Director’s Note… Blog. Ewan? Joseph the Dreamer shit lang ‘to.

Wala rin naman atang talagang makapagbabasa nito dahil wala nga namang nagbabasa ng blog ko. Ang makabasa, magcomment nalang.:P

Eto ang director’s note na gagawin ko nalang blog dahil alam ko namang hindi ‘to maliligaw sa isang souvenir program na hindi naman mapa-publish.

Sa totoo lang, pakiramdam ko there’s no need for this kind of shit. Sadyang maarte lang akong tao. Pero itutuloy ko nalang din.

Ang storya ng Joseph the Dreamer ay isang biblical story of hope and all that shit. Una kong nabasa yung storya nun nung elem palang ako at ang first idea ko ay baliw na tao si Joseph.

Fast forwards sa ngayon, ang storya ng Joseph the Dreamer ay isa na sa mga pinakamagandang storyang alam ko. Magaleng diba? Bigla akong naging biased. HAHA.

Tama na ang kalokohan.

Hindi ko inakalang ang play na’to ay matutuloy pa. Akala ko naglolokohan lang kame parehas ni mam Narida. After nung excerpt na ipinakita nung 27^{th Foundtaion Day ng Sta, di ko naisip na matutuloy pa ‘to. Kasi naman kulang-kulang sya sa suporta ng tao.}Tapos biglang January na. Kasabay ng paghanap ko kay Lennon, pinipilit ko ring tulungan si Joseph sa mga pag-interpret nya ng dreams. Blahblahblah.

Di ko inakalang magagawan ng paraan lahat ng problema. Di ko inakalang kaya ko pala gumawa ng ganito. Di ko inakalang susuportahan pala ko ng mga tao. Di ko inakalang kayang-kaya pala ng cast ko.

Hindi naman ako nawalan ng pag-asa sa cast ko. Sadyang pestimistiks person lang ako. Kaya ayun, I end up discouraging them. Pero sa loob-loob, alam ko namang kakayanin nila. Kelangan lang talaga nila ng motivations. At dahil jan, siguro kelangan ko silang pasalamatan. (read : mahaba-haba ‘to)

Sa Joseph KO, hindi ko inakalang makakatrabaho kita ng ganito. Sa totoo lang, asiwa ako sayo nuon dahil pakiramdam ko snobbish shit ka. Hindi naman pala, dahil ikaw ay isang mabait at mabuting bata.:) Congrats, Lorenzow. Nakakatuwa lang na ganyan ka – matalino ka na, talentado ka pang bata. Ipagpatuloy mo yang professionalism mo. Yan yung ugali mong pinaka-gusto ko. At passionate ka pa. Yehesss, puring puri ka, gago, HAHAHA.

Sa Narrators KO, Sharahgirl at Arielles, sorry kung binabastos ko na yung mga pangalan nyo ah. HAHAHA. Peyborits ko kayooooooooooooooo! Wahaha, biased na, sorry. Tama ako sa ginawa kong hindi pagbitaw sa inyo. I think enough na yung pagsabi ko na peyborits ko kayo. Andun na siguro lahat ng gusto kong sabihin.:D

Sa eleven evil brothers (with JACOB) KO, loko kayo, ang hirap at ang saya nyong turuan. HAHAHA. Bold talaga sa hirap? Ewan, ang kukulit nyong lahat, ang sasarap nyong pag-untigin pare-parehas, kahit na binabalahura ko kayo at binabalahura nyo rin ako pabalik. Pakiramdam ko kayo rin ang isa sa mga talagang nagpabenta ng palabas. Galingan nyo! Lalo na kila _______, _______, _________, _________, at ________. May ganyang blind item talaga? HAHA. Biro lang, syempre pantay-pantay kayo. Dahil nga magkakapatids tayo. WEH. Hehe, may ganung panapos na shit talaga?

Sa dancers KO, alam ko madalas kayo yung inaaway at kinukulits ko. Sorry. Hehe. Gusto ko lang naman kasi na maayos yung mga sayaw nyo. Nataon na maayos naman kayong lahat kaya ok lang.:) Naniniwala akong may ibubuga pa kayo, hindi lang mga ganoong sayaw. Magagaling naman kasi kayo, mga nahihiya lang talaga.:P

Sa Bakers and Butlers KO, ang sarap nyong panuorin mag-rehearse na kayo lang.:D Ang sipag nyong dalawa at gusto ko kayo magtrabaho. Nafi-feel ko na talagang gusto nyo yung ginagawa nyo. Ipagpatuloy lang yan.:) si Kim, ikaw, marunong ka, konti pa, pwede na.

