Our Plan

We are finished with pre-production and have already shot a few scenes in its entirety.  Including all the scenes in the movie trailer and more.  The Rose Cloth is a full feature movie.  So less than 80% of the film is yet to be finished.  Once our pledged goal reaches 100%, we will resume production full force.  The task will be spread loaded among the film crew.  The film production will be based in Atlanta, Ga. and rural areas.  Once completed it will be moved into the post production phase. 


What the money will be used for


The $40,000 from KickStarter will contribute to
  • Production:  80% left to shoot, equipment  rentals, cost of props, property fees & set location rentals  
  • Final Sound:  ensure clean, crisp sound as if you are there
  • Musical Score:  music to suit the mood
  • Color Correction:  final touch ups
  • Visual Effects:  computer graphics to enhance live sets and scenery 
REWARDS

Backers who chose DVD or Blue Ray as your reward will be mail out on the expected release in 2012.

Words for Women to Live By

Got this in an email so wanted to share it on Blogsphere.


1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

9 Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons - buy some Coronas.

12. Forget about the perfect man - he's living in San Fran with his boyfriend.

13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.

14. If it has tires or testicles it's gonna give you trouble.

15. By the time a woman realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.

'Good friends are like stars... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there'
'Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today'. Now smile and send to any girl wasting time at work, suffering from a hangover, or just suffering from life , they might need a reason to smile!

Chicken nuggets

Homemade chicken nuggets. Very tedious to make but very yummy. Made for the kids for breakfast :D


Beef pho with meatballs

I don't like eating pho but I do make them for the family since they do.

This is my son's bowl :D

NKOTBSB



I got a chance to see NKOTBSB last night! Definitely was one of a lifetime experience. It was such an awesome show!

I've been talking about it since last year but with low funds, I never bought a ticket.

Tuesday night, one of my girl friends called to see if I wanted to go with her. Heck yeah!!!!! It was a gift so I obviously couldn't say no ;P

Our seats were okay but I cannot complain about a gift, I really didn't care, I experienced it! My ears are still rining right now, hehehe.

Ashlyne Duff and Jordin Sparks opened up for NKOTBSB.

Aaawwww!!!!!!

I did it!



I turned in my two-weeks notice in at my part time job last Friday. I cannot wait to finally leave. I freaking haaaaate retail. I will never do that again. Customers are rude. Managers expect too much.

If I find another part time job that is reasonable, I will take it.

Honestly, I thought that working retail would be fun and brainless but the expectations are too high. Come on, I am a part-timer. I took the initiative to learn the products...and even in another department. I am the highest "sales" person in rank...but just cause I cannot get customers to open up credit cards, my overall rank is low. I refuse to harass customers to open up credit cards. No is a no. I ask two main questions - "do you have a xxx card?" "would you like to have one? you could save xxx money today." That's it.

Quest Crew: Victor Kim


It is no secret that I am in love with Quest Crew. They are the best dance crew. Ever. Period.
I found an old post where I confessed I had a dream of them two years ago, lol


I have been really obsess with them (again) lately. Blame it on their recent appearance on ABDC 6 finale cause they are just that good. I loved them so much with D-Trix but even without him, they are still the best. Every member compliments each other. They always let each one shine.

But even though I've been obsess and watching Quest Crew on YouTube and following them on Twitter....I've been really crushing hard on Victor Kim lately.

I love his personality, his dancing, his musical talent, singing, you name it. I read his blog. I follow him on Twitter. I subscribe to his YouTube channel. I've been searching for his photos recently too. Boy. Oh Boy.
There's just something about Victor Kim.
The funny part is I'm a Kim too! But that's through marriage :) but my hubby is not Korean, but Khmer, hehe.

Here are some of my favorite photos of Victor Kim. The man is just so sexy and talented. It's sad that I've been thinking how my life would've been if my parents never moved to Atlanta and stayed in Los Angeles, hehe. I know, I was only four when my parents moved to Atlanta. I would've had a chance to meet Victor and the Quest Crew members :D





Ha Roo Baghn: Korean bakery

Father's Day is this Sunday but I celebrated it last week with my parents. This weekend is my baby brother's second part to his Hmong wedding so I knew they would be busy, especially since my dad's youngest brother, Uncle Yeng, is flying from WI to GA for the event.

Since both of my parents love fruits and aren't a big fan of sweet cakes and prefer Asian cakes, which are more spongier. I went ahead with a strawberry style Korean cake. I forgot the name of the cake.

Went to my favorite Korean bakery, Ha Roo Baghn  

Yummy :)

Food: Chocolate Chip cookies

The other night, I realized I still have a few sticks of Land of Lake butter left. I only use Land of Lake for all my desserts if making it at home.

I realized I haven't made homemade cookies from scratch in a while so decided to do it today.

The green choco chip is made with pandan paste to give it a unique look and taste :D


Food: Shrimp Larb

Made shrimp larb the other day but didn't take pics. This pic was taken a month ago when I had a get together at the house with my sister and brother's girl friend.

I love eating shrimp but hate the de-veining and un-shelling part :D
