... summer escape

... i lost the bid for Company Manager, so life goes on...

Thanks for the people who voted for me and giving me a chance to be heard. I have since applied for the position of Internals Vice President and got the part!

Of course I will be involved in BlueREP in whatever way I can. Been part of it since freshman year, why stop right? Congratulations to Jill for beating me and taking on the job! hehe

Had dinner with some friends on the 18th (bea, geegee, jepoy, mako, pom, and gabs... kyla couldn't join us) with special guest Chari at Big Buddha in Greenbelt. It was a blast talking about and learning anything and everything about theatre and life... It's nice that I have found this group of people that I have been sincerely close to and have accepted me for what I am and believing in my potential. College has been good to me so far and I have them in my pocket to run to in this journey...

Special thanks to Geegee my partner in crime in all the crazy fun and seriousness of life. She graduated yesterday! The two years of friendship will continue onto the next chapter of adventures, hopefully in theatre and where ever the road takes us... and don't forget our plan B as nurses in America hehe!

Been a very very busy two weeks with finals and all... everything went well naman... just gotta finish up two prod books for my directing and technical theatre classes and it's basking in the sun i shall be doing.

Graduation dinner of a good friend of mine, Tina last night. Got together with her family at Ang Hang in Malate... good food... then drank some with the Chaching (joe, ynna, saree--- tina went to bed)... being kids again with this bunch (known each other for more than 10 years now)... fun!

Finally got to read Hope for the Flowers this afternoon (forgot the author). Such an easy read, but wow the profoundess of it all. So philosophical--- totality, infinity, ethics, the face, responsibility for the other--- how so Emmanuel Levinas.

I love the summer, I get to read books and enjoy my time alone and be at home with my siblings... actually have breakfast and watch over my almost two year old pamangkin to veer him away from the stupid koreanovelas on the afternoon boobtube which his "yaya" is so addicted to.

Finally saw RENT the movie... bad reviews about it, but I never saw the musical when it was staged... so I have no basis of comparison... and I liked it.

RONY is here on the 28th and am soooooo soooo excited!!!!! staying at the shang for 3 days then off to Boracay!!!!!!!! It's gna be a honeymoon in paradise! can't wait! My first three days of april with him! It's going to be special, cause on the 4th we'll also be celebrating our 2 years and 3 months as a crazy couple... I love it!

... i guess there were blues...


going into the the dressing room of the theatre monday just felt different. there was no noise. no random insults of cast members. no farting. no guitar playing...





empty...

so Sweet Charity ended its half week run last Sunday. It was good. It seems that after each production with BlueREP life lessons are learned...




  • never act in a vacuum
  • you are but a miniscule part of this show
  • if you are doing this for yourself you better get out, now!
  • be generous, be sincere, ask questions
  • go to bed!

just going through my notes... it's like taking a Levinas class, only this time you feel that it matters more because I am doing something that I truly love.

Theatre is my life, I have now decided. It takes me places... mostly within me and helps me discover more and more my abilities and my limitations and of course the things i have to work on to feed this passion.

It's during company prayer before a show that gets me nostalgic, even teary eyed, because more and more the reality of the show ending is inevitable. AH, i'll miss the audience...

To Chari--- for seeing our potential and encouraging us... for being my favorite teacher in my favorite class

Kyla--- dahil inay kita at hindi mo iniiwan ang BlueREP nating mahal

Geegee--- never thought a bitch like me would find a bitch like you

Kakki--- dahil shet pinaghirapan natin toh

SA LAHAT ng cast--- mga luma (lalu na sa mga kabatch ko sa Bye Bye Birdie) at mga bago kong nakatrabaho because your energy endured up till the last show

And to RonyBu who calls, wishes me luck, and still asks me how my day is everyday...

time to eat meat on a friday!

here's to more shows.

nope... not kidding

after the shananigans of Sweet Charity it's time to get even more serious. Today was the campaigning of BlueRep's next Company Manager. I don't know... I read my speech, should have memorized it... Jill seemed so eloquent and from the heart... ah. Sometimes you just have to expect the worse and look for options even before the results are in. That way, you won't get too sad when it doesn't go your way. But win or lose, at least running for CM was a decision that was well thought out. I gave it a shot. Thanks to those who helped out. Those who believed in me. Those who taught me to be a generous performer. Let's see what happens.
