Finally!
Yes, I know. I have been dead to the world since, well, a month ago? Yeah, well, my lappie died on me (500++ viruses, come on), I have had semestral exams to freak out over (with several stress-induced zits making guest appearances), and only recently have added a DramaTec production to my to-do list. Whee.
So! My point is, I'm back, so put down that parang! (Yeah babes, I'm talking to you...) I'm sorry I've been away for long, but at least this post should be long enough to tide y'all through the next dry spell that might hit this blog.
You wanna know what I've been doing in my boring, boring life? Fine, I'll tell you. *Reluctant*
NAH JUST KIDDING TROLOLOLOLOL.
-Semestral Exams and Results
-Boy Problems (come on, what else is new?)
-DramaTec production(s) and casting
.....
Alright, here we go!
Semestral Exams
We had three written papers: Media and Society, Essential Graphic Software, and Marketing. Please keep in mind that these are the full names of the subjects. I usually prefer to call them MedSoc, EssGra and Marketing respectively because I'm lazy as hell. Heh.
I thought the MedSoc paper was pretty bad, but the Marketing and EssGra papers weren't too bad, I guess...... But what can I say? Let the results speak for me lol.
Marketing - B+
Journalism - B+
Media and Society - C+
Essential Graphic Software - C+
Graphic Design Fundamentals - C
GPA - 2.76
I could die. 2.76 for a GPA?! What lousy grade is that?!!! All around me, I had people saying, "Oh, I got 3+ for my GPA, I'm so disappointed." Listening to that just made me want to cry. I mean, if your GPA of 3+ is lousy, what's mine supposed to be? The end of the world? I have to say, it sure feels like that. Sigh. What made me feel slightly better was that there were quite a number of people in CMM who scored pretty dismally too. But I know, it's mean to think of stuff like that..... You know what made me feel even worse? I pride myself on my linguistic and writing skills, and here I am with a B+ for Journalism. And my guy friend got an A, and rubbed the metaphorical salt into my metaphorical wound by telling me that scoring an A for Journalism was actually quite easy. I was lucky I was only texting him and not talking to him face-to-face, or I might have done something drastic. Like run away from him crying or shoving his iPhone down his throat. Something like that. Sigh!
But no use dwelling on the results. I'm gonna work even harder next semester, and aim for a 3.26! I know I'm not exactly the model student type, but I'll do my best!
Boy Problems
As we all know, I am boy-crazy. I myself will admit to that. But I feel like the whole liking-a-guy thing is getting more confusing than I'd like it to be. I don't know how I feel about 'Edward', even now, because he graduated from NAS before I could do anything about my crush on him. Are my feelings for him completely gone? Or just dormant? I don't know. And I had mentioned before that I'd had the beginnings of a crush on "Alex", this cute Malay guy in DramaTec, but those feelings have been squished because it's blatantly obvious that he's not boyfriend material, and I don't think I ever really saw him in that light. It was just attraction is all ;)
And now I think I'm attracted to "James", this other guy in DramaTec. God, I'm incorrigible aren't I? {exasperated with myself} I have no idea what he thinks about me. We laugh, joke around, and have fun during drama, and I feel like we have pretty good chemistry while acting, but I really need to stop myself before I think too much. AGAIN.

Anyway. Oh, we had casting last Monday and yesterday for our upcoming productions, two plays titled "Bittersweet" and "Forgiving You".
"Bittersweet" is about Jessica, a Chinese girl who is in a relationship with Riyan, a Malay guy, and they obviously face many problems from their respective families. The play explores how they try to cope with all the problems that they face, but unfortunately, the whole thing ends with them breaking up. It's kind of like a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, to tell the truth.
"Forgiving You" is a play that shows Aaliyah, a young woman whose father is dying, but she refuses to see him due to the emotional hurt that he had caused her in her childhood. The play goes through her memories and how she tries to deal with her confusion and hate, and how she eventually finds the strength to forgive her father.
I had auditioned for Aaliyah's role in "Forgiving You" and the role of Jessica's mother in "Bittersweet", since I didn't envision myself playing Jessica. However, I felt like I could relate to Aaliyah and her situation, somewhat at least. However, my seniors pulled me up to try out Jessica's role, and they actually kept me there while they switched characters around in different scenes. I actually felt like I hadn't done a very good job portraying Jessica's character, but apparantly the seniors felt I was good enough, because I GOT THE ROLE!!! When they announced the casting results I was like HOUMAGAWD WHAT THE MARSHMALLOW I GOT THE LEAD ROLE?!!! HOLY MOTHER OF MARSHMALLOW!!!!!
And you know what else? "Alex" is playing Riyan. Three months ago, I would have been blushing like nobody's business, but right now, I think I'm alright. We're friends, and act retarded sometimes, and well, he feels like some cousin to me now. Oh, "James" is acting as Jessica's father. Geez, is this some sick joke or something? I really don't know how I feel about him! Maybe it's just attraction, but still...... I hope I'll be able to handle it and have fun at the same time!!! His acting is pretty good, haha! I think I react very easily, because the entire time we were reading the script, I kept turning to react to the other characters. Gaaaaah! Maybe it's good, but still, I felt like I was overdoing things.... Ulp.
Attending practice and giving my all to Jessica's character should be fine at the moment, seeing as it's still the holidays for us poly peeps, but once school starts on 24 October, I'll have to juggle my subjects and stick to my semestral goal of getting a GPA of 3.26..... Let's hope I'll be able to do it! {determined}
So! My point is, I'm back, so put down that parang! (Yeah babes, I'm talking to you...) I'm sorry I've been away for long, but at least this post should be long enough to tide y'all through the next dry spell that might hit this blog.
