LAKERS ON THE SOUTHWEST PLANE! (Not all guys were on it)


Today was one of my good day when I was on my way to San Jose Airport. Arriving from LAX -Southwest Airline, I had to change plan to head over to San Jose Airline. While I looked for my gate number and couldn't find it. I looked up to see the signs which gate I was supposed to go, I looked and noticed two tall guys were standing next to me side by side as they were walking.. I looked to my right and then left, then looked back up. "I think I found my gate and I am an hour early". I looked around to see if there is any food I can grab to eat before I leave LAX. I spotted one tall guy and noticed their clothes- they all worn black with Lakers logos. I shrugged my shoulder and moved on. Saw another one again, I was thinking, wait a min, this dude looks familiar... anyway.. moving on to find something to eat.. a lady walked up to one of the Laker teamplayer and asked for autograph, "said, oh my.. my daughter wanted your autograph and it would be an honor".. I looked one who was walking toward my direction to the same gate I was waiting for. My mind went blank then finally it caught on, "Oh wait! Lakers!!! awesome dudes"- dang what's wrong with me.. anyhow..

I walked to my gate with pre-boarding pass and noticed people were taking pictures and such. I knew what they were doing but why do it up close? I looked back and realized they're standing the same line as I was. I looked at one of the guy who I kept looking and trying to figure it out.. I was like, ohhhh you're the lakers.. awesome then I went back to do what I was doing.. One guy laughed. The person who handled the tickets knew I was deaf. He signed a bit to me and told me to continue. I went in and sat. One sweet lady was sitting next to me with her iphone on. She had a video camera-ready. I laughed and the guys came in. One of them had to dunk his head because he was too long. I looked and laughed. He smiled and kept walking.

That was one of the cool experience I witnessed today.

Guys I recognized- only few were there. They were: Xavier Henry, Wesley Johnson, Ryan Kelly, Shawne Williams, and Jodie Meeks. There were others but couldn't pinpoint most of them.

Go Lakers!

An Article from Steppenwolf "TRIBES"...I shared my experience related to the play

"How Can You Perform So Well?

Performer Regina Daniels on her experiences on the stage with hearing loss."
Congrats to Steppenwolf Theater for doing this play. Everyone will enjoy watching and learning about TRIBES..

It was an honor to write an article for Steppenwolf Theater Company. I worked with them nearly 3 years and it was a blessing to share my experience. TRIBES and I have a similar experience when growing up. My childhood- I thank my family who supported me and encouraged me to succeed in the future.

Moved to Monterey, California

Hello everyone,

Hope all of you will enjoy your thanksgiving holiday as I am enjoying my time here. I know I have not maintain my blog since I last posted about the shows here in Chicago, IL. I've made a huge decision and moved to Monterey, Ca. An opportunity came and knocked at my door, I grabbed the opportunity. Since I made the move, things are starting to look up and on a slow pace. Teaching at CSUMB is a different experience but quite challenging at the same time. 

Overall, I've met a lot of people and learned new things from them. I thank them and glad I met new friends. I look forward to continue working hard toward that path. More info- Contact me through here. 

Happy Thanksgiving and be safe.

Sincerely,

Regina
