Playboy
“Hey playboy
It’s about time and the time is up”
I have to rethink about my love, you know?
Why did you do this to me?
You played with my heart
You played with my soul.
I trusted you
You lifted me up
Up to the sky
Now..
You knocked me down
Down to the ground.
Hey playboy
Is this how you play your game?
Is this how you play with my love?
You never know how I felt about you
I hate...

American dream-Childhood
If you dream about a better place, a better country on this Earth to live, it would be the United States of America. It can be anybody in anywhere; United States of America will be their first fantasy choice. Karissa Joyce Yip is a girl who I am has plenty of talents. During our creative project performances in the classroom, Karissa...

er..wastn’ it David? not Bryan? =.=ll, i think you typed wrong name..^^..I agree with you on the Safe Space one. Virkham was so harsh to any body who is not South Asian. I think he sees people racist toward Asian, but infact he is the one who is racist.

M. Butterfly [flash back #5]
The final scene where Gallimard dressed up as Butterfly and killed himself with a seppuku suicidal way. It showed how Mme. Butterfly and M.Butterfly can be the same and also not the same at all. In Mme. Butterfly, madame Butterfly was being used with her love and trust by her White husband. In M.Butterfly, Gallimard was being used, controled and played like a toy by Song. However, in...
Safe space?? Not
Safe space is a script that talks about the right for any one who is gay and lesbians. However, this is just only for the South Asians, ex: Indians. As for the meaning of Safe Space, it has to deal with all kinds of sexuality persons from young and old. I don’t really like this script much, especially because of Virkham. He is so rude to the people that are sitting around him, especially to...
Glassmask: Work it! Act it! [M.Butterfly flash...
Once a person is in a play, once person is a character, he/she has to work it out, act it out and show the true self of the character. That person has to learn the way of his/her character’s behaviors and characteristic. Even if a man plays a woman’s part, a woman plays a man’s part, it’s the same thing. As long as you know deeply inside who is the character’s true...

So, today we only discussed more deeper into the M.Butterfly script and we played some of the scenes in the script. Through out each of the play scenes, we realized how different between Western and Eastern women are. It showed how submissive, obdient, quite, pleasing the Eastern women are, where in the Western side, the women were more like strong, tough, aggressive, and more ever they have a lot...
M. Butterfly [ flash back 3]
“Gallimard: Helga, I want a divorce.
Helga: I take it back. China is….beautiful. Incense, I like incense.
Gallimard: I have mistress.
…
Helga: You can’t live with her, but still you dont’ want to live with me.” (57) [Q]
I felt it was a humilating, phony and agony at the same time for Helga. When she changed all suddenly from hating China to loving it. Being...
M. Butterfly [ flash back 2]
“Song: No. (beat.) Because only a man knows how a woman is supposed to act.” (49) [Q]
I think it is quite true. When the woman is in love with him, he can read her mind what she’s going to do next, what she’s planning to please him. Being contact skin to skin, heart to heart with the woman, the man can learn some actions and feelings his woman has. But as for Gallimard, he...
M. Butterfly [ flash back 1]
“We, who are not handsome, nor brace, nor powerful, yet someone believe, like Pinkerton, that we deserve a Butterfly.” (13) [Q]
I think Gallimard has a stereotype about the Asian people, especially Asian women. Most of the time, Western men think that Asian women will make the best wife. Because these women are small, submissive and obedient. They can please their man easily. These...

Interviewed Ms. Karissa. ^^
1) What did inspire you to do the creative project by demon stories?
K: UHm..Marshall showed us one of the demon stories on Youtube by his previous student. She talked about her discomfort here in America. She was discriminated and Uhm..Yeah..On the other hand, I felt the opposite, I saw many Chinese people like me, I could enjoyed food in America that are the same in my hometown like...

Creative Project
This is the first and might be the only class that I enjoy study and play around with the classmates alot. By the creative project, now I get chances to learn more about my classmates. From the creative project, now I can see how awesome and cool they are. I love them alot ^^.

Creative Project Analysis
Being able to write a spoken word piece, I have to have a lot of experiences about what I witness, hear, touch and feel. Tears started to fall when I was reading Catfish and Mandala by Andrew X. Pham in Beggar-Grace chapter. I read through the part where Andrew described the beggar girl and how she was trying to make a living by begging people money and food. From that point, all the pictures...
Is it a sin?
An average day in Vietnam
Tiny little souls slowly wander on the streets
They are lottery sellers.
THey are beggars.
Some are young,
some are old,
some are blind,
some are handicapped.
The old ones carry the younger ones.
The young ones take care of the older ones.
Together, they lean on each other to make
a living.
Day and night,
Tiny little soulds slowly wander on the streets

The Sweet Connection
A connection connects the two different worlds together. It connects you and me, him and her, father and son, mother and daughter. Even the Earth has to connect with other planets in the solar system, toward the Milky Way and even beyond the whole universe. In Catfish and mandala, which has written by Andrew X. Pham, he applies the sweet connection between words by using hyphenations for each...

It makes my brain becomes exhausted….. Why do they always want to create a lot of tension toward me….? Why dont they try to understand my feeling …my suffer….my...
The Sedulousness
Ring! Ring! Ring! The familiar sound of the alarm rings exactly 4:30 every morning. There he goes, carefully crawls off the bed, carefully not to wake his family up, carefully packs his food, carefully ready to go to work. Coming to this country, leaves everything behind accepts everything, to let… his children have a better future. He… patiently tries to make everything alright,...
