12:55 pm - Encounter with the Sister
|
Last night I had a serious talk with THE sister. And for the first time in my life, I felt I was facing the Judge in the great throne of heaven, ready to be "fete or fed". I could certainly tell now how it feels to be in trial.
Notwithstanding the "grill" feel of that moment, I must consider it a very rare experience of my entire lifetime. I never anticipated the day that I had to answer the most intelligible, straightforward, and difficult questions of my generation. The theme of her inquiries revolved on my true intentions and the degree of my interest for her sister. (I imagined myself being caught naked in the shower!)
She is a very smart lady, full of great opinions, and equally pretty as her sister. How she had me thinking for two hours, 2-4 in the morning! While everyone was making love with their pillows, I was taking a long quiz in the wee-hours face-to-face with the teacher, in McDo Libis!!!
I could not believe I was going through all that. It was not a dreaded situation, I should say. It was more like awkward. But by and large, it was a healthy and nourishing conversation. I learned a lot from her POV. I shared mine. I even got useful tips! Indeed, it was a trade of ideas about how love could remain puzzling and worth-talking about.
After a lot Q&As, nodding and smirking over few cups of coffee, I came to ask: Is love a form of education? a job application? or a reality talent search?

12:04 pm - Thankful
|
I felt so blessed last Sunday... very very blessed. It was the run of our play "Estragel" at the Angelo King Hall in Pasay and being the director/scriptwriter, I assumed a considerably Herculean task of putting everything into place. It was a new experience for me because I never did theater before. My directorial experiences were all class productions-based. Theater, I realized eventually, has a more "real life" feel - no re-takes, no undo and redo. Everything is one shot at glory. Last sunday was not an exception.
I never had doubts that I and the gang could make it. But there was this inevitable feeling of uneasiness and wavering confidence in ourselves due to a lot of circumstances that confronted us in the course of putting up the said play. To wit, we only had four weekends to rehearse. Save for one, all of us have no prior theater involvement. In other words, we dared the impossible. And proud enough we are to say that we have achieved a major feat in our lives.
Just when we thought we only had ourselves to rely on, there was Someone up there Who gave all of us the strength and wisdom that kept our toes going that day. In the midst of the anxiety and exhaustion, His spirit was hovering in our midst, keeping us in motion. Without His help, we could only do so much. That is why at this juncture, we are very much thankful. And perhaps for the rest of our lives we would always be.
Thank you, Jesus.

9:41 am - Wake Up Call
|
I woke up this morning with a sense of responsibility. I am not THE morning person, nor THE organized one. But this morning was a bit different for I have come to realize from my recent sleep that there is no way MR. Sluggish and Procrastinator can make a better me. I am pretty sure that I am not the only one in this world who woke up this morning realizing that hey, I need to rush and catch up. This is sort of THE moment when a person opens his closet and finds some old clothes that should have been in the garage sale many years ago; or when he looks at himself in the mirror and hears his conscience saying, hey you need to change that old hairstyle. This morning was my wake up call. I better go and change!

11:54 pm - Heavenly
|
Last night I went to UP Manila for a vesper service with the AMiCUS chapter there. I must say I had a lot of good times there. I learned a lot from the speaker who happened to be very animated in his sermon. I (very much) enjoyed filling my stomach with vegie palabok and puto. The Christian company was very warm. Everything else was perfect. The best part though was staring at my crush and having not to worry about breathing. Halleluiah!

Tonight I can write the most virgin words here in this Live Journal. But I have to contemplate hard first. Wait.
