Script reading for Doubt was held today. Ate Sally and I had reserved the building's function room last week and planned a simple pizza order for them to feed on.

So when the time came closer, Chari's loud knock sounded on our office door, and after a couple of requests from Joel, I asked the security guard if the room was ready. He had asked for the permit, so I had to return to the office to get it. On my way back to the guard, I ran into Bituin and Mio, who were actually on the way to the reading. So I herded them up to the room after handing the permit to the guard.

Bito: [after getting off the top floor and found stairs leading up to the function room] Yuck... Stairs.

OK, before this day, Rich had wanted to have a picture taken with TJ and even Bito, so I brought my camera with me for her to use. For the life of me, I had no idea who TJ Trinidad was aside from being Bobby's cousin, so after hearing that he was good-looking from a few friends, I did a little research. To save myself from embarassment in case I don't recognize him, I checked out a few scenes of Gulong ng Palad last Friday evening, hahaha! OK, so he's a looker, but I guess because he's mestizo, plus his eyes look a lot like my boss', in a way.

Anyhoo, after a quick lunch, I quickly left to order pizzas for the cast and the creative team, then returned to the office to pick up Rich. Ate Sally had told her to help me with the food (heck, it was only a couple of pizza boxes) so she can have an excuse to have her picture taken. Kuya Boni went with us as well, bringing water for everyone.

Hahaha, everyone was actually waiting for the food to arrive when we got upstairs. So we put the pizza and water on the side table, and then I noticed that Rich was already following Kuya Boni back out the door because she was suddenly stricken with shyness. To give her some spine, I tried to herd her back inside but she stubbornly stayed put. Ahehehe, so I went over to Bito and asked if Rich could have a picture taken with her. She obliged and willingly posed for the photo.

Once again, Rich inched away, so I grabbed her by the arm and whispered once again to Bito that she also wanted a pic with TJ. I didn't notice he was the only one quietly sitting in a chair, because the rest had immediately went to the pizza to have their fill. So Bito called him and I asked him if he could have a photo taken with Rich. Hahaha, he immediately flipped his hair and fixed it, then posed for the pic. I was suppressing my laughter so much that I could hardly press the camera trigger.




Rich and Bituin.
Bito, did you loose weight or something?




Rich and TJ.
Hahaha, when TJ flipped his hair, he suddenly reminded me of Fiyero from Wicked.



After work, I met up with Mish because we both had a craving for bagoong rice. Rawr, when we got to Wok Dis Way, bagoong rice wasn't available, so we had to settle for something else. Then we had the usual dose of Starbucks while we waited for Jhoi and Drei's class to end.

By the by, I got a text from Kyla earlier today. Not only will I be attending the gig in the CSB theater on Friday evening, but I will also help sell the Blend CD, ahehehe. So Benildeans and other people going to the gig, even though the event is mostly alternative, please support acapella music and get a copy of the CD.
