I joined a Theatre Guild in school.

Surprised?

Definitely.

Once again, I did something that was totally out of the blue. First was the debate thingy then now this theatre act.

Okay, I admit. It was really, kind of, a frustration of mine.

I always wanted to be an actress.

I kind of felt that I had what it takes to be one though I was kind of hesitant at first but still I pushed myself and now I’m loving it!

So, we had a three day workshop before we start our rehearsal. As I had expected, I was one of the weakest link in terms of stage presence and acting but still it didn’t stop me. We were there to learn and not to compete (though there still is because we had a point system in our every activity).

The first day, of course, I was really withdrawn and awkward. One thing that made me like that because it was my first time to be part of an activity without my BFFSs. Yes, my teacher and psychology majors were there but still it was different when your buddies are there. I find it hard to fit in with people who aren’t the same wave length as me.

I did made a friend during the second audition but that was because my friends where there. It’s like I’m a totally different person when they’re there and when they’re not. So in the end, that acquaintance of mine remained an acquaintance though our director told us that we now share bondage of brotherhood (or something like that. But hey, I know that it won’t end after the show since we’re basically an org now.

Anyway, I did make some friends. There are really warm, friendly and, er, close. They remind me of my friends back in high school (and I don’t want to elaborate on that). So I stuck on them. I think they don’t mind though and I do hope I wasn’t really a bother to them. -_-

So the second day, I was able to restore myself (restore? Pfft..what a word. LOL).

It was the day that I have been waiting for. The acting workshop.

It was amazing!

I was able to open my Pandora’s Box. I knew that I had it within me and I was very pleased with the result though it gave me a major headache the next morning. The only thing I didn’t do was the coffin monologue. It was really scary. The thought of you dead and saying your goodbyes to your love ones is really frightening. Good thing it wasn’t compulsory though.

So, we wrapped it all up on the third day. We had to apply all the theories that were taught during the past 2 days. So we had a glee number for every group. It was fun and really bitin! We wanted more but time wasn’t on our side.

Now this incoming Saturday, we are gonna start our voice rehearsals and maybe we will have our speech lessons by then. I really do hope that I get Madame Giry’s part. I’m crossing my fingers on that one and I’m really praying it to God. I haven’t memorized the Masquerade. Dang! I’m soo dead. T_T

I’m really gonna enjoy my last year in college. Juggle theater, studies and my role as the external vice president of the psychology society (my friends are already telling me that I should be different than the past officers. Major pressure! T_T ). Maybe I won’t be able to experience this after graduation. I’m pretty excited and scared of what life I may lead after all of these that’s why I’m making the most out of it.

God Bless to me and to you guys!

Love lots.