Sa Potiphar KO, Jolo peyboriiiiiits! HAHA, biased na ule, sori ha? HAHA. Ikaw bata ka, kahit na may mga oras na topak ka, kahit na binabastos mo ko at sinasalbahe mo ko at lahat-lahat, ikaw pa rin ang isa sa mga agaw-eksenang karakter sa buong cast. Kung nag-aantay ka ng masasabi kong maganda eh wag ka na umasa. Bwahaha, apir. Biro lang yun. Magaling ka, Jolo, at alam kong may mga mas kaya ka pang gawin. Weh, pa-deep na ko. HAHA.

Sa Potiphar’s Wife KO na biglang naging Tinderang agaw-eksena din, parehas kayo ng asawa mo, mga papansin. BWAHAHA, ikaw kasi nahihiya ka pa. Magaling ka, pero kulangs pa. Wag ka kasing mahiya dahil maganda ka namang babae ‘no.

Sa Pharaoh KO, kapatid! Alam mo, kahit na parang ikaw na yung pinaka-kinakawawa ko sa cast, ok lang yan. Hindi na kita masyadong binibigyang pansin dahil alam kong marunong ka. Alam ko namang magaling ka eh. Kaya nga tayo magkapatid eh. AHAHA, laki na ulo oh. Biro lang.:D pero pramis, magaling ka talaga. Minsan, control lang sana sa galaw dahil minsan awkward ka. Apir.

At sa pogi at sikat KO na merchant na sinisigaw ng bayan ang pangalan, “NGOOOOOOOOOO!!!” hahaha, ang sarap mong pag-tripan. Nakakaasar nga lang dahil masakits ka na sumuntok minsan, at nagiging agresibo ka bigla.:P Mag-aral kang magtagalogs ng maayos! Nyahaha.:)

Sa Co-directorslashSMslashwardrobestaffslashmakeupslasheverythingelse kong si Nashee na karamay ko sa mga nakakalokong pinapagawa samen nina mam Narida, hello! HAHA, mabuhay tayo dahil tayo ay mga dakila! Ala na, ala nakong masabe, parate naman kasi tayong nagkaka-usaps ‘no.:P

May sasabihin sana ako para kay mam Narida pero wag na.:P Nakakatamad eh. Sasabihins ko nalang siguro o ano.

Ayun, sobrang bitin ako sa play. Palihim kong winiwish na magkaron ng part two.:DD

Hindi muna ako maggu-goodbye. Gusto ko pa ng encore eh. Til the next show nalangs.:D

Tapos na ang play. Ngiting kampyon ang lahat.

Sabi ni ate Loves sakin: “Kaya mo na! Pwede ka na.”

Ang sarap pakinggan. :))

Super Massive Blackhole by Muse

Sobrang saya lang ng araw na’to.. Hindi ko alam kung pano nangyare pero parang ang ganda ng daloy ng mga bagay-bagay. Sobrang sakto, kakatapos lang ng MMAB at Poner Fin at may oras ako para mag-enjoy.

At sobrang saya nga naman ng buong araw na’to.

Simulan natin sa biglaang pag-aya sakin ni Mara nuong madaling araw.. at sunod-sunod na! Hindi ako tinanghali ng gising. Matino ang damit na suots ko. Nakapagbonding kami ng sobrang mabuti ng Bal ko. Ano pa, diba?

Ayown, SM North at Trinoma sa umaga hanggang hapon. Jamaican Patties. Tekken 6. House of the Dead 3. Time Crisis 4. UST trips. SM Val. Mcdo Watermelons float. CR adventures with Daryl. ANG SAYA!

its been a while since i’ve had this much fun.:))

Ayown.

Ayown. Ang oras ngayon habang tinatype ko ‘to ay 11:28PM. Dec. 7, 2008.

Ayown. Linggoday ngayon. Kakauwi lang naming ng mabuti kong pamilya from JalibiBiBi na 24/7 open pala. Nakita ko pa si Angelo Padodo.

