Asian Americans Celebrate Heritage Month at the Governor’s Mansion By Lita Martija C.K. Lau

of Transportation, a state agency.

“This Heritage Month is a special opportunity,” the governor said in his speech,” to acknowledge and honor the achievements of Asian Americans, and communicate to the community the diverse contributions of Asian Americans to the overall vigor and vitality of the economy in the State. He also introduced his wife Anne (they were married since they were 19 years old) stating that they also nurtured the American dream and began from simple beginnings to the Governor’s Man-sion. He said he and his wife have begun study-ing the Mandarin dialect.

The governor then introduced special guest Elaine Chao, Department of Labor Secretary.

Tallahassee--Hundreds of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the State of Florida flocked to Tallahassee May 26 to join Governor Scott’s special reception at the Mansion to cel-ebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month., a traditional congressional proclamation in the month of May.

The reception, held at the mansion’s lawn, welcomed busloads of community leaders rep-resenting hundreds of Asian American organiza-tions from all parts of the State where they en-joyed wine, sushi, and array of ethnic food. There were cultural presentations at the lawn ranging from native dances to martial arts to ethnic mu-sic.

Dr. Clyde Diao, a Filipino American, Chair of the Asian Coalition of Tallahassee (ACT), and a member of the governor’s cabinet, introduced the governor. He enumerated the various state government’s economic plans, especially the 777 project of the governor, which is geared to help create jobs for Floridians. He said that the Heritage Month reception was begun three years ago under then Governor Crist, He then thanked Governor Scott, on behalf of Asian Americans, for continuing the tradition. He specifically thanked the Governor for appointing Ananth Prasad, an Indian American to head the Florida Department

Ms. Chao, an American of Chinese ancestry, spoke of her early years in the country, speak-ing no English at age 8, but nurturing a dream to one day achieve the American dream. She did, from a one bedroom apartment in New York City to becoming Labor Secretary, the only Asian so honored.

Elaine Chao 趙小蘭, the first Asian Pacific American woman and first Chinese American appointed to a President’s cabinet in American history. She served as the United States Secre-tary of Labor from 2001 to 2009.

Li Na became China’s first-ever Grand Slam singles champion in the French Open final. Newly-crowned French Open champion Li Na has set her sight on next month’s Wim-bledon Open. Li claimed the first grand slam women’s singles title for China and Asia, beat-ing defending champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy 6-4, 7-6 (7-0) in the French Open. The triumph also raised the 29-year-old to world number four from seven.

A middle school in China has given up their regular acrobatic exercises. Instead, school children started to dance like Michael Jackson. More than 700 students’ stage mass performances of Michael Jackson dance routines appeared in a school in Chongqing City in southwest China. Their favorite robotic routine - from the video of his hit Dangerous – is believed to have been inspired by internet footage of prisoners in the Philippines performing MJ’s Thriller dance.

They have also choreographed their routine to the Korean hit melody, ‘Nobody’, by the Wonder Girls, in the past, said the principal. Headmaster Wan Lu, 36, explained: “We used to practice tai chi but the students said they wanted to do something more modern. The video ends with a message from the school’s faculty, reading “all our efforts are worthwhile as long as the children grow up happily.”

This video showing more than 700 school children dancing to Michael Jackson’s “Dangerous” has taken the Internet by storm.

School children in China Do Michael Jackson Dance Routines Every Morning

Li Na’s win to inspire young ChineseLi Na also changed the sports in China

permanently. Today Tennis is the third-most watched sport on Chinese television, behind basketball and soccer, and is gaining popular-ity among players. Last year, it was estimated that 14 million people in China regularly play tennis, up from 1 million when the sport re-turned to the Olympics in 1988. That’s three times as many as in France and about half the 27 million estimated tennis players in the U.S.

Shanghai-based Oriental Daily said she was the “No. 1 Sister” of Chinese sports. Her semifinal win was watched by as many as 65 million viewers in China, according to the French Open website.

“Today is a dream comes true. When I was a young player, I wanted be a Grand Slam champion,” said Li Na. Find your passion and stick with it.

Best Beaches in AsiaThe reasons to visit Okinawa

Okinawa consists of more than a hundred small islands at the southwest of mainland Japan. The island chain has a comfortable subtropical climate with high temperatures and high rainfall, which keep the islands verdant all the time. Tourists may come at any time of the year except between late summer and early fall when destructive typhoons visit the islands.

