WHEN: JULY 12, 2009 at 8PM
WHERE: GREENBELT ONSTAGE
One of the longest running shows in the history of the American theater. It opened at an off-Broadway theater in the spring of 1960, where it remained until the production finally closed in early 2002.
In a clever reverse of the Romeo and Juliet story, two fathers, Hucklebee and Bellamy, a pair of small town fathers who in a well-meaning attempt to spark a romance between their children, devise a scheme in which they pretend to feud.
As a carnival arrives to bring some excitement to the sleepy village, the fathers persuade a mysterious interloper named El Gallo to stage a mock abduction of Luisa, which will hopefully prompt Matt to come to her rescue. However, while El Gallo's plan succeeds, he also awakens his innocent charges to the darker and more disappointing side of love.
What unfolds is a timeless story of innocence undone, of illusion lost and wisdom gained; a story of growing up and facing the sometime cruelty of the real world and in the process, finding that love was waiting in your own backyard.

From the very depths of my being, I want you to know that I hate you.
I hate you like I've never hated anyone before.
And boy, I hope you find out. I hope you know. |

November 14, 7PM
Fully Booked, High Street
Fort Bonifacio
Ticket prices to be announced soon
In November, women all over the world commemorate what they call "Take Back the Night." (Information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Back_the_Night)
Also, the Twilight movie is going to be screened in the Philippines on the 26th so my aunt, working with Kalakasan Foundation, decided to hold an event to celebrate the upcoming film and take advantage of the book's context to talk about violence against women.
There will be movie passes and posters raffled off.
There will also be things like poetry reading, interpretative readings of book excerpts, etc etc.
This will be with the participation of the Twilight Coven (I know, right? Who would have thought we would have one)
The money left over will donated to the family of Tara Santelices.
I admit I have never read Twilight but because I promised to help my aunt, I had to educate myself so... voila. I've read the book (am starting on New Moon as we speak) and believe that this event will be socially relevant to women everywhere. SO if you have any ideas or want to participate, please let me know by emailing me at gossamer @ gmail dot com. Any suggestions are welcome and it would be great if we all came together and helped out.
The event will be hosted by Karen Kunawicz. |

| Taking back the night |
[Nov. 4th, 2008|09:29 pm] |
So tomorrow, I will be meeting with my tita, Karen Kunacwicz and a certain Sheila from the "Twilight Coven" about an event that will be happening next week at Fully Booked, High Street.
I have never read Twilight so I don't know what I'll be contributing in that aspect but the event is focused on women and their safety on the streets at night, etc. I think it will interest a lot of bloggers because the event encourages people to speak about a traumatic vehicular accident, getting mugged, etc. My tita also mentioned dramatic readings of excerpts from Twilight, poetry reading, etc.
It's all very hazy but if you're interested, please leave a comment or email me at gossamer @ gmail dot com and I'll have all the details by tomorrow night.
Time to sparkle like Cullen, people. It's for a cause :) |

So I lost the receipt of my license. NOW WHAT. The insurance company is asking for a copy.
EXCUSE ME.
All I know is that I have a license and it hasn't expired. How odd would that be, if a license would be voided because you don't have a receipt, made of flimsy paper that absolutely anyone can misplace/destroy.
Anyway, I'm freaking out and I need advice. Obviously the law doesn't say anything about the receipt VALIDATING a license, or at least as far as I know. Will the insurance company get away with avoiding liability just because I don't have the frickin' receipt? Nowhere in the Insurance Law does it say that. |

At 2:30 in the morning, I was on my way home and while I was on the ramp going to the Service Road, a huge container van sped up ahead of me and because I am paranoid about tailgating, I stopped and let it get ahead. In a matter of seconds, the driver lost his brakes and backed into my car, shattering my windshield and taking me with it. Thank God the hold of the van on my car slipped and I was slammed into the side of the road. The HUGE HUGE HUGE container van went straight down, hitting two jeepneys and two other cars. One passenger got thrown out of the jeepney and lost his teeth, bumped his head in a major manner, etc.
I COULD HAVE DIED. The hole was right where my face was. All the police officers came running to me asking if I was hurt and all I could do was scream. There were no tears. It was only when Red and my parents came that I was able to cry like hell. If I had brought the smaller car (and I was really considering bringing the Nissan), I wouldn't be here typing this entry, warning everyone about tailgating and just defensive driving in general.
I was not speeding, I was not drunk. But the driver of the container van was, and he admitted as much at the police station.
I never imagined I would get into such a huge accident. I have been involved in a couple of car accidents, one that was generally bad, with BJ years ago. We weren't hurt but we could have been. This one, however, was a miracle. There's no other explanation for why the windshield didn't shatter in my face (I only got wounded in my legs where the driver side window was smashed) or else I would have been disfigured. There's no other explanation why the van didn't take me all the way down with it.
Miracle. Thank you God. |

