Books I Read in December 2018

I’m back from a month-long blogging break after moving house this month. Thankfully, everything has gone smoothly and I managed to fit in some reading (albeit at a much slower pace than normal) with non-fiction being the order of the … Continue reading

#100AbChallenge Begins Jan 1st. You in?

This is the biggest challenge we’ve EVER done. I’m personally committing to doing 100 reps of a unique ab exercise every single day, for 30 days. And guess what? I’m going to go the extra extra EXTRA mile and give you something I have NEVER EVER done before.

I’ll be uploading 30 workout videos in 30 days.

YUP.

1 video for day, per move.

Ambitious. But I’m gonna do it. Because I don’t want to hear ANY excuse for you to not join in! So, if you’re ready to commit, go in the comments right now and type “I’M IN!”

Here’s the challenge:

WHEN:

Jan 1 to Jan 30

WHAT:

Do 100 reps of the ab exercise listed for the day! Whether it’s all 100 reps in one go, or 10 sets of 10 reps – doesn’t matter. JUST FINISH IT.

Take a before picture on Jan 1 and an after picture on Jan 30! As long as you’re eating clean and drinking tons of water, you will see and feel a difference at the end of the challenge! Use #100abchallenge if you post anything along your journey! This will help us all stay motivated and connected!

WHERE:

Anywhere! You can do all these moves with no equipment! Print out this printable above and hang it on your wall and also head over to YouTube.com/Blogilates to watch my daily video showing you EXACTLY how to do each move! I’ll also suffer through the 100 reps with you!

AHHH!!! Are you ready!!?? This is SO EXCITING! I AM PUMPED! I’ve never done 100 reps of a lot of these moves, so I am curious to see how I will do! Also, if you want me to collab with a particular person, comment below and tell me who!

GOOD LUCK!!! Now, type “I’m in!” and share this post with at least 1 friend!

“The Enchanted Oasis” – our official wedding film!

2 minutes before I went on stage, I ripped up my speech.

My dad once said…”You have 3 choices. You can either be a doctor, a lawyer, or…a failure.”

I didn’t like any of them. So I wrote in my own answer to that multiple choice question.

I spent 2 days struggling to write my acceptance speech for one of the biggest achievement awards of my life. But…just a couple minutes before I stepped on stage, I ripped it up. I decided to speak from the heart.

To be honored with the Digital Influencer Award in front of so many people I respect and admire – directors, actors, writers, authors, singers, and fellow creators I’ve watched for so many years – my body was shaking, my heart was racing, but my soul was flying.

Choosing to follow my passion was scary. I tried to ignore it, but as the days passed on, my heart became more hollow, more fragile, and more lost. I wanted badly to make my parents happy, but I didn’t know how it would be possible if I wanted to be fulfilled too. There were times I even thought of ending it all…

Eventually, my soul couldn’t take it anymore…so I took a risk…on myself, on my family, and on my future. I dropped out of Organic Chemistry, sabotaged my perfect Pre-Med record, and followed my heart to where I am today.

If you grew up Asian American, you’ve probably heard this story. Maybe you ARE this story. Perhaps you’re still trying to figure out YOUR story.

My parents gave me an extremely rough time growing up, but I owe it to them for igniting this INTENSE fire inside me. Their blockades taught me how to FIGHT HARD for what I wanted. We still have a lot to work through, but I love them so much for helping me become the woman I am today.

Thank you Kore Asian Media for this incredible honor and for bringing together so many inspiring people in our community for a moment to stop, dress up real fancy, and celebrate! Thank you to my fellow creators for your genuine friendship and enthusiastic support. And thank you to YOU GUYS, my POPsters – you are the reason why I’m living my actual dream. THANK YOU.

2018, what a year.

Now…here are some photos from this year’s Unforgettable Gala at the Beverly Hilton, which honestly feels like prom – but like, MUCH MUCH BETTER :)

Me holding my award! It’s so pretty! And actually, dangerously sharp!

On the cover of this year’s KORE Magazine with some VERY influential people in our community!

Here’s me on the Red Carpet wearing my Sherri Hill ballgown. Guess what? IT HAS POCKETS.

Sam Tsui and Jen Chae (Frmheadtotoe) presenting the Digital Influencer Award to me on stage! So special to have my friends there with me for such a special moment.

Incredibly honored to share the same stage as author of my favorite book series, Crazy Rich Asians! Yay go Kevin Kwan, John M. Chu, and the cast of CRA!

Me and da hubs! He didn’t want to go on the red carpet but I made him :)

Friends. Casey Breves, Sam Tsui, me, Sam Livits, Jason Chen and Lucia Liu.

Ballgown life with Jen! Can we wear ballgowns all the time!!??

Okay Jeannie Mai and Mama Mai are HILARE. I can’t even.

Eugene Lee Yang basically winning red carpet fashion.

And finally, Sam Tsui being the friend we all need.
