XPRES. :)

we just had the best show ever!!! ever since we started a week ago. :)
and i'm very very very proud to say that although sick, i did quite well, even better during the show awhile ago. :)

(gahd. by blogging this, it only means i'm procrastinating again, with the million of stuff i have to do. and i need rest.)


Balang Araw did a great job on stage.


I hope St. Anthony can top that. :)


i'm positive we will. :)


and in desperation, i finally went to the doctor to have myself checked up. it has been a long time since i last visited my doctor. haha. i like going to tito rey's clinic because he doesn't make me feel bad about my condition, unlike some doctors there. and he explains to me everything i need to know about my condition. which is. wonderful. :)

and so. here i am again, on medication.
he put me on steroids for 2 weeks. (dianne and gabby, quit insisting that i'll grow an adam's apple and have a deeper voice, because it doesn't make sense. i don't think steroids work that way. HAHA) and he said, if the symptoms of my usual allergies don't go away, i'll have to continue with the steroids. not only that, i'm back on seretide. seretide is just the expensive inhaler that i used to have. i like seretide because i don't get asthma attacks in like, 4 days. so yeah.

(this is educational) coz he explained that asthma attacks go in two ways: the blocking of the airway, the swelling of that membrane of the airway, which simply makes one have difficulty in breathing. the other one is the late phase of the asthma... there's inflammation and stuff involved... not only does the membrane around the airway swell, there are stuff in the airway that clogs it. swelling+clogging=hep hep hooray! making air difficult to pass through. and apparently, that's what's happening to me now.

i've been using my ventolin inhaler for maintenance. as what i've always known, i'm supposed to use it WHENEVER I NEED IT. apparently, my doctor thought "that's bad." because the ventolin pump should be used only every 4 hours. and taking it 3-4 times an hour is really. bad.


so tadaaa. :)

hey, a plus to why i can never be a nursing student. baka ako pa inurse ng pasyente ko. :) haha



Atty. Nick Pichay watched the show today, and he loved it!!!!!! :) Thank you for watching!
For a newbie production, i must say, WE'RE DOING REALLY WELL. :)
(newbie actors, directors, committee heads, etc)

i heard a few other playwrights are watching our remaining shows, and i hope the other plays do well too. GOOD LUCK TO ST.ANTHONY PRAY FOR US! gahd.

i've been thinking about this for awhile, i've shared it to others as well.
how a playwright must feel seeing his/her play being brought to life. :)
putting myself in the shoes of a playwright, and maybe i will be more biased because i'm a newbie at writing plays (no, my hs plays were. a blah. haha),
i'd feel honored and consider it as a favor for me, that these people are staging my play..
i'd be ecstatic seeing the characters born out of my imagination, coming to life on stage, seeing them in the flesh... hearing them...
i'd be roused hearing the background music, the sounds, the lights of the play i've written..
i'd be thrilled to see how the director understoof my play, and how he/she brought it to life.


this reminded me of the play i was writing for entablado's writers' bloc. :)

(i love this photo. this is going to be the cover)

i'm actually more excited seeing it on stage than finishing it. HAHA.
i'm not yet done, not even halfway, not even 1/4. HAHA.
scene 1. that's all i have. out of 8? i forgot.
it's a short one act play. a psychothriller. watch out for it. :)

to be able to see it on stage, i have to actually finish it. so yeah, i WILL finish it. :)


gahd i love theater. :)
it rouses me. :)

3:17 a.m.

BALIW
ni E.Therese Gorecho
(yah know. like. J.Dennis Teodosio? haha)


jika!! look oh!
it look exactly like my story! hahaha.
only. white walls, and the guy should be sitting down. HAHA

grabeh oh, i can't believe that it's almost 3 am and i'm still not sleepy and still working on my script. the script for writer's block was due 3 hours ago or something, i'm still not done with it... i'm working on scene 4. out of. 8 scenes. hey i'm halfway! :)

but it's just a bad sign that cramming makes me more productive. well maybe it it applicable when i'm making a paper, but it should never be applicable when i'm studying. booohooo. i should not cram this semester. i must change my lifestyle. no to cramming. please. no to splurge.

but i feel good honestly. about writing again. haha. for so long i've been wanting to write something morbid, something dark, something eerie, something uncomfortable. and maybe this is the script i've been wanting to write for so long. when i write, i try to see how it's going to happen on stage, which is why i'm having problems with putting so much stage directions in the script itself. i'm afraid that if i don't give out enough details, the future director of my play (if ever it will be staged, perhaps in a million years) will not be able to give justice to it. i'm just not that trustful. haha. because THIS IS MY WORK! and i guess as a newbie playwright, i have every reason to OWN IT LIKE IT'S MY BABY. huhuh. and trusting others with it is just not easy. :)

and i'm also having problems with. my story. i like it the way it is. but because i'm a cheery, perky, outrageous, wants-something-different kind of person, i want to read fun stories, funny plays, light movies, chick flicks and the like. and writing this isn't really easy for someone who's like that. :( as i write the script, i continue to bore myself, thinking that the play will not have background music because i want silence to be the melody of the play, or that i want each word that the guy says in the play the climax of every scene. it's all words. and i'm not that kind of person. (see, i don't really read. because a cornucopia (!!) of words is just. not. my thing. yah know. haha) but my play is. it's just words and words and words, with a rhythm and melody of its own (i hope). and i hope that the people see this too. (and thus i realize how writers must have felt when people give their own interpretations of their work. but. maybe i'm just like this because i'm new at this and i want the interpretation of my work, to be just as how i want it to be. HAHA) sigh. words.

i can do this. :)
sleep na timee. sleep na. :)
