Hola Bloggers!!!!

Long time no speak amigos. I've been really busy with auditions and school. School is great! I am pulling good grades. Auditioning is great! Since my last summer blog, I was able to bless two music videos with my presence and a movieo. I did one music video for the rapper Syphf for his latest single "Shake". I did another music video for the R & B singer Erica Woods. Both videos were directed and filmed by Tyler Johnson. Tyler Johnson is a Director/Photographer and the creater of Urban Room TV. The music videos videos will be out very soon and will be featured on countless websites. Tyler Johnson is awesome and gifted!

I was also involved in Ohene Cornelius movieo called "Ooh Baby. Ohene Cornelius is an Actor/Music artist making big moves in the entertainment industry. Google him. Not to mention, he was also a former mentor of mine. He was involved in the creative process of the play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. A play in which I played the male character "Nick Bottom the Weaver".

Last but not least, I snaged a feature in A.L Roberts blog called Why Blue Matters. Look out for that. In anycase, I will keep you posted as always. You Guys Rock!!! xoxoxo

Skid Row

Funny thing. A song that I can really connect to for the most part is "Skid Row", a scene and a song that can be found in the movie Little Shop of Horrors. I can relate to this particular song because when I was much younger, I had and still have the desire to leave my Hometown, Harlem. In the song "Skid Row" one of the actors who plays the character Seymour describes Skid Row with such sadness and grief. I think he did a great job. He sung my Blues. Check it out!

The movie Little Shop of Horrors made it first debut in 1986 starring actors Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene

I am So Ashamed

I am so ashamed as a Dominican, was the first thought that came to my head when I first saw Sammy Sosa's (former Baseball player's) bleached skin and light eyes. Coming from Dominican background I have always been proud of my Dominican culture and most importantly my uniqueness that comes from being Dominican. Dominicans are on of the most versatile and unique looking people in terms of race. Our shade of skin color has no limit. So, when I saw Sammy Sosa's recent pictures, I couldn't understand why he would want to reject such a beautiful and rich culture. Why would he want to reject me? I favor his skin color. I've always been proud of Dominicans who favor a darker completion because I understand how difficult it is to fight off racist and discriminative comments. They are great examples that Hispanics come in all colors. Some dark and others light. Why would he reject this idea? Why would he reject me? I am very hurt by his decision whiten his skin color and lighten his eyes. It was very hurtful and embarrassing to see him this way

Sammy Sosa's claims that his skin is going through a skin rejuvenation process. I hope so. Whatever that means.

Miley Cyrus newest single "Party in the USA" is hot! I love the song and I actually love the video. The video looks like a real life party and her cast members looks like they are having the time of their lives. This is a song I can definitely relate too. For instance, when I go to parties, I am always very nervous. Butterflies running through my stomach, sweety plams, dress too tight etc. Everything that can go possibly wrong goes wrong but when a Britney Spears jam comes on...I'm like " yeahhhhh there is a party in the USA!"

Britney Spears Better Sing Her Heart Out!!!

Britney Spears

Song- Stupid Things
Album - Blackout

They couldn't believe I did it
But I was so committed
My life was so restricted for you
I just dove inside it blind
Couldn’t see but swam inside
Thought that'd be romantic for you

Exchanged my vows and said it all
All my life prepared to fall
Even screamed at dinner for you
My friends said you would play me
But I just said they're crazy
While I was crying frantic, was it true

Why should I be sad, heaven knows
From the stupid freakin’ things that you do
I shouldn’t get mad, or sad, who knows
Just take it all as a sign that we’re through

Goodbye
Its time for me to move along
Goodbye
Its time for me to get it on
OK I’m tired of singing sad songs
Alright, Its time for me
(Britney let’s go)

I sent you to Vegas
With a pocket full of paper
And with no ultimatums on you
I thought what could separate us
But it just seemed that Vegas
Only brought the player out of you
(hey baby what’s your name)
Lavish homes and fancy cars
Even got the Drop Ferrari

Filled up our garage for you
Made your choice with all the teams
People and Us Magazines
Tell me who’d I do that for? Who?

