Son cosas que no sé cómo tomar...

Lo frustrante de la vida es que, muchas veces, las cosas no salen como esperas que salgan. Y que, a veces, no sabes si eso es bueno o malo.

He escrito y contado hasta el cansancio (de la gente que me escucha) todas las cosas que me han dicho sobre mi trabajo como estudiante de actuación y de doblaje de voz. En todas y cada una de esas ocasiones he hecho evidente mi sorpresa por sus reacciones, por la forma en que se expresan de lo que hago.

Lo más sorprendente de todo es que no sólo se ha limitado a este tipo de cosas. También hablan de mí...de lo que soy, de cómo me comporto, de cómo soy con ellos, de lo que sé, de lo que hablo, de lo que comparto con ellos, mi forma de ser. Y es curioso ver que la gente también se sorprende, se anima, se emociona con eso. O se admira y se motiva.

La semana pasada, durante la celebración del cumpleaños de Lulú, mis compañeros de clase me dijeron cosas:

"Eres muy buena. Diste unos tonos bien chidos hoy."
"¿Quién?"
"Ella. Es muy buena..."
"Ah, sí, ella es muy buena"
"Tú ya vas para máster"
"Ya deberías estar en máster"...

Y luego:

"Es que lo hiciste tan rápido y ya ibas a ritmo y la otra persona era quien se equivocaba. Y tú no lo perdías..."

Y de veras que sí me lo creo. Creo que soy buena, creo que hago un buen trabajo y lo creo porque realmente me esfuerzo por hacer algo que valga la pena y creo que da frutos. 

Pero sé que aún tengo que mejorar muchísimo y eso es lo que estoy dispuesta a hacer. Y no me gusta presumir ni sentirme mucho porque realmente todavía no lo soy... Además de que, a veces, se me pasa la mano al momento de presumir u.u

O quizá es que me quedé con esa idea por lo que me dijo D en la secundaria... Que era muy presumida u.u Y sí lo era...creo XD Después de que dijo eso...dejé de serlo u.u Pero supongo que tendré que encontrar un justo medio u.u

Y luego este sábado...que ya casi será el pasado...hice a la Bruja Aburrida de las Tres Mellizas...y fue muy divertido y emocionante (aunque me puse algo nerviosa) y luego empezó la clase de máster y me llamaron para apoyar con un personaje femenino en lo que llegaban las demás chicas de máster. Y creo que no lo hice tan mal >3> Mis compañeritos me vitorearon y me aplaudieron y se emocionaron y yo también. Y me puse rojita .___. XD Y fui muy feliz. Muy, muy feliz porque creo que...sí se nota que realmente me estoy esforzando para hacer un trabajo decente ;^; Las tres líneas que me tocó hacer...las hice entre dos y tres tomas con un solo ensayo. Mi meta ahora es hacerlas en dos o una >''<9

Y luego lo que dicen de mí:

"¿De dónde saliste?"
"Eres todo un caso."
"Eres muy divertida."
"Eres muy linda."
"Aw. No puedo con su carita. Eres como la hermana menor que nunca tuve y nunca quise tener."
"Brillante...modesta...talentosa...genio incomprendido...no entienden tu genialidad...eres genial...me alegras el día..."
"¡No sigas! Esa fuerza... La humedad de mi cuerpo no tiene nada que ver con la lluvia." XD

Es muy curioso. No sé. Antes, cuando recién entré al club, era raro recibir ese tipo de comentarios, pero veía a la gente y a mis amigos reaccionar positivamente a mis chistes y comentarios tontos y me sorprendía que se rieran en verdad porque, en casa y en la secundaria, lo más que arrancaba eran ojos en blanco y medias sonrisas. En la preparatoria era más graciosa porque todas mis amigas eran de mi estilo... En la Universidad no tanto pero, rumbo al final de la carrera, mis imitaciones me colocaban en el gusto de mis amig@s, al igual que en el club.

Y, ahora, en esta nueva escuela... Como que todo se conjuntó y se extrapoló y supongo que es porque practiqué con esas habilidades en lugares aparte y...de alguna forma les di forma y medio las pulí...y ahora están más brillantes que antes. Y con eso de que mi voz, mi cuerpo y mi apariencia están cambiando para mostrar un yo más...yo...creo que me siento un poco más libre de ser yo misma, pero todavía tengo limitaciones de control.

