The Chocolate War and Into the Woods

*s: 11.25: 11.28 BEWARE! Contagious: Last Midnight - Into The Woods... 29 days till Christmas!

Wow... my third quickie. LOL.

Well, I was planning to make a follow up to my first blog on The Chocolate War. Sadly, I'm racing with time and I'm almost out of momentum. By the time I do have the time, I'll be totally dried up of it. So I'll be writing a quick one here. It won't be as sincere as I hope it would be, but it's here nonetheless. Hahaha!

I have just got to say, it was a WONDERFUL experience working on the Chocolate War. Hahha. I really loved being with all of you and just having fun and going crazy. I got closer to a lot more people, and really, I feel so blessed to be a part of FX. It just reminds me of how much of a family we are.

I'll say it na: guys, sorry na kung lagi ko kayong pinagdidiskitahan, but I never called you useless... and if I ever did, I never meant for it to scar any of you. I just wished you worked harder earlier para mayroon man tayong ma-accomplish na bagay agad. Less work din yan when crunch time arrives. (You know who you are ;-))

Well... I wanna say THANK YOU... a big one... to all of you guys... cast, prod, band, lights, whereever, whenever. haha! It was really, really great being with all of you. And I couldn't be any happier. We did great, and I'm so proud of all of you na nagawa natin to. Hahaha. Grabe! You don't know how grateful and proud I am. :D

.-.

Anyhow, yesterday, we watched Into the Woods. Well, as you know, I am pressed for time. So I can't really say much.. (Although I can) haha!

It was amazing! I loved it.

Although, just like us, they're human too. I could see it during some parts that felt a bit too boring, lisp-y, un-understandable or down-right sayang naman. Also, sound-system problems... just like us.. Haha! Turn-off lang sobra when I couldn't understand what they were singing when they were singing high notes together... their voices were so powerful + different lyrics each person. Grabe... I'm like what the hell are they saying.

But definitely, it was so good. i loved the show! Haha. It really had values it wanted to show us...

Not only that, it made me think a lot about the fairy tales and how much moe meaning it can actually have. The authors--grimm brothers--also had some kind of deep meaning to it... and this play--by sondheim and lapine--made me see this deepness. Haha!

Also, the musical was really metaphorical and symbolic... the open and closed doors, and all those other stuff. It was amazing. also, the cow was cute! Hahaha.

I loved the witch. hahaha. La lang. Galing. But I heard the original broadway (peters) was unbeatable. Hahaha. And I loved little red too! GALING! Hahaha. That girl was amazing!!!! And her character was so sadisticand deranged too... just like her grandma. Hahaha! Galing Galing Galing! haha.

Had I the time, I'd write something more explanative. But since I don't, here's a short anecdote.

Friday's CLE class was very interesting. Our topic was that of the reason of Jesus's passion and death... or something of the same kind.

Well. It was as though we had debate class. Question. Answer. Questions. Answers. More Questions. More Answers. Questions. And I guess, that's why his passion and death was such a mystery to us all. We will never really know now would we.

In a sense, it was quite perplexing to the mind. (For some, it was too hard, that it put their brains on shut down. Hihihi!) Anyhow, I was totally amazed. I couldn't believe it. It was just soooo mysterious that it maks you really curious, but you know you will never know the answer... that is until your enlightened by God.

Somehow, it has strengthened my faith. It made me proud of being a Christian. And you know what, I really agree with Mr. Marana. Hahaha! It's truly one of those mysteries--though questioned by non-Christians--that make you true to Christianity. You know?

Other than that, he was talking about one of his non-Christian friends who entered a church and found it so morbid... stained glass depictions of a crowning with thorns, driving of nails and other such cruel stuff. And most of all was the man crucified. I was laughing to myself. I never really thought that we could be so morbid.... so emo until someone else could point it out. Haha. But then, you really see your faith in such a way.

Anyhow, I was able to relate Christianity with Buddhism. THE WORLD IS FILLED WITH SUFFERING. It truly is... take the passion and death. SUFFERING IS CAUSED BY DESIRE. Isn't it really? Didn't Pontius Pilate desire to not have a riot and to appease Rome? Didn't the Annas and Caiaphas want to be the better ones? SUFFERING CAN END. And that's what Jesus did for us. He saved us. TO END IT, WE MUST FOLLOW THE 8 FOLD PATH. Not necessarily those paths, but if we follow Jesus (which is everything right) then we would be with him in the Kingdom of God... where there is no suffering.

Wow. How deep this was. Such enlightenment. I love this lesson. Haha!

f: 11.2: 9.03 BEWARE! Contagious: Santa Fe... 52 days till Christmas!

Haha. Let someone else notice that.
Wow... I'm just 2 more posts away from finishing Lupang Hinirang. Haha!

Anyhow. I just spent the afternoon reading my scenes in The Chocolate War and reading the whole script. Hahaha. Add to that, I've been downloading new music. Haha!

Well. Nothing that interesting in my life. I just wanna sleep right now. Hahaha!

For a reason, I feel really scared.
I feel something wrong's going to happen. And I just wanna scream. It's another one of those helpless cases.
I feel nervous, but I wanna be calm.
I feel annoyed that people have the nerve.
I feel assured that people have the sympathy.
I feel like a mad-man. I am a mad-man.
I dunno what to do. I dunno how I can do what I want to do but can't do in the first place 'coz I dunno how to do it to begin with.
AM I MAKING ANY SENSE? <<-- That was rhetorical... but you can answer it if it pleases you to do so.

Anyhow. Where was I? Nowhere.
I just answered my own question.
I must really be that crazy. Hay.
