May nag-usap nanaman, ito lang yung narinig ko…
—if you don’t want temptation to follow you, don’t act as if you are interested
because
—the only people that you need in your life are the ones who prove that they need you in theirs
besides
—if someone wants to be part of your life… they will make an effort to be in it…
ang sabi ko: tama nga naman! ayaw mo pa kasing makinig eh…
"Sining Tanghalan would like to thank the following….." blackout " fade in music…
Benedict: Centuries will pass on, selfish men and women will create new wars. The struggle will be violent.." fade out music then black out… fade in music of child bearing….
Among all the plays that I was included, Ora Et Labora will be the most memorable one. Not only did it become my gateway for this beloved org but for three years, every summer, I would meet with my org mates and it seems like the school year never ended. I remember June would always be the play’s deadline, meaning early June would be the show’s playdate. Summer’s never boring… we’d discuss the whole production. Schedule overnights to finish props and sets and make the final blockings etc… 8 AM, we’d meet at the Little Theater.. wait until 10 for the late people,, (haha!) Finish aroung 4 or 5 pm… We’ll go to prov to unwind after the tiring rehearsals… we’re still happy because we are all together. Laughing at each other’s stories.. Funny how many things can happen for one day. We’ll go home, then we’ll find ourselves together again, doing the same routine the next day.
I miss doing this prod… I miss the people I work with every summer. I learned from them a lot.. The dances, funny how everybody wanted to be the temptress, everybody would dance at wings and do "that" favorite part.. thanks to Ate Ning…and it was so frustrating how those monks and barbarians won’t do the same steps in the Barbaric Scene… and who would have thought that this is where I’m going to have my dance debut?? (they were just a few steps though! haha!) I remember how each scene improved through the years… During my time, when Rose and I handled Ora et for the first time, I felt sad when we reached the part of the saints because I know after that would be the curtain call… It was a different curtain call… Of course, it was Ate Tiffy’s idea…
At first, letting go of this prod was very hard. But of course, we have to move on… Reminiscing everything made me happy… Without my org, my college life would be incomplete… For without it, I will not meet my friends who helped me along the way.
I’m glad I became a part of it… I’m glad that at some point, I was able to help entice other freshwomen to cultivate their artistic side… I miss Ora Et.. I miss the upper batches whom I’ve worked with… This was a different experince… and I thank God for it…
(I can hear the crowd now… their applause uplifts each actor’s spirit and everybody’s excited to take a bow…..)
TECH: standby
SM: standby dancers , okay na ba tech?
TECH: sige, go!
SM: go dancers! magsabay sabay kayo ah! magbilang sa isip!! (curtain call song at the background with the audience’s applause…)
(after show) SM: COMPANY CALL!!! (habang naglilinis ng stage at nag-aayos ng props) DUN TAYO SA GILID NG ST. CECILS!!!
My heart’s got a mind of its own
Won’t listen to a word I say
Doesn’t it know that I get hurt too
When it acts that way
‘Cause when it breaks I break
I don’t know how much more of this I can take
Doesn’t it know that I get hurt too
When it acts that way
-V.B
Please….
There will come a point wherein we lose contact with a friend. It seems hopeless for the two of you to see and talk to each other. There will come a time his phone number will change and a landline number is not available anymore. Given these situations, fate has a way to bring the two of you back together. How fascinating it is, really… And that just puts a smile on my face.
Ever think how the days go by so fast? I’m here, staring at my clock thinking that I’m going to do the same thing tomorrow night, same place, same time. As if I didn’t move an inch. Everyday, I do the same routine, wake up, eat breakfast, take a shower, dress up (sometimes I wake up my brother because his alarm clock sounds off) and then I go to work. Everyday the same. Its a good thing that when I arrive at the office things do change and for me that really means a lot. Things happen so fast that at first you’ll think its Monday little did you know its Friday tomorrow, heck I can still hear myself saying to my boss that I can’t wait for Friday last Monday.. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, seeing the days go so fast made me a little bit paranoid since I watched Adam Sandler’s Click. Difference is I don’t know who’s got the remote this time. Eventhough I want to take my time, time itself won’t allow me.

After Encantadia, I never thought I’m going to get hooked again with another telenovela or telefantasia or whatever you would like to call it. I never imagined that Sana’y Maulit Muli will get my attention. Though its storyline is very similar to If Only, iba talaga ang rekado ng Pinoy sa paglagay ng iba’t ibang twists sa istorya. Eventhough those twists were already used in previous telenovelas patok pa rin siya. Maybe one of the things that made me watch too is because I’m amazed with the idea of what-could’ve-beens and what-might-have-beens… Which leads me to the latest book of Mitch Albom entitled One More Day. It pops the question "In your life, what moment would you like to change? And are you going to be able to face whatever changes you have made?" Up to this point I’m torn with the answer. That’s why I want to grab that book and see, even in my imagination, if I will be able to take it or am I going to be just like Travis, having a hard time to face the events of his second chance.
