Jane

My darling little sister. A beautiful girl.
She's the baby of the family, sure, but she has taken
my hand and helped me walk through many dark alleys.

She knows what she believes in.
Sometimes, when we all seem to forget what's right and
what wrong, she'll remind you, right then and there, and
surprise you, with the deepest yet simplest answers.

The way she dresses—she's a great dresser, I must say
—and the way she carries herself... there's just something
about her that makes her so... complete.

You see right through people, Jane. I don't know how you
do it. But you're a great judge of character. Not only do you
get bad gut feelings about certain people, but you know how
to recognise what makes somebody so special, what makes
them an individual... and you take the time to let them know
about it; that's so amazing. You've been through many kinds
of drama, darling, but you've always been able to stay so
strong... and I'm so proud of you.

I've got you to thank for allowing me to tell you anything and
everything, for being my fashion adviser =P, for having that
"sister vibe", for trusting me with your lastest and hottest
news, and for making me laugh... so hard.

I love you so much, Jane, and which ever hottie you're gonna
choose to love is gonna be the luckiest dude in the world...!

What She Likes

We sure looked good on paper
‘Til we read between the lines
It always hurts when you find
You’re running out of “laters” and “maybe next times”
When you can almost read her mind

She likes the romance, the slow dance
Staying out all night
She likes the Christmas lights all year round
Why put ‘em up, take ‘em down
She watches baseball, hates the mall
And hangs out with “the guys”
That’s what I know about what she likes
About what she likes

She’s all about the rainbow
But not the one on Sunset Boulevard
I got it wrong, she took it hard
And it really hurts to let go when you’re so close
To making it so far

I should have known that
I never could have known that I
Could ever know enough about her to keep her mine

King & I: The Rock Opera

Oh. My. God.

I can't believe how great that was. I just walked home with Lydie, and the whole way back, I kept repeating: "I can't believe how great that was!"

Purple Dragon, the theatre school I'm with, put on an outstanding musical of The King and I. It was great acting, great singing, great dancing. The cast was beautifully chosen. The King was great, Anna was great, the forbidden lovers were great, the ADORABLE little prince was great. Holy crap. I can't get over it. That was another thing I kept repeating on my way home.

Honestly, they managed to make me laugh "Etc, etc, etc.", to make me wanna cry... my heart was pounding when Tuptim lost her lover, when the King died... The audience was so engaged in the story, and felt for every single one of the characters...

I loved how Kendall added and adapted all these songs... "Let it Be", "Part of That World", "Tears in Heaven", "We Both Reached for the Gun" etc, etc, etc. and when Lun Tha started singing "Your Song", I believe that my heart melted a little bit...

Wow.

I can't believe how great that was.

Time to Shine

Hey dudes,

After my sister showed me her blogs, I decided to change my "Life in Pink..." site to a blog. I've transferred all my writings from my site to here, and posted them with the respective dates that they were written on my old site—that's why I'm starting "Let's Shine" with so many entries already.

Hope you'll enjoy my spur of the moment philosophies on life...

Cheers,
Sherren
