Nothing beats a classic UAAP game between the eternal rivals, the De La Salle Green Archers & the Ateneo De Manila Blue Eagles.
For this 75th season of the UAAP, I am sure that the De La Salle community expects a lot from the Archers basketball team after a four-year drought. With the rookie, Jeron Teng who has proven himself already in the past games, and veterans LA Revilla, Norbert Torres and Luigi dela Paz, the team's and community's spirits are up and hoping for a win from the Eagles.

I'm about to perform a monologue tomorrow for my theater class. I've had a really hard time choosing and deciding which piece to do and what type of acting I would like to show. Believe me, I hate performing in front of many people if it comes to acting.
So, I came up with three choices.
1. GET A GREAT PART FROM AN AWESOME MOVIE. A Little Princess written by Richard LaGravenese & Elizabeth Chandler Sara: I don't have a mother either... she's in heaven with my baby sister... But that doesn't mean I can't talk to her, I talk to her all the time... I tell her everything and I know she hears me because... because that's what angels do. My mom is an angel and yours is too. With beautiful satin wings, a silk dress, and a crown of baby rosebuds, and they all live together in a castle. And do you know what it's made out of? Sunflowers. Hundreds of them, so bright they shine like the sun. And when they want to go anywhere they just whistle, like this... (whistles) and a cloud swoops down to the front gate and picks them up and as they ride through the air, over the moon and through the stars... until they are hovering right above us, that's how they can look down and make sure we're all right. And sometimes they even send messages. Of course you can't hear them with all the noise you were making... but don't worry they'll always try again... just in case you missed them.
The
Notebook
written by Jan Sardi & Jeremy Leven, from the novel by Nicholas Sparks
Allie: Do you remember sneaking over
here the first time you told me about this place? I got home late that evening,
and my parents were furious when I finally came in. I can still picture my
daddy standing in the living room, my mother on the sofa, staring straight
ahead. I swear, they looked as if a family member had died. That was the first
time my parents knew I was serious about you, and my mother had a long talk
with me later that night. She said to me,"Sometimes, our future is dictated
by who we are, not what we want." And I know it was wrong of her to keep
your letters from me, but just try to understand. Once we left, she probably
thought it would be easier for me to just let go. In her mind, she was trying
to protect my feelings, and she probably thought the best way to do that was to
hide the letters you sent. Not that any of it matters, now that I have Lon.
He's handsome, charming, successful. He's kind to me, he makes me laugh, and I
know he loves me in his own special way...but there's always going to be
something missing in our relationship -- the kind of love we had that summer.
2. MUSICAL PEG
I think Jesus Christ Superstar is one of the most dramatic, memorable and classic musical movies ever. I'm choosing the parts of Mary Magdalene where she sang Everything's Alright and I Don't Know How To Love Him from this 1973 hit movie. Her voice matches mine, I love this movie, it makes me cry, it's heart-warming.. All in all, this will be perfect.
Well, for this musical... I honestly haven't watched the full movie. :( But, I've heard a lot of great parts from it and I was thinking of making my own version of Over The Moon. It would be a great monologue piece, but my problem will be if my theater classmates have thought of this already. I don't want to be compared in the end.
3. DO AN IMPROMPTU MONOLOGUE. (Which is probably the most stupid idea I ever made. :| HAHA)
The main idea of this monologue is to showcase my talent. So, I decided to stick with the musical. I've chosen Jesus Christ Superstar. :) This will be a big challenge for me since tomorrow's performance will also be our audition for our final theater act. I hope I'll do great tomorrow.
Here are the videos of the original songs I'm performing tomorrow. I'll be mashing the two and instead of singing it all the way, I'll do some parts in a speech form. Or should I say, acting dialogue. :)

UP Manila Salinlahi, a Philippine Arts organization, had their annual acquaintance party at the Mezza Residences. Organized by the Juniors, the event "Wet 'n Wild" definitely speaks for itself.
Spent last Saturday with high school friends: Kimy Espiritu, Richie Decena, Luigi Donida & Raymart Isais. I was supposed to finish all my reports, but damn it. Spending the night with these people is just worth the cheat. :)
1st stop: Cafe Boheme
2nd pitstop: Classic Homes Village Living young, wild, and free. ;)
I grew up waiting in the living room with my family, waiting for the hit comedy series Home Along Da Riles to start. There is no Filipino who doesn't know the King of Comedy, Dolphy.
I cannot forget other shows of Dolphy like John and Marsha, Ang Tatay Kong Nanay, and Dobol Trobol. Tito Dolphy is what slapstick comedy is all about.
I'm devastated. Hindi ako relative, but the whole country is deeply saddened with this news. Another legend left us with great things to remember, and will surely leave us with laguhter on our faces through the films and TV shows he had done in his entire showbiz career.
The Filipino community will miss you, Dolphy. Rest in peace. Thank you!
Forgive me, it's the birthday month. I have to come up with the list, and share it with everyone else (just in case anyone wants to buy me any). Haha!
I miss having a dog. This time, I want a POMERIAN PUP. <3 Please, please, please!
Oh yes, I want a GUINEA PIG. Look how cute that freaking animal is?
ED SHEERAN'S PLUS ALBUM -- That sexy voice says why I want this so badly.
Lol. Forgive me for this. I'm a girl, understand the wants.
Before graduating from this state university, I wanna own a UP hoodie. :(
(Forgive the model, I love her. Hi, Riki Flores. Hihi.)
Team Manila's Lomography Supersampler Camera (Since I cannot afford to buy a DSLR for
myself, I might as well have this.)
Nike LunarFly+ 3 Women's Shoe Volt/Fireberry (REALLY NEED A RUNNING SHOES. :|)
I hate the sight of red roses. 'Nuff said.
This wishlist will never be complete without food. This month,
I'm craving for Krispy Kreme's mini M&M doughnuts. :)
A girl would always love to have a shopping money. Who wouldn't? :)
I have this crazy obsession with SKITTLES since high school. I'd love to have a jar
of it for my birthday. (Better if each color is layered. Hihi.)
Wishful thinking. I know it's very impossible to get a ticket for this amazing show (especially if the prices are like that),
but I'm still hoping. The farthest seat will do. My love for theater will not stop me from dreaming to watch this.
I'm so happy I didn't ask for liquor this year. Haha! So yes, dear readers, this is my wishlist. Birthday present? :)
