Happy New Year! May 2008 be your best year so far!
Meet Mike and his fiance. They have had lots to drink and are having party favor wars!
This is our friend Tara- she is pretty wild, and we LOVE that about her!
Bobby is doing his lip exercises to get ready for that kiss at midnight when we bring in the new year!
Cheezy smiles here to wish you a Happy New Years Eve!
I think this guy is stalking me!
Yep, that's me. During karaoke I was voted to be the ship's Madonna. I had rehearsal, had to learn the song, and they provided my wig and wardrobe. Those are my hot action dancers in the back there. Attendance that night was around 800 people and it was an absolute blast. I have a video of the entire production, which is locked away in a highly secret place...
We rode down from the countryside, through the forest, and down to the beach. This excursion was just right for us!
Geared up, gassed up, and ready to ride!
I wanted us to get out to that little island you see behind me but Bob decided that we were already out to far on a boat, with no motor, looking like shark food. I said Don't worry Bob...if there's a shark, I'll be fine. I'll cut you first :)
Our next stop was Mazatlan, where we rented a Hobie Cat and tacked out to sea. We were so far out that we couldn't see the ship anymore!
We ended the day having margaritas and salsa at a little place called Senor Frog's over looking the bay. What a great day!
I know it's hard to see it in this photo, but there are actually tiny little men jumping off these cliffs in to the water.
Here we are at our first stop, Acapulco!
Here's Bobby headed for the hot tub. The only weird thing about this ship? That strange flamingo looking statue. It was just UGLY.
Here we are with our table mates...the ship matches you with your group, and you sit with them any night that you come to dinner. We liked our crew, we were fun, and really loud.
The next day was Christmas at sea! Bobby got me another gift...and I bet it's jewelry!
When you board the ship they make you do a mandatory safety drill. Here we are, modeling our life jackets, along with the hundreds of other passengers.
We flew in to San Diego where we boarded the Carnival Spirit. The cruise was my first, and it was his gift to me :)
And here are the ladies! Grams was outdrinking ALL of us.
And here are the victims of Mike's bartendering ways.
Tiffani threw a huge Christmas party. Mike decided to play bartender.
November 2007
Ta-da! This is one of a few that we spotted.
The event is over and now we are out playing. We decided to go out alligator hunting on an air boat. Way fun!
A big group of us went to The Boathouse to eat and watch the "parade of boats." Mike, my best friend is on the left and that's Tyler in the middle. We kept him out late enough to freak his dad out :)
We had one of the beautiful suites on top of the tower, and here we are enjoying a beautiful Florida sunset.
Here we are in Marco Island at a resort for the m2 Wealth Conference. They had a huge tree set up in the foyer, so we took it upon ourselves to be festive.
My sister Wilai and my Mommy! I love them long time!
Bobby flew in to DFW and we had Thanksgiving with my family. Here we are with my sister's kids and my first dog Maximus.
Tiffani and her family invited us out to movie night at this place that serves food while you watch a movie. We saw Elf!
Here is my sign for Bob, who is still out in Sac.
Here we are with the hostess, Tiffani.
Back in Houston and Mike has moved out here too. (I have a following!?)Here we are at a friends wedding. We didn't plan to match, it just worked out that way!
We love our Mango!
Bobby is so handy! Here he is working on the ceiling of the outside grill.
I flew out to Sac to see my honey and we had a nice dinner with friends at Bar 21. Marco & Nadine are on the left; Ralph & his fiance are on the right.
October 2007
That says it all...
Here I am with my full pod and my bags packed... see ya later L.A!
It was back to L.A. where Scott and Sharon met us at The Stinking Rose on La Cienega. Ymmmm, garlic!
I flew in to Austin on the 5th and met the Wealth Masters crew at the Iron Cactus for dinner and drinks. Here I am with the President, Karl and the CEO, Kip...both long time friends and mentors of mine! The Synergy Saturday event was the following day and we had a blast! Check it out at www.WMItoday.com
September 2007
I met Charlene and Liam at Runyon Canyon for a hike. He's my little buddy!
Crosswind's had a ladies night where we all brought food (pot luck style!) and had a fun social night at the church. From left to right: Danielle, Marsha, Samantha, Sharon, Me, Gini and Meagan. We had a blast!
Gini took me to a wedding as her date since Jesse had to work late. It was a nice wedding at the Cascades Golf Course in Palmdale. She's a little red from the girls' soccer games earlier :)
Back to L.A. for Char's next gig at the Pig N' Whistle. Here we are afterwards with our trusty diva boy Derrick. It was an interesting night to say the least!
August 2007
Ahhhhh... Waikiki sunset!
Finally, we reach the top of the pill boxes and have a seat on top of the roof to get a look at the ocean line and houses below. I could so live here!
The day after Diamond Head we hiked Kailua at the Lighthouse and then on the other side at the Pill Boxes. (Wheew!) The sites were gorgeous!
Here's Bobby checking out the whales on our way up to the Lighthouse.
We took a few days and ran off to beautiful Hawaii! Here I am, after a little hike to the top of Diamond Head on the island of Oahu.
My boyfriend has ground squirrels, which are considered pests and we've tried gassing them and even poison bait. Someone recommended a pellet gun...next day me and my trusty lab Mango got 2 of them!!
Back in L.A. for 10 days and just in time for Char's gig at The Rainbow Room in Hollywood. She rocked the house! Char is the gal in the middle! (And that's our girl Talicia on the right.)
The view of downtown and the Capitol from the Train Station.
Weekend in Boise, Id. for a friend's birthday party. We also rafted down the river! Here I am in front of the Capitol Building (which is closed for construction).
Dinner at Kasbah Lounge with my old homie Stuart. They have live belly dancers!
The kids decided to take the golf cart for a round around the Ranch too.
Dean decided to take me for a few rounds around the Ranch in the Dune Buggy. We had a nice little BBQ with the GMS crew.
July 2007
I flew in to Northern Cal to hang out with my friends. Here are me and Mango, out on the Sacramento River!
I spent my last night in DFW with my family. Here is me and my favorite 10 year old niece, Alyssa.
I met up with my old friend Rebecca at TGIFriday's for dinner. We had lots of catching up to do! My shirt says "He looked good online." lol.
We went to see "Ratatouille." Here we are, right after running through rain that had us drenched up to our calves!