Cultural AttractionsThe culture in Okinawa is a mixture of Japanese and

Chinese influences evident in the various landmarks in this city. A top tourist attraction is the Gyokusendo King-dom Village that showcases Japanese culture and crafts like Eisa dance performances, dying textiles (bingata), and brewing of awamori. The Ryukyu Village is a theme park that presents the Okinawan culture and lifestyle. The Castle Ruins (Nakijin Joseki) offers a stunning view of the Iheya Island and the Hentona city.Beaches

The island of Okinawa has so much to offer for tour-ists who want to enjoy the summer heat in the beaches. One of the best summer destinations is the Moon Beach, which is known for its coconut trees, white sand, and pristine blue waters. The beaches in the Iriomote and Ishigaki islands attract many local and foreign visitors as well. The best time to go to the beaches of Okinawa is between April and November when the weather is warm.Watersport Activities

Okinawa is home to the most diverse marine wildlife and stunning coral reefs in the world, making the place perfect for water sport activities such as scuba diving

and snorkeling. Among the marine wonders to explore in Okinawa are manta rays, tropical fish, octopus, hammerhead sharks, and sea turtles.

Yaeyama Island is one of the main island chains in Okinawa, is a famous destination for tourists who are looking for an alternative to the busy and active cities in Japan. The relaxing rural life in Yaeyama islands offers not only se-renity, but also opportunities for water adventure activities.Shopping

The major shopping street in Okinawa is the Kokusai-dori, which is lined with malls and shops that offer handicrafts, jewelry, and other

souvenir items.Cuisine

The Okinawan dishes are a fusion of Japanese and Chinese culinary styles. Some of the delicious dishes you must try in Okinawa are the Okinawa soba (wheat soup with pork nuggets), somen (wheat noodles), irabu-jiru

(sea snake stew), yagijiru (goat stew), and irabu-cha (parrot fish). Don’t forget to order Okinawa’s specialty rice liquor, the awamori, and the popular Orion Beer.

Walgreens Commits to Title Sponsorship for the Orlando International Dragon Boat Festival

ORLANDO, FL., May 24, 2011– GWN Dragon Boat announced Tuesday that Walgreens will be the new title sponsor of the annual Orlando In-ternational Dragon Boat Festival on October 15, 2011 held at Walt Disney World® Resort.

Entering its fourth year, this unique event features participants competing in 40-foot long canoes adorned with decorative Chinese dragon heads and tails. Teams consisting of 20 synchro-

nized paddlers, one drummer, and one steer-sperson, race down a 500-meter course on Lake Buena Vista. Social groups, corporations, and fitness enthusiasts alike embrace the sport of dragon boating because it builds camaraderie, emphasizes teamwork and unity, and promotes a healthy lifestyle.

“We are excited to have an organization such as Walgreens take a leadership role in the event,” said Aaron Soroka, Chief Operating Officer, GWN Dragon Boat. “Their focus on the health and well-ness of their customers and staff make the sport of dragon boating and this event a perfect fit.”

“Dragon boating combines teamwork and physical fitness with centuries old tradition,” said Marlin Hutchens, Market Vice President, Wal-greens. “We are excited to play a role in promot-ing healthy living through the sport to our custom-ers as well as the people who work for us.”

The Walgreens Orlando International Dragon Boat Festival will be the last stop of the Major League Dragon Boat Series. It attracts recre-

ational and competitive teams from all over North America and has been the catalyst for many new start-up teams in the Orlando area. With help from the Orlando Health Foundation, in partner-ship with MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando, the number of teams participating at the one-day regatta is expected to surpass 100 this year, making the annual event the largest in the South-eastern United States.

“Dragon boating has proven to be a great physical therapy for breast cancer survivors so it aligns well with our mission and outreach ef-forts in the community,” said Cheryl Collins, vice president, Orlando Health Foundation. “It’s a great way to be physically active and support a great cause.”

GWN Dragon Boat and Walgreens believe this sponsorship will encourage others to discov-er the benefits of dragon boating and a healthy lifestyle. For more information or to register a team, visit www.gwndragonboat.com.

April 30, 2011 marks World Tai Chi and Qigong Day and at Barber Park a disciplined group of practitioners of all ages and knowledge levels come here for one reason: To heal the world with their “Qi” one step, one breath at a time. This is what the event is all about. Every-one around the world does these meditation in motion exercises at 10 a.m. in their time zones, which creates a “healing wave” and promotes the benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong. I was very honored to read and receive for the group a proclamation from the Mayor of Orlando, Buddy Dyer proclaiming this day, April 30th, 2011, World Tai Chi and Qigong Day. After a group photo, it was now about time to start the event. Everyone found their places and at precisely 10:00 a.m. started to do their forms, which some were as long as 20 minutes and shorter forms were just repeated until everyone was finished. I asked the participants about their experiences which were very similar and unique. We all then sat down to a Pot Luck lunch where everyone shared their food and drinks. After giving a brief discussion of the history of Tai Chi and Qigong, I then turned it over into a question and answer session where

