New guilty TV viewing pleasures

I am loving America’s Best Dance Crew 3! I do get into the TV watching game late, as I usually avoid wasting time watching TV – and have been watching episodes online. I’m in love with Quest crew, and even more so because I have to support my fellow Asians. But it’s a close call with Beat Freaks, a group of strong females (one of who was Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku girls – how fun is that?) who don’t skank it up just in the name of dance. Really wish I could dance!

Not only have I fallen for one guilty TV viewing pleasure, but two – while watching ABDC3 on muchmusic.com, they aired a commerical for RuPaul’s Drag Race – a reality show about a competition for the next Drag Queen. A cross between two of my favorite shows, Project Runway, and America’s Next Top Model, except twice as fun! How could you not love a show with challenges such as “Drag on a Dime” and lines such as, “The time has come… For you to lip-sync for your life!” So campy, but love it!

On top of that – I am extremely envious of how fabulous the drag queens are! Man… after watching that, I feel like I need to use the freedom I have to act, dress, and look extremely feminine, especially being able to get away with it much more easily in mainstream society than they do. It’s safe to say that I (probably – knock on wood) won’t be shot at while outside a (gay) bar dressed exaggeratedly as a woman. I often think gay people have a lot more fun than straight people do, because they’re free to completely be theirselves and not worry about what others think of them. (Of course, I hardly know the dificulties they also have to go through.) Still, I think I can take something away from this.

About me

Originally, I created this page to hold all the little business cards I’ve accumulated over the years during my travels, in case I ever want to revisit. (Which would explain the oldest, brief posts with very little information.) I’m taking a year off from my job to travel through Hong Kong, China, Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Cambodia, (perhaps Malaysia or Laos?), and Singapore before heading down to Australia on a working holiday visa. This page is a way for me to keep in touch with family and friends, without innundating everyone with mass emails and unwanted long, boring stories that lose its meaning when “you had to be there”. More importantly, it’s a way for friends and family to quickly check that, yes, I’m still alive :)
