When I grow up, I want to be like Ms. Milly Barranger wherein she achieve everything that she wants at the right age. I am pretty sure she is fulfilled right now and wouldn't ask for more. With all the credentials that she has and all the accomplishments that she did, I am pretty sure that she is happy where is is right now. She had written a lot of books, and that made me really happy and amazed at the same time. I wish to be like her soon!

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the chance to watch any play where Milly Barranger became part of. But based on how he described his feeling when he performs, I can sense that the plays are definitely a must watch! I feel bad because I wasn't really aware of the worthy plays to watch despite the fact that I define myself as a sucker of theater performances. If I will be having time later, I got to watch this and find it out for myself if it's really good! I will update you guys on my blog!
