Why Are There So Few Asian Beach Reads?
Why Are There So Few Asian Beach Reads?
about 2 days ago

I have been asked to curate and host a discussion panel of Asian American authors, writers and poets for CityLit Project at the Baltimore Book Festival on September 29th and 30th! The theme I have chosen for this year's panel is the dearth of lighthearted, fun and fluffy reads in Asian American literature. Basically, there are hardly any Asian beach reads. Are we only appreciated if we write tragic, weighty stories?

Filipinos, especially Filipino-Americans, should be very aware of the miseducation of the Philippines that has affected our upbringing and even the way we are raising the next generation.

Cultural appropriation is a topic that never goes away and one where the goalposts are constantly moving. And when people talk about it, it turns into a furious debate almost immediately.

A Filipino-American Look at Netflix's First Filipino TV Series
A Filipino-American Look at Netflix's First Filipino TV Series
about a month ago

Brillante Mendoza's TV series "Amo" is the first Filipino-made television show to be picked up by Netflix. Though often compared to other shows about drug wars such as "Narcos" and "The Wire," there is a lot that would be unfamiliar to or lost on most American viewers.

The Crazy Rich Asians trailer drew a huge reaction online, especially on Twitter. Instead of criticizing the movie, I decided to post a thread listing a bunch of other Asian-centered books written by Asian authors as alternatives. The thread was picked up by Buzzfeed and they brought me on their live morning show to talk about it.

Two Asian American Role Models For National Girl Crush Day
Two Asian American Role Models For National Girl Crush Day
about 2 months ago

April 27th is National Girl Crush Day. The first time National Girl Crush Day appeared on my radar was in 2015 when I saw a bunch of people tweeting about it and nominating women and girls who were inspirations to them. I want to nominate and talk about two women I've been following closely this past year: Ruby Ibarra and Ellen Pao. 

A Brief History of Red Lipstick
A Brief History of Red Lipstick
about 2 months ago

I've been wearing a lot of red lately. Sometimes it's been a pop of red lipstick or red nails. Sometimes it's my entire outfit, from my lipstick all the way to my bag. No other color represents love, strength and passion the way red does. It is the color of extremes. Our prehistoric ancestors saw red as the color of fire and blood – energy and primal life forces – and most of red’s symbolism today arises from its powerful associations in the past.

I am very skeptical of the freeing benefits of the internet economy now. In theory, it sounds great. It can be and has been done. But it's so rare when it does. The few success stories create such a false sense of hope.

Weed The People: The Case For Full Legalization
Weed The People: The Case For Full Legalization
about 5 months ago

A lot of the backlash and unwillingness to legalize and decriminalize is because of bias. When it comes down to it, those not in support of weed just don't like the kinds of people who use weed and want to see them punished. The national attitude about weed is changing along with attitudes about the criminal justice system. In the words of Kylo Ren, "let the past die. Kill it if you have to."

Since the weather was absolutely crappy all week here on the east coast, I spent it indoors reading and catching up on TV. I binged all four of the Dave Chapelle Netflix specials (my other favorite comedian besides Chris Rock) and read a lot. I also caught the premiere of cycle 24 of America's Next Top Model.

Can you really train people to be more accepting of diversity after making them sit through a 2-hour seminar? No. Let's be realistic. It's too conceptual. And simply outlawing bias doesn't make it go away.

@makeupforeverofficial Ultra HD foundation is one of my all time favorites. If you like Becca Ultimate Coverage Foundation, you’ll like this one too since they are very comparable in terms of finish (matte) and coverage (full). I love how selfie-ready my skin is when I wear this foundation. It dries matte but not cakey. I use a setting powder like Hourglass Veil Finishing Powder but you don’t really have to. It lasts a full day (about 8-10 hours) with very little touching up. The color range is also comprehensive so everyone should be able to find their shade. #aestheticdistance #mufehdfoundation #mufe #mufehd

So.....if you want to view the entire 6 minute clip, I put the link in my bio. I was interviewed by @Theferocity about the Crazy Rich Asians trailer that dropped last Monday and I talked about the importance of reading books about Asians that were written by Asian authors.

My 80s obsession will continue into this summer. I use all @goodyhair products to style my hair - ponytail holders, clips, barrettes, bobby pins. This hairstyle was so easy, I literally styled it while standing in the wind and using my car window as a mirror. I pinned the sides back from my face with two bobby pins and then I braided just the length of my hair down the side before using a dark ponytail holder to secure it. Then I tied my new @asos_us pineapple hair scarf into a bow on top of my head, leaving out a few pieces in the front.

I got this foundation in Y360 - Medium with Golden Undertones. I was very skeptical about this product bc I wasn’t very impressed with their eyeshadow palette (although I attribute that more to them sending me the wrong color palette than I usually like to wear). Let’s talk about this foundation now. First, it is a medium coverage formula and it comes in a very attractive squeeze tube. It’s not full coverage but enough to cover any imperfections like uneven skin tone or dark spots. There is SPF 25 built in but if you take a flash photo, there is no flashback that I noticed. Another thing I liked was how it had the expiration date on the package bc I can never remember how old my bottles are. You’ll need a good primer underneath bc it was not easy to blend, even with my trust beauty blender. And even then, it kept moving around on my face. So that was a big disappointment. It wasn’t the right formula for me but maybe it will work for you. . . . . . . . #SoShameless #complimentary #contest @marcbeauty @influenster
