My long term goals

Flip through the first few pages of my planner, and you'll be entertained and amused at how terribly busy I am. But from March 6 onwards, the pages are blank. nothing. For me, this is terrifying. Not knowing what will happen in the future, what i will be doing on the 3rd Saturday of September, etc. I don't know. Am i even sure i'm graduating this March? (THEO THEO THEO.) I'm not really sure. I've sent out my resumes to all the preschools in Metro Manila and even in Cebu, and i'm just awaiting for their replies. CIE (Cebu) already did, they needed someone with 3 years teaching experience. FAIL.

So anyway, today I watched Ateneo Children's Theater's "Batang Rizal" which was written by no other than THE Ms. Christine Bellen. :) IT WAS SPECTACULARRRRRR!!!!! huhuhu. They were all so cuuute and very talented. I mean, infairness for 10-14 year olds who are very into this art. :) KEBS sa pacing, they did a job well done. The costumes were bonggacious, the SET WAS ARGGHHH!!! SOBRANG GANDA. VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL. LIGHTS AND SOUNDS WERE. AARRGGHHH!!!! craaazy beautiful!!!!!! Congratulations to ACT for a wonderful wonderful show!!!

This got me thinking. HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO PULL OFF MY DREAM. :(( :(( My dream of producing a musical (just like Batang Rizal) only, with Special Kids.
1. someone has to fund it. (time needed: forever)
2. i cannot do this alone. we must first establish THE Special Theater. (time needed: perhaps 3-5 years)
3. i have to learn from THE Ms. Christine Bellen if I want to make the material myself. apprenticeship please!!!!! huhu (please Ma'am Bellen! I've always wanted to write children's stories!! hello! i want to be a preschool teacher!!!! i want anything that has to do with kids! huhuhu!) (time needed: forever)
4. i must take further studies in theater, para naman may 'karapatan' akong gawin itong dream na ito. of course, further studies in.......... a. Developmental Psychology (for children across different ages), b. Educational Psychology (if i really want to teach), and c. Special Education (hey hey hey) (time needed if accomplished separately: 3 years per field = 9 years)

YES, BECAUSE I HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD AND YES BECAUSE IF THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE, THEN THESE ARE THE PATHS I MUST TAKE. bakit po mahirap, Lord. :'(

but then again, this is my dream, and i'm going to make it happen whatever it takes.

then it got me thinking again. (and i posted this as my stat on fb) Tina Montiel is known worldwide for her work in the field of Political Psychology. Got me thinking: pwede ko kaya i-establish (kung wala pang nag-imbento nito) ang Theater Psychology sa mundo (WAW ANG TAAS KO NAMAN, MUNDO!) Political Psychology was discussed in our class and i was just wondering how she was able to establish such a field. It really is possible noh!? to be able to do that, perhaps i should go into further theater studies, together with further psychology studies. I was searching for it online, baka kasi meron nang nakaisip non, and found that the University of San Diego offers a course on the Psychology of Theater. but then kasi. maybe it's different. just like how Psychology in the Philippines is DIFFERENT from Filipino Psychology. diba ang interesting? Because if Industrial/Organizational Psychology is about behaviors and mental processes of people in a work place, then meron bang naka-imbento ng Theater Psychology as a study of behavior and mental processes of theater people, considering that they delve into different worlds at the same time? how do you reconcile that? (i.e. being conscious of your blocks but at the same time being able to internalize a character) "pinaghuhugutan" or personal truths is a common aspect in theater, maybe the field could study more about that. Personal experiences as tools. AND A LOT MORE. etc. ang dami ko talagang naiisip for this field. (WAW SO PARANG NAG IMBENTO TALAGA AKO NG COURSE! HAHAHA)

PSY14344: Theater Psychology
Course outline
Psychology in Plays/Scripts
Tech Psychology (Lights and Sounds and its relationship with everything haha)
Psychology for Actors
Psychology of Theater Watching - Analysis of Audiences

IMBENTO MUCH. Pero what if diba? :) :) :)
One day, makikita nyo nalang yung Theater Psychology and MY NAME sa mga textbooks na yan. haaay. Dreams. :)

First, lemme graduate first. k? thnxbye.

(the rorschach (WTF) is a type of a projection test. Can theater be a form of projection? hmm)
