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 obsessed 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 believe 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.
