Few days ago, while channel surfing, I heard a female voice in Mandarin asking, “What did you get me for our anniversary?”.

“That’s my commercial!”, I screamed out to my friends.

About two years ago, I was approached by Kim Wang of Digital Art Video to submit a concept sales pitch for a Chase commercial. To my surprise it was selected and made into a commercial.

If you have dined in a Chinese restaurant or attended a Chinese wedding, you have probably seen the double happiness symbol. This Chinese character “Double Happiness” is a very important symbol in Chinese culture.  Since the commercial is to target the Chinese community, I kept to theme of Double Happiness.

The commercial shows a young couple celebrating their wedding anniversary. The wife gives her husband a handbook for first time fathers, letting him know she is pregnant. He gives her a set of keys to their new home — financed with a mortgage from Chase.

Digital Art Video did a phenomenal job with the filming and editing of the commercial. Just imagine what they can do for your wedding, birthday party and other celebrations.

I was told that the commercial debuted last year on the Chinese cable channels of New York and Los Angeles. Maybe it is time that I get a TV and subscribe to cable.

What would you do when you are asked at the last minute to babysit a 6 year old? Can’t possibly just stay home and be a couch potato; kids are too active for that. Can’t spent the day in the park, because the weather is still winter like.

GoCityKids to the rescue. A quick search on their website and within seconds tons of activities for the day came up.

We decided to go to McNally Robinson Booksellers for Saturday Storytime. This past Saturday happen to be a Curious George special. Three Curious George stories were read to enthusiastic little boys and girls by resident storyteller Yvonne Brooks, author of “Meet the Goat Kids”. After the last story, “Curious George Flies a Kite”, the children made their own kites.

We had tons of fun testing the wind and trying to get our kite high in the sky in the local park afterwards.
