  • How you say something is just as important as what you say.  For example, the director of "Struggling Truths," Sonny Alforque came up to me and said, "You know, if you plan to act in more plays, which I think you should, you should take some acting classes."  Imagine if he hadn't put in the "which I think you should."  It would've come out as "You know, if you plan to act in more plays, you should take some acting classes."  Or worse yet, what if he left out the "if you plan to act in more plays part and just said, "You know, you should take some acting classes."  Ouch.


    Again, let me reiterate:  How you say something is just as important as what you say.


    And on to other things.  There were elections for Pilipino Youth Coalition Sacramento yesterday.  I ran to be advisor.  That didn't happen.  Oh well, what can you do?  I have a lot going on already, but I know that I can handle whatever is thrown my way.  Even as hesitant as I was about stepping up for the position, especially knowing how busy I am, I was sort of hurt not getting it...for about 2 minutes.  Then I moved on. 


    The day before that, I actually was able to go enjoy some brotherhood/social time at the Ka-Luau, an event put on by the women of Kappa Psi Epsilon.  It was good seeing them and the brothers too.  Phil Tadena, XPO #107, a Marine stationed in Missouri was there and it was really cool catching up with him.  He's in the state only for a week to receive the Asian American Meritorious Service Award.