Why should I be sad, heaven knows
From the stupid freakin’ things that you do
I shouldn’t get mad, or sad, who knows
Just take it all as a sign that we’re through

Goodbye
Its time for me to move along
Goodbye
Its time for me to get it on
OK I’m tired of singing sad songs
Alright, Its time for me
(Britney let’s go)

Its time for me to move along
Goodbye
Its time for me to get it on
OK I’m tired of singing sad songs
Alright, Its time for me
(Britney let’s go)


And don't you worry bout our angels
All the magazines trying to edit things seeing in the gossip section
They'll get good guidance and be trained well
Don’t worry I’ll keep a little secret
Just let me ask this question

Why should I be sad, heaven knows
From the stupid freakin’ things that you do
I shouldn’t get mad, or sad, who knows
Just take it all as a sign that we’re through

Goodbye
Its time for me to move along
Goodbye
Its time for me to get it on
OK I’m tired of singing sad songs
Alright, Its time for me
(Britney let’s go)

Its time for me to move along
Goodbye
Its time for me to get it on
OK I’m tired of singing sad songs
Alright, Its time for me
(Britney let's go)

Its time for me to move along
Goodbye
Its time for me to get it on
OK I’m tired of singing sad songs
Alright, Its time for me

Miss Martinez Where Were You?

Hello Twitter Bugs, Facebookers, YouTubers and Myspace nerds !

It’s your longtime friend Miss Martinez, coming back to you once again. Yes, I have been away for awhile, two months and a day to be exact. Don't be mad, and if you are don’t be! Get over it, I’m here now. A lot of things have taken place in my life since I wrote my last Blog.

At the start of the summer, I was at my life’s lowest point. I was in an inescapable place , a place that I thought I could not get out of. My relationships were falling apart, I did not know myself. The great thing about darkness is that everything in the dark must come to the light. I was depressed and alone (or so I thought). My soul was broken.

How did I get out of that darkness? God had spoken his words to me and through my God fearing friends. They told to me pray, even tho I didn’t want too. In my mind, I was in a place where in building my relationship with God, I would have to ask God, "Its me, Kathy... do you still remember me?". Little did I know, God had a bigger plan for me than I had from myself. So, .everyday I would unwillingly pray to God and give Him thanks. In the beginning, my prayers were casual. Before I knew it, my prayers became conversations. God showed me the way; he restored my soul and continues my spiritual awakening every blessed day.

Now Im Back, better than ever! In a more comfortable place. A place I had never been! A new space where Im slowly falling in love with myself, a place where Im not concerned with the lives of others, a place where I do not care about what others think about me. Insecurities, hesitation, failure have no place in my heart. Only victory! Most importantly, I am taking my walk with Jesus Christ more serious. Like my God fearing people would say "You can't have one foot in church and the other outside the door"

Through my intimate conversations with God, I have learned a lot about God and myself. One, God is not a God of confusion. Once he gives you the word, do not doubt God even when you can't see the bigger picture. Second, God created everyone equally. There is noone bigger than you and there is noone smaller than you. Everyone is equally important. Therefore, do not let anyone belittle you and always act out of love. Other deatils of my intimate conversation will be revealed to you guys further along in my blog.

I’m Back! and I’m rejoicing. No longer crying and screaming only dancing and shouting! ;-* My Happiness is contagious.

IM BAD!

Call it what you want

Joseph Simmons best known as Jojo Simmons is someone that I truly admire. I did not think it was appropriate for me to write about him because I was sure that one day I would meet him , but who am I to argue with my feelings? “Pass me a paper” Joseph Simmons is the 8th member of the Simmons family on the reality television show called Run’s House. I just simply love Joseph Simmons and in many ways adore him and look up to him. He looks after his younger siblings and older sisters, he is respectful to his parents, and he is always on his grind. One thing that I admire most about him, is his passion to be upstanding. His passion to be upstanding speaks to me in many ways because I always try my best to be a good person. Growing up in the environment that I live in it was always difficult for me to do the right thing for me such as, go to school, avoid being promiscuous, staying away from drugs and alcohol. I can proudly say that I have done a pretty good job in achieving those goals and am further along then I thought I would be. I will be starting my third year of college in August, I work, and am still very active in my church. Yes, I fall sometimes but I still get up. I admire this quality in Joseph Simmons. Yes he fell into some cracks but he managed to get himself out of them or make the changes he needed to make from his drug possessions charges to his music. I wish there were more males out there like him to be honest. Finding their own way, and not sucumming to peer pressure.

