"Give It Time"
Possibly some of the most painful words anyone can hear, particularly in this very instantt-gratification-oriented world. But it's something we do hear often, and something we probably need to hear more often. After all, not everything can come instantly. There are times and situations when we do have to wait. And the payoff is generally better.

Still, you can't help but be frustrated when you're told to wait and "give it time," especially if it's for something you really want.

As for me? I'm used to "giving it time" except in one situation: Conflict resolution. I never want things to grow while nothing is being done about it, and the sooner a conflict is nipped in the bud, well, I think that's better. But I guess sometimes situations arise when you can't resolve an issue instantly; one or both parties need the time to resovle their own personal issues before fixing the conflict.

I'd like to think I'm ready to resolve this. What I'm not prepared for is the outcome.

WHAT BE THE STORY...

Of your name?
I was named after (the late) Prince Rainier of Monaco.

Of your parents?
They're both CPAs. Go figure.

Of your last bday?
The blueREP newbies definitely made it memorable. They edited the opening song from Rent and turned it to Ren, and they performed it during one rehearsal for their musical revue. It's one of the most touching gestures ever done for me.

Of your first love?
Have I ever been in love in the first place? I don't know.

Of your room?
My pad is wonderful. I enjoy living by myself in Makati.

Of last Christmas?
Forgettable. It played out like any ordinary day.

Of last Valentines day?
I don't believe in Valentine's Day. ;)

Of your current clothes?
Um... a shirt and jeans... um...

Of the 1st time u saw your crush?
...no comment.

Of you and your best friend/s?
...no comment, either.

Of the last place you went to?
Fuzion in Greenbelt 3. Had this mango/strawberry smoothie while trying to memorize my lines.

Of the last time you cried?
...no comment. Too recent for me to write about, and besides, it's stupid. (Erm, refer to the current entry above.)

Of your greatest achievement so far?
Playing Charley Kringas in the Rep workshop production of Merrily We Roll Along. Not only did I meet a fantastic (and awesomely talented) group of people, but it's probably the work I'm proudest of. I can actually watch it and not cringe whenever I see myself! It's a huge ego boost, too.

The last movie you watched?
The Inside Man with some of the Rep workshoppers. A very engaging and intelligent thriller.

Tag.
Ah... feel free, whoever. Too lazy to tag specific people. =P
