the journey

louis vuitton the journey tv commercial circa 2008

the journey is not a trip, nor a vacation .

it is a process . a discovery . 

a self discovery

bringing us face to face with ourselves

to show us not only the world

but also how we fit in it

does the person create the journey

or does the journey create the person?

the journey is life itself

where will life take you?

i'm yours

I've heard a million versions of this song, and tons from Jason himself, but this clip is one of my favorites because it's clean, clear, and just plain awesome.

the machine is changing us

Watch this whole video. It's one of the best videos I've seen in a long time.

yu-na kim

Yu-Na Kim, the reigning World Champion, also known as the Queen, is a S. Korean figure skater who just won the Gold Medal in the Vancouver Olympics. She is one of my favorite athletes to watch and I think she is absolutely gorgeous!!! Although some of my girl friends disagree, she reminds me of a young Gong Li [whom i think is the most elegant woman in the world]...one look can make your heart flutter. I've shown this clip to everyone that's online chatting with me, so i think it's about time i blog about her. Below is the video clip of the 007 Medley she did for the short program. She nails everything with precision, the jumps, the speed, and even the little nuances of sensuality!

I think I watched this clip about 100 times in the last 3 days. I saw her short program live on TV, and searched all over youtube to find the exact program. I hate NBC and their copyright crap, but thankfully, I was able to find this HD clip of the best short program skate I've ever seen.



This is the same 007 Medley skate, but they slow down her best parts, so I think it's worth a watch as well.

karolina wydra's hair

My friend Michelle has been harping about my former short hair, and looking at short do's all over the net. However, I still want to keep my long hair and didn't get on the wagon...until tonight. The ZDX Acura commercial was on TV, and Karolina's hair completely struck me. I cut my hair insanely short 3 years ago, but it's grown back to be long past my shoulder blades. If I were to go that short again, I'd want this exact cut! If you want to see the whole commercial, here is the ZDX Exclamation video.

my fave xmas songs

This version of O Holy Night may be my favorite of all the versions. Celine Dion never fails to amaze me. I know I know, it's Celine Dion, but I still really like her. Her voice is vibrates through me and I have quite a long list of her songs in my faves.

o holy night - celine dion

However, nothing beats Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You.


Every Christmas mass since I was a baby, I'd hear this song Hang Belem. My grandfather taught it to me as a baby and I never forgot it. It's very dear to my heart because it was the first song I learned completely and sang it all the time when I was 3. If it's not sung during Viet xmas mass, I throw a fit. I can't find a nice version on youtube, but this clip is from a church choir in Australia. It's pretty much how it would sound in church with the laity so I like it.

audrey tatou for chanel No. 5

Audrey Tatou is the new face of Chanel Np. 5 and here is the full commercial. I love EVERY SINGLE one of her outfits, but I especially love the black pantsuit she's wearing at the end. I WANT IT.

Song: Billie Holiday's I'm a Fool to Want You

Anjelah Johnson

My cousins and I can do this to the tee...but the video still makes me laugh my ass off.

Priscilla Ahn

I was browsing through some blogs for my photoshoot and stumbled on this song in Two Ellie's blog. I thought it was a beautiful song, and it got to me. It's called Dream by Priscilla Ahn

Britain's Got Talent

Stavros Flatley. This just made me laugh my ass off.



Episode 1:

I almost didn't watch this. I thought it was going to be another stupid one.
OMG. I can't believe she is 47, and never pursued a singing career.
Susan Boyle: I Dreamed a Dream by Les Miserables

Episode 2:

12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi wanted to enter Britain's Got Talent to share his talent and his passion for music with the nation. With help from his mum, he's prepared a performance to his, and his granddad's favorite song - Valerie. Unfortunately, Simon's not very impressed with the song selection. On the second try, this came out... Who's Loving You by Michael Jackson

Jason Mraz + Colbie Caillat

I love love love this song. Makes me happy everytime I listen to it.

Playing for Change

A few months ago, I came across the international version of the Stand By Me video and I posted it on my blog because it was so well done. Today, sitting in Starbucks for my usual study session, this song came up at least 10 times on the Sirius Starbucks radio. I walked over to the counter, and saw the Playing for Change CD on sale, which I thought was pretty cool. I googled it, and they also have a blog.

The songs are amazing, and I may actually buy a CD for the first time in about 5 years.

"Taking technology for granted! uuughhh, it won't...give it a second! It's going to SPACE!"

"Everybody on every plane should be like OMG!! This is amazing! You're sitting in a CHAIR...in the SKY."

HILARIOUS.

This one is pretty good too. Being White

Asian American Names

Apparently, Asian American names are toooooo hard to pronounce. WOW, I guess Li, and Le, and Chang are just too complicated for the American tongue...or at least the Texas tongue.
Representative Betty Brown of good ole' Texas is calling on Chinese Asians to adopted names that are "easier for Americans to deal with."

Rep Betty Brown makes statement on Asian names
and her defense...
Voters simplifying their names not racially motivated

omg, woman.

Phil's Diary

I watch the Amazing Race religiously. Every week, for I think 14 seasons now.
This season, I have been watching it online, and I noticed Phil's diary.

I love Phil, mostly because he's been ALL around the world many times over.
His diary is mostly what he does while he waits for the teams to arrive at the pitstop and also his observations about the countries he visits.
Here are some of my favorites:
Phil gets a shot of B6

Sound of Music in Antwerp Central Station

I love this video. It's at Central Station in Antwerp.
Huge musical production of Do Re Mi.

UP

UP is the new Pixar film and I know I'm going to LOVE this movie for two reasons: the old man reminds me of my dad so much, and it involves traveling around the world!!!

A 78 year old man embarks on a world adventure as a promise to his dead wife. He fills his house with balloons to fly around the world, and accidentally takes the awesome clueless boyscout with him.

It looks absolutely amazing, and I'm so excited to see it!
Here is the trailer!! Pixar's UP
