As Soul Visionary Productions comes to an end...

The time has come, and Soul Visionary Productions is almost over. Yes, almost over and I'm pretty sad about it. This semester for me has been crazy to say the least. I made new friends, became closer with people as well, and learned so much from being in this production class. It was really an honor to be able to sit with this class everyday and share things with each other that I never knew about.  There was alot of laughter, alot of cries and must I say alot of stressful days. But at the end of the day, I had a blast doing all of it. Our exam is coming up and we have to do a stellar monologue. I know Im going to try and make this the best monologue I have ever done in my life, and hopefully I am going to blow the audiences minds. Thats what I really want. I want the audience to rememeber me, and what I've done. Soul Visionary Productions has taught me alot of things that I will not remember. From acting and being in the buissness, all the information was interesting to learn. I really don't want the semester to end, but all good things DO come to an end. And unfortunetly, the chapter has ended. But that only starts a new beginning for all of us.

A Christmas Redemption Reveiw.

Sophia and I in hair & makeup !

From all that has been going on, I forgot to mention how the show went ! My apoligies but I mentioned in my earlier blogs that I was going to be in a play called A Christmas Redemption that my acting coach has put together. But I have to say, it was amazing. It was great to see how it was like to be on stage, because I haven't been on stage before. From the make-up and self preparation, it was hectic I must say, with us running around changing our outfits as quick as possible because our scene was about to start. I thought we had alot of time, but when the show started, we had less time than I thought. But overall it was worth it. In the beginning, we had a prayer done by my acting coach's mother and her spirit, just by looking at her is so pure. Now that  I know the whole cast, they all have pure spirits and I made alot of new friends. The reviews were great, and it was filled with humor and seriousness, which the audience liked as well. As for our scene it went well, people found it funny which was the point we were trying to get across so thats fine with me. It could of been better, but we got it done and I'm proud of all the girls that were in involved. Sophia Nguyen, Ramona Persaud, Jasleen Batth, Risa Rudder, Nancy Asante, Sienna & Layla, Jenisha Palmer, Jordon Rudder, Leighton Williams, Latitia  & Tanisha Teape. I couldn't of done it without you guys, and I would do it all again if I had the chance. Another special thanks for Mrs. Kim Thomas for giving me this opportunity and this blessing for me to be on stage for the first time ever. I loved the experience and I'm glad she chose me to do it.

 











Little Fockers.

On Thursday December 30th just before the new year, it was one of my bestfriend's birthday so I decided to spend his lovely day with him all day because we are such close friends. We basically just hung out and played games with all of our other friends but we were just waiting till the evening to go to the movies. When we got there, he decided to watch Little Fockers because he has been dying to watch it. And since it was his birthday, I didn't want to refuse even though I didn't see the first movie so I went to go watch it with him. But might I say, that movie was hilarious! It kept me laughing from beginning to end. Ben Stiller is such a amazing comedian and Robert DeNiro was funny as well. Not only them, but the whole cast got me laughing. But for me, the humor did overtake the storyline. But that was okay, since it kept me interested the whole time which I loved. I give Little Fockers 3 out of 5 stars and I recommend it for those who love a good laugh ! (:  

Tragic Monologue.

After alot of thought I have FINALLY come to a decision. If I haven't mentioned this already, for my class we have to choose a famous icon that has had a tragic life and do a monologue based on the struggles that they have went through. I have researched for so long on who to choose and who I could personally potray the best. Now that I have finally decided, I have chosen Attallah Shabazz. If you don't know who Attallah Shabazz is, she is the second daughter of the memorable Malcom X. She has had a very difficult life where she has been a witness to her father's death as a young child. Her experience was obviously heart breaking and she says "A day came when I realized he's dead, " she revealed in Rolling Stone. "I never knew till then how much the void ... nauseated me." Attallah has gone through the worst thing that could happen to her family which was the killing of her father, and I feel that I could potray her with hardwork and dedication and by researching her more and studying her more mentally, I could pull this monologue more. Now, the writing process is undergo. This shall be interesting folks. ( :

Post-Secondary.

Now that high school is almost coming to an end, (sadly) it is now time to face reality. Which means applying to the college or university that I want to go to. There are so many schools and options to choose from but the deadline is this week! I have Universities that I would like to go to but the one that I would LOOOOVE to go to is Western University. That certain school from researching seems like the place I belong in. I want to get into buissnesss somehow which is what I am really passionate about. It is all the way in Windsor which is far from home, but I am really strong-minded about going. I told my parents about my goals and whatnot, and my dad said "shoot for the stars". That I found very inspiring coming from my dad, because I could tell that he really want me to become successful in what I love and do what I feel is right. And that is what I am going to do. Western is my number one choice, then Ryerson, then York. Hopefully things go the way as planned !

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Goodbye, 2010 hello 2011! New year, new goals and accomplishments. Usually people talk about New Year resolutions and what to fix about themselves for the new year but surprisingly, I’m not. I feel that you don’t have to wait till New Year’s to fix a certain flaw about yourself. As for me, I've have resolutions for myself everyday and I don't wait till New Year's Eve to figure that out. So as for me, I have no New Year's resolutions but I'm sure alot of other people do, and I hope they follow through with the great decisions they choose to make. But 2011 is here and I know it is going to be a even better year. There has been many people that we lost from Michael Jackson, or the hundreds that we lost from the devestation of the earthquake at Haiti. But now that it is 2011, this is the year to make a change or to remember and use the struggles that we have gone through to overcome, because it does make you stronger. Now that it is a new year, I find it my duty to create a change for myself personally and try my hardest to make a change within my community. But I feel that 2011 is my year and I will suceed.

Merry Christmas!

It is Christmas! The time to spend with your family, time to laugh, share and gather around the ones you love most. This Christmas was very memorable for me because our house we are having our very first family Christmas dinner. That means that my, aunts uncles, grandmother, cousins are coming to my family household for the first time ever. The house was filled with family from both my mother and my father’s side so there were a lot of people there. The atmosphere was filled with organic conversation and family members exchanging gifts all around. Overall the night was great and I couldn’t ask for a better Christmas day. Along with that my family and I are celebrating what was most important about Christmas which is the birth of Jesus Christ. For me, without him nothing would be possible and I thank him for all that he has done for me for the following year, and it is not only Christmas we should be acknowledging him but it should be every day. But I do wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday. ( :
