Self-made Musical?!

At first I was named as one of the stage manager of the self made musical of our chorus this semester.

Now I was like doing jobs of directors and producers -- now I'm the one who casts, the one who keeps the playwright on schedule, and even the one who asks the actors to play!!!!!

The main problem happens to be that our playwright is also the leading actor, who is ALSO the chorus leader right now. And he was handling too much duty so he toss stuff that he hates (such as executive or administrative problems) to other people instead of making a clear division of works.

Ironically, one of the leap we took this year was administering titles in order to make a clear cut work and practicing it efficiently. I guess we failed.

And the playwright was so problematic that I am still wondering when will he upload the whole script...... It's less than two months to perform! Such a ridiculous. He never truly understands what he should be responsible to while naming himself as the playwright and the leading actor.

The director is also a joke..... She hasn't show up in any of our meeting by far, and wr already had 5~6 meet ups. And the stupid casting!!!!! Why is a stage manager begging people around to see if they'd like to star?!!!!! I am suppose to be the commander during the performance, not the casting director!!!!!! That's the most unfair stuff by far......




I just hope we won't be at this whole stupid time wasting status again when I'll finally be really in charge next year.
NO MORE AMBIGUOUS JOBS OR TITLES !!!!!!!!

Groupings

I feel way so, so, so sick of those small groups.

It feels like the rest are just nonsense and the whole world just orbits around you guys, huh?!
I can't say that I had never had a single moment of expecting myself to be asked of joining, and I do feel grateful that some of the insiders are caring enough to ask my opinion, though I had to turn them down due to peer pressure.
What on earth is happening in this whatever-you'd-like-to-call-it club? Not just members, even the teacher has the same problem and now needs us to stop him or at least blur the borderline. Gosh the ugly truth is that nobody wants to train underdogs singers into an average level. Most people just want to teach smart kids and enjoy the applauds by the end of another successful show, with the problem still existing!
Gosh the stage is really a poison, even I can still be fooled occasionally. At least I know how to manage it out by far, trying to do the best of your own job and not being the annoying one that always wants the spotlight on you.

That was probably my longest murmur of all time, without any photo.

The Mission of "Bopomofo" Cuisine


At the end of last year, I joined a special mission that resembled #APhotoADay. It's called #注音美食任務, namely in English, The Mission of Bopomofo Cuisine. "Bopomofo" are the sound of the first four characters of the Taiwanese Phonetic Symbol System.
This activity starts out from a night chat of one of my private postcrosser society on Facebook. We were initially talking about a photo a day, then somehow it ends up with a Taiwanese version along with fooooooooods. LOL.

I started out of this one:

It's rice, which starts with the sound of "bo(ㄅ)."

The mission was quite easy at first during the consonants, however it became extremely hard when we entered the part of rhymes and medials! How do you find a food that starts with the sound of "yu?!"
(I still find one, anyway. Haha.)

Happy 2015 the New Year!!!!! <3
