Deer!!!!!


Being a deer as role is a disaster and exhausting work especially when you are looking and making for your costume and being carried by your classmate, actually I'm really shy when Mikah carried me on her right shoulder during the play and of course during the practices but of course for the sake of our play to be successful, I did it even though I am shy and another thing that cause me to be shy, is my costume because I am only wearing leotards and tights with brown spots and horns or what you may call that thing......... But in the end I was happy because we won and I can say that I really contributed a lot as a deer!!! YEHEY!!! :D

Playbill for our CAF Play!!!


Playbill for our CAF Play!!!
After our class in CLE and it was a Friday, we are all cramping because it was the day when all the programs, posters and playbills are going to be gathered for the contest on Monday so all of us who were concerned about helping our classmates and class adviser in making those posters, playbills and programs, we went to the ITCC where we are doing those things and so I helped but when there’s 10 minutes left only from the time of the submission, Aurora and Bettina asked me if I can get them some dried leaves around the playground downstairs and so I said yes and I also asked Alex if she can go with me to get some of those dried leaves but unfortunately it rained so almost all of the dried leaves are wet and we can’t use them for decoration if they are wet and so we gathered only few of those dried leaves and then we went again up stairs to give them those dried leaves and so when they saw those leaves they said that it was only few and they asked id I can gather more nut I insist because the leaves left there were all wet and so she asked me if I can do our play bill for our CAF play and so I said, I only have 5 minutes to do this work, what are you expecting me to do to rush and you’ll just tell me to make it beautiful? You must be kidding, right? Okay fine!! “ So I did in a hurry that playbill and just tore most of those leaves and just made them to serve as borders and I just put 3 big and good- looking leaves in the corner of that cartolina and then I asked Mrs. Pasaporte, if she can print me a bigger program to paste on the cartolina as the playbill, so she printed me one but this time bigger than the program and so I paste it and find some decorations and paste it also to the cartolina and so after I’d finished that playbill they now asked me if I can pass it to the High School Growth Community and so I rushed because it was passed 10 minutes by the time of the submission so I asked Mrs. Sardua if I can pass and she asked me if why did I pass it late and she said did you work alone and I said “ Yes, Ms.” And she accepted it.

Jars!!!



December 1, 2010, we have a class with Mr. Guintivano and he arrived in our classroom seeing us in Indian position doing paper flowers for our props in both CAE and CAF so when he noticed that we have a difficult time doing those paper flowers, he taught us an easier way in doing the paper flowers much easier and to look more like a flower with petals in obvious. So when I am I the middle of doing those paper flowers in different colors, I remembered that I am suppose to make some jars for Lord Indra’s kingdom for our CAE play ( Indra is the God of India ) and so I am roaming around looking for a jar that will serve as our base in making a paper machete for the jars and so I went to the classroom of St. Elizabeth for me to ask if I can borrow their jar to serve as the base foe our jar and their directress told me that their jar was brought already to the home of the owner of that jar and I ask them if I can borrow their paper machete of a jar also and they said its not with them also so I asked Jessica Cuello if I can borrow their mineral water container with that long neck and she said they also borrowed it to a water drinking station owned by Isabella Villlanueva so I thanked her for the time and so I am still looking for a jar / jars for us to use as props during our CAE play for lord Indra’s kingdom but when I went up the stairs to go to the HS AVR I saw Isabella Villanueva and I said hi but fortunately she said she can lend me those 3 mineral container of hers and I thanked her and I am so happy so I immediately brought those 3 mineral containers down stairs in our classroom to be in order to be covered by newspapers with a Zoy as our glue and so we made it with my other classmates helping me and so when the jars are dried already we painted them immediately with a mahogany in color paint but it was supposed to be gold in color but unfortunately, we only have that mahogany color paint because our class fund was not enough to buy again another paint because of so many props we also bought, so we decide to just paint them with mahogany in color paint anyway they are just props.

TATOY's MANOKAN AND SEA FOOS RESTAURANT PRACTICE???



