It’s bike maintenance day! 😺🏍🔧

Honestly this is the first time I’ve done more involved jobs like taking apart my calipers and rebuilding them. I have the typical stock toolkit that fits under the seat and I just don’t carry enough repair stuff with me, nor do I want to. I’m finally somewhere that has extra tools I can use. I’d love to carry a breaker bar, a torque wrench and full size sockets to make things easier, but I chose the badminton, book and skincare life 😹

I forgot how much I missed wrenching. I usually just pay for oil changes on the road because I don’t have a drain pan, nor do I want to deal with the logistics of how to drain the old oil or what contraption I can make to catch it blah blah blah.

So I’m happy to be working on my own bike. She is my machine. Don’t be fooled, I learned and am STILL learning how to do this stuff from YouTube University and sometimes I ask mechanics a bunch of questions before I dive in.

If I can can do it, you can do it too.

How #StarringJohnCho Changed Hollywood At a time where Hollywood was turning a blind eye to diversity, #StarringJohnCho challenged the notions of American casting. In 2017, Scarlett Johansson was cast as Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell, igniting major uproar. “The original film is set in Japan, and the major cast members are Japanese. So why would the American remake star a white actress?” William Yu, the creator of the movement, started posting his #StarringJohnCho creations on Twitter. Soon, the internet ran with it. The hashtag is flooded with brilliantly photoshopped movie posters that made John Cho the star lead. From action films such as The Avengers, to rom-coms like 500 Days of Summer, the renditioned posters showcased a new perspective on casting and pointed out the fatal flaws of the industry. From internet meme to global movement, #StarringJohnCho amplified the demand for Asian representation. "The timing of this campaign was so perfect, in the sense that Asian Americans were ready to assert themselves and the public at large was probably primed to accept the idea in a way they hadn't before." -John Cho "The campaign wasn't just about John, and it wasn't just about money. Yes, diverse films do better finacially and are better returns on investment. But it's also the case that great films and built around great characters [that also showcase our humanity.] Our passions. Our pains. Our dreams. All of us deserve to see our flaws and joys depicted on screen," said Yu. Which is your favorite #StarringJohnCho poster?

As an indie s/songwriter, I spend like all of my time deep in the studio, but my most memorable moments are when I can get out of my little room and lose myself in nature. My biggest dream is that one day, I’ll be heading out to play a live concert for you. Kindly stay tuned for my new release tomorrow: “ALL A DEM” a song about how it feels that first moment when you found your other half and fall desperately in love.

Born in San Francisco, Carlos Villa (1936 – 2013), was an Asian-American of Filipino descent. He once described himself as “a Filipino not born in the Philippines—I am an American, not fully accepted because I am a Filipino in America.” 

Villa’s work explored cultural diversity and identity. He lived in Los Angeles and New York in the 1960s, but returned to San Francisco in 1969. There he began teaching art and became involved with multicultural activism.

Let me tell you a personal growth story about Being Bold:

The first time I applied for Klim’s Ambassador program, I got rejected. The second time I applied, I got accepted. YES. Excited to see wherever this moto journey takes me. I’m all in. Everything on black.

Rejection isn’t failure. Failure is giving up. And we don’t give up here, do we? Not when we drop our bike, not when we have a door slammed in our face. What matters is what we do when faced with rejection.

Be Bold. Head down, put in the work.

📣AMW event alert: @sfsilentfilm The Toll of the Sea screening📣 Event: A Day of Silents Date: Saturday, December 3, 2022 at 9 pm Location: Castro Theatre, 429 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114 Website: https://silentfilm.org/event/toll-of-the-sea/ Description: “Live music by the Sascha Jacobsen Ensemble. The earliest surviving feature displaying the two-color Technicolor process, The Toll of the Sea was restored from a rare camera negative. The story by screenwriter Francis Marion bears more than a little resemblance to Madame Butterfly and like Butterfly, its orientalism is problematic. But the melodrama is redeemed by the exquisite early color process and by Anna May Wong’s dazzling turn as the self-sacrificing Lotus Flower, her first starring role. The New York Times said, “She has a difficult role, a role that is botched nine times out of ten, but hers is the tenth performance.”” Tickets: $18 general/$16 member for The Toll of the Sea. $95 nonmembers/$85 members for the day of 6-silent movies lineup. Full lineup here: https://silentfilm.org/ados_schedule/ This film is a must see for any Anna May Wong fan! If you’re able to, please attend the screening so you can watch it “live” with an audience. Luckily, I’m from the Bay Area so I’ll be able to attend. 😉 #annamaywong #annamaywongtribute #annamaywongfan #annamaywong💎 #annamaywongactress #annamaywongpic #annamaywongforever #annamaewongfans #annamaywongstyle #annamaywong✨ #annamaywongrealness #chineseamericanactress #1930smoviestars #annamaewong #chineseamerican #asianamericanactors #asianamericans #asianamericanhistory #oldhollywood #classicmoviestars #silentmovies #silentfilms #silentera #silentfilm #silentmovie #silentfilmstar #silentmoviestar #silentmoviestars #technicolor #goldenageofhollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CivwqsnvAcu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
