they made my day.Ü

my bday cake...with LUV

you never realize how important you are until your birthday comes. haha.



just a theory.


i was just so happy yesterday. and the day before that.





i was super kabado last tuesday. kasi nung gabing yon, ipapalabas na yung play namin. we were so NOT ready. to me at least.

everything was still a mess. imagine, nung morning, may math aptitude test pa kami?? hello? we had a play to set up that evening. but anyway, i had fun shading all those circles, literally. mas nagconcentrate pa ako na ma-shade fully yung small circle imbis na pag-isipan yung problem. haha. crazy me.

right after the test, we decided to have an early lunch break para maaga din kami makabalik at maiwasan yung lunch traffic. so we ate at kfc with mam david. saya nga eh, she even ordered doughnuts for us. haha. swerte namin! malas nung di sumama.

that afternoon, grabe pagcramming namin. as in, lahat kasi ng butas nakita. walang costume si ano, sira yung ano, sino magmemake-up, ayaw gumana ng ano...WAAH! sobrang worried lahat. lalo na si John, eh siya pa yung lead role. suuuuuuuper tense siya.

everything was going well, make-up and costumes ready. sakto nga naman sa timing, sinabi sa akin ni jona na two at of the four lapels are not working properly. swerte nga naman. so si john at kriezl lang yung may clip-on. the rest, umasa nalang sa boom mic.

as a proof na we were so not prepared, yun yung first time namin na gawin yung play without stops together with lights and sounds. ayos right? mejo pumalpak lang yung timing nung sa sounds pero ayos pa din.

It was longer than expected. we started mga 7:00 pm and it ended mga 9:00 pm. imagine, two hours kaming stressed and worried. at the same time naman, two hours din kaming pinakilig ni John at Kriezl. they were really really great! as in tama sila. i just needed to trust the whole cast that they would be doing their thing. eveything else will be just fine.

in the end, we got the best actor, best actress, best director and best play awards which was really not expected. ewan ko ba, ang baba ng tingin ko sa sarili ko for the past few weeks. siguro, i just didn't want to keep my hopes high. but i regret that feeling. now, i'm super happy kasi all our work at sweat has been acknowledged! as in super birthday gift na yun sa akin.

i think the play was not JUST a play. it became a moment for us to bond. a chance for the section to unite and press on towards a common goal. it has been a fun experience. although many made mistakes, everyone learned from the experience. it was an opportunity for everyone to let their cretative juices flow. it was a chance to form new friendships and be strong as challanges face us.Ü some cried after the show kasi they realized that maybe, this was the last thing we were gonna do as a section--even as a batch. and i think it was worth all the hardwork and time.



one thing more, bigla nila akong kinantahan ng happy birthday. imagine my happiness that night.Ü i felt important, loved.



so yesterday was my birthday. it was quite a day. first, i learned na i retained my ranking (pero wala pang extra curricular, english and CAT), i got my WACKY class pix, take note WACKY. we also went to Tagaytay for dinner. we went to this resto called Buon Giorno. sobrang sarap ng food as in heaven. sobrang lamig din. tita al and ninang lu went with us.



it was a happy day. wala lang.

i really wanted to tell more but got more stuff to do.

THANK YOU SA LAHAT NG BUMATI SA AKIN.
YOU REALLY MADE MY DAY!
