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 :]

MC Jin x 1040


As I’ve been living my own 1040 adventure, I actually got to see Mr. Jin the MC the other night! As we were eating dumplings, I had flashbacks to “Yum Dom Cha”… oh man, how things have changed! It was cool… we both talked about how we unexpectedly ended up in HK. Why I’m in HK? I’ll save that for another blog…

Here’s a lil’ web clip of Jin sharing a bit about his relationship with God:

That’s right. Another spexy Brother reppin’ it. Check him out: ayojin.com

Van Ness Wu x 1040

Ok, so I recently started using this made up word “SPEXY” ever since I saw it in a comment to Disgrasian.com’s Babewatch article on JMA. Spexy = spiritual + sexy. Puahaha. I love it.

Anyway, I think many of you would agree. Van Ness Wu is pretty spexy.

1040

The world premiere is going down on March 12, 2010 at opening night of the City of the Angels Film Festival: http://1040movie.com/1040-world-premiere

I thought I was gonna be back for the premiere, but it seems that I’m in the process of my own 1040 adventure! For now, I’ll just say that God has been so good… He’s totally moving in Asia… and I can’t wait to share “1040 Part 2 Grace Su Edition” with y’all. Haha.

Anyway, here’s the teaser for 1040:

I hope those of you who watch it will get something out of it, whether you’re Christian or not! Be Blessed :]

Cold Winter Days

Well, it’s not THAT cold. I just happen to be in Hong Kong where I see posters for Hot Summer Days all over the place when ironically it’s quite the opposite here.

Despite the cold weather, I went to the AliveNotDead x Biennale event at the West Kowloon waterfront and former landfill. I am told that the HK gov’t has invested $3 BILLION (yes, BILLION USD) to renovate the area into an arts district. Anyway, so we scoped out the “Bring Your Own Biennale” exhibit which included lots of interesting pieces of architectural art made out of everyday things and nature that various artists and architects were invited to create.

Here are a few photos from the event:



The following piece was designed by Edward Huang and actor Daniel Wu (who was actually an architecture student AND a star of the above-mentioned Hot Summer Days). Photos jacked from Anton Wong.


If you’re in HK, the exhibit will be up ’til the 27th: hkszbiennale.org

Little Big Soldier


Upon arriving in HK the other night, the AliveNotDead guys hooked it up with a ticket to go to the red carpet premiere of the new Jackie Chan and Wang Lee Hom flick, Little Big Soldier. Well, I had no plans, so why not?

My movie mates! The gorgeous Grace Huang and Etchy.

Lin Peng, Director Ding Sheng, and Steve Yoo (aka Yoo Seung-Jun):

The crowd was a lil’ bit too crazy. I don’t know why there was an ambulance. Maybe cuz’ somebody had a heart attack upon hearing Wang Lee Hom was in the house (actually, I don’t know if he was there or not, but there were some WLH fanatics in the house for sure).

How was the movie? I thought it was OK. Jackie Chan is always entertaining and I thought it was cool that he wrote the story, but overall, I thought it dragged a bit, became very predictable at times, and didn’t have much of a payoff. The character development wasn’t totally there, cuz’ by the end, I wasn’t invested enough in the characters to care about their transformations. Despite that, I did laugh a fair amount here and there (although I happened to laugh at things that nobody else laughed at… I guess my sense of humor is totally different from the HK audience).
