..that mushy feeling...

if anyone knows me, you'd know that im a psycho die hard for animals.. especially doggies.. (i literally start speaking a different "animal" language when i see a 4 legged furry friend, like i was in church or something..)

i am practically banned by my family and bf (and his family) to go to pet stores because I tend to get filled with such overpowering excitement that turns me into moldable putty.. resulting in me looking like a sucker to the sales people. Sadly, whoever was lucky enough to join me in this adventure (usually the bf) suddenly ends up carrying a breathing "thing" in their hands while i skip down the aisle picking out all the things this furry lil friend HAS to have.. i tend to bring home doggies thinking they'll be the perfect gift for someone... it doesn't always lead to the imagined "perfect" ending i had hoped for.. (hence the banning from pet stores)

what can i say.. i love these creatures and i want everyone to love them as much as i do.. (would you call this an obsessive addiction?) how can anyone not love a poochie that gives unconditional love, an encouraging lick to get you out of bed, and above all that unexpected uncontrollable smile you get by just looking at them....

so i thought id share some cuuuutteee pixs from the island tails blog that i check from time to time.. (since im bored at work and can't seem to find the will to do anything productive)

(pictures from the island tails blog)

(aka: mama, mama mia, mimi, swe swe, bubba, pretty girl, woof woof, my little dobash, etc..)

sad i know

.. One Kine Day..

i officially booked my first acting gig!!

so the story is, i auditioned a few weeks back for a tiny role in a cool indie film. (yes, i secretly signed with an agent and have been taking acting classes for the past 6 months...) the funny/awkward thing is that i am also interning with them in their costuming dept. my manager/agent called me to tell me about this audition I got for a small indie film... randomly it was the same project. (can you imagine the weirdness when i came in for my audition.. yep...)

im super stoked and even though i have only a few lines, i hope i fulfill their expectations of a young teenage floozy.. hehe (i think have enough past memories that i can bring out my inner flirt).

the best thing of all, the staff is so cool and amazing.. i love my costume designer who has worked on countless films as Morgan Freeman's personal costume designer and who I am secretly begging for her to adopt me as her new love child and take me along everywhere she goes... (desperate? you bet!)

things are looking up and hopefully will open the doors to bigger and better things!!!

below are some "story ads" about the film:

some of the cast consists of:

-Christa B. Allen (Alea) who has been Jennifer Garner's younger self in "13 going on 30" & "Ghost of Girlfriends past".

-Janel Parrish (Leilani) who played Jade in the "Bratz Movie" and also did some episodes on the T.V. Series "Heros"

-Julia Nickson-Soul (Ralsto's Mom) who acted in "Rambo II", episodes of "Power Rangers", "JAG", and a long list more..

not only does the cast have loads of experience but the crew as well... (blue crush, batman, bucket list, etc... ) im beyond stoked right now!

..me likey..

gonna have to start saving my mula...

.stolen.

stole this from thy bf... haven't blogged in a while.. can't find the time or inspiration to plop my ass down and vomit out an entertaining story. so this tells it all.... until next time...

..defying gravity..

"it's time to try defying gravity, 

i think i'll try defying graving, 

and you can't pull me down"- Elphaba, Wicked

have you ever woke up one day and just wanted bail out like a nutt head in a psycho ward?....no.. its just me?  

well that has been my life for the past few months.. there is just a part of me that yearns for more fabulousness in my life..  (i.e. a better job in fashion, a paycheck that i can agree with, and the ability to shop at all times of the day) and thankfully my recent trip to NYC has accelerated these urges..... like all those viagra commercials thats flooded our televisons... yeah..... imagine what's going on in my head...

while watching the tony awards, i finally had the urge to put these thoughts into words:

1. i will move out of hawaii... 

east coast or west coast???.. 

well that's been put into a whirl wind of confusion..

(don't ask.. my bf, mother, neighbor, roommate, the bum on the side walk all asks me everyday,  which one... ) IDK yet peeps!!

2. to work on TV/Film/Broadway as a Costume Designer

(now if they happen to ask me to act a little, hey why would i complain with that? I'll be JLo's butt double..)

3. Travel the world.... 

I just love traveling... what can i say... there is so much to see, to learn, to take in, to shop, and definitely to EAT! 

(in my opinion the last 2 are the best part of being alive)

4.  if #2 doesn't work out... any job that involves the below:

-a LA or NYC zip code (europe is good too)

-constant traveling to the places stated above.

-and obviously the creative end of FASHION!

5. after i achieve the above i will be ridiculously 

rich where i can live the abnormal life of carrie bradshaw.. 

minus the constant nudity of her friends....

as you can see they are very broad and how i will divide these goals up into tasks.. well lets just say im working on it... i'll leave that for another self loathing blog....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so to sooth my agitation...

here are some MORE pictures that all of you had asked me to post...

back home...

nyc was amazing.. it was a trip well needed 

(and in my opinion well deserved)

this trip really opened my eyes to the possibility of changing my mailing address to a manhattan zip code... guess i have to really weigh my options and find a 

winning lottery ticket... i'll be working on it..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

on another note:

while i was enjoying two weeks of stuffing my face, speed walking, spending my last bits of money, and oohhing & ahhing over every possible thing in NYC... my desk turned into this:

(this is only 1/3 of my desk... )

 you'd think they'd be happy i was on a vaycay..
