Bad and Very Bad News

It has been a while and I've been uber busy with the play coming very soon. And yes, the past week has been eventful, to say the least.

To cut the long story short, a close friend had her necklace snatched from her and I wasn't able to do anything but hug her only because I didn't want to leave her, and I thought (I still think) that she's way more important than any material thing, and it was in the middle of an unsafe trip at almost midnight. Yes, I think she's blaming me (even if she says she's not) but what can I do, she's just more important than a silver necklace.

Second event this week is the death of a cast mate's father. Her father had been bedridden already for a year since he got a stroke, so even if it's so sad, the family was somewhat already prepared for the inevitable. As the eldest (she just turned 18), I truly admire her strength.

Now on a lighter and happier note, we were able to perform publicly for the first time last weekend as a promotion for our musical, and we were also featured on TV with my short interview. It was somewhat impromptu, and I didn't think it will come out okay, but it did thank's much to the amazing Rachelle Dangin of ABS-CBN Cebu.

Two weeks more before our play, and I am not at all pressured production-wise because I know we're all gonna be doing our best. What I'm kinda worried about is the marketing. Now everyone has been doing a superb job with the marketing and all, it's just that the Cebuanos are really not that educated yet with things like these. It's sad but I'm not losing hope. We will continue doing our best, and with all the bad and very bad news the past weeks, I'm sure a ray of light, a bunch good news are coming our way soon.

Love is never blind ♥

There was a blind girl who was filled with animosity and despised the world. She didn't have many friends, just a boyfriend who loved her deeply, like no one else. She always used to say that she'd marry him if she could see him.

One day, someone donated her a pair of eyes.

And that's when she finally saw her boyfriend. She was astonished to see that her boyfriend was blind. He told her, "You can see me now, can we get married?" She replied, "And do what? We'd never be happy. I have my eye sight now, but you're still blind. It won't work out, I'm sorry."

With a tear in his eye and a smile on his face, he meekly said, "I understand. I just want you to always be happy. Take care of yourself, and my eyes."

I'm Back.. I Think :)

After almost 2 months of sorta ignoring this blog, I'm back. Well, kinda. Haha. I lost the last challenge I started and I haven't been around here for ages because I became so busy preparing for our play. Yes, you heard (or read) it right: We will finally have our play next month.

I still have a lot to say but I'm sick and sleepy here at the office so I will reserve it for another time. It's nice to be back though.

Day 17: A photo that makes you want to cry.

This is not a photo but a video that makes me cry every time I watch it.

Day 16: A photo that makes you smile.

Day 15: What you would if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant.

I already answered this in a previous post around 3 months ago, and since then, I don't have another answer. I'm still sticking with what I said the last time. ;)

Day 14: Something you love about yourself.

Something I love about myself is that when I love someone or something, I really give my all. Through the years, I've become more frank and brutally honest, sometimes bordering on being fearless, so I've come to a point where I can really give my all without thinking of anything else. Careless? Maybe, yes.

Day 13: Your least favorite female group.

I don't really hate them, or least like them, but since this is a challenge, I got to say Atomic Kitten. And that's just from top of my head. I'm sure there are a lot worst groups out there as there are really a LOT of them, but listening to one of Atomic Kitten's songs earlier, I'm choosing them as my least favorite female group, at least for now.

And no, I'm not going to post any song here. Haha! 

Day 12: Your favorite female group.

My all-time favorite female group is The Spice Girls. They remind me of my college life, but more importantly, they've got very beautiful songs.

Day 11: A letter to one of your exes.

Dear Ex,

I'm sorry it didn't work out, and thank you for everything - the good and the bad. I wouldn't be as happy as I am now if not for you, and I assume that you won't be as happy as you are now if not for me. We grew up because of each other, and that's one good thing that came out from our past.

Stay happy.

Your friend,

Kal
