yechuan is a gargantuan success!!! my goodness me! just when we thought that the LT will only be half-filled, a miracle happened and there was a huge turn out! =)) about 95% of the LT was filled and it was so so so cool. the expected laughter for my role came and yeah man i really enjoyed acting as a bimbo. kim said i have a hidden talent for it. -.- oh wells. but anyway, i think that this is the best best best show we've ever put up. my goodness me. wonderful wonderful. =D i've really enjoyed this whole process of preparing for ye chuan. despite going home at about 9pm every day and having problems with budget, costumes and so so much more, it was really a fulfilling experience. i'm so so thankful to have met these friends of mine who have given me such a new perspective in life, and who have, in a way, revived my dead heart. u guys rawk!!! =D
anyway, here's a quotation from the online journal of Paulo Coelho, my fave author. this is from the issue of Warrior of the Light Online #146. this is regarding a letter written by a man condemned to death, arrested when he was 19 years old and executed when he was 27, containing not a word of lamentation: it speaks of freedom and life....
"If I transcend, I will finally be able to float in the wind and enjoy freedom. I have realized that although my body is imprisoned, my life has changed and my soul can still love, because all freedom is mental. Many people in this world, although they are on the outside of prison, are far more in bondage than I am."
i'm not free. i imprisoned my soul, imprisoned my body, imprisoned myself.
