1. I am not a dancer but let's just say it happens that I just know how to dance.
Ever since elementary, I am always part of the school's program during events; I dance and make giling giling all the way. Haha I don't have the real confidence but I quite have the skills chos lang eh kasi the teachers would always pick me along with my friends sorryyyyy :p I have danced to the tunes of Nobody (Wonder Girls), Bulaklak (Viva Hot Babes) HAHAHA yes your laughter is acceptable. I've also tried doing cheerdancing when I was in a junior. :p

This was a dance video during intrams, 2010. It was a joined performance of selected students from first year to fourth year. We weren't allowed to do cheering competition that time for unknown reasons so we did some hip hoppin'. Find me and my chubby chubby chubby self! Hahaha
But I don't want to take dancing as serious and so I left it in high school.
2. I am not good in acting but I have done theatre and is still part of it.
I am a member of Binan Youth Performance Council as of today (but we were on hiatus since we are all busy I miss the theater people and the theatre doings huhu). I think I have already posted a story of how I ended up doing some acting in theatre but let me tell you a brief story; I was in 3rd year high school when my Social teacher who was a Theatre Arts major graduate in UP asked me to join his play because I fit the role of a chubby girl and I asked my mother and she said yes so I said yes.

Doing theatre gave me a lot of learning experiences and a new knowledge. It was very tiring but very fun! I remember when I joined AKNTIS play - I had to skip class, go home really late and wake up early in the morning just to go to school and repeat because we have rehearsals at night. I think theatre is really pure dedication. Ahh, I miss!!
3. I am not a singer nor good in singing but I had sang at the back of many people.
Yes. At the back. Because I had once been part of a choir org in our community. Can you believe it??! Haha It was an accidental move way back. I was really just accompanying my sister during one choir rehearsal when the conductor talked to me and asked me to join. Sabi naman nya kasi, "Hindi mo naman kailangan ng magandang boses sa choir. Kailangan mo lang dedication to serve to the Lord and to the church." I want to serve! So the next rehearsal, aba kumakanta na ako! Hahaha
It lasted for years. I had been busy at college my schedule doesn't fit their rehearsal schedule at ayoko naman umattend ng mass to sing without going and showing my face at rehearsals, nakakahiya yun. Oh well, I guess that's it. It had been fun and I gained a lot of peers and friends! Maybe next time I'll be back. :)
And because I have things I proudly did and doing, I have a list of things I want to do:
1. Shoot and make my own short film!
As being the frustrated film director that I am, I am dreaming of doing a short film where I directed and produced! Yes pati pagging producer claim ko na! :p Why not right?
2. Have my own photo portfolio.
And since I am also a frustrated photographer, I am also dreaming of having my own photo blog all about the artsy photos I took on travels or anything that I'll find fancy. Or maybe a collection of portraits of candid people or studios shots!
This is why I am quite excited for our finals in Advertising Photography! We are required to print out our own portfolio! Yey!
3. Publish my own book and call myself as a legit witer!
I have been been eye-ing on doing a book about a collection of short stories with photos. It is big as I dream to be so medyo alanganin pa talaga sya as of today but soon!!! I hope soon maybe before I turn 25 I had already done this!
And as of today these are just few things! Madadagdagan pa 'to, I'm pretty sure and I am so stoked already with the thought of it! What are YOUR list of things you did and wanted to do?? :)
