[listening to: Tsuyokiss - Sunao ni Narenai]

Since last week, all that's been on my mind is..GETTING INTO PHSA(Philippine High School for the Arts). I've been praying, practicing my songs, and making a "think positive" list in case I don't get in.

[this morning]

When I got to the bus, I got a bit nervous. There were SO much of us and only a few would get selected. And I haD a HUGE feeling that I wasn't gonna get in! I looked around, hoping to see a friendly face, but every kid seemed busy reviewing their pieces and stuff.

We got down at the NAC(National Arts Center), where we filled up the forms, got our code-numbers, and was introduced to the school by the bubbly Theater Arts teacher, Tita Lotlot. She's funny ^o^ anyway, I made new friends with this girl with glasses(I forgot her name..I think it was Nicole or something like that), another girl with long, curly hair(now I REALLY forgot her name), and another girl named Pauline, who sang the same song as one of my songs for the audition. Anyway, at first I was REALLY nervous, but after meeting them, I realized that we were all as nervous as each other!

[at about 9 am]

After the LOOOONG wait at NAC, they announced that audition venues would vary by course(Music, Theatre, Dance, etc..). We went to these nifty little classrooms, where we were called one by one to come into ANOTHER classroom to sing in front of a teacher(and they would grade us). I was a bit relieved at first since it seemed like my number was a bit of a long way to go.

But when I was called, I felt so nervous that I could jump around and force my nervous-ness(?!) to get out! Argh! Together with my uncle(who accompanied me), we entered the classroom..

"What pieces will you be singing?" the teacher, Ms. Menchie, asked.

I couldn't remember anything that happened after that and while singing, except for my mind screaming, "MAKE IT PERFECT!" and Ms. Menchie asking me to move down the front. I was so nervous! Then she made me sightread a simple piece(thank goodness it was simple) and repeat some notes she played on the piano(she told my dad I was in perfect pitch..yay!). She smiled and didn't make me feel like I had to sing like my life depended on it. So it went pretty well.

I started losing my conciousness again when she told me to take the dictation exams(in short, I PASSED!), and all I could remember was my heart jumping around and the unexplainable happy feeling I got! Yay!

[back to the classrooms..]

Out of the 100+(okay, okay..maybe just 50+!) of the kids who auditioned for Music, only 10 of us were left. And we got along pretty well, being in the same age group and all sharing a passion for music. I had a feeling that this was gonna be good. Dictations were easy, but some other test called the "Music Sensitivity test" had my brain thumping for answers. What the heck is Music Phrasing?! So I got a little breakdown there. The next series of tests were like IQ tests(e.g., find the one that isn't supposed to be included, find the next one to the pattern, abstract ekk, etc..), and we had about 4 tests full of them(and oh, the painful, tired eyes I got). We had some essays to write, like finding an object to represent you and explaining why, and completing an unfinished drawing and explaining what it is..in NOT LESS THAN 200 WORDS! So it was a bit hard and uber-challenging, but it was fun to write anyway. There was also a personality test and some mind-boggling other stuff which went on from 1 pm to 6 pm. We went with Pauline back to Metro Manila(her parents are really nice!) and ate California Maki.

Today was fun, tiring, stressful, but in the end, I loved it. I hope I get the scholarship!
