The Heart of a Curricularalist Speaks

Look at me in this picture. I look so haggard, very tired…very dirty! This is a picture of me and Ate Suzette doing body shapes with two bodies involved.

At first, i didnt liked the idea ofhaving an acting workshop. i know, im a thespian but acting is really not my forte in theater. i would rather direct a play or do stage management.

but for the love of Teatro, I did it. No Filipino thespians would not want to experience a workshop under Jay Cruz and Soxie Topacio. Every Filipino thespian knows how good these two people are.

I admit, I really didnt invest any emotional attachment with my workshopmates because at the back of my head, i believe we’ll also forget everyone in the workshop. I said, "No deep friendships, jsut plain workshop mate realtionship. I was almost succesful until the final showcase ended.

This is a picture of my workshopmates before our finalshowcase started.

We were partying in Blue Grill Restaurant along Katipunan Road. We drank all night, celebrating the  end of the heavy intensed acting exercises and the boring rehearsals of Flores Para Los Muertos (Im sorry Sir Jay but its true). Knowing how alcohol influence the process of the mind, I saw how great my classmates were. I realized they are good people with good hearts. T

Finally, after 4 weeks of hard work and heavy acting, this is a pic after we received our certificates right after the showcase.

Then, I began to realize that they already occupied a special place in my heart, a place wherein its only them residing on it. we left Blue Grill and flew all the way to Timog to do the same thing, drink the night away. I love them, i dont know why! they are already special. And I’m hoping that Ill be seeing more of them.

there are so much events these past few days (or even months) that seem to be unforgettable for me. and im beginning to learn new lessons in life.

1. for the first time, naholdap in philcoa area. i was nervous but at the same time, very excited (ironic???). it was really a first time so i savor that moment. ang nakuha lang sakin ay 80pesos, pathetic!

2.  in just two months, i already lost 2 cellfones because of a reason that i can’t say here. nakakainis talaga and i really hate it.

3. when i was having my workshop in PETA, i didnt invest any emotional attachment with my classmates. but when the last day arrived and i finally bonded with them (i actually sneaked out to their hearts) i realized they are people with good souls. now, i already consider them as friends. i really find them nice.

4. i’m being kinda observant these past few days…and im loving it. it really help me as a thespian

5. i lost in the Teatro Tomasino elections when I ran for office. i admit i was and still a little bit bitter about it but im really trying to be in good terms with the new set of officers. but i still wish i won because i know i can serve the organization well. Hmp! bahala na nga…

6. im beginning to love reading…it feels so good to read a very good book.

7. i won the Best in Stage Management award for the past year’s GNP…but i still admit there are a lot of things to learn.

8. i’m still the SM of the 101st production of Teatro…and i’ll really gonna make it good. PROMISE!

9. i still love the man who strummed the guitar for me…how will i make him  mine? i have an idea…SLEEP!

10. im realizing how much i love my mom and how i abhor my dad

These are the few moments in my life that brings me good (and bad) mem’ries. im loving them.

wala lang gusto ko lang magshare at mag-babble! enjoy
