I wanted to let you guys know about my next personal challenge.
In my other blog I had asked for suggestions on what I should do for this challenge. I received a lot of good suggestions (many of which I may still do later on) but this is the one I decided to do next. It's basically a combination of suggestions, along with some of my own ideas.
Again, the main idea here is just to take action. Using that momentum from the NaNoWriMo and the 25for25 to keep myself going in a positive direction. It's less about r...Read more
Just writing out a list of things to add to my blog (or just general projects) in the future. I come up with ideas of things to blog about from time to time, but often don't have time until later on to do them. This is just to keep things straight in my head...

Amazingly, I'm still going strong with the 25 for 25 project. This is just a quick update for those of you who are curious, (and yet not curious enough to subscribe to my project).
BEFORE: Could run 6 or 7 of the 25 minutes
NOW: Can run 15 of the 25 minutes.
BEFORE: Was only able to run non-stop for 1.5 to 2 minutes.
NOW: Can run without stopping at a 8:30 minute mile for 10 minutes.
BEFORE:Read more
After last month's (dare I say it) "success" in finishing my novel, I decided that what really gave me the ability to follow through and finish the book was the fact that I had a lot of supporters encouraging/cheering/reading along with me. So first, thanks to everyone who participated for that.
But I thought that I shouldn't let something like that end with just one project. So I've decided to pick something else to do this month. What is it?
I call it "25 f...Read more
I usually don't embed random videos in my blog, but this one is really funny...
And so we come to the epilogue of my little series of blogs about my teacher's visit to Hong Kong.
The Shun Tak Center -- where the Macau Ferry Terminal is located
On Tuesday morning I came to the office and then made my way over to the Shun Tak Center's Macau Ferry Termi...Read more
Yesterday afternoon I was talking with Cynda online and she mentioned the NaNoWriMo was this month. The what? It turns out it is National Novel Writing Month. The gist of it is, you sign up and try to write a 50,000 word novel in the course of the month of November.
I thought it sounded interesting so I checked out the NaNoWriMo websiteand took a look. Here is the excerpt from their website's "about" page: (emphasis provided by me)...Read more
I'm trying to do a filming project with Wu Di. Basically a music video with training montages and wushu in it, but I'm going to do it in a different way than most of the generic, run-of-the-mill ones are done.
So, I made this teaser trailer with some footage I took in Guangzhou. Some of it might be used in the final project, or it might not. But just felt creative so I made this for your viewing pleasure.
Enjoy!
As mentioned, I recently journeyed to Fuzhou (the capital of Fujian province on the southeastern coast of China) to visit my friends competing at the 2007 China Men's Nationals. The event itself started on the 5th, so with my arrival on the evening of the 6th, I wasn't able to watch the first two days. However, since my main motivation for attending was to see friends and not wushu, it ended up working out quite well.
Note: I welcome your comments, but please read what I have written in it's entirety and think about what I'm trying to say before providing your feedback. Not everyone is required to make a comment, but for those who feel so compelled, your careful consideration and attention are very much apprecaited.
The other day I met someone from the Philippines. We had a short conversation, but it was a conversation that I'm seem to have quite often since moving to Asia (and especially since moving to Ho...Read more
