Avatar in 3D - AMAZING!

OK, me and James Cameron are cool again. I'll admit it: I HATED TITANIC. And, worse part, I could not understand why everyone loved it. Eww.

But Avatar - wow. It really made me fall in love with cinema all over again, even though I don't remember ever falling out of love with it in the first place. Well, let's just say it reaffirmed my love for movie-watching.

The graphics and the storyline were both compelling and I loved every minute of it. In the name of full disclosure, one of my favorite movies of all time is The Matrix and Avatar has a lot of the same themes: rage against the machine, the idea of "the chosen one," a love story, and hey, even a training sequence. As an added bonus, Keanu Reeves isn't around to ruin the movie with his bad acting. (I love the man but I've also come to terms with the fact that he's a terrible actor.)

Take-home message: amazing film with unbelievable graphics. If you love watching movies, definitely catch this one in theatre and in 3D. Enjoy!

Fresh off the press!

This is a super-quick sneak-peek of this super-cutie. What a ball of adorableness. And yes, he does have that "new baby" smell. <3

Benji

This is actually Fiona "Fi" Orange Nguyen. (Yes, that's her full name.) And I finally watched Benji and understand why some dude saw Fi walking around and called her"Benji." They look very similar. She's just as independent and loving. And lick-happy, too. If you leave your face unguarded for even just a minute, expect some frenching. Oh, she's too cute for words sometimes.

How to be an Entrepreneur

Invent a business that smiles on the world. Discover what is needed that you believe in with all your heart. A service you are really good at and love to do. Let it be your classroom. Try new ideas. Play with everything. Dive in. Cherish good people including yourself. Get negative people out of your life. Romp on the floor with your dog. Make friends with trees. Listen to their stories. Believe in butterflies. If they can fly a thousand miles think what you can do. Earn enough to feed your need but not for your greed. Leaving a heritage so that when you die you will be missed.

How to choose a wedding photographer, according to Melissa Jill

I totally agree with her short-and-sweet write-up on how to choose a wedding photographer. As it applies to me:

1. Yes, I hope you like my style. 'Cause I can only replicate my style, no one else's. Trust me - I've tried! :-P
   
2. Inquiring clients sometimes ask to view a whole wedding. And I gladly provide them with links. Sometimes they don't ask. And I gladly provide them with links. [:
3. And yes, finally, personality. This blog is slowly becoming my vehicle for broadcasting the nuttiness that is Chung Nguyen. I'll pretty much be just like this in person. Alas, I can only be me, no one else. (Again, I've tried! :-P) I already know that I work well with most people because I'm very flexible (sometimes almost to a fault, actually). If you are looking for a super-star, prima donna photographer who has a strict vision and sticks to it no matter what? That's not me. If you want someone who's prepared but shows up without expectations and just captures what she sees through her own eyes, I might be the one for you.

That is all.
