Gina Hiraizumi 2010 Calendar — AVAILABLE NOW

From an email:

Available online for just $12.99, this keepsake calendar made possible by the HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE BEACH RESORT & SPA is a labor of love-  a project inspired by the idea of wanting to give back to a community that’s shown her enormous support for her career from the early stages….the Hawaiian islands.

From childhood, as Gina traveled frequently between LA-Hawaii-Tokyo, her parents, Gary & Kumiko have always ingrained in her & her 2 sisters the Aloha Spirit and Kokua- a philanthropic gesture of generosity, to always give
to others, without expecting in return.  And now it’s time to pay this mantra forward to the next generation.

Partial proceeds will benefit  TKO HELPING HANDS, Gina’s non-profit charity of choice founded by Maui-born, Mandy Yamauchi-Ellen. (a former Raiderette cheerleader!) TKO (Turn Kindness On) was founded  in 2001, with the goal of awakening a child’s passion for giving at an early age. TKO believes that the best way to teach a child about the power of service is to engage them in meaningful projects – traveling the world visiting orphanges
and care centers, feeding homeless and encouraging children around the world to make a difference in the life of someone else.

So…..stuck on what to get HIM for Christmas? Too busy to go Christmas shopping?

what I didn’t see last night.

I was at the Fit ‘n Right thing last night, so here’s a coupla things that I didn’t get to see:  )

Katwo rawkin’ out.

Kim Chiu eating sum Sebastian’s

Valerie Tan hosting Voice for a Better Life Music Festival

Then again, if I was anywhere near where the-things-that-I-missed-last-night were, I would’nt have gotten to hang out with my blogger friends!   (Or, okay, I wouldn’t have gotten to see the very pretty lady with the same watch as me :p )

The Ballad of G.I. Joe

I mean, after their battles, the Joes and Cobra do stuff … for fun … and stuff, right? Spot the cameos!  (Also, Vinnie Jones, bitch!)

From FunnyorDie:

lily allen – the fear.

Here’s the video for her latest single, “The Fear:”

the veronica belmont post.

If you were a fan of the late-90s The Screensavers or Call for Help, then you probably know Tekzilla already.

— and, and — if you know about Tekzilla, then you probably know about the awesome Veronica Belmont!

Here are some beautiful shots of her from The Bui Brothers.  (The photos were released under CC, so I do hope it’s okay to put this one here.)  Also, if you subscribe to the newsletter, you’ll be getting updates on some behind-the-scenes stuff, which should be pretty cool.  Check it!

To keep up with her wired lifestyle, check out her blog.  To keep updated with Tekzilla and other cool shows from Revision3, check out their YouTube channel.

P.S.

In the last few months that I’ve been glued to Tekzilla, I’ve never seen nor heard anything about a creature that’s called ‘the’ Tekzilla.  I’m hungry.  :p

The Cult Of Y-E-S

Imagine being a person who has to say YES to everything.  How would it feel?  (Incidentally, isn’t “why not?” the same as YES?)

In “Yes Man”, we are introduced to Carl Allen, (and you know this part already — but in case you didn’t:) a self-loathing, middle-aged, loan approval officer-slash-divorcé whose idea of a “parteh” night is renting out DVDs, while dismissing his friends’ offers to do ANYTHING — even to the point of dropping their calls.  (Why bring a phone in the first place?)

The audience is immediately given a sense that Carl’s negation to everything is what’s making him miserable.  (Rephrased: was he miserable because he said “no” to everything, or did he say “no” to everything because he was miserable?)  That is, until his old friend Nick tells him about the cult of Y-E-S.
