Hi! I'm a newbie here in Vox, and the site's another addition to my collection of blogs in the Web. I have accounts in Multiply, Facebook, Blogspot, etc. The reason why I have several blog accounts is that I want to socialise. Yeah, as simple as that. I want to meet new friends, talk to people about everything, about my interests, our shared interests, and the like.

I am from the Philippines. I love everything about the arts, especially the performing arts, but I've never been involved to any business concerning the performing arts (read the reason below why I began to love it), which, of course, I would love to if there's a chance. I love watching such in YouTube. To make it short, I just love everything about performing, But I don't know in the future if I would be a performer. Hehe...

It's nice to be here and to talk my thoughts out loud, again, in a different blog...

Susan Boyle stuns the whole YouTube viewers and possibly the whole world

47 year-old Susan Boyle, who lives alone with her cat named Pebbles, who confessed that she's never been married and never been kissed, from Blackburn, West Lothian in Scotland wows viewers of Britain's Got Talent and the three judges Piers Morgan, Amanda Holden, and Simon Cowell during the audition singing 'I Dreamed a Dream' from the musical Les Miserables.

Susan's sensational and stunning performance caught everyone on the audition off guard on her first note. Prior to the singing, everyone was laughing at her and even the judges sensed that she's another of those "jokes" they've had encountered for the past three years on the show.

A standing ovation from the crowd shied away doubts and Susan made them "rock" as what she's said, judges Piers and Amanda were somewhat teary-eyed, and Simon couldn't hide his surprise. Piers commented that she was the biggest surprise he had for three years on the show and gave "the biggest Yes" he had ever given, Amanda added that it was a privilege listening to her, and Simon ended that she could go home with her head held high.

Hosts Ant and Dec were also stunned, they welcomed her upon exiting the stage and after giving that flying kiss which made the audience love her even more.

What a sensational lady! It was like she already won.The video of the episode uploaded in YouTube already garnered more than 30 million views in just six days! Even Connie Talbot and Paul Potts can't beat that. She already became a Web star. A recording a decade ago from a charity CD was revealed and had also been uploaded in YouTube, it was called 'Cry me a River' (not the one by Justin Timberlake), and it increased her fame even more.

Hope she'll win and be able to be like Elaine Paige!

I Dreamed a Dream

I applied as a writer in Writers.ph particularly a freelance. Sadly, after two days, they responded that my application was turned down. Said my qualification did not matched to the one they were looking for. Haay..., maybe it's not for me. I guess I have to try other job openings.

I graduated last 27 March with a bachelor's degree in Education. I never dreamed of becoming a teacher nor teaching as my profession. You can say I have no choice, but I don't think I don't have a choice then. I could've taken other available courses like IT, Accounting, etc., the problem with these is that I am not interested with them. Now, I am unemployed, a fresh graduate, submitting resumés online. As I've said before applying as a writer.

Writing is one of my interests. More of a passion, actually. I write everything I want to write, I write on my journal, I have several blogs in the Internet (including this one). I have the potential, I can write whatever I want, but I don't know if that's enough to get me employed. I'm having doubts, honestly, but I don't want to be pessimistic. I don't want to think that after four years in college I learned nothing. Of course, I've learned everything I could, everything that the school could offer.

Writing, however, is nothing compared to what I really loved most: theatre and music combined. I began to love it since second year high school. We had this musical play presentation in English class. The group where I belong chose the musical play Oliver! But Oliver!'s not the one that really made me love it. It was the other group's presentation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. First note of the Overture was really spine-chilling, and something told me that I would permanently love this. And the rest is history.

POTO opened the doors and welcomed me to the world of musical theatre. I became obssessed to the point of searching facts about other musicals especially that of Andrew Lloyd Webber's. POTO introduced me to Jesus Christ--Superstar, Les Misérables, Cats, etc. POTO made me appreciate music, sheer talent, drama, dance, performing arts as a whole.

Musical theatre made me discover my interests and my inner self. I belive it has done a lot more that's beyond my knowledge. Maybe it's just waiting to be unleashed. Susan Boyle's audition in Britain's Got Talent heightens my love for the performing arts. She represents hope for those who think they can't achieve what they want, that believing in oneself is most important to get what you want. Who knows? One day the dream within the dream we dreamt would definitely become a reality.
