school's been kinda hectic for the past few weeks. research essay, projects and the weekly tests...

plus the responsibilities from NPC'08 trainings and preparation, it has been really overwhelming.

well i guess things have toned down quite a lot for now. projects are nearing the end. last few tests within this week. and finally voicing out my incapability to cope with NPC trainings.

feeling so much better now, even though end-semester exams are like in 2 weeks or so. LOL.

haven't been updating, and i don't rly wanna fill in the missing posts. =s BUT BUT BUT, there's something that i must say. I TOOK UP SALSA! =DD joined it as a CCA in sch. classes started around 6 weeks ago, n it has been AWESOME. anw it's more of the social dance kind rather than competitive. oh, we even went to a salsa club to witness first-hand how people do the real thing! cool yo! ;D it was darn impressive i tell u. amazing! it's really hard to describe it actually. go see it yourself one day! XD

starting Beginner 2 classes this Thursday. i'm so excited!


to end this off, i shall post the lyrics to 4 of the songs from Avenue Q Soundtrack. it's the more entertaining songs in my opinion. hear it from the playlist on the left sidebar!


What Do You Do With A B.A. In English/It Sucks To Be Me

"WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A B.A. IN ENGLISH?"

[Princeton]
What do you do with a B.A. in English?
What is my life going to be?
4 years of college,
And plenty of knowledge,
Have earned me this useless degree!
I can’t pay the bills yet,
‘Cause I have no skills yet,
The world is a big scary place!
But somehow I can’t shake,
The feeling I might make,
A difference to the human race!

"IT SUCKS TO BE ME"

[Kate Monster]
Morning Brian!

[Brian]
Hi, Kate Monster

How’s life?

Disappointing

What’s the matter?

The catering company laid me off

Oh, I’m sorry

Me too! I mean, look at me!
I’m 10 years out of college,
And I always thought...

What?

No it sounds stupid.

Oh c’mon!

When I was little,
I thought I would be,
A big comedian on late-night TV!
But now I’m 32 and as u can see,
I’m not, oh well,
It sucks to be me!
It sucks to be me!
It sucks to be broke, and unemployed, and turning 33!
It sucks to be me!

You think your life sucks?

I think so

Your problems aren’t so bad
I’m kinda pretty
And pretty damn smart.

You are

Thanks
I like romantic things like music and art.
And as you know I have a gigantic heart,
So why don’t I have a boyfriend?
FUCK!
It sucks to be me!

Me too!

It sucks to be me!

It sucks to be me!
It sucks to be Brian

And Kate

To not have a job

To not have a date

[Both]
It sucks to be me!

(Rod & Nicky arguing)

Hey Rod, Nicky, can you settle something for us if you have a second?

[Rod]
Oh, certainly

Whose life sucks more, Brian’s or mine?

[Rod and Nicky]
OURS!

We live together

[Nicky]
We’re close as people can get

We’ve been the best of buddies

Ever since the day we met

So he knows lots of ways to make me really upset!! Oh!
Every day is an aggravation

C’mon that’s an exaggeration

You leave your clothes out,
You put your feet on my chair

Oh yea? You do such anal things like ironing your underwear!

You make that very small apartment we share, a hell!

So do you, that’s why I’m in hell too!

It sucks to be me!

No it sucks to be me!

It sucks to be me!

It sucks to be me!

[All]
Is there anybody here it doesn’t suck to be?
It sucks to be me!

(harmonizing)

[Christmas Eve]
Why u all so happy?

‘Cause our lives suck!

Your lives suck?
I hearing u correctly? Ha!
I coming to this country, for opportunities,
Try to work in Korean deli,
But I a Japanese!
But with hard work I earned two master's degrees!
In social work,
And now I a therapist!
But I have no clients!
And I have unemployed fiancé,
And we have lots of bills to pay!
It suck to be me!
It suck to be me!
I say it sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka,
Sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka,
Sucka, sucka, sucka, suck!
It suck to be me!

Uh excuse me,
Sorry to bother u, but I’m looking for a place to live

Why u looking out here?

Well, I started in Avenue A,
But so far everything’s out of my price range,
But this neighborhood looks a lot cheaper.
Oh and look a "for rent" sign!

You need to talk to the superintendent,
Let me get him.

Great! Thanks!

YO GARY!!

[Gary Coleman]
I’m coming! I’m coming!

Oh my God it’s Gary Coleman!

Yes I am!
I’m Gary Coleman,
From TV's Different Strokes.
I made a lot of money,
That got stolen by my folks!
Now I’m broke, and I’m the butt of everyone’s jokes!
But I’m here, the superintendent
On Avenue Q!

[All]
It sucks to be you!

You win!

[All]
It sucks to be you!

I feel better now!

Try having people stopping you to ask you,
"Whatch-you talkin’ ‘bout Willis?"
It gets old.

[All]
It sucks to be you!
On Avenue Q
Sucks to be me!
On Avenue Q
Sucks to be you
On Avenue Q
Sucks to be us
But not when were together!
We’re together here on Avenue Q!
We live on Avenue Q!
Our friends do too,
Till our dreams come true!
We live on Avenue Q

This is real life!

[All]
We live on Avenue Q

You’re gonna love it!

[All]
We live on Avenue Q

Here’s your keys!

[All]
Welcome, to Avenue Q!


If You Were Gay

[ROD]
Aah, an afternoon alone with my favorite book,
Broadway Musicals of the 1940s.
No roommate to bother me.
How could it get any better than this?

[NICKY]
Oh, hi Rod!

Hi Nicky.

Hey Rod, you'll never guess what happened to me on the subway this morning.
This guy was smiling at me and talking to me

That's very interesting.

He was being real friendly,
And I think he was coming on to me.
I think he might've thought I was gay!

