The Love of Performing
Saturday, May 31st, 2008I just returned from a theatre production of Little Women, the classic written by Louisa M. Alcott. It was staged by a group of amateur actors (amateur in terms of doing it for free, not amateurish) from The Stage Club. It was a well done production, full of funny moments and good acting. The script [...]

Great news!
Friday, May 16th, 2008Another unexpected blessing. I’ve gotten a pay raise! A sizable one at that! So sudden!
My boss unexpectedly called me into her room (and my mind went crazy with imagination, thinking she was mad at me, going to scold me, etc.) and then asked me what my current pay was. (At this point, I freaked [...]
Fun to Boring
Monday, May 5th, 2008It’s been one year since I graduated from college. Time has flew by once again. Now I can’t say I’m a fresh graduate and cling to the concept of still being fun and young. Now I’m a working adult who has become boring and sedate. lol. Such a stark change. Where I once would go [...]
