EZE & UCHE THANKS FOR LETTING ME PAY FOR YOUR GAS TANK!
I was driving down to Irvine for the 1040 Screening (which was crazy!) and realized my gas tank was hitting empty. I pulled off the freeway at the nearest exit to look for a gas station. We couldn’t find one off the road so we headed back towards the nearest exit…. on the way to the freeway exit we found a Shell Gas station. Right before we got there, I told my friend Christina (project manager) riding with me, “That would be cool if we found someone at the gas station who needed their tank of gas to be filled who couldn’t afford it themselves!” It was just a thought. Well, that thought became a reality.
As we pulled in, on the other side of where I parked my car to fill up gas was a Toyota Corolla. I don’t know why but I felt like the people in the car needed help with gas. So I walked up to her (her name was Uche) and said, “Hi, my name is Jaeson, don’t be afraid (haha cause she looked at me like who the heck are you?) but I just want to do a random act of kindness and pay for your tank for your tank of gas. Is that okay?” She looks at me and is like are you serious?….. the rest you will have to watch on the next 365 Days of Love TV episode… it was a super awesome God adventure!
EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE APPRECIATED :D
Today was our music video shoot for my next music single “LIFE” directed by my man Todd Angkasuwan. When you see the story line and the message of this song and the video that is made to it you will understand just how important and life changing this song will be for our generation. I can’t wait to share it with all of you and the world….
My man Todd has shot music videos for all the big named hip-hop artists, but for him this music video was different. It wasn’t about the bling, the money, the fame, the acclaim, the sex, the drugs, the power… rather this song was about something important, something significant, something that carried a message and that message is to value the sanctity of every life that has been born…
For me, being my music video shoot, I didn’t want to come in to the shoot being the big shot. Rather, Jesus said “be a servant to all” and that was the attitude I took into my music shoot today. When I got there literally, God hand picked every person in this short film. From the production team, assistants, grips, gaffers, to the principal actors and actresses and I wanted to make sure that I could first do my best in serving them before they served me, ultimately this project was not for us, it was to serve our generation.
SMILE AT EVERYONE :)
Today, I just decided to smile at every single person I saw. Dude, it was AWESOME :D I think almost every person I smiled at, gave me a smile back. From little kids, to teenagers, to office workers, to grand parents… it’s so powerful to see what a little smile can do in making a big difference in brightening someone’s day…
I think I’m going to do this everyday to everyone I meet from now on as often as I can to whomever I can… to simply smile :)
365 Days of Love Challenge: Smile at everyone that crosses your path today… watch what happens :) Share your smile stories in the comments!
STRAWBERRY NIRVANA MY FAVORITE :D
So I was at Jamba Juice tonight, getting my usual “Strawberry Nirvana” after I ordered the worker asked me if I wanted to add on some additional items, sign up for a Jamba Juice benefit plan or something haha, and instead of giving her the cold shoulder and saying something like, “No, please don’t ask me that!” or giving a really negative attitude I told her, “Thank you for asking, but I’m actually going to be okay, but thanks for letting me know about all these other good things at Jamba Juice, I really appreciate that!”
She responded with, “Wow, no one or barely anyone ever responds back to me politely or with gratitude. Thanks for being such a nice person, that just made my day. I normally hate asking people to add more stuff to their order but I have to because its part of my job, normally people shrug me off, but thanks for being so nice!” :D
Trash around the ATM :(
No more trash around the ATM :)
So I have this weird pet peeve where I don’t like to see trash laying on the ground. If I see it, whether its my trash or not I’ve developed a habit of picking up the trash and putting it in the trash bin.
I did that today when I was in the lobby of my work office. There was a few pieces of trash laying around the floor in front of the Bank of America ATM. So, when no one was around I just decided to pick up the trash and throw it away :)
I always see picking up and cleaning up trash as way of not only loving the environment, but loving others by giving them a nicer place and space to experience ^^
