Praise HIS name and see it happen!

Came back from Bataan for a show of Joseph the Dreamer. It was a success, inspite of all the technical difficulties during the afternoon when we were stage adjusting.

Our calltime last Saturday was at 6am in Trumpets Office in Pioneer. Me, being "professional" , woke up at 4:30am to fix my damn hair (I've been to the stadium in Bataan and the bathroom's hell, so i figured to fix myself already). So my hair was all poofed up, all ready for the show. We arrive in Bataan at around 9am, had breakfast and got ready for our rehearsal in the venue. I swear, I've never seen so much TIE-DYE in my life, from the set design onstage, to our costumes, everything was screaming tie-dye fashion. We only had one aircon in a wing backstage, so we usually would just squeeze ourselves into that one room coz the stadium was freakin' hot. The whole show, fortunately was in lipsync, because the stadium had bad acoustics and sound was bouncing everywhere. A lot of adjustments were made so the sound would SOUND REAL. and to top it all, we were all wearing DUMMY WORM MICROPHONES (think Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, N'SYNC, the mics with a wire sticking out from your ear and the head of the mic to your mouth)to add to the whole "look". It was so cool! hhaha... =) We had an HOUR to get ready for the show, wash up, to put on makeup, costume, etc. then it was SHOWTIME!
The show was a blast! everything went well, the audience were very responsive too, i saw some people cry during the touching scenes. I was dead-tired after the show and i just sat down on the floor to eat the dinner they served us. Most of the cast went home on the same day, i opted to stay for another night coz i didnt want to travel and arrive in Manila at 3am. So Tita Jinggay, June V, Viking, the other production people and myself took it easy and went "bar hopping" after the show. hHAHAHAH....that was an experience. We went to this "Happening" place in Bataan named JOYOUS bar. Well, i know its a province, and who am I to mock people, but it was kinda funny to see a gig wherein 3 girls, dressed in the same clothes (tube top, pants with 2 slits on both sides with the cut reaching up to their waists, and boots) singing "Sasakyan kita.....sa lahat ng gusto mo....". Grabeh, "A" for effort i swear. And nobody was applauding after each song, it was only us who were clapping for support. We head back to the hotel and just spent the night watching TV instead.
So far, life is good. Still hoping and waiting for the next project to come, hopefully callbacks for Beauty and the Beast. I feel truly blessed that the Lord has showered me in abundance this year, and i can't wait for what he has in store for me for the next months to come. =)
