after the cast party
I met up with Rosa and Iam after lunch yesterday in South Mall so we can have studio pics taken for Rosa's yearbook. Heheheheh, no matter how long the three of us haven't been together, it always feels like we just saw each other the day before. Anyway, since our pictures can be claimed tomorrow, I volunteered to claim it. I can go straight there instead of going straight home. Heheheheh, I'll be the first one to see the pictures. ^_^
At that time, I still didn't know who I'm hitching with to go to Anna's house for the cast party, coz Jamie hasn't replied yet (I sent him a text message earlier that day asking if I could ride), probably coz he's still at The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe rehearsals or something. I finally decided to text Luis, who'll be going with Shan and Lawyn to the party. So when I got to ATC, I went to meet Shan and Lawyn at the South Supermarket after I got a black forest cake from Red Ribbon. Then Luis arrived, and we shopped for other food to bring. We ended up buying frozen French fries to cook at Anna's house, then a package of instant sisig that we decided to cook and eat for dinner at Lawyn's house. Luis even helped me choose a bottle of red wine to give my dad for Father's Day.
We then retreated to Lawyn's house and cooked the sisig. Wow, for something "instant", it sure tasted great. I think I'll buy some of those for myself. Who doesn't love sisig anyway? ^_^ I know we do. ^_^
We went up to Lawyn's room for a while to hang out, listen to Broadway CD's, thumb through souvenir programs, look through picture albums, and freshen up. Heheheheh, Lawyn, Luis and I ended up wearing the same color, blue.
It was already 8:30 when we left for Anna's house, and the party was already in full swing by then. Wow, even Tito Audie and Tita Menchu made it to the party.
Well, the party was pretty OK, but the younger kids enjoyed it most of all. They were all dancing and stuff in the living room while the rest of us older kids sat out in the side lawn with Tita Menchu and Tito Audie. When I hooked up my video camera to the small TV in the living room, everyone else crowded around to watch it. Heheheheh, everyone's favorite were the shots of the "hula-hoop tournament" that Jamie, Chevy, Karl, and Eric had during that late-night rehearsal, and Jamie's choreography of "The Lamp" chant from Godspell. Waheheheheh.
We even got Tita Menchu and Tito Audie to sing a couple of Miss Saigon songs, after 2 hours of their refusal. ^_^
Anyway, when everything else was settling down, a bunch of us older kids looked forward to our favorite part: bonding during late-night till the wee hours of the morning over coffee in a coffee shop. We decided on going to Seattle's Best Coffee in Festival Mall this time instead of the usual Starbucks in Madrigal Avenue, probably coz they got kicked out there the last time (too bad I was there).
So there we were, gathered around 4 tables pushed together, just talking and joking around. There was me, Lawyn, Shan, Karl, Luis, Menchu, Jun, Ecel, Jamie, Thea, Alex (Duque), Mikki, Bea, and Reg. First they wanted to grill the "new" ones (including me, coz I wans't there last time) who their Playshop crushes were. I got away with saying no one, much to their disappointment, coz they never accept "no one" for an answer. Heck, what would I say anyway? I really wasn't interested in anyone.
Then what we decided to do was go around around the table and give our first impressions of each other. We took turns being in the hot seat, and when it was my turn, I wasn't surprised at what they said. Most of what they said meant the same thing, that I was a simple girl. Been there, done that. When we did it last year during our brainstorming session of the script, I got the same responses. My favorite was from last year, when someone said that I was hard to read. It was the closest they ever got to the real me. Hey, I didn't get any negative response from this year. It was funny how surprised the rest were when they found out that I knew Lawyn when she was in 5th grade and I was in 7th, and when I knew Mikki when he was in 3rd grade and I was a sophomore.
The night's over. Back to real life.
Heheheh, check this out. My Ya-Ya name is "Princess Silent Breeze" according to the Ya-Ya Name generator. Anyone wanna comment on that?
