Sunday at Megatrade and Antipolo
Went to Megamall yesterday for the Arts and Music Festival held at Megatrade Hall 3. Miss Cindy and Sir Jethro was conducting an acting workshop in the morning, so I decided to check it out. We were already talking about going the night before, plus to see the show excerpts presented by the other groups, like CSB's Dulaang Filipino, Filipinescas, Repertory Philippines, and Ballet Philippines.
When I got to the venue the minute the mall opened (excited, hahaha), I found Miss Cindy along with her family, so we went inside together to check out the booths. After a while, we went inside the function room where the workshop was going to be held. Not much people around yet, mostly just performers.
Only a few people attended the workshop. Nicco, this guy named Vartouk (I forgot how to spell his name), a girl who looked like a dancer, one middle-aged guy with long hair, a middle-aged mom, 3 little kids, and me. So how was it? Nothing I've never done before. We did that wall and rope exercise Miss Cindy did during one of our rehearsals, and then a "Paint Me a Picture" activity. That was it. Well, there's only so much you can do in one hour anyway.
After the workshop, Nicco and I waited in the main audience area of the hall for Dulaang Filipino's show excerpts from Tabi Tabi Po and Uyayi ng Ulan. After that followed a couple of dances by CSB Filipinescas (one by Stephen). Hahaha, what came next was what I was waiting for. Hahaha, Mish suddenly appeared next to me to watch as well. Repertory Philippines' song excerpts of Little Shop of Horrors, with Joel Trinidad as Seymour and Amparo Sietereales (did I spell that right?) as Audrey. I want to watch this show. Then came Ballet Philippines. Wheee, I've been enjoying more of BP's shows recently, and this one is no exception. I especially loved the last two dances they did, it was so amusing.
After all that, Nicco wanted to reload his phone with credits, so Mish and I left Megatrade to go with him. He was also looking for the place where he can get an FX to Antipolo, because yesterday was the blessing of their new resort. He had invited us to go earlier during the day, but I was having second thoughts sometime in the afternoon. Ehehehe, after a late lunch at Shakey's, Mish and I ended up riding with him all the way to Antipolo. It was my first time to commute there, and my second time to actually go there (the first time was during an immersion trip in high school, senior year, and the second time was for a YFC youth camp).
I liked the resort. The prices for renting it wasn't bad either. We were already thinking that the place would be good for our next cast outing, as well as for Clokworx. I especially loved the ambience on the second floor, with all those pretty lights. Wheee, heeheehee.
The three of us ended up just talking the hours away. Hahaha, the things to sum it up were all on Mish's speechless expression. Plus my wild brain's imagination, gak, wahahahahahaha.
When we were all about to leave, Nicco's dad invited us to watch his show at Klownz in Quezon City, but I had to decline because my mom was already telling me to go home. Hahaha, we were even parked outside the venue, and I still couldn't accept the offer. So we ended up bringing Mish back to her dorm, and Nicco and I commuted the rest of the way home.
I forgot to mention this. When Mish, Nicco and I were on our way out of Megatrade, we passed by Repertory Philippines' booth, where they were showing a video of some class' showcase. Mish suddenly squealed (hahaha, that's the only way I could describe it) because the video being shown was their showcase of Merrily We Roll Along several years ago! Hahaha, there was a little Mish and her long mop of curly hair, a very young-looking Caisa as Beth, and a pudgy, young Reuben as Frank.
By the way, I got to watch Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events last Saturday. Got annoyed at Jim Carrey, hahaha. Violet was such an interesting character, though. And I enjoyed watching the closing credits, hahaha. Kinda reminds me of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Oh yeah, a shoutout to Caloi of the Bystanders!
