Yes, Jesus loves me...He loves you too

About Me


Create your own Friend Quiz hereCurrently, I am doing my best to strengthen my beliefs and my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and I hope to see each and everyone of my friends and family in Heaven. I'm an actress who works part-time as a magician's assistant to Alan Arita . I love to act in local independent films, commercials, and community theatre. I'm currently working on some projects as a director, which is definitely a challenge. Check out Monarch Talent Management (my talent management)
Or you can read my bio on [chE.A.p film] productions' website
I have a website too, Laine Yoshioka .
I'm also listed on Tri Le's Rising Stars page.

I love to eat ice cream and cake...so my favorite food is ice cream cake, naturally. I'm trying to get in shape now, though, so I can't go to Cold Stone as often as I would like to. Another famous trait of mine is that I like the color blue.

My Interests

My number one interest is my Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus. My second most consuming thought is Hanzo! I love dancing, singing, and acting. Sometimes I scribble sketches on my drawing pad. I knit. I am taking watercolor classes. Once in a while I play World of Warcraft. Horses are my favorite animals. I have a cat, Princess, and a dog, Starphish. They are both so full of personality.

I'd like to meet:

Well, on myspace, I'd like to meet old friends and make new friends. Hmm...I know for sure don't want to meet creepy perverts. If you want me to "hit you back" you better know me from beforehand. Ultimately, when my time on Earth is through, I'd like to meet God.

Music:

I'm a huge "Incubus" fan. Other favorites are "The Dragon*flies", "The Mynahs", "No Doubt," "Pidgeon," "Foo Fighters" (especially the song Everlong done acoustic style) and "Hoobastank." I enjoy many genres of music as well, anything from Christian worship songs to Drum and Bass. I enjoy listening to Emm Gryner (she sings this amazing song titled "Acid"), Norah Jones, DieselBoy, Broadway songs from plays like Miss Saigon and Rent, big band songs, and movie soundtrack songs (for example the song "Kissing You" on the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack). I also enjoy listening to Alanis Morsette, Jewel, Bjork, Missing Dave, and Elevin (a local band).
"We all have something that digs at us..." --Incubus "Dig"

Movies:

Now, you must see "The Science of Sleep." Visually tantilizing and oh so confusing...I loved every second of it. Other favorites are: Elizabethtown, Superman Returns, Little Miss Sunshine, Garden State, Closer, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ever After, The Matrix (The first one only), Alice in Wonderland (Disney's version), Milk Money, Anywhere But Here, Legend (with Tom Cruise), The Last Unicorn, Y Tu Mama Tabien, Josie and the Pussycats, Resident Evil (the first one), Groove, The Nightmare Before Christmas, 21 Grams, Queen of the Damned, Amelie (a foreign French film), and the Fifth Element.

I portrayed a geisha in Steel Train's music video for "Better Love"
On Aug. 2005, I filmed a commercial for Tattoolicious! It is the tattoo parlor and salon on the corner of McCully and Ala Wai.
Did a commercial for 95.5 The Fish radio station.
Commerical for DeZign Homes which was directed by the amazing Brett Wagner.

Television:

Smallville rocks! I haven't been keeping up with it lately, but Hanzo let me have the five seasons...so a Smallville marathon is soon to come. But yeah, I try not to watch TV because it makes me feel sluggish.

Books:

Ah...books. Now that I am out of school, I will try to read more books. I really enjoy flipping through the pictures in magazines. Recently, I have been reading the Bible everyday in my daily devotions. I'd have to say that I enjoyed reading Brandon Boyd's "White Fluffy Clouds," Mona Simpson's "Where the Heart Is," and Tad William's "TailChaser's Song." When I was really young I read all of Marguerite Henry's books about horses such as Misty of Chincoteague. I also read some of Piers Anthony's "Xanth" books.

Heroes:

Jesus is my Hero!!! He saved my life! Also, I am very blessed to have such an awesome family!Cursor by www.Soup-Faerie.Com
