Practice makes perfectWhoah, guess i haven't blogged in a long while.So darn busy these days that the the first thing i do when i get home is plop down on my bed and sleep. the past week, all i've been doing is attend practices here and there. I'm even scared to go out of the classroom,coz i'm sure that within a few minutes, one of the people from the groups i'm with are gonna find me somehow and say, "uy,practice mamaya ah?" and i give em my usual nod and "sige,sige" and sometimes without even thinking that there's also another practice with another group at that time. Heck, even staying IN the classroom is trouble, as i sit right next to Chua who tells me that we're gonna do all sorts of these nice songs tapos yun pala he hasn't even told the guitarists an so we cant play it. Sure, i didn't mind at all at first, its fun to be part of these things, but last thursday and friday i just couldn't take it anymore. Me, jas, karla, sugi and hazel were excused from class to practice for the formal dinner which is on feb 22 and 24. Parents,students and alumni are gonna be there, including some of the very big and famous people who used to study there. Anyway, we're all pressured kasi daw the other branches of OB ahd a really succesfull formal dinner, and of course, being the main branch we have to do better. The theme of the show for the dinner is everything that the alumni have done in the past, their big shows like
headin' for broadway, fairy tales come true and
ang galing ng pinoy. Friday was the general rehearsal, and they just fixed our skit (jasmine and aladdin) the night before. Well,ok lang. but i wish they'd send us home already if they knew that they were'nt gonna be able to work on our part. ;p Ok, so yesterday was dress rehearsal as well, and i provided the costumes for the poor cinderella, annie, and sandy in grease. I thought mine would be taken care of by the school na. But when we go to the costume and props room, i see this sparkly, sequins-y, blue BRA with dangling beads and a blue gypsyish skirt on a hanger and they tell me that THAT's Jasmine's costume. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!! and they wanted me to wear that without any flesh colored thingy inside. no freakin' way,man. After incesantly telling them that i HAVE to wear something inside at least, they finally gave it to me. And thats not all, it comes with finishing touches. there are these 2 sparkly arm bands, an equally sequinsy blue thingamajig that you wrap around your waste that makes you look like a belly dancer, and best of all, a band that you put on your head, that kinda looks like princess jasmine's crown except that instead of a stone in the middle, there's a big sparkly "J". Lovely,isn't it?
We had a tiring run through and rehearsal from 8:30 to 1, tapos rewind was supposed to perform pa at la dolce at 1. Gaaaaaaah!!!! luckily, babz was understanding enough to see that we were so exhausted and told the teacher na next week nalang kami magpe-perform. haay. thank you babz. We had an hour break,then at 2 to 6, practice again. Towards the end, mrs. ciricaco was loosing her head again and kept yelling and swearing at us through the microphone pa, and then the teachers started arguing about our performance sa assembly. geez, why do you guys have to make it so complicated? just dont make us perform for the assembly then! Anyways, after that, jasper tells us they want to practice pa after 6. ohmygaaaaaad. Sorry, but this time we just had to say no. "Bahala nalang tayo sa prom" he says, and i dont know if he meant that sarcastically. Well, yeah...bahala na sa prom. too tired to care.
PromSpeaking of which, the prom is in 6 hours. I finally got my dress last night...it's ok, much better than last year's at least! Hmm, im not that excited. I just like the getting ready part (haha, such a girl) but then im sure it wont be as much fun as i want it to be. Heck, my date's even more excited than i am! Sometimes he's more girly than me and jas,hahaha. (keedeeng arvs!) Sigh, daya kasi, my friends are sleeping over at edsa shang after the prom, and i'm the only one out of my closest friends who wasn't allowed to go. POOP. I know my mom's reasons, and its not really because of that "no sleepovers as long as your a girl in this family" which has been a rule for 3 generations already. But....it's my last year!!!!!! :'( sigh...... this is one of the things i hate most, i'm always not able to go to these sorts of things, either coz of transpo or coz its a sleepover, its too far,etc.. i've missed a whole LOT of these during my high school life. SUCKS.
oh well, i gotta go now... tell you how it goes soon.
