challenge to self

19 02 2008

I have decided to take on a challenge that could potentially change my life.  It could be like one big pit stop in my life.

I’m trying out for Pinoy Idol.

Some of my friends already know about this.  And they are definitely cheering me on (Thanks guys thanks for your support! :) )  I haven’t told my parents yet (unless my dad decides to check on my blog… then he’ll know by the time I post this).  There are a lot of people with great talent in the Philippines, but I think I have a good shot at getting in the primary audition. I know it sounds like an overconfident remark, maybe because I am not even sure if I am going to take this seriously.  If I do get in the show, does that mean it may get in the way of my internship?  If it is, then most probably, I am not going to push through with it.  I’ve gone this far, I can’t stop with my internship now.  And even if I do get in, would my parents object?  They see me going straight into my medical career, spending each day of the summer studying for the boards.  Will they let me take this chance?  I hope they do give me a chance to join this competition like any of the competitions that I got into when I was still a kid.  I miss these contests… And this will be my first time auditioning for a nationwide search!  How exciting is that?!  At least before I leave the Philippines I could at least have some of my showbiz dreams… As much as I tell my friends that I am just trying out and not going for the gold, part of me still wants to be part of the top 24… who wouldn’t?  But if it’s going to get in the way of my internship, then I guess I have to let go of that dream… So sad… I am such a nerd…
