"...alam kong wala jan si ate marites, pero pwede ko po ba sanang iwan yung baby ko sa inyo??"

"hindi ka rin pala papayag!!!"

"ang hinahanap ko lang naman sa tatay mo ay siya mag palit ng lampin mo habang nagtitimpla ako ng kape niya!"

"tingin niya lang sa anak, kalaro. yon ang idea niya ng quality time. gusto niya 5 years old ka na, 5 years old kasi ang isip niya! "

"di niya alam na bago magiging 5 ay magiging 1, 2, 3!!"

"hello mrs. crespo, si toinette po ito maam... baka mamayang hapon nalang po ako papasok.. kasi po.. kasi po... may LBM po ako maam!"

*silence*

November 22 - Saturday
i didn't have a show so i spent my morning till around 5pm with my tita and tito. :) i went to richmonde hotel in ortigas to meet them, ate breakfast, and while they fixed their stuff ready for check out, i slept. i was sooo tired. HAHA. then we went to trinoma to eat again. HAHA. went around. we were fetched by tita bebet's driver, and they took me back to ateneo just in time for the Gala Night.

The Gala Night plays were
Eyeball by Alfonso Dacanay (who by the way watched the play)
SBF or Single Brown Female by Jose Victor Torres
Tingnan Natin ang Mukha Niya by Nicolas Pichay
Nang Dahil Sa Init by Rody Vera
Walang Iwanan by +Rene Villanueva

I was an SM that night. (Stage Manager!) wooh. and. i must say. WE DID A GREAT GREAT GREAT JOB. the set changes were clean and quick. we were very organized. we did well. :) hoooray! i hope we get the same notes on our company call. :)

Every Gala Night of any production, everyone on the prod gets to bow, from the production team, artistic team, to the plays that didn't perform that night. :) everyone was required to wear black and red that night. :) i was in my black attire because i was an SM right. but i was very resourceful with my red accessory. :)

i pulled a lindsay lohan. PETA is going to kill me.
design by Tanjuan
concept by Gorecho

now below is a picture of me and dolly on the set of St. Anthony.

HAHAHA i'm creative like that. and yes, i bowed looking like that. :) it looks like a real coat noh? thank you to my sponsors, Stage and Props Committee, design by Tanjuan, concept by Gorecho. :) HAHAHAHA

here are other pics from the backstage. :)

After the gala night, we exited the theater and found, i dunno, 4? 5? boxes of KRISPY KREME DONUTS. everyone hoarded over the donuts!!! THANK YOU VIAN FOR THE DONUTS! WOOH!

the donuts weren't the only ones hoarded by people. we were all camera-hungry, so wherever the camera was, specifically ekha's camera, everyone crowded to that place. HAHA.

Sopas Sisters! Dianne, Timee (my eyes wide open), Ekha

Kuya Kalil's Cast!

just one of the pictures where people didn't have to rush to the camera. :)

condom, eli, mich, dianne and timee. i just popped my head in. HAHA

after everything, i grabbed ekha's camera and took a photo of myself.
no one rushing, no one in the picture but me. HAHA

We went to querico after for dinner and some. social drinking. HAHA but i didn't drink. :) neither did jer. because we were good kids. :) saving our liver for PROD PARTEY!!! YAHOOO!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA we went home early too, cam brought us back to ateneo at around 11:30.

here's the coolest thing ever. jer and i walked back to the dorm. outside the gate of our dorm, we found this snail creeping silently and slowly, so i did what i was dying to do ever since forever. (also the reason why i bought salt for the dorm). because mika, my ex-roommie said that if you sprinkle salt all over a snail, it will burn. and die.

oh it didn't burn. HAHAHAHAHA. i sprinkled lots and lots and lots of salt. it didn't burn. boo. it just died. i don't know why, it just died. jer and i took a twig and flipped the critter around to see his other side, the one not covered by the shell. no. it wasn't moving. nada.

may his soul rest in peace.

it was a good night. :)