Meet my Aunt Kitsana. I haven't seen her in a very long time. She's one of my favorite Auntie's cause I remember her from a very young age.
Maximus was my first dog. He's a long hair chihuahua and we all love him. He's my little man ;)
After the BBQ I went out to see my nephew play in the band for a little concert. He rocks!!
Afterwards, we headed to Hong's for a BBQ, and Ly played bartender. Here she is mixing us one of her favorites....the exotic Mojito!
The weekend came and we all headed to the Arlington Skatium to celebrate Chandler's 5th birthday. Here I am with my longest known friend Ly and her Aunt Hong (left to right). It was a blast.
Back at my mom's after 3 days away at the resort and we went over to my cousin's restaurant to help roll egg rolls. Want some? Just ask me...I have a freezer full!
Miniature golf with the family...me and Bill tied for a 49. I know, we suck.
We still had a great time playing the game of life, ( I must say...being a professional athlete pays off!) We also swam, and just had an all around good time.
I flew in to DFW and joined my family for a little excursion to Hill Country! The plan was to inner tube down the Guadalupe, but thunderstorms kept the river closed :(
When at the nudist beach, do as the nudists do! Hey, it's not so weird whem everyone else is naked too. The water was clear, and very warm and clean. Oh- and I don't have those tan lines anymore :)
Haulover Beach, where clothing, is optional :) The other sign said "No loitering in the vegetation." lol
The next day we stopped at the Everglades. It was pretty empty because it has not really recovered from the devastation of the storms in 2005. The scenery was beautiful though.
The evening brought us back to camp at Sunset Beach in Big Pine Key. The Deer Key are protected here. At first I was feeding one deer, a few minutes later she shows up with a friend, a few minutes after that a 3rd...gawd, word spreads fast in the camp! Count it up...4 deer feeding out of my hands and they did not mind if you touched them. The males had antlers, but they were very soft.
We stopped at the Clarence S. Higgs Memorial Beach and played in the water, chatted with a Polish family and felt a little sprinkle of rain. It was a beautiful day.
The waters here in Florida are so clear, and so warm. Ahhh.
Here we are at the Southernmost point in the U.S., just 90 miles off the coast of Cuba.
Here I am on the corner of the famous Duval street in front of Sloppy Joe's. There were lots of tourists in the area because a cruise liner was passing through.
This ship was docked in the middle of town and it is called the "Mary" (what a nice name!)
Last stop was in Key West. I met a pirate, and gave him a kiss, but he was unresponsive. Oh well. Next!
Look what I caught!!
The next stop was in Islamorada at Holiday Isle where the world famous Tiki bar is located. The resort was breathtaking.
Our first stop in Key Largo was at a little dive bar called The Carribean Club. The locals were already there for happy hour.
I arrived in Fort Lauderdale on Monday, July 9th. This is the view from the back yard of my friend Alex. These iguana's run wild...and there were about 11 of them at my last count. A few of them are bigger than a small dog!!
R.I.P. Pele Bell 07-09-07 The sweetest Chocolate Lab pup ever and at least I got to spend the last week with her. She died just hours after I left Sacramento to catch my flight to the East Coast. We aren't sure what caused it. She was only about 10 weeks old.
The whole crew was out! These are my old friends that I used to karaoke wth around town. Bottom left to right: Alejandro, Michael, Me, Kue and John Richard. Top: Wendy, Patrick, Stuart, Tony and Roberto. Good times! Good times!
Capital Garage has karaoke on Sunday nights. I sang "The First Cut is the Deepest" (Sheryl Crow) and "Time After Time" (Cyndi Lauper)
Meet Marco & Nadine from Hawaii, you can check out Marco's amazing art work at his site www.mgimageart.com
Here I am with my good friend, and one of the bridesmaids (Victor's sister) Lyneette.
Here comes the Groom!
Victor & Pamela had a beautiful wedding at the Sebastiani Winery in Sonoma on 7/7/07.
After dinner we headed to Todd's for Poker night. Todd is the guy with the shaved head :)
The next day I drove out to Stockton where I met some friends for Sushi. From left to right: Jen, Mike, Me, Kat, Tiffani and Rob. The 4 kids...all belong to Tiff and Rob, visiting from Texas!
4th of July in Sacramento! Here I am with Stephanie, Frank, Debbie and Lester at Crawdad's on the water. It's happy hour and the band is getting ready to rock!
June 2007
At the end of the benefit walk, we had a wonderfully catered brunch at the new building. Project Angel Food prepares and delivers food to families in the Greater Los Angeles area that are affected by HIV/AIDS. If you would like more information, please go directly to their site at www.angelfood.org
We are here at the event with our FAVORITE board member and volunteer Mayo. He can analyze handwriting...and I must say, he is DARN good at it! Mayo kept us laughing, and every time a drag queen would walk by, he would say, "So, which bathroom do you use?"
I quickly recovered from Breda's birthday bash and got up bright and early on Sunday morning to volunteer at the "Hollywood Walk to Deliver" which is sponsored by Project Angel Food. Here are Michelle and I, manning the snacks table. I kept telling people they had to dance for their snacks, and amazingly...they all cooperated!
My friend Breda (since 7th grade!!) had her 30th birthday party at a gorgeous house that sat right by the water in Garden Grove. Full bar, good food, lots of friends- it was a great party!
My good friend Michael had never been to Runyon Canyon before, so we made our way up the hill ;) Gorgeous views, and a must-see if you have never been! I run there, oh, 3-4 times a week!
It was a quick day trip to Sacramento to watch Jesse graduate from Peace Officer School. Yep, that's right...he arrests people who are not being peaceful!! :)
Party Central had a Toga party on Saturday night. From left to right, Dave, me, Charlene, Frank and Steve. The guys are our party hosts, and they did a fab job!!
On Saturday it was lunch at Black Angus Steak House with the Bennett's. I didn't keep the boyfriend, but I did keep the family!!
My mommy stayed with me in California for a few more days before heading back to Texas. We gawked at all the sites at Venice Beach...it was a beautiful day!
3 weeks later and we are at the end of the vacation. Here we are working our way through immigration eraly in the morning at the Bangkok airport. After that, we had lunch in Japan, and 17 hours later, we were in Sunny Cal!!
Meet Erik and his wife Pin- they live in Bangkok! Erik is a friend of a friend and we had a nice dinner at "The Great American Rib Place." Good times! Good times!
