Kudos to Zheng Jie and Li Na

Originally posted on Blogger.



Zheng Jie and Li Na became the first Chinese pair to reach the quarterfinals of an grand slam in Women's singles a couple of days ago. Now, after Li Na defeated Venus Williams, they are the first Chinese pair to reach the semis of a grand slam.

Zheng Jie is ranked 35th in the world and has been a grand slam winner in doubles. But if you remember, Jie had an epic run at the 2008 Wimbledon in Women's singles. Jie made it all the way to the semis there as well.

Li Na is traveling uncharted territory. Na is ranked 15th in the world and has steadly climbed the rankings the last few years.

Congrats to both for an epic run and good luck in the semis. Maybe they'll meet in the finals. Keep your fingers crossed.

The video below is NOT of the 2010 open, but highlights both Zheng Jie and Li Na.

This seems to making a bunch of the Asian American blogs out there.

And I am a big fan of Bruce Lee and Iron Man.

Dual Blogging - Update

I started a Blogger.com Populasian blog back on Novermber 14, 2009.  I wanted to try another blog tool out and see what it was like.  Well, Blogger.com's Blog is better that the Xanga blog WYSIWYG interface.  There's auto drafting/saving so I don't lose work, which happened quite often here on Xanga.

One of the best features is that I can set the date of the post.  I was able to transfer all the posts I've made here on Xanga to Bogger and set the date and time.  The other nice feature is the scheduling.  I can write up multiple post at a time and make improvements to it in the future.

After a week, I stopped blogging here.  Didn't want to deal with Xanga anymore.

I will occasionaly post here, but it'll be a direct copy and paste from the Blogger.com post.

YouTube's "Watch in High Quality" = Amazing!

I frequent YouTube to watch a lot of clips.  Especially the Taiwanese variety shows.

But the shows are normally very bad quality and I can barely make out the guest and hosts.

But YouTube introduce the "watch in high quality" option months ago.  Its just now that many of the regular posters are starting to give this option.

It really is night and day.  You go from blurry to clear.  Its not like regular TV to HD, but quite the same effect.  You're like wow, I can't go back.

Props to those that upload in high quaility.  Keep it up.  You're doing the rest of the world a great service.

I am only subscribing to peeps that upload high quality now.  There's no going back.

The 1st Los Angeles Taiwanese Film Festival

I recent found that Los Angeles will have its first Los Angeles Taiwanese Film Festival!  It will be held from December 12-14 at UCLA.

Some of the movies being shown there have been quite high profile, including:
  • Jay Chou's directorial debut, Secret
  • The 2006 Taiwan Film Festival Winner, Do Over
  • 2007 Art movie Reflection
  • Taiwan movie box office king of October, Cape No. 7

Some documentaries round out the rest of the time, along with some festival stuff like panels.

Everything is free except for the Cape No. 7 screenings.  I can see why, its the rage of Taiwan and Taiwan see it as an excellent film to promote tourism.

If I weren't so old and have a baby due around that time, I'd guarantee that I'd be there.