It was a holiday, when our directresses in both CAE and CAF agreed that we will practice at TATOY’S RESTAURANT and Heloisa agreed also that we can practice there and eat our lunch there with discount and I told them I am not sure if my parents would allow me to go and practice there and then at first my parents didn’t agree because it is far from our home good only if it is only in school but it’s in TATOY’S but I told them that the attendance would be checked and we will make some of our props and the other materials are with me so they allowed me in the end but I was panicking because Princess said that she will fetch me and the dormers at school at exactly 8:00 but I arrived there at about 8:15 already so I got nervous and about to go home because when I arrived there, there’s no signs of second year learner there but good thing is that I saw Aurora’s car and I saw her so I went back again to the information to talk with her why did they arrive late and I really thought that they left me and then when I asked her where is Princess she said that Princess is still on her way here in school so when I heard it, I was like going to be a crazy woman because of what I heard and what I thought that they left me alone at the school going to Tatoy’s to practice. But it’s good that Auwie and Jamielyn were there and I have companions there while we are waiting for Princess to fetch us with the other dormers. After a few minutes, Princess arrived and she fetch us with her sister by their car going to tatoy’s but before going there we need first to fetch Hannah because the props for the play are with her because she is our props manager in CAF, so we went to her house in Imperial 3 Mandurriao and then we moved our props to Princess’ car and then we rode going to Tatoy’s then when we arrived there we immediately proceeded to one of the buildings there where special occasions were celebrated and there we moved our props to that building and then we set are things there but unfortunately and unexpectedly they are just opening their facebook accounts and just doing things on their laptops but some of them are doing the programs for the CAE and CAF play and just few are practicing their lines but we focused on the warriors of Florante, Osmalik and Miramolin for us to get the best in choreography and hours have passed and they can’t wait to eat our lunch, they decided to go to Atrium in Villa to buy some drinks and foods and one by one we went to Villa’s Atrium then after we go back again to Tatoy’s and one funny thing when we were riding on a jeep going to Tatoy’s again so excitedly Yzabel thought that we are already in Tatoy’s and we will g down the jeep and so she shouted “ Sa lugar lang manong!!” and Aurora second the motion and then I said “ Wala pa manong ah layo pa gani sng Tatoy’s, sign board lang na nakita niyo mo nga pangalan sng Tatoy’s!!! Hehehheheheh!! :D “ and then they all laughed with the passengers also laughing with our mistake actually Yzabel’s and Aurora’s but then the driver got confused and drove again so we all laughed and then I said “ Ari na ta ho sa Tatoy’s, amo ni ya ang tuod nga Tatoy’s Hehehehh!!” so we went down the jeep and talked about that mistake of thinking that the sign board says that Tatoy’s Restaurant is located there!!!! So we went inside the building where we are practicing and the staffs of the restaurant are preparing our table where we are going to eat and then when the foods are ready we sat together at the table, we prayed first and then we passed the food around to everybody and ate, In the middle of our lunch probably they noticed that I eat so fast and much so they teased me that maybe I will become and fat and because of that they are putting their rice on my plate and they are cheering me like “ Go Rhosebhet, You can do it!!!!” And by the time that they are full already they left the table leaving me there alone still eating and when the granddaughter of the owner of the Tatoy’s Restaurant saw that there are many left-overs so she said “ Kanugon man ni sang mga pagkaon man!!! Rhosebhet, dal-a na lang nib ala kay kadamo gid ya sng bilin kanugon sang kwarta nga gin bayad niyo!! “ but I said to her. “ Sa staff niyo dib a la, padala lang sa ila!! “ but she insist so she packed it for me and I said to her “ Kadamo gid ya ang iban kat Yzabel na lang kag Krizzianne para makadala man sila!! “ So Yzabel and Krizzianne also packed and the three of us thanked Heloisa and the staff . So we went on with our practices and whatever things and about 2:30pm they decide to take pictures with different positions and emotions, all of us!!! IT WAS FUN!! Then after that we packed our things up ready to go to Heloisa’s house first to moved again our props there and then me, Princess and the dormers decided to go home ahead of them because we all need to go home already because we have our own appointments and so we rode with Princess’ car going to SM City because Princess need to go there and so she just dropped us there and we( Jamielyn and me ) rode the jeep going to Assumption-Iloilo and so we went home and there our practiced ended.

Mastery Test 1in Statistics!!