Are you a video game fan?…. Well, I am. Not all girls do play video games as much as I do, that’s alright ‘coz I’m not here to talk about them. Anyway, today, I found something very dear to me (yes, let’s be a little dramatic here). If you’re a fan of the Final Fantasy series, you’ll know what I’m going to talk about. In FF8, Squall’s got this ring that Zell duplicated for Rinoa. Well, guess what?! I got that ring! Yay! I started playing the game when I was still in gradeschool and was searching that freaking ring forever! I can’t stop wearing the necklace (yes, it does have a chain), just not sure if I can wear it to the office. It’s such a rare find that I can’t take my eyes off it. I have this feeling that it was crafted by Zell himself! Sheesh, this is such a happy day for me, I wasn’t expecting it that’s why I’m this super happy! … I wish they make a movie out of it… Squall and Rinoa’s love story is amazing.. If not a movie atleast upgrade the game to PS2 or PS3 or something.. Anyway, need to go now, I’m going to look at that piece I have again. Ciao!
Okay okay… I know this is not my original idea but I read Ate Karen’s latest entry and got sorta inspired to backtrack my 2006…
There are a lot of people saying this phrase… “Ang bilis ng panahon at Pasko/Bagong Taon/Valentine’s/Araw ng Kagitingan/Birthday ng Kuya ko/Pasukan /Birthday ko hanggang sa magpasko nanaman.” You must admit na nasabi mo na yan. But as much as we want to make things slower or better yet wish it to be as fast as we want it to be, sadly, we can’t. Looking back, there were so many things that has happened na parang kahapon lang nangyari. Especially my 2006. BUT (anu ba yan puro but na lang), what’s important is for us to look forward and put everything behind us, good and bad, as long as we learned from it, its good to go. =) Some, mahirap bitiwan, I know it’ll take time. ‘Yung iba, limot na agad. Hindi natin alam tapos na yung inaabangan mo pa lang na mangyari. Sabi nga ng Sugarfree “Kay bilis kasi ng buhay, pati tayo natangay.”
I feel a little bit awkward writing this at the stroke of midnight here in Ontario. So quiet, I wouldn’t know its New Year already if my sister wiuldn’t have shouted “Happy New year to everyone”, and, its my first time to experience celebrating New Year raining.. No fireworks or whatsoever. Walang latang maiingay at mga excited na nagsisindi ng paputok ng wala pang bagong taon. Oh well.. there’s always a first in everything as they say. Nakakamiss lang yung festivities sa atin.
Pero, subalit at datapwat,(taglish ito!) I don’t want to hold any further… I hope you had fun celebrating as I will in a few minutes. =) Let’s have a fresh start this 2007!
Happy New Year everyone! =)
Someone told me alot of things today. Funny, this is the first time I talked to her, but it seems she knew me all along.
My sister brought me to a reader today. Well, our family is fond of doing that. We have one reader that I could say is really reliable in the Philippines, and we also have one here in Canada. I just don’t know how they do it but they do know a lot of things about me which I’m sure is very hard to find in the Internet. Even if they do have Friendster and Multiply accounts. They’re not your usual “manghuhula” because they don’t guess things, they actually “read” you and depend on the cards that you have just selected from a special type of deck. I don’t depend on them but as I always say whenever I come from a reading, “Its good to know.” And yeah, I could always use a good surprise! =)
My brother who, from now on shall be called Irvine, did not have any reading… why? Because he just doesn’t want to. That’s his reason. Others, either scared or just plain skeptic. Well, I do respect your decisions you know. But I tell you its really fun.
I’m not telling you to go to some psychic after reading this, its just that if you get a chance to come across one? Grab that opportunity because they might tell you something that may help you, just like what the happened to me. Amazing these people are… And I thought, these things are impossible.
Just wanted to share this. =) Goof day!
Its been 10 days since we arrived here in Ontario but it seems like we’ve been here for ages. I had a good Christmas with my family but iba pa rin talaga ang pasko sa Pinas. Lalo na ang New Year… Syempre bawal ang kanya-kanyang paputok dito. Mamimiss ko yung Elven Prince ng Dragon Fireworks… haha.. tama ba? ewan ko bastamay dragon yun.. I think its gonna snow na here. Some of the locals here eh unusual daw na bumagsak ang yelo ng ganitong kalate. Eh sa kin naman ayos lang kung hindi.. ‘ucha.. anlamig na eh… Pero andito ko sa bansa na may yelo so sorry na lang Geli… At sa lamig eh kain ako ng kain.. ayun, lobo nanaman.. so kailangang magdiet for the wedding.. Ahh.. hay.. ganun talaga… Parang kelan lang asa Pinas ako tapos ngayon nasa kabilang side ako ng mundo.. (well, across lang talaga ng Pacific).. ambilis e.. Pero kahit ang bilis ng panahon e medyo naaamaze din ako kasi syempre sa eksaktong pagkakataon last year e iba ang nangyayari.,. gets? tapos ang fresh pa ng lahat sa isip ko tapos ngayon iba nanaman.. magandang napapatungan ang mga bad memories.. diko lang alam its been one year na pala since… but I’m glad lumalayo na ko dun.. basta lumalayo.. pero ayun nga sabi ni Lougee.. tumatakbo ang oras naiiwan na ako… Si time nanaman..
