February at Its Best
Friday, February 29th, 20081) My pre-Valentine personal drama (buti na lang di s’yadong tragic. Buti timing sa nth revision ko ng novel) and surprise, surprise…prudence worked.
2) Yehey, congratz to myself! Finished the revision my mentor asked for and enrolled in final defense, which also means, more nights of "passionate patience" till April. Send me lots of goodluck, friends.
3) Yehey, the Cagayan de Oro-Camiguin trip with two of my former students came true! Photos are coming soon. Hehe. As my digi cam is not water proof. Did white water rafting, checked caves and hot springs, waterfalls, islands, a cemetery, hills, churches and plazas, and of course, the tiangges. Hehe, bought some DVDs at CDO.
4) Watched the ff:at CCP, for free: "EJ," a rock musical on the lives of Edgar Jopson and Evelio Javier. Inspiring, especially dahil got to finish the nth revision of my novel. Kaya lang, rebulto lang dun si Evelio, our Ninoy Aquino in Antique. Love the script of E.Maranan and the music of the The Dawn. Then there’s the play of my good friend John Teodoro staged by DLSU’s Harlequin at CCP, "Unang Ulan ng Mayo." Glad students love it. Had lunch with John and encouraged him to write more musical. Last night, Feb. 28, watched the Virtuosos concert. Fabulous:)
5) Watched, at last, "Desperate Housewives." Dude, I’m hooked:) Got interested only after a smart middle-age friend commented that she loves it for being down-to-earth. Got curious what she meant by that and resolved to find it myself. Hehe, it took me to be at Cagayan de Oro to finally shell out 60 bucks for it:)
6) Yes, I was at the Ayala Peace Rally 2008 for truth and accountability. Joined DLSU’s group with Kate and her Mom and cousin. Walked in the rain for that; the Makati streets being my treadmill that afternoon:) Missed that feeling…that anger…that hunger for truth and accountability. Shed some tears for my sad republic.
