Hello Mr. T! Just got home! Barry, Rhitz and I went to see the first showing of Cinderella in CCP a while ago. It was a musical night. Anyways, I didn't come to class today. My mom told me there were no classes but unfortunately there was. I think she misheard the the radio announcer. But even if I wasn't able to attend my classes today, I was happy cause Jeffrey was online. Yep, we chatted the whole morning til after lunch. It was a breathe of fresh air being able to talk to Jeffrey that long after a very long time. So we chatted, we laughed, we joked and we teased each other. Just like the old times. I miss Jeffrey so much Mr. T! I just really wish that August 7 will materialize. Then went to the bank twice. I was fixing some stuff so I could get me some money for myself.

This is one topic Jeffrey and I talked about:

Hahaha! See? That's how we love each other, we fight! Hahaha! After banking, text messages coming from Rhitz and Barry and Matthew flooded my cellphone. The Cinderella ticket was for 4. Luis backed out since he'll be attending a party again at The Fort. He just can't since the play was to start around 8pm. So I had to look for another person. Matthew was in school. He said he could go but an hour before the play he backed out. He told me he just couldn't make it cause of his thesis. So there, I tried texting Mike but he was asleep. So I didn't wait anymore since it was already 6pm and there was free dinner before the show starts. Ate and Erwin went with me to CCP. There I met up with Barry. Yep! Free dinner Mr. T! It was bountiful --- finger foods though. People inside the lobby were well-dressed. Some wearing neck-ties and dresses. I was wearing my usual T-shirt and pants get-up. Barry blended with the crowd Mr. T! Wearing a red long-sleeves and a slack pants to match, he was with the crowd. Like what I told him --- SHUSHAL!  There, we ate, we talked we laughed then came Rhitz. Good thing for Rhitz his shirt was collared so he wasn't that off. Huhuhu --- poor me. I should have dressed more formal. Anyways, ate and Erwin had to leave cause they have lots of things to do. So the 3 of us were left with those socialite people. I really can't move when I'm in a crowd like that Mr. T! I'm not regal or composed or whatever, it's just not me. Like what Barry always tells me --- MAHIRAP. Hahahaha!

Anyways, there, the pic above is the invitation and the err, vase?!?! on the table in the lobby. The program started on time. Not earlier or later. American time is it since it was an American production I think. The auditorium was filled with people. Not a single seat was vacant. We sat on the Orchestra Mr. T! Yep, SHUSHAL! Everyone was well poised, composed and quiet. Me? I kept talking to Barry and Rhitz. I kept laughing and moving and changing my sitting position. Barry and Rhitz were seated quietly. Hahaha! Spot the SHUSHAL and MAHIRAP! Hahahaah! There, I wanted to piss for the whole duration of Act One. Good thing there was a 20 minute break before Act Two started. As much as I wanted to stand up and proceed to the restroom while the play was going on, I just can't. I'll be the center of attention if I did so. And yeah, I told Barry that the songs they sang on the play were familiar. It was because it was the same music and adaptation used in the Cinderella movie starring Brandy and Whitney Houston! It was Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella.

The costumes were colorful and details were very intricate. Stage was outstanding and the way they changed backdrops were unnoticeable. The singers were brilliant and Lea Salonga, as always, was flawless. Yep, this is not the first time I've watched Lea Salonga live. If my memory serves me right, I watched her Christmas Concert back in 2005 with Karol and Tara and we had patron seats in Araneta. I can't say much about Lea's voice. It always leaves me speechless because of awe. After and during the break, we took pictures of ourselves for Jeffrey to see! We saved the unused ticket for you Jeffrey! We'll give it to you when you get back! Hahahaha... here's our camwhoring moments (I'll upload the pictures on Multiply):

After the show we decide to hang out first. Since Barry parked his car in Harbor Square, we decided to scope the area. Well not actually scope but to hang out in that place. It's our first time in Harbor Square. We decided to stay in Starbucks to talk and laugh and plan and drink and eat for an hour. Rhitz and I kept laughing a while ago. I wonder why Barry wasn't laughing with us. I saw Kreme (a former blockmate) inside the coffee shop. We chatted for a while then went back to our table. The the rain poured. Tough luck for us since we sat outside. There was a covered area thankfully, so we stayed there. Er, gays were all over the place Mr. T! Hahaha... I guess gays love hanging out on Mondays! Hahaha!

The view of Manila Bay from where we were seated was dreamy. Neon lights lit the sidewalks and well-lit buildings were reflected by the sea. Subtle waves and tiny whirlpools from the sea were also in sight as if mermaids want to appear on the bay! Hahaha! The drizzling stopped. The sea was calm and gentle. The sea breeze was kissing our faces. We were laughing and thinking. We were all happy. But it was time to go. And like what Rhitz said: "Ganito pa kaya tayo pagtanda natin?" --- I hope so. And I hope Jeffrey was there too! :-)  Then we played Mama Mia! soundtrack in the car! Nice! Update you soon Mr. T! Mwah!

"Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

P.S. We should've been featured in Motor Mouth a while ago! Hahaha!
