My golly, I can't remember everyone anymore.

I invited some friends over to my house last Thursday night. There was Rosa, Iam, Aris, Rain, Mish, Nicco, Son, Drei, Glenn and Mai, and even Ate Maui and Kuya Butch. Mmmm... food... I just loved that chocolate cake that Grace insisted she make.

The best part of it was completing our trio again. It's never dull when you're with Rosa and Iam, hahaha. We've been together since we were kids and we've practically stopped counting the years. Never mind how old we are, we're still kids at heart. And 80's kids, to add, hahaha. Hence...



Meet Birthday Bear!
Hahaha, got this adorable Care Bear as a gift from Iam.
Thanks, Iam!
Collector's Edition pa yan!

Anyway, food galore for everyone. I think everyone got so amused with my mom that night, hahaha. Nicco also brought his copy of Garahe, so we got the others to watch it. Plus I let them see a video of rehearsals from the first Joseph staging.

We (Rain, Mish, Nicco, Drei, Son and I) mostly spent the time in our living room, first talking about plans for the next production, to anything under the sun until the wee hours of morning. We had a meeting the following day, so everyone had to call it a night. Mish and Son slept over while the rest (south people kasi, hehehe) went home.

Wahahaha, breakfast with my mom yesterday morning had a theme and no one told me. "Embarass Hogi." Hahaha. My mom never ran out of stories to tell.

Anyway, Mish, Son and I headed for Taft to meet up with the rest. We were supposed to meet up at Figaro at CCP, but when we were with Miko and Nikki (decked in her St Scho uniform so her mom can let her out of the house, hahaha), Miko asked if we could stay in the Taft area because he was only staying until 1pm. So we settled at KFC and waited for Anthony and Cha.

Talked about what we had discussed the night before, and then Miko shared his ideas. When he had to leave, we all transferred to Wendy's and talked more there. Mostly concerns on venue, how many days will the show run and how many shows, etc. Nikki then got a text from Arni, saying that there's an open DTR at St Scho later that day for May Day Eve. We wanted to check it out, but decided to kill time at Anthony's place.

Popped the video of Garahe into the player again so Nikki, Anthony and Cha can watch it. Noticed a few more I could comment on since the last couple of times I saw the film, ehehehe. Nicco, Miko and Drei, next time na lang yung comments ko. Anyway, after watching the film, Anthony introduced us to his cousin Alvin, and even mentioned his prowess on the piano, so we got him to play a few tunes. Hey, Anthony, can we hire him as an MD? Hehehe...

Nikki, Mish, Nicco, Son and I then headed for St Scho. Met up with Cris outside and she gave me this pretty butterfly for my cellphone. Thanks, Cris!

Lav, Bryan (with a couple of other friends) joined us for the DTR. Sat a few rows in front of the director, none other than Mr. Tony Espejo himself, ahehehe. The first part of the show was May Day Eve, featuring actors like Batibot's Kuya Bodjie and even Noel was there as his younger version in the flashback. The 2nd half after intermission was this hilarious Taglish play about fighting cocks. OK, I have to admit, I didn't understand the words half the time because they were talking to fast, and their Pinoy accents weren't helping one bit. No offense to GTF people. If they spoke a little slower to make the words clearer, it would've been better. But heck, the play was still funny. We were all laughing our asses off! And when one of the actors said that the white cock was "comatose", we couldn't help it, we all burst out laughing.

After the show, we said goodbye to Bryan and his friends and had dinner at House Blend. Then we went to GSIS for this art exhibit and contest that Prof Arvin was in. Darn, there was free food in the museum. Oh well. I found some pretty impressive artwork in every category, cool. I wonder what would've happened if I retained my artsy ways in high school instead of joining theater productions? What kind of visual artist would I might have been?

Oooh, lunch time. I'm out.
