Last Friday, I auditioned for two goals this year: be a member of Dulaang Pinoy and be a Theresian Magazine staffer. Acting and writing. Two of my best talents. Supposedly, the DP auditions was last Wednesday, but at the last minute they cancelled it and moved it to Friday. It added more pressure since both auditions were held at the same day, same time.

I asked my Filipino teacher if I can go first, since the Theresian Mag screenings will be 20 minutes after the DP audition starts (TM is at 3:30). She agreed. At lunch time on the screening day, all those who will try out picked their piece so they can prepare for it. Guess what I chose? Kinda embarrassing to post here. Just a clue: you’re stuck in traffic and your tummy rumbles. Get it?

At 3:10, I lined up at the IV-4 classroom for the DP auditions. I did my piece for 30 seconds, then one of the teachers thanked me. No, it doesn’t necessarily mean I didn’t pass. So after that, I headed straight to IV-2 and all those trying out to be writers were there already. I sat down in a vacant seat and got a piece of intermediate pad.

I looked at the board: deadline for submission is at 5:30 pm. Answer the question “What makes you different from all those who auditioned?”. Create a write-up on the A(H1N1) virus and its relevance to STC. Make a literary piece on either simplicity or environment. I made my poem on simplicity. As for the question what makes me unique, I wrote that I am a believer, determined, and an individual. My title for the news article was “STC vs. Swine Flu: The War Begins”. When I submitted my piece to the editors at around 4:45 PM, I was nervous.

I think the results will be in this week. I’m praying to God that I will get these opportunities.

BTW, I heard that Candy Council of Cool is hiring new members once again. I’m going to give a second shot. I just hope I make it this time. And now, I’m treating myself to a new Jake pic.
