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
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

Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena,
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Alegria
Como la luz de la vida
Alegria
Como un payaso que grita
Alegria
Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Como un asalto de felicidad

Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Como un asalto de felicidad

There is a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous,
Magical feeling

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

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

Tonight - West Side Story

they're amazing! I especially love her voice...audra is awesome!
