Man, oh man...

This past week has been pretty crazy.

First of all, it was Doubt's production week. Started rehearsing at RCBC by Monday, and despite all my efforts to keep my mind from thining of trivial things that have been bothering me, I couldn't keep myself sane enough while on my toes. Good try, but not good enough. It was exhilirating, but fulfilling. I was trying to juggle everything, and by the time I find myself at home in front of my laptop, I feel myself crashing. During the last Y!M conference with my BA friends, I didn't manage to hold a good conversation.

Wednesday, May 31

We had 2 DTRs that day, and during the evening DTR, we had an audience, mostly composed of people from Blue Rep as well as the students from Nic's Rep workshop class. It was also a rehearsal for the new ushers as well. Chari had contacted some Blue Reppers to work as ushers for us this year. Coolness. And to my surprise, Tricia was one of them! Wheeee!


Thursday, June 1

Oh my, the press preview. I had invited Iam and Ge to come watch the show because they work in the same building, so it was easy to get them to come. Wheeee. I was so excited because it was finally time for a real show. Oh man, of all the things to happen to the preview, Nic's mic went out in the beginning of Act 2, mostly due to sweat that had got into the mic head. Arg... We had to wait for the long Scene 3 to fix and replace the darn thing, ahehehe. There's always a next show.


Friday, June 2

Finally, opening night. Nothing very exciting happening, really. We figured out some way to keep Nic from sweating on his mic, hahaha. This clip attachment for the mic, rolls of tissue paper everywhere, and even an anti-perspirant, hehehe. During the long scene in Act 2, I suddenly felt sleepy and found myself lying on the bench that we use for the garden scenes, hahaha.

After the show, we all went to the lobby for the opening night cocktail party. Found myself devouring the pesto pasta, too tired to be fazed by the people mingling about, except when I tried to drag Tricia (who refused) to meet Lea. I hardly had a drop of alcohol in my life, but once Nica had put the glass of wine in my hand, I couldn't refuse and quickly downed it before I had to commute home.


Saturday, June 3

First of all, it was Mia's birthday! Her mom had brought food and we dug in once it was all set up in the big dressing room downstairs. We were happily content eating and even came up with each of our quotable quotes from the play...

I thought you were satisfied with me.
Art is a waste of time.
I have been longing for the return of my peace of mind.
There was alcohol on his breath.
It's just til June.

Wahahaha...

JP, Mimay, Julia, Jonna, Fiancee, Michelle and Betty (with hubby) came to watch the show last night! Hahaha, I had a heck of a time trying to reserve tickets for them because not everyone had confirmed right away. Nicco was also supposed to go but had to cancel at the last minute because he suddenly had a scheduled shoot for Martin's thesis. Thanks for watching, guys!

After the show, we had to strike the set because the theater had another booking during Sundays or Mondays. Arg... that means we have to strike everything every week! Peach, my apologies if I wasn't of help to you. I was so ngarag.

I managed to catch up with them after the strike. Found them hanging out at Starbucks at PeopleSupport just across the street. I was still a mess when I got there, so seeing them was refreshing so I managed to relax a bit. Then we decided to move to Gloria Jeans in Glorietta because it was open for 24 hours. Styed there and relaxed on the couches in one corner, and even got some good ol' Mickey D's to match a couple of drinks. Nicco managed to catch up with us at around past 2 in the morning (or was it 3?), and then when we noticed that most of us were already snoozing on the couches, we decided to go to Bagtay again.

Mimay, Julia, Jonna and I were the only ones who ended up going. Betty had to go when they had gotten food at McDonald's, and JP went straight home after leaving GJ. Plus Nicco had to go to Westin Philippine Plaza then, because his family was there. So the 4 of us hopped on a bus along Edsa and off we went to Julia's pad. By the time we had settled down in the bedroom, we almost immediately fell asleep.

I woke up briefly early in the morning to find Jonna leaving to meet with a friend, and then fell asleep again. Woke up once again to go to the bathroom and back to sleep. It was almost 12 by the time Mimay, Julia and I were finally awake enough. We went to SM North for lunch at Yellow Cab, and then it was high time I had to go home.

