10/29/11 – Jubilee Project premieres “Dear Daniel” + new short film with Megan Lee in LA!

I’m looking forward to this.

Join the Jubilee Project as they premiere their film, “Dear Daniel,” for the first time on the big screen at CGV Cinemas in Los Angeles!

As part of their “Doing Good is Contagious tour,” the Jubilee Project has been going across the country screening their film and empowering young people to take action and make a difference in their own communities.

The film is a coming of age story about a college student who’s trying to pursue his dreams. They will also be showing a new short film about sex trafficking featuring singer/songwriter Megan Lee, and will have a Q&A session with Megan on stage afterwards.

Come join in and be a part of the movement that is quickly gaining the support of thousands everywhere!

Tickets:
Open to all ages. $6
Buy at the door or online at www.CGVcinemas.com

Doors open at 7:30 PM.
Presentation, film screening, and Q&A session begin at 8:00 PM.

They will be hosting an after-event reception at Maitreya:
3500 W 6th St, Ste 101
Los Angeles, CA 90020

Get your tickets, come support a great cause, and see their video first hand on the big screen.

*Costumes welcome!

RIP, Steve Jobs

If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am (a lot of us wouldn’t!) and people wouldn’t have known about my hometown! You will always be remembered.

Aziatix rockin’ out, New Heights + Clara C killin’ it.

Up, up, here we go!

Youcef Nadarkhani

The clock is ticking and an innocent man’s life is on the line.

For those who do not know, Youcef Nadarkhani faces execution for his Christian faith in Iran. If the Iranian Government follows through with this, they will be breaking the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which allows for freedom of religion. What would you do if someone you knew was in this position?

One thing you can do right now is send a simple email to the Iranian embassy to contest for Youcef Nadarkhani.

This was my email:

Your Excellency, the Ambassador of Iran,

Thank you for taking the time to read this appeal. I am writing in regards to Youcef Nadarkhani’s case. It is my hope that the Iranian judiciary would uphold the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights by releasing Youcef Nadarkhani from the current charges against him.

Ambassador, I urge you to consider this matter and to pass this appeal on to your Government.

Sincerely with the utmost respect,

Grace Su

Please take a moment to email now. And do pray and do share with others. For more insight into this situation, please read Pastor Eugene Cho’s blog or this article from The Washington Post.

Audrey’s Recap

Sooo, what did I end up wearing to Audrey’s Fashion Night Out? A gold-sequined dress from Michael Kors which Ashley Choi (#FF @ashleychoi) picked out for me! On top of styling, Ashley did my hair and makeup, too :]

Anyway, I didn’t capture any video from the night, but here’s one from Pacific Rim Video Press. It’ll give you a good idea of the event:

And to be honest, I actually missed half of the fashion show… cuz’ I was busy making friends by the food (you can usually find me close to food at any event haha). So I didn’t get to see Kaba Modern or Blush… I was definitely distracted by an incredible carrot cake and other delectable goods provided by Vanilla Bean Bakery. Haha. I’m a foodie, not a fashionista. Other than that, I had a good time catching up with friends. Mucho thanks to Audrey for inviting me out! :]

HELP ME WITH MY OUTFIT FOR THE EVENING!

Last year, I wore black (pictured on the very right). This year, I want to try to go outside of my comfort zone. BUT it must be something that I’ll be able to pick up at a local retailer, budget-friendly cuz’ I ain’t a baller here, and red carpet ready! I have NO fashion sense and I REALLY need help! Lol. So send me a link to a dress/outfit online or email/tweet me a photo and tell me where I can buy the outfit! If I don’t actually like any of the choices, I’ll pick the funniest one! Let’s do this by Sunday, September 11th. And maybe I’ll see you at the event? *cheers*

THE REFUGE

Finally. It’s here! Check out this short that I worked on with the talented Nicholas Acosta, Adrian Zaw, Jo Mani, Sam Puefua, Giordany Orellana, Don Le, and many others! Special thanks to Geo from Just Kidding Films for making the connection :]

Woohoo. Guess I can finally make my “reel” public :P

“You Left Me For That”

Paul Kim’s new music video directed by Anthony Bui. You can spot me in here along with David So and Timothy DeLaGhetto:

Mucho thanks to Tracy Wu, Anthony Bui, and Paul Kim for reaching out, Ivy Choi and Michelle Lee for hair and makeup, Lyndzi Trang for wardrobe help, and Jeffrey Lin and all the peeps who were super helpful on set!

Fun fact: Paul and I went to high school together, had a falling out over some stupid drama that neither of us can really remember now, didn’t reconnect until years later when we bumped into each other in LA, and now we’ve worked together! Haha, I don’t know why I always like sharing this story, but it’s just awesome how God can bring people back together for the better :]
