Shrek the Musical

What a blast! I had the best time with my sister, bro-in-law and friend during Shrek, The Musical. From start to finish, the four of us could not contain ourselves. It brought back moments of the original animation especially since most of the dialogue was taken from the movie itself. We got every punch line and every 'suggestive' note. Haha. 

The best moment was hearing the guy who played Lord Farquaad say 'KUDA KAYU! KUDA KEEPAANG!" as he 'rolled' out from the side stage on his trustee steed. Very animated, a good laugh and the songs were pretty cool. Oh and the drummer was uh-mazing. Didn't get to see the orchestra play but the drummer was fantastic in his short solo at the end of the musical. (I'm hoping it's a guy and not a girl drummer or else my whole perception of a cool drummer guy would just fly out the window! lol)

Anyway, it was a fantastic time with loved ones but by the end we were so tired out. It had been such a long day and I totally crashed in the car. I kept snoozing the alarm this morning because my body just refused to get out of bed but I managed to drag myself out after all. It was worth it after all. :)

A Mad Week and A New Beginning

The week has been such a long one. From good news to bad news to mind boggling news. I can probably say its been the worst. From low performance at work to having to make drastic decisions and making a stand for my beliefs. Yet, in all this madness, at the end of the day I feel a sense of calmness. I guess it's just God working his wonders in my time of need.

I don't know what I'd do if not for Him - probably make the worst decisions ever and live to regret it later. I owe Him for saving me even before making those poor decisions. Speaking of which, I guess it's about time to move. I've been given a wake up call and now I need to move from my current stay to a new place. I don't know how I'm going to cope. For the longest time I've hated shifting from place to place.

I moved houses a bit as a child and I never liked the first few weeks at a new place. It always took time to get used to a new environment. I guess that's something that never changed about me. You'd think that things like these get better over time but nope...it's always the same. I guess I like the idea of having my place and knowing that I'm going to make it my own but here I go again; packing up and leaving. I just hope that this move will turn out to be a good thing. I mean I know it will, it's just that I dread the first few weeks of it. 

On a brighter note, I am thankful for the sound advice of friends and family who helped me in sorting out this whole move situation.

A Thought XIII

I am the precursor of my own destiny. I pave my way to a future I dream with the tools life give me.

Things To Do Before I Snooze Eternally

As obvious as the title suggests, I have made a list of things I would love to do before I die. I have been putting off on this for a while now; perhaps out of fear that if I do write it down, then I will have to reach for it and if I don't I would be sorely disappointed with myself. (like I need more reasons to be blue)

So, here's to the unknown future and in hopes that my list gets shorter as I get older.

C's Twenty To Do List (Not in any particular order)
1. Sing Celine Dion's power ballads before I loose my voice. (1 down!)
