NYE

Another year is almost over...can't believe it!
Today I was supposed to leave to the mountains for NYE with my friends but due to my preparation-for-the-audition schedule, I really couldn't stay away even for a couple of days..DUH!

But after all I'm not that sad, I'm working hard and this is just a little sacrifice after all :)

So, when my friends were headin' to the north this morning, I've been spending some time thinking about the past year and I'm happy to say that everyday I'm realizing how lucky I am!

I've got AWESOME Friends (capital F, because they're really REALLYgreat Friends!),  Lovely and amazing family, good and pretty things (maybe not as much as people is used to have nowadays but hey, many people don't have 'em AT ALL.)... I'm so incredibly BLESSED :)

So, tonight I've decided to celebrate my NYE with my family, sending my thoughts to my friends instead of going clubbing or to a random party.

Hope the new year will bring some more motivtion to me and my Dreams and much HAPPINESS to all those I love and those who love me!

After all everybody has its own drama but happiness is made by the way you choose to live them.

Happy NYE y'all, 2013 it's gonna be  great year just stay strong and work hard!

Xmas..Xmess

Woah, these days have been frantic, but Xmas Eve's finally here and I may can afford some rest..:)

I have been working hard on my audition and things are turning out to be pretty messy..!

The pianist I was working with couldn't play Don't rain on my Parade so I had to find a new one, hope everything will turn out as good as possible!

Thankfully, I got more and more help on the acting and dancing side, a really talented and kind Brown University grad offered to help me with my monologues and a friend of mine who is actually a ballet dancer is helping me with the coreography...I couldn't be more blessed!

After all, even if pretty messy, things are going pretty well, hope to figure out how to manage all this pianist thing!
Wishing for a Xmas miracle!
Fingers crossed :)

And Merry Xmas y'all!!

Work in progress

I've been pretty busy lately so I didn't really had time to write anything!

I studied hard and I gave my IELTS exam, I don't have the results yet but I really hope I did good enough because I'm applying for the Royal conservatoire of Scotland and I need a good score..!

I'm now preparing myself for the audition part..! *I really wanna run&hide because it terrifies me!!!*

In my attempt to overcome my fear for auditions, I reunited all the possible support I could get so I'm now having one or two extra singing an dancing sessions per week to be sure to be properly prepared..HUZZAH!


Since I'm an overseas applicant, I can tape the entry audition and send it with my application! Can't really decide if it is a good or a bad thing for a possible callback..!


I feel more confident now that I have the physical and psychological help and support from my trainers and the ones who love me! :)

The thing that worries me the most are the monologues..! I really can't decide which ones I should prepare..!

I have to prepare a classical shakespearean monologue and a contemporary monologue, any suggestion?

 

P.S. Things are getting pretty Xmasy, I almost changed a couple of songs with Xmas songs, I LOVE Xmassss!! Haha!

Freebiejeebies

These days I've been looking for a new laptop and I realized that they're all pretty expensive..!

That's how I found out the existence of Freebiejeebies.com.

Freebiejeebies is a web site where you can get many Apple products almost for free.

You'll be wondering: Is this some kind of scam?

The answer is NO!

Freebiejeebies is all based on sponsors and other sites so the products are not really for free but you won't really be the one who pays for them.

So, where does the money come from?
Well, the money comes from the offers.
Companies, such as LoveFilm, will pay somewhere in the region of £20 for every person that signs up to a FREE trial in the hope that some stay and spend some cash. The truth is you can get out of there with out spending a penny.
All that freebie jeebies do is pass some of this money on in the form of gadgets!


All you have to do is to sign up on Freebiejeebies, complete an offer (register to one of the sponsor sites for 10£) and get as many people as you can to do the same!

The ones that you will convince to register on Freebiejeebies will be signed as your referrals.



For example, to get an iphone 5 16GB you'll have to collect 30 referrals.

That's how it works:

1. Go to Freebiejeebies

2. Sign up (insert your email address)

3. Create your Freebiejeebies account

4. THAT'S THE STEP WHERE YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY YOUR LITTLE CONTRIBUTION (10£) At this point you'll have to sign up to one of the sponsor web sites ( For example I choose Little Bid Tasty which will cost you only 10£, some other sponsor sites ask you to pay a little more)

5. Now you should have completed you registration and you'll can collect as many referrals as you need!



There's no limit of time so don't let you down if it'll take some time to get referrals!










With the 10£ you'll spend on Little Bid Tasty you're actually buying credit on this site so you can try to bid on Little Bis Tasty with the credit you've bought if you want!

 






If you're still sceptic about freebiejeebies, here's a site plenty of reviews!

Beauty

I've been thinking a lot about what beauty really is lately.

There are many ways to think about it, I mean, nowadays  the media give us an idea of beauty that can't be considered an universal example of it.

After all, attractive things/ people aren't always objectively pleasant for everyone.

Now, I want to focus on a specific sort of beauty which is the beauty we see in the other people that make them be so charming to us.

Of course, the look is an important thing at the beginning because is the first thing you can see of the other person, is the first impression you get of him/her.

Personally, my fav part is when - after the first approach - you begin to discover the person itself, the mind behind the facade, which is the thing a person should really be attracted to.

Pretty faces can fool people for a limited time, a beautiful mind and a good heart will conquer true affection. :)

So, no matter what, keep your feet on the ground, never forget where you started from and be nice..or try to! ;)

Failure is part of Success, never get tiret of trying so you can achieve your Dreams.

 

One can be not so pretty on the outside but be beautiful on the inside, or be so attractive on the outside and be horrible on the inside, or be pretty on both in and outside or...you got it right?

Stay focused peep! 

What shine's not always precious as we think!

