Meet Pepa's new boyfriend: Tom Lo


Pepa with her new boyfriend Tom Lo


Pepa (from Salt-n-Pepa), has found "love" with chef Tom Lo in her reality dating show Let's Talk About Pep. And daaaaaayum!! This guy is REALLY chinky.

Asian and black interracial dating is still considered a social taboo and them being an interracial couple will definitely turn heads around. Props for both of them trying to date outside the box though. I hope they aren't trying to pull a publicity stunt for TV ratings or whatever. I dunno, do you think they look good together as couple?

A clip of the finale:




Uggggh... I really dunno. But then again I'm not Pepa. It just might be his personality that Pepa is really into.

Hahahaha! This guy has lost his marbles! But you gotta give him props for doing an excellent translation of The Star-Spangled Banner. The anthem has such a different feel when it's being sung in Chinese though....

Susan & Emily Hsu singing 愛拼才會贏 (Ai-Biahnh Jah-eh Eah) to raise funds for Typhoon Morakot Victims



Susan and Emily Hsu, two Taiwanese-American sisters from the band Exit Clov, were featured on China Times for their fundraising efforts for Typhoon Morakot victims in Taiwan with their YouTube acoustic guitar/violin rendition of the Taiwanese folk song Ai-Biahnh Jah-eh Eah (Chinese: 愛拼才會贏) which means "you have to work really hard to succeed". Ai-Biahnh Jah-eh Eah is about persevering and overcoming the hardships that life sometimes throws at us -- which is very fitting especially for those who have lost everything because of Typhoon Morakot.

The YouTube description for their original video only anticipated 500 views through September 1st but because of news coverage, social media networks and internet forums, the video has gone viral and currently sits 88,286 hits (I'm sure it will have more by the time you are reading this) and there are plenty more days before September 1st. Here is the original YouTube video:



If you guys are moved by their song to help, by all means, check out their at site at: http://mousybabe.com/ and that is where you can find more details to help.


And because I really like the song, here are the Chinese, phoneticized Chinese & English translation lyrics of Ai-Biahnh Jah-eh Eah.
一時失志不免怨嘆
jit si sit ji mmm mehn wan tan
When you suffer a setback it is hard not to sigh,

一時落魄不免膽寒
jit si lou pek mmm mehn dam han
When you are down on your luck it is hard not to get discouraged.

那怕失去希望
la tong sit ki hi bbang
But When you lose hope,

每日醉茫茫
mui lit zui bbang bbang
And be in a drunken stupor all day,

無魂有体親像稻草人
bbo hun wu tay cin ciu dio cao lang
Then you are souless with a body, like a scarecrow.

人生可比是海上的波浪
lin sing ko bi si hai siong ey pou long
Life can be compared to waves on the sea,

有時起有時落
wu si kee - wu si lou
Sometimes it rises, and sometimes fall.

好運歹運
hoh oon pai oon
Good luck, bad luck -

總嗎要照起工來行
zong ma (jiao) ki gang lai gia
We still have to work.

三分天注定七分靠打拼
sa hun tin zu dia cit hun ko pa pia
For 30% is determined by heaven, while 70% is how much you strive for.

愛拼才會贏
ai pia a jia ey yia
Only those who work hard can succeed.

One on One - Jhoon Rhee "The Father of American Taekwondo" Interview



I always love hearing the come-up stories from successful people. I find their stories very inspirational and I thought I should share this particular interview with you guys. Here is a video of Riz Khan, from AlJazeera's One on One, interviewing the Korean-American OG, Jhoon Rhee. Jhoon Rhee is credited as the "father of American taekwondo" as he popularized Korea's national sport in the United States. Jhoon Rhee was a contemporary and a friend of Bruce Lee and in the interview Jhoon Rhee says he taught Bruce Lee how to kick while Bruce taught him how to punch. Jhoon Rhee became such a popular martial arts instructor that he even taught taekwondo to over 300 United States Congress members in Washington, D.C. and noted personalities such as Tony Robbins, Jack Valenti, Bob Livingston, Jesse Jackson, Jr., Nick Smith and Mike Espy.

Part 2:



This is the television commercial that advertised Jhoon Rhee's taekwondo class. The commercial and the jingle was hugely popular in its heyday.



At age 75, Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee demonstrates his speed punch and 100 pushups at Columbia, Maryland school. Mind you, this was less than a year after he had a stroke!
