Bad Day
Today has been a long, bad day. I'm really glad it's over.

Commuting, as always, was a hassle. Somehow, today, it was an even bigger hassle; waiting for the LRT was even longer than usual. It flashed the "Next train to Recto in 30 seconds" sign for the longest time. The MRT, as always, was super crowded, so by the time I got to Shang for voice lessons, I was exhausted and sweating like heck.

Voice lessons didn't go too well, either. For starters, Teacher Lionel was running late, but I didn't mind that so much since I was still catching my breath from commuting. At the actual lessons, I was struggling from the beginning to "find my center," and it was downhill from there. I'd shown some great improvement with "You're Still You" (though it's still by no means great), but today everything just felt off. I couldn't hit the notes right, and interpretation left a lot to be desired. Dejected, I went home for lunch.

I napped a little bit too long, so I was late to leave the house to pick up props at Galian. That wasn't much fun, either. Rummaging through prop boxes in a hot, hot room leads to a sweaty, sweaty boy. Not fun. Arrived very early for Rep workshops; Mia and Joy introduced me to the wonders of Mine Shine Milk Tea. It is lurve.

The rehearsals started.

The less said about that, the better. I'm trying not to dwell upon it, and just pick myself up then dust myself off and start all over again for tomorrow. But, well, I'm me, so I'll do a little more self-flagellation before I go to bed.

In any case, everyone seemed to be having a bad day. Harold, in particular, wasn't having the best of days even before workshops started. And poor Joy's recorder has died. When it rains, it pours.

Oh well. There went Tuesday, May 9, 2006.

Tomorrow is another day.