The World Tai Chi Day in Central Florida

novice student Maria asked “how long should I practice my Tai Chi each day?” I told her at least 30 minutes a day because this is a slow aerobic exercise which massages your joints and liga-ments and makes your body more flexible and pliable and it also improves your body’s balance, which leads to less slip and falls and gives you a more energetic and youthful look - which in-creases your longevity. Sifu Cliff Black posed another great question to the group: “Which is more important, the student or the teacher?” The group thought for a minute and was split down the middle 50/50. Sifu Cliff said, the answer is, you need both of them because if this art is to survive, you need a knowledgeable teacher and a willing and disciplined student. If one of these is missing, the information cannot get passed on. The “lineage” will stop. The group then found a partner and practiced “Push Hands”, which is the martial aspect of Tai Chi Chuan where awareness of yourself, your partner and the surroundings is the key to getting better at this disciplined long-term exercise . The day was coming to an end and I felt everyone who was there shared and be-came a little more aware of the true depths that

Tai Chi and Qigong has to offer and our positive “Qi” energy took one step and one breath closer to healing the world!

I want to thank everyone who came to my 6th annual event especially the Sifus and teach-ers: Cliff Black, Katherine Vaccaro, Bob Waers and Don Moore.

Sifu Sam Winters of the Hsin Yung I-Chuan School of Tai Chi a long-term practitioner who has performed many “friendship demonstrations” at Asian festivals and events around the Orlando area for the past 4 years. He has also served for 2 years as a Judge at the Inter-national Chinese Martial Arts Tournaments and previ-ously competed and placed for 8 years on the ICMAC circuit. Anyone interested in being a part of World Tai Chi and Qigong Day 2012 or having a Tai Chi demon-stration performed at their Asian event or business, or receiving Tai Chi and Qigong instruction, please contact Sifu Sam Winters at (407)238-7450. Leave a message or e-mail at [email protected].

By Sam Winters

Every year on April 30th at 10am World Tai Chi & Qigong Day occurs because thousands of people worldwide who share a

common vision of hope & healing for our planet and her people come together each year to organize events in 65 nations.

Purposes of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day: 1) To educate the world of the profound health & healing benefits of Tai Chi & Qigong for indi-viduals, communities, and nations 2) To thank Chinese culture for creating and sharing these profoundly valuable gifts with the world 3) To bring together people across racial, economic, religious, and geo-political boundaries, to join together for the purpose of health and healing, providing an example to the world.

As Tai Chi teaches the body to move and change more easily and effortlessly, it provides a model for the mind and heart to change more easily, too. Therefore, as you continue with Tai Chi, you may discover you eat healthier, drink more water and less soda, get better rest, adopt habits which are healthier and more beneficial to you and others, and spend more time with people who make you feel good about yourself.

By Master Kerby KuekSource: The Standard - www.thestandard.com.hk

A person who died during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake was born at 1pm on May 17, 1972. Another person born in the same hour and date remains alive in Hong Kong.

A mainlander who died during the Japanese tsunami was born on March 18, 1955. Another person with similar birth details lives in Malaysia.

What these examples tell us is very clear: there is a flaw in using your birth date when seeking to divine your destiny from fortune tellers or fung shui masters.

The life-reading experts can tell you all sorts of things in a beautiful and nicely written Chinese poem. But one thing is for sure: they can’t tell you your actual date of death.

If anyone can, please let me know so I may learn from him or her.

I have been searching for great masters for the past 15 years - and I am still searching.

No one can tell you precisely when you will die - or even the exact date and locations of disasters, such as the quake and tsunami in Japan.

We have to understand that all living beings are on Earth for a reason.

If you believe in karma, you know that only saints are sent to heaven while those with sins are sent back to Earth to rerun their life.

This is to say that all humans are not perfect and often make mistakes. We are here to live again to make us better - although some often make the same mistakes again and again, creating a larger and larger karmic debt. A collective debt - mistakes by the same group of people - is especially detrimental.

In my previous article, I pointed out that respecting others will certainly change your course of life. It is that simple.

However strong you are, you will still not be as strong as a tsunami.

However rich or significant you are, you can still became a victim of an earthquake.

So love your parents, love your country and, above all, be nice to Moth-er Earth, which nurtures us.

Thought of the day: We are not whole, we are only part of a whole.!

