• Swine Flu. Travel. Singing. Acting.

  Journaling is my escape from studying teehee* shhh don't tell on me! So I've realized I dont blog much anymore because I'm intimidated by the amazing writers out there who would say I can't write and lets not forget the criticism that occurs with spilling your heart to the public world. I mean this is the internet and I do have some crazy ass stalkers and haters I have accumulated through my years of bending over cars in bootay shorts. I mean I have come a long way and learned to have forgive my past mistakes and offenders who have hurt me, but there is a stigma when it comes to blogging because people write nasty comments and judge or assume they "know" you because theyve read a few faqs on a website or random rantings from a blog...little do they know I am far more than what meets the eye/website lol*
  
  I have been working out 2 hours a day at krave or at the gym and I went swimming and showered and went out with wet hair in the old, so I asusmed that was how I got sick this week As thing progressed, I thought i had swine flu...its scared me so. The symptoms were similar but missing the vomiting, headache, fatigue stuff. My friend's gf has swine flu, and my other two friends also had it so it wouldn't have been too far fetched that I somehow contracted the virus, especially after treating my friend with the gf who has swine flue like a leper...or so he says, its Kharma biting my in the ass for being mean to him at Bleu (our favorite local hangout). He was right, I avoided him like the plague, because I was scared to get it! Who knows if his gf's germs got on him and was gonna spread it to the rest of the crew? Oh and to top it off, due to my paranoia, he thought it would be amusing to cough in my water to get me sick...well a day later I WAS!! ahhh Damn you weanus!
  
  Well 3 days later, I must say I am feeling 95% better. My favorite infectious disease specialist, Dr. Jeng suggested I just take zinc and viatmins and my body responded quickly, so whatever virus it was, swine flu it was not! Thank you Lord! So through the conversations, we somehow got to talking about going to Hawaii. I LOVE Hawaii, it is one of my happiest spots to date, maybe because life was so carefree back then, the island was beautiful, the water was perfect, the sky and mountains were just heavenly.... it is simply my solace. How I wish to go back there...if I close my eyes I can remember it so clearly. Hopefully it works out as I am trying to see if friend will let us use the timeshare and if the other friends can join! YAY!
  
  I have quite a crazy travel schedule ahead including Canada mission trip, Philippines press trip, and Monaco pilot for a travel show this year. I usually go to 2-3 countries a year but I guess it will be 4 including Japan this past march. So excited, although mostly work related but still good to get away nonetheless. 
  
  As for school, it sucks balls and I cannot wait to get it over with. Case study after case study, finance is killing me, and I just dont want to deal with strategic analysis reports anymore, it hurts my heart thinking about it...and yes that is what im supposed to be working on right now instead of "blogging"
  
  Oh and well God's been opening up the doors for my new album. The album I spent $10,000 sucks because its not my style and I am not proud of it. I am not releasing it and I feel like God put it on my heart to do a revamp album that is more my style about Love, Redemption, Forgiveness, and Living. He's opened quite a few doors in the music industry with new producers and studios to work with, so its pretty exciting. I've been writing a lot and trying to see what direction to go, but its definitely going to empower women, be full of love ballads, R&B hip hop feel, and collaboration with a lot of artists and friends who I have grown to respect and love. It's funny though when you try to do good things, there is always someone out there who wants to sabotage it, but ultimately it doesn't matter, because if God plans it it will come to fruition regardless the obstacles that stand in the way ie...satan's vessels aka haters.
  
  Acting work is dead, I have come to realization that I am the "callback" girl. I have literally gotten callback after callback and not booking jack. Its so demoralizing and disheartening when you spend so much time and effort on memorizing lines, rehearsing, driving all over the place, paying for parking, and hours of your time waiting around. Its so frustrating! I have literally auditioned for over 15 popular tvshows/pilots/features and gotten 6 callbacks, not including the 3rd callback and booked zero. Yes I know this industry it "tough" and I shouldn't be discouraged because at least im getting callbacks but honestly its a waste of my damn time! Also I happen to be getting beat out by a pretty popular asian actress named Nicole Bilderback,
  yeah some of you may know her from "Bring it On" and the hundred other projects she's worked on. The girl is 34 looks super young, but still in my category and of course she has a bigger fanbase but come on give the new girl a chance yeah? 
  
  Ok I need to stop venting, I'm revealing too much! This is supposed to me uber glamourous isn't it? Well its NOT ladies and gentlemen it sucks. But at least I have the opportunity to compete, I have supportive friends and family, and I have bigger goals that supercede what I'm chasing after in the short term. I will stay positive and trust that Lord has purpose for me according to his will. I trust. but sheesh it's so hard.