RED

I just freakin' LOVE Taylor Swift's new album RED.

That's it, I'm killing the repeat button over and over.

Here's one of my fav track!

Forward

Last night I tried to stay awake so I could check the polls live but I actually fell asleep (Eff you time zone!).

However, I was  so glad to wake up discovering that Obama was re-elected..!

The only thing I don't really like about democrats must be abortion..

But nobody's perfect and we'll always have to deal with something/someone..!

Good people are good people, no matter if they're tall, short, black, white, yellow, blue, purple, republicans, democrats, gay, straight, cats, pandas, dinosaurs, unicorns, cakes..

So many hopes for the next 4 years for America and the entire world, look forward for the progress!

And remember to vote the fantastilicious FlagHeadLady in 2016! Ahah!

Election Day

First of all I have to say that I'm not American and I actually have no idea of how things are going there, but President Obama has my simpathy.

Not just because all of those funny memes about him you can find on-line or whatever but because at the eyes of the rest of the world, he really is a role model, a Man who actually put the other's needs before his.

I know that here in EU we have a pretty different opinion, about Health for example, but I think that it's time for one of the most influent country on this planet to demonstrate its value, to make a breakthrough giving to such a Selfless man a second chance to bring the Nation back to Glory, in a genuine way for the others to follow its example.



Since I mentioned funny memes and stuff about Obama, I thought I HAD to put one in this post :)

Auditions

It's really bad when it comes to auditions for me, it's the kind of circumstance I hardly stand.

My mind starts to blank, I trip on words and I'm literally paralyzed....basically a disaster!

I actually have auditioned just once in my life, it was an entrance audition for a Musical Theatre course and even though I consider it a good experience, it was just SCARY at that time..!

However, that school admits just 10 students per year and there was about 500 of us at the audition so I didn't got in.

I'm now considering to do it again because my goal is to become an actress or to work in the entertainment industry anyway so I'll have to audition if I want to get into the courses I've choose..

I'm terrified, I have to find a way to face my fears because if I want to reach my goals, auditions will be part of my daily life, any tip fellows artists?

Xmas mood..!

Oh oh oooooh! Less than 2 months 'till Xmas, I'm so excited..can't wait!

I'm definitely starting to buy presents today, I can feel the holiday spirit already :D

Here's a stunning version of Baby it's cold outside sung by Colbie Caillat ft. Gavin Degraw, it really mixes my love for Christmas with my love for summer!

Music..

I think music is kind of magic, not only because it can make you feel this or that way but because if you listen to a song which is related to some determinated feelings it'll bring you back to the moment you were feeling them.

It's awesome that a simple song can so powerfully take you back to time and make you feel the person you were at the moment you associated an emotion to it...MAGIC!

I like to think of it as a way to be young forever, after all youth is first of all a state of mind, how you feel inside and is amazing that you can just keep this state through listening to the right songs..!

Red Bull Stratos

I think the world must have been feeling like me in this moment when the Apollo 11 were launched in the outer space..!!!


Go Felix Baumgartner!

TV shows

I've just spent the last 10 days catching up the whole 5 seasons of Queer as Folk (I was like 7 when the series aired so of course I wasn't allowed to watch such an explicit show. Anyway at the time I didn't even knew it existed) and I'm just..just...full of so many feelings I can't deal with!

I should stop letting all these TV shows break my fangirl's heart..

Anyway, I totally loved the show, the way every character grew up through the seasons an even how it ended in some way.


I just love how actors and all the people involved in the production managed to shoot such uneasy scenes (like explicit sex scenes and so), the work, the passion..just everything!

ALSO, I just discovered that Randy Harrison (who played Justin in QaF) portrayed the character of Boq in my fav Broadway musical EVER Wicked! I never read the names of the cast except for the original one so I was so excited when I found out he was the 2nd Boq when Idina and Kristin were still on the show!

So now I'm also enchanted by the incredible acting/singing/dancing skills of Randy, another reason for admiring him so much!


I really wish I can be part of something like that one day, to really inspire other artists like the ones I admire inspire me..!

Here's a couple of videos of Randy singing!

Inspiration

I just love when I feel so inspired I can't help to stop whatever I'm doing and start to CREATE :)

Does it ever happen to you?

Ideas just come one after another to your mind, they just drag you into this creative mood like a summer storm, an ocean wave you just can't control..!

Oh my Klaine!

Just watched the last ep. of GLEE...Mr Murphy what did you do to my Klaine!?!??

Such an emotional and intense storyline, I couldn't hold my tears..

Hope Mr Murphy will put together the pieces of our fav couples (first of all my Klaine for goodness sake!)

Here's the full breathtaking closing performance of the episode!

Can't wait for the next episode (too bad it airs in something like more than a month)

New Girl on FOX

Just read this tweet..can't wait!

Roots before branches..

I found this incredible pic which made me think of Room for Two's song Roots before branches.

I want to make my Dreams and Hopes' branches grow but I still have to get where my roots are.

Deals

Today I was wondering about how many things you have to deal with in life.
I've just finished high school and I realized that the outer world is just...different and so hard to live in..!
What to do, how to relate with different people, money, expectations, what you want, expectations, money...

Well, you have to figure out how to deal with expectations and money mainly!

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels kind of trapped between these two heavy things.
Your financial situation doesn't always allows you to do what you want and on the other side you have the burden  of expectations of your friends and family on you that may not let you realize what you really want to do.

Personally, I'm just trying to not giving a heck of these "boundaries" and I figured out what I want to do even if I may feel judged and not much understood.

So, you basically have to pick between do what you feel is right for you or give a try to what the people around you think would be good for you (and if these two options match...lucky you!).

What do you think? What would you do?
