Im a TEATRO, this is my life

It was done by the dynamic members last fun day (mid-year workshop) of TEATRO Lasalliana's Batch 23 (On The Edge Queue). Each and every one of the members shared their experiences from probationary member days to present. Lots of of them made me teary-eyed. Unfortunately I wasn’t capable to contribute my dissertation because I'm presently leave of absence but I’ll come back. For the meantime, its time to carve up my thoughts.

1st Week of May, I can’t remember when is the precise date. Following to the orientation of our college, we had this university sightsee together with the conscription of different organizations in DLSU. For the duration of our course, Lasallian Pointes and Flexes and DLSU-Brass Band performed, given that I'm a previous dancer I'm planning to join Pointes and Flexes. Then this girl came to me, she was Ate Radnee of TEATRO Lasalliana –solitary theater organization in DLSU. By means of Exposure Trip at CCP, complimentary acting workshops and scholarship, I'm so astonished so that day I directly filled-up an application form. Weeks passed by I truly don’t know If I will persevere to pursue my application form, rumors swell that TEATRO is that convoluted, complicated also they will mess up your social life and entire college life. But when the very last day of screening came, in spite of all the gossips, I passed my application form. I undergo three screenings and fortuitously I passed. July 7 2006, Batch 22 to be General Assembly, there were 23 of us but then instantly, we lessen one by one. Even for my part, I planned to give up, but with all of the foundations, I made it. We made it. October 22 2007, from 100 aspirants, down to 23 probees, it came along to 9 innovative members. We called ourselves LINDOL (there’s a chronicle behind that). We became new members, more pressure, more demands, more expectations and more opportunity. Despite the verity that we have restless nights, deficiency in our class, I don’t know why I'm still here. Every now and then, I crave to stop; I feel like to be an usual student. But I don’t identify why I keep holding on to this organization, to this family. Yes a FAMILY, maybe its one of the reason why I carry on on holding, I found a new family, a new life. A family that ceaselessly there when I call for them, particularly throughout my financial catastrophe days, a family that I know will never bestow me to others, a family that accepted me for who I am, no qualm no suspicions. Right now, as I’ve said I'm presently LOA. Next semester I’ll be back to study again but sorry to say I can’t go back to TEATRO. I necessitate filling up what I’ve missed in school so I be able to come back next summer. It was depressing; when Batch 23 crossed the threshold I wasn’t there to contribute my wisdom that I’ve learned from my seniors. But hey, this isn’t the end of the world. I know I’ll be back (although I need to catch-up a lot). I’ll be an Alumnus. I’ll be a mentor to the upcoming batches. I'm overconfident that I'm a TEATRO Member. Go For Truth!

