conference for this new Chinese movie called  精 舞 门     I don't believe there's an English title for the project yet.It was my first time being participating in an event like this in China so it was a cool experience.  I was surprised by the number of people that showed up for the event.  Hopefully, the movie does well.

My "Make-Up" Case and Busan, Korea

Here I am taking a short ride on my "make-up" case at customs in Busan, Korea.  Did you know Busan is Korea's second largest city and largest trading port?  I've been using this suitcase since the first season of The Amazing Race Asia, and I still constantly get joked at for having the largest luggage during the shoot.  In fact, most of the cameramen and so...Read more

Big is Back and Virtual Pit Stops

First and foremost, I'd like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas this holiday season.  For me, I almost didn't have the opportunity to spend my Christmas with my family and friends due to work commitments in China, but I was able to make it back in time.  After I wrapped up the music video shoot for Pepsi in Beijing, I flew back in time to attend the movie premiere of Will S...Read more

The PEPSI Music Video shoot

My Virgin Mobile Elimination

Episode Four was a tough leg for all of us.  Right after we waited late into the wee hours for Brett and Kinar to arrive at the previous pit stop, my host crew had to race off to Rotorua to prepare for the arrival of the eight remaining teams.  We didn't get any sleep at all and went straight to work.  I was having a difficult time remembering my lines, and we were wondering how much mor...Read more

Make A Wish

I had the privilege this past weekend to attend the Make-A-Wish first annual Christmas Party.  The Make-A-Wish Children's Charity is a non-profit organization founded to give terminally-ill, physically-disabled, and mentally-handicapped children an opportunity to "make a wish" and have their dreams come true. 

Several years back, I played a police officer on a Singapore Chinese drama ca...Read more

Major Dramarama

Here's the way one of our cameramen looked after this extremely-long third episode for The Amazing Race Asia in New Zealand.  After watching this episode, I have to conclude that one hour for all that went down simply does not do it justice.  I can't even begin to describe all the drama that went down...but I'll highlight some of it.

Pepsi, the Beijing Olympics, and Me

Beijing is supposedly freezing cold in the winter, and I finally got to find out for myself when I arrived last week to shoot a television commercial for Pepsi cola.  I've been here for about a week, and it's been one cool experience.

Recently, Marc and Rovilson organized a party in Manila for their friends and fellow Filipino  alumni, Jac and Aubrey, from the first season of The Amazing Race Asia.  I was totally bummed I couldn't make it, but at least Jac was kind enough to send me these pics:

"I Do All the Screwing..."

....Now, when Ann from the team of the "Dancing Mums" muttered those words as she and Diane were trying to assemble the bicycle, I just totally busted up.  Of course, it totally makes sense, but the way our story producer Ariel White cut it was perfect!  Great job, Ariel!  Here she is below:
