V-Day at EST/LA

Last weekend EST/LA had a 3-day run of The Vagina Monologues featuring a stellar celebrity cast of more than 60 women. Here’s more information about The Vagina Monologues from V-Day Atwater. (Also visit the official V-Day website here.) What is V-Day, you might ask? “V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler’s award winning play The Vagina Monologues [continue reading >>>]

Salt Lake Comic Con // FanX 2014

I’ve been looking forward to SLCC / FanX 2014 since the beginning of the year, and it was such an FUNtastic experience! I’m usually either staffing, helping at a booth, or wandering on my own when I’m at a convention. Not very exciting. However, this time I traveled out of California, met up with friends, made new friends, and ever day was like an adventure. I’m still not used to flying, but it was either [continue reading >>>]

2013 SCrew Badminton Tournament

We had our annual SCrew (Socal Crew) badminton tournament on November 16th. We moved the venue from San Gabriel Valley Badminton Club 1 (SGVBC) to Manhattan Beach Badminton Club (MBCC). It’s a bit far for some of us, but it was worth the drive. It’s a wonderful facility, with clean and spacious locker rooms, shower and restrooms, a large kitchen, a lounge area, a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and 6 badminton courts. We also had the [continue reading >>>]

Summer (Part II)

SAN DIEGO ZOO August 10, 2013 – We got up extra early to drive down to San Diego. Both Nicky and Yuki are August babies, and they decided to do their birthday hangout at the San Diego Zoo. On the way there, a lunatic driver in a silver Honda Accord tailgated Angel, and then pulled beside him and tried to ram him into the K-rail. This guy was nuts! It was seven in the morning [continue reading >>>]

Southern California Gundam Modeling (SCGMC)!!!

We’re just through the first half of TGG’s Gundam model competition (SCGMC). The raffle was a hit, and we’ll definitely need a bigger raffle drum next year. What’s funny is when we locked the drum after the raffle, the lock JAMMED! Clem used a pair of pliers and…wire cutter(?) to tear the lock off. Bad..Sanrio rip-off lock…bad!!! Bad Sanrio rip-off lock…Bad..!!! Our new lock = a key ring! Here are just [continue reading >>>]

Summer (Part I)

JUNE BIRTHDAYS Angel and Nicky spoiled me on my birthday week by taking me to see the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses at the Greek Theatre. What a great way to kick start the summer! I thought about wearing my Link costume, but I couldn’t convince myself to wear tights. I like my clothes baggy and comfortable… I did, however, put on elf ears but ended up with way more glue in my [continue reading >>>]

Comic Con 2013

It was great to be back at Comic Con! I was able to go this year all thanks to my friends at ABCtoy4me. In return, I happily supplied them with caffeine and free labor. This year, ABC had a much larger crew so there was plenty of time for everyone to walk around and enjoy the show for themselves. There wasn’t anything in particular I wanted to do or see, but I went to Comic [continue reading >>>]

The Bob Cole Conservatory of Music Pavilion and Plaza Dedication was this past Saturday (Oct 6). I stopped by the campus two days earlier and construction was still ongoing. The construction crew had to work around the clock to get things ready by ceremony time. Following the dedication ceremony was the ribbon cutting for the new office building. It looks kind of retro on the outside (because of the V-shaped roof), but the interior is [continue reading >>>]

Book of Mormon / Wellcast Launch!

Book of Mormon It’s been a very exciting week! On Tuesday night, my friend Caroline and I went to the Pantages to see The Book of Mormon. We got there around 7:30 PM, (much earlier than we had anticipated), so Caroline gave me a quick tour around the theater since it was my first trip to the Pantages. Our seats were on the second level, and in the first row, Mezzo, RC (right center). Awesome [continue reading >>>]

JW concert // SCrew T-shirts

My friend, Clem, invited me to a JW concert at the Bowl three summers ago, and needless to say, I’ve been going back every year since! We had a group of six this time. We arrived at the Bowl an hour and a half before the concert and had ourselves a little picnic. After filling our bellies, we hiked up to our seats in section N3. On a completely unrelated [continue reading >>>]

The “AUDIO” page is up (here). It’s divided into three categories: Cinematic (TV/film music), Concert works, and Other. I will probably rename it to “Electronic/Other” when I have more samples to upload. The “VIDEO” page is temporarily password locked until it’s ready to go live. It should be up and running in a couple of days. More updates coming soon. Oh…and a bio. That’s coming soon, too…

Website is 50% completed. I’m new to WordPress, but my buddy Clem has helped me so much with building this site. I’m working on building a video playlist for the media>>video page, but I haven’t found a plugin that I like. I still don’t know what to write on the Home Page (aka About Me). Don’t really know what to say.