Igual pasa en el canto .___. Dicen que tengo una voz bonita, que mi voz es fácil porque es agradable como sea que cante...pero la cosa es sacarla para entonces pulirla y que sea...uniforme y congruente con el trabajo. No sé. Me encanta mi voz cuando canto, pero me da tanta pena cajetearla que...por eso no la dejo salir bien. Aunque supongo que tendré que hacerlo. Realmente quiero disfrutarlo y hacerlo bien y avanzar rápido porque cantar siempre me ha gustado...y quiero hacerlo bien. No. No quiero hacerlo bien. Quiero ser la mejor. La mejor de las sopranos... Y quiero lograrlo ;^;9

También quería escribir y me deprimí el viernes pasado porque me enteré que el cuento que mandé a concurso no ganó ni una "méndiga" mención honorífica u.u Lloré...porque de lo único de lo que siempre había estado segura en mi vida era de que quería escribir. Y, como ahora no he escrito nada que valga la pena (más que el cuento que envié y el 23 de agosto cumple un año), he perdido un poco la esperanza en eso y me pone muy triste. Pero el lunes pude escribir mucho acerca de Karma. Y me sentí bien y contenta :') Aunque también algo drenada X_x XD Y bueno...no voy a mejorar si no hago el intento, ¿no? Me he puesto a leer de nuevo para recuperar el feeling, tunear mi estilo y sigo tratando de imaginar y de escribir :) Pero ya no quiero escribir sobre relaciones amorosas u.u Quiero hacer algo más... Algo distinto. Soy tan mala en lo demás u.u Con práctica, con práctica... La práctica hace maravillas, espero >3> No quiero dejar de escribir. No quiero dejarlo de lado porque amo escribir y ese fue mi primer acercamiento con las artes u.u Y bueno...siempre me ha gustado la música y así, pero no quiero dejar de escribir ;^;


Lo frustrante de la vida es que, muchas veces, las cosas no salen como esperas que salgan. Y que, a veces, no sabes si eso es bueno o malo. Lo gracioso es que esos cambios siempre terminan llevándote a donde debes estar. Me pregunto si realmente este es mi camino en la vida...porque es algo que jamás me imaginé haciendo: dando la cara .____. Siempre me vi detrás de una computadora, de una oficina, de un nom du plume, de una editorial, del atril, del micrófono...nunca en un escenario. Quizá eso es lo que debo hacer en esta vida: dar la cara por lo que estoy haciendo .___. Y me aterra. Pero si eso ha de ser, entonces será u.u Y estoy dispuesta :)9

Yay taking care of my class! (...For real, tho?) XD

So, today was Children's Day in my country and I saw lots of boys and girls dressed up as they pleased and wearing fantasy make up and all that XD

Also, today P sensei asked me: "Rincon san, you said in your presentation that you wanted to become a Japanese sensei some day, didn't you?" And as I asked: "Eh? :D", she told me: "Because you're going to take care of this group next Thursday."

:D
:D
:D!!!

(...whut? .___.)


It ain't that big of a deal. It'd be like...for one hour and sensei's already got all the activities planned for us to do, so...

But still. It's being in charge of a class...in University. Like...being a professor assistant. I never thought I'd be any of that .___. Mostly because I...never stand out in any other class :D

This is weird. So weird .___. XD But I'll do my best. As I said, it can't much of a deal...かな。。。

In other news, I blew an orange balloon inside the classroom as we were listening to the text book's CD and it was silly. I did it because I was looking for something inside my bag and then I came into it because I used it for my singing class (so I could give my notes the support they need. It's an exercise where you have to blow it while you press your cheeks so you have to use the pressure of your diaphragm in order to do it successfully. It is important because, that way, the note doesn't tremble and it sounds a lot more powerful and neat :D) and it was lying there. So I took it up my mouth and I blew into it, pressing my cheeks and it ended up being a round, plastic protuberance of a considerable size.

