Supersize Peachykins! [Saturday
05/03/08 at 12:00pm]
Costume measurements for Mulan is on Monday and I bet that I'm gonna freak out when I see the figures.

Today, I went to 3 consecutive dining places and I feel that I'm really bloating. This happens almost everyday and it's equally happy and unhappy! Ugh it's so difficult to choose what to wear everyday since I'm used to wearing fit (but okay) clothes, and now those fit clothes are getting tighter everyday! HAHAHA. I usually shed off my Christmas calories during the summer (since it's dance/workshop season), but now.... I dunno. Food is chasing me! Haha. It's so hard to refuse blessings.  

...but I'm soooo tamad for HipHop Abs! And I'm always out so I the only time I'm home is DSL or sleeping time! Teehee. Plus. I hate that McDo is giving away happy free upsize coupons that allow me to upsize my happy Cheeseburger! Agghhhh. 

Oh well towel, eat and be merry for tomorrow we shall diet!!!

spur of the moment life lessons from Lea. :) [Thursday
04/17/08 at 1:33pm]
I'm terribly bothered at the moment. Tomorrow will be a make or break day for me.

It was great help though that Lea randomly asked why I was "bothered". Wasn't expecting she'd ask, but anyway. I discussed the situation with her and well, she helped me fathom what's going on as well.

12:11:13 AM Lea Salonga: hahahaha!

12:11:21 AM Lea Salonga: don't lose sleep over it.

12:12:12 AM Lea Salonga: at the end of the day, your grades won't matter in the real world.

12:12:32 AM Lea Salonga: the quality of your work and your work ethic however, will.

12:12:37 AM Peachy Atilano: i know. well i wish i could make my mom realize that too.

12:12:57 AM Lea Salonga: she just wants you to succeed... in the hope that you'll succeed in life as well once you graduate.

12:13:09 AM Lea Salonga: parents are interesting creatures.

12:14:57 AM Lea Salonga: but you have to live your dreams.

12:15:05 AM Lea Salonga: not anyone else's.


"But you have to live your dreams, not anyone else's."


If there's one thing I badly needed to realize, this might be it. I've always tried to do things in such a way that it will complement what my mom discreetly (or bluntly) asks of me. Well, maybe it's good enough that I had the liberty to choose what track to take in college, but it doesn't help that she pours out enormous expectations, especially right after my graduation. It's like her ultimate dream that I graduate and she constantly thinks that we will be filthy rich the day after I march and get that spectacular little thing called diploma.


It's not that I don't want to graduate, it's just that I fancy more favorable things at the moment. I'd rather take my feet to a happy environment (which more likely spells out the word "theater"), than trying to please professors who'd rather have things happen their way rather than how you think it should be.


And for the next term, I'd have to excuse myself AGAIN for the conflicting class schedules because of Mulan rehearsals. Fine, priority must mean 'school', but I just don't find peace in that realm. I just want to get this over and done with. (Good grief! I've been saying this since first year college!!!)


I want to feel free at least. I want to be able to do my shows without class conflicts. I know I'm in a hurry, but I'm really getting tired of all these pretensions -- pleasing people just to get that 'spectacular little thing'.


I just want to be able to do what I want to. Without the pressure of my mom. Well, yeah, theater is definitely NOT a very lucrative profession, but it's the profession that you could juggle with other things. I'd rather live with mediocre financial status doing what I like than be filthy rich in an environment that would consume me alive.



"But you have to live your dreams, not anyone else's", it's one of the best lines I've heard. And I just had to hear it tonight.


Thanks for the prayers, Lea! :) I really appreciate everything you said.

my post-birthday surprise party :)) HAHA thankyouuuu. [Tuesday
06/05/07 at 2:43am]

June 4 2007

This day is my new birthday :)) HAHA. I was uber surprised to see Gigo in Starbucks and I got really confused and blah, haha. He said that this is a free country and he can get himself a drink wherever he wants to. Then he asked if I want to have dinner with him in Tiendesitas since he has no kasama and stuff, and he waited for me til I was done.

