Drama and Acting

MY FEET HURTS AGAIN. LIKE CRAZY.

Walked ALL the way down session road from my work place (Brent road)

And I wanted to show a picture of my "swollen" foot but nah, you might puke. Like crazy. :p

So just take a look at my low quality picture. As long as you can see my eyebags like crazy. :p

This is how haggard I am!! (pimples FTW)

There was never a day that I wanted to EAT voraciously but I have to control and watch my food since I'm at the borderline of being overweight.  Sigh. Fortunately, when I checked my own BMI (Body Mass Index; normal weight for you) I was still within the range.  STILL WITHIN. BUT ALMOST THERE. =_=

At least, I got over the "bulimic" stage; I don't vomit nowadays and yeah, you get my point. :)

I must say today's chapel time was fun.  I really like how teacher Dave shared this morning.  It was fun listening to him; both for the kids and the adults.  I think I will do that someday too; probably for sunday school or for outreach... or AWANA.  It's easy to do (teacher's side) and easy to understand (listener's side).  I hope I get to be that "attention-getter" someday.  These days, it's really hard to hold a child's attention for a long time... even for just a short time.  We have to compete with all the media and the fast-paced life they have.  I just wish they can think "fast-paced" too. lol

Very hungry now. (random feeling now)

Yesterday, I told you that there would be upcoming auditions for DRAMA CLUB.  I was expecting more students.  More performances.  However, many backed out.  Probably felt REALLY NERVOUS and didn't know what to do... (I wonder how Knigel went home; his brothers weren't around today...)  The grade 3 boys (which is why I remembered Knigel & Co.) were VERY CUTE!! I must say, among them all; I'm sure it was during their performance time that I had a very big grin on my face.  Well, smile on my face.  I had great fun watching them.  They had a short preparation time; weren't able to audition for the second round because they needed to go home (I understand; they're on grade school)  Anyways, scored pretty high for their age.  ^__^  I must say, I expected the others from their class to audition.  Turns out, Jauvic was a very good actor.  I liked how he expressed his voice and his character as a "policeman" (cause I wasn't really sure what he was.lol).   Tamyka! Ah, focused.  Quite obvious that she has had experience with acting; quite good too.  I wanted Jairah and Vallerie to join too but they didn't want it as much as she does.  (Now, I'm thinking should I do a re-cast for the Musicale? Hmm...) They should've just auditioned.  It's so "sayang!"...  Sarah and Christel has potential! ^^ Christel got reaaalllyyy shy at the end, that even though teacher Meynard already went out just for her to feel comfortable, she wasn't able to deliver what I wanted her to do since (I guess) it feels awkward already.  We've been waiting for her to say the first words: "Mom! Dad!..." for around 15 minutes.  And eventually I just decided that she take the script home; memorize it and perform it again next week.  Students need to perform at their best.

Speaking about "performing"...

I almost shouted at James during the piano class since I was REALLY annoyed by his petty complaints on how hard the musical score was.  I mean, DUH, it's for a recital! It really should be expected that it will be hard.  I guess he was just doubting himself that he CAN ACTUALLY DO IT.  I am a teacher.  And I have been a student.  I know how it is.  But I also know that students can actually do something if we just push them. (That's how my teacher was... I learned through that.)  When I was still a student (high school), I WAS PROBABLY A PAIN IN THE ASS since I kept complaining (not really as much as high school students now are) how hard things were and how hard musical pieces were and how I cannot do it.  I was actually annoyed before when my Piano teacher; teacher Arlene; kept on telling me "Nope! I know you can do it!" ALL THE ANNOYING TIME. haha NOW!!! I UNDERSTAND!! She really, literally means and knows that I can do it.  I just needed to understand and believe in myself that I really can.  With enough practice, and efforts, it pays to listen to your teacher. ^_^ (i  miss my piano teacher...)

I remembered what my dad usually tells me when he sees me slacking: "Daig ng masipag ang matalino." (Diligence surpasses intelligence).  Which is oh, so true.  I know I'm not THATTT smart, but at least I am a bit. =P And I SERIOUSLY regret that I didn't do my best with studying. Sigh. I was a happy-go-lucky person.  Learned things on my own. No studying habits at all (simply listens to lectures at class. Doesn't review and all that)!! ARGH. Should have studied harder, could have gotten higher grades.

Enough with me. I'm just happy I'm home now. AND I CAN REST!!! =)

I'm so happy with the 4th grade's presentation today. So cute. :)

I need more BOYS! (for the drama; that is.) :p