Sensei lifted her gaze just out of habit and she eyed me. Then she realised what she was seeing and started laughing. I laughed too and shrugged. I released the air and my classmates turned around to look for the source of the unexpected noise and I started laughing under my breath.

Mum told me I used to be like that when I was a kid: I did whatever came to my mind just because I wanted to. She smiled when I told her all this :) I smiled too XD I had almost forgotten my spontaneity and enthusiasm. It's nice to be reminded of it when you feel as lost and as unplugged from whatever-you-used-to-be as much as I've been feeling lately u.u Identity issues u.u XD

Also, my children's day gift was to spend the evening with mum, watching The Hobbit for a second time and eating sweets~ :3

Life's been good. I hope...it stays that way ;^;

Wish me luck next Thursday, pretty please? .___. XD

I'm so bad at keeping up with blogs XD

I'm so sorry. Really. I know no one reads me but myself, but I'm still sorry. I should be more eager at writing this thing. But there are sometimes I just can't bring myself to do it XD

Anyways: life's been quite nice :3 I'm so obsessed with Sherlock right now and I've already started dubbing classes as in...formally, I guess XD We started practising with a thingie called Rastamouse (about three or four episodes), then an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and we've started with Friends' finale, part one XD

I don't like Friends that much, if I must be completely and absolutely honest. But practise is practise, I suppose. And it was great fun because today there were only two girls (a younger girl and me) and, since there are many female characters here, we ended up practising lots ^^

But I almost hyperventilated because I was dubbing a pregnant woman's reactions right when she entered labour...so...they had to record me in a different channel because one of the boys kept getting it wrong...and I was starting to feel dizzy when I had to redo the take. My legs failed me when I did the second scene X_x XD I had to do it as fast and best as I could...so I didn't have to repeat it all over and faint there .___. XD But it was interesting XD

Of course, those aren't going to be broadcasted because they're only meant to be used as scholastic material XDDD

As for my singing classes, I finally managed to reach that freaking G that was giving me problems. And I was so absurdly happy over it that I even drew it XD I must say I can't really say how happy it makes me to be able to release my voice (I still have it a little trapped in there, but it's kinda coming out and I must confess...I very much like what I hear :9). I'm also able to sing Snow White's "Someday My Prince Will Come" decently and also "Love Those Beams", which is, I think, a baroque opera or something like that :3

This is my drawing~ XD Yeah, new haircut :3 Kinda love it <3

I'll start singing about two more small baroque opera pieces next Tuesday...and I might finally get the musical comedy song I'll be singing for the concert next...October, November? I dunno.

It's so much fun and I enjoy this so much. It's so amazing to hear sounds you never ever in your life thought would leave your mouth. I'm so happy, so thankful. And, modesty apart, I really do like what I hear coming from me~ :3

Let's see whether I'll be able to overcome my stage fright and manage to sing at the concert at all .___. LOL

As for Japanese...it's ridiculous how happy I am about that. I'm trying my best and it seems as though I'm being able to bring out results to light XD

The only thing I'm worrying about now is...well...money >3>

I need to find myself a job T^T But everytime I send any CV...no one answers back and I start feeling kinda useless here.

I don't want to end up being a journalist because I really don't like that life. It scares me so much. I won't be able to cope with it and I'll be so miserable .___. I sometimes feel my CV ain't appealing enough and that saddens me. I need to look for things that would help me improve there. But how can I when they ask you for experience no one's willing to give? I've been some sort of freelancer there for about two years at school...but I dunno how much that counts and it makes me feel uneasy. I need to be behind a desk...correcting texts, editing things...looking for interesting projects in order to publish them, convince people to do so, looking for fonts, types of papers, inks...colours... *creys in a corner* I want to be an editor as badly as I want to be a voice actress T^T9

And finish my thesis. I also want that. But my tutor's kinda disappeared...and I'm starting to get kinda anxious here.

