• The Principle of Diminishing Returns

  Hi everyone. I’m back!

  My apologies for not updating the past 8 months! Unfortunately, this
  blog has been passed over to the sweet tweets of Twitter. It is much
  easier to write a snippet of 140 characters or less to explain what
  is going on in my life. That leaves things vacant here.

  However, I’ve known all along that this domain serves a purpose as well. Some stories just can’t be shared with such limitations. Plus, I like to share my experiences progressively, with various media (audio,video, photo) and widgets. And I know that there are those out there (Naoko & Joe, Evelyn, The Asian Persuasion, John G., David H., etc.) who only know what is going on in my life by coming here. So, this entry is especially dedicated to you!

  Kid Akio gets Pop-upped via the Metrolink

  A couple of my friends (Josh H. and Kayla), have just started their street cuisine business (–pop-up-), partnering with some other UCLA School of Architecture classmates. They had their “soft opening” last Thursday at a gallery reception, in which Josh’s work was on exhibit. I noticed that Gallery 1927 was close to the 7th Street/Metro Center station, so I decided to take the Metrolink instead of scrounging for parking in Downtown LA. I parked nearby the Wilshire/Western station and made my way.

  

  I appreciate the compliment, and yes I am going Metro tonight!

  

  Mission accomplished: Josh working the grill with one of his partners. I want one of their cool t-shirts!

  

  So UPC Thinks It Can Dance?
  
  It’s not very often where you will see members at my church get up and boogie. I guess that is why I was glad that I brought my camera along to service this past Sunday. We just finished up with a week of Vacation Bible School (VBS), and the kids learned a dance to some praise music (which has a Lion King/Little Mermaid feel to it). Well, the pastor’s wife thought it would be a great idea to have the congregation do the dance as well! Viral video gold! Here, why don’t you just watch it!

  
  Some things that cracked me up.
  1.Most of the congregation is doing the motions quite well!
  2. I like the enthusiasm of the teachers!
  3. Seeing my pastor do the motions during the bridge part of the song was worthwhile!

  Currently…Falling Behind the Times
  I’m not too fond of the “Currently” extra on xanga. Especially as a music fan. When I want to share a song, I want people to have the opportunity to hear it (instead of linking somewhere). So, I will experiment with this Grooveshark widget for the time being. You can leave a comment on my musical tastes if you wish!
