My mini Vacation




So, I decided to take a mini vacation to my 2nd home... with everything in life going down hill, I felt that this would be a perfect time to go to the one place that makes happy... being around people that make me smile, laugh and reminisce... totally worth every cent.

The best part of being here is that I never realized how people really do miss me... I mean it is always nice to know that you're not forgotten but to have people actually tell you that you have influenced them artistically... I feel very honored and humbled by that... so many good things are happening artistically well for me... being hired by the off broadway theatre company in OC is something I never thought would happen to me... I would have never expected such an opportunity come my way... and also to have my own work that I created with some talented people have a LA performance... I don't know where this may take me but I have a good feeling about this and especially for my actors... who knows what might happen?

Thanks to all the peeps that have been amazing to me during my vacation... Where else would I find amazing people like you in my life....

Thngs Could Be Looking Up


Gosh, I haven't written on my blog in a long while... I figure that this might be a good time to get started again... here I go:

In Directing News: I finally get to direct... I am so overly excited to be doing this... I will be directing a stage reading of a play I wrote in Ithaca, NY and continued developing with 8 SB BFA's.... that was a great treat for me. So Ni Una Mas will get its first LA Premiere on March 26th at Casa 0101 for Women Month... http://www.aprayerforjuarez.org/
visit the website... best thing for me at this moment... and on top of that more than half of the original cast will be doing the play... i just have a great feeling about this performance... anything could happen!!!!

I am still trying to find a better job and on top of that... I have to find a new place to live... in less than 2 weeks. I haven't been able to find anything I can afford with the money I make. It is so frustrating and I just feel sad all the time. Talking with Michael... he spoke the truth about some things... he was telling about how George Clooney lived in a closet size apt for the first part of his career. He thinks I should move to LA and see what happens there... I'm not sure how to feel about this... something keeps telling me that I need to leave the OC... nothing has been biting here other than the theatre company I intern for and the directing gig i have that won't start until September of this year for Theatre Out... but in reality, there really isn't any theatres here that want a Latina Directora... it is so high school in the OC theatre scene... everyone is cliche and talks behind your back... and if your someone who is raising, they try to exploit you... of course, this sounds like any other profession, but the OC is the OC... but maybe I should think about it... Michael is such a good friend... his words, I truly appreciate!

Well, that is the big question I have for myself... stay in the OC or move to LA?... with all the internships I am applying for... I guess we shall see what happens... cross your fingers and say a pray for me!!

Besos All <3
