A Very Merry February

As February draws rapidly to a close, I am reminded of just how blessed I am to be in this city, living out my dreams:) Things don't happen overnight, but I have to believe that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.  There are so many things I am thankful for.  Firstly, for the wonderful friends that have been brought into my life here in NY. On that note, 2 of them are about to leave to go back home, and I know that there are great things in store for them back home, and I wish them all the best. Amanda and Vicki, we're going to miss you:) I'm also very thankful for family and friends back home:) Apes, I am so excited that in less than 3 months, you're going be my sister! The wedding is just around the corner, and I couldn't be more stoked!
Well its Saturday and I'm off now to go shopping (well...browsing) on Canal Street...with Amanda and Vicki...if we're lucky, maybe we'll end up in a secret room in the wall of a "Back and Foot Rub" Parlor full of hot Prada:) oh the possibilities.

Lack of Blogging

Wow Feb 2nd! Sorry for my lack of frequency in writing...things have just been too fast paced for words!
Gosh...well lets break it down into work and fun...although the work is fun...so ??? :)
Anywhoo...so several weekends ago, I was a featured extra in a film...The Best Day, where i got to play the main girl's best friend. Pretty much a popular snotty high schooler...too cool for school type...it was kinda fun to play my alter ego:) umm, the next week i had an audition for a TV pilot which is cool...Friends-esk...i thought the audition went well, but i think i was not exactly the "sexy single" they were looking for...i walked in and the guy was like..."you're cute as a button! i want to just pinch your cheecks!"....that was the point i knew i didn't get the job lol...lets see...went to a Actor/Director meet up. handed out a few resumes and business cards...not really anything to report there. BUT this wednesday, i have an audition with an agent from the Gersh Agency which is one of the top bi-coastal talent agencies! SO pumped...tonight i'm competing in a monologue competition, should be fun and good practice, and then tomorrow i have a film shoot...just an extra, but exciting nonetheless.
now onto fun:)
Celebrated several birthdays lately, bar hopping. Last weekend, Alessa had 2 friends in from Austria, so we went out to dinner at this cute little Italian place and stayed there for like 3 hours! and then we went to Slate, a club in Flatiron...really great time! The following night, we celebrated Claire's birthday at Flannery's and our 3$ marg place...3 margs in 15 minutes...yeah it was a fun night:)
Valentine's Day...great day...fell on a monday, so after class, Emma, Alessa and I went to dinner at a cute Italian place in midtown...we were the only non-couple there...haha...at least our male waiter was sympathetic:) but afterwards, we met up with Lisa and Ethan and all went to see "Just Go With It" with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. So it wasn't loney:)
Last night, Tamara had her house warming wine and cheese party at her new place in Queens and Emma and Gabriela and 10 of Tamara's friends from school were there. Introduced them to triple creme brie...wow...it was gone in literally 5 minutes...saying it was a hit would be an understatement!
Afterwards, we went to Public House which is a restaurant by day/club by night kinda deal. Lots of fun. although only got a few hours of sleep, and now i'm a zombie writing this lol. oh well such is life:)
Posting new youtube videos pretty much weekly now so keep checking back! enjoy this 60 degree weather!

Pinch Me, Bieber

Woke up today, just your typical wednesday...went running, submitted to backstage, went on twitter...and then...bam...justin bieber tweeted about a special screening of his Never Say Never movie in NYC that he "hoped spike lee would come to." Well...after some extensive stalker research, I found out the time and place of this screening. For the record...the movie doesn't come out until Feb. 11. The Premiere of the movie is Feb. 9th. THIS, tonight, was a special screening, in nyc, for celebs and people who won a contest.  Well, at 2pm this afternoon i decide, what the h...i'm just going to go, see if i can score a seat in a starbucks window to catch a glimpse of him going in...well...i get there at 4:30...biebs is supposed to arrive at 5:30...there's a barricade up for the VIP line which some girls have started to line up in..." sureeeee, i'm VIP" and i get in line...well, i'm standing in line, waiting to get escorted out by the police who are patrolling the line, when i get to talking to a woman and her daughter and boyfriend. "so you guys have tickets?" i ask..."oh yes" they answer...do you?..."ummm noo" i sheepishly say. they look at eachother and say, well we have an extra ticket. front row seats. OMB! the woman's daughter gave the radio station the idea to hold this contest to get tickets to this, and as a result, she got front row seats!
as we were standing there waiting to go inside, the producer of the movie walked by...as the stalker i am, i recognized him immediately. "Jon M Chu!" i said..."yes" he said smiling. "I just wanted to say good luck with the premiere on the 11th. Its going to be great:)" we had a moment:)
So anyways...it was INCREDIBLE...the movie was awesome...and i got within 2 feet of JB...he was even more beautiful in person:) but everything about the night was sweet....his mom, grandparents, whole crew, body guard, LA Reid, and 2 rappers were there. he had a question and answer session afterwards.  I am so thankful to have gotten this opportunity tonight...the Lord was smiling on me tonight big time.
