Viva La Vie Boheme! Saturday, 011307

And so I shall start my blog entry with those 4 words. Why? Well, I’ll explain it later.

We had to go to Cam’s house AGAIN to practice for our English play. And though I would love to give some information about it, I’d rather not spoil it. Just watch Miss Antrophy on January 26 to find out.

So, anyway, I woke up at 7 since we had to pick up Isabel at Pisay. But we didn’t have paint and we needed it for our backdrop so Dad ended up buying them and we picked up Isabel quite late. Sorry about that, but at least the reason’s valid. THE BACKDROP WAS FOR THE PLAY, YOU KNOW!

We then went straight to Cam’s house and when we arrived, they were watching Lake House. I really didn’t understand it that much, since I’m not really into those kinds of flicks and also owing to the fact that we were only able to watch the ending.

We decided to watch Rent after that. I LOVE RENT! Yeah, sure, it’s about drag queens and AIDS but really, it is SO, uh, real. I do NOT want to spoil it, of course, but let’s just say that it almost made me cry. Basta. Mark Cohen is my favorite character among the 8 because, well, it’s up to you to find out why.

In the middle of watching Rent, Joe texted that he was LOST in Filinvest 2. Stupid, Cam’s house isn’t there! Hehe. According to him, he ended up exploring Filinvest 2 before going to Cam’s. LOL, Alvin almost told him (thru text) that he has to go to Ada’s house, knock on every door, ask if Ada’s there and if not, ask for directions to Cam’s house. O_o

A few minutes later and Joe arrived. Not long after, Elvis arrived too and set up his laptop, making the boys stop watching Rent and leaving us girls (Alvin included) to finish it. Which I didn’t regret, considering how beautiful the movie was. I wanna watch the musical.

We had lunch a few minutes later (Pata Tim) and we also saw the dogs. LOL, Skittles (one of the dogs, the small one) kept on running around in circles, you’d think he/she (I don’t know the gender, sorry) would create a tornado. =)) Yeah, seriously. Then we went back to watching Rent (yes, it took THAT long) and after watching, I suddenly wanted a hug. Not from anyone in particular, of course, I just wanted a hug from any of my friends.

After that, we started practicing. Alvin, John-John and Ada did the backdrop while the rest of us practiced our lines and the cues for the BGMs. Oh, and we also uhm, fooled around with YM. Like, Alvin was using Joe’s YM account on Cam’s laptop, Joe was using Isabel’s YM and I was using Elvis’. ) We actually uhm, tortured Conrad’s sanity and sent him the same message at the same time, on Joe’s cue. )

Some of the scenes were EXTREMELY hilarious. Like this:

ada: it’s all your fault. you made her looney!
johnjohn: no, he’s the dumdum!
alvin: i’m not the dumdum!

And this:

johnjohn: it’s the screw kasi.

Plus this:

alvin: we are stuck with you all this time!

This:

Camilla: I shouldn’t trust anyone at this point. -meaningful glance at prof- Except you of course, Professor Blake. -hands the device over to the professor- Here, I need to lock the doors -takes pringles from elvis’ hand and leaves the stage-

THIS:

ada: you shouldn’t have touched the continuoum transfunctioner

AND THIS!

ada: mom, it’s done!
camilla: thank you daddy! as of now you’re all fired! go to your room, you are the weakest link!

Seriously, we were laughing our asses off. Some were due to Joe, uhm, talking to himself (and he ended up being stepped on by Ada, literally, and being kicked by me too). Some were just plain ewans… )

By this time, we had practiced all the scenes already and may I say, I think our play’s quite good. Hehe. Unfortunately, TJ, Alvin and John-John had to leave already so we decided to watch yet another movie instead. We debated if we should watch The Producers or Date Movie and we ended up watching the latter.

Unfortunately, Isabel, Joe and I didn’t get to finish it since we had to go home. The original plan was Isabel and I were supposed to be picked up by my dad at Cam’s place but something rather unfortunate happened and he said he couldn’t pick me up so we ended up hitching a ride from Joe on the way to Pisay. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOE. I really do owe you a big favor this time. )

Arrived in Pisay a few minutes later and OMG, FINALLY! There were loads and loads of stars, which are rare in a place like Manila. AWWW. I love stars so much. Dad picked me up after quite a while and yeah, I went home. Now, I’m typing away this on my computer. )

I wanna do that again. Next week? Naaah, we ought to be more serious by that time.

maaarz signing out.