*sigh* Those are the only turn downs. But I guess that might be because it isn't the time to do those things just yet ;^;

:)

I'm also waiting for Star Trek: Into Darkness because of this:




(I'm being honest here, don't hate me! >3> *runs away*) And also because of all the explosions, sci-fi, spaceships blowing up in the middle of the sky, derranged chaos and destruction taking over our planet and neverending action package it promises to be :9 (Have you watched the trailers? Hm-mh!) And also because Harrison san seems to have an epic one-on-one battle with Spock san coughcoughoverKirkcoughwut...and it'll certainly be worth seeing XD

Less than a month now for it :9 °((>w<))° May 10th here~ :9 I'm saving money in order to watch it in IMAX...and THREEEEEEEDEEEEEEEEEEEE :VVV Because I need to see if I get a lot more excited about it that way XD

So, yeah. That's life now :3

Also, April's an important month for birthdays as well~ :3 I already said it but: Happy 20th, Kuro huuuuun~! I love you lots~ :3

Next birthdays'll be coming as the month wanes XD :3

I'm still alive XD

Yeah, I am. Just posting here for you to know that. Not many things have happened. Most of them have to do with my acting class and growing nostalgia... I've been watching movies, reading and not doing much. I think we won't be celebrating Xmas here in the nest... Or, at least, not a very merry one. Dunno. The feeling here's kinda down and it makes me sad.

I need money too u.u Haven't got much... I'm slightly worried about that. Need to find myself a job already.

On the bright side, Karu gave me the first (and maybe only) Xmas gifts of this year. And I feel all shitty because I think I won't be able to get her something. There are people I wanna see, but I might not be able to because of the lack of money again. Fecking money, why do we all need you so much? And why aren't you here? ¬¬ You piss me off to no end, but don't go away. Because I fecking need you.

I'm trying to wake up my manliness... But unfortunately, my femininity seems to be rising instead :I At least when I dress myself D: XD I hate that. I hate the damsel in distress role. I don't think (and I don't want to think) it goes well with me. I need to let go of certain things, but stupid nostalgia and Twitter doesn't help much, so I'm thinking whether I should just shut that bloody thing down. For my own good XD

Don't think I haven't been checking your blog, Kuro hun. I'll comment on every single post you've uploaded as soon as...I dunno XD But, mark my words, I will! XD

On a side-note:

I started watching Sherlock about two weeks ago. On Wednesday I finally managed to watch the first episode complete. Then I watched the second one...and started the third one. Yesterday I watched the fourth and part of the fifth. I finished watching it all tonight and-I-fecking-loved-it. I really, REALLY did. I might review it here. I'm not good at reviewing stuff, but I have a mighty need to do this because it's worth commenting and discussing and all. Although...don't expect much since I suck so much at doing that...and at English too, so...

Bonus :DDD

In order to commemorate this new acquisition, here's this, from geothebio @ tumblr XD


I need to go the fuck to sleep too XD

Things are happening... XD

So, here we are... In the blooming flower of our youth, with a whole path ahead of us and then...

Suddenly you don't really know what you gonna do XD

I always knew I wanted to write. I also knew I wanted to do something with my voice. Not that my voice is amazing, but I was keen on that. Then I stated I would write...but also correct and edit other people's work. I also wanted to learn to play (or at least listen carefully) music... 

I'm not saying I'm gonna act for a living, because...I still dunno why all this is happening. But the fact that this is another door opening makes me feel kinda encouraged and happy :3 That means I'm not as useless as I thought I was :3

*sigh*

I'll explain myself because I wanna XDDD

Two weeks ago, I went to my acting class, as I always do XDDD But we were out of people because...well, we assumed that it was because semester's near to its end and people are getting busy. We didn't have enough people to cover up all the characters in the main play we're rehearsing. So, my teacher told me: "You're gonna play Lidia today..." Lidia's like...the main character of that play. And I was like: "But I'm Eva... You sure?" He told me not to worry and to do as I was told. So... I entered as Eva, I said my line as I always did... And then came back as Lidia (because she appears later on). When I started acting as Lidia...I could hear my teacher mumbling: "This is so touching..." but I didn't say anything or reacted in any visible way. I just snorted quietly and went on. Of course, I had to read the whole thing, but I tried my best to put some inflections and motion to whatever I said.

