My golly, I'm long overdue for an update. Well, there's nothing much that has been happening this past week anyway.
Despite this lousy week, I still looked forward to last Tuesday's coffee session with Mish. As usual, we spent the first part of the evening inside Starbucks talking over our coffee jelly frappuccinos, then we moved outside so she can smoke to her heart's content and still keep our conversation going. I sure wish I could find more people like that, people I can easily talk to about anything.
Later that night we found ourselves holed up in Madison once again with Miko, Nicco and Drei, watching Sky High, hahaha. I didn't get to finish the movie though, because I had to get home partly because my mom was already looking for me, but also because my eyes were ready to cave in.
Early last week, Lyn had texted me saying that she was in Manila! But darn, because our schedules kept conflicting, I didn't get to see her at all. I sure hope that we get to finally see each other the next time she comes to visit, because I have yet to meet little Caitlyn. I miss the girl who once screamed for Ice MoOoOnsterrrr, hahaha.
Jun had asked me to come with him to UST to check out the venue for his upcoming recital (which will be this Friday, December 2nd). I was supposed to help him out, like dressing the stage, and other production work, but I suddenly had other commitments. He also mentioned a recording, and he let me tag along to that as well. Because of the lousy traffic, we moved our visit to UST to the evening and went straight to the Fort to have a late lunch at Pancake House while we killed time for the recording. Then when we had our fill, off we went to Jupiter street.
As it turned out, the recording was for this videoke thing. He was referred by a friend, and was asked to sing 3 songs by Christian Bautista ("The Way You Look at Me," "Say That You Love Me," and "Colour Everywhere"). Hahaha, I forgot how cold it can get in the studio (I could still remember Tita Sherbet reminding me to bring a jacket to Greenhills Sound 2 years ago when they were recording this certain acoustic album). So by the middle of "Say That You Love Me," I was already curling up on the couch, sending various text messages to keep my fingers from freezing, wahahaha.
Tita Sherbs, you were right, it didn't really take that long, just a little over an hour for those 3 songs. Anyway, when they had wrapped up, Mylene (the one who did the recording) asked if we knew anyone else who can sing, because they had a bunch of MYMP songs to record. She also specified someone with a youthful voice, so we immediately agreed to call on Kathy for those songs.
When we got to UST, we went straight to the Education building where the Music department also was. When I saw the rehearsal/recital hall where the show was gonna be held, it was disappointing. It looked like just a classroom with a platform in front to serve as a stage. Oh well. Good luck.
Yesterday, I went to CSB to catch Rian, Arman and Rizza's thesis, Weder-Weder. I could still remember Rian talking about it since last year, because he wrote it himself. The cast included Rian, Miko, Nicco, Drei, Henry, Rie, Drew, Cris, Cathy and even Lye and Ann were there as extras. From Rian's first entrance up to his last song, his guitar-strummer narrator persona reminded me of some other character. I couldn't tell what yet, but I know I've seen that type of character at least once before. But I love his lines. I found myself nodding slightly in agreement. And I have to admit, when he got choked up in the middle of one of his solos, it was highly contagious.
The vignettes were cleverly written, yeah, but some of the technicals didn't cooperate, like some mics were off, and light cues were messed up because they didn't know whether there would be a blackout or not. (Oh yeah, Krys, check it out. Nathan was the lighting designer and boardman.) Because of the lights that they managed to get, I could hear the loud *click click click* of the switches. Anyway, there were performers that stood out due to their singing voices, and some due to their overall acting. I loved how some of them managed to flesh out their characters. Sometimes the scenes seemed to look like they were music videos that were adapted for the stage.
Congrats to RIAN, ARMAN and RIZZA!!!
Congrats to the Weder-Weder cast and crew!!!
I got a text from Iam late this morning, about news of her Japanese spitz puppies. Tita Beng, this is for you.

Meet Terrie/Johnny. This little bundle of joy going to be the newest addition in our family in about a couple of weeks, thanks to Iam, Rosa, Snowie and Debbie. Isn't he adorable? Hmmm... should I keep the blue ribbon? Hahaha! And to think it's my favorite color. Anyway, according to Iam, instead of waiting a little more before they're to be given away, her dad said that it's about time. I think it's probably because their backyard's becoming a "land mine," ahehehe.
Oooh, in case I won't be able to log in tomorrow...
Advanced Happy Birthday to Tita Sherbet!!!
Miss you, Mami Sherbs!
I'm out for now. Till the next update, whenever that will be.
