Well, what can I say? I had the audition less than a week ago, last wednesday and today I've received the call-back...
I'm in!!!!!
This Wednesday I will enroll and ufficially be a first year student of the Musical Theatre Academy! I'm so excited! I want to learn as much as I can, I want to live every moment, to share all this feelings with all the people out there!
I'm so thankful...I would love to thank God above and the entire world for giving me such an opportunity but all I can do now is promise that I will do my best and I will never give it up!

Compliments
While preparing some kebab at the fast food, tonight...
boss: "..."
me: " ...?"
boss: "..uhm..."
me: " yes? there's something wrong? "
boss: " you're taking it too easily, why don't you sing and whistle in the meantime?"
me: " really? you want me to sing? *_* "
boss: " ... keep doing your job, quick!"
me: " oh, ok! ^_^ "
What happens when all you can think of is singing out loud, to free your soul in the only way you know, to communicate to others in your own special way, to whistle a tune that seems stuck into your mind?
Well, you want to sing even when you're cooking and lots of people is waiting for the orders behind you :P
But I did not sing tonight, or at least I did not do it in front of the costumers... but after midnight, I was cleaning up the kitchen and I sang a little, just to distract myself from the pain I felt in my feet ( to stand for almost 6 hours would kill anyone, I assure you) and when I got out of the place a man sitting outside with his wife, my boss and another friend, told me I had a good voice.
My cheeks turnes red, for I didn't know they were actually listening...I said " Thank you" and then be gone as fast as Speedy Gonzales, straight to my car!
I'm not used to compliments, I will never be, I think, but I Am grateful :)
Now I am tired, another day is over ( or at least it seems..) so I'm going to sleep.
Good night!

Flying without wings - Westlife
Today I woke up ( without really sleeping, for I was at work yesterday night till 2.am so I'm still sleepy and tired but I could not really lay on my bed anymore, so here I am) with this tune on my mind...it is a beautiful song, its words keep touching me every time, even now...
So impossible
as they may seem
you've got to fight for every dream
'cause who's to know
which one you let go
would have made you complete?
I cannot give up any of my dreams, for I don't want to live the rest of my life in regret...It'll be hard, but as long as I have faith, two hands to work and a strong will to make it, I will try!
I dedicate this song to anyone who has found a reason to live for, and to those who haven't found it yet I say : don't give up!
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you found that special thing
You're flying without wings
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
You find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
So impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
'Cause who's to know
Which one you let go
Would have made you complete
Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
'Cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings
And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings
So impossible
as they may seem
you've got to fight for every dream
'cause who's to know
which one you let go
would have made you complete?
I cannot give up any of my dreams, for I don't want to live the rest of my life in regret...It'll be hard, but as long as I have faith, two hands to work and a strong will to make it, I will try!

First audition!
Hello! Long time no posting, so I guess I will write a lot ( but I hope not to bother you :P ) I had my audition on Wednesday, and it was truly the best of times :D
I forgot to tell that I have some kind of virus disturbing my stomach since Monday, so that day I decided not to drink and not to eat to prevent being sick during the audition...why did I do that? The audition was at 11.00 am so I thought it mught have been a good idea to be there at 10, but here's the disaster: the professors were all late due to traffic, so at 12 am we were still waiting...
I had the chance to meet a lot of amazing people, and to chat with them while sitting in the waiting room : three guys were absolutely lovely ( one could imitate Pip from enchanted and I swear, he was totally him! hehehe!) and the secretary was kind and patient with me.
I was nervous as always ( it happens to me, especially before and during an exam) but at the same time I felt all excited, as if it was a chance I could not lose, something life-changing, so when I finally came in my first thought was " I want to be perfect" but suddendly I realised that I'm not( not at all! :P) so when I sat and they asked me to talk about myself, I really did: I was myself, hyperactive, logorrohyc, enthusiast and dreamy, talking nonsense about my ambitions, my passions, my everything and then they asked me to sing, but not just sing...to play the role while singing!
The song was Popular, from Wicked, not my favorite song at all, but one of the cutest I know and when I chose that song I thought I would have had fun playing Glinda and trying to be someone that is totally opposite to me :D
I sang putting everything to it, acting silly and funny, or at least I tried, giving it 150% of myself, and I don't know, I think I did if fine 'coz at the end of the music, they didn't asked me for my monologue or even to dance for them. I hope it is a good sign.
We chatted a little more and then I left.
" We'll let you know" they said, " Next!"
At least I had the chance to sing, to be myself and to meet people who shares my same interest and passions.
I hope they'll take me, if not I will keep going on and try my best! I don't know when, I don't know how but someday I will sing on broadway!!! ( or London, or wherever there are musicals on stage! :D )
Ps: I had 30 for the second time! It means that I am a genius and that someone up above loves me! *_*

