A stageplay every night

If I am filthy rich, I'll fly to New York right this minute and watch Kristin Chenoweth chummy up to Sean Hayes in Promises, Promises.

To my one and only guild:

Happy 4th birthday

Fight or forever hold your peace

Love,

Glee Open Casting Call

Nikki Gil has auditioned to Glee's Open Casting Call. Here's the video she submitted. Or you can view her audition piece and a little intro about her at this site. When you're there, just search for "Nikki" and she's, now, the 3rd result.

Cats, Now and Forever

After work, I headed to Ticketnet at Glorietta 5 and bought tickets to Cats, Now and Forever. I need this, so I could have something to look forward to in my bleak future. Transient maybe, but at least... *haaaaay* I hope Lea Salonga plays Grizabella on the playdate I chose, or else the other ticket owner will not let me forget :-S

Cats will run at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo, Cultural Center of the Philippines beginning July 24, 2010 to August 8, 2010. For schedule and ticket price, click here.

TOO MUCH ATTACHMENT IS THE REASON WHY SOME PEOPLE CANNOT MOVE ON.. :(.

I say: Kaya I am remedying this. No more!

Time-out

I was searching for "trails" and ended up finding out about the "happy trail".

Is she for real?

My life's tragedy took a back seat when I read an article about this girl and the drastic makeover she's gone through. See the picture of her before and after.

See more of her from Veet's Catch and Shoot Barbara challenge.
Again, is she for real?

All you can do is play along at life, and hope that sometimes you get it right.

Random office pictures. I'll miss them.

Jeff In Manila 4

When Jeff was here, he treated the circle to a dinner at an Indian/Persian/Arabian restaurant. A super duper fun night. Come to think of it, I was present sa mga libre ni Jeff. Hahaha. Thank you for the chocs! >:D<
On a short notice (he called me the night before to tell me he wants to see us before flying back), we were able to gather these people: Jeff, me, Din, Joy, Leslie, Gian, Kate, Grazielle

From their camera:

Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you baby
They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
Cos they got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you baby

Not not not nothing on you babe
Not not nothing on you
I know you feel where i'm coming from
Regardless of the things in my past that i've done
Most of really was for the hell of the fun
On the carousel so around I spun (spun)
With no directions just tryna get some (some)
Tryna chase skirts, living in the summer sun (sun)
This is how I lost more than I had ever won
And honestly I ended up with none

There's no much nonsense
It's on my conscience
I'm thinking baby I should get it out
And I don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wondering if there was something that you wanna know
(that you wanna know)
But never mind that we should let it go (we should let it go)
Cos we don't wanna be a t.v episode (t.v episode)
And all the bad thoughts just let them go (go, go, go)

Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you baby
They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
Cos they got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you baby

Not not not nothing on you babe
Not not nothing on you
Hands down there will never be another one
I been around and I never seen another one
Look at your style they ain't really got nothing on
And you out and you ain't got nothing on
Baby you the whole package plus you pay your taxes
And you keep it real while them other stay plastic
You're my wonder women call me mr. fantastic
Stop.. now think about it

I've been toLondon, I've been to Paris
Even went out there to Tokyo
Back home down in Georgia to new Orleans
But you always still to show (still to show)
And just like that girl you got me fro (got me fro)
Like a Nintendo 64 (64)
If you never knew well now you know (know, know, know)

Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you baby
They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
Cos they got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you baby

Not not not nothing on you babe
Not not nothing on you
Everywhere I go I'm always hearing your name (name, name)
And no matter where I'm at girl you make me wanna sing (sing)
Weather a bus or a plane or a car or a train
No other girls in my brain and you the one to blame

Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted

Nothing on you baby

Not not not nothing on you babe
Not not nothing on you
Yeah and that's just how we do it
And I'ma let this ride

Deadline to self

A day's work

Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can’t have everything

Don’t you take chances
You might feel the pain
Don’t you love in vain
’cause love won’t set you free

I can’t stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be

So what if it hurts me?
So what it I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge,
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I just trying to be happy
I just wanna be happy, yeah

Holding on tightly
Just can’t let go
Just trying to play my role
Slowly disappear

But all these days
They feel like they’re they’re same
Just different faces
Different place
Get me out of here

I can’t stand by the side
Ooh, no
And watch this life pass me by
Pass me by

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I’m just trying to be happy

Oh, happy
Oh

So when it turns that I can see???
This rope??
Victim??
Don’t say anything

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I just wanna be happy
Happy
I just wanna be
Oh
I just wanna be
Happy.