My mind is still a flurry of thoughts. Probably because I've been to busy to sit and think. I need more coffee time alone. I haven't had one in ages. Darn it, Mia, you'd better get that coffee jelly ready by closing weekend, hahaha.

I hope this week will be better. Meeting up with a couple of friends tomorrow will be quite a change from the hectic office-rehearsal-and-show days.

Last Monday, I met up with Mimay, Nikki and Mish at SM Mall of Asia. Waited for everyone at Starbucks and tried that banana caramel frappuccino that some people have been raving about. Mish and Nikki finally arrived after a while and Mimay had texted that she'll just catch up with us because she suddenly had a meeting. Then Mish announced that she was hungry, so we ended up going to Sbarro. I had also invited Nicco to come join us, but he had said that he had rehearsal for this Independence Day show with TP.

Mimay managed to catch up with us at Sbarro, and good thing at that, because she was craving for pasta for the nth time. So all four of us were just sitting there, catching up on each other's news. Man, I missed hanging out with these girls. Well, Mimay, I can never get sick of her, no matter how crazy she can get, hahahaha! Labyu, Mims!

We then moved back to Starbucks so we can sit and talk better. Rawr, I've been spending too much lately. Once we got to the coffee shop, I immediately got another drink. More talk, mostly about what has been going on with Nikki and Mish, because they're the ones we haven't hung out with in a while.

Nicco managed to catch up with us after his rehearsal, but 15 minutes after he had arrived, I had to leave, hahaha. Oh well.

I invited them again to yesterday's musical reuve of Repertory's I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, at Segafredo in Greenbelt 2. Met up with Mimay at Powerbooks Live, and Nicco joined us there as well. Then we headed over to Glorietta so Nicco can get some Advil at the drugstore plus so we can get something to eat. Nikki and Remus joined us for dinner, and then Mish finally found us. We let her sit for a while before we all headed for Segafredo.

Once we had found a table, all the familiar faces started appearing. When I said hello to Nic, Robbi and Cathy, people started calling my name from one of the tables on the other side of the venue. They were from Nic's workshop class this summer, and I saw Mia, Joy, Teena, and Sundee at the table. I went over to say hi, then went back to my crowd.

I loved the show, even though they only showed excerpts of the play. Some of the songs were hilarious like this song Cathy sang about being "Always a Bridesmaid, but Never a Bride" plus the one about single men drought, hahaha. And of course, my favorite was "Shouldn't I Be Less in Love with You?" The lyrics are posted in Mimay's blog if you want to take a look-see. I can't wait to watch its full version of it next month.

After the show, Michelle managed to catch up with us, and then we all trooped to Gloria Jeans to chill. We got Michelle to bring out her Tarot cards and read something about Mish, while Nicco went upstairs for a while for his usual dose of Timezone. After quite some time sitting around, talking, a Proof script-reading, I had to bid my farewell and head on home.


====================


I've noticed that I was brooding during this month last year, and I've been in a brooding mood during the same time this year. Arg... I hate this. I hope it won't turn out to be an annual thing. I don't even know why I brood about these trivial things. Detatchment? Withdrawal? Other people's social lives that I envy? Whatever.


====================


I feel bothered because you might still be mad and/or annoyed at me. I'm not good at apologies, and I'm not good at talking either. And by the way you had acted before, I now feel bothered by something else that I feel I need to tell you.


Ay, que drama. Enough.

It seems that I've been relying too much on my blog for my own thinking. Maybe because during the times I sit down and write, I manage to be quiet and think about everything that had happened. And I assess how everything was. I think I need my notepad back. And a date with myself over coffee.

Last year, because I was so used to being backstage that when I was working side by side with Ate Sally in the office and the front-of-house, I would miss all the action that the crew had. I would drop by and occasionally visit Saturday afternoon rehearsals just to check out the show.

When Jett found me trying to get in the artists entrance of Meralco theater last year to deliver tickets for the actors, he said that he hasn't seen me work backstage in a while, and it made me miss it even more.

