Naghanap kung saan pa maaaring ibuhos ang talento matapos yanigin ang apat na sulok ng teatro, sumiklab sa mga munting puso ng mga kabataang naguumapaw ang pagka-Pilipino ang regalo ng pagsayaw. Sa bawat hampas ng mga kamay, sa bawat galaw ng ulo, sa bawat alindog ng baywang, at sa bawat pagsabay sa tunog – isinisigaw at ipinaglalaban ang wasto, ang tama, at higit sa lahat, ang dugo.

Binuo ng mga kabataang patuloy na nabubuhay sa apoy ng sining na siyang handog ng Diyos,

Isang sayaw para sa bayan,

Isang sayaw para sa teatro,

Ito ang ENTAYAW ng ENTABLADO.
write up by Joshua Lagandaon

ENTAyaw!, was established(haha) through the efforts of John Leinard Ramos, Virlynn Ramirez and Meenuh Elfa. ENTABLADO's dance crew started during the Buwan at Baril days. Their first performance was at the BnB Production Party. :)

Leinard Ramos, Meenuh Elfa, Virlynn Ramirez, Mika Ostonal, James Jumalon, and Joyce. :)

Kalil, Josh and i joined ENTAyaw! for a dance number in Pat Pena's debut. :)

Leinard Ramos, Virlynn Ramirez, Mika Ostonal, Meenuh Elfa, Timee Gorecho, (somewhere)Kalil Almonte,
with special guests Ariel Diccion and Jethro Tenorio :D (JOSH was sick, so di sha nakapagsayaw. boo)

around two weeks ago, ENTABLADO held auditions for ENTAyaw. But either way, anyone who had the guts to audition got in.

Now, ENTAyaw! is composed of Josh Lagandaon, Jika Regala, Timee Gorecho, Mike Gaisano, Judge de Asis, Nicole Cambal, Jer Dimayacyac, Gabby Gonda, Dach Casiple, John Leinard Ramos, Kate Coderes, Jen Magno, Pam Yson, Jame Say, Tonio Mendoza and with our head, Danica Pasia. (did i forget anyone? sorrrryy! tell me) But because of hectic schedules and demanding course requirements, most of the ENTAyaw! members weren't able to join the CADs Rhythm In Blue Eliminations last Friday. :)

The LAST 10 STANDING were Josh, Jika, Timee, Mike, Judge, Nicole, Jer, Geoc, Gabby and Dach. (technically 9, coz Josh had PHILO orals. boo. josh palagi ka nlng wala. haha kidding)



After 2 weeks of rehearsals.. with the help of friends, and with the integration of our creativity and imagination, we came up with a simple(it wasn't really simple at first. bwahaha) routine for the RIB ELIMS, which took place last August 29,2008 at the Gonzaga Exhibit Hall from 4:30-6pm. :D We did BILOG twice, and of course, the ENTAsigaw! hahaha. :D We were third to present and we were all so excited. :)

ENTAyaw! in 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
SEPTEMBER 19!! CADs RHYTHM IN BLUE, HENRY LEE IRWIN THEATER
Abangan.

break a leg! <<-- should not be taken seriously.

how unfortunate can i be?

ENTABLADO is joining CADs' (Company of Ateneo Dancers) Rhythm in Blue Inter-org Dance Competition. :D and just this afternoon, i got so into the rehearsals....

i sprained my ankle. :(
(my foot looks so disgusting. nangingitim. eek)







i've been in this position for over 3 hours now. with lance (laptop) and koko krunch beside me.
this is just soooo sad.


during that moment when i sprained my pretty ankle, i suddenly told myself. "shet, di na ako makakaakyat sa ENTA ROOM" and it reminded me of a dream i had the other night.