I See $ Signs

As some of you may know, and others may not know, I am a huge Martin Lawrence Fan! I have all his DVD’s. I think that Martin Lawrence is a Comedic Genius and If I had it my way he would be my Boo. Enough about me and my goals. The good news is out, “Martin Lawrence is coming back to Television”. He is working on three shows which is in development with his production company RuntelDat and two of them have network commitments.

His new comedic show has been picked up by fox and is written by Rodney Barnes. The show will be based on his experiences living in DC, his home town. The only thing left for me to wonder is will his former star studded cast from “Martin” be joining him? Our beloved Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold, Carl Anthony Payne II, and Thomas Mikal Ford? To add more fuel to the fire, Lawrence is also working with up and coming comedian Gary Owen, creating a sitcom about an interracial family. Gary Owens will be perfect for that show considering he is married with children to an African American women. Gary Owens' work can be seen on Tyler Perry’s House of Payne where he plays the role Zach and he can also been seen on re-run episodes of comic view on BET.

New Ciara feat. Missy Elliot

I think Ciara looks absolutely stunning. Dance moves on point and up to date. The alien outfits make me laugh a little bit. Her ponytail sort of reminds me of Beyonce but then again, who is not rocking a nice long ponytail. Nice to see some color in this video, considering the fact that all of the videos I have been seeing lately have been in black and white. Yes you, Beyonce. The lyrics are questionable. Loosely quoted, "Shake it like a donkey...something about a monkey...and we got the rhythm". I don't know people, maybe that's just me. We love Missy!

Truth Serum

About two months ago, I decided to stop lying. Before this major change in life, I was a pathological liar. I would lie anything and everything.. For instance, If I did not want to come to the phone, I would tell my mother to tell them “She’s not here”. I would lie about people’s appearances and tell them “You look O.K” or worse if I dropped, broke, or misplaced an item in the house I would tell my parents “It wasn’t me”.
Although these are little lies, they are still lies. They go from little white lies, to horrible lies to big huge orchestra lies and if you ask me, they are really difficult to get out of. I decided to stop lying because I was hurting the ones I loved and also myself. Sooner than later, I could not tell the difference between fact or fiction. One example of an orchestra lie, was years ago in my home. “ When I was seventeen years old, my brother Rodney had misplaced a Jar of some sort in his room, thinking he had lost it or going by experience of me always going into his room when he is isn’t there (as a younger sibling would) he quickly blamed it on me. He had told our parents I took his jar. My parents in their mood of “ask one question and blame, blame, blame”. Asked me if I had taken my brother’s Jar. In a honest, no hesitation response I said “No”. Of course, neither my parents or brother believed me which hurt me and caused me to cry. It hurt me because, I really had not taken anything out of his room. Of the record, if I did take something out of his room or played with his video games I would have put it back in it’s place, I was sneaky like that. Anyways, no one believed me because I had proven myself to be a liar.
A year later, still a convicted liar. My brother confessed to me, that he had found the Jar later on that day but he didn’t want to tell me or apologize because he had felt bad for making me cry. As expected, I was highly upset because I was telling the truth and no one had believed me. Although it was my brothers’ fault for not checking his room thoroughly and lacking evidence, I still had to carry some blame. If I was known for telling the truth and not being sneaky, everyone would have believed me of the bat.
In remembrance of this situation, that took place three years ago and what taken place two months ago, I have decided to make a major change in my life, not to lie ever again. Since then life has been good and I feel like a weight has been taken of my shoulders on top of that, my acne had cleared up.
I have gained a new perspective about myself and life. Since I have stopped lying, I noticed that there are people who are lying around me. Shame on them. If I’m watching TV and I don’t want to talk to you. The response is “I’m watching Grey’s anatomy, I’ll talk to you later” If you ask me who am I with, knowing that you don’t like the person, the response is “I’m with Jose”. If I’m running late and I was suppose to be at your house, 2 hours ago, the response is “I haven’t left the house, I’ll be there in an hour.