• Transparency

  Thursday, Jun 25, 2009 4:28AM / Members only

  
  

  
  

  I find it difficult to be transparent with fans, if I reveal too much the mystery is gone and fans may no longer be interested...if I don't reveal enough I dont leave them wanting more. But simply in my case, I just don't update ever and you have all forgotten me.

  
  

  I have never been good at interacting with my fans, I rarely respond to comments, emails, messages, or requests for autographs unless its for a good cause, kids, or military. I guess thats why my website http://linaso.com has died down so much from when I first started it in 1997. I had quite a following back in the day but I just stopped caring because there were soo many haters. Its exhausting trying to fight them off or defend myself. I just focused more on work and personal life. Now I guess I am pursuing more of the acting,  so it's important to upkeep and network with fans and friends interested in entertainment. 

  
  

  I just find it difficult because I am a private person, I like my privacy and I like doing things my own way. I can't ever imagine losing that privacy and people meddling into my life, but in reality I have nothing to hide and I happen to be a very open, social, and outgoing creature who tends to wear my feelings and emotions on my sleeve for the world to see and experience. So I'll embrace it.

  
  

  I guess there is also a large discrepancy between talking to me in person and reading my rambles via internet. I think everyone has the worst first impressions of me! I've heard it many times before. People have preconceived notions of who I am because I am an actress, that im some self absorbed high maintenance girl who cares nothing more than the spotlight, money, and fame. But in reality I am quite opposite of that, I prefer taco trucks over Mortons, and I rarely ever buy name brand clothing or shop for that matter, and I love giving and loving on people. Don't get me wrong I do like having some attention from people I value, but from strangers or from everyone its a little scary and awkward. From the people I love it means so much more, because they know who I am vs. strangers who only get a little taste from what the see or presume from things I write or work Ive done. 

  
  

  I think I invest more into people than in anything else, that is why I have incredible friendships in life and to me that is most important. I was once told relationships and health are the two things that will affect you the MOST whether negative or positive. Money, fame, fortune, ambitions, status all go out the door and have no meaning without someone to share it with or if you are sick in body. There is just no way to enjoy life without great friendships, relationship with God, family, and a healthy body.

  
  

  So overall life is great, God has blessed me beyond measure and has provided all my needs. I am still finishing up business school, its grueling! I've been training in Krav Maga (Israeli martial arts) I also just signed with a new commercial agent and interviewed with a new hosting agent, so hopefully things will pick up soon...although summer is usually dead I am hoping for a miracle! I hate being stagnant, its makes me stir crazy if I am not working! And work has been quite slow as of late, its sort of depressing and quite demoralizing. I had a callback and meeting with producers for Heroes didnt book it which I feel is sometimes worse than not getting called back at all! Its such a damn tease! 

  
  

  At least I am competing with the blondes and not just Asian girls. I have so many opportunities that many people will never have so I am grateful for even blessed to have incredible agents and managers who are working hard for me, but I just want to work people! Give me a job =)
  

  
  

  I have been auditioning like crazy the last few months, bones, leverage, abc pilots, nbc pilots, 90210, Ashton Kutcher movie, and a bunch others where I get to 2nd callbacks even 3rd and not book so its quite demoralizing to say the least. 

  
  

  I also auditioned and got called back twice for another Adam Sandler movie as a fob nanny, but who am I kidding? It got down to five of us and I know the girl that booked it is probably the the one I saw who is the epitome of fobby nanny straight from China w/her highwater pants, overalls, and toothpick comb lol* When I saw her, i said thats her! And from what I have learned from Roger Fan, studios and producers want to book people that dont have to act! When you walk in the door they know whether you are it or not. If you aren't it they will give you an opportunity if they like you or know you (thats why I always get the callbacks) but in reality I don't look or fit the part!

  
  

  Hmm I also have to know my "category" I was hoping I could be on a show like "The Office"  or nerdy characters, but apparently on first impression, I exude sex so I should stick to the mean sex pot or even assassin type roles ie...Lucy Liu. I hate being type casted into a category but Hollywood has their minds made up. Its nearly impossible to change their minds so I must accept it and embrace it for what it is. Look for me in the next sexy assassin movie lol*i'll keep you posted. 

  
  

  Also I am producing a movie starring Vivica Fox, Tiny Lister, and Christa Campbell. We are looking for one more investor, if you are interested drop me an email [email protected] or if you just want to offer me a lead in a movie, a nerdy television show, or just tell me you hate me.