PFFTTT, didn't know that Tricia and Marvin were there, they set up this lil elevated gazebo with Spongebob table cloths, party hats, plates, glasses, balloons and all that jazz (because there was a shortage of Disney Princesses in Toy Kingdom daw) haha. They put a huge tiara (with pearls and studs) on me and I had to wear it the whole night (which made me feel like the Statue of Liberty) HAHA. After our candlelit dinner, they brought out a happy pretty pink cake!! Aaw Gigo thankyouuuu! You're the guhreatessst.

My twin got me a happy Disney Princess lunchbox and happy pretty pink treats inside (to make up for the Spongebob stuff HAHA) Thanks twin I love it!! :) And Marvin's 20-question-creature drove me nuts.

We walked around Tiendesitas (with my tiaraaaa!!) and made friends with happy pets! Aaw they're so pretty! Then we went to Fun Ranch HAHAHAH :)

Gigo brought us all home but they stopped over my place first haha.

Thank youuuu Gigo, Tricia, Marvin!!! I love you forever and ever and ever. :D you guys super made my day, and I'm still in shock. :) I LOVE YOUUU :)

my first time as StageManager! (i'm back in REP yeay) [Friday
05/18/07 at 11:28pm]
I'm having my life back...from zero to hero.

I was a bum this summer, doing practically (and really nothing) but DVD marathon. It's my first time to be idle in such a long time and it killed me somehow that I couldn't go to Rep for the 2nd consecutive year because school break officially starts mid-April and ends mid-May.

So there, I started my summer knowing that I WILL watch Rep's A6 showcase but noooo, I suddenly got involved. Got a text from Hogi and Sundee (he said 'please be our SM' and how could I say no? :p)

Mia's backing me up with my first backstage job yeay. I'm really apprehensive about everything but I'm having fun. I'm kind of getting the hang of it :)

Please watch the show! "The Wedding Singer", at OnStage Greenbelt 1. May 25, 2007. 8pm. Tickets are at P150. :)

screw Sanjaya / AI blahs [Thursday
03/29/07 at 4:03pm]
[ mood | annoyed ]
[ music | Over It - Katherine McPhee ]

I've never experienced this much loathing for an American Idol contestant before.

The thought of STILL having Sanjaya in the top 9 is a big insult to the United States. Cuh'mon. I wonder where that'd take Sabrina Sloan and Stephanie Edwards to.

Parang isang malaking joke lang siya sa AI.

Especially last night when he made a PATHETIC ATTEMPT to make Simon bara with his faggish looking stupid mohawkish-wannabe hairdo. Whaaaat the.

I don't even blog anymore but because this is really getting to me, here I go. Ladidah.


I'M ALLERGIC TO SANJAYA. HE'S UGLY. =(


To all the fortunate AI voters, vote for Melinda Doolittle! Yeayeeah

Rep blues at Jay's Party [Sunday
03/11/07 at 8:28pm]
[ mood | excited ]
[ music | Room 317 - Miss Saigon ]

Yesterday...

..was an uber long day for me and Tricia so we initially thought of not going to Jay's party anymore. And besides, twas my mom's birthday too. Haha. Oh well.

We met up at Ateneo and blah, and came pretty late :p aaw when we went in, Meynard was there and so were happy Rep people! Twas quite a reunion, teehee. Funny how we kept on having that impulsive need for the ever-so-inevitable song vomit. Meynard started singing songs from JCS, OOTIS, hahaha, we just had to burst into our songs :p too bad we didn't actually have the chance to jam.

I missed these people more than anything. :D

the happiness eater [Thursday
03/08/07 at 2:50pm]
[ mood | bored ]
[ music | Land Of The Loving - Lea Salonga ]

I can't help it.

I seem to lose the better of me when that big grey cynic comes to consume me alive, leaving no hope for a step backward, a rope to grasp, or a breath to even try to release a long and loud shriek. It feels as if I'm its favorite delicacy.