Only 2 days of the trip left and we are in Bangkok being visited by relatives. These are 2 of my mom's nieces, and my Mommy in the middle.
May 2007
After the monkey show, we headed to the butterfly and orchid farm. I love orchids...and I was in orchid heaven!
Here we are in Chiangmai at the monkey camp. We got to feed monkeys and they put on a good show for us. Meet Yai Muk...he wouldn't stop touching me. lol.
Adter the elephant ride, we rode on an ox cart back to home base and had a nice Thai buffet lunch. They actually still use these things in Thailand :)
The elephants did a show for us, an afterwards we rode them through the jungle. My guide was the COOLEST because he let me climb onto the top of the elephant where the guide usually sits, while he walked and took lots of pictures of me!
Me and Mom in Chiangmai eating our favorite noodles, "Bahmee."
My great friend Siphon and her 2 sons with me and my mom. We stayed at her house for a few days in Lampang. I haven't seen her in over 15 years!!
This particular lizard eats the little chicks, so my Uncle sets traps and once we fatten these babies up, apparently they make for good BBQ!
We are at the top of the Temple called Doi Su Tep. You have to walk up 306 steps to reach the top. Unfortunately, most of the pics you see of my trip are from my dad's camera, cause my memory card had some error, and well, when I went to download all the pics I thought I took...there weren't any :(
Yep, they have McD's in Thailand too. The menu is slightly different though. The #3 is a pork burger.
This temple is actually built by the Burmese people but monks still run the place. It's big, it's gold and it's in the middle of no where!
Yup, pretty much. There you are, minding your own business and you look over at the tree next to you and here's this lil guy staring at ya....creepy.
This is our favorite village dog...when you ask her to say "Chow" she puts her little snout in the air and makes a little howl that sounds EXACTLY like she is saying "Chow." Smart dog I tell ya, smart...
We went to the Mae Tum Royal Project, which is a grounds where they make most of the pottery, some of the silk, and some of the wood carvings found all over Thailand. Meet the artisans!
The villagers all believe that this rock is like an elephant, and they hold it very sacred. There were at least 3 shrines right next to it.
When in Thailand....do as the Thai's do! Here I am, eating my first roasted cricket or grasshopper or whatever it is. Crunchy...very, very crunchy!
AFTER... :) And to think, that only cost $300 baht (about $9 U.S.)
BEFORE....
My dad went down the street to the local dentist (there is only ONE and he works from home!)
Fresh mango trees everywhere...I could do this ALL day! Yuuuummmm!
My mom with her brother Luang-Me (1 of 5, and the last of 2 that are still alive.) We stayed at his house, which is in the Northern part of Thailand in a little place called Lampoon.
Just the average street vendor on the streets of Bangkok. We got lunch from this guy :)
After the first 11 hours of flying, we arrive in Tokyo for a brief layover. That sign behind us says something about no rats allowed :)
Here we are at LAX, me and Mom waiting for our plane. My dad and brother...who knows where they are!?!
My brother flew in a day early before we all left to vacation in Thailand. I had to put him to work...hey, it's the cheapest brake job I've ever gotten on that Mercedes!
Ahhhh. End of the shoot and the whole film is in the can! Wheeew! Here we are on the plane...good bye Florida!
Make-up arist Jen, me and our script super Meshelle. These gals rock!
G tried to bribe the Sawa brothers in to giving him their new puppy. The going price was $1,000, and they still said no!! Get your own G! (And G is sporting a fresh new cut above his eye brow, thanks to our make up artist Jen!)
Special thanks to the Staff at United Heritage Bank in Sanford, Fl. for letting us use their bank as a shooting location for the bank robbery scene. They were wonderful and we used real tellers in the scenes!
This is what happens when grips have nothing to do between shots. Hey, who's shirt is that anyways??
Producer, and CEO of Tritan Northstar, G. Anthony...working hard.
Rhett and Frida working out their fight scene. Oops...he still ended up giving her a hard knee to the stomach.
Back to Orlando to finish our movie! 4 full days of pick up shots. As you can see here, The Director and D.P. are incredibly busy.
My best friend, who is like a sister to me...since 7th grade man!! Gini is giving you a little kiss!
Skate night with the girls...it was a blast. It's been years since I've gone roller skating! I must admit though, I still got it!!
April 2007
April 28- we all went out to Leona Valley to celebrate Mandi's 22nd birthday. From left to right: My best friend Gine, Mandi, Me, and Samantha. I've known Gini since childhood and she is like a sister to me. Mandi and Sam have been in my life since they were bratty little kids...and now they are all grown up with families of their own!!! How time flies!
Me & Baby Logan :) He is the lightest 10 pounds I've ever held!
After a great breakfast with Laraine, we headed over to San Diego to see Mandi and her new baby boy- Logan. We all went out for lunch, hung out, and then had a big family style dinner when Blake (the proud new dad) came home from work.
I am back in the U.S. and SOOOOO GLAAADD!! Sharon and I drove to Riverside and met up with Laraine and Silvia for dinner. Then, it was girls night at Laraine's where the wine was flowing. Laraine's house is like a first class hotel....every bed room has it's own full bathroom and the wood floors are made of teak wood imported from Chine!
"BRANDED"...our working title for now :) We will be in Orlando in a couple weeks finishing up some last shots and then it's all off to editing!!
Ryan's balcony...this is where we all gathered for beers every night. The last 3 up were Ryan, Andreas and myself. We are sporting glow bracelets that I brought from the U.S. Andreas started to fall asleep, which meant time to call it a night. Plus, we had to literally pack his suitcase and get him out of bed for the airport like an hour later. Open bar- always makes trouble, but it also makes it fun!! Good-bye Trinidad!!
The entire group went sliding...we even did a 5 person train. down the "medium" slide. It was awesome! Well...except this time we got caught and they came and shut off the pumps and made us leave. OH well. Heck, we were all flying out in like 3 hours anyways! This is the last of us...sitting in the hallway, munching on my box of Life Cereal.
Andreas had half of a shot of the Puncheon Rum, and I had the other...and then later, we had another half. I dunno, just being different I guess :) Oh yah...AND, we were the only two on set that DID NOT get a sun burn. Nah-nah! Nah-nah! Nan-ah!
And the wrap party for Trinidad...here we are cheering Rhett on as he takes a shot of the local "Puncheon Rum." It tastes like...Everclear, you know...rubbing alcohol :) And, it BURNS going down!