So, as we finished, he told us to go and sit so we could talk about the rehearsal. As I went to my place, a friend told me: "You should change and play Lidia! You were amazing!" I only laughed and told her: "Well, go and tell that to the teacher! XD" and then I added: "No. Thank you very much for your words, but she's Itza's and I really am in love with Eva :)" And then the teacher came and told me:

"You did an incredible job at this. You gave the character a whole new personality, your voice tunes, the way you acted. I even think they (my classmates) felt a lot more comfy with you. You're showing me that...you could've done whatever part I would've given you...whether it was the old lady, the girl...even a man. You really do have a knack for acting. I really think so. Now you're putting me in a difficult situation because I gave you the foreign woman because you could do the accent at the moment I asked you to do it. But it'd be unfair for the girl who's playing Lidia for real, so...I'm sorry. I'm not giving you this part. But you really did a good job at this and I'm sure you can do whatever I ask you to... Thank you".

And I was all happy because he didn't take Eva from me XD

The rest of the class were my friends telling me how much they enjoyed my Lidia interpretation...and me thanking them... One of them (the same girl who told me she would've wanted me to play that character from now on) told me it was the first time she actually felt the angst in Lidia. And I told her that...maybe...just maybe that was because the other girl gave the impression she didn't know what she was saying. Meaning: she didn't fully comprehend Lidia.

So. That happened that day.

Last weekend I dreamt about the play and I was slightly uneasy. I somehow felt that part was meant to be mine... But I thought I was overthinking everything, as I often do. And I still love Eva D: So, I tried not to think much about that anymore.

But yesterday, I was...in a hurry. I wanted to write as much as I could of my thesis work because I thought I wouldn't have time to write today. Then I told myself: "But you don't have school tomorrow"... But I still felt sure I was going to have things to do today.

And today came my teacher's mail telling me he was giving me that part... But I think that's because the girl who was playing it won't come back. So, the main character's mine. And I'm gonna miss Eva ;^; I couldn't do much today because I was trying to learn her lines by heart u.u And also because a stupid silly mountain of dishes waited for me to wash them...and because mum wanted me to stay with her u.u

So, yeah! :D It's weird to be told you are good at something you first thought you sucked at. But I really am trying my best and I think people can tell, so... I'm glad and thankful for that :3

Bonus:



I think Bram Stoker would die again if he knew that tomorrow, a day after his 165th birthday, will be Breaking Dawn's opening night.

I'd like to kill all the twilighters, tho =w=

Nevertheless, happy 165th birthday, Mr Stoker. You were irish and a writer...and you wrote Dracula. I love you.

And this:


Here is a story to break your heart...
...Are you willing?

*creys*

Journey into Mystery #645 ;^; I found them at tumblr. I read the last 5 numbers and I was all ;^; half the time *creys more* Kid!Loki rocks ;^;

I want a copy of #645, because the art is beautiful. But I think there are none here ._____.

Strings and wind~

You know how strings always make you think of wind when you listen to them in music...? How, when they are pulled and caressed they mesmerize you mercilessly and you just willingly give in to the tune? How the pizzicatos and the way fingers stroke those thin threads lure you into a beautiful trance of rhythm and emotion? And how the melody goes in crescendo, and leaves you there, floating in the sky, in the beautifulness and harmony of its marvel and then brings you back down, safely, floating, like a feather until you touch back the ground?

I do know that and I love to feel it every time I listen to wonderful breathtaking music =w=



This one, for example. I've decided this one will be the theme song for this life's moment. It's been tough. I think I now understand what the End of the World meant. My world just ended...right when I turned 22. But I'm glad :) Because that means better things are about to happen. I am meant to change, to transform and to leave silly thoughts behind. I can't let myself down and I just won't :3

I have myself and my shinning stars. And I'm pretty sure they just won't let me down :3 I'll try my best to rise and shine as I always have. And fly away, as high as I can because that's partly what I came here for :3

