I got a text from Lawyn yesterday, asking if I could find 4 guest spellers for today's DTR of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. I immediately managed to recruit 4 willing victims--RJ, Dingdong, Rayna and Lara (in that order, hahaha).

After this morning's class, I immediately went straight to RCBC. Got to chill inside the theater for a while until I noticed that they were doing sound checks. Oh my, where were my recruits? Even RJ, who had promised to come very early, had arrived minutes before the rehearsal began, hahaha. Kaloka. Ganun pala ang ibig sabihin ng before the 2pm rehearsal. As in right before talaga. As it turned out, Lara had quite a tough time getting to the venue due to the commute, so Lawyn had to make a contingency plan that involved me as one of the back-up spellers. So I ended up joining the bee along with RJ, Rayna and Dingdong. Gave them a John Moschitta version of the briefing before we went inside the house. Lara arrived a few minutes later, so she ended up just watching the show.

So I ended up being a returning contestant, but because of the pressure that I was a "very good speller" according to Ms. Peretti, I was immediately eliminated, hahaha! It was fun watching the show again, though, and I'm glad my recruits enjoyed the show as well. Thanks again, Atlantis!

Lara, Dingdong, RJ and Rayna.

For you, yes, YOU reading this blog. If you haven't seen Atlantis Productions' 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, it will run for a limited engagement from July 3 to 12, 2009 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati, so please come and watch! Call 892-7078 for tickets.

After the show, Lara, Dingdong and I hung out at Kopi Roti to just talk and chill. Yay, thanks for the treat, Dingdong! Hahaha, the "dashing divas" are reunited once again. I love it when the three of us hang out together. No matter how serious, mundane or random our topics of conversation are, witty banter is always expected, be it intentional or not (the latter usually applies to Lara, hahaha).
