What happens…

when your parents are on Facebook? Well, for me… after my dad figured out how to upload and tag photos, he moved onto Facebook apps.

Just a few days ago, I received multiple “Happy Island” and “Fishville” requests… all from my dad! Lol. Since I had sworn off FB apps, I just let the requests sit there for awhile. Eventually, I figured I shouldn’t leave my dad hanging. The next thing I know, I have to feed my fish every two days or they’ll die. Lol.

Then just yesterday, I accidentally signed onto FB chat and guess who IM’d me?

Puahaha… too cute. Dad, if you’re reading this, don’t get too addicted to the FB apps, ok? :P

BlackBerry or Droid?

Ok, I’ve posed this question before and the reason why I’m not considering an iPhone is cuz’ I want a physical keypad. The last time I asked the question, I was already leaning towards just getting a BlackBerry again and many agreed. However, after testing out a friend’s Droid… I kinda changed my mind. These are the pros and cons that I’m weighing:

BlackBerry
Pros: QWERTY keypad and BBM
Cons: archaic web browser (well, especially the one on my 2-year old Curve… and plus I haven’t updated the software…)

Droid
Pros: in a way, it’s like having the best of both iPhone and BlackBerry… diggin’ that there’s a slide out keypad
Cons: no BBM (lol)

Hmm… soo… is BBM a good enough reason to stick with BlackBerry? Puahaha. What I REALLY want is a good phone for email and text messaging (and maybe blogging). What are your thoughts?


Me and my purple twin, Simon Yin, sporting our matching BBs.

Mike Bickle x 1040

Word. I’m seeing it with my very own eyes here in Asia…

FAQ: What is “1040″? Well, 1040, the film, is a documentary about Christianity in Asia that I worked on last year. “1040″ is derived from the “10/40 Window,” a term used to describe the most unevangelized area of the world (10 and 40 degrees North Latitude on the eastern hemisphere). Read the synopsis for 1040 here.

What does love look like? (Part 2)

It looks like a faithful wife sitting by her comatose husband’s bedside in a small hospital room despite what doctors say. Their young daughter is tip-toeing next to the bed. She’s too young to know exactly what’s going on. For all she knows, her father has been sleeping for a very long time.

The family and friends that surround them are praying for God’s healing power. There is a peace that falls upon the room and you can feel the love flowing. Despite the circumstances, everyone is hopeful. As individuals pray over the man, you can see him reacting! He WILL wake up. The faith is there.

As they leave to take a dinner break, the wife places a cassette player next to her husband. She turns it on and you can hear the cute little ramblings of their young daughter. The wife tells her husband in Mandarin, “Honey, we’re going out for now, but we’ll be back!” And though, physically, no one is there, this man will never be alone. He’s covered by so much Love.

Taiwanese American?

If you are, then claim it! And yes, I’m Taiwanese American if you’re wondering.

Btw, that whole Taiwanese / Thai confusion happens all the time. “Oh, so you’re Taiwanese? So can you speak Thai then?” o_O Totally different, yo. And the whole Chinese vs. Taiwanese issue… some of you may know Taiwanese peeps who get offended if you call them Chinese… well, though ethnically 90+% of Taiwanese are of mainland Chinese descent, culturally, politically, socioeconomically, historically, etc… there’s a big difference in being Chinese or Taiwanese. Anyway, enough about this political stuff. How ’bout that Taiwanese American Barack Obama?

What does love look like?

It looks like someone giving a stranger a hug because that stranger is in desperate need of one.

This is an image that will be engraved in my mind forever. A woman who’s crying out and desperately wanting God to heal her heart. Another woman, a complete stranger, goes up to her and embraces her. I see the first woman’s face drenched with tears of hurt gradually change to one that is calm and peaceful. It’s such a beautiful and touching sight. All around them, there is a sea of strangers hugging strangers and praying for each other… all in the Taipei Arena… all in God’s presence. It’s breathtaking. I wish I had photographed it, but I can still see it so vividly in my memory… and I wish I could truly share this moment with you all…

KOLLABORATION 10

All I have to say is that I can’t believe I’m missing this!!! It’s gonna be PK’s last year hosting… there are A LOT of people going… and of course, the talent! OMG, THE TALENT.

Very excited for Asians and Asian Americans in entertainment… God is on it. Trust.

Btw, if you’re wondering about my New Year’s resolution about blogging daily… well… obviously, that hasn’t been happening. I have very inconsistent Internet access here in Asia (been traveling a lot more than I planned and I don’t have a laptop). Anyway, I will seriously blog about some of the things that I’ve experienced here when I have more time :]