Ahem, so, uh, why are you telling me this?
Why should I care?
I don't care.
What did you have for lunch today?

Oh, you don't have to get all defensive about it, Rod...

I'm NOT getting defensive!
What do I care about some gay guy you met, okay?
I'm trying to read.

Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, Rod.
I just think it's something we should be able to talk about.

I don't want to talk about it, Nicky!
This conversation is over!!!

Yeah, but...

OVER!!!

Well, okay, but just so you know —
IF YOU WERE GAY
THAT'D BE OKAY.
I MEAN 'CAUSE, HEY,
I'D LIKE YOU ANYWAY.
BECAUSE YOU SEE,
IF IT WERE ME,
I WOULD FEEL FREE
TO SAY THAT I WAS GAY
BUT I'M NOT GAY.

Nicky, please!
I am trying to read....
What?!

IF YOU WERE QUEER

Ah, Nicky!

I'D STILL BE HERE,

Nicky, I'm trying to read this book.

YEAR AFTER YEAR

Nicky!

BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAR
TO ME,

Argh!

AND I KNOW THAT YOU

What?

WOULD ACCEPT ME TOO,

I would?

IF I TOLD YOU TODAY,
HEY! GUESS WHAT,
I'M GAY!
BUT I'M NOT GAY.
I'M HAPPY
JUST BEING WITH YOU.

High Button Shoes, Pal Joey...

SO WHAT SHOULD IT MATTER TO ME
WHAT YOU DO IN BED WITH GUYS?

Nicky, that is WRONG!

No it's not!
IF YOU WERE GAY
I'D SHOUT HOORAY!

I am not listening!

AND HERE I'D STAY,

La la la la la!

BUT I WOULDN'T GET IN YOUR WAY.

Aaaah!

YOU CAN COUNT ON ME
TO ALWAYS BE
BESIDE YOU EVERY DAY,
TO TELL YOU IT'S OKAY,
YOU WERE JUST BORN THAT WAY,
AND, AS THEY SAY,
IT'S IN YOUR DNA,
YOU'RE GAY!

BUT I'M NOT GAY!

If you were gay.

Argh!


Everyone's A Little Bit Racist

[Princeton]
Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?

[Kate Monster]
Sure!

Well, you know Trekkie Monster upstairs?

Uh huh.

Well, he's Trekkie Monster, and you're Kate Monster.

Right.

You're both Monsters.

Yeah.

Are you two related?

What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!

Oh, well, I'm sorry! I was just asking!

Well, it's a touchy subject.
No, not all Monsters are related.
What are you trying say, huh?
That we all look the same to you?
Huh, huh, huh?

No, no, no, not at all. I'm sorry,
I guess that was a little racist.

I should say so.
You should be much more careful when you're talking about the sensitive subject of race.

Well, look who's talking!

What do you mean?

What about that special Monster School you told me about?

What about it?

Could someone like me go there?

No, we don't want people like you-

You see?!
You're a little bit racist.

Well, you're a little bit too.

I guess we're both a little bit racist.

Admitting it is not an easy thing to do...

But I guess it's true.

Between me and you,
I think

[Both]
Everyone's a little bit racist
Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go around committing
Hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact we all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.

Now not big judgments, like who to hire or who to buy a newspaper from -

No!

No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican busboys should learn to speak goddamn English!

Right!

[Kate Monster & Princeton]
Everyone's a little bit racist
Today.
So, everyone's a little bit racist
Okay!
Ethnic jokes might be uncouth,
But you laugh because they're based on truth.
Don't take them as personal attacks.
Everyone enjoys them -
So relax!

All right, stop me if you've heard this one.

Okay!

There's a plane going down
There's only one paracute. And there's a rabbi, a priest...

And a black guy!

[Gary Coleman]
Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Kate?

Uh...

You were telling a black joke!

Well, sure, Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes.

I don't.

Well, of course you don't - you're black!
But I bet you tell Polack jokes, right?

Well, sure I do. Those stupid Polacks!

Now, don't you think that's a little racist?

Well, damn, I guess you're right.

You're a little bit racist.

Well, you're a little bit too.

We're all a little bit racist.

I think that I would have to agree with you.

[Kate Monster & Princeton]
We're glad you do.

It's sad but true!
Everyone's a little bit racist -
All right

All right!

All right!

All right!
Bigotry has never been exclusively white

[All]
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
Even though we all know that it's wrong,
Maybe it would help us
Get along.

Oh, Christ do I feel good.

Now there was a fine upstanding black man!

Who?

Jesus Christ.

But, Gary, Jesus was white.

No, Jesus was black.

No, Jesus was white.

No, I'm pretty sure that Jesus was black-

Guys, guys... Jesus was Jewish!

(Laughter)

[Brian]
Hey guys, what are you laughing about?

Racism!

Cool.

[Christmas Eve]
BRIAN! Come back here!
You take out lecycuraburs!

What's that mean?

Um, recyclables.
Hey, don't laugh at her!
How many languages do you speak?

Oh, come off it, Brian!
Everyone's a little bit racist.

I'm not!

Oh no?

Nope!
How many Oriental wives have you got?

What? Brian!

Brian, buddy, where you been?
The term is Asian-American!

I know you are no intending to be
But calling me Oriental -
Offensive to me!

I'm sorry, honey, I love you.

And I love you.

But you're racist, too.

Yes, I know.
The Jews have all the money
And the whites have all the power.
And I'm always in taxi-cab with liver who no shower!

Me too!

Me too!

I can't even get a taxi!

[All]
Everyone's a little bit racist
It's true.
But everyone is just about as racist
As you!
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
And everyone stopped being so PC
Maybe we could live in -
Harmony!

Evlyone's a ritter bit lacist!
