"Proximity to the arts is cleansing for the soul…"
Saw The Dogeaters last Saturday and I effing loved it. It wasn't a Shakespearean caliber, but the play was worth the price.
I was early for the show. Too early, actually. So I grabbed a drink at the nearest cafe. While I was sipping my coffee, a guy moved towards me and asked if I can provide him a light. I retorted, "I don't have a light, sorry." But at the back of my mind, I wanted to shout at him and say, "I don't have a light, but I can provide you that with the use of my flaming breath." I am an arsonist, so you know. I emit flame out of my nostrils.
After the guy-asking-for-a-light incident, I rushed back to the auditorium. I got in the lift, and saw an old chum. He will be watching the show as well, together with his friends. We had a little chit-chat outside the auditorium then bade farewell after.
So I went inside and was escorted by an usherette to my seat. I spotted a couple of celebrities and other figures as I proceeded down the aisle. The usherette delivered me to my seat and immediately turned away to assist other viewers. Few minutes after, I foresaw the arrival of a group of American yuppies donned in formal attire. I heard their crisp American accents from the auditorium entrance.
The ushers checked if everyone is already settled, then signaled a thumbs up. Lights off. Curtains up. Show time.
I don't want to discuss the whole play since there are a lot of stories going on, and I'll leave that task to you. See it for yourself, I mean. Tip: Pay attention to every second in the play. You won't get bored, I assure you that. Thank God Jon Santos and Andoy Ranay were around to zest up the show with their incredible gay stints. Their roles however are rather significant to the story. Gina Alajar was flawless, performing the role of a penitent. In a nutshell, everyone performed impeccably. The running time of the show was two hours and a half. Relatively long but nonetheless diverting.
Went home afterwards to study for Economics quiz. Bummer.
now, that’s a good student. still able to study after watching a long show.

I thought you already had plans of dropping Economics. What happened? I might be shifting to Creative Writing. But I am still not yet sure of my plans.

I like Haggedorn, don’t get me wrong. But the play was very much parodized. That’s what I think. Hehe. But as I said, I enjoyed it. Hehe.
I said that because my Eco grades that time were dropping sharply. Hehe. Pero I changed my mind. LOL. Creative Writing? WAH. Must not get envy. Must not get envy! Hahahahahahahahahaha! 
Bern:
Really? Well, I guess di lang nila gusto yung idea na masyado nagfocus sa gay stints nila Andoy Ranay and Jon Santos. And yung parody about Martial Law. But whatever. I still likes the play. Hehe.
*I still liked the play.
Haha. Sorry, typo!
Parodized. Lol. Yan ka na naman eh. Masyado kang pessimistic. Tinatamad ka na namang pumasok? Hehe. Yep, creative writing. Hehe. Pero di pa sure. Ayaw ni Mommy eh. Wala daw future. Hehehe.

I am currently in college, taking up Bachelor of Arts Major in Economics and Bachelor of Science in Commerce Major in Advertising Management. I hold two majors, ergo the academic bane I will be experiencing is doubled. But so far, I have not yet swooned, thank God.
I am a control freak. 'Nuff said.
My usual McDonald's meal is comprised of Quarter Pounder, large fries and Coke, extra gravy and vanilla milkshake.
It is in my nature to assume responsibility. I often contemplate about the complexity of life.
I tend to shrink from social contacts and become preoccupied with my own thoughts. I often isolate myself from the pool. Don't get me wrong though. I am not deprived of friends; in fact, I have a bunch of good chums. It is always quality over quantity for me. I don't go for braggy and ostentatious people; I loathe them.
I am not really adept in writing so pardon my tense inconsistencies of verbs, wrong usage of conjunctions and preposition, incorrect separation of paragraphs, faulty usage of colons and semi-colons, et cetera.
Respect begets respect. You're free to judge and read. But please observe proper netiquette - internet etiquette.
merry christmas!
