Twelfth Night
By Hem

I like going to the gym. It's true that there is a certain "high" from working out. I try to make it there 3 times a week M, T, W either 2-4 or 7-9. I've got a pretty good routine going and I continue to build onto it and challenge myself. I'm so happy that I've been ACTUALLY using this gym membership. I've always put off getting one because I felt like I'd just be too darned busy at work to use any of it. But happily since I'm freelancing I can make my own schedule so I don't have to work myself to the bone till 8pm and then be too exhausted to hit the gym. I don't know if it's cause i increased upper body mass but my waist looks tighter. I'm getting to be able to do 3 miles on the treadmill now. I could barely do 1 before. There things encourage me.

At church we had a great speaker come in to talk about fighting child sex trafficking and she drew an analogy about how she thinks she's sarah conner (doing those one handed pull ups with her psychiatric ward bed against the wall). She confessed she loves the way she looked and thinks she looks pretty hot in a bikini but when she decided to hit the gym for the first time in years, she could barely do 10 pushups. She found that just because she looked good, she wasn't strong. There are many cosmetic things that we do in our life that don't really exert any energy from our spirits and souls. Think about it. When you give to the needy or do something nice for a stranger, are you actually doing it to look good? Or are you exercising genuine love? Do you go the extra mile (or 2 miles!?) for a friend? How about a stranger? There are comfort zones and those are great to train in. But don't let it plateau your strength! Don't let is sap away your faith that God can do greater things in you and that you can be a blessing to others in miraculous ways.

I've never walked or fundraised before in my life. I was able to for the Stop Child Trafficking Now Campaign this past weekend because by faith I wanted to stretch myself and put myself in a position where I had to lift or be crushed by inactivity. I put my own money into funding a Public Service announcement that I wrote, produced and directed...and I don't even have a full-time job! To me this is growth. This encourages me that I am still able to surprise myself.

Body, Soul, spirit, all need to be trained...and it hurts but man, when my ipod his Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" Boy am I happy to be alive!

Peace, Love, and total groovieness

Summer 09

We've gotten great reviews on Microsoft Office 2010 the movie from tech blogs like TUAW, Gizmodo, Engadget, CNET, Creativity, Ad Age, and 'boards. Some landmarks moments include emails from CCOs of ad agencies, Steve Balmer himself Microsoft's CEO, Producers, director Lee Unkrich (cars, finding nemo, monsters inc, toy story 3), and director Peter Berg (the kingdom, friday night lights, Hancock). We got top #3 viral in the world for 2 days and 1 million hits in 1 week. I mostly have to write all this down here just as a journal entry for my own memory.

Now I'm on a new project with Microsoft this time for Windows 7. It's a great project to be able to dive into since the follow up of the last one from July. I've luckily been able to survive on sparse freelance jobs and some small unemployment checks for now and this project is going to help out. I think this video will be just as funny and action packed. We're messing with cool graphics and writing some funny lines on one of the worlds most popular video games.

I've lately been working out 2-3 times a week. I definitely feel healthier than the first half of this year. My chest and arms have gotten bigger and more toned. My endurance on the treadmill has definitely gotten better too! In the beginning I could only do 1.5 miles at a speed of 3-5 and it took 23 minutes. Now I do 2.5-3 miles at interval speeds of 4-8 and it takes me 23 minutes. I'm breathing better and my heart doesn't feel like it's going to explode. It can get addictive when I challenge myself with adding another 0.5 mile to the record. Going the distance :) I still have the belly though. I don't know how to get rid of that jiggle. Mergh.

So this summer kinda flew by huh? There was .... what... like 3 weeks of heat? It also flew by because of Office 2010. The rest was super mild: sunny but cool breezes. It's gotten chilly with Fall09 approaching already and I'm kinda not ready for it. I still haven't had my fill of tennis, ultimate, and going to coney island.

Eastbound & Down: The Complete First Season

Awesome week!

Great week!

Sunday/Monday- worrying about next steps and how to pay for rent, etc. When suddenly I get two phone calls Monday.
I get a call at 1 to help produce, scout, and wrangle props for a web video contest for Sensis Condoms for Tuesday and Wednesday.

It was a series of 8 videos that features Sensis Condom's new condom technology where you use "Quik Strips" to apply the condoms correctly since statistically 30% of men seem to not know how to. I argue "but isn't abstinence effective 100%?" OH SNAPZ!

Anyways that was good. Then I went on to help Dennis Liu's FIRST COMMERCIAL SHOOT with Radical Media! I was just a set P.A. but it was good to see my buddy on set doing his thing. It's another big step in the right direction for both of our careers. Photos after the jump...

so I PA'd Thurs, Friday, and Today monday for the shoot and it was all good money/work. I got to network a little on set and hopefully they will hire me on other Radical Media shoots other than Dennis' shoots.

So Praise God for the cashflow! Came right when I was wondering "What next!?" (See down below Luke 12:22-31)

Friday night after the shoot ended. I rushed home, showered, and bought groceries for Kevin Su's Go Away Party. It's sad that I only got to know him for 1 year. We became really good friends and professional partners too. I wish him the best while he's at VCU! We had a night of good eats (Rosemary Lamb Chops and Seared Salmon with Lemon. sides: Zucchini, Mushrooms, and Sugar Snap Peas.)

Then we plated KINGS a card/drinking game which was good confusing fun. hilarity totally ensued. I tried to put on a mini magic show but a lot of people starting filtering in throughout the night so I never fully captured the audience :/ I should just NOT do magic if I don't have people's attention. Like Literally- I would Reveal their card in an awesome way...and they were totally turned around and chatting with someone else. Anyway, Brad busted out his Karaoke Magic mic and hilarity ensued once again for a sequel.

SATURDAY WAS AWESOMESSS

I'm officially dub it The Hsu Spa Treatment.

Basically here's what happened on Saturday with Jesse, Steve, Andres, and Christine ...tell me it doesn't sound like a day at a spa.

10am-12pm Tennis Doubles Match (free)
12:30-1:20pm Really good, assortment of Dim Sum ($14 each)
1:20-2pm Walk around and find a block party on the street. Grab some Chinese bakery desserts and Iced Coffee/Milk Tea ($1.25)
2pm-3pm 1 hr Full Body Massage with Shampoo and Scalp Massage ($25 with $5 tip)
3-4pm Decided to make dinner together
6pm-8pm COOKED!

Potluck Menu
Bok Choy with Chinese Sausage
Chinese Style Blue Shell Crab with Ginger and Scallions
Marinated Pork Bulgogi with Mushrooms and Onions
Fried Soba Noodles with Sweet Balsamic Vinegar Sauce
Killer Garlic Jumbo Shrimp with Lime
Homemade (like with Half and Half, sugar, vanilla extract) Vanilla Ice Cream

8pm-Midnight Eat and Played 3 games of Poker

It was a perfect Saturday :) I think I have a pic...nvm

Luke 12:22-31
Do Not Worry

22Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
