*Brace yourselves. This is a cheesy one...

Today I just felt alone. You know...that sickening, gross kind of feeling... When your insides churn, and you can feel the distinct beats of your heart pumping inside your hollow chest...

Didn't want much interaction, finding it easier to not be 'real' with people. And couldn't help but sarcastically wonder: does any of this really matter? (--of course the answer is 'yes', but I just wasn't feeling it today). Tired, running on low, and all "meeting-ed" out.

-------

Although I may "feel" alone, I also know that God has richly blessed me with people with whom I can share life with. What a privilege and responsibility.

Thank you. God blesses me much through you all. (Even if I am too blinded to see it at the moment). THANK YOU.

I begin work tomorrow, which I am excited about. -Yay!

I think I just had too much coffee today. Ha.

Okay, okay...Time for an update!

YAY!!!!! Praise GOD!!! I got a JOB!!!

I start on Monday...and I don't really know what exactly I will be doing other than LEARNING like crazy... Please pray that I'll be a blessing to the people in the workplace. And that I'll learn things that I need to know quickly.

Thanks for the prayers and encouragement during my "unemployment".

Time for an update!

The last few weeks have been interesting and filled with many blessings.

As I look forward to 2006, I am filled with awe, fear, and trembling about the many crazy adventures God has in store for us. So friends, let's keep each other accountable, and fight for one another. It's too easy to fall, but that's why we have one another to kick in the butt and push forward.

THIS IS THE YEAR!!! RAH!!

Back from Vegas...safe and sound (-phew...considering I drove all the way back...)

Shooting the trailer was a LOT of work, very little sleep, and early, EARLY mornings... We arrived there on Thurs. night, began shooting Friday to Sunday, with a crew & cast of 25+ people. Work, work, work...non-stop.

Met some really interesting people (among which one didn't cut his hair since 1992, and a few up and coming teenage-child-actors). But I'm thankful that we got to stay a day AFTER the production, so I could check out the famous Vegas strip. I wish you guys were there with me...

Here are some pics to share with you, of what I got to see after everything was done:

Nevada -desert view

Jo, the director, and assistant director

Paris, I have arrived!!

Fountains at the Bellagio

Look at the fake sky...and the dorky guy...

In front of the MGM

New York, New York

Luxor

Casino floor

Ding, ding, ding~!! I bet 4 and won 6. Up by two! Woohoo!!! (I'm probably the cheapest gambler in the world!)

at the Aladdin. (You're right Syl, it WAS delicious...)

Glutt-fest!!! (Oh noOo...all the working out gone to waste?)

Vegas truly is a land where everything is BIGGER-THAN-LIFE! Gambling and money have built this place. It was exciting and all, but somewhere in my heart, I felt an emptyness. Imagine what better ways it could have been used... Gee, what money can do.

AAhhhhh...!

My friend got me the position of Production Assistant for shooting a trailer for a low-budget movie. Things are really crazy-busy working with the producer to get things ready for the shoot.

We're leaving for Las Vegas tonight, and I'm driving part of the way... Eeeeek.. Pray that I won't fall asleep or crash.

Here's to the next 3 days of no sleep and running around like a headless chicken (yay, let the games begin!).

Thinking aloud: How could people do this for a living...? Ditty.