Ayown. Kanina, nanalo nanaman si Pacqiao laban kay De la Hoya. Yun ang unang laban ni Pacquiao na sinubaybayan ko talaga. Ang gandang balita diba? Masaya lahat. tapos…

Ayown. Magandang pambungad ng Showbiz Central. Patay na si Marky Cielo. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba kong magmura ng malakas o maski kahit anong magandang gawin para makalimot ako sa katotohanan. Mangiyak-ngiyak, nanghihinayang, naiinis, nashock, natameme, natulala, nautal, napamura sa sarili ko – lahat yun naisip at nainternalize ko habang nakikinig sa balitang patay na si Marky. Oo, patay na nga si Marky Cielo na dating StarStruck contestant lamang. Of all the famous people na pwedeng mamatay, bakit sya pa diba? Sayang, peyborit ko pa man din yun. Di ako super fan pero natutuwa ako sa kanya kasi ang galing nya sumayaw. Oh well.. he’s dead. May his soul be blessed na lamang. Still, malungkot pa rin. Iba talaga pag Kapuso ang namamatay.:((

Ayown. Nanuods kaming Twilight. Ok naman sya. GUSTO KO UMULIT. Salamat sa Twilight, panandalian kong nakalimutan na patay na pala si Marky Cielo. Pero syempre, malungkot pa rin.:((

Ayown. Nakakagatong pa sa kalungkutan yung fact na ______________________________________________________________________… Akin nalang yung reason na yun. Hehe.:)\

Lahat-lahat… malungkot talaga. Hindi ako maka-get over sa mga bagay-bagay. Tsk.

This is a late post. I wasn’t able to surf the net that night.

Nov. 29

So as of now, I don’t really know what to think of things.

I guess I changed.

They did too.

We all did.

But I stand by my statement.

Disappointing pa rin talaga kasi akala ko…

Is it my fault?

Part lang siguro. I could not take all the blame as everyone has to share parts of the blame - just like any other problem.

I became more preoccupied with other things… as usual.

Alam ko namang meron akong tendency maging workaholic.. then hate things at the same time.

I miss my friends.

I miss them - the way they used to be.

wala na din namang mangyayari kahit ibalik yung dati eh. dadating at dadating siguro talaga sa ganung point ang mga bagay2.

Almost like a relationship, but not quite.

It is a phase where the people involved are more than friends, but not quite lovers.Puwedeng may verbal agreement, puwedeng wala.

One or both of you may have admitted your feelings, possible din na hindi.
You just let your gestures do the talking for you.
Walang pormal na ligawan na nangyari.
Hindi kayo. Pero sa kilos niyo, sa mga sinasabi niyo, parang kayo, pero hindi.

This kind of “relationship” can happen at different stages for different reasons.

It can happen after a break-up.

You still love each other, and you want to be with each other but you broke up for a reason.

And for reasons that you alone know, ayaw niyo na muna magkabalikan.
It can also happen before a relationship, iyong pareho kayong nakikiramdam.
Possible din na ayaw niyo munang mag- seryoso kaya kunwa-kunwarian lang muna.
Testing lang. (tama ba un?!)

Puwede ring hindi puwedeng maging kayo kasi isa sa inyo may ka-relasyon na.
Kaya habang hindi pa siya nakikipag-break doon sa girl, wala muna kayong relasyon para nga naman hindi siya nangangaliwa kasi “hindi naman kayo.”
This pseudo-relationship stage, for a time, can be fun.
Lalo na kung naghahanap ka lang naman ng kalaro.
Pero huwag ka lang mag-eexpect na may patutunguhan kayo kasi wala talagang kasiguraduhan.

So bakit ang daming nagse-settle sa ganitong set-up ganoong hindi naman sigurado kung may patutunguhan?
Iba’t ibang dahilan..
Puwedeng for fun lang.
Puwedeng “buti na iyan kesa wala“. Meaning, habang wala pa yong the real thing, doon muna sa kunwa-kunwarian.

For those who are not in a serious relationship, they would think that pseudo-relationship is better than no relationship at all.
It would be fun, if all you’re after is that “kilig” feeling.
But then I learned that although it was only a pseudo-relationship, the emotions were real.
And usually, in this kind of set up, merong malulugi.Yung nainlove sa taong taken na.Una, you can’t ask him to commit.Since it’s not really a relationship, you can’t demand commitment from your partner.Ano ba kayo?You will always be uncertain about your role in his life.You can’t expect him to be always there with you.And if you feel jealous of the other girls, you just have to keep it to yourself.Ano ka ba niya para magselos?Pangalawa, what if you fall deeply in love with him?You can’t be sure if he feels the same way.Baka nag-a-assume ka lang na mahal ka rin niya.Even if you are dying to tell him you love him, you can’t.Because you’re not sure if he will like it.Baka mapahiya ka lang.This stage will always make you wonder where you are in the relationship.Or if there is a relationship at all.Pangatlo, what if you become attached too much.What if you have invested all your emotions and this man hasn’t?What if you remain faithful to him, not entertaining other boys, only to find out that he is seeing other girls?Isa pang downside ng pseudo- relationships, it is fleeting.When a disagreement sets in, or when one of you gets cold, then that would be the end of it.Unlike in a serious relationship, hindi mo alam kung saan ka lulugar sa isang pseudo-relationship.Wala kang pinanghahawakan.Kasi sa pseudo-relationship, 

there is no “us” meron lang….

