beware the devil who hides behind an angelic face...

yesterday, my husband once again proved that this guy who is allegedly helping us market our fundraising events this coming november and the miss teen asia usa in february is only in it for his own personal gains. as he again failed to call and did not show up in the meeting with him as he had said he would. this was the fourth time he wasted my husband's time waiting for him when he could've scheduled more important meetings.

personally, i found him quite sleazy the first time he approached me wanting to help in our events. because when i asked him if he was helping because he wants to go on the medical missions-- he said no, because he was interested in fashion shows. duh! we're not even doing fashions shows! i told my husband that i did not like someone with different goals and agendas joining our group-- because it will not work out. we want to set up scholarship grants and medical missions while he wants to be famous in the community and meet girls (and still remain single and a player)! and if you are going to ask how i know he is a player it's because he TELLS everyone about all the girls he has gone out with and been intimate with-- so please BEWARE of this person, ladies. he even lets his friends listen in on his phone calls-- even when he discusses intimate things-- you're on speaker phone, ladies.

i find that incredibly disgusting! in our line of business i know there are sleazier men, but he is really at the top of my most repulsive list. the bad part is, he uses his good looks and plays up to older women and gays to get them to help him or to get them to let him near their daughters/granddaughters. and frankly i think he is gay. he just wants to play up the fact that he's manly and a player-- but he has to use a pill to be able to be with women.

i'm glad my husband only showed him the tip of the iceberg when it came to his connections. people like that will discredit him to his friends. hopefully, he doesn't do any permanent damage that cannot be undone.

i will let my husband cut the ties with this person. but if he doesn't cease and desist using our business cards to pick up women, i will publish his name and face in the asian newspapers to announce that he is not connected to the business-- i'm even thinking of the los angeles times for this one. then he will be famous in all the communities. i think it's shallow of him to want to pick up women using this modeling ploy-- especially when he does not even know the logistics of how it can happen! anyway, good luck to him! he gives angels a bad name.

Miss Asia California 2005

this post is long overdue! the miss asia california 2005 has a queen at long last-- miss sherry knight. the production was not as organized as i had hoped, but the audience had fun, the candidates had fun, i loved it! i think we have a beautiful queen, i can't wait to show her off in the various asian festivals this year-- especially with the miss asia usa beside her:) but her physical beauty is just the tip of the iceberg-- of all the girls who joined, she was the one person who said she is going to africa to help plant vegetable gardens-- and for me, that is the measure of a real queen. her heart.

i have worked with mentally handicapped children for two years when i was young and i never forgot how wonderful it felt to make someone less fortunate than i was happy. i know that this year of outreach projects and cultural events will be ingrained in our queen's memory for years to come. and we will work very hard to make sure she has fun all year!

i realized that somehow i miss putting a show on stage. i had always written and directed our plays from school and when i graduated it all sort of faded into the 'things i used to do'. i'm glad i married a producer, at least now i get to feel that adrenaline rush of curtain call three to four times a year:) and who knows, with how my husband always manages to remember what we dreamed of doing and what i want to do-- we may yet produce a stageplay of our own:) we are after all in hollywood!

for those who would like to see pictures of the event (even if i am not nearly done with posting them all), you can go to http://www.asian-night.com

thank you for your prayers, they helped a lot! and please continue to pray for our fundraising ventures... we need all the help we can get:)

random thoughts...

we only have one week until our big event. scary thought.

lesson learned: when something goes wrong, don't throw in the towel... sometimes the best things happen after disappointing moments. woohoo! we might get a korean candidate after all:)

i miss my friends. check out cherrie's blog, great writing, che!

my husband told me he missed me yesterday-- the first day we didn't see each other for eight hours straight since his aunt died. i thought that was very sweet of him.

saw an actual published press release of our event today, it was written in thai. even without make up they look better than miss asia usa:)

i wonder if i need more immunization shots for our africa trip-- i sure hope not, the nurse at my primary physician's office does not know what she's doing! she can't even draw blood properly!

i miss my sister-- my youngest sister's phone costs more than mine does-- and she's not even out of college yet! hmp! mental note: pamper myself a bit more. ooohhh las vegas here we come-- i should tell my boss that am taking my personal days after our pageant. hmmm...

this is getting too long... i should go back to work now hehehe:)
