How I spent one wednesday afternoon

Last Wednesday, I got to spend time with my theater mentor before and now my friend, Teacher Cathy Azanza, at Figaro.

It felt so good to talk with someone who can really relate to me. I mean, I'm just thankful I met up with Teacher Cathy. Not only was it a privilege to be spending an afternoon with the one of the country's most brilliant and amazing actors. It was also flattering how she made time for the meeting and how her stories of her love for the arts comforted me.

Probably because it is really tough to find people who perform and try to get better with their craft because they love doing it. Yes, you'll find people who are really good but you realize that all they do is either prove that they're good enough or they're better than the others. Teacher Cathy is not like them. She stands out. And watching her play with her role that afternoon was a real bonus for me. Not to mention she was really fun, she sent me laughing endlessly.

Another thing...her pieces of advice were helpful and significant and honest. Seldom do I get to release all my longings to act and be with a production again and with her, I felt free to do that because she always understands.

Now, from the bottom of my heart, thanks for the time we had Teacher Cathy! Thank you for making the day special for me by your presence. I'm looking forward to watching you here and ABROAD (hehe) and to spending more afternoons like the one we had. God bless you more.
