Darn YM's messed up these past few days. What in the world is wrong? People say that I'm online when I'm really on SMS mode, and status messages keep getting mixed up. Crazy.
Jun texted me while I was on my way to school. At first he was asking about how much would an assistant teacher be paid in an acting workshop of some sort. As it turned out, he got offered a job to workshop grade school kids and he needed an assistant. So he asked me. What made it even more tempting was he mentioned the pay, ehehehe. So there, starting the week after next, I'll be assisting a kids' acting workshop every Monday and Wednesday afternoon until the day after my birthday, when their showcase will be held. 30 kids handled by 2 of us? Good luck to me.
While I was at KFC with Mish and Nikki, just sitting around waiting for Rain and Nicco to join us, I saw a familiar face that I haven't seen in person in months. It was Maynard! Holy kamote, that white bleached hair was such a dead giveaway. Jeez, naging Mannos lang si Memey, di na dumadalaw sa Taft. And with that getup he was wearing, I was so tempted to sew his pants together.
Then we (minus Nikki, who had to go home, but thanks for the choco flakes!) had to go to DLSU to have some flyers approved for Friday's auditions. We had to ask around to find the Office of Student Affairs, but when we got there, the person who can approve our flyers had already left. Rawr, so we have to do it first thing in the morning. We then passed by the chess plaza, where a huge crowd was gathered to watch the DLSU versus Ateneo game on a big screen. My golly, you'd think everyone's actually watching it at the Big Dome, with all the cheering and stuff. After a while, we went to Kaibigan for dinner.
Once again, we all holed up in Drei's condo afterwards. After watching The Importance of Being Earnest, which Drei had to see for Mio's class, everyone (except Rain) wanted to listen to Avenue Q, especially because I brought my copy of the lyrics for them. Of course, despite Rain's protests, we still played the CD and sang along, so he ended up lying on the top bunk (with his Discman and a pillow over his head) while the rest of us were on the bottom bunk and cranked up the volume, nyahahaha. Naks, may sarili-sariling casting pa kami, hehehe. Drei as Trekkie Monster and Nicky, Nicco as Princeton, Brian and Rod, me as Kate Monster (syet, kinarir ba? Hahaha!) and parts of Christmas Eve, and Mish as Lucy (HAHAHAHA!). Rawr, Mish hardly sang anyway. Oist! Kumanta ka bukas!
Half of us were craving for coffee, so we went to Starbucks. There we talked about Nicco's ideas for the show. Interesting. I really enjoy it when the cast say what they want to happen for the show. Like Bobby said during the summer, "You have to tell your cast feel as if they did it themselves." But instead of letting them just feel like it, why not let them create most of it as well?
We went back to the condo to do another round of Avenue Q, then we popped in a DVD of The Truman Show. Well into the movie, I was about to fall asleep, when I heard Nicco's soft snoring (ahehehe...). Too bad I had to go home then, because when I get too comfortable watching a good movie, I'd be too lazy to move.
Gotta go for now. Have to go back to DLSU early in the morning.