You work too much!
" You work too much, you do too many things and you're hyperactive...it's not good!"
Have you ever been scolded for doing your job , and trying your best to do it? Well, it happened to me just an hour ago! :D My boss told me I'm too smart for this job, I am quick and my work satisfy him..you may ask, what's the matter? He said I am hyperactive ( what a news :P ) and I should give myself time to rest for I make him feel useless in his own Fast- food. This doesn't seem to affect my co-worker who is a nice lady and my boss' wife!
He said I have nothing to prove to anybody there, so why all that effort ?
Now, it was not my intention to make others feel small compared to me, i was just doing my job as I think it should be done...why he can't believe I just want to have my job well done? and why they can't accept the idea I just want to be helpful to my co-workers?
I will have no extra salary for extra work, I know, but I really don't know how to do my job in a different way without feeling useless myself : maybe the only person I have to prove something to is me.
However, I respect what he said and next time I will take my time and do as my boss asked...
ps: I didn't go to my audition saturday,I just found out it was for kids from 13 years old and the school only had 3 subjects..it was not what I was looking for, that's it!
Can't wait for Wednesday!!!

Highest mark!!!
I did it! I got 30 ( out of 30!), the highest mark of all, and also the highest mark among the students that tried it that day! I'm so excited! It is just an exam, I know, but it is a little gratification for all those weeks spent on my books ( while not working, of course :P )
Hope I did the other exam as well as this one!

Just back from work...
What do you call running through a storm ( a real one, with rain, thunders- which I'm dramatically afraid of -and lots of water inundate the street as you walk ) to get to work at 7 pm, serve people till 1 am, clean up everything before closing time and all of this for 15 euros? ( almost 23 dollars, I presume)
Well, this is what I call " my life so far".
I'm not complaining, though.
I earn money to pay my voice lessons ( the next is gonna be this Wednesday! oh, I can't wait!)
I'm just a little tired, but I can make it!
Sometimes I think of all the things I can do and I believe I'd be able to make a living anywhere! When I think of what I would like to do, instead, I cannot help thinking that the better places for me to go are New York or London, but I must be patient and not haste, for I'm not ready yet.
Time will come...In the meantime I will do my best with the things I'm involved in : first of all, I want to get my degree!;-)
Anyway, I'm just back from work...It's 2 am here and tomorrow I'll have to get up at 7 in order to be at work again at 8.
What more to say? My auditions will be on Saturday and on next Thursday and I'm completely frightened...but these are my great chances, I'm not gonna let anything or anyone stop me :D
I did my english exams last Tuesday and Thursday and I'm waiting for the results to be published. If I did it well, the oral exam's gonna be in October...I guess I will have to start opening my books and take a look at the program!
But not now, now it's time to sleep, so I kiss you good night and sweet dreams everybody!

Alegria
This is a song I learnt to love while watching the Cirque du Soleil dvd of the show called " Alegria".
It has a beautiful, multilanguage lyrics and the singer is just spectacular!
Here's the song
the lyrics
Alegria
Come un lampo di vita
Alegria
Come un pazzo gridare
Alegria
Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena,
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia
Alegria
I see a spark of life shining
Alegria
I hear a young minstrel sing
Alegria
Beautiful roaring scream
Of joy and sorrow,
So extreme
There is a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous,
Magical feeling
Alegria

What to do?
Today I received another call from another musical academy here where I live...my audition will be on September 20th...I think I will go and give it a try...but then?
I want to be optimistic ( or to believe in magic, miracles, whatever) : What if both the academy tell me I'm good enough to enroll? what am I gonna do? I'm not good at saying " No" or refusing opportunities, but it never happened to me to have not just one but two great chances at the same time, all of a sudden...
I don't know...

Tips!
Tonight I received my first tip at the fast-food!
Well, sometimes certain costumers would leave 10, 20 cents on the table, but I always put the coins in the cash..tonight this guy went straight to me and gave me 60 Euro Cents!
Now, Italy is not America, you are not forced to leave tips to the waiter or the waitress ( not in a fast food for sure!) for they usually receive a salary...so it was so nice when he handed me the coins and said " thanks" with such a satisfied expression I just smiled back at him! My boss told me it is not a great deal after all, but those 60 cents make me smile: I did a good job, first of all, and, if you convert the money, it's like he gave me a dollar! :P

Windmills of your mind
I've heard this song today sung by the artists of the pinoy Tv show Asap 2008...it is a beautiful song I really didn't know, which has a wonderful lyrics...here it is:
Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel thats turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of her hair
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel

Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping

My first audition!
Ok, I know I'm not a child anymore, but yesterday I recieved the call back from the Musical Theatre Academy and I'm so excited!
I will audition at the school and If I'm good enough I will enroll as a student at the first year...my first step to the long, difficult road to success! muhahahahaha!
Well, I'm not truly interested in success and fame...or, at least, I would not care if I'm not recognized by the moltitude out there ( if I were, I would have decided to be a cinema star, don't you agree? :P ) But I know it's all connected, so go for it...
I just want to live new and different lives, giving my voice to the characters I'm playing...maybe because there are so many things I would like to do in my life, so many things I would like to be...I I want to be everything! Lol! And being a performer would give me the chance to do so!
Anyway, I don't know what's gonna happen from now on, but September 24th will be a date to remember : I'm ready to take my chances! :D
