Step 1: Be Asian.

Step 2: Move to La Paz.

That’s it, folks. In two simple steps you can get yourself on the path to fame.

My acting experience consists of high school Shakespeare plays in English class and Christmas presentations at church. My modelling experience consists of catwalking fashion design students’ work more than a decade ago.

And yet, publicists have asked me to audition twice – and given me the part both times.

After getting turned down for an aid and development position and subsequently filming my second TV commercial, it occurs to me that perhaps I am on the wrong career path. I have made a grand total of nothing ($0) fighting for justice; in contrast, I’ve earned about 1700 bolivianos (about USD250) doing advertising.

So …

Step 3: Hollywood, baby! 😛

From Advent to Adventure

  • 7 December 2016
It’s the second week of Advent and I’m not really feeling it. Generally speaking, people slide easily into one of three distinct categories: (1) those who absolutely love Christmas; (2) those who find Christmas super stressful; and, (3) those who are indifferent to Christmas. I love Jesus but I am planted firmly in the third camp. So I scour the season, I scour Scripture, both for magic and for logic.
