  My Baby
2008/5/19 12:00

What's it like in Japan today? I've started getting used to things here.

Last night, I looked up at the moon. It had been a while since I'd done that, and it looked so far away. But then I started to think that everyone in the world looks up to see the same moon, and that made me feel good.

There are a lot of things I'm noticing that remind me how far I am from Japan.

I want to take everything in at once and grow from it before I go back.

I met a super-cute baby this morning. Just seeing him made me feel better.

Hm... I want a baby...

Filming has finally begun
2008/5/20 12:00

Today, Ai's manager will be taking over for her. Filming has finally begun. Ai has been calm and settled into acting right from the first scene. She seems to be getting along well with Vaness Wu, so this should be fun. From today on, there'll be at least 12 hours of filming each day. Look forward to seeing the result.

PS: If there's time later, Ai will post a blog entry.




Hello!Online note: You can see a very short video clip of Ai practicing her martial arts moves on set here.


Ai~ya!

"Action!" I wonder how many times I heard that word yesterday... Every time I hear that word, my nerves tense up, and my heart races. That's how yesterday was, day one. Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten into my character yet, so yesterday's first action was really me fighting with myself. I've never done anything quite like this, and it's full of fun and difficulty and frustration. But I'm really happy to be doing my first real role as an actor. I'm happy that I find myself thinking more and more about my role in the movie. That's how it is. It's been really, really hard, but it feels like I can get over this difficulty with help. That's when I thought about something people had told me a lot; "Getting too accustomed is not good." That really is true, isn't it? But not getting accustomed is no good either... So, ask until you understand! Rest when you're tired! Eat when you're hungry! Huh? (lol) Yeah.

Yesterday, it took about six hours to film five minutes of the movie. That's so long! But when I was actually on the set, I didn't notice the time fly by. "Oh!" (six hours pass...) Like that. Yeah, that was it (lol)

It's interesting the way the staff all speak different languages on the set, like Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Thai, and English. So, when we have free time, we all write notes in different languages to study and allow us to communicate. That's always fun. Oh, that reminds me. Yesterday, my manager said, "She was speaking English with Vanness Wu," but I wasn't really talking fluently! Sorry... I'm still learning, so when I hear a difficult word, I'm like "?" (lol) Everybody calls me "Ai", but when I miss my mark they all say things like "Ai-chan, mochotto, matte" or "Daijobu desu ka? Suwaru?"** trying their best to speak Japanese. They're all so kind. But when it comes to the real thing, they can be strict. Anyway, we're filming more action scenes today. If I let my mind wander, I could get hurt. I'll focus my nerves, keep smiling, and do my best today. I saw some comments saying that there's a storm in Japan. Are you all okay? It always rains where I go, and it rained here all day. That's not good... Xie xie.

PS: The food on set is good ☆

**Note: These translate as: "Ai... wait... moment" or "You okay? Sit down?" Ai also wrote the phrases in katakana, to emphasize that they were spoken in a foreign accent.




Tea

In this photo, you can see a drink holder. Everybody has one, and they can put their favourite drink in it! There's a filter inside, so when you put tea leaves in and pour hot water on it, you can drink tea. I'm drinking Tie Guan Yin.