Lalalala~ <3 I just hope to keep this mood up XDDD

I'll post about my b-day presents...later...next month XDD

Tomorrow's AVENGERS DAAAAAAAAAAY! :VVVVV I'm excited~ :BBBB

Dadaism... Yeah, right XD

Damn! I'm not good at this orz

*sigh* Anyway. Last post was that short and was a rant because my parents wanted us to go on a family trip to the beach. I'm usually not against it. Problem was I gave my parents a whole week of my time (during which I didn't even go out) and they didn't use it. And suddenly, when I had my whole week planned with my friends and all...they did this. That's why I was all pissed. I had to cancel all my compromises and all u.u

But it was a nice trip :) I might post some pics... Later XD

Hm. I really don't have much to tell. Although...last week was kinda full of things. I saw a friend I hadn't seen in a long, long time. She has changed lots. And she was angry at me because I neglected her way too much. I must confess I am not a constant person (as you can see). It isn't because I don't care. It's just I tend to feel restricted when I have to see/go out/talk to people every day or...when I don't really feel like it...or when I am busy u.u I sometimes feel I'm pretty selfish and that I am not good-friend/good-girlfriend material XD;;; But that's because I think friends are there always... Even if you don't talk to them often... As long as you're there for then when they need you and they're there for you whenever you need them, I think it's great.

Maybe that's what happened. She needed me and I wasn't there for her...

Also, I like to have fun with friends. And...sometimes I felt somehow...stressed when I was with her, because all we talked about were problems u.u I dunno... I did like to spend time with her...but she was so negative sometimes. And I felt, too, that I didn't have much to share with her, since I'm still like...a child-adolescent-stupid girl and she was very keen in growing up u.u Also, I didn't know what to say when she told me about her situation. I had no way of giving my views on the matter. I felt nothing I could tell her or do...could help her in any way. I guess... I simply gave up. I think she's my first big failure.

Anyway. We first talked on the phone. She called because she wanted me to give her back a book she lent me years ago and she also wanted to give me two books I lent her. So, we talked. Obviously, we couldn't skip the main reason why we hadn't seen each other lately. And she told me about her life. I got depressed. She's had a tough one, as always. And I wasn't there. I felt like shit, because I wasn't there for her when she was going through such difficult times. But...what would I've done in case I was there?

I truly have no idea. And I felt useless. I got so self-conscious, depressed and so emotionally drained after that conversation that I fell asleep on the sofa as soon as we hung up. Next day, I saw her. I trusted we would only swap books and leave, but she asked me whether I had something else to do... So, I stayed with her until she did what she had to. We talked. It wasn't awkward. But I still dunno... *sigh*

**

My stomach was upset since Friday because of an indigestion prob D: That and, I think, the stress of trying to register the last two classes I'll take as a degree student, caused it XD Nonetheless, that didn't stop me from staying at my sis's with my other sis (yep, Karl, you're officially my sis now. God bless you, dear, and may Odin be ever with you) and watch yoyo animu with them XDDD It was pretty much fun. You know, because of fangirlism and stuff.

We didn't sleep, btw.

They also suggested something for the stupid story I'm trying to write. Tú (that's my brain's name) likes the idea. I'm still in denial =w=

And today...realisation hit my face, mercilessly. I... I'm about to finish school. No more classes, no more HW, no more...school life. That made me feel self-conscious again. I mean, my sister is having her graduation party in ten days (her mum's paying my ticket... That's so nice of her ;^; I'm in debt). I'm having mine on January, but I don't want any of that shit >''< I don't like many of my classmates. I'd rather have a small meeting with all the people I do like and keep in touch with them u.u Or to have that money to pay for my dubbing classes u.u That's one of my silliest, more desperate, biggest dreams ever.

I'm about to finish my social service in a month. I still need to do that stupid English exam X_x I'm scared! TOT9

Also, I realised I'm still seeing two friends from High School up till now. That's a lot. And I still want to see them. That means they're VERY important to me. And I'm sure Karl is gonna be one of those significant friends too XD

Am also starting an online course of french reading. Should be interesting. I wanna study japanese on my own again :3 So, I might, since I'll have some free time in my hands.

*sigh*

So. That's been it. Feelings all over the place, innit? I'm selfish and I'm self-conscious.

Oh, I've just listened to SID's newest album :D I might post a review here later~ :3 All I can say now is...I FREAKING LOVE IT!! °((>w<))° But, that's the fangirl speaking XD
