My Answer To 'What's Up?' #1..2..3..4

1. 

Something has been, I hate to use this word because it sounds wild and feral than what I really want to express but, yes something has been unleashed from within me only this summer. I'm constantly craving for any form of adventure be it exploring Manila to checking out dilapidated malls. Anyhoo, my sister and I have been frequenting the nearby ukay spots in Southland since last summer and my love for thrifting has been rekindled since I have nothing better to do at home hehe and so I can be found earlier frolicking along the expanse of the Alabang Zapote Road donning a backpack waiting to be filled with my latest haul and a thirst for ransacking racks of (a. glorious b. magnificent c. rad d. mysterious) clothes.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away~ hehe jas kedeng. I had the honor of finally setting foot in not 1, not 2 but three Indian groceries all in one afternoon! Located near the Khalsa Diwan Temple in UN is the strip featuring the Indian stores that I shall now be dubbing as India Land. I have been on a quest to look for a place here in the Philippines that retails bindis after googling for online stores and finding that only people from the US and far off places are selling bindis on ebay. So yes, I got to the stores, they asked me what I was looking for and after pointing to my forehead and managing to only get out 'bind-' I was whisked off to one side wherein a box FULL of bindis lay ahead, waiting to be raped by my very eager and shaking (with utmost excitement) hands.

I just wanted to include this since my hands smell like Xonrox (bleach; I don't know if only Xonrox has this distinct smell or if all brands of bleach have the same smell hehe) right now and it's bugging me a bit. I finally put my favorite pair of shorts to rest and submerged it in a bucket of water and bleach so I can have white shorts HEHE. I did this earlier right after lunch since I reallyyyyy was bored and yearned to be productive. I checked on this after dinner and since the sink wherein the bucket was located was outside my room (by the window) it was quite a struggle cos I had to go out of the house and walk in the semi-dark. It was okay tho but the thing that was not okay was while checking on the bucket, something moved nearby like on the counter...it started making tiny noises and it looked like a cross between a naked turtle and a sisiw from a balut.

I screamed for my sister and she got the camera and took pictures from her place inside her room. After zooming zooming zooming, we solidified our guesses and agreed that it was indeed a kind of bird! I hastily patted my hands on my shorts and got the camera so I could take a ton of close up photos hehe it was also a way for me to get a clearer view since it was so dark I could only make out its shape. My sister called my mum and showed her the pictures and my mum called ate Joy and theeeeeeen ate Joy explained that there is a nest up on our roof and that the Momma Bird is a bit clumsy and she keeps on dropping her poor defenseless bebes.

Ate Joy as seen below had the balls to touch the baby bird hehe and place it on a rug for the Momma to come pick her up. If the Momma doesn't come back for her..hehe we'll have ourselves a new pet hehehe. I swear if she becomes my pet bird, I'll call her Birdy so I can tweet 'hehe hanging out with Birdy' or Mascara Arms because her arms look like dem Mascara brushes.

SHE LOOKS LIKE SUCH A BIRD HAHA

Dramatic

CATS

Last Friday, we had our activity in Art wherein we had to perform our rendition of Cats the musical. We were only given 15 minutes for our presentation and boy was it hard trying to squeeze in the good scenes of a 2 hour long play in a quarter of an hour. Since we were bombarded with an outrageous amount of deadlines and requirements, the fact that we weren't allowed to practice on weekends and outside school made it quite a challenge.

My favorite part would have to be looking for the costumes. At first, it really made my head hurt just thinking of the expenses if we were to buy  leotards and fake fur and paint for the main cast but alas my thrifty side reared its head and whispered one word that answered all of our problems.....'ukay'. We spent time looking for perfect fur coats and vests that would really suit each and one of the 15 cats hihi.

The day of our performance came and before everything else, we had to face out final exams in Trigonometry, Technical Writing, Physics and Advanced Bio. It was a pain in the heiny but at least it's our last for this school year hehe.

Jazz and Selvin so cute huhu

After the tests, Matthew and I attended a meeting and since time flew by so quickly, we had to hurry and catch Calvin's last rehearsal in the venue. Once we got there, the last scene was playing out and after that, we went and changed into our costumes and prepped for the performance.

Old Deutoronomy Russ

Jemima and Grizabella hehehehehe keepin it reaaaaal

Rum Tum Tugger Gerald doing push ups so he could be macho for his role hahahaah

Victoria Nona 

Mr. Mistoffelees Callado

Our costumes not only had us feeling like Korean superstars and socialites but they also had us sweating like pigs in a slaughter house!!!!!!! We were sweating so much it felt like we were drowning..or taking a shower wooo.

Darwin's Grizabella, Chloe weee!

At exactly 1pm, we were ushered inside and we had time to enjoy the aircon woo.

Grumpy Mr. Grumpypants

Best director ever Twinkle twinkle little star weeeeee

First one up was Ptolemy. They boggled all of us with the number of actors and actresses they had since the Little theatre was not named that way for its huge space hehe but nonetheless it was pretty evident that they work well together and are very cooperative since it IS difficult to work with such a huge number hehe.

We were second and we had so much fun huhu. It was so funny too since while we were onstage and stuff, I couldn't help but pretend to be crying while (hopefully) discreetly wiping my perspiration. My favorite part would have to be Jazz's solo because she's never failed to make me feel kilig whenever she'd sing Memory and she was so worried the night before because her voice was getting wonky and she did so well just made it such a nice moment hihi.

Maqui and his tight costume hehhehe

And last to perform was Darwin. I really liked their background. It was so simple yet it served its purpose well. Their Rum Tum Tugger was very hilarious and very adorable, Munkastrap was mataray, Old Deuteronomy was funny hehe and their Macavity was so good it gave me the creeps. Chloe did a really swell job too and must I say she has GOT to be the sexiest Grizabella ever kainis HAHAHA. 

Jane and her bongga pose

We won first place!!! But really, we're all winners and I don't mean that in a cheesy way since none of us got disqualified and all hehe. All in all it was such a pleasant experience. It made me love performing even more hihi. I really do wish we get to have more events like this in the future since we really enjoyed it and everybody loves a good sing-along hihi.
