The internet tells me that this is what the 4th of July is like in the USA.  Lots of Beer, no rules, and the a pool.

Can anyone verify?

One of my first days here at Bigfoot I Liya snapped this photo of Vanessa, Dora, & I.  Time flies by so quickly here it feels yesterday.  Over a month has passed though.  They say time flies when your having fun, but I have experienced that first hand here.  As my contract comes to a close I have been very introspective about my time here.  What has been on your mind lately?

I am a huge fan of Keep Calm & Carry On.

So when I was asked to design a T-Shirt design for SexyMandarin I jumped at the chance.

Working with Tina & Vrenna we were able to iterate and make a catchy slogan.  “Keep Calm & Study On.”

Would you like to see this for sale in the SexyMandarin store?

Let me know in the comments!

It’s only Tuesday but Vrenna & I are already looking forward to our trip this weekend.  There are so many choices of places to go… We have talked about the Whale Shark, but I really want to try bowling.  I used to go all the time but haven’t been on this trip.

Anyone know something fun to do in Cebu?

I am so lucky to have such a great friend with me here in Cebu.  Vrenna has truly been there for me when I needed her.  She listens and gives the best advice.  I am feeling blessed.  Sometimes life can be hard, but having a close friend here that really looks out for me is great.

Beach Day

Most of us are at the beach today relaxing and thought it would be fun write some of our favorite quotes to teach a bit on our day off.

It is never too late to become what you might have been.” – George Eliot

努力成就你自己永远都不晚。George Eliot

What is your favorite quote and why?

TIME OFF

Dragon hurt herself at dance practice the other day so we are all taking a bit of a break.  When she got hurt, I think the producers saw we had been so focused we hadn’t had enough time for fun.  So now we are going to the beach tomorrow.  Not for a photo shoot, just for fun.  I am excited to have a break!

Lips Out

Penny & I produced this photo, along with all the other photos from Vanessa recent set.  It was a first for me, but we were asked to stretch our comfort zone and try something new.  The other group of girls did something similar,  we were all given the same budget and space to create something special.  Vanessa pulled off the playfulness Penny & I were looking for.  Who knows maybe this is the start of a new chapter for me…

What did you think of my first foray into the picture industry?

Next Step

I have been on the production for a while now and have been thinking about how much longer I would like to model.  I may start learning how to teach children and change professions.  I have been talking to Kiki, a SexyMandarin teacher, about this.  She teaches karate full time to children. She also models, but loves the time she gets in the classroom.

If you could change professions what would you do?

Ughh.

Reddit is the most frustrating site I have ever seen.  Everything I post gets downvoted right away.  That or no one notices what it is.  I give up on that site. Facebook is so much better, plus it has Candy Crush.  #2points
