My Favorite Happa Celebrities

A lot of people tend to have a fascination with happas. A happa is basically a person of half one race and half another. The typical combination my community thinks of as hapa is Japanese or any kind of Asian + any kind of white (it could be any combination though such as Korean and Chinese). The stereotype is that they are good-looking, which is often true in my opinion.

I realized recently that some of my favorite celebrities are hapa. Here's my current list:

(1) Kristin Kreuk (Canadian Chinese & Dutch actress from Smallville, Streetfighter, Eurotrip, Ben Hur, Edgemont, Partition, Chuck, & the upcoming show, Beauty & the Beast on the CW)

(2) Lana McKissack (American Japanese & Irish Youtube celeb from her own channel, the first season of Internet Icon, a David Choi music video, etc. Singer, actress, vlogger, Youtuber.)

(5) Dean Cain (American Japanese & French Canadian, Irish, Welsh actor from Lois & Clark, Smallville, Beverly Hills, 90210, etc.)

Sugarland

I've gotten into country music lately because of my boyfriend. I've always thought it was okay and knew I could probably like it if I listened to it more, but I just never had the motivation to sit down and look up songs. Now I love hearing country on the radio! haha Anyway, today I heard Sugarland's "Stuck Like Glue," which is a catchy song despite its irrelevance to my life (except for the being stuck on someone parts), on the radio today and listened to a bunch of her songs on Youtube. By the way, Captain Awesome (Devon = Ryan McPartlin from the TV show, Chuck) is one of the lead dudes in that music video.

I like this part from "Something More":

"Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate
I believe that happiness is something we create"

Me too.

This is a good video with good lyrics one too: "All I Want To Do" - you have no idea how much I want to just chill with Blake.

Wong Fu's Influence on Me

Some awesome artists I've heard about through Wong Fu Productions (Youtube site here):

In no particular order:

(1) David Choi: I love "That Girl" and "I Won't Even Start"
(2) AJ Rafael: "When We Say (Juicebox)"
(3) Kina Grannis: "Valentine," "Together," "The World in Front of Me" (the first song I heard of hers on a few Wong Fu Weekend videos), and "In Your Arms" are awesome.
>> She actually sings with David Choi too (See "My Time With You")

Mia Rose

I really like Mia Rose. So far my favorite is "Let Go."

:)

I Heart Eduardo

Listening to Eduardo Verastegui's "Viva La Locura" at the moment. I like "Tequila" too.

He sings (songs here), acts (he's in Chasing Papi, Bella, etc.), produces movies, etc. He was in one of JLo's music videos ("Ain't it Funny") too.

Too bad he can't be my Spanish tutor. :P

"That's my favorite song!"

Two days ago, Avery sang (at the top of his lungs) several lines from Miley Cyrus's "The Climb." Of course, he missed and mixed up a few words, but it was adorable anyway. That pretty much made my week.
