Why have my blog titles become so weird and random??

Anyway went home for New Years, family didn't do much for various reasons, but I made it out to the 4th Annual Tet Fest in San Diego. I didn't realize it was only going on for the last 4 years...I think I've actually gone to everyone so far then heh. 1st year I went alone for...I don't remember why. 2nd Year I went alone to surprise my friends as they were doing a Wushu demo...they didn't see me though, so I think I just went home afterward heh. I went back the next day though. Last year I'm pretty sure I went with my girlfriend after we spent some time with her family eating lots of good old traditional Viet food...maaaaaannnn I was craving her grandma's food so bad yesterday hehe.

Anyway this year, I couldn't find anyone to go with so I went alone once again heh. This year was weird though, they had a ton of like Carnival stuff...guess for the kids...was cool...but weird heh.

yeah...

They had some cool replicas of some famous places in Vietnam. Supposedly a famous place from North, Central and South Vietnam (I'm Northern by the way heh).

Then there's the stage where they talk about the fest, have the beauty pageant (I missed it, the pageant was on Sat, I went on Sun -_-), singers and dancers. There was this one guy...looked like a total nerd, kinda greasy guy. But damn he could sing good...I applauded him heh.

Then there was her...her outfit was kinda silly...and her singing was ok...>_>...It was funny though she sang like 4 songs I think, and the begining of each song started with her doing the same "Sexy" walk forward to the front of the stage before she'd start singing...oh yeah it was pretty cold too heh. I think at one point she complained about it being cold and how we had heaters and she was up there in her skirt and corset-ish top in the cold hehe....oh well.

Check the guy on the right reaching for the warmth hehe...actually he might be trying to light it...either way funny (I'm a great photog huh? ^_^ muahaha...ack ah oh ok..)

But the main reason people go to the fest...well the young people at least is for this one thing...

That's right the FOOD!

Traditional Vietnamese Nachos! wtf? haha...

YES! Traditional Viet Pad Thai and waffles...wtfx2?

Hmm I was trying to candidly take these pics so people wouldn't think I was some kinda weird white kid amazed by Viet people, so I got a lot of bad shots heh...=\

They even had Chamorro food there, pretty crazy.

This section was tight. Three colleges lined up side by side trying to get money from people fighting for attention. UCSan Marcos (university California San Marcos), SDSU (San Diego State University), and UCSD (University California San Diego)...

I couldn't decide which school to support so I went to a different booth instead heh.

This was the first meal for me at the show, Ga Bi Thit Nuong...(I think heh)
When I ordered it the lady was like "How you know this place?"
so I said "Oh...I'm Viet."
She replied with a quick "0_0 You don't look it..."
I took my food and went "-_- Yeah I know, I know..." hehe

Ended up sitting next to a some white European Guy who's going out with a Vietnamese Girl...They were having random conversations, and then they started talking about the HBO show TrueBlood. So I butted in their conversation to let them know the show won't be back on with new episodes for a while heh....Then...I think I just laughed a bit cuz she was explaining my fish sauce to the guy...anyway random stuff that'll just amuse me when I think back to it heh.

Lets see I wandered around a bit more, planned to stay the whole time, but it got super cold heh so I left kinda early. Yes SUPER COLD, for all you people in your snowy areas you have no idea how cold it gets out here hehe just teasing...(don't kill me heh).

Before I left though this girl made me take a picture with this other girl...so I actually got one picture with me in it from the event...too bad it's blurry, or maybe that's a good thing? heh.
Uh the HUT, yeah the hut is the main focus of this picture...that's right disregard the weird guy and the girl with vegetables...see this pretty hut? heh.

Ms. S - Hmm just tell him long as he protects you he'll get 1 pie per day.  I'm sure he'll behave then heh.

Sat - Hmm decided to get more a banh mi instead...but then ended up with the kabobs anyway heh.  And Naw no other pics...felt awkward takin a pic with her randomly anyway hehe.  I = shy

QJ - Hmm I think DY prolly spoke loud enough, I was pretty far from the camera, and there was no special mic just the ones that came with the cameras, so not the best for sond quality.  And yeah small cramped space not much room for the camera man to get around.  Next time next time, was just a practice session afterall.  ^_^.  The "superhero" movie is a Ninja movie and almost about to be filmed I think..and still not sure if I'm good or bad heh.