Garvin (Camera P.A.) and I found a nice spot above the river bed to watch the shots for the car chase.
Anytime we needed police in our scenes, we actually would use real police :) I'm familiar with handcuffs...except, usually they are furry ;)
This is the dry river bed where we shot the end of our car chase scene. It actually rained really bad that day for a few hours, and made our dry river bed, quite wet.
Here we are in Chagaramus again. Nash (police and arms handler) is loading Rhett's gun with bullets. Our medic, Liz is standing by.
I'm not sure what's scarier...my need for a pedicure or the fact that this bug is as long as my big toe. I found this sucker crawling around in the lobby. Ewwww. Better the lobby, than my room!!
A wig from the prop bag...a few beers at the bar after a long day of shooting...and this is what happens...
Venezuela is just a few miles off the coast of Trinidad, so we caught a piece of it. And...a gorgeous sunset.
Christian was up after me, and he reeled in the biggest fish of the day (the one of the two fish we caught all day!) It was a monster...but he got it!
Finally, a day off!! Dan, Brian, Rhett, Christian, Andreas and I decided to go deep sea fishing. Here I am, being Captain. (primarily cause the boat wasn't even running at this point!)
Justin Rhodes (Director) had his birthday, so the Production team took him, and the whole crew, out to dinner at an Italian restaurant called "Vidalia."
Safety briefing with the helicopter pilot...
Can someone say "Ouch?"
Rhett took my camera up to the top of the Satellite and took a great aerial shot of me and G Anthony on the ground.
After we wrapped shooting at the Sugar Cane Mill, we headed to Chagaramus where we spent some time shooting in the "Bamboo Cathedral."
Ahh the crew...hard at work!
Unfortunately, most of our equiptment was stuck in customs. We had a fabulously creative team though, and here is the light the Gaffer (Ryan Funk) and his team created out of a coconut shell!!
It's an action film...of course we blow stuff up!!
Rhett and I were poking around and we found this disgusting barrel of old sugar cane...otherwise known as molasses. We kept dropping stuff inside it to watch it sink slowly to the depths of the barrel. Based on the time the mill closed, it had to have been there at least 10 years.
G Anthony plays the film bad guy(Monovan), and here we are getting in some camera action before we kill him off completely. Our make up gal and First A.D. did great on creating the blood and wounds!
Here are G Anthony and Frida, practicing for their fight scene. Meshelle is in the back with Rhett and our D.P. Andreas is watching the practice fight and deciding on the shot.
The next few days of shooting commenced at Brechen Palace...an old delapidated and abandoned Sugar Cane Mill. It looked like something right out of Saw...crreeeepy.
We had Friday off, so we all spent the day out at the hotel pool. Beers were flowing and we played quite a bit of "monkey in the middle" and "marco polo." And, the guys got to even out their famer tans. lol.
Here is a view of the Trinidad shoreline from the top deck of the ship. Ahhh...breathtaking!
First day of shooting and we are out on top of a huge ocean liner in the hot, hot sun. Here is our fabulous Script Supervisor and Continuity Expert...Meshelle Diment.
First day of shooting, and here we are in the Maxi Taxi on our way to Chagaramus. We drove to set everyday in one of these babies...6 a.m. call time!!
More party pics with our other star, Rhett Giles!
Here we are inside, after indulging in the open bar...from left to right- Bob Fredericks (1st Camera Asst.), Nick Colvin (Key Grip), Ryan Funk (Gaffer), Andreas Laskaris (D.P.), Frida Farrell (Star) and me :)
The night before we started shooting in Trinidad, they threw a press release party for us. Here I am with Ryan Funk (Gaffer) and Bob Fredericks (1st Camera Asst.)
I told you they were huge :)
After a long day of flying you can't keep this group out of trouble :) The hotel had 3 huge water slides attached to it but it only ran on weekends and holidays. Leave it to the Gaffer (Ryan Funk) to find the switch and turn it on. We had a few nights of secret sliding, usually around, oh 3 a.m.
To say that we had a lot of luggage is an under statement. 22 bags of basic equiptment, on top of about 2.5 personal pieces of luggage per person. It took forever to get out of that airport!
March 2007
Last day of the shoot...and thank God, the end of hard nights! (6p.m.-6a.m.) Here I am with our fabricated police and swat vehicles. They look just like the real thing, don't they? It was funnier to drive around town driving them...it's funny how NO ONE wants to pass you, even when you are going 10 miles below the speed limit just for chuckles.
Never leave the Executive Producer alone with a prop gun and a prop jacket.
Here I am with our stars, hanging out in our favorite place...the trailer! Ah! From left to right: Wolf Muser, Rhett Giles, and Frida Farrell.
Downtown Orlando...here is our star Frida and her stunt double Adam. Um, he usually has a helmet on :)
We had a day off, so I drove over to Titusville and visited my family. On the left- Al, Peggy, Bo, and then on the right with me is my eldest niece Amanda. We enjoyed some Chinese buffet at my dad's restaurant.
I had my niece Maureen come and join us as an extra for our CIA scenes. Her performance was excellent!!
I caught a flight for Orlando and after a couple days of prep, here I am with one of our stars, Nick Mancuso. This is day 1 of shooting our 4th action film "Contract Killers."
The day before I left, Ron and I headed to Runyon. It was Ron's first time. A great view...even with all the smog :)
Of course the party didn't stop there...we headed to Steve & Dave's, where we all convened on the front lawn in our underwear :) I'm not convening because, well, we all know how I feel about underwear!
The ladies all met at Lucy's in Burbank for a drink. Then we met up with Steve & Dave at Bar 21. Good times, good times!
After a very long day, we were getting a little silly and decided to play dress up with the sashes her mom uses for her displays.
I was very proud of my wall of organic hand puppets...hey, this thing took a long time to put up!!
Charlene's mom came in to town for a trade show that features organic items so we spent the day setting up her booth. Here I am with my favorite doll, cause well, it's the Asian version (check out the slanty eyes!!)
For my 30th birthday, Paul took me to Cinespace with our friend Chris and his wife. It was Chris' 40th birthday too. Afterwards, Eric (on the left) joined us for a runway show and some dancing. Then we headed out for karaoke at Sapsook in Korea town. Lastly, a late night snack of Pho. I crawled in to bed around, oh, 5 a.m.
