LA Shoot + Working with Chad Future

Heyoooo guys!! Happy 2014 and hope you had a safe and amazing new year's ^^ I know I did!!!! I'll talk about that later though but today I just want to update you guys a bit on what I did over my winter break!! Winter quarter starts next Monday soooobbs but I only have ICS lab on Monday and since it is the first day of instruction I'm pretty sure I won't have to go..............

BUT YEAH on Sunday the 15th, my brother Ivan and our friend Matt drove up and made a stop at my apartment to pick up something and we did some shooting nearby also ^^ Afterwards we continued up to LA~~~


Totally in loooove with my 6D *_* 24mm on FF is absolutely breathtaking!!!!


Meet Matt yaaaaayy I love him hahahahaa he's THE BEST


These kids think they're so cool


For lunch, we decided to visit the popular and infamous Magic Restroom Cafe..... HAHAHAHA JUST LOOK everything in the restaurant is toilet-themed and omg..... just don't think too much of it when you are eating..... The food is alright and the drinks weren't as cold as I would have liked \: I ordered fried rice and yogurt green tea, Ivan ordered chicken curry and I forget some drink, and Matt got the beef noodle soup and milk tea. The portions were really big!!!! None of us finished our food, not even the guys......!!!!

Later that night we dropped by Iota Cafe, which is located at the heart of LA in Ktown. I've been there a few times before and the owner, Brian, is reaaally nice and friendly!!! He wasn't there that day though \: But the main reason we went to Iota was to help film for Chad Future's upcoming music video!!! If you don't know who he is, he is an aspiring musician who draws much of his creative influence from Kpop. Check out his Youtube channel here!!

It's not like we were doing anything important since we were just extras, but just having the experience of being on set and personally observing the behind-the-scenes of filming and broadcast is really worth it.... I honestly hate being in front of the camera (lol ironic) but a little give-and-take is necessary ya know? Dave (his real name) was soooo friendly and nice and I have so much respect for him!!! Despite all the hate he gets (mostly racism and the like), he still continues doing what he has a deep passion for.... he's also really chill and easy to work with!!! He's also reeaally patient too, since we keep messing up l0l yeah what a great guy

Oops sorry hella bad phone quality cries
I don't know why I look like a crazed fanatic I SWEAAARR I'm not like that..... 


Dave was really nice and treated us to macaron ice cream sandwiches!!! They were created in name of my apartment mate Sara ^^ She and Brian are pretty close!!! Thanks Dave for giving us the opportunity to meet you and work on set!!!!!


We finished filming at around 7:30pm so we just decided to get dinner at Iota before heading home. I am totally enchanted by their green tea latte........ It's sooooooo good and their latte art is beaaaauutiful!!!! I get it every time I go to Iota *_*


Ivan and I shared this!!! It was REALLY GOOD but I don't remember what it was lol oops


Matt got the Psy burger HAHAHA yuuumm it looks delicious

And yeah that pretty much sums up my first shoot with male models!!!! A very fun and eventful day ^^ Even though I got to learn a lot about shooting and filmography, I don't think I would be down to be an extra again though.... I'm just too shy and self-conscious and acting is actually a lot harder than it seems ==;;; it is very repetitive work.........

Aiiiight will update you guys more later!!!! Seeyaaaaaa
