On doing everything I want to do!

Wow this blog seems so ancient I hope no one has forgotten me yet. Well, if you keep on reading, you'd know why I haven't updated this in eons, and I'm probably not going to have as much time in the coming weeks!

What I've been up to so far since my last post (exactly 2 months ago):

MAY 2012

I had a great summer. 

Spent it with the best friends on earth.

Bestest friends on earth.

Met one of the greatest rappers of all time, GLOC 9, 

with the most amazing Crispy Sizzling Bulalo from Smokes, Boracay (d'mall)

Overall, it was a chill vacay.

Although our very own (kung maka-angkin o!) BB Chez did not win, I was still happy with the results. I knew PP would win, right from his auditions.

This was the best performance of the night. HAHA.

Brother came for the whole summer for dance classes. 

Was such a proud sister!

We got him into DAS (Dance Avenue Studio - Katipunan)

They performed their recital at the Henry Lee Irwin Theater in Ateneo. 

I was so devastated when he left; I got used to the whole set-up of me going home to my brother watching tv or preparing dinner for the two of us, or me picking him up from his rehearsals and then going straight to my rehearsals in Ateneo. When he left, it was just me again. So sad! haha But I got over it, moving on is so easy for me. HAHAHAHAHAHA K.

JUNE 2012

We've begun rehearsing for a Ateneo-ENTABLADO's season opener "Mutya" featuring the plays "Santong Tao" and "Ang Sistema ni Propesor Tuko". 

The two plays are ENTA's "greatest hits" so you cannot miss it!

I am part of the play "Ang Sistema ni Propesor Tuko" as Ningning! 

Catch my on my show dates:

JULY 6(fri), 10(tues), 12(thurs), 20(fri), 2012

We spent most of the first week of June preparing materials for school. 

Laminate all day. LAMINATE EVERYTHING!!!

Needed to post this. It was just so hilarious.
Psych majors (or even not?) will get this. haha

I took a break from my MA in DevPsy, to take some units in Education for the LET exam for teachers. So I am now taking 9 units of Education subjects, and hopefully I will be taking the LET summer of next year. I'm just iffy (IFFY?! haha) about the 9 units (last sem I only took 6 units and it was hell!). But two of the subjects are only worth 5 weeks (every Saturday from 8am to 4pm, IKNOWRIGHT). So by August, I will be done with 60% of my semester. #busygirl

I got a haircut. but not much.

My brother came to visit me! 

He had a quick meeting with the boy scouts of the Philippines as he is part of the 

National Board chorva. For a moment I was happy he was around, 

but when he left, I was all alone again. :((

JULY 2012

A few weeks before, we got news that PETA (Philippine Educational Theater Association) received so many nominations from 2011 Philstage Gawad Buhay for the play "WILLIAM" (where I played Ms. Martinez) and the hit musical "CAREDIVAS". I attended the awarding last weekend, and it was sooo overwhelming!!! Congratulations to PETA!! (Here's the complete list of winners)

A short excerpt of William performed at the Philstage Gawad Buhay Awards :)

Congratulations also to CAREDIVAS who won a handful of awards that night! :)

This may look like i'm hoarding the awards, BUT I WAS JUST SO EXCITED!! 

Congratulations to PETA and everyone on WILLIAM! It was an honor working with you guys!! :)

NEXT STOP: BATANG RIZAL
When I received the news that I will be joining the cast for this season's run of Batang Rizal, I was so ecstatic! The play was written by Christine Bellen (our moderator for Entablado's writers' bloc, Imahenasyon). I was able to watch the Ateneo gradeschool ACT's version of it, and I loved it! How much more when I get to do it with PETA! :)

Shows run for the first 2 weeks in August at the PETA Theater Center, and tours for the rest. :)

So excited to be part of this!!!! :)

I just had so much time on my hands today, and so much internet speed thanks to the Ateneo Rizal library (for which, I pay P4,000 a semester -- just getting my money's worth) so I was able to make a lengthy post/update. But for the coming months, I'll be so busy doing the things that I love to do!! I feel so lucky to be able to do everything, and everything just seems to happen in perfect timing and harmony with one another! There may have been times when my activities overlap each other, and require at least 3 of me to be able to do it, but I have discovered that I am a MEAN TIME MANAGEMENT QUEEN. I'm so thankful that even though it may seem as if I didn't have enough time, I still do actually. :)

More than anything, I am so thankful that I have a very supportive family. Never have I heard any of them tell me that I'm doing too much, that I must prioritize (well this is true, but still, everything is my priority haha), that I must only focus on doing one thing at a time. I have lived my life that I way I've always wanted it to be, and no one is stopping me. My parents have just been supportive, and I hope I make them proud. I hope you know that you raised me well, and both of you mom and dad, are good parents. :) The best any girl like my could ever have. :)

With that, I bid you, Adieu