OLC Reunion with Damian

I love them.

From Neal's camera

You'll either wake up to a normal day or

You

open your eyes reluctantly, feeling the oddly strong pull of the cushy material beneath. But against your winning arguments to remain, you pull yourself up, crawl towards the edge while forcibly removing the bony legs blocking the way, fail miserably to stand up steadily then clumsily insert the feet in a combination of blue and pink flip-flops.

But

instead of going through the usual body rituals: lavish on a myriad of hair products (you're this vain to this one body part), dress up and select matching earrings and, if time is on your side, a bag

But

instead of going out, ride on a trike and the long bus trip after, where you half-listen to a favorite radio show and half-drown in thoughts

But

instead of opening the heavy doors of the confined space you'll stay in for the next 8 hours (if lucky), walk the short walk towards your territory, and revive the box to which your eyes will be glued and your fingers will be married to, your bottoms supporting you all throughout, for the next 8 hours (again, if lucky)

Oh

you did all this, silly. Except for which came after; arriving in the simplest gimmick ever concocted, quietly, unexpectedly, just when you thought that one muscle can no longer tear, be stretched, and wrung. It exited with a person shorter.

Oh

you'll wake up to all this, again, tomorrow. But that thing that's prodding you to go through every act each day is no longer whole. You call it a thing, everybody else labeled it inspiration, it will be lesser. You will be steady for the spoils yet inside you will hurt, will live with the disappointment and with the imperfection.

You

will either wake up to a normal day or to that one dream you have, severed.

I secretly wish that someday you see that dream to its ending, unmarred.

For all the hiding and substitution i do, "heart" is the one thing i cannot find replacement to.

Jeff in Manila

Jeff's back for 2 weeks and so he treated the family to a dinner at Gilligan's. The babies, Asha and Luke, were there. I miss those two (hay). Another thing, I discovered I like super dry beer.

Hey Hey Hey

Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister, hey there mister, mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey Hey Hey

Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey soul sister, hey there mister, mister
On the radio, stereo
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Well you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I cant be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey soul sister, hey there mister, mister
On the radio, stereo
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey Hey Hey (tonight)
Hey Hey Hey (tonight)

You own this space in my world

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINA BEBE!!!

In a fraction of a second

THIS JUST CAME IN:

A half hour ago I twitted about depression, sadness and the happy drug. Now they're after me.



And this is plopped on top of mine. Life's playing tricks on me. I love it!

"World happiness ratings"

I found this while on a Prozac hunt. The way I am feeling right now, shouldn't the Philippines at least get a yellow dot there, somewhere in Region IV.

Find the funny in the harmless

Find the funny in the harmless.
I really like how the words composing the above statement go well together.
It draws a mental picture of something lying around or sitting atop, unassuming, non-reacting, alone, deadpan, doe-eyed, until you tripped on it. In a hair's breadth, a lone guffaw is envisaged. You destroyed the lull it was in.

For my first post under this theme:

Facebook fan pages is getting crazier (and dirtier)

A sad thought

I thought being in love masks all things unpleasant in one's sphere.
Now I am forced to rethink this.
Maybe some are destined to unhappiness, heedless of any predicament they're in.
Life is sour, loved or unloved.

Post shout-out (a.k.a. senseless late reaction): Nag-iinarte. Ito ang isa sa mga benepisyo ng pagkakaron ng tala-arawan, may espasyo ka sa mundo para isiwalat ang lahat ng nasa puso't isip mo. Hassle-free to you and to thy neighbors.

One indication you've been single long enough is...

after seeing two people you know changed their relationship status to 'In a relationship' with each other, even liking it,

but one comments with the time-tested line between lovers and ending it with their term of endearment

then you...

you hear yourself making gagging sounds.

Post shout-out (a.k.a. senseless rate reaction): What happened to you? You've adopted one once, for the person you were with then. Remember?

I thought I was going to lose him, Grace. It's funny, you know? You go through life pretty much alone, and then one day, you meet someone and you hit it off. You have some laughs, some tenderness. And then after a dozen cosmos and a private dick's review of his liquid assets, wham, you're married. Then as quickly as it came, it's taken away.
