Acting Workshop

The end of the week was coming to an end and I could not have been more enthusiastic. I thought I was going to retire the week at peace. Completely responsibility-free. But, I was called by my teacher for club on something that I could not refuse, (like, even if i wanted to), I was to be the "host" of the workshop. So basically I just had to introduce people and make a speech and stuff. Other than missing class completely, I had the perk to wear whatever I wanted.

The Workshop itself was enlightening. Mr. Eusores gave us many things that would be helpful to the actors. The most important thing I learned was eye contact, up to that point, I could not see the value in eye contact. When our esteemed guest gave us a demonstration on how important it is, I found that without eye contact, you can't even recite the alphabet right, at least in coordination with another person. I really learned so much and I am looking forward to how that experience will help me in our class' future endeavors.

English play

It's once again english time and we've got something new in store. We've moved on to another topic that was our centre of attention for nearly the entire week. It was our English plays. On our first reading we were given random characters. I was given the role of Benezio, who was a "sexually confused" man. I must admit that I was slightly uncomfortable playing such a character. Although, this gave me a lot of insight on what being homosexual meant at the time. As if treament of those people wasn't bad enough today. Anyways, I nevertheless did NOT botch it, despite the challenge to play a contrasting personality of mine.

What happened second thing, was that we were given more suitable roles. Well, I say suitable because anything other than a gay man works. I was given the role of the count. The man who was instrumental in the plan of the prince to take his father, the king's, throne. We had another round to read off the lines in this character and I must say that the count really is a mysterious figure in this story and he is completely absent during the ending. Well, I am glad that I play him and not Benezio, but since i'm temporarily cast as a villain, then I would like to try being the prince. Why? All great villains have deaths. The prince is given such an honor while the count finds away into the darkness a the end. Nevertheless, it was a very busy, week, and a lot of time did fly during all these activities.

The week goes on....

The week continues. Everything seems to be going well so far. Got good reactions from T. Mae for my poem, just finished a math presentation, so far, so good. This week, I must say, was specifically.... well..... bloody.

We started off good with some tests. My English test scores were good. I remember converting it at least to an 80%... well kind of. Social Science, well that was a long one. To be honest, I don't even remember a bunch of stuff sir nifas talked about. They're really the kind of stuff you have to watch a lot of tv for, and i did. Anyways, I alot of people didn't pass. Good thing I narrowly avoided being in the majority. Thank you TV!

The main guys I think were the two boys Gino and Jerry, followed by Tim, and Renzo I think. Major Props to those guys. That was a frickin hard exam...... and I'm willing to bet they didnt even use the TV! Now that that's done somehting else follwed. Something that would haunt the dreams of the weak at heart. Shall I say it? Mothers, turn your children away, Grandmothers, take your medicine, PRegnant women, prepare to have a very, very early birth...... SAW 7!

I cannot even begin to describe the goryness of this movie. This is so bad, I wouldn't wish them to Ted Bundy himself. Though big respect to the directors, as Renzo said, they were really smart. I think it's because they really know how to get into the psycology  of a victim, or even the killer. Most importantly, they know how to get into our heads. That's the most important part. You can have the most awesome movie  script with the best planning and even the most exciting scenes. But if you're story sucks and you're actors don;t know how to act. You may as well book your movie a showing on the D list. Anwyays, saw is a unique and exciitng movie, I definitley recommend you to watch it if you can stomach seeing another persons stomach.
