vanae’s tip of the dae: never speak too soon

12 Aug

an unbelievable takeover in 2008 olympics, in the men’s swim relay 4×100:

notice the announcers biting back their tongue and yelling in astonishment when america’s took it by surprise.

so whether you’ve met someone great, and early on think he or she is the one…
say that you’ve never received a speeding ticket…
predicting a winner before the game ends…
NEVER SPEAK TOO SOON.

deep and grounded

have you been to vietnam yet? it’s a gorgeous country with rich culture and deep family roots. a culture that has survived many colonizations and changes through the centuries.

‘together’ is theme in vietnam. from living together, eating together, bonding or sharing together. the culture is rich yet lifestyle is simple. barefeet, honesty, sharing family dinners, working hands, and low red chairs..vietnamese culture keeps you grounded. it keeps me grounded with the values that make up who i am.

vietnam is special and i wanted to share it with you. what’s your cultural background?

yael naim is the incredible musician known for ‘new soul’, the song that plays in the MAC airbook commercial. i was able to catch her performance in sf in june and she put on a really fun show! we clapped, sang-a-long, and dance with her cute and humble demeanor. singing in hebrew, french and english, you MUST have her self- titled album Yael Naïm - Yael Naïm

the way i am

when was the last time you saw a film that inspired you?

this weekend, i saw the sigur ros film titled ‘heima’ with the special live acoustic performance of the band. the film was riveting, vibrant, audio overload (in a good way). beautiful cinematography. music that peaked all the emotions and senses. very feel-good. and educational on iceland and its culture. there was an intimate QnA session with the band, revealing their personable side.

if the film is playing near you…you must go see it. below, i am sharing the trailer.

megadeth put on a fantastic show! i have so much respect for their musicianship.

but before dave mustaine took the stage, my coworkers and i were backstage, talking to him. we huddle around in a circle around him just like good ol’ story time.

nikhyl: looks like it’s storytime.

dave: ha. i dont mind telling you a story. pick a topic. (everyone laughs)

vanae (blurts out): watermelons!

dave: okay. a story before or after i got famous?

vanae: before (of course)

dave: back in the 80’s in huntingon beach, there was a big beach party and everyone was eating watermelon soaked with LSD. i was frying out of my mind when hell was breaking loose on the beach. there was a conflict between the mexicans and the others. this guy was shot and had a bullet through his back…blood gushing out of his body. there i am, frying off my ass staring at the blood that was oozing out of his body.

everyone cheers! i’d invite him to my friend’s kindergarden storytime anytime!
vanae’s tip of your dae: you should be happy doing what you’re doing, if not, why are you there? the dave mustaine/megadeth experience and the message below makes me happy about my work:
