"I Wonder"

What happens when there is no respect?
Don't you ever wonder when things have changed?
Uncomfortable? Miscommunication? Egoistic?
Among those words are the ones who are ignorant.
Those who aren't among those words are the ones you can be trusted.
What happened to the friendship?
Don't you ever wonder when things become tense?
Is it jealousy?
Is it curiosity?
Is it pity?
Among those words are the ones who have low self-esteem.
Those who aren't among those words are the ones who feel great about them.

"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. People love others not for who they are but for how they make them feel."

If you see a friend without a smile; give them one of yours.
All good things must come to an end, but all bad things can continue forever.
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.

What a day!

What a day! I wondered how we managed through all the things we have all dreading for. Yes, what a day. A very good friend of mine and myself were talking about sonic. Don't I missed it? Yes I do. Sonic food has a great burger and smoothie and so on.. I can't say no more. (lol). Anyhow, I was telling a friend of mine that if there is anything left for me to eat sonic's burger, no- there isn't because it'll be rot by the time it gets here and will be force to eat it as if there is no tomorrow. Funny how things happen when people are doing a cook out. I lie to you not, I looked outside and its pouring out raining. There are people who is doing a cookout BBQ. Sounds good, eh? but it is raining right now.. This weekend were suppose to be a memorial weekend.. I guess not. We'll see how tomorrow goes. :) If God is willing to allow us to have bbq then let it shine for tomorrow.

For the past few weeks, after I graduated. I was relieved and even though I went back to school for few more course to complete. Touring Live Performance is what I am currently taking and I enjoyed it so far. I have been thinking so many things about what I can do now. I also have thought a lot of theater work such as touring assistant, marketing assistant, or anything that I could do for assistant. I also applied for Trump's new building. It wont be open anytime soon but its always nice to put out my resume out there.

Honestly, I've been struggling to get myself ahead with work because I realized that IF I want to work and there is an opportunity for me that I could do as my side job. I tend to worry about the other opporunity because currently my agent mentioned to me that there are two prints that he sent out and he hasn't got any call backs yet. I wouldn't want to lose any opporunity I could get my hands on. what kind of choice is that? Well, its the choice I have to make in order to make my ends meet.

As for my friends, I want to thank you for reading my blogs and I know it may sounds dull to you but as of right now, I am going to see a performance where my boyfriend is in it. I am exciting to see the show and am so proud of him.

In that case, I was told by one of the director at MSSD (Model Secondary School for the Deaf), Ms. Yola.. She's trying to see if the Pentimento Dance Company could perform here in Chicago at my school, Columbia College Chicago. I will be so happy to have it performed here. It'll be great and everyone will get the chance to see our skills in dance. That would be great. It may happen in 2009 and I know it is a long way to go. But if you think about it, it is just around the corner. Time will come and go and it'll get here sooner than you think.

Thank to you all for the great support and patient. I still waiting for more photos and hope to get a digital camera where I can install all the great photos into this site.

Wish you all well,
Regina

Dreading for Summer school and jobs search

When will I ever stop attending school, eh? Sighing, since I graduated on May 12th but technicially I still have 2 class to complete plus thesis. It is no fun to me at all but in the long run, It'll be alright. :) I'll be taking Touring Live Performance and heard this class is so much fun. I trust my friends that they enjoyed it and I know that I will enjoy the class. :) Other than dreading to go back to school for this class, I've been trying to work on my thesis project. I felt so tired because I should have done with this already but I know there is more that I'll need to add in it.

Even though I have class for Touring Live Performance for tomorrow, I also will have a job interview with the Real Estate Investor at 7pm. I had to figure out what should I do because they have been trying to get me for an interview. Other than that, I am also applying for internship program with Goodman Theater as General Management Position. It is only for a part time job. It is also nice to know they do give out a stipend even it is not much. Goodman Theater would be a great place to start for me. We'll see how it goes eventually.

Right now at this moment, I realized that I am "done" with school and it feels nice. However, I am wondering what will I do next? The next step would be job search, get a headstart with the thesis project and dance class. I know there was a time I felt like, I want to rush and get out of school immediately but at the same time I realized that I don't want to rush anything. I cherished everything that the school has taught me. I appreciated all of my professor who had to put up with me or enjoys having me in their class, I want to take that moment and share it with everyone. I even share it with my family and my love ones. It is amazing how their eyes light up when I said such a wonderful things about them and how much I've learned during those two years at the Columbia College Chicago. I cherished every moment I have with them.

Thank you all for reading my blogspot and those who enjoys reading it, please post a comment and would love to hear it from you guys.

Many thanks,
Regina

Hello everyone

Hello Everyone,

Here I am in chicago, waiting for the reality to seek in and it sure did. :)

Keep in touch.

Graduation!!!

I am amazed that the semester had gone by so fast. I realized that during the year I was struggle and frustrated with school situation such as homework, midterms, finals and preparing for the real world. Basically, I have learned that everything happen for a reason. I am blessed that I have found friends that has the similar goals and ambition as I have. I also realized that I am not alone in this world.

Friends, Family and Love Ones----I thank you each day for being supportive and patient with me throughout the year I was at the Columbia College Chicago. I would not be able to get through this without you all. :)

On May 11th, my sister and I communicated with each other before her departing to Chicago at MDW (Midway Airport which is 30 min away from my home). It was funny how my sister was telling me, I'm on my way to the airport and dad is on his way to the airport also. I was like, what??? no way.. i thought dad was supposed to fly in the next day. Oops. But luckily for my sister she reminded me. So I drove to pick up my sister and waited around until its time to pick up my dad. Unfortunately, during my father's arrival at 3pm, there was a major event going on on Irving Park which is Cubs baseball fans. I figured that I would go through the shortcut to get to the ORD (Ohare Airport which is 45 min away) but there was a traffic plus the tour bus was parking on Irving Park. I didn't know what else to do but go through there. My sister was talking to our father through her sidekick pager because my pager was disconnect. I didn't want to go another way to get my dad because I knew it will be painful to search for another way around because I am still not familiar with the area anyways. Even our father's flight arrived at 3ish in the evening and we arrived there at the ORD but got lost again. We managed to find our way through but we arrived there at the location where our father stood at 530pm. Yes, he waited that long. However, everything ends well. We hung out at Ruby Tuesday because we all was hungry.

Anyhow- a friend of mine, Lacey sent me a photo of us at the graduation. I know I need to add more photos on the site but I don't have a digital camera. If I had a digital camera, I would post as many as I can on the website. But I got one so far. smile. There will be more photos coming soon. Bare with me. I'll try my best to keep up with the blog spot. Thanks to Ines who has been a good and true friend to me throughout the year at the Columbia College Chicago. She influenced me to start the Blog spot and I enjoyed it.

:)

Much love,

Regina
