My soulmate and I....I miss him so much. 

LA here I come.....

For the past 2 weeks I think I've slept a total of 8 hours. Its been a constant go getting everything ready for this move. A lot of people wondered why I didn't move long before...I like to plan and be prepared...mentality, spiritually, physically....in every way basically. Everything in life has its timing and I'm not one to jump the gun or rush it. So that's why I didn't move before, now is my the time.....Sunday May 15 8:00pm, my best friend Freddie of 19 years sits on the couch alongside my 3 God kids Nick, Justin and Izzy. As they play with my dog Kobe I continue to finalize my packing with a million and one thoughts going through my mind. I know it won't be easy saying goodbye to her or the kids....after a few hours its time to say goodbye, I walk Freddie and the kids downstairs....my heart begins pounding and I feel this knot in my throat and heaviness in my chest. I say goodbye to the kids as fast as I can to avoid crying in front of them....as the kids go in the car there stands Freddie....my heart hurts....we say our goodbyes as we hug and the tears continue to trickle down. I walk back into my apt and breakdown. I may travel a lot but there's nothing like knowing ok my family is back home when I get there. To know NY will no longer be my base home is a lot to take in. So its not easy saying goodbye to your close friends and family, but you know its all for the best.....Monday May 16, 2011...3am....we begin bringing all the luggages downstairs. By 345am we are on the road to Newark airport to drop off Kobe....when we arrive the pet drop off is closed. Pressed for time as we have to be at JFK for our flight at 5am, we try and locate someone. "I think they open at 4:30am" one man tells us....4:30! Its only 4:10am right now and we need to be at JFK by 5am. At 430am my husband Greg locates someone at the pet cargo and she informs us she opens at 5am not 430am. Greg begs her to check in Kobe now as we need to be at JFK by 5am....With the ONLY attitude she decides to do it, and ofcourse makes it a point to inform us she came in early to eat her breakfast and now has to check in Kobe. Like I give a fuck about her breakfast, bitch I got a plane to catch. I didn't say that I just thought it in my head. LOL. 4:50am...we are heading to JFK now to catch our 7am flight to LA....5:25am we hit traffic because of a 2 car accident....5:35am we arrive at JFK....I call my dad and brother as they have all our luggage and where to meet us at JFK....calling both their numbers...no answer....5:50am...finally my brother answers "we parked at lot we walking there now". 5:55am...my dad and brother arrive with our luggage....we check in our bags.....6:30am... as I walk to check point its time to say Goodbye to my dad, brother and mother in law....my heart hurts again. I try my best not to look directly at them as I know I will cry more. I say my goodbye and the tears just trickle down....6:40am I pass checkpoint and I wait for Greg.....I suddenly see they pull his aside and wipe his hand with a piece of white cloth....the man scans the white cloth in a machine and the screen makes and alarm type sound and read "EXPLOSIVE DEVICE DETECTED". We inform them our flight leaves at 7am...they inform us he will be taking to a private room to be searched...6:50am I run to the gate and beg the attendant to please not close the door and advise her what s going on...."Nothing I can do, sorry, you'd have to catch the next flight if you miss this one"....I run to see if Greg is finished being harassed and searched, no sign of him...6:55am I run back to the gate once again beg the attendant and she responds..."Sorry we're closing the door now". I run back to Greg to see him getting his things together and trying to gather all his belongings as they ripped all his bags. "We missed our flight!"..."WHAT!" He responds. Then ofcourse I go OFF on the workers who did this. I can't even say what I said to them because it was UGLY. I begin to argue with one guy when Greg decides let's just go. We run to see if there is any chance we can catch the flight still. I run to the gate and beg the attendant...she says OK....I go to get Greg and all his belongings have fallen to the floor. I run and help him and we make our way to the gate....7:05am in the plane and I'm sweating as if I ran a marathon....and now off to LA...bye NY see you soon....

LA is close......

