Himala the musical, and other schtuff
Went to see the open DTR of Himala the musical. Teeheehee, better to pay Php20 for a DTR than Php200 for the actual show. Though I'm still thinking of watching one of their runs.
A lot of us came to watch. With me were Rain, Drei, Nicco, Nikki, Arman, Mish, Mimay (even her sister Jade and friend), and even Ferson, Kuya Mike and Alber (with friend).
This just in! Kuya Mike agreed to rejoin the cast! As for Ferson, he wants to, but we're still waiting until he's really really sure.
Anyway, when we arrived outside the Little Theater, we cut in line, wahahaha. Bad. As if we needed it, because Arman and Drei already went in through the backstage area and saved an entire row for us.
Lots of familiar people in the audience. Tito Joey, Johann, Kuya Ramil, and Kuya Reuben (yes, from the CompanY; he's an alternate for one of the roles). Heck, Robert Sena was sitting beside Mimay in the row in front of me.
May Bayot was spectacular as Elsa. She's one of the reasons why I want to watch it again. Huwaw, I was in awe because of the voices of the cast. A-mazing. Hahaha, now I know what Lav meant about not doing much action onstage. And Henry's makeup made him look...green? And how many roles/costume changes did he have?
Too lazy to write much about the show right now.
==================
Males are complicated.
Some are good as colleagues.
Some are good as friends.
It's frustrating to look for a guy who can be more than any of those.
*le sigh*
That was too trivial.
Next topic, please.
==================
I just looked back on my old journal entries of this month. Another "back on this day" entry? Sort of.
It seems that I hang out with different people every year, depending on my interest. Heck, everyone does that anyway. With mine, it amused me at how much variety and flavor there was.
In 2002, I was with my YFC-CSB friends. Every waking moment, when I wasn't with my (then) boyfriend, I was with them. Being an active member and officer, I was always found at prayer meetings, youth camps, and some of those huge events. Even just plain hanging out at the cubicle in school, I was always with them. Heck, my household (I was assistant household head) was one of my favorite people in the world then. Our worst issues with each other then was having walls around us, despite the fact that our faith was so strong.
In 2003, I was with people we called the "Mannos' Angels". Groupie days, as I smugly call it now. I was always with them at gigs. Some of them are even in the Taft area. I listened to nothing but the band's genre of music. October was also the concert month, so not only was I with them, I was also with the band (because of an OJT), and an events company headed by a guy who was a day younger than me. I was in pure denial that I wasn't a fan, hahaha. Funny how being a huge fanatic can make people so naive. There's too many of them going around, even now.
This year, because of my prime love of theater, I'm with people with passion that matches mine. My eccentric taste for showtunes returned. Despite the fact that some of our talents our raw, it still didn't stop us from anything we wanted.
The high for musical theater is back. And I'm loving every single moment of it.
I'm not saying I regret some stuff in the past. And I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the years before. I just couldn't help but notice the fervor, the eagerness I have for my art has returned, and this time with more intensity.
Could it be that it was all thanks to Joseph and CLOKWORX?