Jav - Hm dunno she was just walking around with them heh, think to be like a shop girl from VN? Not too sure actually I shoulda asked.  Suuuure I saved you some...uh...next question hehe.  Read my replies to Quinn above hehe.  And outtakes are always the best, every movie should have them in the credits like Jacky Chan does.

Mys - Yeah IF you were a nice girl...-_- hehe.

Mis - That guy = insane heh.

Moon - Actually found out the lows lately have been around 40 degrees, highs have only been around 60...so the coldness is somewhat justified.  For me though 60 is freezing heh.

Sat - Yep Pad Thai...I almost got some of that heh.  Next time We'll put in the hug for you, just for your yaoi fix hehe.  Yeah the girl asked me after she took it if it was blurry, I said "ah I'm sure you did fine" I didn't want to take another pic hehe.

Poked - You's still crazy hehe.

LuV - Heh I dunno why, my one friend left in SD had to work so she couldn't come hang out with me, other people live all over the place or doing things with their families so that's the main reason I guess heh.  Thanks though doo doo...^_^.

Misx2 - If you pay for the flight suuure I'll fly you out heh.

正義番長 Mao toi la viet (dunno the tones heh)

A poor struggling artist trying to live his own way in a confined business run world.

Hmm about me huh? Well my story isn't for the weak of heart. Actually it probably isn't for anyone, because it's probably really boring. So I'll just go over some aspects.

Born in Manhattan New York. We lived in Queens, Brooklyn and eventually moved over to Jersey before heading out to California where my mom was from. We'd end up moving every couple of years because rent would go up and we couldn't afford to stay where we were.

I started learning martial arts from my father when I was about 4 years old, he's a 3rd degree black belt in Japanese JiuJitsu so he taught me the basics. He got tired of teaching though and sent me to sign up at the local Tae Kwon Do school. Every time we'd move I'd have to sign up at a new school, usually learning a new style as well. I stuck through doing martial arts at least 3-6 days a week up until the day I turned 18. Lots of the time I had wanted to quit, because giving up my days to train and tire myself out while other kids were just home goofing off or hanging out and so on seemed like a waste to me. But after I turned 18 I was off to college where I began teaching a weird TKD/Karate mix to elementary school kids all across the San Jose area up north. Teaching the kids was a lot of fun, one of my favorite jobs ever. Had to go through a lot because parents didn't like a kid teaching their kids, but after a while I'd have the parents asking me to teach them. I did that for a couple years but hadn't really trained myself in 3 or so years, until I joined a WuShu school back down in San Diego. I trained pretty good there for about a year, then got the chance to go to Beijing to train WuShu out there. My first day there though I ended up ripping my Achilles tendon and had to quit training for good pretty much. I fell into a bit of depression thinking my martial arts life was over, Achilles injuries always seemed the worst to me, and Martial Arts had always been a big part of my life. I haven't ever gotten my foot completely fixed, so still hurts like hell everyday, but much less than it used to. I couldn't walk for at least over 6 months, and couldn't walk properly for almost 2 years. The injury happened about 4 years ago, back in 2004. About 6 months ago I started training a lot again and now I'm back on track to where I want to be. Although my skill level has dropped significantly and I'm embarrassed for people to see me, especially people who knew me before my injury and before I was 18 heh.

That's my Martial Arts history, now for my acting one heh.

At around 10-12 I began an acting career. It didn't really get anywhere because I looked "too young" according to all the casting directors I would go see. I got a couple small things, but nothing significant. Then I had to drop my agent, who took advantage of me anyway, and had to start focusing on school. Later when I was about 16-17 I tried to get back into it again with a new passion and drive. I almost got a couple leading roles on tv shows, but this time I was too old heh. Then I had the opportunity to get on some high school drama show, but I was leaving for college then and my parents told me college was more important. So I left. Acting had to go on the back burner for a while. I tried once or twice to get back into it in the later years, but never had the opportunity or had to back out before I could really pursue it. Now I'm driven more than ever and on my way back to the life of acting and trying to get myself recognized. With the help of some friends, learning new acting techniques and getting some tips on where I should start and how I should approach the whole thing. Acting as an adult seems, so far anyway, much different from acting as a child. Exciting and scary it's the path I've chosen and the one I'll be on forever hopefully.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
