and this is me: Nurse Angelica.
:D

to be honest, i have like auditioned to try to make it for the main role or even the role that is gonna make me beautiful. 

something like Juliet (which i never expect to get and never gotten) or Rosaline (Juliet's cousin which i never gotten either).

i really didn't expect to get the chambermaid.

now, i know it sounds a little... degrading being a chambermaid but all of that perspective changed as soon as practices started.

good friend slash director, Tasha told me (this is from a rough memory):

'i chose you to be the nurse because i know you can play the role well.'

and since i convinced myself that i'm better of not being a student director, i decided to bring more focus in not disappointing anybody.

there were a number of outings to increase the bond between all of us which i have updated some in the previous posts. 
:) 
and so here are the photos for the drama itself.

 oh, the joy of make-up and having your hair styled is just the nicest feelings ever.

xD

yeaa, i really like the feeling of it when they place eyeshadow, when they curl your hair...