Whats up! so its Sunday December 26, 2010. As this year comes to a close in about a week I begin my journey in getting things together to make my move to LA in May 2011. I must say although I've been to LA countless of times it's going to be a BIG change from having NY as my main home. But this move feels right and I must go with my heart. I had a great year in 2010, I learned so much about people I had in my circle, about myself and most importantly about this business. I was so giving and always wanting to look out for people who were on the come up like myself because I like to build relationships with people. Unfortunately, majority of the people in this business are not loyal. So in the end when it was my turn to say hey I need help in this, I was looked at like I had 3 heads. So since then I've cut my circle much shorter and I've decided to no longer do "look out" for people, no matter who you are. This is a business so that's how I'm rolling now. I have big plans for my future and I refuse to allow any form of distraction. I'm focused and ready to make my mark in this industry. I've been in this business for a long time and I've chosen to take my time and do things right so my career has longevity, and most of all because I wanted to make sure I am mentally prepared for the success to come. I have many friends who have made it and its a mental rollercoaster you go through. You must be strong enough to make it through and not allow it to break you, trust me. anyways I want to document this move and the career moves I'm planning from now till may and from then on while in LA. Join me in my journey! love you all!

Whats up...

I have alot on my mind, most I can't share, not now at least, lol. I should write a book one day and reveal all the secrets lol, anyways life has been good, working on a few projects and hoping all goes well with them. I find myself at a different point in my life. As you grow you realize success doesn't lie in the fame and fortune success lies in your happiness. I continue to pursue my career and work hard but in the end know that I have a solid base foundation to my happiness and regardless of how successful I become with my career that will not be the reason for my happiness. All that superficial shit is not that glamorous, trust me. The deeper you get into this business the more you see how ugly it is. You have to find a balance within the two otherwise you will go crazy if you don't and let this industry take over your life. So for those of you out there wanting a career in this entertainment industry just know its not all its cracked up to be, it looks pretty on the outside but alot goes on that people don't know. So make sure to always keep God first and have a solid family that will allow you to stay grounded and not lose yourself in this business. Ok that's my little advice for the day lol

Ignorance.....

Ok I need to address something, while writing my blog, I caught a little bit of the new VH1 series of Charm School. If you haven't seen it, it's basically the Rock of Love and Real Chance of Love girls competing for $100,000.00. One of the girls from Real Chance of Love was eliminated. I don't know the reason for the elimination because I only caught a part of the show. But the part that caught my attention was when a few white girls from R.O.L were talking about some of the black girls from R.C.O.L and how they are "ghetto". The world ghetto is used very loosely by alot of people. I feel that it's used alot mainly towards minorities. The minute they see a minority speaking up for themselves or upset at something, they are automatically called ghetto. I'm always called ghetto the minute I say I'm from East New York Brooklyn, I don't have to do anything, people just associate people from E.N.Y Brooklyn as ghetto. I think it's stupid and ignorant to judge people in such a way. Just because people live in the ghetto doesnt mean they are ghetto. When someone minority speaks their mind, or has an argument with someone doesnt mean they are ghetto. It's disgusting to know that people can be so ignorant in this day and age. Just had to vent and share that.

Fame..

It's been a hectic couple of months with so many things going on in my career and in my personal life. Yesterday my bestie Jeremy Chu and I grabbed a quick bite to eat before going to dance class. We both always talk about how cool it will be when our careers take off. But we also talked about the disadvantages. When you're in the entertainment industry you basically give up your privacy. It's crazy because when you are famous people tend to think you are no longer human so all the normal things you do become weird, crazy and the topic of the every entertainment tv show. It sucks because I wish I could just do what I love doing and not have to take upon all the bagage that comes with this business. I'm not a fan of the whole celebrity world scene. It's all so phony and that's not what I'm about. I'm about real people and alot of people let this business get to their heads and become someone they are not. The media is always finding something bad to say. I sometimes wonder why do I want to be a part of this crazy business, but I guess I am confidant in myself and know I won't lose myself within the fame. It won't be easy to do all the normal things I do now when I blow up but I will find a balance within in all. If you don't you will go crazy. I remember when Viva Hollywood aired there was a constant critique on my weight (mind you I weighed only 123lbs at the time) The camera definitely adds pounds, I was even like wow I don't look like that in person when the show aired (lol) But the blogs went off on how "obese" I was (yup obese were the words people used lol) I didn't know I was suppose to weigh 90 lbs to be an Actress, lol. So I guess when I become famous and I'm caught eating a cheeseburger I will be crucified, or when I'm out with my best friend Jeremy there will be rumors that I'm sleeping with him, haha. I honestly will find all the stuff they will exagerrate on hilarious. So I guess I'll enjoy the privacy I have now because pretty soon it won't be the same. I don't see myself doing anything else in life, this is what I want and this is what fufills me. I can handle all the craziness that will come with it as long as I stay true to who I am. So bring it on! :)
