Yesterday, I have started my 30-day challenge of creating a new habit which is to read or watch or listen to a Adobe Photoshop Tutorial each day (I still have to decide or fix a schedule). As a member of Bo Sanchez'Truly Rich Club, I am quite familiar about it already but it takes a lot of urging and discipline for me start. So, as it was launched together with other Feast attendees last Monday, I am encouraged to do so. Hopefully, I will be able to accomplish it and move on to another 30-day habit to change or create!
Day 1 started with a review of Making Cash In a Flash Seminar that I have attended last 18th of December 2011 and focused on listing the art websites recommended by one of the members of Business Incubators Hanz Florentino. Honestly, I started already watching the 1st tutorial video of Adobe Photoshop Tutorial but a technical glitch happened. Instead of whining, I fixed it and so as not to waste time, just reviewed the seminar I've mentioned above. Anyway, it's still related because it all started from that seminar. I mean I have always wanted to get back the creative juice I once had and that opportunity unlocke it again!
I cannot show you any results yet. Hopefully on the next few days of the challenge!
It is officially January 2nd in the Philippines but on the other side of the world particularly in the East Coast of America, it is January 1st noon time. I am hoping that this article will not only reach within the Philippines but for the rest of the world as well!
This is officially my first blog entry in 2012. Indeed, this year started in a prosperous way for me since I reunited with an old business program which met my 2012 with heaps of earnings! Other than that, I made myself more productive (after endless surfing on the Net) by trying to write this blog! I finally got a copy of my favorite song since last year (I actually heard this last 2010 in a Glee episode in Season 1). I just want to share this song although it came from a "Wicked" Musicale. I came to internalize more the song the moment my sister-in-law played the entire album of Wicked on our way to Blue Mountains, one of the tourist attractions in Western Sydney and I fell in love with the song. In the musicale, it's about a witch who broke away from the rules of the Wizard of Oz whom she finds a sort of dictator at that time and eventually she became the Wicked Witch of the West. But upon reading the lyrics, I said to myself that I want this to be my song especially in my journey to success! Now, I am publishing the lyrics of the Broadway version as well as their video..Get ready to fall in love with the song!
My 2012 song, DEFYING GRAVITY
DEFYING GRAVITY
(Original Broadway)
GLINDA
(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
(sung) I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!
ELPHABA
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
BOTH
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now
GLINDA
(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted:
ELPHABA
(spoken) I know:
(sung) But I don't want it -
No - I can't want it
Anymore:
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!
GLINDA
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur:
ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down:
(spoken) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
