Praise God for a very energetic showcase!!! MT-G rocked AFP!!! yeah!!! Pati mga sundalo sumuko! Hahaha!! We did a FANTASTIC show! Grabe! Hanggang ngayon na-ooverwhelm pa rin ako sa mga nangyari last Monday. Super fun yung show and the people who watched liked it so much. To those who watched, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Your the greatest audience ever! And of course, who would forget our very creative, and intelligent director Tito Jaime del Mundo? You rock Tito Jaime!!! Thanks for all the things that you've taught us. We would treasure every word that you've said and we promise to hone our talents 'til our next showcase. Now we know what wa wa means. Haha!! We do hope to see you again next summer and do Miss Saigon, The Sequel! Hehe!!

Well, the sad part is Trumpets Playshop is over.

Haaaayyy... We haven't got the chance to have dinner after the show because everyone needs to be with their families. Aaaaawwww.... Actually we have a cast party dapat yesterday pero 'di natuloy dahil maraming 'di pwede. So yun... Actually some of us are planning to have the overnight cast party this coming Friday pero mahirap maghanap ng bahay kung san pwedeng mag-overnight. And a lot of us are busy with some other things. We find it hard to plan kasi hindi magkasundo ang mga schedule namin. In the end, we've decided not to go with the overnight party at Maverick's house in White Plains.

Sobrang bitin pa naman ang summer ngayon.. But some of us are planning to meet this coming Saturday for a bonding activity. Lunch na lang and movie kung hindi talaga pwede ang overnight. Haaaaayyy... We're planning din to got to EK then stay in a cheap hotel sa sembreak. Pero I doubt na makapunta lahat. Baka wala na rin sa momentum ang iba. Haaaayyyy...

As much as I want to enjoy the rest of the summer break, I can't dahil 'di na tuloy yung overnight cast party. Sobrang nakaka-frustrate. Haaaayyy... That's it for now! God bless you all!!!!

Just came from the TDR. But we're not able to finish running the show. At least we became comfortable with the stage during the run. So yun... I just realized that Playshop 2007 is going to end. Aaaawwww... I'll miss the tawanan and sayawan, and kulitan.
So guys, please watch our show tomorrow, 7pm at the AFP theatre. See you there!!! God Bless!!!

Summer Is Over... And So Is Playshop 2007 (Part 1)

At last, summer classes are over. YAhooo.!!!! Praise God for a challenging yet awesome summer. And the rainy days are in. So sad I wasn't able to go to the beach this summer. I missed two family outings this summer just because of exams and Trumpets rehearsals. Thank God the Freshmen Orientation Program Committee is over na rin. Hay salamat!!! That activity really drained my energy and patience to the last drop.

We did two rehearsal runs of our show last Thursday. Tr. Jaime's friend, Ms. Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo (one of the endorsers of OLAY) was also there to watch our runs. Indeed, we had a fantastic 2nd run. Praise God! Tr. Jaime told us afterward that we can never go back, we can only get better on our next runs. We had our last 2 runs before TDR this morning at the Podium. We were there 2 hours before the mall actually opens to run the show twice. I was so tired after the rehearsals kanina. Tomorrow is our TDR at the AFP and Tr. Jaime told us that everything, especially the blocking, is going to change since we'll deal with a bigger stage.

So there... Hope you can watch our show on Monday!!! God Bless!!!

Waaaahhhh... Don't know how to use Microsoft Office 2007!!! Ayun.. I need to save files pa naman from the FOPC yahoogroups. Haaaayyyy.... I'm so tired.. Sobrang inaantok ako kanina sa Envi Sci 1 class ko. Good it was a film showing lang. But I need to make a reaction about the film that we've watched. Kakatamad talaga. We have Machine Exercise kanina in our Computer Programming class. I woke up early this morning praying for it because the concepts are too difficult. And ang hirap nga ng machine exercise kanina. We're required to make a computer program that simulates an Electronic Ten-Pin Bowling Score Board. Yikes!!! I really don't know what am I gonna do with it. I keep on asking my seat mates on how to do it. Pero 'di ko pa rin magawa. So I just talked to God and said that I can't do it. It's like I'm anticipating the fact that I'm gonna fail that machine exercise. So I lifted it up to Him. Tapos biglang nag-brown-out! Yeah!! But no time for celebration yet. I'm not sure what will my prof do with our unfinished programs. A lot of us kasi failed to save our programs. So I don't know what God is planning to do. Pero I would love it if our prof will give us a new exercise tomorrow, preferably an easier one.

So much for ES 26. We rehearsed POP! FLASH! kanina sa Playshop. It was sooooooo tiring. That musical number is super demanding. We need to execute sharp movements kasi and at the same time, we need to sing properly. Tr. Jaime gave us some instructions while doing the choreo. Dun sa part namin ni Patrick, he told us to do our choreo 5 times straight. And dapat big and sharp yung movements. Because of that, sumakit mga binti ko... as in... Waaaahhhh.... Daig pa ang nag-jog ng 5 times sa Acad Oval on a nice Saturday morning. Ang hirap tuloy umakyat at bumaba sa MRT kanina. Haaaayyy... Ayun... But I enjoyed the rehearsals nonetheless. Weh... God Bless you all!!!
