Well, the title says it all. We're underway with the filming in Shanghai - rainy Shanghai that we really need to be sunny Shanghai. Mother Nature already has been messin' with our shoot schedule which is a buzzkill, but all that means is we throw things around in different order and shoot stuff we were planning on doing later that wasn't weather dependent. As for the details of what's already going on...? Well, I can't really say much. As you can guess, secrecy is paramount on a show like this, so while my fami...Read more
My, I'm feeling extra bloggy today...my second entry on the same day! Well, I had meant to put this into my first blog, but failed to do so, thus, here I go again...
One of the things that bugs me the most about China - I wonder if it's like this everywhere, or just in Shanghai and Beijing - where I have the most experience - is the hyper-customer service people hit you with when you walk into a store. Whether it be a restaurant, a Starbuck's, a clothing store, or whatever, it seems that needlessly, at least 4-5 people immediatel...Read more
Okay, well, maybe not. But upon arriving back to Shanghai this past Friday, quite honestly, it really felt like I was back in a place that was really familiar. As if it were home. It started from the airport, and then the ride into Puxi, and then getting to my friend's place that I have to stay at for a few days before production starts. Since I've gone down these "roads" before - and only recently - it really felt comfortable. Crazy. I would have never thought this possible. 5 years ago, if you would have told me, &quo...Read more
Been a lil busy the past few weeks with so many various things...all positive though, for the most part. My mom explained to me during your year - the year of the ox for me - superstition is that you will either have the best year ever or the worst year ever. One of two extremes.
This year...so far, so good. But I ain't taking anything for granted...I'm just that kind of person, for better or worse.
First off, this may seem silly to many, but to me - it's huge! My favorite football squad of all time won the Super B...Read more
I just wanted to take this opportunity, as a public service announcement for other Asians on Earth who go by the lunar calendar, to remind you that it's not only Chinese humanoids who are going hog wild today. Am I weird, but I get irked when people say to me, "happy chinese new year" even though I'm Chinese. I appreciate it and happy new year to you too, but the world ain't chinese-centric. It only appears so on TV.
Uh...I blame it on being out of the country recently. Usually, I'm on top of things when it comes to Asian + Film stuff...I missed this one. And, today, I had an audition for the film. Uh....I feel kinda bad that I went now. Last Airbender: Don't Do It!
How about I shift my mood then and put something happy on here?! This is ancient news (the fact that it's a great film), but if you're in...Read more
Happy 2009 everyone! It's the year of the ox and I'm especially excited 'cause that's what I am! Moo, it's gonna be an outstanding year, economic downturn be damned!!!
Anyway, been meaning to finish my lil blog travel entries from Asia 2008 out. I'm such a procrastinator. After Spore, I landed in Shanghai, my final stop. Shanghai? Again? Yes, again.
The first time I went to SH on this trip was right after Beijing - the first leg of my trip. I had timed it pretty awfully and arrived to SH...Read more
Next stop...Singapore!
I only had it in mind to visit Spore for a couple of days as everyone told me that that would be all I needed to visit all the people in town that I would need to see. In retrospect, maybe I should have taken one more day for site-seeing, but yea, 2 days was about plenty.
Spore was the only place on my Asia trip that I'd never been to. I'd heard all about the place from friends who grew up there or worked there so I had a sense of what to expect, but there's nothing like actually stepping o...Read more
Getting to Taiwan from HK wasn't the best experience. My flight was delayed several several hours and basically I didn't touch down to Taipei until well past 1AM which meant troubling my college buddy to wake up at 2AM to let me into his place. If it were just him, I wouldn't feel so bad, that's how we did it in college...but with wifey and poodle sound asleep, my awakening the house wasn't the coolest thing I've ever done. After that though...I have to say...it was mostly smooth sailing the rest of my time in Formos...Read more
Okay, so my plans to blog often on my trip in Asia didn't work out that well. I hafta say though, I didn't expect it to be that busy! Other than in Hong Kong (my first time around there), I rarely had time to just sit and surf, or do things like update my blog. Boo, cause there are so many details about my trip I wish I had documented in my blog so I could remember 'em. There were just too many bizzare/cool things that transpired...
Let's recall...
My purpose of getting out to Asia was to tak...Read more