Imagine stepping into a room of colors and candies, of jellybeans and lollipops... it makes you want to spend the remainder of your lifetime locked in a chamber of unyielding chuckles, but then this Mr. Oh-I-Shall-Eat-You cynic-chimera attacks you and you'd think it's just just a trap and all. You'd have crazy ideas of candies having nasty fangs to chase after you, to eat you instead of you feasting over them. Suddenly everything becomes monochromatic. Colors snap and disappear, leaving one bitter rainbow in shades of grey. You take a step forward and fall into a cliff with ugly serpents waiting to gobble you up.

AHAHHA joke lang. OA na.

Anyway to make thoughts easier, isn't the 'happiness eater' the most irritating thing in the world? Here you are having the time of your life, celebrating the little sparks of happiness that fall upon your feet. You try to be in all smiles for at least a short span of time, and kaboooooooom, the happiness eater comes and in a fraction of a second, you're back to a world bursting with bitterness and blahs.

Pfft.

I just got home and I'm way too lazy to write.

Tin, Ate Hogi and I met extra early and had lunch at Pizza Hut. Ahaha yeay. So there. After eating we went up to the cinemas and saw some cast friends, blah. We also saw Hendri (who btw is the producer of HSM) and there, he told us to come in already though the house doesn't open til an hour or so. So we stayed with some BlueREPpers in the theater first then watched their rehearsal run before the show started. Blah.

Wait. I just realized that...we didn't use our tickets :( ahaha. They're still in one piece, untorn, unused... we shouldn't have bought. ahaahha

The show went pretty well and it was fuuuun! :D except that I thought the number of people in the cast was quite big for the stage, there were 40 something of them. Hahaha. Anyhoo, Karel Marquez was a good Gabriella naman :p ehehe.

Yeay to the Salonga. PICC Uncut concert [Monday
02/12/07 at 10:22pm]
[ mood | blah ]
[ music | Popular - Wicked, the Musical ]

I'm not in the mood to write but I feel like typing soooo...

So yesterday (Sunday, 11Feb)...

Twas so funny that Tin and I had problems with our tickets not because we don't have any for the concert, but we had spare ones :)) So we thought of Tricia and yeay after a lot of suspense, she's ready to come even if her mom never really gave a definite "yes" :p

So after several misadventures on the way to the area, Tricia, Tin and I successfully arrived at PICC :)) ahaha. We had another extra ticket and some scary scalper bought it from me! Oh well, better sold than wasted.

I guess this is a very uncanny Lea concert. She was sooo kulit and everyone kept laughing! :)) Kamusta naman, in the middle of a broadway repertoire, there was an unfamiliar intro so we were trying to guess what song it was...lo and behold it was the o-tukso-layuan-mo-ako song :)) hahaha, she said it was requested by some very reverend father watching :p

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
ahaha, she personalized "Nothing" from A Chorus Line.
She said "Salonga" instead of "Morales" and "Manila" instead of "San Juan" :p


Ooh, she sang I Dreamed A Dream TWICE. Her first and last song. Deja vu. >;p

Blahdiblah.
Of course she was given flowers before the show ended and while that was going on, Tin, Tricia and I were talking about our semi-pathetic "dream" of at least becoming a flower girl. After like 20 minutes, we bumped into Charmie as she came out of Lea's dressing room....ahahha we didn't realize that she was the girl who gave the enormous bouquet to Lea pala :))

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
see, this is Charmie! :))
(although someone already took the flowers away)

So anyway...
We weren't able to get pictures with Lea coz she had to leave and blah. So Chari (commercial: Chari directed the concert!) took our cd covers and she said she'll ask Lea to sign it for us nalang. I think she's taking it to Cebu pa or something coz they're having a concert there. She'll give them back to Tricia at HSM rehearsals. :D

'a dream is a wish your heart makes'...?? [Sunday
02/04/07 at 11:56am]
[ mood | confused ]
[ music | Promise Me - Lea Salonga ]

And there it goes again.

