Update!!
Let me first apologize that I have not blogged for so long. I have a been a busy busy bee lately!
As most of you know from reading Gabriel's blogs we have taken a short hiatus from acting in order to get our personal lives situated. In December Gabe moved back up to San Jose to work, and I stayed in the valley and started my new 9am-5pm job. It was a really rough patch that was necessary for our future.
Happily two weeks ago Gabe moved back down, and we moved into our beautiful new apartment. (A blog about our apartment to come soon)
I also recently got a job hostessing at Vivian's Millenium Cafe in Studio City on the weekends. Yes, this means I am currently working 6 to 7 days a week...and yes, it is exhausting. But the plan is to make as much money as humanly possible until I get an agent. Once I have an agent I am hoping to only work my data entry job for 30 hours a week and hostess on Sat morning! This would allow me freedom in the afternoons to still act and audition.
The hunt for an agent will continue once pilot season is over. I am more determined than ever to make progress in my career. I have devised a slightly new tactic to approach getting an agent and I will fill you in on it once I see how it goes.
As most of you know I am also a singer. I have had the dream since the age of 12 to have my own original music. Between the ages of 13-16 I actually stopped acting as much and pursued singing as a career. I realized that acting is my first and foremost passion, which is why I returned to it. I have met an extremely talented musician who I am working with now to create some original songs. I write the lyrics and tell him the style and then he writes the music to match!
I am actually recording my first song this weekend!! I can't wait to hear it all put together professionally. I also can't wait for you all to hear it!
That is all for now! I will be blogging again soon...trust me, once my song is done you won't be able to get away from my blogs and posts ;)