Come on people, ask away

I don’t bite!

I' am so proud of Optimum Triple Play for taking a stand against racism in Latino television. Ever since I was a little girl, Latinos with a darker completion have been absent from Latino television. Roles are minimum or very degrading. Since I understood this concept, I always knew that I would never waste my time auditioning for Latino television. From being a servant to sleeping with the slave master is the only way a dark skin Latino like myself, can get a role on Latino television. Even in 2009, Latino television has not gotten with the program and have not changed their dimension of thinking.

In Optimum Triple Play's latest commercial, one of the main dancers is a beautiful brown skin Latina. She is vibrant, charismatic, and a very talented dancer. The dancer wears her hair in braids which is a plus. I am proud of this young lady. Although, I am talking about a commercial, This is a small step towards moving forward in Latino television where we can see multiple colors and shapes of Latinos. Optimum Triple Play commercial can be seen on all Latino channels. such as 41 and 47.

¡Optimum Triple Play es candela!

Let's take the spotlight off me for a moment

Did anyone hear Ciara's New Album "Fantasy Ride" ? I didn't but I can not wait till her new album comes out. Her First two singles are club bangers Never Ever and Love Sex Magic. Both singles show her maturity as a woman and as a music artist. Her sexiness is undeniable, her dance skills are way past standard and can we say vocal coach ? With twist, turns and Bends. Ciara is giving some of our more established artist a run for their money!!! Her album drops on April 28th. If you don't believe me check out her latest video feat. Justin Timberlake.

Hot MAMA !!!

I have some very exciting news. I booked my first acting job in a music video. I am so psyched right now. Hyped!!! On Sunday April 19 I will be playing the role of an extra in Cheryl Martinez’s new music video called Bad Girl. Remember “There are no such thing as Small roles but only small actors”.

Cheryl Martinez is a singer/song writer straight out of Long Island. She can be seen in Beyonce’s music video If I were a Boy. At the same time she is a graduate of Binghamton University and she now has her own production company called the Big Apple Dancers. You can find more information on her production company at BigAppleDancers.Com. Cheryl Martinez is no dummy and is making her mark in the entertainment industry.

o.k. o.k.. So, I am very psyched about the role. Believe it or not, I believe that this role will open some doors for me in terms of being a great asset to my resume and also opening doors with networking. As an Extra I will be charming, a great dancer, cute and a hot Mama !!! As a professional I will be hardworking and ready to work. Look out for me in Cheryl Martinez’s Bad Girl Video. Hopefully, you will see my hand, a toe or even a face. Still look out for me. Thanks for reading and soon thanks for watching. Let’s Rock it...

My Calling

In Hollywood, California, casting directors often say, "There are no such things as small roles but only small actors." This quote relates greatly to me because when I was in the fifth grade, I was in the school play, The Wizard of Oz. In the play I only had one line. My one line in the play was the highlight of the performance in my eyes. That was the happiest day of my life and from that point on I knew I wanted to be become an actress.

In the play I performed the part of one of the mice. Although children's from age's eight to twelve were not allowed to audition, we played a huge part in the dance sequence of the play. Luckily, the director changed his mind and decided to cast some of the children.

On the day of the audition, I was overcome with nervousness because my classmates were watching me. Nevertheless, I continued working hard and went on with the audition. I finally said the anticipated line, "Hey where did you get all those poppies from, huh?". It's been a long time since I've said that line. I can not believe I still remember it.

When the day of the show came, I was so excited and also very chatty. The show started and as I predicted, I said the long awaited line: "Hey where did you get all those poppies from, huh?" I did a phenomenal job! Everyone congratulated me at the conclusion of the play.

When I went home that night, I could not sleep. The audience's reaction was all I could think about. The idea that I captivated the audience with my voice and my irresistible charm amazed me and sparked an interest in me.
