Classmates Reunion

In case you did not know I have been in Florida for the past two weeks, triying to get someone to rent my house out. It has been a pain because this is my first time dealing with the Section Eight Housing Program. Hopefully I will get an inspection soon! While I am at home, I have had time to hand out with a lot of my classmates from high school. Here are some photos of those people. This group of friends have really made being home fun! I also had a BB!, where a lot of them showed up.

Weight Loss Update!

Wow! It has been a minute! I don’t know why it is so hard for me to blog! At the present time, I am losing the weight finally! I just had a major fill, and now I understand the power of the Lapband. With this fill I have not been able to eat: ribs, hamburgers, or any breads. I also have to really chew slowly and not talk and eat at the same time. Isn’t it amazing that for the most part, I usually eat and talk at the same time, and I was not even aware that I did that. I am posting a new photo of me with the weight loss, now if I can get to the gym, I really can see the difference.

UPDATES!!!!

So it has been a wild three months! I finally have time to catch up on my blog! Here are some updates:

Work: Work is out for the summer! Yeah, if you have not guessed by now I am a teacher!!!! I have to admit one of the best perks about being a teacher is getting the summers off. I am so happy about that.

Production Plans: Yesterday, I was watching a short film that I did in 2006, and I realized at that point, that I have not been shooting in the last two years. So I decided to change that, I got on the phone with my manager, and had her book me to produce three short films next year. Two in the fall, and one in the spring. I hope that I am able to get them done. I already have the script and will begin pre-planning in August.

Photography stuff: Wow! I started shooting part-time this year, and it has really grown to full time. I am in the process of opening up my studio in Los Angeles. To see my work you can go to: www.myspace.com/photodiva29, to see my work. My website is coming soon. I am going to try and have it up before July is over.

Lap band stuff: Ok, so I was recently bummed because I had gain a lot of weight back after my surgery. But on Monday I had a fill, and I can see that we are going to see the pounds really fall off this time. I had a hard time eating all this week, so I am back on liquids, then soft foods for the rest of this month. So far I have been able to keep soups down, and that seems to be helping.

Summer Break: Well, I was all excited because I was on my way to Vegas, for a week to stay at Mandaly Bay, when I got a call from my tenant (I rent a house), letting me know that she was moving out, which means a CHANGE OF PLANS FOR ME!!! Now, I am on my way to Florida to get the house ready for the new person. I am hoping that it won’t take me long, and I can resume my plans to go to Vegas. I so need a vacation!

Ok, I think that is a good enough update! I promise to post more, this summer

Wow!

I am not even going to say it! I hate it when I am not on my blog, but I have been so busy and sad at the same time. My weight loss is moving very slow, so that has me a little down. I am going to try my hardest not to stress out because that is making me eat a lot more. Also there is so much to say, but I will post later. We had my school's film festival in April and I had the opportunity to meet two very talent actors: Eddie Gonzalez and Regina King. Here are a few photos of me with them. I promise more to blog is coming soon!

Where Have I Been Again????

I can't believe I have been gone from this blog for a while. Things have been really crazy I just got back from a trip to New York and then I went to Las Vegas for a wedding. Had a great time, but as soon as I get back my job has been CRAZY!!!!!! Well, I don’t like to talk about the people I work with so I will move on, but I just hope that they gets a live, and keep it MOVING!!!!! Here is a photo of me in New York…..

FYI: I am going to upload photos soon of my weight loss, they are coming!

DVD RENTAL WEEKEND!

So this was one of those weekends where you don’t have a lot of money, and so I decided to stay home and a catch up on a few movie rentals:

Step Brothers:
This movie was very funny! The thought of two men in their 40s still living with their folks and addicted to teen stuff (toys, pornography, etc….) seems like the formula foa a funny movie! Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are comedy are so funny in this film, that you cannot help but laugh at them. This movie had me in laughing from beginning to end. If you are looking for a good flick to make you laugh until you cry, this is the rental for you!

Changeling!
I have to admit that I did not want to rent this move, but once I saw it I was glad that I did. This was an emotional and powerful piece that was directed by Clint Eastwood. Angelina Jolie’s performance was outstanding! the Universal release looks poised to do some serious business upon tentatively scheduled opening late in the year.

This story is based on the disappearance of a child and his mom’s search looking for him. What follows is a serious look at police corruption during this time.

Eastwood does an excellent job unfolding a shocking story, while creating suspense that keeps the viewer sitting on the edge of their seat from start to finish.