 “you and me“. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

eto ang first entry ko in a long time.:))

pramis, after dis, mas madalas nakong magbablag para mas maraming makaka-access ng mga naiisip ko.:)

i miss my HS friends.:D kita2 ngayong foundation.:)

Emba dreams

“Kuya, hindi ba ikaw yung naka-highlights dati?”

“Oo.”

“Alam mo po, lagi ka naming pinapansin. Tsaka din po yung ibang tao, lagi kang napapansin.”

May mga bagay na ngayong college ko lang talaga napagtanto at narealize. Meron din naming mga rediscovered bullshit na nakaipit sa sulok ng utak ko.

Yung ideyang ang college life ay isang malaking party.

… na magkakaron na ko ng laya ngayong college.

… Embassy dreams.

… na magkakaroon ako ng barkadang parang DorStepAlJi ule.

Nung hayskul, sobrang excited ako mag-college. Inisip ko na magiging sobrang laya ko na. Party-party, mga ganun. Ang naalala ko pa ngang tingin sakin ng iba noon eh ako yung “party people” na tipo ng tao, laging gimik, punta dito, punta dun. Sosyal ba, ‘dong. Kabalo man mo ug akong gisabi?

Basta ayun.

Tapos ngayon, na-realize ko na di pala ko bagay sa mga ganung klaseng bagay.

No, I am not bitter… nor defensive. In fact, I am happy.

Hindi ako yung taong pang-sosyalan, siguro dahil na rin sa mga iba’t-ibang problema na aangat kapag sinubukan kong lumebel.

Baka nga naman mapahiya lang ako pag sinubukan ko yung mga ganung bagay.:P Syempers, ayoko ng ganun.

Mas bagay lang siguro talaga sa taong tulad ko ang pagtambay sa skool. Kaibigan at oras lang ang kelangan, masaya ka na.:))

La lang. Walang mai-blog.:P

So what really happened during my day?

There wasn’t really anything special that day. Just met up with my friends, had some halo-halo (at may konting skandalo syempre), watched half of Saw at my Bal’s house, had a lil party at our house with my family and cousins, and titas..and that’s it!Pero solb ako nung araw na yun..Masaya din kasi eh?Hehe..:)

That’s about it!Hehe..

Social fire..? Or plain shallowness?

I just came from the comfort room. I changed from my CAT uniform to the black "Chupulz" shirt that I bought. (we had it made for a few of us Cecilian seniors..) As I was about to sit down and prep myself up for a trip to the mall, a friend of mine read the text on the shirt. The conversation went like this..

Him : Chupulz ka? Bulogi ako eh.

Me : Ano ka ba? Binili ko yan kasi kelangan daw.

Him : Sapakan nalang! *laughs*

Another one happened at the mall. Another friend of mine walked over to my area then we had small talk. Looking at the shirt that I was wearing, he told me, "I despise the shirt that you’re wearing."

Oh my God. Why are people over reacting to everything so suddenly? Or do they really hate each other?

To clear things up, Chupulz and MLBG are two different cliques. And I don’t know if this is the thing but they don’t like each other.

Now back to what I was saying a while ago, although the conversation was meant to be humorous, it made me think how shallow people are. Chupulz against MLBG? MLBG versus Chupulz? They are two different cliques for God’s sakes! From how they deal with people to the way they act, the two are very different. And I don’t see the point why the Chupuls are wanting to challenge the latter. (based on my observations, I should point out..)

Let’s face it, the two groups are both immature in some ways. But still, that’s not enough reason for them to fight. It’s like so lame, dude? You’re going to pick a fight out of sheer angst? Garbage, man. That is garbage.

Now why am I blogging about this? Because I feel like I’m caught up between them. I mean, I like MLBG better (hooray..) BUT they are misunderstand the part where I joined the clan of the Chupulz.

Yes, I am a member of the Chupulz text clan (or whatever they call it) but I have my reasons! Clans are for socialization. I am a social kind of person. That’s it.

