"Farewell Blogger, But First An Announcement." Youtube, Here I Come! Week 2


Dear Diary,


Here's my offering to you this week......

*   Just a heads up ladies and gentlemen!!  This blog will have a new home and this is the LAST POST on Blogger.  Waaahhhhhh....it's bittersweet.  It's great that I'll have my very own cyber home, however, I raised my baby here for 5 years so I'm a little sad.  All posts thus far will remain here as 'Archives' so feel free to visit whenever you want.  :D   Here we goooooooo!!!



Now on to the main attraction.....


A new announcement, ladies and gents!!


Diary Of The THRIVING Actress and HOT n FUNNY Asian Chick will be going LIVE!!!!!


Aaahhhhh.  As you know from a previous post, my goal for 2015 is Youtube.  It's all about creating my own content and getting more exposure.  You can read that post HERE.

And to do that, I know what I have to do.  It's gonna be a little messy at first, but fuck it.  So, please bear with me as I try some things out.

Here's my game plan.

I'm just going to live stream everything and anything.  Why?  Because it's the best way for me to pump out as much content.  I've been a little stuck with making videos for couple of years because I have so many ideas but, actually shooting it, and editing it, it's a lot of work.  Plus I have my blog to write too, and I'm doing some fashion things as well on my site.  I've got a lot of work cut out for me.  So, this way, I'm alleviating some labor on my end, and I can just be the talent.  And when I do broadcast live, and you're not able to make it, fear not because the video/show will be saved to my Youtube channel or my website so you can view it at your convenience.  Yessssssss.

I'll definitely give you all a heads up on when and what I'll be broadcasting about, but sometimes, I  may not.  This is because I feel like I may want to blog live about how my day went before going to bed, or let's say something really pissed me off and I learned something from it and it could be funny to just talk it out.......I don't know.  I'm not formatting things too rigidly right now, the only format and structure is that I'm just going to do it.  

I'm sabotaging my self-sabotaging habits, pretty much.  The perfectionist in me is going dowwwwwwnnnn.  I know what my patterns are, and I'm trying to catch myself before I get to that self-doubt place where it kills my creativity, and stunts my growth as an artist.  If I have too much time and space between when the ideas are born, to actually getting it done, then it starts to pile up and I don't do any of it.

I do know what works and what doesn't for me.  So, as scary as it is, because it's all very new, I somehow feel like this can be a niche for me.  I feel like this is what I'm suppose to be doing.

So, get ready to see some real and raw stuff......and all in REAL TIME.  Isn't that excitng?!  It's like improv, guys!  I don't know what the hell's going to happen.  I don't know what I'm going to say....well, I know what I'll talk about but, it won't be scripted is what I'm sayin.  Also, I'm planning on maybe streaming live as I wake up in the mornings and I do my meditation, or I do my kundalini yoga.....maybe another day while I'm putting on my make-up and I can talk about the religion and philosophy. Who knows?  This is giving me so much freedom, and I'm loving it.

So, here's the first live stream!  Actually, my web designer and I were testing it out.  This was just before I was about to go to bed too.  I had no idea that anyone was watching, or could watch.  Turns out, someone was....you'll see if you make it to the end.  I'm sharing this because as embarrassing as it is, I said I was going to give you real and raw stuff.....so, here you go.









I'll see you guys over at my new home soon.   Yaaay!!!!


Have a THRIVING week, peeps!


with MAAAAD LOVE,

"To Sell Your Soul Or Not Sell Your Soul..." Youtube, Here I Come! Week 1.


Dear Diary,


Here's my offering to you this week......

*  Hope you had a fun and safe New Year.  I hope all your goals for this year comes true.  It's game time, guys........let's do this shit.




Now on to the main attraction......


This isn't about selling your soul.  This is about finding your Soul.

You've all heard the expression 'selling your soul to the devil in exchange for fame and fortune', yes?

Well, guess what?  You know I've come face to face with this a few times already.  Let me tell you the devil isn't red with a pitchfork.  The devil is what you give your power over to, what drains you, what makes you underestimate yourself, what makes you unhappy, what keeps you in a vicious cycle, what feels heavy, what feels like no hope except the hope it wants to give to you, what makes you feel like a slave to something, etc.....  And the devil can come in many many forms.

As you know, I have quit smoking cigarettes and pot.  Whaaaaaaat.  Here are the two posts on why and how......click here for the post about cigarettes, and click here for the post about pot.

They were my devil.  I don't believe in Heaven and Hell as a place you go to after you die.  I believe they are here; they are where my mind goes to, where my heart goes to.  It's not a physical destination.

I sold pieces of my Soul to these things with the hope that they were going to return value to me somehow.  Instead, they were sucking the life out of me....literally and figuratively.

Somehow, artists have fallen into the trap of believing that if you're tortured or mad, you're more talented and creative.  Maybe.  I definitely fell into that trap.  Thinking that cigarettes came with the package with being a writer, and pot came with being more creative.

LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES

I was able to do some things while smoking cigs and pot, but now that I'm sober, I can do double, triple that.  Don't play.  Sobriety is bringing good feelings, and the good feelings are giving me the energy to forge ahead with my plans and goals, the way I wanted to.

I've been the tortured artist, and I'm done with it.  What I'm here to do isn't as a tortured Soul, but as a radiant, vibrant, energetic, strong, healthy, balanced, and happy Soul.  I feel as though I needed to go through some shit to find out who I really am and now I'm ready to let that part of me go.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't have a dark side....I absolutely have a dark side and that will never go away, nor do I want it to....BUT, I just don't have to live there anymore.

I love my dark side.  She gives me some of my material.  I don't ever want her to leave me..she's one of my best friends.........but, we do have to have a different dynamic now.  I'm re-establishing some boundaries.  I'm the boss and I only go to her for material now.


My Soul's meant to fly, you know.  So is yours.  I hope we all one by one get to release things that no longer serve us, and we can have the courage to begin with one step towards the life we're meant to live.  This is my wish for myself and everyone on this planet.  I wish for everyone to have inner peace...because guys, inner peace is the jumping point for it all.

I didn't move out here to be tortured and miserable...I moved out here to fulfill my life's purpose and I can only do that putting my 100% of myself and my Soul into it.  


Have a THRIVING week, SuperStars.
