May your grace transcend your mortalityAnd may you dance among the starsThough death challenged your frailtyYou shall forever be in our heartsIn life you served as a reminderThat life in itself is a celebrationIn death may you never waiverMay you remind us of your passionFor April Mae "Pring" Sumaylo, who died yesterday, in a car accident.

The highest score I gave out of 1-10 (10 as the highest) today was a 5. And I was being generous.Are theatre people really all just plain gay?Sadness.We're extending the auditions until Friday. Only 4 auditioned today.Pregenesis is going to be medium scaled for now. We're just going to invite schools instead of the whole Cebu. Oh well. A big-scale production is as of the moment, too ambitious.We

It's been a while since I last posted. Again.The moving on process is going quite well. I've been very busy with studies, since my subjects have suddenly become interesting... We have a gig for the ASEAN summit at the 14th. we'll probably be playing another composition that we have YET to polish...The bassist, Bang, joined a beauty contest. I dunno if she won yet, but I do know that she won Ms.

This morning, I woke up from a bad dream of Luke throwing his drink at me and going "You're nothing, but a second rate, trying hard, PUSSYCAT!!!"It was D-Day.I was jittery. I was wondering if Josh had told him yet. My roommate sent her best from over the bathroom. Sarah was with me the whole morning at the undergrad ladies room (the one with a big table to sit on). I couldn't wait any longer for

i was chatting with Mark last night... it turned weird when he started asking about me and Luke. I was confused for the most part by his questions. Where was he going to? What was he talking about? How could I stick to Luke? I wasn't sticking to Luke by choice. We aren't together. What's with the questions? He said he was curious about this side of Luke that i seemed privy to. Wha?I found out

Heno and I gave Sam a belated birthday gift- a Blue Magic pig we named "Shera". We wrote a little note in the card using a magic pen. The magic pen had a little light on it that revealed the message.

I went to the bathroom and found the culprit of my weak immune system and my shortened patience level- it's the first day of my monthly visit.Had to hoist my bleeding ass to practice and I arrived to find very few people at the practice venue. I had forgotten that the lead

i had a nightmare last night; my class was in the darkroom (which had magically expanded for some inexplicable reason), rehearsing for our play. Everytime the door would open, we'd stop acting out our roles, as if we were film, being exposed. Everybody froze whenever the door would open. After it would close, we'd go back to the very beginning. We never got to the end of the play.~~~Today is

Today was bitch day. I was a big bad bitch. I told someone off for being hard headed... I was tempted to tell her more but I lost my temper. I snubbed Josh for the rest of the day. Didn't know he sent an apology. Oh well. It's not my fault that I was too busy the whole day to read any emails. Practiced the whole morning. Play's turning out fine. Invited Nichole to the "grand rehearsal". Nothing

Josh is dead.in my mind.I no longer have any "adopted brothers".Specially anyone who's named Josh Junasa.~~~major changes on the play... roles switched, lines switched, and debates ensued.~~~I knew this was going to be a bad day. It started with tabada asking me about my other two articles and telling me about my shaky class standing.It worsened when I kept on printing exposed or bad shots; and

you must read The Woman With Two Navels by Nick Joaquin...it reminds me of Rizal's El Filibusterismo with a touch of Anne Rice in it. It might have been a very disturbing book during the time it was published. Illusion and reality are his instruments, and Joaquin makes very good music out of it. You relate to all his characters though you'd rather not admit it. The dirtiness and the filthiness

I am laughing. Letting the wind take my laughter. Magnify it if the wind must, make use of it in whatever way, for my laughter is a scarce commodity. It is scarce when I am at ease. Easy to grasp when I am at a loss of anything logical to hold onto. My laughter abounds. It overflows out of my lips, out of my eyes, out of my nose. It is like a waterfall flowing out into a river, out into

False alarm. He doesn't know we were old and wrinkly.Intrams ended. Not that I missed it. It was pretty boring to me, cept for the first day. Intrams is like a person who invites you to a party just because you're classmates. You aren't interested and the host can't find a way to entertain you cause you don't share the same interests. I hate those sort of parties. Back to grueling school work.