February 2007
Mandi and Blake had a co-ed baby shower to celebrate the coming of their new son. He's due to enter the world in April!!
Be Mine?? My friend Ron treated me to an excellent Lobster dinner at the Smokehouse in Burbank. Unfortunately, I ended up tasting it twice....yah, you know how that goes..eh hem.
Lunch with Gini at Chili's, where we had LOTS of catching up to do!
Me & my date were by far the cutest couple in the room ;)
After a nice dinner at the Market Broiler, we (Rob's parents and friends) all went to see a play called "Don't Drink the Water" (Written by Woody Allen). Um, the acting was great but the story was kinda boring.
That evening I hung out with Rob & Josh at the Mission Inn Smokehouse. Port, a cigar, and a fun band called "Other Voices." Oh, and I got to watch the owner, Bill, throw a guy out for licking the pretzels and putting them back in to the bowl. I know...ewww.
Lunch at the Caribbean Tree House with our new Director Justin, actor Kevin Leverone, Producer and CEO GAnthony Joseph, and ME! They only serve Buss-up-shot on Thursdays...so that's our favorite day to go!
Rob & I met up with Ellen and Howie at The Lighthouse in Long Beach. We had a beautiful late lunch over looking the ocean. I have known Ellen since the 6th grade!
Charlene and I met up with my friend Ron at Lucy's in Burbank :) Martini anyone??
Happy New Year! May 2008 be your best year so far!
Meet Mike and his fiance. They have had lots to drink and are having party favor wars!
This is our friend Tara- she is pretty wild, and we LOVE that about her!
Bobby is doing his lip exercises to get ready for that kiss at midnight when we bring in the new year!

Ta-da! This is one of a few that we spotted.
The event is over and now we are out playing. We decided to go out alligator hunting on an air boat. Way fun!
A big group of us went to The Boathouse to eat and watch the "parade of boats." Mike, my best friend is on the left and that's Tyler in the middle. We kept him out late enough to freak his dad out :) 
We had one of the beautiful suites on top of the tower, and here we are enjoying a beautiful Florida sunset.
Here we are in Marco Island at a resort for the m2 Wealth Conference. They had a huge tree set up in the foyer, so we took it upon ourselves to be festive.
My sister Wilai and my Mommy! I love them long time!
Bobby flew in to DFW and we had Thanksgiving with my family. Here we are with my sister's kids and my first dog Maximus. 
Tiffani and her family invited us out to movie night at this place that serves food while you watch a movie. We saw Elf! 
Here is my sign for Bob, who is still out in Sac.
Here we are with the hostess, Tiffani.
Back in Houston and Mike has moved out here too. (I have a following!?)Here we are at a friends wedding. We didn't plan to match, it just worked out that way!
We love our Mango!
Bobby is so handy! Here he is working on the ceiling of the outside grill.
I flew out to Sac to see my honey and we had a nice dinner with friends at Bar 21. Marco & Nadine are on the left; Ralph & his fiance are on the right.
That says it all... 
Here I am with my full pod and my bags packed... see ya later L.A!
It was back to L.A. where Scott and Sharon met us at The Stinking Rose on La Cienega. Ymmmm, garlic!
I flew in to Austin on the 5th and met the Wealth Masters crew at the Iron Cactus for dinner and drinks. Here I am with the President, Karl and the CEO, Kip...both long time friends and mentors of mine! The Synergy Saturday event was the following day and we had a blast! Check it out at 
I met Charlene and Liam at Runyon Canyon for a hike. He's my little buddy! 
Crosswind's had a ladies night where we all brought food (pot luck style!) and had a fun social night at the church. From left to right: Danielle, Marsha, Samantha, Sharon, Me, Gini and Meagan. We had a blast!
Gini took me to a wedding as her date since Jesse had to work late. It was a nice wedding at the Cascades Golf Course in Palmdale. She's a little red from the girls' soccer games earlier :)
Back to L.A. for Char's next gig at the Pig N' Whistle. Here we are afterwards with our trusty diva boy Derrick. It was an interesting night to say the least! 
Ahhhhh... Waikiki sunset!
Finally, we reach the top of the pill boxes and have a seat on top of the roof to get a look at the ocean line and houses below. I could so live here!
The day after Diamond Head we hiked Kailua at the Lighthouse and then on the other side at the Pill Boxes. (Wheew!) The sites were gorgeous! 
Here's Bobby checking out the whales on our way up to the Lighthouse.
We took a few days and ran off to beautiful Hawaii! Here I am, after a little hike to the top of Diamond Head on the island of Oahu. 
My boyfriend has ground squirrels, which are considered pests and we've tried gassing them and even poison bait. Someone recommended a pellet gun...next day me and my trusty lab Mango got 2 of them!!
Back in L.A. for 10 days and just in time for Char's gig at The Rainbow Room in Hollywood. She rocked the house! Char is the gal in the middle! (And that's our girl Talicia on the right.)
The view of downtown and the Capitol from the Train Station.
Weekend in Boise, Id. for a friend's birthday party. We also rafted down the river! Here I am in front of the Capitol Building (which is closed for construction).
Dinner at Kasbah Lounge with my old homie Stuart. They have live belly dancers! 
The kids decided to take the golf cart for a round around the Ranch too. 
Dean decided to take me for a few rounds around the Ranch in the Dune Buggy. We had a nice little BBQ with the GMS crew. 
I flew in to Northern Cal to hang out with my friends. Here are me and Mango, out on the Sacramento River!
I spent my last night in DFW with my family. Here is me and my favorite 10 year old niece, Alyssa. 
I met up with my old friend Rebecca at TGIFriday's for dinner. We had lots of catching up to do! My shirt says "He looked good online." lol. 
We went to see "Ratatouille." Here we are, right after running through rain that had us drenched up to our calves! 
Meet my Aunt Kitsana. I haven't seen her in a very long time. She's one of my favorite Auntie's cause I remember her from a very young age. 
Maximus was my first dog. He's a long hair chihuahua and we all love him. He's my little man ;) 
After the BBQ I went out to see my nephew play in the band for a little concert. He rocks!! 
Afterwards, we headed to Hong's for a BBQ, and Ly played bartender. Here she is mixing us one of her favorites....the exotic Mojito! 
The weekend came and we all headed to the Arlington Skatium to celebrate Chandler's 5th birthday. Here I am with my longest known friend Ly and her Aunt Hong (left to right). It was a blast. 
