Some Lyrics from "Makes Me Wonder"
I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a f**k about you

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
So this is goodbye

In our thoughts...

My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the massacre at Virginia Tech this past Monday.



It really disturbs me how individuals can create such an imbalance in our society. Virginia Tech's massacre was just four days before the 8th anniversary of the deadly Columbine High School killings. We are once again reminded of the shootings in 1966 at the University of Texas. I beg to ask the question, how can this be possible? How can someone ( of a young age, if I may add) go on a shooting rampage that kills and injures so many innocent lives? I know our society is not the best, but how much has it disappointed them for them to takes these measures of action against it? I am not sure if this is caused by bullying, lack of parental attention, or just pure illness. I do not have the answer just like many others, but I do show concern. Unfortunately, it is times like these that we remember our mortality. Even a great country such as this has its own downfalls and impurities.

My Life as a Shakespeare Play

King Lear open last Wednesday in Todd Theater. All my hard work and countless hours are finally paying off. There is still some tension, but with every passing show I realize how lucky I am to be involved in this production no matter how big or small my roll is. Af ter opening night, the seniors, productions stage managers, and the faculty were invited to Nigel's house for an after party. I love Nigel's house. It's gorgeous. He has artifacts from all over the world that he collected from all his travels.
Unfortuanately, the night before opening night I
received some rather abd news about my father. He was diagnosed with a tumor. The doctors did not know wether is was malignant or not. This was the tip of the iceberg for me. This whole semester has been filled with such turmoil so it was only natural for me to react the way I did. I needed someone to hold me or tell me everything would be fine. But no matter who I turned to, I was denied. Like a small child I rolled up into a ball and hid from the world underneath my bed covers.
*sigh*
But fortunately, my dad had his surgery and things seem to be fine now. He has to return to the hospital in for a check up and process of his post-surgical status. My lesson learnt from these past two weeks... well, (no matter how sad and unfortunate this sounds)... I have to learn how to deal with my own issues by myself. I can't rely on others in order to feel better. It has to come from within me. My life is one of solitude. I should not expectations of others, because I will just be disappointed in the end. Don't get me wrong I am not banning all my friendships, but I am a little bit more apprehensive in opening up to others now.

King Lear will be showing throughout this week and next. It really is a great show. Something that the cast, crew, director, and myself are very proud of. Visit http://www.rochester.edu/theater/box_office.php in order to reserve your tickets. Showtimes are: April 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28 @ 8pm Matinees: April 21, 22, 28 @ 2pm

One More Worry...

Dear Daddy,

I love you. I hope your surgery goes well tomorrow.
Tell those doctors to be careful. Please come back to me.

Always, Your Little Girl,
Gaby




I needed to talk
No one lent me their ear
I yelled
No one heard
I shed a tear
No one wiped it away

No Cause, No Cause

As soon as there is some sunshine in my life, there has to be a sudden darkness that disapproves of it.
I feel alone, but through a conversation with my mother, I realized that I am not the only that has experienced what I am living through at the moment. She herself underwent the pains and worries that I myself am confronting. It's funny how things like this keep on repeating with each passing generation.
I wish I wasn't so far away from all my loved ones in this time of need. However, myabe going through this alone will help me become a stronger person.
I am just sick and disgusted with this disorder. I tell myself each day, I must better myself, I must improve; but no matter how much I beg and pray I still do not see a change.

*sigh*
