Re-engineering the traditional happy hour mixer format.

Here’s the problem with current happy hour mixers that I see. I know of a few groups that organize big happy hours. Mostly young adults. Some get 50 people. Some get 200 and over. Problem is, it’s not that effective. Well, I guess it depends on what your goal is. If people continue to come [...]

Mo’s Birthday Recap

Great birthday celebration for Mo. That was my first time at Marrakesh. Who knew that a 7 course meal would take us four hours? And apparently, that is typical. Great bellydancing by Mike and the bellydancer herself. See video below. We had girl on girl action, fruits being used as phallic symbols, Mike proposing to [...]

Asians That Make Me Proud: Kristi Yamaguchi

With what’s left of Asian Heritage Month, I’d thought I’d write about a few Asians that make me proud to be one myself. Asians by nature are a quiet proud group of people who don’t make alot of fuss about alot of things. We just go about our business and let our walking do the [...]

Thought of the day: Put The “Relate” Back In Relationships.

My thought of the day;
Regardless if it’s professional, personal, or intimate, you can’t have a relationship unless you know how to relate.
A few simple tips on relating;

Seek first to understand and then be understood.
Ask questions- Most people I know don’t ask alot of questions. But they sure do assume alot.
Seek commonality and talk as if [...]

Thought Of The Day: Being A Woman Can Cost Money

Recently, I bought a $50 gift card to be used at an Aveda Salon for a female friend of mine. It was her birthday. I knew she liked being pampered so I thought this was a perfect gift. I’m not big on buying gift cards for people, but sometimes it is tough to shop [...]

Dating in DC. Finding That Special Someone.

Lately, I have people (mostly girls) coming to me and saying that dating in DC is tough. Not surprising. It tends to be like this in most big cities.
In a big city like this, there is an abundance of options as to whom we wish to date or go out with. It’s both a blessing [...]

Defining Asians.

I found this online. Loving this stereotype. I can safely say that I’m only part Asian because I fulfilled #2, #6, and #8. 3 out of 8 only makes me 37% Asian. Damn.

A person who is from a eastern oriental country such as China, Japan, or Korea. Asians are usually smart and have the following [...]

Loving Chris Brown’s New Video- Forever

I’ve always loved the lyrics and beats to Chris Brown’s songs. He always infuses a great melodic beat along with something danceable. He’s got killer dance moves in this video. Makes me want to hit the dance floor.

I’d love to see a local online magazine for young Asians.

Here’s the format that I’d like to see;

An online magazine targeted towards young Asian adults (20-40 years old)
Uses a blogging platform to power the site.
Focuses on topics such as local events, issues, resources, editorial pieces, pop culture, etc…

I tossed the idea to Christian who is heavily involved in the local APA community, but I saw [...]

Can A Guy Have Too Many Female Friends?

I don’t know. But I sure do wish I had more guy friends at times.
There is a growing perception amongst my circle of friends and acquaintances that I am a “player” of sorts. I’ve also gotten “ladies man” as well. Boy- nothing could be further from the truth.
I started to really notice this disparity on [...]
