I made it through to the top 40 for Triple Sensation.  This means I audition for the top musical theatre directors in Canada, as well as Garth Drabinsky, in the next three days.  And I get to stay in Vancouver instead of being at school.  Eeeeeeeeepp ( Read more... )

And today I arrive home to find I have a real kitty!  Coincidence?  I think not.

My kitty is blue and adorable.  And he needs a name.  My brother and I wanted to name him Killer, but my parents were strongly opposed to that one.  Suggestions?  I need an adorably cute name for an adorably cute kitty.  Or just a really cool name.

Last night I had my first professional solo gig - a lounge act for a private dinner party for Rogers' Chocolates in the Empress Hotel.  It was amazing.  I got a chance to wear a hot red dress and do my hair and makeup, and I sang a whole bunch of jazz standards.  And I got this absolutely amazing dinner, and so much chocolate!  But the best part of ( Read more... )

And my immune system to go.  I just had my mock audition for school today; basically we audition for a panel of faculty members and guest directors from professional companies and we get evaluated (although it's not part of our final mark).  Mine seemed to go well, all things considered.  But now that the audition is done, my body feels like it's ( Read more... )

In the last two days I've had ballet, tap, and jazz, and my muscles are so sore it's a miracle I can get up and down stairs.  It was a chorus-full of groans and yelps of pain as we moved from class to class today.  But aside from the sheer exhaustion and aching body, it's been a good day.  I'm getting a pass to the local gym, and I'm getting ( Read more... )

More fun Wikipedia facts...did you know that this song is well-known in the Philippines and is sung not only at New Year's, but also at important events like graduation ceremonies and on Christmas Day?

And a little bit of Wonderful Life happiness, complete with Auld Lang Syne ending.

Happy New Year everyone!!  Hope to see you lots this year :)

I was at church on Christmas morning singing in the choir and doing the usual solos, and my favourite moment of the day was in the sermon from my favourite (read: not so favourite) priest, in his most patronizing voice possible:

"Let's be realistic...for most of us, how many more Christmases do we have left? (dramatic pause) Huh? (glares at the ( Read more... )

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, ( Read more... )

It's all in CCPA.  I'm downstairs in the student lounge, and suddenly I realize that I have a Physical Theatre presentation I have to put on.  All by myself.  I'm freaking out because I'm terrible at Physical Theatre and have nothing good to do, and I'm not even entirely sure what the story is.  So I'm trying to get the script for the story that I' ( Read more... )
