Back in Cebu, but for a show, not for blog camp.

Typing this while sitting alone in the hotel room here in Cebu. Yep, after 2 weeks of rehearsals, Children's Letters to God will be shown tomorrow at the CICC. I can't believe that 2 weeks flew by so quickly. I love the cast and crew, and everyone's so fun to work with.

Our flight (well, for Bart, Dingdong, Acey, Ikey, Nar, John and me, as Jill and Nicco went ahead, and Bianca has yet to arrive early tomorrow morning) to Cebu this afternoon was supposed to be at 3:30pm, but like most afternoon flights, it got delayed for an hour. Ended up just hanging around the airport terminal, eating and joking around, and even learned how to play Monopoly Deal because Ikey brought his deck of cards. When we boarded the plane at around 3:30, we thought things were going as scheduled. Apparently, we still had to wait until 4:30, and our plane took off at around 5pm because there was already a queue of planes that have yet to take off.

By the time we arrived in Cebu, it was early evening already, so we headed straight to CICC (Cebu International Convention Center, where our show will be) from the airport. We did a quick run of all the blocking for John (our lighting designer), talked a bit about the technicals, then left right away to have dinner. Ended up across the street at Dimsum Break in Parkmall. Oh dimsum, yummm. And to think that I already had Chinese food with the cast a couple of evenings ago. After dinner, we had 20 minutes to go around before we had to head over to the hotel. Ended up chit-chatting with Ikey as the rest had paired up and headed their own ways.

It was quite the joyride during the trip to the hotel, as we had all dumped our bags inside the pick-up we were riding, and (with the exception of Hendri and Bart), we all sat in the back. Crazy, but super fun and hilarious.

So now, I'm here in the hotel room, glad that the wifi signal's pretty good inside the rooms, because we were initially told that the wifi signal's better in the lobby. Anyway, it's high time to hit the sack, as we have a run-through early in the morning.

To anyone reading this who's in Cebu, Children's Letters to God will be showing at the CICC tomorrow at 10:30am, 1pm, and 3:30pm. Hope to see you there!
