on loop: demons ~ guster

watched "st. louis loves dem filipinos" last thursday night at UP. out of all the plays i've ever seen (i've been watching plays since i was about 7), this tops the list of my favorites. i was blown away by the production... the actors were so great, the music apt, and the storyline incredible. and to think this was based on an account of filipino tribes being sent out to the st. louis world expo in missouri (this was in 1904). it was so interesting, and i really admired the talents. the running time of the play was 2 hours and 47 minutes, and at first i thought that that was kinda long for a play on history, which i must admit, isn't the most riveting topic for me. started around 730, ended just before 11. the place was packed! this play was highly publicized and there were actually a lot of celebrities present. a number of other schools also had their students watch the play, 'coz there were a lot of people from ateneo, and even UST, DLSU, PUP and of course, UP.

after the play, the weather was really bad and it was late already. didn't want to be walking around UP in the rain at that time. good thing my dad picked me up, and we ate in JT's manukan and grille. it's this outdorr grille along gilmore in san juan. a lot of people frequent the place 'coz they serve really good food with reasonable prices, and it's a really quaint place to hang out in. it was my first time to eat there, even if i was always around the area and actually live quite close to it. saya, i recommend it to everyone. their kansi (ilonngo version of the bulalo) is really good, and opkors my peborit, chicken inasal hehe. got home pretty late but all's good since i didn't have anything lined up to work on or something.

finally finished my presentation for history... that report's been bugging and stressing me out. good thing it's finally over and my prof said i did good. hehe. yay! i actually should be sleeping now since i'm gonna be going to UP later this morning to see the oblation for a paper i've got due for humanities. after that, i'm also gonna have to go to ateneo and visit the art gallery. it'll also be for the same subject. thinking bout getting to go back to ateneo almost made me cry kanina. hehe o.a. ;p i'm just sad that i was too impulsive and left without really thinking about the repercussions of my actions. it's really hard to live with regret, and i'm not the best person when it comes to coping with stuff like this. i don't really like it whenever panghihinayang just creeps up on me when i least expect it. i just hope hope i'll get over it soon hehe. anyway, it's prelims week next week and i just realized i've actually got a lot of stuff to study for. i promised myself i won't cram anymore, para kahit sa ibang school, makapag-DL manlang ako harhar.
