swollen ankle

Rom and I met up at CCP yesterday so we could go to RCBC together to observe Chynna as she calls the show of ZsaZsa Zaturnnah from the tech booth. When we got to the auditorium, we got to stay in the lobby until open house before we were let in. Found Tops in the lobby, and the 3 of us sat at the table right across from the TP booth. Even got to have a little small talk with Kuya Manny about our upcoming show in Atlantis. Then he was joined by Mekmek and Ruby before Chynna finally took us to the tech booth, where I found Kuya Eric still working there.

A few pointers before the show opened, then it was showtime. I watched cue after cue being called, and I suddenly realized that I really was going to do He-Me-She-It (dubbed "Pronouns" by Carms, hahaha!) on my own. Yayks.

Hahaha, the "layas" was still hilarious. Instead of just Nar doing the silent cry, this time, Vince also did it, and they did it simultaneously, hahahaha! And half the time, when Arnold breathed in between in his lines during songs, parang humihigap ng sabaw. Are you endorsing your latest commercial, dearie? Hahaha.

Early call time this morning, as we had to record one sound effect in the Little Theater lobby. Holy kamote, when I went up from the tech booth to check up on things and was on my way out, I didn't realize how high the door was that I didn't see the additional step on on side. I tripped and twisted my ankle, rawr. It hurt a lot then that I had to sit down behind the seats for a couple of minutes before I returned to the dressing room. I was already limping and my ankle was ready to swell. To make things worse, the CD players I got won't cooperate, and won't play Sir Jaime's CD. Rawr.

After rehearsal, I had to strike our stuff, and by the time I was done and had dropped by the TP office, I found our cast hanging around by the elevators while having their lunch. We all ended up hanging out at the LT lobby after that.

I claimed that I had already ate by the time I saw them, but I was actually starving and didn't want to admit it. Thank goodness that Russ brought Pringles, hahaha. After quite a while just sitting and lying around on the carpet, I decided to think about what to eat for a late lunch. Suddenly I got a text message from Aris. Apparently Tita Lita had bought to much food and decided to invite us to join them for dinner at Dampa along Macapagal. So Aris picked me up and we headed over there.

Yumm.. seafood galore. There really was so much food! We got to meet Stefan, this guy that Rosa works for in Switzerland. Hahaha, by the time we were done eating, it was videoke time! To take my mind of my ankle that was already swelling, I took this as an opportunity just give videoke singing a try. Yahoo, only two of us got a score of 100. Naks.

By the by, Sir Roeder's finally back from Germany. Found him outside the main entrance off CCP talking to Direk Victor of Kasaysayan. When he saw me and asked what I was up to, I said that I was part of the Labfest, but as an ASM and not as an actor. Once again, he scolded me lightly about gaining enough courage to act. He looked at Direk Victor and said, "Ang ganda-gandang babae nito, takot umarte, eh kaya naman niya." Then he turned to me and told me that I should want it badly enough if I really wanted to act. He's right.

CONQUER IT, HOGI!
