I still have one more scene to shoot but the location is tbd so I need to wait for that one.
This is my first lead role in film. I was super nervous the week leading up that for whatever reason I wouldn't know the lines. I planned out a schedule dedicating one day per memorizing a scene. That left the days before the shoot to really get into the character. It worked. a lot. My character has a lot of religious/lifestyle conflict. She has a few breakdown scenes. The first take of each scene I got an applause. It was great to hear. :)

Evaristo's 'Impura' Music Video Shoot
So the Music Video shoot went very well.
Evaristo and Roberto were lots of fun and very professional.
New Haircut
I've been feeling extremely boring with my overall look lately and decided its time to make a change. For years, I've sported long brown hair with layers. A few years back I did the black hair thing and loved it but it just got too long. I felt like Cher so I chopped it off Uma Thurman-esque to grow out my own color. I love my brown color but again, I'm getting bored.
Bangs were always an option but its always been scary to me and I'm a slight commitment-phobe. I'm glad I took the plunge. Voila! I feel sassy and fun again. I wanted to go shopping for my coveted leopard cardigan asap. Its funny the psychology of a haircut. At least for women. It's probably along the lines of how women feel better if they have makeup on. No se.
So here's a before picture
(simulating the cut before I take the plunge). I must say, I'm pleased with the results.
Nicole did a great job!

Plane Reflections
Dear Lord here I am on a plane and I haven't written in so long and so much has happened. I've been to two moving on three weddings and spent mounds of time with family. It's been months and I must say these months have been joyous. My creative career is on track, I finished a theme song for the film 'supernaturals' and shot the intro. I shot a bunch of scenes for Alexandra Galvis's television class, I'm performing a love song at a Courtney's wedding this weekend, I'm doing research for Dan's short based on Franny and Zooey, and next week I shoot a music video. Wow that's a lot. I wish it was all paid but that will come later. What's important is I'm fulfilled. I couldn't be happier.
I just spent time with my cousins from Texas for Beatriz's wedding and for the first time I felt someone from that side had respect for my career decision. Tio Frankie in particular made me feel like the coolest girl in school LOL and really I just realize this life I chose is exciting. It changes all the time but as long as there is some sort of stability in there somewhere, I'm ok.
And on a personal level, I'm in love. For some reason, I do best when I'm in love, and when it's sunny out. :) I've lost some weight, the creative juices flow and I feel good. I'm at Dizzys part-time which makes me feel less tied to anything and more free to go about my projects. I don't know why I can't commit to a solid job. I think I simply have no interest in doing so. Relationships I can, to full time jobs I'm phobic.
My mother and I got along really well in Puerto Rico. I never have her attention since the grandiose have been born and it been years since she and I had a trip ourselves. It was good to just hang out and drink and share stories with the family. She's lost a ton of weight exercising and dieting and thankfully she's still motivated to lose the other half. I'm very proud of her and hope she continues. She looks fantastic and her health has improved ten-fold.
Goodness what else? I'll miss my grandmother. She's getting old and I when I was at the wedding I felt the urge to get married soon so she could be at the wedding. I really can't imagine her not there and it makes me sad to even think about it. Then again, my thoughts on weddings right now are absolutely just not there. I'm just now starting to build a career for myself. Well, a small wedding I could do but kids and such? No way. Anyhow, my career and getting to know Dan more are priority. Not getting married.
Well here's to all the newlyweds, to more Acting gigs and to sheer and utter Joy.

UPDATE ON 'HOW TO HELP' POST
My co-worker Brandi got into NYU Masters program!!!!
The minute she told me I ran up to her screaming. I think the band sound-checking got scared for a second. LOL For those of you who don't know, this was the girl whose personal essay I edited a while back. I was going to feel really bad if she didn't get it. BUT SHE DID and I'm so proud of her!

success!
I'm happy to announce that I just recorded the theme song for an independent feature film called 'Supernaturals'.
The best part is I learned a ton about recording and editing, I have new work up AND I got paid :)