Back at my mom's after 3 days away at the resort and we went over to my cousin's restaurant to help roll egg rolls. Want some? Just ask me...I have a freezer full! 
Miniature golf with the family...me and Bill tied for a 49. I know, we suck.
We still had a great time playing the game of life, ( I must say...being a professional athlete pays off!) We also swam, and just had an all around good time.
I flew in to DFW and joined my family for a little excursion to Hill Country! The plan was to inner tube down the Guadalupe, but thunderstorms kept the river closed :(
When at the nudist beach, do as the nudists do! Hey, it's not so weird whem everyone else is naked too. The water was clear, and very warm and clean. Oh- and I don't have those tan lines anymore :) 
Haulover Beach, where clothing, is optional :) The other sign said "No loitering in the vegetation." lol
The next day we stopped at the Everglades. It was pretty empty because it has not really recovered from the devastation of the storms in 2005. The scenery was beautiful though. 
The evening brought us back to camp at Sunset Beach in Big Pine Key. The Deer Key are protected here. At first I was feeding one deer, a few minutes later she shows up with a friend, a few minutes after that a 3rd...gawd, word spreads fast in the camp! Count it up...4 deer feeding out of my hands and they did not mind if you touched them. The males had antlers, but they were very soft. 
We stopped at the Clarence S. Higgs Memorial Beach and played in the water, chatted with a Polish family and felt a little sprinkle of rain. It was a beautiful day. 
The waters here in Florida are so clear, and so warm. Ahhh. 
Here we are at the Southernmost point in the U.S., just 90 miles off the coast of Cuba. 
Here I am on the corner of the famous Duval street in front of Sloppy Joe's. There were lots of tourists in the area because a cruise liner was passing through. 
This ship was docked in the middle of town and it is called the "Mary" (what a nice name!)
Last stop was in Key West. I met a pirate, and gave him a kiss, but he was unresponsive. Oh well. Next!
Look what I caught!! 
The next stop was in Islamorada at Holiday Isle where the world famous Tiki bar is located. The resort was breathtaking. 
Our first stop in Key Largo was at a little dive bar called The Carribean Club. The locals were already there for happy hour. 
I arrived in Fort Lauderdale on Monday, July 9th. This is the view from the back yard of my friend Alex. These iguana's run wild...and there were about 11 of them at my last count. A few of them are bigger than a small dog!! 
R.I.P. Pele Bell 07-09-07 The sweetest Chocolate Lab pup ever and at least I got to spend the last week with her. She died just hours after I left Sacramento to catch my flight to the East Coast. We aren't sure what caused it. She was only about 10 weeks old. 
The whole crew was out! These are my old friends that I used to karaoke wth around town. Bottom left to right: Alejandro, Michael, Me, Kue and John Richard. Top: Wendy, Patrick, Stuart, Tony and Roberto. Good times! Good times! 
Capital Garage has karaoke on Sunday nights. I sang "The First Cut is the Deepest" (Sheryl Crow) and "Time After Time" (Cyndi Lauper)
Meet Marco & Nadine from Hawaii, you can check out Marco's amazing art work at his site 
Here I am with my good friend, and one of the bridesmaids (Victor's sister) Lyneette. 
Here comes the Groom!
Victor & Pamela had a beautiful wedding at the Sebastiani Winery in Sonoma on 7/7/07. 
After dinner we headed to Todd's for Poker night. Todd is the guy with the shaved head :)
The next day I drove out to Stockton where I met some friends for Sushi. From left to right: Jen, Mike, Me, Kat, Tiffani and Rob. The 4 kids...all belong to Tiff and Rob, visiting from Texas!
We are here at the event with our FAVORITE board member and volunteer Mayo. He can analyze handwriting...and I must say, he is DARN good at it! Mayo kept us laughing, and every time a drag queen would walk by, he would say, "So, which bathroom do you use?"
I quickly recovered from Breda's birthday bash and got up bright and early on Sunday morning to volunteer at the "Hollywood Walk to Deliver" which is sponsored by Project Angel Food. Here are Michelle and I, manning the snacks table. I kept telling people they had to dance for their snacks, and amazingly...they all cooperated! 
My friend Breda (since 7th grade!!) had her 30th birthday party at a gorgeous house that sat right by the water in Garden Grove. Full bar, good food, lots of friends- it was a great party! 
My good friend Michael had never been to Runyon Canyon before, so we made our way up the hill ;) Gorgeous views, and a must-see if you have never been! I run there, oh, 3-4 times a week!
It was a quick day trip to Sacramento to watch Jesse graduate from Peace Officer School. Yep, that's right...he arrests people who are not being peaceful!! :)
Party Central had a Toga party on Saturday night. From left to right, Dave, me, Charlene, Frank and Steve. The guys are our party hosts, and they did a fab job!! 
On Saturday it was lunch at Black Angus Steak House with the Bennett's. I didn't keep the boyfriend, but I did keep the family!!
My mommy stayed with me in California for a few more days before heading back to Texas. We gawked at all the sites at Venice Beach...it was a beautiful day! 
Meet Erik and his wife Pin- they live in Bangkok! Erik is a friend of a friend and we had a nice dinner at "The Great American Rib Place." Good times! Good times!
After the monkey show, we headed to the butterfly and orchid farm. I love orchids...and I was in orchid heaven!
Here we are in Chiangmai at the monkey camp. We got to feed monkeys and they put on a good show for us. Meet Yai Muk...he wouldn't stop touching me. lol. 
Adter the elephant ride, we rode on an ox cart back to home base and had a nice Thai buffet lunch. They actually still use these things in Thailand :) 
The elephants did a show for us, an afterwards we rode them through the jungle. My guide was the COOLEST because he let me climb onto the top of the elephant where the guide usually sits, while he walked and took lots of pictures of me! 
Me and Mom in Chiangmai eating our favorite noodles, "Bahmee."
My great friend Siphon and her 2 sons with me and my mom. We stayed at her house for a few days in Lampang. I haven't seen her in over 15 years!! 
This particular lizard eats the little chicks, so my Uncle sets traps and once we fatten these babies up, apparently they make for good BBQ! 
We are at the top of the Temple called Doi Su Tep. You have to walk up 306 steps to reach the top. Unfortunately, most of the pics you see of my trip are from my dad's camera, cause my memory card had some error, and well, when I went to download all the pics I thought I took...there weren't any :( 
Yep, they have McD's in Thailand too. The menu is slightly different though. The #3 is a pork burger. 
