01.27.12 - The Amazing JetLev

Hello everyone!

It's not everyday that you'll see something unique, fun, and exciting! Last year, I had an opportunity to cover this amazing experience. Have you ever seen those James Bond type of gadgets? Well imagine seeing an actual Jet Pack that can make you fly! :) I had gone to Newport Beach last year to witness a person soar through the air with a Jet Pack. It is called "JetLev," abbreviated for Jet Levitation. Looks like theres about 10 at the moment that are available in different parts of the world. The source of it's power is actually from a JetSki that has been modified. Tubes are harnessed to the actual Jet Pack itself that releases tons and tons of water power. Raymond Li is the developer of this awesome breakthrough!

JetLev has released it's jet pack throughout different locations such as Lake Havasu, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii and Florida in the U.S., and in Germany and Singapore internationally.

01.18.12 - IMATS 2011

Hey guys,

I know I haven't written about IMATS in depth but I just wanted to acknowledge that part of production is definitely the art of makeup. I had gone to the International Makeup Artist Trade Show in Pasadena on June 25-26, 2011. It was one of the most interesting conventions that I've been to. They offer a variety of makeup in different brands and also features many ways of utilizing it. Not sure if I had mention that correctly but makeup really creates something artistic to the extent of regular daily makeup. It's quite exciting for me since they even had special effects makeup creating different creatures including monsters, and some just went out of their way creatively. Here are a few photos taken by me at the event:

Not only that I've seen different creatures but I also bumped into many familiar beauty vloggers from YouTube. :D I got to meet Josh (Petrilude), Judy (Itsjudytime), Jarmaine (Jlovesmac), and even Kandee Johnson. Kandee is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. As you can see in the photo, she was genuinely sweet and really wants to meet her fans. :) During that moment, I had told her, "I'm not leaving until I meet Kandee Johnson!" Then she replied, "Well you're not leaving until I meet you!" :) Hehe.. Just a really sweet moment. She has been a true inspiration to so many, even those who aren't beauty gurus/vloggers.

Anyway, I wanted to thank my friend Lindsey for letting me know about this event. If she didn't tell me about it I wouldn't have known. Here are my friends Lindsey (left) and Christina (right) at IMATS.

01.18.12 - Stop SOPA!

Greetings everyone,

I just wanted to write about something important. Looks like there's a bill going around lately called (SOPA) Stop Online Piracy Act. This bill will cause the censorship of the internet which may shut down social networking sites, blogs, search engines, etc.. This will also mean that people who would like to express themselves creatively will not have the opportunity to share their work to others as well as to inspire and reach out to people. I support the fight of online piracy but, I'm sure there's another way to handle the situation instead of disabling of the internet which caused millions of jobs for Americans and others.

Thousands of websites like Google and Wikipedia had blacked out their websites warning of the dangers of the legislation and pushing people to contact their congressional representatives.

The voting of The Senate will commence on January 24. Let's let them know how we feel and sign the petition on Google.

01.4.12 - God's beautiful creation

Nature really shows how wonderful God's creations are. I thought I'd share this tree-like figure with you guys. It's actually rivers forming a piece of art in Baja, California, Mexico. It was featured in National Geographic. Photograph courtesy of Adriana Franco/National Geographic.

Anyway, wishing everyone a very blessed 2012. Let's keep the Faith, Hope, and Love. Remember, let's keep God as our #1 priority, and everything else will follow. :) Love to you all!