Everytime I wake up, event frames play in my head rewinding the so-called movie that ran in my sleep. Yes, I weirdly remember the odd flicks that I dream about. Mind you, I don't just remember-remember, but I see them happening again when I try to recall when I wake up. I find it rather strange because I used to forget dreams, but the wheel has been turning lately.

In the morning, my dreams leave me either laughing, crying, sobbing, and sometimes even laughing while crying. One time I woke up in tears---I dreamed that Karla got mad at me because I forgot to switch off the light OF THE SUN. Then a couple of weeks ago, I dreamed that I was some sea creature (mermaid?) and together with my aquatic friends we tried to escape from an evil sea tyrant and illegally lived on land...then my brother had a large pool with lots of fish living in it then I drank all the water because it was pink and I thought it was juice or something, then all the fish living there died! What the hell.

My dreams also revert my childhood. I always dream of my dad, our house at Valle 5, and chunks of nostalgic things. These are the dreams that make me want to sleep forever.

And the list of the strangest things goes on...

The Dream
by Lord Byron (1788-1824)

Our life is twofold; Sleep hath its own world,
A boundary between the things misnamed
Death and existence: Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality,
And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy;
They leave a weight upon our waking thoughts,
They take a weight from off waking toils,
They do divide our being; they become
A portion of ourselves as of our time,
And look like heralds of eternity;
They pass like spirits of the past -they speak
Like sibyls of the future; they have power -
The tyranny of pleasure and of pain;
They make us what we were not -what they will,
And shake us with the vision that's gone by,
The dread of vanished shadows -Are they so?
Is not the past all shadow? -What are they?
Creations of the mind? -The mind can make
Substances, and people planets of its own
With beings brighter than have been, and give
A breath to forms which can outlive all flesh.
I would recall a vision which I dreamed
Perchance in sleep -for in itself a thought,
A slumbering thought, is capable of years,
And curdles a long life into one hour.

~~~
Ditto, Lord Byron. :p

What then are dreams? I've read so many stuff about this and it seems that no one has ever really found the real sensible logic behind it. Is it just something created to "entertain" our minds because it's boring to be idly asleep? Or does it really mean something we've yet to find out? Is it like a candy-coated precaution or a series of what-ifs?

If the Freudian theory of sleep was correct (though very uhm...ahaha), then geez, I guess I must be scared :))

frozen beginnings [Wednesday
01/31/07 at 11:30pm]
[ mood | discontent ]
[ music | Love Heals - Rent OST ]

I think it's a good thing that the press corps' literary editor-in-chief (uuh, Joseph) is seemingly forcing me to join the staff again. If I will be compelled to write, I guess I can have my sanity back.

I dunno, I just stopped writing.

I'm a lover of words and it's just scary that I stopped writing--well, for school papers, literary publications, and even my own blog! I just think that there's nothing happy to write about lately. I'm afraid I'm even beginning to lose the capability to write a single sensible paragraph.


~~~
I still find it hard to stay in an environment which doesn't really cater to what my system's used to (with that I meant people). Sometimes it's just so hard to deal with a certain type of people (which apparently is about 90% of the population) and the thing is you can't even try to say why you're so annoyed with them coz duh, you're dead if you dare. I've been "surviving" for almost 2 years, and I will hopefully survive another final year. And...HELLO, GRADUATION. (wooow, that sounds really fulfilling. good riddance.)

But don't get me wrong..I love my course :) REALLY. It's the course I've wanted from the very beginning and right now I'm enjoying my majors dearly (well, except the part where I have to draw). That's why no matter what, I still went for it...even if it's only offered in this school. Sabi nga nila, "you can't have it all"-- haha, so there you go: perfect course with a blah environment.

Anyhoo, yesterday...