i dreamt that i was pregnant. and i was so confused as to how it happened. but i looked cool with it. i was okay with having a baby. and everyone knew. my parents, everyone. the baby inside me was about 4months. and it looked like a boy. it felt like a boy was inside me. i mean. a BABY BOY was inside my womb. hahaha! and with the baby in my womb, as i was going up to ENTA ROOM i said, "magbababay na ako sa mga tao don! DI NA AKO AAKYAT DITO!" because obviously, a flight of stairs isn't really good for pregnant women. :)


same for people who sprained their ankles. HAHAHAHA. i cannot go anywhere in this condition. our dorm prefect told me that it will take me two days for this shiznit to heal. TWO DAYS.
what was i supposed to do in those two days?
- make theo paper. (which is okay because i have a laptop)
- make theo part for the theo reporting (which is okay too because i have a laptop)
- ENTAyaw rehearsals. oh dear. i don't think i can.
- NSTP on saturday. hopefully i will be okay on sat. HOPEFULLY. i miss nstp.
- i have classes. to go to. i can go, if i can actually get crutches. huhuh
- area for SPEED.
- OH packing tape. i have FS tomorrow. huhuhu. iL have to cancel it. shiiiit. :((

good thing i have my laptop and the internet with me. to keep me company. arrrrgggh..
i swear. this is just so hassle.

i remembered when i sprained my ankle on the same foot, about 3-4 years ago back when i was in highschool. i sprained my ankle because i was jumping around because i saw my crush. haha. how malandi. anyway. it took around a week to let the thing heal. i wore slippers to school. which was cool HAHAHA. tapos when i sprained my ankle, i was crying forever when i got home because i couldn't move my foot, i couldn't walk or anything. for more, i had this really really big sleepover the next day at my friends' house and i've been waiting for that sleepover ever since that start of the year. i begged my mom to let me go and promised not to move around a lot. HHAHHAHAHAHAHA. whatever. i still went. it hurt more. which was why it took a week to heal. HAHAHA


SO NOW. I'M GOING TO STAY PUT. arrrggghhh.
please pray for my foot.
did you guys know whenever a part of my body hurt, my mom and i used to talk to it. like my sprained ankle. we talked to it. asking what its problem was, and comforted it like it was an entity apart from me. HAHA. it healed immediately after the conversation with the foot. :)

so maybe, i will talk to my foot. :)
GOODLUCK to me. break a leg! (not literally. please)

if you cannot reach for your bag, reach for the stars.

it's so ironic that our topic for our physio play is on SLEEP. and that's exactly what we're all lacking. or. what i'm really really really desperate for.

our physio class consists 70 people. 2 groups, the 3rd year AB PSYCH group, and the 2nd year BS PSYCH GROUP. napunta sa amin ang sleep topic. while the bs got the SEX topic. okay lang. although sex is more interesting, i think we've made sleep very very very interesting. kahit "sleep" ang topic. haha. labo.

and since the chapter on sleep was divided into 5 sub-chapters.. we were divided into 5 sub-groups narin. and i ended up with james, klau, lei, oli, gar, deni. :D and i'm so glad i ended up with them. hahaha. well. cno pa nga ba naman. hahahah. thanks guys. sobrang. GOOD JOB TAYO. AS IN SOBRANG GOOD JOB. proud ako sa sarili natin. *pats herself* i'm just glad that it's all over, and that i can get sleep now. woooohhh. shet toh. love it. i love it. i love you guys. promise. :)

our sub-group was assigned the topic on WHY WE SLEEP. and although the sub-chapter was full of terms and stuff. there are a few things i picked up from "my dissertation" HAHAHA.

1. LACK OF SLEEP causes degradation of cognitive functions.
this is so true. thus, the title of the blog. kanina i went to mass with deni, and sobrang. sabog. if you know the definition of sabog, THIS IS THE ETYMOLOGY OF SABOG. US. as in sobraaa.. like. in the middle of the mass, i asked deni. "how do you say hi to yourself?" (if you can show me how that is, great) sobrang sabog. i don't think my cognition is even functioning anymore.

2. and obviously. since i lack sleep, i've learned that you CANNOT REGAIN THE SLEEP THAT YOU'VE LOST. so. for every night that you fall short of the 8hour sleep, you lose brain cells. kahit you sleep for 12hours the next day, you'll never get back the lost brain cells. i want my brain cells. compared to an average atenean, i certainly lack brain cells. and i wouldn't want to lose more. so i will sleep now.

