I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Here's the quick and dirty: teacher, freelance writer, aspiring screenwriter, wife, mom, fan and promoter of Asian-American film. I do want to achieve in my career, but I truly believe that being a decent, kind human being is the most important thing. So that's what I strive for. I have to give a shout out to my awesome Korean-born husband, family, friends, and God for their support and encouragement. I don't blog over here anymore, but you're welcome to visit my blogs at

If you send me a friend request, please also send a message as to why we should be friends. Please don't bother hitting on me--my husband may not be very tall but he CAN take you.
We traveled to New York in October to cover the Justin Lin comedy, "Finishing the Game." Here's my writeup:

If you want to read more of my writing, go to citybeat.com and put in "Elena Stevenson." Or, just go to my blog.
AND JUST IN CASE you were wondering, "hapa" is a Hawaiian word loosely translated to "half." It's become a designation for anyone of mixed Asian ancestry, and it's not a slur....it's an expression of pride. So, I'm a "Hapa's Mama" because my son is half Korean. My thanks to lovely Mel for sharing HAPA PRIDE with us and the world.

So You Think You Can Dance

I just went over to YouTube, hoping to find a video of tonight's show. No dice, so the pretty British host will have to suffice. It cracks me up how she says, "Los AngelEEZ"... I love this show. I to...
