the kind who:
1. talks on the phone/texts from sunup to sundown-
i used to loathe my brother for this. but now i have realized that he
and his girlfriend were probably not aware that they were doing it. as i
have learned, time zooms by when you're talking to someone who is...
you know. special.
2. relates to their significant other even
the most mundane event in their lives (i.e. i just ate ice cream, i
just finished showering, i'm watching wowowee, etc.)- i used to make
fun of this A LOT. i used to say "ano ba yan. pati ba naman yan,
kinukwento pa?" and then this happened to me:
b: naglalakad na ako.XD
a: kamuning station na.:)
b: platform na ako.XD
a: cubao na.:)
and so on and so forth.
3. can't seem to get enough of their significant other (i.e. holding hands on the bus, on the train, while walking, while sitting down, while eating, while paying for a timezone card, etc.)- again, people who do this are probably not aware of the fact because the truth is, when you're with uh... someone who makes you feel all sorts of crazy/wonderful things, having physical contact is the most natural thing in the world to do.
4. giggles when there is nothing to giggle about- i used to be soooo annoyed by this especially when i am at a bookstore engrossed in a book and a couple would sit next to me. and then... the powerbooks incident happened. (i am so sorry mr. green shirt. we were just so... happy.)
5. engages in public displays of affection- and i don't just mean holding hands. wahahahaha!
i can only think of five right now but i'm sure there will be more in the near future. and then, when i have enough, i can compile them and turn them into a chapter of the book i want to write (but most probably never will... hehehe). the tentative title: ekangkarot's guide for first-time uh... daters. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

last week, i had a dream. i was at a rehearsal for a stage play; apparently, i was part of the ensemble. so there we were, chorus boys and girls, watching the lead actor and actress practice a number when the director suddenly yelled, "stop!" he then proceeded to talk to the lead actress. what he said exactly, i can't remember. all i know is after their conversation, he turned around and pointed at me and then he said, "you, you know her (the lead actress's) part, right?" stunned, all i could do was nod my head. "ok, you're doing it." he said. then, the lead actor was standing in front of me, singing his lines, and then i was singing MY lines, and then i can't remember anymore.
oh yes. my very own version of cinderella. from background to centerstage. with a very cute prince charming to boot.
so then, that morning during that limbo moment between gaining consciousness and actually waking up, i started to fantasize about auditioning for a play- any play- just to see and feel what it's like to be there. i imagined what song i would singing for the audition and what clothes i would be wearing and what movements i would be doing. i also imagined what the panel would look like and what they would say after i sing. just your average, everyday theater-actress-wannabe fantasy.
the point which my long introduction is leading to is this: spring awakening in manila. they are staging it here and they are holding auditions on december 9.
i guess i don't have to state the obvious. but i will anyway: i want to try it out.
oh god. i want to try it out.
there are bazillion of reasons why i should. one, because it's spring effing awakening, winner of god-knows-how-many tony awards and one of idina menzel's favorite musicals. two, because i am not getting any younger and opportunities for roles like the ones in this musical will become less abundant as i add more years to my age. three, because this can be a good practice for future auditions, especially for that very important bs theater arts audition i will hopefully be doing next year. i can go on and on and on and on about the reasons; as i have said, there are bazillions. but the truth is, i only need one. and it's BECAUSE I WANT TO.
there is just this one thing. i feel like it's still too early. premature uh... whatever you call it. i have no theater experience at all (unless the high school stuff counts) and my exposure to musicals are only limited to listening to the soundtracks, singing the songs in the shower, and watching videos on youtube. plus, it's atlantis productions, which is, like, one of the major theater outfits in the country. i mean, would they give shots to inexperienced, first-timers like me (and i'm only talking about shots at auditions here)?
maybe they won't. but maybe... just maybe... they will. so maybe i should. as jed have told me, it's never too early. as michelle would surely say, i gotta start somewhere.
and as hanni have pointed out, i got nothing to lose.
nothing at all.

yes, yes, i am.
if i could extract this feeling out of my soul or heart or whatever and put them into small vials and send them to every warring nation in the world for them to smell or drink or douse their hateful bodies with it, you bet your ass i would. then peace and harmony will rule the earth.

I Remember
by Mocca
I remember...
The way you glanced at me, yes I remember
I remember...
When we caught a shooting star, yes I remember
I remember...
All the things that we shared,
and the promise we made, just you and I
I remember...
All the laughter we shared,
all the wishes we made, upon the roof that dawn
Do you remember... ?
When we were dancing in the rain in that December
And I remember...
When my father thought you were a burglar
I remember...
All the things that we shared,
and the promise we made, just you and I
I remember...
All the laughter we shared,
all the wishes we made, upon the roof that dawn
I remember...
The way you read your books,
Yes I remember
The way you tied your shoes,
Yes I remember
The cake you loved the most,
Yes I remember
The way you drank you coffee,
I remember
The way you glanced at me, yes I remember
When we caught a shooting star,
Yes I remember
When we were dancing in the rain in that december
And the way you smile at me,
Yes I remember...