Met up with Carol at Shang and hahaha whenever she comes home from the states there's nothing good to watch. :)) Before she came, Rep's Sound of Music just ended and when she leaves ZsaZsa Zaturnnah at CCP will restage hahaha.
So anyway. We watched Kasal Kasali Kasalo since there was no choice. In fairness, I thought the film's pretty good and it actually made sense. Plus it was quite original, not like most local films.
Haha.

~~~

Twas quite difficult bein a Christmas grump. And the holidays didn't turn out that bad after all. Anyway so there.

Random holiday blahs:
- Tricia and I "celebrated" our Christmas at her house on the 23rd. Well, not exactly, but anyway. Hahaha. Yeay happy gifts! Funny that this year I got her a lot of stuff for Christmas, and she did for me too :)) Haha, I love you twin. Thanksthanks. I haven't planted the egg thing yet! But you'll be the ninang of my plant.
- Ate Hogi gave my Atlantis' Avenue Q button. Yeay, I'm now a walking advertisment!
- I had to evacuate to the guest room because my room is the messiest most horriblest place now! Hahaha, it'll be painted kasi. It will be the pinker than the pinkest room in the world! Yeay!! Anyway, and because of that...
- I discovered that I don't need 50% of the things in my room. Hahaha. So now I have to throw/give away half of it. I realized that there are hidden treasures too. Haha.
- My kuya came home from New Zealand! :D
- There has been an overdose of uberly sinful food trips.
- I'm poverty again. Because. I spent all my Christmas money to get a new phone! Yeay I got na my motherboard ipod phone :D

I wish this year would be great. Happy new year. :D

You know what.
I can't believe you can't sacrifice little things for important traditions when in fact I can't even imagine trading the family for anything else in this effing world.
I swear this is the worst year of my life,
and of course it doesn't seem like it, but it is.
And you're aggravating things.
Thank you for making this Christmas the worst too.
Kung ayaw mo sumama edi wag.
Mag Christmas ka mag-isa.

happy birthday Hogi / Rep's Sound of Music [Monday

[ music | You Can't Stop The Beat - Hairspray, the Musical ]

Wasn't able to get a chance at the pc earlier, so here it is.

So last Saturday (Dec16th)...

...I went Christmas shopping at Glorietta/Landmark/SM/Greenbelt, hahaha. There were alot of people rushing their shopping too, the malls were sooo crowded and lines were uber long! Good thing I had like four hours to shop. At around 6pm, Ate Hogi came (happy birthdaaay!) and we looked for this shirt she was looking for at Artwork. We went to Bench after and shopped more of my gifts and waited for Tin. I had six heavy shopping bags with me, good thing they came and helped, haha. Funny, one of the paper bags were uber big I can squeeze myself in it! :))

We had dinner at Yellow Cab and after eating, we checked out the Philippine Madrigal Singers at the Greenbelt fountain area. OMG, they were seated while singing and their voices were kglnbnbkldnfklbhaueighkjdfhvkjhvjksdf woah. :D and then and then after the show there was a fireworks display! Yeay yeay yeay.

Me, Hogi, Tin at Timezone haha


So there, we went to Gb1 to just check out Sound Of Music because we didn't get tickets for that day, twas already sold out =/ so there we hung out at the OnStage lobby with the Rep people and we watched the Tony Awards, Avenue Q, Wicked, and some weird japanese guy on Sundee's laptop (Robbie Guev's brother, yeay) and he was forcing me to take his brother's class next year, hahaha. Then we went on talking about theater companies since Hogi's from Trumpets, Tin's from Tanghalang Pilipino and I'm from Rep :)) the racism of theater! Hahaha.

It's so depressing that we can hear the show and we can't even watch :)) Sundee said we could come in buttt... hahaha nevermind. :p after the show we just went inside to greet everyone.

Menchu!!! :D


Yeaaay Menchu said "hello peachy!" and shook my hand when she faced me! I was very speechless :)) She remembers me! Wahoooeeee :D

When Cherie Gil learned that we weren't able to watch coz tickets were sold out, she told Hogi that she should've called her for tix! Ngarrr. Fine. Thanks for that =))