I was also pretty rusty with acting and taking workshops, because I stopped enrolling in classes 3 years ago.

Everything changed this year. Aside from the usual office work, I was tasked to work backstage for Doubt as one of the assistant stage managers. I was out of practice, so I sort of had to adjust again.

And of course, the workshop. I enrolled at a different theater company and vowed to myself that I shouldn't hold back anymore. Thank goodness for that. I had a blast, and it was the first time I actually really, truly enjoyed taking a workshop.

Every year, things seem to change so fast for me to manage. And last night, I felt so sentimental for some weird reason that I can seem to figure out. It really must be me "June mood", hahaha.

Ignore me. I'm just posting random things just so I can blog away.

In my last blog entry, I mentioned that I had missed being backstage last year because I worked at the front-of-house instead.

This year, I'm now missing being at the front-of-house with Ate Sally. Last year was fun just sitting there at the lobby, watching all the interesting people go by, chatting with the ushers, and getting to watch the show whenever we want to as often as we want.

I envy the front -of-house even more this year because we have new ushers courtesy of Blue Rep, and Bravo does food sampling every show night, hahaha.

Now time to backtrack.


Thursday, June 8

After work, I dropped by JP's house to get a DVD copy of Our Town that he had edited. We checked out my copy on the player first, and then we looked at another copy, as well as the master copy. Then he also got me to see a bit of Palangga, which featured Jenny and Ian as cousins, hahaha. After that, we walked to Amici for dinner. Wheee! Thanks for the pizza and gelato, JP!


Friday, June 9

Bobby had arrived the night before from Hong Kong. Hahaha, another weekend at RCBC. When everything was set up back in their usual places, we had to do a short and fast run through for the technicals. Ninja mode for Tita Jay. She had a rehearsal before call time so she was late, so over the headset I was told to come onstage and read Mrs. Muller's lines in case she wouldn't make it. Hooray, she made it, but had to leave right after for a meeting and will be back by 7. So I had to do her bow during the curtain call. Hahaha, when the scrim went up, I heard loud laughter from the audience. Tita Menchu and GA were sitting with Chari the whole time, hahahaha.

During dinner, Bea, Chie and I started thinking of everyone's quotable quotes of the show. It was for Bea's closing night gift for everyone, so she scribbled everything down in her notebook. Even during the show, we were thinking of quotes for everyone over the headset.

And of all the days, the door of Sister Aloysius' office didn't cooperate! It was locked from the inside, so during the first office scene, Cathy had to knock on the door twice and Cherie had to stand up and open the door for her. Ninja mode for Bea and I between scenes just so we can check if the doorknob was okay.

After the show, we all gathered onstage for the company photo, specially since Bobby was also around. Wheee.


Saturday, June 10

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISS TESS JAMIAS!!!

We checked and double-checked the door of the set as often as we could before the show started, hahaha. We were so busy with that... that during the show, Bea had noticed that we forgot to put to sppons for the teacups! Ninja mode again for Hogi, hahaha. That was when I was dubbed "the ninja" by Chie and Bea, hehe.

During the strike after the show, I asked the BA crowd where they were because they went to see Miss Tess' dance recital, and then would most likely hang out afterwards. Suddenly I got a text from Tin telling me to go with them to Cavite. Santa banana? Spend an overnight session in Cavite, with Father's day the following day??? Big veto from my dad if ever I asked, so it's a veto from me as well. So I called them up and without meaning to, I snapped at Tin and Fiancee for the spur-of-the-moment invite to Cavite, saying that if ever they had invited me to go, they should have mentioned it earlier at least, because it was already 11 in the evening! Sorry guys. I guess it was because I was too tired then. Plus my June mood was kicking in. Darn brooding mood, hahaha.

Yay, I got the day off today. But rawr, bck to the office again tomorrow even though it's a holiday. Oh well, at least we don't have to stay there the whole time tomorrow. Maybe I can catch a movie when I get out.

