More Munn Madness


Sunday, 02.27.2011

Oh Munn, don't look so sad. Your Audrey spread was an internet sensation!

I would have to say that our Spring cover was a success! Olivia Munn is a Hollywood It Girl right now and after passing the pdf files of the story to her publicists, our story content somehow leaked to Just Jared. (No complaints here. We’re grateful for the publicity.)

At first, I was thinking of keeping the feature under wraps until the issue has been on the stands for a couple of weeks but since they’re all over the internet now (thanks to the other JJ), might as well plop it on here for your viewing pleasure.

Audrey Magazine Spring ’11 | Olivia Munn


Thursday, 02.17.2011

I’ve been sweating and slaving for the past couple of months but the second issue is finally going to print!

Ain’t it a beaut?

Funny gal Olivia Munn is rocking the Shirley Temple curls. Inside, Munn dishes on Chinese mothers (she has one!), dating celebs and her loyal fans.

Snapshot Of My Day: Day With the Grunts


Thursday, 02.17.2011

Warning: the following the post contains extreme acts of nerviness, dorkiness, laziness and geekiness

Ah, WordPress backpage, you and I are such good friends now.

I stayed up way late last night working on something really dorky. I was trying to figure out all the nuances to making the Audrey Magazine site work as smoothly and looking as pleasing as possible.  Specifically, I had spent all afternoon creating this About Us page and when I clicked “About Us” on the bottom left of the homepage, I wanted it to be directed to the appropriate page.

It’s really amazing how much we say we don’t know about something out of fear or laziness or not trying but once we actually sit down and devote ourselves to 2..4…6..even 8 hours or learning, how much we’ll come away with knowing.

Motivational Monday: How He Loves


Monday, 02.14.2011

At times when we get wrapped up in what WE should do, how WE should behave, it’s good to sit back and think about how HE loves us and the reasons directing our behavior and actions. Why are you doing the things you do? What is your purpose for doing it?

This song makes me cry almost every single time I play it. My heart gets this very full feeling. Happy Valentine’s Day, my most important Valentine. Thank You for Your love.

The Awkwardness of HS Prom


Thursday, 02.10.2011

When our sister publication, KoreAm, announced that they wanted to publish Awkward old prom photos, I dug up my old photo album to see if I could contribute to the awkwardness.

Lo and behold:

Yes, that is a lot of Asians.

Snapshot of My Day


Wednesday, 02.9.2011

It’s not everyday you get a call after lunch to get to an audition for a commercial. (Thanks sis for the submission!)

That’s for Mercedes Benz.

That stars Kobe Bryant.

The catch: I had to go from regular ol’ Janice in a brown sack shirt, jeans and flats, my hair a bird’s nest atop my head to a classy art gallery owner with the lashes, the dress, the works.

Scaredy Cat


Friday, 02.4.2011

"Yikes, you're big!"

As I get up there in age, I’m realizing that I’m becoming more and more prudish. I mull things over before I jump, I debate to myself before I leap. I sweat. A lot. So not cool.

This is My Year!


Thursday, 02.3.2011

This AMAZING drawing by my SEVEN-years old niece, Jasmine Yen. SEVEN!

This is my year.

Seriously.

This year’s Chinese New Year falls on Feb. 3 and will be, according to the Chinese Zodiac sign, the Year of the Rabbit. This also happens to be my birthday and my Chinese Zodiac sign. I told you it’s so my year!

I have this problem. I have a need to share with the world my passions and interests and hope that they will also enjoy it. Hence, this blog is born- to showcase some of the things I'm most fascinated with. Most of the posts relate to the media as it relates to me. (Blame the early twenties neurosis of thinking the world revolves around you). (More..)
