Fantasies come true!
They really, really do. :)
(For porn!)
Soooo, Friday. Showed up at ATC around noon. It's an annual ritual for me to go to The Spa on my birthday, so I did, and they didn't disappoint. It really is my favorite spa. ♥
Then I went to Jesi Mendez to get a hot oil hair treatment and have my make-up done by this older gay hairdresser who was a little bratty, but hella talented. Disasters in the past (i.e. make-up so thick and tacky that it made me look like JonBenet Ramsey) had made me wary of getting my make-up done by effeminate male hairdressers, but Bratty Gay Man has restored my faith in them. Hehe! Like, when I said "light make-up lang," he actually followed directions. Haha. I loved the look, with the white and green eyeshadow and light pink lipstick. I'd totally go back for other events.
My brown halter dress made me uncomfortable about my arms and back, so I spent the next hour looking for a suitable bolero. The silver Oleg Cassini one I'd fallen in love with was no longer there (it's the bolero that got away! *sniffle*), so I just got a simple black one from Folded & Hung. Went to buy road trip food at Makati Supermarket, and shopping in a dress and boots made me feel mildly overdressed, but whatever. On my way to Omakase to have dinner with the gang, I ran into Miggy, Sam, Soph and Kat at the Activity Center, so we just went there together.
Everyone was so dressed up, aylabit. We met up with the others and had dinner at this quaint little Japanese restaurant called Omakase, where we taught Miggy how to eat sushi. :)) I had uni sashimi, which everyone else thought was weird (it is hahaha). Spent dinner talking about that notorious CL test. Winner! Ang ingay natin, pramis. Obnoxious table of ten. :P
Then...ROOOOAD TRIP! Ang auti niyooooo. The seven at the back were making Sir Cloyd jokes (hahaha) while Jam, Miggy and I were in our own little Broadway world near the front of the van. We played the
Spring Awakening OBCR and made plans to
send in our audition tapes. We'd be willing to play any role we get on the show, but I would kill to see Megeh as Georg ("and this time, bring out the left hand!") and Jam as Wendla, of course! Though if you don't want to do the simulated sex scene, you'd make for an adorable Thea. :) I want to play Ilse, mainly because I'm kind of an Ilse right now -- not in school, a free spirit wandering around and making new friends in my own Priapia, The Artists' Colony.
At the RCBC Plaza, all ten of us filed into the elevator and then they started jumping at the same time, causing the rest of us to freak out in fear of our lives. We filmed some promotional stuff for
Lorna Lopez's company which is going to appear on YouTube. *whines* I don't wanna be on YouTuuuube! I don't like how I look in videos. TT____TT
Avenue Q was just as AH-MAYYYY-ZING as I remembered it. Everyone was fantastic: Felix Rivera was adorable and winsome and bouncy, Aiza Seguerra and Frenchie Dy were hilarious, Rachel Alejandro was brilliant, and Joel Trinidad was FOR POOOORN. Trekkie FTW. It's so hard to pick a favorite! (Though my choice for Hottest Cast Member is obvious. :P)
The crowd was roaring at "The Internet is for Porn," and we were like
*ahem, ahem* to each other during "There's a Fine, Fine Line" (haha hi Kat Monster! XD).
And shempre, quotable quotes =
stat message love the following morning!Remember how
Micmac and I got to meet the cast members after the show? Well, we totally stage-doored again tonight! LULZ starfuckers.
"We're such groupies!"
All ten of us waited by the stage door, and we got our pictures with all the cast members. I also got another picture with myself and Felix XD I swear, I was totally chickening out again, but instead of just Micmac pushing me, there were now nine of y'allz egging me on! I'm pretty sure I was blushing the whole time =)) But everyone was really sweet, they greeted me happy birthday and signed my program. Thanks for helping me out, Jam! And now you have a pen that's been touched by all the members of Avenue Q!
I treated the gang to Starbucks (so that I could get another ten stickers, LOL @ ulterior motives), and then we went on the ROOOOAD TRIP! back home. When we dropped off Kat, Micmac jumped out of the van and told us all that the sky was so amazing to look at right then, so we all stood in the middle of the road, looking up at the stars. "Right now, we look like a scene out of an indie film." Loved it. ♥
Looking through Jam's album of people's grad pics made me feel a little sad about not getting to experience that whole thing, grad pic exchanges, prom night, grad ball, and an actual graduation ceremony, since I skipped fourth year and all. Everything comes with a price, I suppose. Still, I'm glad I get to live vicariously through you guys. :)
We got lost more than once on the way home, though luckily not too far off-track. As it turns out, the driver, Jonas, isn't used to driving people within the city, because he usually takes care of transporting American expats and soldiers between provinces. Nag-bonding kami on the way home, ahahaha =)) He married his high school sweetheart, awww. They've been together since they were 15, and now in their late twenties they still love each other, which I think is really great. BTW, Micmac, the trance music CD you were asking about was a gift to him from his friend, who's a DJ at Eastwood. :D
And then I went home, and I was smiling the whole time. Man, do I feel special. ♥
Jam, Miggy, Micmac, Sam, Vicky, Sophie, Franmama, Kalalz and Kat, thank you all so much for making this my best birthday ever. Y'all made me feel like Elle Woods in the "Omigod You Guys" number, all happy and wide-eyed and "love is like forever, this is no time to economize!"
Omigod you guys, I love you all! *glomp*
ETA: Avenue Q is still running until December 23, so order your tickets now!ETA 2: Peechurs at Micmac's Multiply!
