I'm currently spending most of my time on Second Life, and not finding as much time for these sites as I have in the past. Those on Local Sexy Swingers, Alt.com and GayFriendFinder likely won't have noticed (the latter two in particular, as I joined them mainly just for points). I'm basically trying to add an expansion to my businesses there, so I'm working at it full time at the moment.
However, I'm managing to drop by still now and then, to see how all you lovely ladies are doing.

Yep, another movie. Shao Lin Mu Ren Xiang, from 1976, starring Jackie Chan. Dubbing was pretty bad, but other than that a decent movie. Nothing too profound here, just a little note about honesty and giving credit where credit is due. If Abbot Fa Chu had been forthcoming about Fat Yu's crimes and imprisonment, he would have saved a lot of trouble, and possibly many lives. Yet Chan's character (who was mute for most of the movie, and also nameless) was also dishonest about his teacher when Fa Chu asked him. Fa Chu guessed correctly that Fat Yu was his teacher, but in truth, Chan's character learned from every teacher; the basics, light technique from Fa Chu; balance, coordination, falling, drunken style from the drunken monk; slippery snake from the nun; and the killing techniques of Fat Yu. In the end he applied all of them in defeating Fat Yu, but he failed to acknowledge all of them as his teachers.
It is the duty of every student to seek to surpass his/her teacher, by learning from many sources and refining the knowledge of each.

I watched the movie Beautiful Boxer last night. It's a biography of Parinya Charoenphol, aka Nong Thoom/Toom/Tum (played by professional kickboxer Asanee Suwan), a young Thai katoey who was born a boy, but knew since childhood that in her heart she was a girl. After a period spent as a Buddhist monk, she entered training in muay thai (Thai kickboxing), and began competing professionally in February 1998, using her earnings to support her parents and raise money to pay for her sex reassignment surgery, eventually becoming the national champion. She retired from competition and underwent her sex reassignment surgery in 1999, later working as an actress and model. She returned to competition in February 2006, and is now an instructor at Nong Tum Fairtex Gym in Pattaya, with plans to open a training camp in Hua Hin later this year.
It's a strange juxtaposition that this is a beautiful, heartwarming film about a very brutal sport, just as it's a strange juxtaposition that the protagonist is a gentle, sensitive, and very feminine person, yet participating, and even dominating, in this sport. The film is shot in various parts of Thailand, showing beautiful landscapes and people, as well as one part taking place in Japan. Unfortunately, I watched it without subtitles, and as the dialogue is in a mix of English, Thai, and Japanese, I couldn't understand all of it. Still, it's a very good movie, and I highly recommend it. I hope that seeing it will give people a better understanding of transgenders, that she is not a man dressed in women's clothing, but a woman dressed in a man's body who only wishes to be her true self.
If you're not interested in the story or the lesson, though, the film also offers plenty of action, as several of Nong Thoom's fights are re-enacted, in all the gory detail. Plus there are several beautiful women in the film, including Miss Thailand 1992, Orn-Anong Panyawong, as Nong Thoom's mother. Nong Thoom herself, who IMO is very beautiful, makes a cameo appearance as a beautician who gives her young self some hormone supplements. Just remember that it's a biography, not an action film, and has plenty of introspective moments too, and a bit of a slow pace.