Death the great puzzle

Master Kerby Kuek has been practicing Feng Shui and life reading for more than 10 years. His areas of expertise include Chinese astrology, name analysis, face reading, as well as I-Ching. Kuek strongly believes that Chinese Metaphysics is nothing superstition: It is a combination of formulae, experiences and common sense, whereby a trained master can skillfully integrate it into your daily life and thus help you to achieve your personal and financial goals. He has published three books on fung shui. Email: [email protected]

The five elements of ancient Chinese metaphysics refer to the study of mountains, medicine, forecasting, astrology and facial reading.

But there is a caveat because once a name is given, say, to a cup, then everything else is not a cup. Another example is when water is in a bottle, it becomes a bottle; when water is in a bowl, it becomes a bowl. This is Tao. The term fung shui in Chinese simply means wind and water, but wait - this is not so simple in ancient texts and applications.

Ancient scriptures use the broader term kan yu, which refers to anything above (sky and cosmos) and on the ground. So actually the term fung shui refers not only to wind and water, but to the formation of the universe.

The Tao is formed from darkness. Yin and yang emerged from that and formed heaven (cosmic sky) and earth, then male and female, and so on.

One can see that Tao is not about religion, it is more philosophical and theoretically oriented toward explaining the universe - as does kan yu and fung shui.

Many, especially those with religious beliefs, think that kan yu or fung shui is superstitious and would rather not talk about it. I’ve had a professor, a government minister and others refuse to talk to me about this, and I can’t blame them because I was once a skeptic as well.

Twenty years ago, I was in the United States teaching martial arts to doctors, lawyers and accountants. Their enthusiasm and interest toward Oriental arts was intense.

A student came to talk to me about fung shui. Being young, I tried to change the subject by saying to him that this was superstition.

I can still remember seeing the frustration and anger in him as he replied: “How can you simply disregard your 5,000 years of Chinese heritage?”

I was shocked by his remarks. He then went on to elaborate that fung shui is nothing but a study of the environment and our surroundings - we are all involved whether we like it or not.

So do not belittle fung shui, just go with the flow.

Thought of the day: I do charity not because I have plenty but be-cause I know what the needy do not have.

Go with the flow

Chinatown Miami By Linda Lim

The Playground Theatre in Miami Shores, hosted the inaugural Chinatown Miami event on April 17th as part of its kickoff for the weekend premiere of the Red Thread. The Red Thread is The Playground Theatre’s rendition of ancient Chinese folklore with a modern twist for a more contemporary audience. Written by Stepha-nie Ansin and Fernando Calzadilla, it follows a young daughter’s adventures as she seeks to retrieve her father’s magnificent silk tapestry sto-

Dawn Dubriel

len by his older two daughters.

NE 2nd Avenue was blocked off from 93rd to 100th Street to serve as the venue for the Chinatown Miami open air festival. Local retail-ers participated in the event by setting up tables outside their stores and local artists and perform-ers showcased their talents at the Main Stage located next to the Playground Theatre.

Traditional Asian dance and martial art form

exhibitions took place throughout the day and modern gourmet food vendors were on hand to provide attendees with a taste of Miami’s Asian fusion cuisine.

The festivities ended with an entertaining parade of participants that included actors from the Playground Theatre, a local puppetry group, and antique car enthusiasts driving their vintage autos.

Thai New Year 2011—Songkran Festival

Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year (also known as “Water Festival”) which celebrated from April 13-15. It is an oc-casion of joy and family reunion. It is celebrated with religious ceremony and public festivities. People enjoy splashing water on each other as they believe that water can wash away bad luck, and splashing water over friends or anyone will give them a New Year blessing. When the young pour scented water on their elder’s hands, the elders, in return, wish them good health, happiness and prosperity.

Local Thai community in Central Florida gathered at Wat Florida Dhammaram (Thai Temple) on April 17th to celebrate the new year. Attendees had a chance to sample the authentic Thai food such as papaya salad, Thai grilled chicken, sausage, pad thai, and fresh vegetables. Other performances include live band music and dances.

LAO New Year 2011: Wet and Fun! By Bounsong

Lao New Year is known as “Boon Peemai” in Lao. It is also called “Boon Deuan Ha”, the Fifth month festival, because it is celebrated during the fifth month of the Lao lunar calen-dar that marks the end of the dry season and beginning of the rice planting season ahead of the monsoonal rains, or “Boon Hode Num”, the Water Festival, because water-throwing is one of the main events of the festival. Tra-ditionally, the festival is celebrated from the 13th to the 15th of April. This year, the Lao community in central Florida celebrated their New Year on the 23rd and 24th of April at Wat Navaram Buddhist Temple, 2381 Narcissus Ave., Sanford, Florida. Crowds from all over Florida and many parts of the United States had a chance to taste many authentic Lao foods and experience a variety of Laotian cul-tural shows and dances, live music, proces-sion of Miss Sangkhan (Miss New Year).