3. the more mental activity you have, the more of stage 4 or REM sleep you get. and this stage, or REM SLEEP is the most important stage of SLEEP. bakit? "hay nako. makinig ka nga sa reporting ng ibang groups! why we sleep lang naman kasi ang dissertation ko!" hahaha. and whatever that stage is, if it's really important, i guess we should all have at least 8hours of sleep to be able to reach that stage. :) and about mental activity, in cogpsych, i learned that the stuff you study are rehearsed in your brain while asleep. so. if you get more sleep, it will give you time to rehearse what you've learned. and rehearsal is important in processing information for storage in the long term memory. (SEE. I LEARN STUFF) so. we should engage in MORE MENTAL ACTIVITIES! :) to get more of REM sleep. if we don't get more of REM SLEEP. again. it's like lack of sleep. hahaha

4. i remember this very very clearly. bigger animals like lions get more sleep because they are not threatened by other animals. kaya. if you're small, you'll have to stay awake and be on the lookout for predators. for humans. since. we're. not really threatened by other animals. (like what?!?! diba. maybe from humans. i guess) i guess lang ha, we get lesser sleep than the lions, but more than the birds or something. ewan. pero. ewan. alam ko lang toh. hahaha

5. uy marami naman pala akong na learn from SLEEP! HAHAHA YOU GUYS KNOW THE CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES RIGHT? :D (left and right brain.) well. did you know that they take turns in sleeping? parang may shifT! HAHAHAH.

6. physical exercise, although no proof or evidences to support that hypothesis, is needed for our brain to function normally. :)

uy ang saya. yon lang naaalala ko. yun lang tlaga ang nag sink in sakin. yung mga lines ko. bwahahhahahaha. pero. it's so. fun. i learned at lot. and i wish i could upload the whole video. pero. it's 35 minutes long. imaginnne. hahaha. and the limit per group was 30 mins. and we needed around 40-45 minutes to present the whole thing, with prologue, video, ending and curtain call. :D HAHAHA


and what's in store for me this week?
- expe psy experiment/paper
- cog chapter 1 of paper
- theo LT
- theo chapter 1 of paper

WHOOOH. kaya ko toh. kaya ko toh. i just need to sleep.



CONGRATS GUYS!!!!! WE DID A GREAT JOB! WOOOOHH!
i just wanna post this from the yahoo groups, i hope james doesn't mind. hahaha. na touch lang ako. :) thanks din james. :D

TITLE: i never really liked disney. UNTIL YOU GUYS. :)
(FYI. our physio play was like ENCHANTED only baliktad. the modern-day guy got sucked in this storybook and met an elf named SLEEPY TIMEE, snow white, aurora and belle. :)

Hey guys :) Finally, natapos na natin ang physio natin. Ang sarap ng feeling. SOBRA.

If you guys are wondering kung totoo ung subject na isinulat ko jan, yup, it's very real.

I really never liked beauty and the beast, little mermaid, and all those other disney films,

pero now, whenever i hear Snow White, i think of Lei, pag ka Mrs. Pots naman, i think of deni,

pag Belle or Beauty, i think of Klau, pag, pag Aurora/Sleeping beauty, i think of Oli,

and pag Dwarf/Elf siyempre kaw lang un Sleepy TIMEE.

Salamat sa lahat for their contributions. EVERYONE GAVE IT A 130%. BINIGAY NATIN LAHAT,

and we should be proud of what we've accomplished, i know i am :)

In a way, physio created for me an opportunity to meet new friends. Siguro, it was destined for me

to have you guys as group mates. Ang galing nga eh, you made it so easy for me to form a group kasi

nagkusa na kayong lumapit sakin. I really appreciated that. SOBRANG THANK YOU DOON. Sana when

we see each other in school or even outside, mag-hi parin tayo ha??? I really enjoyed working with you

guys. We're a perfect team, sa ibang team mainit ulo ng tao, pero tayo, kahit sobrang deds na at gutom,

smile parin and push, never tayo nag stop to complain. I love you guys.

