2 Worlds, One Turtle

Where do I begin.

Let's start with my life as a singer at EK.

  I don't get paid much but I do love the fact that they're the ones who provide transpo, food, and costumes. Also, everyone's great to work with. During the entire 2-day preparations, I thought my fellow singers would have a problem with harmonization but we pretty much adjusted well to each other's melody (and if we were an actual group maybe we can kick Glee's ass lol).

 Though we'll be performing the same songs every weekend, each show feels different for us. There are moments we feel like we could've done a lot better, there were moments we feel our energy needs to gel more together, there are moments that are just fabulous. Sometimes the sound techs would occasionally fail us (I dunno why) so we try our best to have a sound check and run-through of our songs before the actual show.

Let me talk about my 5 fellow singers:

King. He's 17, and probably the most talkative among us. He can just talk and crack jokes for hours. He brings a K-Pop vibe to the group and one of the fangirl favorites. Well, he was suppose to go to Korea and be part of this all-guy K-Pop group but local management (ahem GMA ahem) had him under contract, thus he couldn't go. He's joined singing contests on TV (none that I've watched lol) but he has a good balladeer voice. He calls me "ate" and sometimes "babe" for the troll of it. I can't keep up with his energy sometimes that I just wave him off when he's feeling extra-hyper.

Gadget. She's 17 and we call her "bunso" because she's quite small. Sweet little girl with a big voice. She and King have been friends since their younger singing contest years together. She gets a little too excited about McDonald's french fries and other foods. She's been an EK performer before and I think she's also under management with a local TV network. Not sure which though.

Earl. She's 24 and has been a professional dancer ever since she graduated from high school. She's worked as a singer-dancer at Universal Studios Singapore and Hong Kong Disneyland. She went back working at EK as a form of "vacation." When we found out her exes are mostly foreigners, we cracked up when Josh said she's Dora The Explorer. ("Canadian! Australian! American!")

Josh. A.k.a. Superman (because, well, he does look like a very young version of Superman). He's 17. Also a crowd favorite. He has really pretty green-hazel-ish eyes. He's half-Hungarian, half-everything. Will pursue his acting career after he graduates from high school around March. He and King decided that they'll be Jacob and Edward and then I'm Bella. Thus, the comedic pseudo-fights over me that happens every after show. I like stepping on his shoes.

In Trouble AGAIN. But, it's not my fault...

So I already get pissed at people during details... Now I have a new reason to be pissed at someone new. klsjdlfkjsdl;jfl;jsdl;fjdsf. The last two weeks haven't been my week.

ATP Probs.

I've been trying to get a hold of my MTL (Military Training Leader) because last Friday, I missed Open Ranks (which is you show up in whatever uniform they want you in and meet up at a certain time, certain place with your transition card so they can check you, see if you keep your uniform looking good and such) because we had a manditory First Duty Station briefing (a briefing about where we're going after Tech School) and so I told him about it ahead of time and he said that I can miss Open Ranks for it but to come see him Tuesday (yesterday) and make it up. So I did, but he wasn't around so I wasn't able to get my transition card stamped.

Bleh.

 Haven't posted in this blog for awhile.

OTTERRRRRRR AH MISS YOU LIKE POTATOES MISS THE SOIL

Didn't go through with the interview at Eastwood because a.)there's so much history in Eastwood that keep flashback-ing in my mind during my weird Concentrix days, b.)HR at the company was friggin' unprofessional and c.)I don't want to run into old officemates/superiors if ever I get hired. I should really think about cleaning out my friend list in my FB but I have my other, more private account anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.

 Yes, the reason I'm job-hunting this week is to get moolah and probably earn enough to move out at some point this year because it's getting friggin' suffocating being under the same roof as my family. Particularly my mother. It's a long story. Because independence and clashing of morals. I'm so tired being treated like a 10-year-old.

  The only person who makes the entire thing tolerable is my li'l bro, who is admirably smart and observant for his age. And the fact that he's the most affectionate one in the family helps. Also, for my friends who are willing to listen.


We mostly agree to disagree in this house but for a long time now it's already getting on my sanity.
