influences
People know how I'm such a fanatic for musicals. When I first started in CSB, people thought I was weird because of the music I listened to. Even in my course, I was still different. I was the only one who still loved musical theater the most.
I got influenced even more by some of the people I meet through my OJTs. Heck, there was even this one actor backstage who had the radio hostage and played nothing but showtunes all night. So of course, I would always sit on the floor next to his dresser table and pore over his CD collection.
Ahahaha, just a few months ago, at the beginning of the year, I met and befriended Ernest (through our online theater club) this guy who happened to have an intensive collection of musicals from Broadway, West End, off-Broadway... you name it, he's got it. From music CDs to videos, and even certain translations and versions. So whatever musical I wanted to know, he would give me a copy right away.
During a concert racket, Robi and Caisa managed to get to me to listen to a couple of musicals, one of which won this year's Tony award for best musical. I found a copy from Ernest, along with another music CD of another musical. Then after listening to it for hours on end, we managed to influence Teena. Wahahaha.
Just the other day, I let Nicco borrow my copy of Sideshow because one of his former Playshop classmates had a lead role in the showcase. When he returned it to me yesterday, he asked if I had other videos or even music CDs of other musicals. Then when we were holed up with Drei in his condo, he started singing lines from the show until Drei managed to pick that up. Hahahaha, so after dinner, we let him and Nikki watch the showcase. So we all ended up singing lines from "More Than We Bargained For" and "Who Will Love Me As I Am." Syempre, hirit naman si Nikki na it was her first time to hear me sing, because I never really sang in front of the cast.
So there, even while I was waiting on the curb for a ride home last night, I could still hear Nicco beside me singing "More Than We Bargained For," wahahahaha.

Ikaw kaya ang pinaka normal sa kanila! ka-course mo nga pero di sila aware...tse.
I texted Jenn about the CPA thing...and the admin kinda turned it down. I guess that's not the right term for it, pero they weren't acting on it while Jenn was dedicated in the first place. *tosses a monobloc chair*
Oh well...there will be the future. btw. Rod's asking for info about your course. He's planning to take it after he's done with music...ako rin...while I teach lit in taft in the semi-distant future...