Even though yesterday was a holiday, we still had to come in at the office. We didn't have to stay the entire time anyway, so goody, hahaha.

I was dying to do something after work, but since a lot of people had let my invite to watch a movie pass, I got invited to something else. Nicco had mentioned that he had a pictorial for Martin and Shaula's thesis, and Drei had mentioned it as well. So there, I met up with Nicco, Miko and Drew somewhere near the venue so I could tag along with them.

Darn it, the venue was hot. Rawr. Oh well. Anyway, yesterday was one of the very rare moments where I crack once I find out about something. Open mouth, insert foot.

After dubbing the scene where Nicco, Miko and Drew were all part of, we said our goodbyes and headed to Glorietta. When we started thinking of what to do next, someone had suggested watching a movie, but we couldn't agree on anything. Drew had already seen The Omen, and I wanted to see Take the Lead. And Miko didn't really want to watch a movie because we don't really get to talk. Well, I have to agree with him about that. It's been a while since I got together with all of them, and it would nice to just hang around and talk again.

We went upstairs to the cinemas in Glorietta 4 just to check out the movies, then they guys bought something to eat. They all brought it downstairs to Gloria Jeans, where we had all planned to chill as talk as we wait for Drei to catch up with us. Hehehe, sitting there with Nicco, Miko, Drei and Drew (whew, what a combination of names, hahaha), it was nice to be one of the guys again. Our conversation went from dating, to friends with exes, to Richie Rich and Drew's original text jokes.

During the weekend, fatigue was what got the best of me. After that, it was paranoia. It was about you, and you and you. Among other things, hahahaha. I hate it when I tend to think too much, and it's not even my problem. I hate it when I crash. I can't believe I've done that. I'm sorry, guys. You still know I love y'all, right? To quote myself, "Ibang klase ako maglambing." Hahahaha.

Hello all. Man, I miss being online. So here I am, ready to backtrack on what's been happening in my crazy world.


Wednesday, June 14

I had initially planned to drop by JP's house again to get the Out Town DVDs of some of our BA friends after work. Nicco had texted me earlier that day asking what I have planned for after work, so I told him. We met up in Glorietta after work (and also after his orientation at CCP), and then we didn't get to go to JP's anymore. I guess he was kinda lazy to walk all the way there because we were coming from G4. We ended up just hanging around Timezone and Starbucks, looking for friends who might be near the area so we could watch a movie together and hang out or something. We were almost ready to watch a movie with Jonna at Megamall until she texted that she was going with Harold. Darn, so next time. I ended up going home and Nicco meeting up with Erika and her friend Macy.


Thursday, June 15

This time, I was going to get the DVDs for real. Tin and I decided to meet up then, so I told her to meet me at Starbucks in Greenbelt 1, so it will be easier to walk to JP's house. I was already sitting at a table outdoors, waiting for Tin, when she texted me, asking where I was. Ahahaha, as it turned out, she was at the Starbucks in Greenbelt 3! And to think that I had repeatedly told her that I was at Greenbelt ONE. Wahahaha. Anyway, I let her catch her breath when she arrived, then we walked down the street to JP's building (where another Starbucks can be found on the ground floor, hahaha). Got the DVDs, then we went to Food Choices in Glorietta for dinner. Afterwards, I got Tin to join me in Timezone for a couple of games, then we went to Greenbelt 3 so she can meet her cousins before I headed home.


Friday, June 16

Back to the theater for Doubt once again. Oh well. Anyway, I got to have some complimentary tickets for that night's show, so I started contacting people who could be available. Mish said she could make it, and tried to get Jhoi to join her. Nicco was in Cavite taping yet another episode of Fantastikids. Drei was with Tin, but it was all up to Tin because she still had to ask permission. In the end, they couldn't make it because her cousins were at her house. Oh well.