This temple is actually built by the Burmese people but monks still run the place. It's big, it's gold and it's in the middle of no where! 
Yup, pretty much. There you are, minding your own business and you look over at the tree next to you and here's this lil guy staring at ya....creepy.
This is our favorite village dog...when you ask her to say "Chow" she puts her little snout in the air and makes a little howl that sounds EXACTLY like she is saying "Chow." Smart dog I tell ya, smart...
We went to the Mae Tum Royal Project, which is a grounds where they make most of the pottery, some of the silk, and some of the wood carvings found all over Thailand. Meet the artisans! 
The villagers all believe that this rock is like an elephant, and they hold it very sacred. There were at least 3 shrines right next to it. 
When in Thailand....do as the Thai's do! Here I am, eating my first roasted cricket or grasshopper or whatever it is. Crunchy...very, very crunchy! 
AFTER... :) And to think, that only cost $300 baht (about $9 U.S.)
BEFORE....
My dad went down the street to the local dentist (there is only ONE and he works from home!) 
Fresh mango trees everywhere...I could do this ALL day! Yuuuummmm!
My mom with her brother Luang-Me (1 of 5, and the last of 2 that are still alive.) We stayed at his house, which is in the Northern part of Thailand in a little place called Lampoon.
Just the average street vendor on the streets of Bangkok. We got lunch from this guy :) 
After the first 11 hours of flying, we arrive in Tokyo for a brief layover. That sign behind us says something about no rats allowed :) 
Here we are at LAX, me and Mom waiting for our plane. My dad and brother...who knows where they are!?!
My brother flew in a day early before we all left to vacation in Thailand. I had to put him to work...hey, it's the cheapest brake job I've ever gotten on that Mercedes!
Ahhhh. End of the shoot and the whole film is in the can! Wheeew! Here we are on the plane...good bye Florida! 
Make-up arist Jen, me and our script super Meshelle. These gals rock!
G tried to bribe the Sawa brothers in to giving him their new puppy. The going price was $1,000, and they still said no!! Get your own G! (And G is sporting a fresh new cut above his eye brow, thanks to our make up artist Jen!)
Special thanks to the Staff at United Heritage Bank in Sanford, Fl. for letting us use their bank as a shooting location for the bank robbery scene. They were wonderful and we used real tellers in the scenes!
This is what happens when grips have nothing to do between shots. Hey, who's shirt is that anyways??
Producer, and CEO of Tritan Northstar, G. Anthony...working hard. 
Rhett and Frida working out their fight scene. Oops...he still ended up giving her a hard knee to the stomach. 
Back to Orlando to finish our movie! 4 full days of pick up shots. As you can see here, The Director and D.P. are incredibly busy. 
My best friend, who is like a sister to me...since 7th grade man!! Gini is giving you a little kiss! 
Skate night with the girls...it was a blast. It's been years since I've gone roller skating! I must admit though, I still got it!!
April 28- we all went out to Leona Valley to celebrate Mandi's 22nd birthday. From left to right: My best friend Gine, Mandi, Me, and Samantha. I've known Gini since childhood and she is like a sister to me. Mandi and Sam have been in my life since they were bratty little kids...and now they are all grown up with families of their own!!! How time flies! 
Me & Baby Logan :) He is the lightest 10 pounds I've ever held! 
I am back in the U.S. and SOOOOO GLAAADD!! Sharon and I drove to Riverside and met up with Laraine and Silvia for dinner. Then, it was girls night at Laraine's where the wine was flowing. Laraine's house is like a first class hotel....every bed room has it's own full bathroom and the wood floors are made of teak wood imported from Chine! 
"BRANDED"...our working title for now :) We will be in Orlando in a couple weeks finishing up some last shots and then it's all off to editing!! 
Ryan's balcony...this is where we all gathered for beers every night. The last 3 up were Ryan, Andreas and myself. We are sporting glow bracelets that I brought from the U.S. Andreas started to fall asleep, which meant time to call it a night. Plus, we had to literally pack his suitcase and get him out of bed for the airport like an hour later. Open bar- always makes trouble, but it also makes it fun!! Good-bye Trinidad!!
The entire group went sliding...we even did a 5 person train. down the "medium" slide. It was awesome! Well...except this time we got caught and they came and shut off the pumps and made us leave. OH well. Heck, we were all flying out in like 3 hours anyways! This is the last of us...sitting in the hallway, munching on my box of Life Cereal.
Andreas had half of a shot of the Puncheon Rum, and I had the other...and then later, we had another half. I dunno, just being different I guess :) Oh yah...AND, we were the only two on set that DID NOT get a sun burn. Nah-nah! Nah-nah! Nan-ah!
And the wrap party for Trinidad...here we are cheering Rhett on as he takes a shot of the local "Puncheon Rum." It tastes like...Everclear, you know...rubbing alcohol :) And, it BURNS going down! 
Garvin (Camera P.A.) and I found a nice spot above the river bed to watch the shots for the car chase. 
Anytime we needed police in our scenes, we actually would use real police :) I'm familiar with handcuffs...except, usually they are furry ;)
This is the dry river bed where we shot the end of our car chase scene. It actually rained really bad that day for a few hours, and made our dry river bed, quite wet. 
Here we are in Chagaramus again. Nash (police and arms handler) is loading Rhett's gun with bullets. Our medic, Liz is standing by. 
I'm not sure what's scarier...my need for a pedicure or the fact that this bug is as long as my big toe. I found this sucker crawling around in the lobby. Ewwww. Better the lobby, than my room!!
A wig from the prop bag...a few beers at the bar after a long day of shooting...and this is what happens...
Venezuela is just a few miles off the coast of Trinidad, so we caught a piece of it. And...a gorgeous sunset. 
Christian was up after me, and he reeled in the biggest fish of the day (the one of the two fish we caught all day!) It was a monster...but he got it! 
Finally, a day off!! Dan, Brian, Rhett, Christian, Andreas and I decided to go deep sea fishing. Here I am, being Captain. (primarily cause the boat wasn't even running at this point!)
Justin Rhodes (Director) had his birthday, so the Production team took him, and the whole crew, out to dinner at an Italian restaurant called "Vidalia." 
Safety briefing with the helicopter pilot...
