Scoped it out tonight with some friends… here are a few photos:
I was watching this guy paint when I realized I had seen him somewhere before… in a short film called PALETTE. It was then confirmed when I spotted the director, James Marcus Haney, who happened to be doing a live photo installation in the same space. Do you see the photos behind the crowd? Those are his.
After aimlessly walking the streets, we ran into Nic Cha Kim (one of the founders of Gallery Row)! We’re so glad we ran into him cuz’ we had no idea where any galleries were. He ended up guiding us to some good stuff.
1) I’m no LV expert, but I thought this was funny. 2) This one’s funny, too. It’s called “Toilet Seat Bass Guitar.”
Nic promised us this would be our fave gallery… and it was! It’s called “The Hive” and it really is like a hive inside!
1) Featured Artist display. 2) I’ve seen this art somewhere before! Kono? Where have I seen you? I really took this pic cuz’ of the turtle though… haha.
These were two of my fave pieces.

Do you remember He-Man and She-Ra?
Haha. Well, how many of you know that “He-Man” and “She-Ra” existed in the Bible? Heheheh, well… Heman and Sheerah.
So I’ve been reading the Old Testament and while reading some genealogies, “Sheerah” popped out at me, then later “Heman,” and I was like, “Oh! I used to have a She-Ra doll!” In fact, I had the freakin’ She-Ra Crystal Castle! LOL.
Oh yes… my random silly musings while reading the Bible.

RoRo’s Chicken
Tonight, I had Lebanese food for the very first time! My dear friend, Jeannie Mai, who is quite the health-conscious foodie (you can find her reviews on Yelp), took me to RoRo’s Chicken and ordered me a buncha things to try…
A lil’ bit of Shawerma, Chicken Shawerma, Kafta kabab over rice with salad and Baba Ghanouj. Btw, I forgot to take a photo before eating… so this is midway through devouring the goodness.
“What’s this Baba Ghanouj stuff? Hmm… Ooo, yes, it is GOOOD.”
So what’d I think of RoRo’s Chicken? Delicious. I totally loved the Shawerma (great with their garlic butter!) and the Baba Ghanouj was yummy, too. Super filling.
Ahhh, what better way to wind down after an amazing dinner? Good company, sweets, and wine! P.S. – That bottle of wine was given to Jeannie as a gift from Mario Lopez. Just had to mention that. Haha.

Thank you, Mr. Raymond J. Lee
For getting the freakin’ Lil’ Mermaid song stuck in my head. I’ve been humming it ALL DAY LONG. While driving, while shopping, while cleaning and washing dishes… even right now. I feel like I’m living in a Disney musical. But you know what? It’s not a bad feeling… haha. And I gotta give it to ya, Raymond… you’ve got SKILLS. I hope the producers of GLEE see this!

Andrew Oh Photo
Last April I did a fun a photo shoot with the very talented Andrew Oh.
I know Andrew as a filmmaker (from Illegal to GOCHU), but besides filmmaking and being one of the most awesome and down-to-earth people in the film industry, Andrew is also a great photographer! I personally had a blast shooting with him!
Need some shots? Check out his brand spankin’ new photography site: www.andrewohphoto.com

Does this look familiar?
Looks like a behind-the-scenes photo of Kim Jong Il Eharmony… but is it?

Spiritual Muscles… No Pain, No Gain
So I just made an awesome discovery while reading my 30 chapters of the Bible today (for those who don’t know: one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to read 30 chapters a day from Genesis to Revelations).
Since I wasn’t able to read earlier in the day and I ended up getting home pretty late, I was pretty tired… but I refused to sleep before reading my 30 chapters. While reading the last few chapters of Deuteronomy, I started dozing… I became restless with sitting… so I tried reading on the floor… then I started getting into positions that were too comfortable…
Eventually, I stood up, paced around, and started reading. Then, I started doing mild stretching and strengthening exercises while reading… then it became a full on hour or so of this… and WOW, it was quite an amazing experience. Not only did I focus well, but I was really getting a bit of a workout! I’m actually quite sore right now and very wide awake… I could go for a hike or something! Haha.
Silly pic from last year… trying to flex next to the very muscular D.Y. Sao.
Oh man, I love that I can build my spiritual muscles while toning my physical ones! I think maybe I should start breaking my 30 chapters into halves… do 15 and warmup… then go hike… then come back and do the rest and stretch!
Ok… this girl should get some sleep even though she’s super HIGH right now. Just got really excited about a possible new exercise routine. Haha. God is good, yo.

Ramenbox.com
With every New Year comes NEW ideas! I’d like to introduce Ramenbox.com to y’all. “The world’s first customizable box of ramen.” I have a feeling this is going to be quite popular with college students and well, people like me who don’t always have the time to cook or don’t know how to cook. Haha.
You can pick from over 50 choices of premium instant noodles and have it all packed and shipped to you in one box!
My dear friend, Becky Wu, and her friend, Howard, came up with this awesome idea. The site launched on New Year’s Day and I had to order myself a box! I am very pleased to say that the shipment came via FedEx within 5 days and was definitely packed with care (and love!).
I should be angry that they spilled coffee on my packing slip.
But it’s ok… Becky hooked it up with some extras! 
My general thoughts of Ramenbox.com: The site is really easy to use! The price ain’t bad for what you get. The shipment came within 5 days and was packed nicely. And well, what else is there to say? Besides that I think it’s a great idea!
Here’s what they have to say about themselves: Because of its unique idea, a lot of people ask us how Ramenbox.com® came to be. We can only say it was born from hunger. Hungry for the world to finally discover they had more options than just plain old Top Ramen® and Cup O’Noodles®, and hungry for….well, for amazing instant ramen. We thought, instead of driving to three different supermarkets to grab all of our favorite instant noodles (you know you have your favorites too), we thought wouldn’t it be great if one place had them all? So we let the idea stew in our heads for oh, 3 minutes and presto, Ramenbox.com® was cooked and ready. The worlds first, customizable Ramenbox.
P.S. – I will be sure to submit my review of each package of noodles I try! I ordered a variety of them! So far I know the Green Tea Chlorella one is good (even though it might not sound good~ haha)!

Happy Birthday, Gilbert Arenas!
So I don’t really know what’s going on with Gilbert Arenas, cuz’ I don’t follow sports news… but through the grapevine I heard something about guns and all of a sudden I’m seeing people tweet about him today.
Anyway, it’s Gilbert’s birthday and so here’s a music vid to celebrate! This is Episode 6 of “The Agent Zero Show” (brought to you by Arowana Films. Gotta give it up to Evan Jackson Leong for handlin’ these vids!).
See the rest of the vids on The Agent Zero Show’s YouTube Channel.
P.S. – I just Googled it… and I now know that Arenas has been suspended for bringing guns into the locker room. Yikes. I wonder if “Agent Zero” will have something to say about that.
