Recently took part in the music video production of Kit Dylan's Arrieta: Suffocated!
I played the Coffee shop barista! :>

Genres: Music >> Rock :: Gay & Lesbian :: Drama >> Love & Romance

Synopsis

"Suffocated" by Kit Dylan Arrieta is based on a true story of two lovers (women) breaking up over a third party's romantic involvement with one of the lover's cheating soul. The music video is lyrically-driven and represents various emotions one would feel over a lover who embodies such manipulative, deceitful, and cheating personalities in what was supposed to be a committed relationship. As suffocating, hurtful, and unhealthy the relationship was, the music video illustrates how the broken-hearted evolved from such sloppy standards.

Ways to find happiness

Finding happiness is not a mystery....life is open to you, if you are open to life!! <3
Live, love, laugh, and dream!

You Will Need

• More sleep
• The willingness to help others
• A grateful attitude
• Strong social ties
• An exercise program
• Fun plans
• And lowered expectations
• Spiritualism (optional)

Step 1: Get more sleep

Get more sleep. Studies show that people who get 7 to 9 hours of shuteye every night are happier and healthier.

Step 2: Be kind

Commit random acts of kindness. Those who do report feeling more content than those who don’t.

Helping the neighbors and being active in community activities also has been linked to a happier life.

Step 3: Count your blessings

Count your blessings. Writing down five things you’re grateful just once a week boosts your feeling of well-being.

Make peace and reconnect with estranged family members and forgotten friends. The happiest people are the ones with the strongest social ties.

Step 4: Exercise

Exercise on a regular basis. You’ll be jollier—without the stomach rolls.

Step 5: Plan fun events

Always have something fun planned. Research shows that anticipating something pleasurable, like a vacation, often brings more joy than the actual event.

Step 6: Relax about money

Stop being mad that you don’t have more money. A bazillionaire isn’t any happier than the average joe, provided that average joe makes enough to pay his bills.

Consider attending religious services, if you don’t already. People who do consistently report being happier than those who don’t.

Step 7: Lower expectations

Lower your expectations. Focus on appreciating what you have rather than yearning for what you don’t.

Studies show that happy people are less likely to catch colds and make more money than their sad counterparts.

Acting in Seattle

Many people in the film industry would argue that LA is the place to be if you are a serious actor. I am an actress and I would have to agree 100%. Currently though, in my journey from Canada to the states I am now living in Seattle, Washington, and I would have to confess that so far living in the Seattle has been a great stepping stone in my career. The emerald city has allowed me to spread my wings, develope my auditioning techniques, and acquire some great contacts. I have even been awarded some very interesting acting gigs along the way.
I'm pleasantly surprised to find many auditions just blocks away from my home in Queen Anne. A quick bus ride to West Seattle, or the University District usually puts me on the audition waiting list for a fun open call of a student film. And with some good detective work I can find auditions for bigger productions. Lately I have been offered a part as Jennifer's Aniston's body double in a major feature film called "Traveling" shot here in Seattle. I have also been shooting a pilot, and am I'm currently waiting to start shooting for a tv show.
So yes, it is true what they say for the starving actor/actress that when it rains it pours, and this is especially true for those of us who live in Seattle. But on the off chance that the sun may come out, living in seattle as an actress can be a whole lot of fun!!

Guitar Class

I took a guitar class this summer, and besides learning how to play a few cool songs, I met some really cool people. One group particular group of friends from class have their own band. They are an extremely talented group of guys...I have already been to two of their shows.

The band name is called "Two Foot Falls" previously know as "Silverline".

Putting on a play

This past summer has been so fantastic! I just finished a performance course at york U called "putting on a play", I learned the ins and outs of creating a production from scratch! From writing the script, creating and picking music, to the audition process, the duties of the director, as well as those of the stage managers, lighting, sound, costume designers and props people.
It was a lot of work, and as a performer I had the best time!!
The play itself was called "ECLIPSE", a tribute to the beginnings of Cirque de Soleil. It was one and half hours long. I learned how to juggle for my role. I was also able to sing, dance and play the part of the Aerialist.
Now that it is over...I can't wait to be involved in another performance!!
What a blast!! :>
