I've been initiated!

So here goes...
"It" happened. The thing that all comedians dread, and yet all comedians experience. I bombed in the seediest club in Hollywood.
All of my comedian compatriates said it was bound to happen. They say your first time, you kill (do well), then your 2nd time you almost always bomb (do poorly)... I was so afraid of bombing my 2nd time that I actually studied my own vcd of myself, rehearsed in front of the mirror, all that...
So my 3rd time's a bomb! I understand what happens. A comic gets their 1st success and gets pretty cocky... so cocky that they go on without rehearsal or even connecting with the audience. I rested on my laurels and couldn't get up...
What a place to bomb... blue neon lights... mirrors everywhere you look... it was like a strip club. Faizon Love of Elf and Friday was there to host the show... if I did well, I could have plugged my comedy show...
I've heard comedians say that you're not a true comedian unless you've bombed and got back up again. At least now I can say that I'm a comedian.
Faizon says, "Don't quit your day job..."

What I love about my life

What I love about my life (in random order):

Myspace/myspace blogs... I love expressing myself here where friends/family/complete strangers can connect!

Living in LA... where I've made friends that are my "local family"

My height I cursed it as a teenager, but Im so thankful for it when I'm at a packed concert!

Being a woman. I guess I couldve worn makeup and heels even as a boy, but, yeah I enjoy being a girl! I have the best luck with cops, bartenders, customer service

Being Filipino. Maybe I chose to be Filipino last lifetime. Our culture has the only stereotype being hospitable. Not too shabby!

My sense of humor its kept me able to laugh (at myself mostly) and has kept me alive for almost 26 years now.

Being single... being my own woman.

My relatives part of being Filipino is being close to all 10,000,000 some odd relatives. I have some odd relatives! Im so blessed to have cousins like Kitty and Patrick. Theyre like playmates that God made sure were a part of my life from the beginning!

My sisters as the oldest, I always thought that Eri, Nori, and Xavi were born simply for my amusement. Now I know that I was born to laugh and learn with them.

My parents My mom, my best friend, my role model for living La Vie en Rose taking pleasure in style. My Pops, my hero and role model for crazy self-expression and making people laugh.

What do YOU love about your life?
