Addition Hills, Mandaluyong City

Cast Party at Val's place in Mandaluyong. Some pics from Ann. Super fun bonding time and party. Too bad Matthew and Minnie didn't make it. =( We got the chance to express how we feel about our performance, the class, and the teachers. We watched our show on video courtesy of Tita Ann. =P We reminisced what we did during the past two months doing workshops, rehearsing, and hanging-out together. I enjoyed every single moment that I spent with this lovely bunch of people. We got to affirm each other na rin. The best part of it, we have loads of food! Yeah! The best! Sira ang diet ng bawat isa. Haha!! Sarap din ng vodka by Ann ang Nadz. I love it! Sobrang mami-miss ko talaga 'tong class na 'to. Haayy.. Back to our same old routine again, back to school for me. Kung pwede lang everyday na lang tayo mag-rehearse. Haha!

Like what I said during the party, I found my 'corner of the sky' in this class. I learned how to sing without the fear of being criticized. I learned how to give my best and show the people what I have. I discovered a lot of things about myself. I learned how to be confident with each performance that I make. Sa class lang na 'to ko nasabi na this is where I really belong, that I enjoy acting, singing, and dancing and doing them altogether with these energetic, talented, and lovable people. Thanks to our dear teachers, Teacher Sweet and Teacher JC, who gave us their best kahit na we're having a hard time hitting those half notes. =)

Guys, let's keep in touch pa rin ha? Bible study tayo with JC and labas tayo once in a while. Invite niyo rin ako sa mga auditions and gigs. I'm gonna miss those saturdays na ang ultimate question lagi ay "Saan tayo ngayon?" Pati yung mga scene exercises na ginagawa natin as a class. Mami-miss ko rin yung chichacorn ni Isabelle at ang "Hey there wait a minute Mr. Postman..." line ni Karla at Rolls. Siyempre sino makakalimot kay Baltimore at sa "Yeah!" ni Kuya Maine? Nakaka-LSS din ang mga songs na Maybe from Annie at Inspector Mills. Haha! Sama-sama tayo sa pagtupad ng ating mga pangarap. (Shemss.. Parang Pinoy Dream Academy lang ah.. Hihi!)

For that, I'll leave you with the lyrics of my trademark song in this class, "Corner of the Sky" from Pippin. Gosh! This became my heart song na talaga.

Ehem! Ehem!
(music please!!!!)

Corner of the Sky
From ‘Pippin’

Everything has its season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason and I'll soon show you a rhyme
Cats fit on the windowsill
Children fit in the snow
Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

Every man has his daydreams
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have
Of sticking to the soul
Thunderclouds have their lightning
Nightingales have their song
And don't you see I want my life to be
Something more than long....

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
Just listen when I'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn:

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky
