name-dropper week

i should write more than i do, but i dont. it not that there’s nothing going on with me, but for some reason in my mind, i was certain that writing is a dead art and no one really reads anymore. so if i were to write a blog, i would accompany it with pictures because surely people would avoid a large block of text… and since i have no real pictures to show at this moment, i will write.

it was a name dropper week… really weird.

on thursday i went to the pre-grammy party at the palladium in hollywood. my boss from visionshock (eric young) invited a girl-only guestlist so my sister and another co-worker went to check it out. when we arrived, i saw tony liegh, now real estate agent but former import model. kaila yu was also a famous import model i use to really like when i was in high school - now she is promoting nylon pink. eric had us upstairs in the vip at open bar, and we watched the performances of kelis, black eyed peas, will.i.am spinning, david guetta and kelly rowland - later we all went to the floor 4 heads away from the stage and went dancing, it was an amazing show!

palladium also had artwork there, and it was intense! there was audrey kawasaki, lola, travis, etc. and one of the pieces that was really captivating was kris lewis, whom i was able to meet and talk to. pretty amazing! he was really cordial, and seeing the work was unreal.

while working hollywood this past weekend, busta rhymes made an appearance at kress and manny paquiao brought his entourage to empire (which use to be club sugar). it was a busy weekend on both accounts. i also met a film director, steve marlton, on saturday  (http://www.gibraltarfilms.com/)

i also saw a facebook invitation for tessar’s show in canada, and im so stoked! i saw some of the pictures, and it looks amazing!! anyone who is in town should really check it out, im a big fan!

im so proud of you!

and speaking of proud, i have been watching my students grow at vision21 and i feel pretty overwhelmed with how proud i feel. i think the strength as me being a teacher lies with my personal history of having an auditory disability, as well as being a slow learner and an otis grad. i can see myself in most students, and i dont regret that i care too much. the people that i have worked with taught me patience, and they made me into a better person. so i thank them for making me better ~

speaking of which, a couple of then got me xmas presents, when i have the pictures ill post them online! hehe
