Life As It Is

I love books. I love HP. I love GOT. I sing part time. I’m dramatic as fuck. I’m 30. I love to shop. I love to decorate.

“Crazy Rich Asians” Author Kevin Kwan Optioned His Book for $1 to Ensure Hollywood Wouldn’t Whitewash the Adaptation

In the delightful new rom-com Crazy Rich Asians — which consists of a principal cast entirely of Asian descent, a major feat in Hollywood — a college professor (Constance Wu) travels to her boyfriend’s old stomping grounds in Singapore to attend the most opulent wedding of her life. (And to survive the wrath of the women vying for her boyfriend’s attention. And her boyfriend’s intense mother.)

The film, an adaptation of the 2013 novel written by Kevin Kwan, is a major win for the Asian acting community, but in a new Hollywood Reporter feature, some behind-the-scenes drama nearly prevented it from being a faithful big-screen experience.

As Kevin recalled to the publication, he rejected numerous “lucrative” offers and instead optioned his film for a mere $1, forgoing a large paycheck to ensure he maintained involvement with creative and development decisions. This was, Kevin said, after one disastrous pitch strongly recommended he change the Asian heroine to a white woman, since nobody would be interested in seeing the film otherwise. (“It’s a pity you don’t have a white character,” he was told by the producer.)

We don't want more white people than we already have. THIS is fucking awesome. I am so proud of being an Asian American.

Music

So, I’m sitting here listening to music sitting at my Mac to find new music. So I come across a small compilation of Bebe Rexha’s hits. 

Catchy and her lyrics are pretty good. I’m a sucker for meaningful words. Some of it is pretty typical of current tones (i.e. F.F.F ft. G Eazy) though. I like her sound. Also very current and in, but still better than some of the stuff I’ve heard.

My babe, doing what she does best. @Regrann from @isthatjessiej - Woke up feeling all types of feelings. The world is in a broken place. I prayed so hard today for love peace and equality. I wrote this song 10 years ago. When I was 18. And the lyrics still ring so true even now. #standupforthelovelovelove #Regrann

Late night thoughts

I am not beautiful in the way most people see beauty. My beauty is in the way I have overcome difficult and heart wrenching times. My beauty comes in the way I still believe in love and romance when all I've seen is the opposite and have known betrayals. My beauty is in all the ways I try to do what I can for other's, even when I don't have enough to give. My beauty is in the way I have grown to love myself, even when it is really hard to see myself clearly. My beauty is in my imperfections. My strength comes from perseverance. I am never done growing. I am never done learning. What is meant for me, God will assure that I am to have it if I work for it.

@Regrann from @jesyshelf - Only few pages of the first part of Milk and Honey but I have a favorite already! This one is soooo on freakin' point. *heavy breathing* 😳 - I'm reading it so slow like 5-8pages a night. It makes me savor every meaning of each words. Enjoying it more that way! 💕 #Regrann
