Tiffany Limos on Hiatus.

Dear Fans and Friends,

I have to go on a much needed hiatus.
I have alot of work ahead of me and I am elated!
So you won't be hearing from me for a while.
I have to take care of business.
When I return, it will be well worth it for all.

I watched Ma Mere, The Grocer's son, The Piano Teacher, The Voyage, and Born into Brothels today. Yes, I watch movies back to back and I can watch a record breaking ten movies back to back. I just love it. (the only person who can battle me by watching more films is QT!) I also checked out a few great Marlon and Tarita Brando links. Superb!

I am a huge fan of the actor Nicolas Cazale. I am also a great fan of the actress Isabelle Huppert. That's why I decided to watch these films today. I had also been meaning to watch Born into Brothels and I cried watching it. It reminded me of the kids in the Philippines, Thailand, and Algeria. Its a must SEE! If you have netflix you can watch it on your computer. I highly recommend it. 4 STARS.

I will leave you with something I found on the internet. While I'm focusing, you should be focusing too.

Ciao,
TL

How to Focus on FAITH.

Focusing on faith can be an extremely difficult thing to do. In today’s world people are obsessed with amassing as many material possessions as they can while they are alive, then they do not have much time for spiritual activities such as focusing on one’s faith.

One way of focusing on faith would be to believe in the teachings of your faith. Thus, it will be important to read on the teachings of your particular faith. If you are a Christian, it would be urgent that you would be familiar with the Holy Bible. If you are a Muslim, then reading the Koran is what should occupy a fair part of your spare time. For Buddhists, reading the Tripitaka or any other important article will help you keep in mind the principles on which one’s faith was founded. Of course reading here does not merely mean plain reading of the text, but involves concentration and understanding. Ultimately, it will involve applying what the teachings require you to do.

Another way to focus on faith would be to attend church or faith services as often as possible. Sometimes you can simply attend an interfaith or a prayer meeting during a lunch break at the office or during a quiet afternoon in the home of a friend. Going to such prayer meetings not only strengthens bonds among the attendees, but also strengthens your faith in their beliefs. Attending church or other faith services also helps you participate in a communal activity for groups of people with the same faith. If a certain group of people have the same objectives with respect to their faith community, then it will be these people’s faith that can drive them to achieve all their goals.

You could also set aside time for meditation and reflection. Some quiet time without any distractions allows you to concentrate on what you are thinking. Also, the removal of any distractions also lets you think about the greater issues in your life – of your role in the community and ultimately, in this world. You are also able to think about your own mission in life, and to model it after someone who he believes in.

Lastly, it is important to act out your faith. This is not to say that you ought to act ala Joan of Arc and begin to battle with those who do not believe in God, but rather to apply the teachings of your faith in the little things that you do in your everyday lives. If God taught you to love one another, perhaps then it is about time that you avoid passing judgment on people immediately. If God taught you to be generous, then you should give more to people in need. If you do not have the material resources, then volunteering your time in a shelter or in a government day care center is certainly equal to ‘acting out the part.’ It will never be difficult to focus on faith as long as your mind is clear of any distractions and as long as you are willing to be focused on it.

Today's BLAST from the PAST... Tahiti 2005 ! Noa Noa !

Of course you know the famous photo where I had been crying for hours:

There were some paintings in Tahiti made from this picture (I don't know why) but I will post it as soon as I find it on my other computer.





In the same magazine and separate article. Tarita Brando.


I wanted to put this up because I have had Tarita on my mind and because Tahiti/Paris are like my second homes now in 2009. Its funny to read in this article I say that I am living between Los Angeles and Mexico City! Wow, so much has changed since then. That is not the case now at all.
I have had Tahiti and Paris on my mind everyday as well.
So I found it appropriate to blast this from the past.
Every month or so I do that, I will just reflect from my past.
(in one way or another)
Great things always happen for me in France, I don't know why?
French was the second language I learned besides English.
I even learned it before I learned Tagalog, the Philippines national language.
But to be honest I know Spanish alot better than I do Tagalog. Tagalog is spoken to me everyday and its on tv but I don't speak it as well as I do Spanish.
I guess it was because I WAS living in Mexico City and Oaxaca City in 2005!
The funny thing is that I look the same which I used to dislike but I am so grateful that I haven't aged and gotten any wrinkles like the other people I know.
But my body has filled out. Moi derrière et moi bustier ajustements plus fortement!
So I have this baby face with a woman's body. I do not have the body I had when I was 25.

I don't speak French unless I have to. But all of that will change because I am well loved in France and they have been my biggest supporters since 1999. I owe the French alot and I will update you on my progress with my work there.

I can't tell you how much I love France!
And since Tahiti is one of its colonies, I am an honorary French woman...
Tahiti aka French Polynesia!

I really adore Eva Green. She is my favorite actress right now. Here is a snippet of why I adore her. Look her up if you don't know who she is.

In addition to her acting career, Green has modeled for Breil, Emporio Armani, Lancôme, Heineken, and Christian Dior SA's "Midnight Poison" perfume, in an advert directed by Wong Kar-wai. She followed in her mother's footsteps by supporting Unicef. She has also expressed interest in returning to the theatre, and has no plans to go to work in Hollywood because, "The problem with Hollywood is that the studios are super powerful, they have far more power than the directors. My ambition at this moment is just to find a good script." She added she would probably just get typecast as a femme fetale there.
I LOVE EVA GREEN!

No one is more humble and intelligent as Eva. She is a goddess with killer looks

What I love about Eva so much is that she understands what its like to just want to work with great people whether its in front of the camera or behind. She isn't like the American actresses I know. Don't get me wrong, I have many American actress friends but there is a huge difference between the way the American actresses are trained to work than the European and Asian actresses. The Asian and European actresses get to work with directors who are extremely creative because unlike America, they do not have studios sucking all the creativity out of the process. If you are in the business you know what I am talking about. There is nothing wrong with working with the studios and there is nothing wrong with not wanting to work with the studios. I prefer to make movies that have a strong script and I prefer to make movies in a country where nudity isn't the topic of conversation. Eva is right, America has violence on the streets and on screen but they are so afraid of sex! I am not going to call out directors I know but most of them in America shy away from nudity but will not think twice about using violence. There is nothing wrong with sex or the naked body. We see our naked body everyday. There is nothing wrong with sex. Unless you are in the church or a total prude, you've had sex with yourself or with someone else so its not that big of a deal. And I hate it when American actresses have to defend themselves or talk about why they did a nude scene. WHO CARES! There was a certain actress I saw the other on tv and she was explaining that her scenes were not gratuitous. I started to laugh so hard. Since when has being naked been gratuitous???!!! Only in America they would make you feel that being naked or having sex is gratuitous! That is absurd and ridiculous! I wished those actresses would shut up sometimes and just listen to what they are saying!

I always felt that Eva was the only peer who understood where I was coming from. Well Liv Tyler understood me very well AND she also worked with Bertolucci. I love being in Asia and Europe because they understand me quite well. That is where my destiny lies.