Can someone say "Ouch?"
Rhett took my camera up to the top of the Satellite and took a great aerial shot of me and G Anthony on the ground. 
After we wrapped shooting at the Sugar Cane Mill, we headed to Chagaramus where we spent some time shooting in the "Bamboo Cathedral."
Ahh the crew...hard at work! 
Unfortunately, most of our equiptment was stuck in customs. We had a fabulously creative team though, and here is the light the Gaffer (Ryan Funk) and his team created out of a coconut shell!! 
It's an action film...of course we blow stuff up!!
Rhett and I were poking around and we found this disgusting barrel of old sugar cane...otherwise known as molasses. We kept dropping stuff inside it to watch it sink slowly to the depths of the barrel. Based on the time the mill closed, it had to have been there at least 10 years. 
G Anthony plays the film bad guy(Monovan), and here we are getting in some camera action before we kill him off completely. Our make up gal and First A.D. did great on creating the blood and wounds!
Here are G Anthony and Frida, practicing for their fight scene. Meshelle is in the back with Rhett and our D.P. Andreas is watching the practice fight and deciding on the shot. 
The next few days of shooting commenced at Brechen Palace...an old delapidated and abandoned Sugar Cane Mill. It looked like something right out of Saw...crreeeepy. 
We had Friday off, so we all spent the day out at the hotel pool. Beers were flowing and we played quite a bit of "monkey in the middle" and "marco polo." And, the guys got to even out their famer tans. lol. 
Here is a view of the Trinidad shoreline from the top deck of the ship. Ahhh...breathtaking! 
First day of shooting and we are out on top of a huge ocean liner in the hot, hot sun. Here is our fabulous Script Supervisor and Continuity Expert...Meshelle Diment. 
First day of shooting, and here we are in the Maxi Taxi on our way to Chagaramus. We drove to set everyday in one of these babies...6 a.m. call time!! 
More party pics with our other star, Rhett Giles! 
Here we are inside, after indulging in the open bar...from left to right- Bob Fredericks (1st Camera Asst.), Nick Colvin (Key Grip), Ryan Funk (Gaffer), Andreas Laskaris (D.P.), Frida Farrell (Star) and me :)
The night before we started shooting in Trinidad, they threw a press release party for us. Here I am with Ryan Funk (Gaffer) and Bob Fredericks (1st Camera Asst.)
I told you they were huge :)
After a long day of flying you can't keep this group out of trouble :) The hotel had 3 huge water slides attached to it but it only ran on weekends and holidays. Leave it to the Gaffer (Ryan Funk) to find the switch and turn it on. We had a few nights of secret sliding, usually around, oh 3 a.m. 
To say that we had a lot of luggage is an under statement. 22 bags of basic equiptment, on top of about 2.5 personal pieces of luggage per person. It took forever to get out of that airport! 
Last day of the shoot...and thank God, the end of hard nights! (6p.m.-6a.m.) Here I am with our fabricated police and swat vehicles. They look just like the real thing, don't they? It was funnier to drive around town driving them...it's funny how NO ONE wants to pass you, even when you are going 10 miles below the speed limit just for chuckles. 
Never leave the Executive Producer alone with a prop gun and a prop jacket. 
Here I am with our stars, hanging out in our favorite place...the trailer! Ah! From left to right: Wolf Muser, Rhett Giles, and Frida Farrell. 
Downtown Orlando...here is our star Frida and her stunt double Adam. Um, he usually has a helmet on :)
We had a day off, so I drove over to Titusville and visited my family. On the left- Al, Peggy, Bo, and then on the right with me is my eldest niece Amanda. We enjoyed some Chinese buffet at my dad's restaurant. 
I had my niece Maureen come and join us as an extra for our CIA scenes. Her performance was excellent!! 
I caught a flight for Orlando and after a couple days of prep, here I am with one of our stars, Nick Mancuso. This is day 1 of shooting our 4th action film "Contract Killers."
The day before I left, Ron and I headed to Runyon. It was Ron's first time. A great view...even with all the smog :)
Of course the party didn't stop there...we headed to Steve & Dave's, where we all convened on the front lawn in our underwear :) I'm not convening because, well, we all know how I feel about underwear!
The ladies all met at Lucy's in Burbank for a drink. Then we met up with Steve & Dave at Bar 21. Good times, good times! 
After a very long day, we were getting a little silly and decided to play dress up with the sashes her mom uses for her displays. 
I was very proud of my wall of organic hand puppets...hey, this thing took a long time to put up!! 
Charlene's mom came in to town for a trade show that features organic items so we spent the day setting up her booth. Here I am with my favorite doll, cause well, it's the Asian version (check out the slanty eyes!!) 
For my 30th birthday, Paul took me to Cinespace with our friend Chris and his wife. It was Chris' 40th birthday too. Afterwards, Eric (on the left) joined us for a runway show and some dancing. Then we headed out for karaoke at Sapsook in Korea town. Lastly, a late night snack of Pho. I crawled in to bed around, oh, 5 a.m.
Mandi and Blake had a co-ed baby shower to celebrate the coming of their new son. He's due to enter the world in April!! 
Be Mine?? My friend Ron treated me to an excellent Lobster dinner at the Smokehouse in Burbank. Unfortunately, I ended up tasting it twice....yah, you know how that goes..eh hem. 
Lunch with Gini at Chili's, where we had LOTS of catching up to do! 
Me & my date were by far the cutest couple in the room ;) 
After a nice dinner at the Market Broiler, we (Rob's parents and friends) all went to see a play called "Don't Drink the Water" (Written by Woody Allen). Um, the acting was great but the story was kinda boring. 
That evening I hung out with Rob & Josh at the Mission Inn Smokehouse. Port, a cigar, and a fun band called "Other Voices." Oh, and I got to watch the owner, Bill, throw a guy out for licking the pretzels and putting them back in to the bowl. I know...ewww. 
Lunch at the Caribbean Tree House with our new Director Justin, actor Kevin Leverone, Producer and CEO GAnthony Joseph, and ME! They only serve Buss-up-shot on Thursdays...so that's our favorite day to go! 
Rob & I met up with Ellen and Howie at The Lighthouse in Long Beach. We had a beautiful late lunch over looking the ocean. I have known Ellen since the 6th grade!
Charlene and I met up with my friend Ron at Lucy's in Burbank :) Martini anyone??