big gays don't cry

I've been further than three months at Jollibee Paseo de Sta. Rosa and in that little amount of time, several things happened, much alteration has been made. Aside from the fact that I gained 11 lbs. from my unswerving weight of 95 lbs, so I must to lose 15 pounds to be skinny again. Haha. Desperada? Well, I advised myself that at this juvenile age of 16 ( oops! 2 months before my 17th birthday!) I need to find love. Bongga! Ha-ha. Also I know that when I finally have a job, I'll most likely find someone exceptional who does fancy me because I'm good at bed but for the reason of who I am. Then last June 18, I met my PANGET in the same company, actually I met him since my PHA Days but we've got closer and closer of course. He's also an employee at Jollibee and he's on the kitchen (another clue to Mam Jules. Haha). Actually former crew. He's not that just the thing guy that 'makalaglag-panty' but I saw impressive in him that prepared me fall in-love with him. Well, going back to June 18 2007, its pay-day and my co-workers decided to have some drinking session. After few shots of Emperador Brandy, I felt tipsy that's why I fell asleep and when I woke-up I found myself resting at his lap, END OF THE STORY! Haha. That's it! That was start of something new. We call each other day by day, texts each other but since he left Jollibee we hardly ever see each other. We just hang-out throughout drinking sessions and we does that twice a month only. Weeks had passed; our connection is just like that. Like an emblematic love affair, we fight over small things and convalesce the same day we argue. Then I woke up one day and I realized that my feelings for him started to become paler away, he always tell me that he adore me but I don't know, I can't feel the sparkle anymore between us. I know it's not third party why I said goodbye to him. Okay, I will admit that there's other man in the picture but it's just an infatuation and an inspiration during working hours so I'll be more committed to my work and his name is Ken. But I know it wasn't Ken that's why I'm losing my feelings for Panget. I've been thinking, and one day I think I've found an answer. On a phone call with Panget, I told him that I realized something, He & I, this wonderful thing we have together, and it’s all or nothing. I mean all this time I've been trying to figure out how we will survive this kind of relationship. We've been attempting to figure out what the future holds for us but we just don’t know and it hasn't gotten us anymore. Because it’s all or nothing, it's that simple. So that's the last time we communicate. He was crying and I wasn't. There's no commitment between us, no monthsary or courting happened. Mutual Feelings but deeper than that. It's funny I guess but I'll always think of our time as three months "we we're together" even though technically we were a couple for only two while one month was spent in an agonizing flirting. Haha. Going to Ken. ( ang landi ko! ) To be honest when Panget and I are still together, Ken is on the picture and he didn’t know that. At first my thoughts for Ken is really an infatuation but then days had passed, from the moment that my schedule is always closing, we became closer since he's closing too. We called each other 'mahal' and our co-workers always tease us and I just realized that I've falling for him. Every jamming at Lumil Silang Cavite we became closer than ever. We text each other. And that's it but there's something special between us. Until he resigned in work. I barely miss him and we rarely see and communicate each other till the closing team decided to have this drinking session again. We met again, we talked about ourselves, what will happen when I leave Jollibee by October. We told ourselves that we will go back to school and graduate college. Then I get his cell phone. There are texts messages of mine but there are from this girl ‘akimi’ I don’t know her so I asked him whose akimi. And I found out that he was courting her. “I see” I just said. Things had settled into the almost the same old comfortable connection during that late night but I had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. I found it hard to concentrate on what he was saying: essentially, that he was so excited courting Akimi, this girl he had been seeing kind of casually. We discussed Akimi for more than half-hour, with me of course fishing questions out of the air like a startled newscaster, and Ken answering each of them proudly and earnestly. I had taken blinking rapidly, trying to overcome my shock. Sometimes while listening to him that night, Ken’s voice faded and instead, I can hear in my head saying repeatedly like a scratched CD, “oh my God! Oh my God. Oh my” Later on, when the initial forehead-slapping shocker had worn off and I felt much calmer with the help of Gilbeys Gin, I went inside the house (since we does the drinking session at the Nipa Hut) I went to sleep and sleep. Although I know it was a small gamble, leaving Panget because of Ken at some point, albeit one that I magnified a hundred-fold, I was glad I was that sort of person who would do anything for a real connection. I was, I was comforted myself, in very good company. I’m still young. I know it was the happiest and most in love I had ever been. : )

a day at UP Diliman

I went this afternoon to Quezon City somewhere in Monumento to get the Jolly Kids Apparel for our Kiddie Party Promo. Since I didn't get lost, I resolute to give myself a reward. I don’t know, I was supposed to go in DLSU Manila to buy Animo Shirts, since I'm already in QC, I decided to go nalang in UP Diliman. One of my dream schools, too bad I wasn’t able to get the UPCAT. (Eh di sana Iskolar din ako ngayon!) But I’m glad that I am a proud Lasallian. Well, at first I really don’t know what route I will suppose to go. I keep on asking these stupid non-sense strangers but they’ve giving me these wrong information’s. Thank God to Rainna, I text her and she told me everything. Then, I finally traversed by a jeepney in SM North Edsa to UP Campus. I feel so stupid that time. When I’m on my way to UP, I thought “ang layo naman ng UP!” but when I finally got there, I was amazed with the environment. The grass, the buildings, the students and everything was so great! As well as the “scholars”, when I looked at them I’m thinking that these students were so smart. The first stop was in Shopping Center, I said to myself that I need at least a souvenir, since it’s my first time to there actually, I don’t know what’s the name of the shop basta its sells UP Merchandises. I bought UP T-Shirt for 220php and it’s so cute. I love it! I really wanted to buy more but I don’t have enough money. Shopping Center isn’t that big but they’ve got it all for you (Haha SM?). I keep on walking and walking. Trying to observe every detail of each place that I’ve seen, I feel so free. I’m so happy that time. Then I realized, “Why I didn’t take UPCAT?” Maybe there’s purpose and one by one I can see why.

This is my first post to blogger.com and I am so happy! I am a blogger eversince highschool but I do always use my friendster blog and multiply. :)

LA SALLE WINS ITS 7TH TITLE ON THE 7TH DAY OF OCTOBER 2007 IN THE 7TH DECADE OF THE UAAP WHICH HAD ITS FIRST GAME ON JULY 7, 2007.This is a UAAP season that would drive a mathematician crazy. The equations are not right. The team that should didn't and the team that shouldn't did. Beating Ateneo twice in 5 games, the Green Archers get to the finals. Today, 2 straight was far better than 14 straight. La Salle had an overall record of 13 - 6 while UE had 14-2, but La Salle wins the most coveted prize in Philippine college basketball, the UAAP Men's Senior Basketball Crown.
