A New Beginning

Last weekend is a totally great experience for me although it was quite tiring. What exactly happened during the weekend? Well, it all started with Ginel's status message looking for ushers for a christian concert. I asked her what it was all about and then found out that it would be a 5-hour a day racket/stint for 2 days only wherein I would be paid 350php per day. Not bad, but considering the effort (since it is in Ortigas and it would end 9pm) I really need somebody to come with me. So I asked friends, and Christine was the one to agree (together with Alex).

We did not realize until the day that it was really a large concert, and the artists were foreign performers. The concert was actually a musical interpretation of Joseph the Dreamer. I was a very big fan of this play when I was still a kid. We had a casette tape version of it and I was really fond of listening to it, I even memorized every line -- songs and scripts alike! Hence, I was so fascinated that it was the concert to which we would be ushering in. It was like hitting two birds with one stone, being paid for the job and being able to watch without paying! Hehe.

The theme of the concert was A New Beginning, changing lives for the better because of God's plans. In retrospect, I could say that this opportunity marks a new beginning in my life. It made me think in hindsight of my younger days, when I was still in grade school and enjoying my life through theater and dance. I was able to reflect on the things I really want, the dreams I'd like to pursue. This event made me realize that I had so many frustrations that I would really want to continue if I'd be given a chance. I still want to become a singer or a theater actress. I missed the stage and the spotlight. Although not all of my friends knew about this hidden talent of mine. Haha. I stopped being active at this area when I was in high school, but I wish I had not.

I was also particularly inspired by the job that the organizers of the event (Becca Music, Inc.) do. I kept on saying before that I want to be an events organizer but I really haven't had a chance to be involved in one. But through this I finally got an idea on what they do, and it made me dream more of becoming part of one. I see that this is a really tiring job, considering all the preparations they make in organizing just one night of a concert. But I really observe how creative all of them are, with their flawless outputs and all. I really want to be one of them in the future -- as a part of the creative team or the general organizer. I could say that being in Publicom has made me more in tune with my creative/artistic side, and perhaps that strengthened more my appreciation of anything aesthetically pleasing.

But of course, I could not leave what I have studied for so hard these past four years. I really want to make use of the skills and knowledge that I've got from studying Psychology. Hence, I'd like to enter the world of research. But what I was just trying to say is that, I want a venue for my creativity. I know that I have much talent to show and that I would not want to waste them and put them to nothing. Perhaps, I'd have a primary or full-time job as a researcher and still pursue my hobbies on the side or apply for a part-time job that would expose my creative abilities. I just wish that soon I'd be able to do things that I am really passionate about and when that time comes, nobody and nothing can stop me from achieving my dreams.
