sem break

sem break.the almost one month sem break.

sem break in rural is different.it's just called sem break..but we don't actually have a real break.it's always practice for intrams.. and now, physics project.ugh.

anyway, here's what got me to blog again: i might be able to spend the whole of sem break here!yay!that's an awesome opportunity to bond with my batchmates since we are..about to graduate.waah. the past sem breaks, i spent about 2 weeks in manila, since i do have to spend time with my family. :)

anyway, chiara is coming over this saturday..oh no.not that i hate her..i don't. well, not really.in fact, we're sort of learning to get along.. i mean, sometimes we're okay, most of the time we're at each other's throats. maybe because we're so alike. well, that's what people say.

they say that we're both outspoken, very stubborn and very naughty. they say that you hate someone of you're like that someone. really? maybe.. maybe not. i don't really know.

mumsy said to "enjoy the opportunity to bond as sisters". excuuuuse me. what opportunity?it's not like i'm always home. i'm rarely home. i leave in the morning, i come back at night. why? i just don't wanna be here anymore. i hate this house. i hate most of the people living here. and i can't get over the fact that lola said "uuwi na si chiara sa sabado."

NO.no freaking way. uuwi? yeah right. our home.. is in manila. ayt?

not here. not in this big ol' house with granparents who stink and people who take advantage of you.

i'd rather be anywhere than here.

La Vie Boheme!

Have you watched RENT? It’s a Broadway musical that has a movie version. Anyway, that’s what our section put on for our musical. The other sections did The Wizard of Oz and Grease.

Aside from our everyday, late night practices, we had THE practice. The one that lasted the whole weekend because the presentation was this Monday.

FRIDAY
8 people slept over at my house. 6 of the 8 major characters, the technician, and a friend from the Grease section. It was fun. We didn’t really practice, sort of just bonded. Around 11pm, we went out and bought some snacks. Around 2am, some went out to buy juice and some GSM blue (gin). Then we drank. (you prolly already know I’ve got a high tolerance). It was Trish’s first time to drink outside her house. She got a lil drunk—she kept laughing and banging her head on the bunk beds. Henry got a bit high and was dancing to “Out Tonight” from the Rent Soundtrack. And he was vomiting words. Words you don’t hear everyday. Nope, not curse words—we hear THOSE everyday.and it was just so.. fun. So we slept at around 5:49am. We made arrangements to wake up at 6am to buy pandesal. There were five of us in one bed.

SATURDAY:
When I woke up, there were only two of us in the bed and Henry and Trisha were holding pandesals in front of our faces.
Henry: wow! Yung mga hindi pa lasing at chaperones” and natulog ng 1 hour! Hyper pa kasi kami ni trisha!
Reg: hindi niyo kami ginising!
Trisha: ginising naming kayo!
Henry: lahat kau mukhang isda! Si ickz mukhang suso, si Reg mukhang sapsap at si sam mukhang tilapia!

Reg: eh?wait, asan si ickz?
Ickz: andito.. hinulog mo ako sa kama eh.
Henry: ako nga muntik ko ng masubo paa ni Reg! at pano ako nagicing? Ganito. Biglang may paa na bumagsak sa dibdib ko at napaubo ako. Ang likot ni Reg!

The six of us went to Vega to pick up some of our other classmates. Kate and pat were left behind. We went o to Vega with sleepy looks, and our classmates there laughed when they saw us. Mga “mukhang bangag” daw.

Not all of our classmates showed up.. there’s still those who don’t join group activities..people who keep to themselves. So we practiced the whole day. We went to Vega for lunch and dinner. Then the boys plus kate and me donated money to buy more gin. We planned to drink it as a celebration for when the Rent practice is finally over!


SATURDAY NIGHT:
About 23 of us.

We got the spooks. No doubt, our house is haunted. We’ve always known that..this is a pretty old house anyway.

The first scare of the night:
Sam and Kiel got water. I was with them and they asked me to close the kitchen door because they were spooked out.

The second scare:
Henry entered the hall shivering and crying. He had seen a silhouette floating outside the kitchen window. The kitchen!!!

The third scare:
Popet asked someone to accompany him while taking a bath because joepau had heard three shrieks coming from the bathroom.

The fourth scare:
Sandra was pushed down the stairs by someone and her toe bled.

The fifth scare:
Kate, Kiel, Sam and I went ghost hunting. We all saw something in our van and we ran up the stairs to our front door. We were all panicking and couldn’t open the door because all our hands were there. When we reached the hall, we were sweating.

At around 12am, they watched horror movies. While Kate, sam, ickz and I (who only got an hour of sleep on Friday) slept for about 2 hours. We were each sprawled on four monoblock chairs placed side by side. We were beside the movie people and they said we looked creepy because we were all stiff and covered in white blankets.

Para daw kaming nasa morgue.

Then we practiced some more and around 3am, we brought out the drinks. Gin mixed with mango, with pineapple and with pomelo. Yum! Of course, not everybody drank. Joepau couldn’t stand still and henry was laughing at him. Henry, this time, was as annoying as hell. J kate and I divided them into two groups. Henry in one, with the people who drank only a little, and two who din’t drink any at all, and joepau in the other room with the rest.

The others slept at about 3am, but us in charge of the drinking only lay down at 4am.

SUNDAY:
We planned to wake up at 6 but woke up at 8 instead. Actually, clacla said that the last ones to wake up were kate,sam and i—the “chaperones” and the others were too shy to wake us up, since we WERE the ones who had calmed them down.

When we woke up, our set was there and we planned to paint it that day. We went to vega and ate breakfast. When I got back, cla, lara and Janine were finished painting the base paint. They left. That afternoon, henry and sam came over and we painted the set..1 door, 2 windows and 1 thing. Around 7pm, Bianca came and she bought us clubhouse sandwiches. Sarap!we even finger painted one wall of the set.. it looked like a graffiti wall with the words “Rent!” “Smoke Pot!” “Benny Sucks!” “Fight Aids!” it was a work of art.

They left the house 9.30pm.

MONDAY:
RENT! We were the second to perform and even though we had a few bloopers, the audience said it was a great performance..Especially La Vie Boheme which is about the Bohemian Life. When all the presentations were finished, we fixed up the gym and you could hear shouts of “practice daw uli!” “overnight uli!”

TUESDAY:
After classes, we felt weird. Now that the musical was over, we had nothing to do—except study for the quarterly exams which is today until Friday. Ugh. To make it short, we all missed RENT.

Try watching it. RENT by Jonathan Larson. Great story, great songs.

2 weeks. no electricity.

haha. since the storm, Milenyo, last sept 28, we had no electircity. UPLB has never looked this ugly. all the trees.waah.and our school?well. let's just say na lubog siya sa putik. LITERALLY. :)

anyway. ngayon lang nagka-kuryente..so i'm back to blogging.. pero not right away. siguro next week. yun lang.haha.