It was the day of our mastery test in Statistics and that day was a disaster because we took three mastery tests and those subjects are so difficult namely, Social Studies, Math and Statistics!!.... Social Studies was a success because it was the first mastery test that we took and my mind was fresh still in that time and the result was really good I got a perfect score. But when Math took place I was like rushing to answer the questions and it was really hard because I got confused by the numbers and I forgot some of the formulas and so I can’t remember how to answer some of the items just a guess and unfortunately, I didn’t finish the Mastery Test but Ms. Layson said that it is okay not to finish everything just what we can answer. But the worst thing is that my Statistics Mastery Test 1 score was really a disaster and I was about to cry that time because probably of that sick score and got mixed with me exhausted body because of play practices so I hate myself that really time because I was like mental block out and I can’t really remember almost all the lessons good thing that I can remember some and still I got s score more than the passing score but it was really not okay for me!!! IT WAS A DISASTER!! I got mixed up the math and statistics lessons so I also got confused again……… I WILL REALLY MAKE IT UP DURING THE 2ND MASTERY TEST IN STATISTICS AND MATH!!!!

CAE Play Awarding!!



After we ate our lunch with special foods from Tatoy’s Restaurant, we proceeded to the St. Anne’s hall for the awarding of the CAE best plays. So we went again to the mezzanine as our station, we are also filled with nervous and excitement and also all of us almost lose hope and confidence that we will win as the best play this time in our CAE play and so the CAE teachers started the announcing of the winners but now they are announcing all the prizes for the first year and to the rest except the best directresses and best plays so we were tensed because we really thought that it could be either Anastasia or Esther of the other sections who will win because as if almost all of their actresses won and just few from us BUT… when the major awards were announced the St. Anne gathered all the prizes for the major awards except for the best script and so we gained a little hope that we can win as the best play in CAE!! Our directresses also won as the best directresses among the three sections of the second year. And then here it comes, THE BEST PLAY GOES TO>>>>>!!!! I was crossing my two fingers and whispering there with myself that we can win and so------AHHHHHHH!!! SAINT ANNE SHAKUNTALA!!! WE WON!!!! YEHEY!!!! HEHEHE!!! :D And so we actually won that w actually don’t expect!!!!

CAF Play Awarding!!



After our swimming class, we excitedly as well as nervously speed up going to our classroom to prepare ourselves for the awarding and to line-up going to the St. Anne’s Hall. All of us are almost going to lose hope of winning the best play of Florante and Laura among the second year because we believed that the Year 2 St. Elizabeth will win because we saw their play and we were amaze because of the acting performance of some of their characters and the way they carry themselves. When we arrived there we immediately went up the mezzanine where our station was, when the awarding ceremony starts our directress beside me is already sweating because of nervous even the St. Anne’s was air-conditioned and I also admit that I am also like going to faint or something because it’s a big thing to us especially this where our Periodical scores or grades will be taken and after all the exhausting practices and shopping of our props downtown just walking, it’s really a big thing for us to won and so we are in that kind of reaction, emotion, situation or whatever….!! First the CAF teachers announced first the best actress in female and male roles and etc. by year level and then the major awards like best in technical effects, costume, script and etc… then the best directress and by this time I was really shocked because I was not expecting to win as the assistant directress of Princess and also Jesselle, we didn’t really expect that we will be recognize as the best directresses and also we won as the best script among the three sections and we claimed the prize and certificate with us all the scriptwriters like Mandee, Me, Princess. Jesselle, Auwie and a lot more……. But the most important thing is the best play after the first year, the I said to myself,” Oh, MY GOSH!!!!” I felt that I am going to burst and then I shouted as my normal reaction------------ WE WON!!!!!!!!! HUH?? DID WE REALLY WIN???? HEHEHE!!! And the when I was about to stand up, the three of us the directresses, Sr. Paz told us St. Anne, I think you don’t deserve this, you will just get your prize here after the 4th year and so St. Anne became quiet when they heard Sr. Paz said that but still we are happy that we won!! YEHEY!! WE DID IT!!!

Florante At Laura!!