I'm not the madrama type of guy, pero you guys are worth the drama. You guys never really showed me na

we were new friends, nagkakahiyaan, plastikan, etc, what you guys showed me was so genuine and so pure that

i thought for a while that matagal na tayong magkakakilala.

Thanks a lot guys. FOR THE MEMORIES, FRIENDSHIP, and the LOVE.

I love you guys.

From,

James Lee

oh! it's oli's birthday tomorrow! :D



HAHAHA so there. i just. have to. keep a hold of myself. HAHA but i feel so happy because i have it all under control. and i know exactly what i'm going to do next. i'm just sooo happy. :D :D :D

change of lifestyle. :)

is what i need right now. sure, being the Front of House head was super fun, but i got disoriented and i neglected my acads. oops. but now i'm back on track, and i have more time to reconnect myself with my dear books. :) but my acads isn't the only lifestyle change i'm pertaining to. i present. a total change of lifestyle. :)


CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE 1: ACADEMICS.
i have more time on my hands now, it's just that. this. internet addiction. it's making me. not study. and i know i have control over what i'm doing, and what i plan to do. so from now on, i'm cutting my internet hours. everyday, i'm spending only 4 hours on the internet, and more time for my books. i'm going back to my 'ol dusty rusting books. HAHA. i have to get back on my feet and study.

and i told pinky to remind me of the top3 reasons why i have to STUDY SUPER SUPER HARD. why i have to study passionately. why i have to study not just to make the grade but to LEARN. and the top 3 reasons are.
1. my family needs me.
2. my country needs me.
3. ____________ needs me. (if you get this, you're smart. if you get this but don't know why, i'm sorry i can't explain.)


those are reasons enough for me to study really really hard. i swear to God


OF LIFESTYLE 2: HEALTH
thank you portia for inspiring me. nakaka inspire ka talaga i love you. haha. i'm so going to try hard. argh. i will eat less and do more. let's get physical guys! since i do have more time on my hands, i think i will jog everyday of my life. and eat less but healthy foods. applying what i have learned from psych, i will reward myself. if i have jogged for every single day of the week, i will give myself a "BABOY DAY". i will eat everything i want to eat on baboy day, and i will not jog. hahaha. YAAAY. :)


CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE 3: Environment
this week, Ateneo Environmental Management Coalition launched its BYOB or Bring Your Own Baunan in the cafeteria this week. and it's a really really nice project (sorry for those who think otherwise. haha) because wala nang styro (condom oh!), plastic spoons and forks, and plastic stuff. diba? just by that, our use of non-biodegradable products will drop dramatically. awesome right.

so i'm buying a really really cute baunan (cympre, cartoons naman. or barbie or spongebob) and will try to bring it to school. :) hahah.


CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE 4: FAREWELL PROCRASTINATION.
actually i am procrastinating right now just by writing this blog. hahaha. but yes. i will dedicate all of my time to studying. and since i'm spending only 4 hours on the internet. i'm planning to change my method of recreation. i will try to READ. waaaaah shit. i don't like reading. i've forced myself to read books, but i put them down and forget about them. so. i will read.

GOALS TO REACH BY THE END OF THE SEMESTER:

- get good grades. well. haha.
- lose weight.
- save the earth!!
- READ. READ READ READ. :)

(do we need a reason to be happy? sorry it just sounds better in tagalog)

bakit? requirement ba sa buhay ang kalungkutan?
(is sadness a requirement in Life?)

EXACTLY. :)

thank you daddY!!

LOOK! LOOK! TWINS!

