Busy Saturday.
Lara had prior commitments yesterday, and I volunteered to be her
substitute for her pre-teen theater class so JV won't be so burned out
the entire day. Mike (as the other teacher) also couldn't make it due to
his own prior commitments.
Off to Merville (oh, service road,
how I still loathe thee) and made it to Montessori at around noon, as
the class starts at 1pm. There was only one student, actually. Pat's
been a regular student in Make Believe, but she's the only one who
enrolled this year, so chances are that the class might be canceled and
she would be moved to the Moonwalk branch. Either that, or her mom might
just pull her out anyway. It's tough being the only student. So anyway,
I hung out with Nina, JV, and Mond in one of classrooms (where Nina and
Rieszel hold their Fashion and Crafts class). JV had his lunch, I
checked out the lesson plan that Lara had written out, and chatted with
everyone as well. Nina was so funny as she kept telling Mond about this
monologue I did, so she kept asking me to do it not once, but twice (as
Rieszel had arrived a little later).
Off to the auditorium with
JV, where Pat was waiting (she had streetdancing class with Mond during
the morning). After a little warm-up, JV and I ran through the lesson
plan. When we reached the monologue part, I had asked JV if I could
alter the activity a bit, and he agreed. But I have to say that Pat was a
little too introverted or had too many inhibitions that she can't seem
to help push herself. Well, maybe if she wasn't the only student, it
could help. After a couple of tries, we just said that it just needs to
be worked on, and so I just explained the purpose of the exercise. We
ended up going through all the activities pretty quickly, so JV had to
improvise a last activity, literally. We did improv dancing, right there
on the stage, hahaha.
Finally called it a day, and JV and I left
Montessori together, as he also had a meeting at the church. I flew the
rest of the way to CCP. Once I arrived, I settled myself in the lounge
(haha, kapal ng mukha ko) with the lunch I brought but didn't get to eat
earlier.
Even though I killed a lot of time by myself in the
lounge, I was still the first to arrive in the MKP. Class that evening
was mostly warm-ups, then continued with the 3 changes, for those who
had not had their turn yet (as I was lucky enough to be one of the
first, ahehehe). Then we just finished reading R.U.R. a second time together, then just discussed the
thesis of the play before calling it a night. A whole bunch of us then
headed to Dencio's for dinner, just for a little breather to end the
week. There was Dan, Rish, Len, Mark, Hannah, and Rommel plus his Anna
(who's in Roeder and Onyl's Acting in Musical Theater class). Basically
it was the same group, plus Hannah, who all went to Jef'z Cafe last
Tuesday night. Phrase for the night (courtesy of MA) was, "Alam mo yung
(insert adjective here)? Ikaw/Ako/Tayo yun."
Check it out, I actuallly know someone who almost made it to the Glee Send to Hollywood promo. Sean
won 2nd place, while some cute girl bagged the grand prize, hahaha. I
jokingly said that Lara deserves part of the goody bag that he won,
considering that she helped him with his video, hehehe.
I'm
not flirting with you. I'm just trying to show what I really feel.
Nakakapagod na harapin ka and pretend everything's all right. Ang
plastic ko naman kung ganun. Ang lakas mo pang mang-asar that day. Kahit
anong sabihin ko at galaw ko, may hirit ka. Alam kong ganun ka dahil
alam mo kung pano ako barahin at madali akong mapikon. So ano yun, pwede
mo akong inisin pero hindi kita pwede kulitin? Labo.