Saturday, June 17

I managed to secure a couple of complimentary tickets again for the night, so I asked who else was available. Nicco had said he finally was, but he started asking me who can go with him. Nyak, why not ask around? Carmi was available, so yay, I got them their tickets. Then suddenly Nicco texted me that he might not make it anymore, because of some interview that evening. So Carmi asked me if she could bring her friend along instead, and I agreed. Then suddenly change of plans once again, Nicco could make it because the interview came early. Nyak, so I had to add an extra ticket to accommodate the three of them, hahaha.

Yay, I was so relieved that there wouldn't be a strike after the show that week, so we got out of the theater early. Found Nicco, Carmi, and Carmi's friend Jana waiting for me at the smoking area of the lobby. We then headed to Gloria Jeans to hang out and talk, plus so I can unwind after the show. Hahaha, I found out that Carmi and Jana found Father Flynn guilty, but Nicco thought otherwise, hahaha. And to think that I myself thought Father Flynn was guilty, but just for that night, hahaha. Anyway, we talked the night away, and then when we saw that the lights were dimming in the coffee shop (and to think that this one is open for 24 hours), we decided to call it a night.


Anyway, I guess that's it for now. Man, I can't wait for this month to be over, hahaha.

Hello all. I'm back again, hahaha. Time for my next weekly update. Per usual, my apologies for not cutting this if ever I end up writing an uber long entry.


Tuesday, June 20

I was just planning to catch I Love You, You're Perfect... again at Greenbelt 2. Got to meet up with Bei, Maje and a bunch of their other friends then met up with Mimay and her friend Nate at Greenbelt 2. Hahaha, after the show, this guy introduced himself as Hershey and showed us a couple of magic tricks. After that, the three of us met up again with Bei and Maje and hung around at Cafe Bola as well as got something to eat. When Bei and Maje left to rejoin thier buds, Mimay, Nate and I got into these crazy mind games reminiscent of those we did at Julia's house before.


Wednesday, June 21

Was supposed to meet with Drei and Tin in Taft, but at the last minute, they had to cancel due to a brief disagreement. Ended up bringing free pizza (thanks to our sponsor) to Mish's dorm then we went to the CSB theater to watch a culminating show by Footworks, Dulaang Filipino, and Coro San Benildo. The first featured ballet numbers, then after the intermission, we saw excerpts of Once on This Island, with Camille as Ti Moune and Russell as Daniel. Woohoo! Congrats, you guys!


Thursday, June 22

I wanted to watch this play called The Coffee Shop Within The Play with Bei and Arumi at CCP, but due to a meager budget, I stayed at Powerbooks after work instead. Suddenly I got a call from Nicco, telling me to join him to watch the show, even willing to cover for my ticket. So of course, I quickly hopped on a bus and headed over to CCP, hahaha.

Found Fiancee and Nicco as soon as I arrived, but Fiancee wasn't staying for the show because he had already seen it (twice). Bei and Arumi joined us half an hour before the show started, then we just waited for Michelle to arrive before we went inside the Batute theater.

I had seen the Filipino translation of the play that Nicco and Cris were part of (Kapihan sa Loob ng Isang Dula) and I barely understood half the dialogue. This version was an English translation of the Japanese original, and I finally understood the whole thing. I loved the whole concept, and the guy who played Director 2 was great. I specially enjoyed watching Director 4, hahaha.

After the show, the 5 of us went to Starbucks for a while. Nicco, Michelle and I discussed the play and other stuff while Bei and Arumi had their own conversation. It was like we were two entirely different groups, if other people had seen us. Oh well.


Friday, June 23

The final Friday of the Manila run of Doubt. Gem came to watch the show with her friends, yay. Hehehe, we met up after the show and had a bite to eat at Tempura, while attempting to set me up with one of her friends, hahahaha! And I finally for to experience that bacon maki that Drei used to rave about.


Saturday, June 24

We had a very receptive audience, but they kept reacting during the most obscure moments, even laughing at some of the most pivotal scenes. Weirdness.

Then there was the strike after the show. Everything was put away and packed under Chie's supervision, then some were brought to the Atlantis office to keep until the cast and crew's flight to Cebu the following week. We didn't arrive at the cast party at Bravo until around past midnight.