Cherie is my favorite. Super. She's as great as she is on tv when she's on theater, especially in Doubt! But of course I like her better on stage :D Cherie and Menchu, yeeaaay :D

We hung out in the BlueRep room to kill time while waiting for people and yeah, coz I had to lend my recorder to Reb.

[ music | Waiting For Life To Begin - Once On This Island, the Musical ]

At 8am, Tricia and I had our last minute song rehearsal. So Tricia's singing Waiting For Life from OOTIS and Wizard and I from Wicked. My "final" songs were Special and Purpose, both from AveQ.

Weee, it's the pakwan I gave Tricia! :D

Munchy munchy twins

We went to Ateneo at around 10:30ish, and there were alot of people! Ohmy, our numbers were 95 and 96, and it's only number 20something's turn to sing! Good grief, there were 200 who came to audition for HSM, hahaha.

**It's so funny that everyone calls me 'twin', hahaha. Tricia always introduces me to everyone as her twin, so there. It seems that the world is my twin now.

Twins with Charmie

GABBI. She looks sooooo different now, we can't even figure out what changed, hahaha! :D

Dan was there and he did the choreography of the dance for We're All In This Together, which was slightly different and more complicated than the original one. We had a hard time picking up the steps, and my brain wasn't functioning very well. Hahaha, FUNNY.. Tricia and I isolated ourselves in this little corner to practice the dance.. and one by one people snuck in and kept on saying 'can I join you?', hahah people we totally don't know. And after a few mins, *tadaaaah* there were already ALOT of people dancing with us =))

Jio was there. He made paturo songs from Ave Q since I brought the score, and after each song I teach he'd say, 'ayoko yun..di ko alam yun..'. Goodness, Jio hahaha. So he ended up with Aida songs (DUH).

Anyhoo. It's funny when Dan said that he's gonna kill the next person who sings On My Own, HAHAHA. That song's completely overused and it's one of the biggest no-no songs for auditions! :)) AWHOLELOT of people sang that song and really, it's getting very hilarious.

This was THE FIRST time in my whole life that I changed my audition piece on the LAST MINUTE =)) Tricia thought that since Purpose is a guy song, the key might be too low for me and I might get lost and screw up in front of Chari (noooooo.....). So there. I changed it to Forever Yours from OOTIS. Can't believe I did that. And what's sooo annoying is, Special is my better song. So I should sing it first, right? But nooo.. when I entered, they got the OOTIS minus one right away and there was NO pianist! Rony was sitting beside Chari, faaaaar away from the piano and ohhh nooo, Forever Yours was playing and I was freezing in front of Chari. I find her soooo intimidating (who doesn't?) =/ Anyhoo.. I was freaking out but I had no choice but to sing Forever Yours :( ohwell. It was okay.
Happiness from Chari's exact words: very good, you're really good.
Heeey, it's not everyday I hear that from the Chari Arespacochaga.
:)

Okay. Digression to the next annoying conjunction she said which was "but..". HAHA. THERE'S A BIG CONFLICT IN MY SCHEDULE. My classes are effing annoying. I still have classes upto 9pm and rehearsals start December 1st!

It's sooo funny. The last time I auditioned in front of Chari was during Beauty and the Beast (Atlantis), and I had THE SAME exact problem. SCHEDULE. It's the second time I heard her ask me 'are you from La Salle?' =)) What is it with my effing class schedule and shows that're with Chari!?

Haha. In short, I auditioned just for the heck of it. I have no plans of joining it either way =)) Even if I make it or not, my school schedule's a real mess and there's no way I can get to Katipunan from Taft in 5 effing minutes. At least I gained another happy comment from Chari. That's all I worked for, nyahaha. Besides, we're not getting paid anyway, no help to poverty.

Anyway, after the whole stint, Tricia and I stayed to hang out with Joms, Reb, Alys, Jio, and other happy friends.

OMG this entry is long :)) I was just excited coz my last big show was Feb this year :(( I've been idle for so long, and it paralyzes me.
=/

It's 9:30pm and I haven't eaten anything for the whole day. I only had Pei Pa Koa and coffee. Gotta go pig out. =p

P.S. Please congratulate my twin, Tricia, because she already has Globe wahooooo! :D
