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!

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!

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?

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?
