What Else is New?

I auditioned for a student film titled "Wonder Girl" on October 4th. The role I read for was a babysitter. Below are some other things I have been up too as well...

SHAKE IT UP 2
Ashley and I went to our 2nd taping for the new Disney Channel TV show "Shake It Up" on Sept. 21st. We had so much fun as usual and the episode was hilarious. The show just started airing on Disney Channel a couple weeks ago and actually the 1st episode we watched taped live will be premiering on Disney this Sunday so that is exciting! Since its premiere the show has been racking up big numbers in the ratings seems to be a hit already. Congrats to the cast and crew they deserve it :)

NEW JOB
I met with my acting teacher's husband, Brice about an office job for him on October 4th. He's a lawyer and was looking for someone to work a couple days a week. I started working for him the following week. I've been doing a lot of cleaning and trying to help them organize documents, etc. It's a familiar field since I used to have an office job back in VA but it different because its all law stuff which I am not familiar with. But they have been teaching me about some of it and I am beginning to kind of figure things out and understand the lawyer lingo a bit. It's a great job and the people are great too. So far, I'm really liking it.

LIKE DANDELION DUST SIGNING
On October 11th - after acting class - I went with my classmate, Kambria and her mom to a book signing. My teacher Shelene was helping run it and it was for a movie she produced called "Like Dandelion Dust" based on the best-selling book by Karen Kingsbury. To help promote the film, Karen Kingsbury and Mira Sorvino (award winning actress who stars in the film) had a Q&A and signing at a local Barnes & Noble. It was so much fun. I got to get autographs and talk to them for a little bit which was awesome.

VISITOR :)
On October 27th I received my first visitor from back home in VA. My friend from church, Debbie. She was a couple hours north of LA visiting her husband since he was there for work. On Oct 27th she drove down to LA and we got together. We got something to eat and walked around a mall talking and catching up. Then we met up with another one of her friends and drove through Malibu canyon. Once in Malibu we stopped at a restaurant on the beach and hung out while her friend got something to eat. After that they were going continue sight seeing but I had to get back for work. It was so good getting to see her and so much fun hanging out!

PARTIES
On November 5th we had an engagement party at the house for one of the family that I live with's niece and my friend Reba. It was crazy. I got there late since I had to work at the lawyer's office that day and then had to drive all the way home from Calabasas (it took about 2 hours that day). There were a lot or people I didn't know but it was good seeing all the cousins since I hadn't seen them in so long and celebrating with Reba & Mark.

The very next week we had yet another party at the house. This time it was only for family so it wasn't quite so crazy lol. The family is all really big into boxing and this was a boxing fight night. They rout on Manny Pacquiao who is a Filipino boxer. They buy the fights on paperview and then the whole family gets together and watches it. I think I am starting to get into it now too thanks to all of them :)

THANKSGIVING
I am so excited to be flying home for Thanksgiving to visit my family. It has been almost a year since I have last been back (since New Years) and I miss them all so much! Some of my extended family is going to be coming in as they typically do for Thanksgiving. Its going to be great! I leave on Saturday (Nov 20) - will be staying a week - and coming back on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. My lawyer job was cool with me leaving which was great and I even got off from the theater - all though I am sure they aren't as thrilled seeing as how I didn't know until after my flight was booked that Harry Potter opens today and I won't be there at all until I get back. But its all good..and I can't wait to see everyone!