Your result for The Director Who Films Your Life Test... Woody AllenYour film will be 66% romantic, 41% comedy, 30% complex plot, and a $ 23 million budget.

Regardless of his personal life, his films are American classics. Take The Director Who Films Your Life Test at HelloQuizzy |

- I believe Ruffles Cheddar with Sour Cream is the best potato chips flavor on earth, and, borrowing words from Phillip Seymour Hoffman, anyone who thinks otherwise, I will fight to the death.
- On that note, I will choose Ruffles over cake, chocolate, ice cream and/or cookies.
- Ever since I had my eyes lasered, I have had an extreme dependency on eye drops. I have a whole assortment of them.
- I felt genuine panic when I lost my Rules of Court. However, I am also looking forward to buying a new one! Breaking out a new codal is satisfying to me (and to law students everywhere, I'm sure)
- I have hyperthyroid, meaning I am on medications for life. Meaning, it's difficult for me to gain weight. Meaning, I have to take blood tests every six months. Meaning, it sucks.
- I have never had a mani/pedi in my life and have always wondered what they feel like, since I always cut my own nails. Maybe soon.
- It's only recently that I got the chance to get haircuts on my own. My mom always felt the need to watch over my haircuts like a hawk and I have no idea why. She always thinks I'll do something crazy, like *gasp* actually get bangs!
- I don't know if I truly like being in law school but I also don't know what I would do, otherwise. Stasis, thy name is Mika.
- That said, I have forgotten everything I've learned in my first 2 years of law school.
- I really should go back to studying Succession. And shower.
Tagging: Von, Camille L, Kara, Martin ... and I guess anyone else who hasn't done this. |

The past few days, I've been focusing on what I don't like, what I don't have, what I can't do and what he doesn't do, rather than what I do like, what I do have, what I can do and what he actually does.
Thanks to my beloved Camus, who has given me a crash course on how to (eventually) change this outlook. It's not easy. Every time I'm down, nobody can really console me but myself and many a friend has given up on me. It doesn't take much to make me happy but the problem is, it doesn't take much to make me sad either. I'm like Eeyore with a split personality disorder.
Today, the last day of summer vacation, I am just going to focus on the good things. |

[May. 11th, 2008|04:27 pm] |
There appears to be a basketball tournament in full swing in the village behind ours, and it's driving me CRAZY.
There's only one commentator and she keeps saying "Number ___!! Basket!"
What the hell does "basket" mean? A failed attempt? Or a sure shot?
She seems to be enjoying her job though. She's there as early as 7 am and goes on till late afternoon, with intervals of Chris Brown's "With you" and that Apple Bottom Jeans song in heavy rotation.
But really, what the hell is BASKET. |

I could really use a new book. I finished the one I was reading (Night and Day - Virginia Woolf) two days ago and have no idea what to buy next.
Any suggestions?
School's coming up in a couple of weeks and I will, again, not have the time to read what I want to read. |

May I just say that I love Zithromax and all its 3-day glory. I have finals coming up and I have the stirrings of a full-on flu and because I can't be bothered with 5 days of forgetting, I now only have to deal with 3! Hurrah!
I'm still not all better but it's a big improvement from yesterday where I felt and sounded like I had buckets and buckets of phlegm.
I love you, Zithromax. And Claritin. And Benadryl. And Sinutab (Extra Strength). And Decolgen (non-drowsy).
Oh and of course, I love you Thyrax. Without you I would still think I had Parkinson's disease and a golf ball in my throat.
Amen. |
