Born in Shanghai, Nebula was raised in the sunny streets of Los Angeles, and grew up with a vivid
imagination and a musical streak. Along with singing wildly with
the radio in the
car (to the chagrin of her parents), she watched films and TV with quite the intensity, often
completely captivated by the wonderfully fascinating worlds and stories before her. Now, she lives to share in the telling of these stories.
5Fun Facts from Yours Truly:
1. Since it often comes up in conversation, I got my name from a dare in eighth grade. My friend and I decided
to change our names on a whim. Before Nebula, my name was XinXing,
a Chinese name given by my parents which means “Happy Star.” Interestingly enough, my parents' Chinese names respectively mean Moon (my mom) and Sun (my dad).
2. In high school, I was voted "Most Likely to Win A Grammy."
3. I have participated in and WON a hot dog eating contest. Yes, be afraid, be very afraid as I have a fantastic appetite and am a seasoned "foodie." Eating with me.. is an experience!
4. I was crowned a Princess of the 2010 Miss Los Angeles Chinatown court.
5. The
four best years of my life thus far were spent at UC Berkeley, where I
studied abroad, was a peer counselor, and performed with a joyful a
cappella group called "For Christ's Sake."