Did nothing at the party but ate, hahaha. Had a couple of slices of pizza then ended up sampling every type of pasta they laid out for us, while everyone talked the night away, with Pao snapping away with his camera.

Then Ate Sally, Kuya Boni, Michelle and I headed back to the office, then left again to check out Baywalk. Walked around, then listened to this obscure band until 3:30 in the morning before we returned to Atlantis. Hahaha, because of the time, we all couldn't commute home so we ended up sleeping in the office until 5 a.m., then that's when we headed for our respective houses.


Sunday, June 25

It was time to watch Godot, Wer Is U? at the CCP Little Theater with Nicco, Tin, Fiancee, Merv, Carmi, Michelle and JP. Thank to Cris! Anyway, speaking of whom, Cris was quite the standout as Lucky without upstaging the rest of the actors. Ahehehe, I have to admit, I was sort of feeling sorry for him as Lucky every time hed get hit by that whip or be yanked by the rope that was tied around his neck.

After the show, Nicco was talking to this girl who was also accepted into AC, and she happened to be someone I knew. It was Anna, this girl I knew from St Scho's Sining Tanghalan. We were in Maui's thesis, Ritmo Enkwentro together back in 2003. Woohoo, you rock girl! Anyway, after a bit of small talk, she and Nicco left us then for their pictorial for the Virgin Labfest.

The rest of us hung around the 4th floor while MIss Tess helped Tin with an audition piece for her school's theater org.l When they were done, we went to Mang Inasal in Harbour Square to eat.

Weird, it was still early when we wrapped up and called it a night, and most of us had said our goodbyes by the time we arrived in Taft. When Nicco had finally caught up with us, only Merv, Fiancee and I were left, hahaha.


Monday, June 26

Nicco suddenly texted me in the afternoon, inviting a bunch of us to hanbg out and maybe watch a movie in Glorietta. Met up with him at Starbucks, then we went to search for a certain ATM machine. Hahaha, I had to teach him how to use it once we found the machine. After meeting with Tin, the three of us went to the bridal registry of Rustan's, where Ting is now working at. Waited there for Merv, which took a really long while. We just sat around and talked, updating Ting while we waited.

When Merv finally arrived, we left Ting to close the place and looked for a place to eat. Settled on Pizza Hut after walking around. Hahaha, despite all the hirits, thank you Nicco! Ting managed to catch up with us, yay, but she had to go home right after we finished eating.

Jenny's turn to catch up with us when we went up to Timezone. Nicco really wanted to watch a movie but I was already declining as we walked. He even texted my mom and managed to get her to let me stay and join them for the movie. *bonk*

We ended up watching the last quarter of The Nun, stayed for the trailers, then left the cinema, hahahaha. Then we all had to part ways.


Tuesday, June 27

Met up with Nikki at Mall of Asia so she can return my digital camera that she had borrowed for class. SHe was also there to meet with Joel, their workshop classmate in CCP when they took up musical theater in 2004. I've heard about Joel about a million times since then, and knew a lot of Joel anecdotes because of Nikki. Now I finally got to meet him in person, hahaha.

So we all hung around at Bo's Coffee Club and he really was quite a quirky character, hahaha. It was great to finally meet you! Wheeee!


There.

Hahaha, my hands are getting tired from all that typing, hahaha.

The Doubt cast and crew are flying to Cebu tomorrow. Rawr.

Every morning, I fall in line at the waiting area outside my village for the Makati shuttle service. It's been over a year since I first started taking the shuttle to work every morning. I've been seeing the same faces every day, though I don't really know them personally.

It's amusing to watch everyone even though all of us get ever so impatient while waiting for the next shuttle to arrive. Each person has his or her own story to tell, and sometimes when I get bored, I try to figure them out. Usually I start with simple things. Some people have grown their hair out, some who did have long hair before had cut them and maintained it. I even saw a couple of women evolve from being single to married and pregnant.

Hahaha, I enjoy making up stories of those other people as I go along during mornings when don't wake up on the wrong side of bed. It keeps me amused and keeps me from getting impatient.


I'm getting hungry.
