I'll spread my wings soon

It's been a tough battle to all of us. I know I'm not the only one who's thinking about how our future will turn out. I'm not the only one who's planning for work after graduation. We all have plans and goals in life. We all dreamt for a better life, for a perfect life. But how are we going to achieve all of these? As a student, I experienced a lot of rejections, failures, comparisons, and such. My work was been criticized and reprehended. I may sometimes can't answer directly to the professors questions. I always feel the tension every time our terror professor is about to enter the room. My body is always shaking and my voice stutters when I speak. My skin color turns pale. Just like the normal students who's incapable of facing their fears. Honestly the level of my confidence is too low. I know deep down in myself that I got something to say but I'm afraid to be judge by others. Well, that's the main problem of everyone all the time. I don't know how to boost my confidence. I mean, I am confident at times but I'm not consistent.

Now, I realized, what am I doing to myself? Why am I not doing anything that I can be proud of in the future? Why am I settling for this kind of "life"? They always say that " THE CHANGE STARTS IN YOU". So what now? I have plans. I can already see myself in the next 8 years. I can see my perfect life. But I don't know how to go further. I don't know what else should I risk to be someone that is capable of saying YES all the time.

It is said that it is for the conveniency of the students and regular customers near the place. Basically, this shop is just designed by the owner.

David is an idealistic young playwright, who's willing to deal with any offers as long as it is for his success. He's willing to compromise for the love of his art. Since budget is the reason why they can't continue to  make the play, Julian finally found funds from Nick Valenti (Joe Viterelli), a gangster. The catch is to make Nick's girlfriend Olive Neal (Jeniffer Tilly) one of the stars in the project they're going to produce. Olive's role is a psychiatrist, a woman with shrill voice and definitely untalented. She is not even pass for a psychiatrist as well as being a dreadful actress.

Plus Olive with a poor acting skills, it makes David irritated a lot but he doesn't have any choice because it will not be produced unless Olive is part of the play. What makes the movie intense is when Cheech interrupts one of their rehearsals and voice his opinion about the story of the play. David, at first is not in favor on Cheech's opinion. Every rehearsals gets even worse. Later on he realized that he should agree with Cheech's suggestions because this can help them solve the problem.
