The first set of shows for Summer of 42 this weekend is done. It has been quite thrilling and exhausting at the same time. And since it has been awhile since I last did any production, I missed the exciting rush of doing a show.

I’ll share a few photos from our show. All these were taken by Jorja Hung.

Looking back at the month and so, all that have transpired seems quite surreal. I would have never expected to...

This is just one of the things that have kept me really busy for the past month or so. See me sing, dance and play the eccentric Gloria, 40s style! And after quite a long hiatus from being on stage, I’m finally doing a production with BlueREP! Oh the joy of working with the cast and crew…

The usual buzz and hype brought about by the start of school is nowhere to be found, and has been replaced by the immediate scheduling of all my other work. Amazing how I seemed to express that so loosely. It seems as if I have to juggle rehearsals, Aegis work, COA meetings and the occasional PolSci concerns everyday recently. Even before rehearsals started, I was already occupied with Congress work and really late COA meetings afterwards.

That generally sums up most of my summer. And if not for the first 3 weeks of Singapore, Formsem and...

I just came from BlueREP pictorials. Yes. After two years of theatre hiatus, I finally auditioned for a BlueREP production. I’ve thought about it a lot before trying out, and even went out of my way to ask my parents for permission. I did that because if ever I do get in, I will have to devote school nights of June for rehearsals. It can be pretty tough for someone who lives in Makati like I do. Fortunately after my amazing persuading skills, they both finally agreed to it. It is my last year after all. Before I lock myself...

I guess the new layout has to wait. I’ve been indulging lately that I barely had any time to sit in front of the computer for a day straight. I’ll try to whip something up when I get back, with hopefully lots of stories and adventures to tell. (I’m really not in a blogging mood, so pictures will have to do…)

Last Friday, I officially ended my BlueREP CORE duties and celebrated a successful year for BlueREP and the incoming core as well. I tried not to be sad and all because I’m pretty sure I’m still going to...

Getting my highest QPI ever and maintaining my Dean’s List status is the cream cheese icing on my already tasty carrot cake. (This is me craving for Sonja’s Bunny Huggers Cupcake.) There were no expectations even. I was just glad that it was over and I have finally let go of all that was hindering me from moving happily forward. I guess this is an even greater personal victory for me that I could ever hoped for at the moment. Especially after the most emotionally trying semester. I’m really happy and proud of myself.

Some of my close friends...

I was fortunate enough to have the chance to usher for Atlantis’ Avenue Q last Friday with some of my BlueREP friends.

I really can’t express how much I loved the show because there are simply no words. I enjoyed it that much. It’s definitely one of the smartest, funniest, most fun musicals I’ve ever listened to, and to see it finally live was spectacular. The cast was just perfect. Felix, Rachel, Aiza, Frenchie, Joel did such a wonderful job to the characters.

After days of some serious downpour, the weather has finally calmed. And I know it’s pretty selfish to say that I wish it was still raining, especially with all the serious damage it can do, but I can’t help but long for more days of rest. Today, I woke up a little less enthusiastic to be greeted by a much brighter sky. Luckily, I was able to sleep for a little bit more than eight hours. That felt good.

Once again, the week came by way too swiftly. And because I have so many things to prepare and accomplish, I hardly...

I’m not sure exactly how this entry is going to be like. But I’ll try to keep all the angst minimal. This is one of those moments when I wish to divulge everything, but can’t. I will try, and hopefully won’t end up regretting this. More importantly, I’m going to try and muster enough strength to update just because I don’t know if I have that in me at this moment. Be gentle with me.

I wish I could say that the past few weeks since school started has left me euphoric and excited. Unfortunately, it has turned out to be...

Tagged by my Polsci guru, April. Name five simple pleasures.

• A good dessert. Sweets do wonders for my mood. I can’t last a day without chowing down on something that will satisfy my sweet tooth. And I’m not just talking about the expensive ones or those that are restricted to chocolate or dairy. I’m also a big fan of fruits. In fact, I actually prefer a good fruit tart, pie or pastry over a chocolate cake sometimes. My favorite chocolate? Anything with hazelnut and lots and lots of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. A little slice of heaven right then...

What a loooong day. I just finished two crazy finals, so thank God for that. I just want to rest! Actually, the past few days have been extremely looong. After pulling another all-nighter with my POS53 groupmates last Friday, the next few days have been devoted to studying for my finals. However, before the stress that is this week, I still had the chance to hang out with the crazy BlueRep gang for Yen‘s debut held at Coconut Palace. (Yen played Sharpay in the recently held High School Musical.) The best part was the theme: Storybook. My friend,...

Alas, I failed to finish my Blogathon duties. I was initially excited about it, but I just couldn’t continue blogging everyday. I blame it on the fact that there were just days that I was computer and internet deprived. So that is a good excuse, right? High School Musical took most of my time during the past week too. The experience was great, and I never knew I could have so much fun just being an FOH. It was one responsibility that I’m glad I took which turned out to be one helluva learning experience. No regrets.
