Of Pensive Things.(revised)
Somehow i feel distant towards this blog. I haven't been writing much and i don't know if it's coz i'm too lazy or because i'm actually afraid to. Afraid because I don't know what's gonna come out. Afraid that i won't be able to do the words or wonderful thoughts justice. I've stopped writing, as in really writing probably when i was 15. I remember starting a story at the back of my old music notebook when i was 13. It was based on a dream i had, and since it was summer, i had a lot of time to write it. But then lots of other things started to happen, so i only could continue the story every summer. At the margins of the pages, i wrote down the date and what age i was, and i could see it change from 13 to 14 to 15 as i flipped through the pages. Finally, when i reached 16, i remembered about it again, but then the notebook had accidentally been thrown when our room had been renovated, and the story of the dream became a huge blur anyways. It was such a waste of a good story. It's rare that i get to remember dreams, and although i can't very well remember this one anymore, i remember that it was beeyootiful... something about an island. Well, now i get the best ideas when i'm just randomly staring out into space, but then the moment i think, "i gotta remember this for my journal!", POOF! there it goes, back into the air from wence it came from. Wish i had a watchamacallit like Dumbledore where he could store all his thoughts in and just go back to it for reference every now and then. What's it called again?? Ahh yes. A pensieve. Wonderful things, those pensieves are.
Speaking of dreams. As i've mentioned earlier, i hardly have dreams that I remember. Most of the time, as soon as my eyes open, any memory of a dream just vanishes. But quite recently i actually remembered one: I was with someone in a big empty room with a high ceiling and lots of windows. (let's put the person under the name of "person X") It was nighttime, and me and person X were sitting down, eating McDonald's take-out food and talking while light from the moon outside was shining in (how dramatic.) Then I lyed down on his lap and we started turning around and around on the floor, like the special effects of some movie. All of a sudden, person Y comes in, and i couldn't care less. All i know is that i was happy. Happy than i've ever been in a while. And what creeps me out is that persons X and Y are people i actually know, and I really don't want to see either of them in that way... anymore, anyway. It's just weird because person Y just keeps appearing in my dreams. Even though "it" isn't the "star" of the dream or anything, "it" just HAS to be in there, even if "it" just plays an extra or whatever. Well, this mind's made up! I threw away the key. (cue music!)
BUUUUT....speaking of dreams, i just had one that recently came true! I FINALLY got to have a picture taken with Lea Salonga. I've seen her in person quite a few times, but could never muster up enough courage to actually ask her for a picture. Well.... this time was no different. Hahaha. But many thanks to Chari Arespacochaga who asked her for us after ushering for "DOUBT", we got it ;)

Anyways.
My supposed 2-week vacation before school starts is non-existent now. Rehearsals for Stages of Love began right after summer class, without a moment to spare, so i still end up going to school everyday. So i techincally only had the 2 weeks before summer class as my summer vacation. Ahh, what fun. But it actually has been a lot of fun, i hate being idle for more than 2 or 3 days knowing that there's nothing to do. Plus ushering and rehearsals are a lot of fun. :D (although half my body's aching from it.)