God, I don’t know what to do with these people. They don’t like each other but they get along in some way. Weird?..

+++++

I am currently working on my Values Education project and all I can say is…

..

..

"OH GOD..HELP ME.."

Jumping of a cliff and enjoying the experience!

Jumping off a cliff…and enjoying the thrill!

Before this school year began, I was already expecting a few things. And as the days went by, I’ve had more than what I was expecting.

Things didn’t go the way they were planned, some in good ways while some in bad ways.

Last June, I was asked by my friends if I would like to audition for the school’s dance troupe, to which I replied to positively. We practiced over and over again. We tried to perfect the routine.

Then the auditions itself came. I was having the jitters since the night before. After another group of seniors performed, me and my friends were called immediately to come up on stage and show ‘em what we can do.

The music stopped. Our chance to be part of the school dance troupe went ‘kaput!’ as somebody announced that we weren’t on the list of the accepted aspirants.

I dwelled on the idea that I wasn’t just good. I programmed my mind to forget what happened because it just made me sad.

More losing battles followed. Then I got used to it. But still, I gave my best in every contest that I joined.

Finally, in the “Dalawahang Awit” contest that I joined in, me and my partner (Veronica de Jesus, a classmate of mine) became victorious! We were 2^nd placers in that contest.

I was new to singing contests. I never even tried to sing in karaoke bars! Joining that contest was actually a struggle. Nobody else wanted to sing and we had to get representatives pronto!

It (the award and opportunity) was something that just came to me as sheer luck…with hints of effort and hard work, maybe?

And because of that, I received more contest permits and other forms of recognition.

Now, I am proud to say that I am an active member of many school organizations. I can now look forward to receiving 5 awards when graduation day comes. I feel like I’m on a roll! And I tell you, it’s a great feeling.

In the end, I thank the heavens for having me lose in the other contests. If it hadn’t been for the experience of failure, I wouldn’t do my best on things that I do. Through losing, I learned that we must always try to do our best even though the odds are against me.

Losing became some sort of testimonial that I was not good enough…yet. It just means that we need to continue to hone our craft!

There are a lot of room for us to improve ourselves. That’s why there are contest and other events in this world that can help us realize that we are in need of improvement.

Yes, I lose. But I win also. And there’s nothing to feel bad about when you lose.

So I strived hard and kept on fighting… and I made sure I gave my opponents a good fight. ‘Cause when you simply let them win without even trying to hit them, that wouldn’t feel right, would it?

In life, there are many “contests”. You just have to be experimental with things and try something new and know where you’re good at in the process. And while you’re at it, why not enjoy the experience?

If you want to achieve something new, do something that you don’t usually do. ‘Cause when you do the same things over and over again, you’re going to get the same things again and again. Like how the old saying goes (with a bit of additions provided by me, of course)…

“Live life to the fullest. Live life FEARLESSLY…”

The Retreat..

Finally!After 2 days of waiting, I can now write my blog! And after weeks of thinking of something to gab about, here’s another one..Hehe..

It’s been a while since I’ve written something here. And it kinda makes me feel happy that I have something to write about again..Hehe..Drama!

—–

PRE-RETREAT

I was so damn excited! I was already counting the days before the day itself. I already planned what to do, what to buy, what to bring, what to everything!

Monday came. Just one more day to wait! It was our long test. So I breezed through the exams as usual. (Yabang!Haha!Nagdugo nga utak ko eh?) After the exam, me and my friends (Macky, Archie, and Gab) went to the local mall-slash-supermarket and "shopped" for some snacks. It was kinda creepy because there was this stupid-looking bald guy that followed us around "discreetly" (his meaning of the word which meant "obviously") the place. I got so darn pissed so after I bought what I wanted to buy, I stared at him while he was staring at my other friends…then I gave him this smile and wink that sorta meant "Hey,buttwipe. Go away and watch other people’s backs." to which he reacted to by leaving. A victory for me!Haha!

Later that afternoon, I had a contest which was the extemporaneous speech. I placed third! Victory # 2 for me!XD

Then that night, I had a fight with my mom. Of course, that was considered a losing battle. (I’m goin to talk more about this next time..) After that, I fell asleep already. Then when I woke up..And I prepared to leave already..I was kinda problematic about my mother’s thoughts..but what can I do? It was already done so i left the house without lettin anybody know..:p

I went to Marlo’s house coz I texted him that I’ll be hitching a ride with him.A few minutes later and we were already at school!..

(update later)
