Quote of the Week – Gratitude
Monday, May 14, 2012 12:06PM / Members only
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. – Oprah Winfrey
I mentioned in a couple posts ago that I had started to compare myself against other people or other upcoming stars and I realised its not a fair assessment or measurement of success. That’s when I keep thinking about what I don’t have or opportunities that are limiting myself. Its called looking at the glass half empty.
Rather, I prefer to look at the glass half -full and continue to be grateful for whatever comes my way. Nothing can be forced and time is constant (whether we want to agree or not). I believe that gratitude can lead to feelings of love and appreciation, generosity and compassion, which helps to open our hearts and rewire our brains to fire in more positive ways.
Positive energy is so vital and after celebrating my birthday with my close friends, I’m thankful that I have a support system no matter where I go. My friendships reach beyond time zones and area codes. I am truly blessed. I am grateful to have good people in my life and grateful for the opportunities it brings into my world.
What are you grateful for?

Sunny Days
Friday, May 4, 2012 11:48PM / Members only
I was on the phone with B earlier this week about my see-saw feelings about my work. There’s always good news and bad news, good news and bad news. Its the nature of the business and the nature of being a passionate person. I try to keep things objective and look at numbers but sometimes those don’t even help. Then I try to compare myself with other people and that too becomes quite frustrating. Its never a win-win, especially not when one compares oneself to another.
However, I would say that this journey is a means to whatever I am looking for. It feels like I am meandering through life and my only solace is the sunny skies that wake me up each morning. Recently, I wished a friend on his b’day with one of those generic “Happy Birthday, hope u have a good one” and we exchanged messages about the pros and cons of living closer to family and friends and what work meant to us. I guess this is where people (mostly I) start to realize that work cannot be who defines a person. Your life, your spirit and your legacy is, finding greater purpose other than your own.
My birthday is just around the corner and another year older means another year of “what the hell am I going to do for the rest of my life” spiel.
But are there lots to be happy about?
Abso-fucking-lutely!
1. Mister French Taste is picked up by Koldcast.tv and we are getting great viewership, as updated by Jen Thym, director.
2. I booked a film which is set to introduce a new crime genre by the creator of CSI. Not only do I play a pivotal character (not the lead), the director said he was impressed with my audition that he knew he wanted me to be in the film. The character wasn’t written up to be Asian, he just thought I’d be perfect for it.
3. I’m heading out to Washington, DC and it’ll be a fun trip for me as I haven’t taken a vacay since Jan. Just a quick trip but I can’t wait to Segway around the monuments and the White House!
Thanks for letting me rant. I know life should not be predicated on work but I guess waking up and loving your work everyday makes it difficult to see the distinction. The sun is peaking out after fear of thunderstorms and I must enjoy this weekend. On to sunny days!! <3

Video LINK: MuchMusic x Workopolis
Friday, May 4, 2012 1:18PM / Members only
Yay! Managed to get a copy of the latest shoot I did for MuchMusic.
WATCH VIDEO HERE
I shot this last month after attending an audition call which had every “type” of person anyone would have in mind. Thinking I was far from what they were looking for, I got the call the next day that I booked this lil promo. Yippie! I remember being extra lazy about trying to look young and hip, so i just wore my ooloo BUBBLEBUM t-shirt and they loved it! I had a great time and everyone was nice and friendly (that’s Canada for ya!).I also got to work with Matt who was the main talent in this promo. We met last summer at Total Recall and I had no idea we were working again til he sent me a text. Oops, I obviously don’t read the call sheets in detail. I met comedian Ian Lynch, one of the gay men from “1 Girl, 5 Gays“. We had a good exchange of our experiences as hosts and all I can remember is commenting on his awesome hipster haircut.
This was an easy shoot and we were just chilling in a boardroom playing with toy dinosaurs while the director and his team was trying to get the perfect shot. Half day shoot and lots of fun, that’s how I like it!
On a side note: I don’t remember having such a “cool” experience when I was interning at 8TV. I just remember lots of mosquito bites, super cold AC blasting and deciding if we were going to eat at The Chicken Rice Shop or at Jusco’s Italian Cafe. Ahhh good memories. Hey, we all pay our dues somewhere.
