I'm back
I haven't checked my email in the longest time that when I checked it just now, there were at least 80 messages waiting for me, including mojoflea's invitation to a Pinoybloggers' EB. Not that I actually go to those kind of stuff.
On to other things.
Eep, Myles will be going to Boracay next week, so the MT2 class will be handled my Rony and me. Yikes. I sure hope I can handle it. Most of the kids are pretty bearable, but their breaking into cliques annoys the hell outta me. Like the older Southville kids stay together in one group, keeping their "coolness factor" (as Rony calls it) in mind, and Nicole won't stop yakking but tries to get out of everything we do. Oh well. The perks of being a Playshop teacher.
Oh yeah, we held auditions for them last Thursday, and the panel was Myles, Rony and me, along with Jamie as an "injured guest panelist". Lotsa them have pretty raw voices and need training (kinda like me), and we heard a bunch who are really good, and a lot more when they did their acting audition. Golly, these are early teens we're handling, and some of them got audition pieces from Shakespeare and older monologues online.
As for MT1, I still can't get used to the cliques that are sorta forming. I'm still trying to go with different groups each day, but it's pretty hard doing it on my own. Man, if Kris were in the class, it would be easier, coz that was both our pet project in Playshop last year, to bring the whole class together.
Oh yeah, more good news. I got my first paycheck yesterday!!!
Heeheehee, it felt really good to finally have a real paying job. I know this is so shallow of me, but I'm gonna photocopy that check. ^^;;;
Another thing that happened before Playshop yesterday was our DULAPIL finals. Ugh, it was awful. Gino and Raymond still won't cooperate, and Ems had to yell at them backstage while we were having our final run-through before the show (and to think that there were already lotsa people in the theater at that time). Heheheheh, the entire class still can't get over what I looked like yesterday. Everyone was going, "Ang cute mo, Hogi! Parang bata ka talaga!" ("You're so cute, Hogi! You look like a real kid!") Heheheheh, I had Cris put my hair up in pigtails and tied them with white ribbons to match the little girl's dress I had to wear. It really was a little girl's dress. It was white lace, with a bow in the back, ruffles, and it was only down to below my knees, and it helped a lot that it had a higher waist that my own.
Anyway, after my final scene during the actual show, I had to dress up quickly and leave school (don't worry, I asked permission from Sir Johnny) to make it to Tito Audie's Playshop class.
Heheheheh, when I ran into Cris today when we were submitting our TECDRA2 final project (a macquette with a theme, and a floor plan included) this morning, I asked her about what happened after I left. Heheheheh, during the curtain call, even when they all knew that I already left, Cris still mentioned my name (aw, how flattering). And Sir Johnny complemented at how natural my acting was. ^_^ Whee!
Can't get enough of the good news? Here's more. When I showed Miss Ervite my macquette and floor plan, even though I still got a few things wrong, I got a high grade on both of them (though everything was done last night). I also got a 3.0 on my course card! Woohoo!
Ah, the summer is off to a good start.
Want To Know Which Element You Are?
Truly a rare breed, you're calm and thoughtful
but still know how to live life. Things are taken slowly but your large list of experiences (yours as well
as others) can help you adapt to new situations with little trouble or people being hurt. Unfortunately,
you're the most likely to ignore yourself over other people. Emotions rule you, and though you are quick
to kindness, your anger could scare the fiercest of creatures. Learn to relax a bit and live your own life.
Best Match: Fire, they'll pull you out of your shell and teach you plenty of things in life.
Worst Match: Water, they're too intent on their emotions to notice yours.
Streea wasted a bunch of time making this test.
