monday has already passed and i've yet to receive a call from m.a.c regarding the results. i have a feeling i didn't make it.. the makeup wasn't perfect 'cause i didn't give a final check of my work before i said i was done, so there were imperfections. sigh.. they're really strict when it comes to makeup and hygiene: u must never apply foundation using your fingers and mascara's applied in disposable wands; even concealor is picked using a cotton swab. no wonder m.a.c is such a reputable brand. plus, the makeup is really good. as i applied the makeup on my model, i couldn't help but want to buy the makeup for myself. heh. oh man, i really wish for a miracle that they were delayed in calling so i may still have a chance. sigh.
singtel sent me a msg today regarding some "sweet treats" they were offering. what caught my eye was the 2 tickets to bangkok for only $88 nett each, which means $176 nett for 2. and the registration ends 31st july, which means today. haha. i managed to send in, even though i never have the luck, it doesn't hurt to try right?
saw lester's email regarding the play "the jeweller's shop" written by the late pope john paul II. i'm really interested in it. it'll be up on the 4th, 5th & 6th sept. lester's booking tickets for 6th sept and if do block booking can get discount, less than the current price of $25 for student and $28 for adult. anyone wanna go with me?
this is the hardcover. the dvd didn't look so nice. :P
Review by www.catholiccompany.com:
Love is "one of the greatest dramas of human existence," writes Pope John Paul II. In this illuminating three-act play--here in the only English translation authorized by the Vatican--he explores relationships between men and women, the joys--and the pain--of love and marriage.
The action unfolds in two settings at once: a street in a small town, outside the local jeweler's shop (people go to buy their wedding rings there), and the mysterious inner landscape of personal hopes and fears, loves and longings.
Each act focuses on a different couple: the first happily planning their wedding, the second long-married and unhappy, the third about to marry but full of doubts. Writing with power and understanding about a love that survives the grave, a love that has withered and died, a love budding out of complexes and insecurities, the Pope addresses such fundamental human concerns as:
What does it mean to fall in love?
When do we know that a love is real--and can it last?
If it dies, how do we go on living--and loving again?
There are no easy answers, and there is no happy ending--such is the nature of men and women, and such is the nature of love--but there is hope, if we only acknowledge our need and accept the risks of a deep and lasting commitment.
This is a play full of wisdom on a subject of great relevance to all, and it provides a special insight into the thoughts of the man who, like no other, has captured the imagination of people of all faiths throughout the world.
Karol Wojtyla--Pope John Paul II--was long involved with the theater. As a student of literature, then priest, bishop and archbishop, he acted, directed, wrote dramatic criticism, made a Polish translation of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, and authored six plays.
