My Hope. My Faith.

As "bloggeranonymous" pointed out here, it has been a few months since my last post. I am still alive. In fact, I just returned from, as my friend put it, an OHMYGOODNESSHOWLONGWASTHISVACATION six-week trip to Nigeria. This was my first time visiting and the first time meeting the majority of my family. There will be posts documenting my trip, most likely cross referenced with my other blog. In fact, you can read my short entry about it here.

So you will forgive me from the lack of entries over these last months. Finding a place to connect to the internet was hard enough, much less being able to blog.

Anyway, right now, I'm trying to beat jetlag. But I just wanted to assure you all, faithful readers, that I am still alive. Yet again.

I hope your Christmas and New Year was blessed!!

I am still alive. Bored, but still alive. Just looking for employment, both acting-wise and psychology related (to supplement my income while I audition). I actually submitted my headshot and resume to another agency and they replied asking for a demo reel. So now I must find two scenes from TV or Film, a camera and a person to read off camera with me.

That's what I'm doing this week... along with looking for employment.

See, that's why I haven't posted that recently.

My life is boring.

So, the agent that I went to see last week... Yeh, well she said no. Well, she said:

To celebrate my birth. :)

As an actor, am I supposed to admit my real age?

D'ah well! I'm 27 today!

Happy birthday to me.

God has really blessed me in these 27 years. Beyond my wildest dreams. Can't wait to see what He has in store for this year.

GOD IS GOOD!!!

***Yes, I know. Not a baby picture. But the closest I could find at this time. :)***

I do not want to be an actress for fame.


But I wouldn't say no.

First things first. I had two different casting things in the last two days. Well, the first one was a meeting with an agent, as I wrote in my last post. That was yesterday. I believe it went well, although I am not sure if she will represent me yet or not. The one thing that will probably prove to hinder me in this search for an agent is my lack of experience. She assured me that I would have to go slow, probably start in commercials first. And I would be sent to smaller roles initially and all that stuff. That's fine with me. Oh, and she also said that I have the look of early 30s. I could probably pass for late 20s, but definitely early 30s. Hmmmm... I did not know that I looked that old. Not to say 30 is old, but.... well, I was unaware. :) She said she'll get back to me by early next week.

Ok, the second is what I blew. It was a diversity open casting call for NBC. (you can find the write up here). Basically, talent reps from NBC came here to look for news faces, primarily to add to their roster for the shows filmed here (ex. Battlestar Galactica, Psych, Eureka). It is not a for sure thing, but they just wanted to see different people. Well, I am usually good at interviews. I study and make sure I cover every question that could possibly be asked. I research on the internet about what to expect and all that. Well, what happened is that she asked me to tell her about my last role. I completely blanked. BLANKED! I knew it was Arthur Miller, but forgot which one of the four it was. She was holding my resume. I had to reach over to look at it. I think that, coupled with my lack of experience, made me look like this immature amateur who just wants to be a famous actress. Or something.

And that is definitely not me.

Annnnnyway, she gave me a smile and said, thanks for coming. We'll keep you headshot on file. Yeah, right. That means, thanks for coming. You suck. We're throwing your headshot away.

Others got a call back to do a cold read. I didn't.

But I'm ok with that. It's a learning experience. I will have other chances. I will just chalk this up to ignorance and add it to my list of things to expect:

Know and remember your past experiences to T!

Got it.

**NOTE: I know the picture really has nothing to do with anything. But sadness. But that's what I was going for. And isn't Matty just so cute??

Ok, so you know the "safety" period rule thingy that people say expecting woman should follow? I think it's something like they should not announce their pregnancy until after 3 months. Or something?

Anyway, this relates to my post in that I was not sure I wanted to announce my latest news. AKA to make it public. I was debating whether or not to share this news, just in case it, you know, it did not pan out.

However, then I thought, "What the heck. If it doesn't work out this time, I will try again." But then it is good to have faith that it will work out. Right?

So here it is. My news:

I submitted my headshot and resume to two agencies in Vancouver. One contacted me back. I meet with them on Monday. This will determine whether or not they want to represent me. I hope they will.

Please pray for me and I will let you know.

And that is all.
