| The Highs and Woes of an Asian American Princess |
| 2009-06-24 21:13:25 |
The Asian American Princess must go through a lot of highs and woes. Being targeted by SADs (Serial Asian Daters). Carrying around large and expensive designer hand bags stuffed with anything and everything you can think of. Having a white boyfriend even though you’re secretly in love with John Cho.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0ZjjMBXMpk
So here is the first official teaser for M. Night’s Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, the live action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s wildly popular animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender.
And I’m disappointed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM6nUX57gCg
This is not some computer generated special effect. This is an actual 1/1 scale Gundam RX-78 built for the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise. In Japan, Gundam is sorta like Star Trek in that it has permeated Japanese pop culture much like how Star Trek has in America. And just like how the USS [...]...

Japanesestreets.com posted a youtube clip of Jpop trio Girl Next Door’s music video “Infinity”.