Zac Effron and gossipgirlwhat'shisface posing on the.. blue? carpet. HAHAHA
(thank you to PerezHilton for the photo.:)

get ready world. i'm coming right at YOU.

ho! ho! horaaay! horaay for me and my new blog. :)
i've had countless accounts in different blog havens, and i'm hoping to keep this shit! hahaha but i'm not letting go of my multiply blog.
according to my media locker, i have 500 blogs.
how cool is that!!! 500 blogs in two years.



hmmm NOT ENOUGH!
that only means i don't blog every single day.
and that's not right! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA






and i'm going to start this oh so faaaaay-bulous blog with

WHY PEOPLE BLOG. :)
(i want a bigger font!!!!
still getting used to this. new. blogging system. haha)

a few aeons ago, my friend once said .1
"blogs are what emo kids need to survive this cruel, cruel world"

and i commented on his blog and said "so true. haha!"
that was like a few months ago.

and now i realize, (after the realization that I AM A BLOGGER TOO), that blogs are what KIDS need to survive this cruel, cruel world. EMO. don't monopolize the blogging industry.

lol. admit it. the world isn't too nice to us right now. along with the technological advancements of the world, we have pedophilia, sex scandals, porntube, gang rapes, a more widespread use of drugs, broken families, premarital sex, teenage pregnancy, terrorism, corruption, and just more of everything. it's like any minute now, another hitler is bound to appear from seafoam and drop bombs everywhere.

and then we have blogs.

psychology majors know that adolescence is a very. uhm. (insert appropriate word here, something like crucial but not really, something like critical but less harsh) stage of a person's life. it's when an individual finds his/her identity. it's an age of confusion, or further curiosity, of exploration, of whatevers.

and yes, to deal with everything, if not most, some kids resort to BLOGGING. :) we, kids, are like coke in cans. there's so much going on our minds, so much to say, so much to think of, just so much of everything. when we're so fed up with things inside us, we have the tendency to explode! (i.e. schizophrenia, chronic depression, etc.)

just like coke. (try shaking it real hard) we need a venue to vent out everything. sure, there are friends. relatives. school counselors and stuff. but then it's different when you let it out the way you want it to. with no judgment to think about, no counselor to say "so how do you feel about it?" (and then deep inside you you're screaming right back at her, I JUST TOLD YOU!!!!!)
just when kids feel like they're all alone, like no one's listening to them, they blog.

and then they feel like the whole world's watching. listening to every word you type. releasing energy is therapeutic. some people feel better after writing down their feelings and insights. it's like unloading a heavy burden. (heavY? burden?) and it's more addicting when you know that lots of people see your blog, comment your blog. because you know that people are giving you attention. :)


ATTENTION. hmmm.

2. i believe that there's this little ME inside all of us that screams for attention at every opportunity it can grab. and it's just not obvious at the conscious level. this attention-seeking little freak is what we call our ID. yeah, we all know that our ID is our inner child. and it's unconscious. we don't know it's there. WE DENY IT'S THERE. but it's there. promise. hahaha



There's this theory by JO and HARRY (i forgot their real names but i swear this is true):
THE JOHARI WINDOW (hmm i wonder who made this theory. haha) There are four windows:

• window1 is the self that is known to yourself and to others, or what everyone knows about you and what you know about yourself too..
  
• Window2 is the self that is known to yourself but unknown to others, meaning, what you hide. secrets. dreams, attitudes you don't want people to know.
  
• Window3 is the self that is unknown to yourself and known to others. it's what people think of you that you are unaware of. :)
• and the last window. this window was said to be an individual's TRUEST self. :) this is where the SELF is unknown to you and to others. HOW COOL IS THAT. it's like having another person inside of us (wait. that didn't sound right. but you get the point), we just don't know he's/she's there. why is this considered to be the truest self? because. this is where our mannerisms, dreams, slips come in. things we cannot control, things we are unaware of doing come from our unconscious. and this is dangerous because it unvoluntarily shows. HAHA.

so even if we don't really admit that we want attention, blogging is a way of seeking that attention. yes, let the world know that we hate our parents, let the world know how much we secretly want to take home that hottie you saw by the photocopying booth. let the world know who we really are. HAHAHA

lastly...


3. EVERYONE'S BLOGGING. why shouldn't we?! hahahahaha
In Maslow's heirarchy of needs, the 3rd level of need that every person should be able to attain is BELONGINGNESS. hahaha. ADMIT IT! we want to belong to the world. (hell yeah we should WANT it. haha)
