Age difference
Monday, December 23, 2013 @ 11:09 PM

I've been spending a lot of time with kids that I have started to feel awkward around groups of people my age.

When I am around kids, there's this certain level of respect they are obliged to give because of the age difference. But when I am around people my age, all types of respect and trust has to be earned from the very first meeting, or even prior to that. Kids genuinely like you for your character, and won't judge you for your looks. Adolescence, well, majority of them look at looks (don't deny that! Some of you do! Actually so do I but I still are friends with people based on their character, of course)

Okay awkward is an overstatement for me because I can be friends with virtually everyone, but sometimes, you know you just can't get the vibes going?

Though regardless of age, you should be nice to everyone. Even if they were mean to you, because you can't fight violence, you fight violence with compassion. Yeah, compassion.

Okay that was a totally unrelated ending BUT I AM ALL OUT OF WORDS hehe k bye

And it's a wrap!

Nerve wrecking, there was a gush of so many emotions at one go - fear, excitement, believe - amongst others

Who knew that I would feel what felt? 
Who had suspected that I was capable of feeling extreme relief and pride to the point my heart wavered?
Who ever would have thought that I actually could tear up out of utter happiness?

No one did, not even myself. But I did.

In 5 days, 
I wrote a script
Did several voice workouts
Had a script read
Assigned the roles
Did script reading with specific actors
Improved the scenes gradually
Had them begin acting
Reassigned the roles
And 
Had the play carried out

All of that in 5 days and with 16 children, most of them who could hardly sit still.

Yes, it is something I am very proud of, because this is a milestone. Through all the stress and the relentless need for the children to pay attention to me (which only works when I threaten to take out their roles), I actually did it. With the help of one of my colleagues regarding the initial concept of the script, and another one who assisted in maintaining order in the class, I actually did it. It is an accomplishment, so frightening and thrilling, that at the end if it all, I trembled out of sheer joy. 

Okay maybe I am exaggerating what I felt to some extent, but that feeling was extremely new and raw to me that I felt a need to put it into flamboyant words so that I can remember what it felt like.

I want to feel that again. The achievement of accomplishing something so great, to the point you keep thinking 'wow I can't believe this is what it really looks like'

Through all the stumbles and fumbles, it still looked perfect to me. Thank you life, for giving me this chance to know that I am capable in doing even greater things.

And thank you kids, for doing an amazing job, I am so proud of you all :')

I never forget (Part 1)
Wednesday, December 11, 2013 @ 1:58 AM

I remembered the way your hair flopped
and the way you pushed it back
how I giggled because
damn you look good with that hair

Your eyelashes were thick
they lined the curves of your eyes
accentuated the shape of your eyes
that I adored looking into

That one day
we were going up the escalator
and it was sunset

The sun shone right against your back
while you were facing me
And then the thought struck me
'wow you're so handsome'
because even by your silhouette
I could see your eyes sparkle