November 30, 2010, Early morning after our short morning praise, we started to prepare ourselves for the play in CAF after the section of Catherine because we picked the second part of the story of Franciso Balagtas which is the Florante at Laura. Early morning all of us felt nervous but also excited to perform especially to those who have roles, everyone is busy in changing their clothes, putting on their make-ups, making our props and starting to move them to the St. Anne’s Hall to be ready to use, buying Cartolinas and pins in the bookstore, styling their hairs and many more, even me I am busy changing my clothes and putting on make-ups that would fit to me as one of the “ tsismosas” during the time of Florante at Laura. One funny thing that I realized while I am changing my clothes into a ruffled white dress and when I looked on the mirror, I laughed at myself because I looked like an old woman but I don’t have a choice but to wear it because it is already our final play and I don’t have enough time to change and look for another dress, I am thinking, why are we going to wear gowns as “tismosas” during the time of Florante at Laura? Uhmmmm… I realized that instead of wearing those gowns we should wear “ Dasters” or “ Bestidas “. Before our play starts, we agreed that before starting the two plays, we must pray first and do some tension exercises in order for us not to panic backstage which is the major reason why some plays fail to win because of panic and being absent- minded but we do some exercise to lessen or overcome those tensions in ourselves. After a half hour, it is now our turn to perform , everyone is cooperating and calm when we went in all of us carried all our props and helped moving them, then we started to perform and so scenes went through smoothly but also there are times when they skip some of the characters’ lines and sometimes they don’t know where to exit and enter and also what to do but then thank you to CHRISTIE SALDANA who really worked hard to be as funny as she could as Menandro, the best friend/ classmate/ like brother and etc……, she pulled some of my classmates’ mistakes. Our Florante and Laura have the chemistry so they are comfortable to each other and they act together very well. When it is the time we need to go out as the “ tsimosas “ I really heard many people who were shocked because they can’t believe that I was one of those “ tsimosas “ and I heard that they can’t recognize me as Rhosebhet especially the 3rd year learners and I asked myself, Is my make-up that really thick and ugly? “ Hehehheheh!! I laughed at myself just in my mind!! And then when we are about to end Florante must be captured and tied in the tree by the soldiers of Adolfo, unfortunately, the curtains didn’t close and also the lights on the right wing ( actor’s point of view ) and another is that no one was about to captured Florante so Angela and Justine take into Action in order to fill up supposed to be the dead scene because the soldiers who were supposed to capture Florante forgot to capture him so the two of them take into action and they were like tornados roaming around the stage and also our Florante probably because they don’t expect it to happen but still they coped up and the scene goes on and then after Florante’s monologue, that is the signal where we end our performance and it was successful and again we shouted because of happiness. We are very thankful to our beloved directress who is really following up the characters and the crew about the progress of our play. And we are really proud of her!!! THANK YOU, PRINCESS!!!

Shakuntala!!


December 2, 2010 before lunch we performed our play which is Shakuntala!! before that we are so excited as well as nervous because we realized that after all of our practices and props making, preparing all the things needed during the play, we are now going to paerform it with all our gbest and seriously. At about 8:00 after our short morning praise, we lined-up outside our classrooms and we proceeded to theSt. Anne's Hall to watch the play of St. Catherine which s Anastasia and even not reaching the middle part, we all vacated and went to our classroom to prepare ourselves for our play after the St. Catherine, so all of us are crowded there inside the classrooms changing our clothes and putting our make-ups on our faces and others are carrying the props tothe St. Anne's Hall in order for us not to panic if it is our turn already so we are carrying the props one by one. Then after, plays of the St. Catherine and Elizabeth we went to the GAllery beside the ST. Anne's Hall to pray first there and have some Tension excercises in order for us not to be so tense when it is already our turn........ Finally, we went inside to prepare our props and the settings while our actresses are rehearsing their lines inside the Dressing room. Then, after 3-5 minutes we started our play and the dancers danced but unfortunately, some of them are laughing as if it is a joke dancing during our play so we are very disappointed because of that but still the show must go on. Then, we proceeded to the other scenes until tghe love dance started and by the time when they went inside the hut, the careless whisper song started to play and the hut was shaking violently and so I was shocked because I never thought about it so I just laughed backstage wearing my ridiculous outfit as a deer... adn then I was roaming around going back and forth, arranging and moving the props and then going up,where the backdrops are located, waiting to shower on the pieces of crepe papers for the wedding scene but before that I act first as a thin and small deer carried by Dushyanta played by Mikad Trabajo and when she went out the stage they were like shouting " Woah " as if they were shocked because Mikah is carrying me that time but I didn't mind them and still I played dead without moving up the stage like a dead statue. Near the ending, the family of Shakuntala that was played by Angela Gorriceta, were like celebrating after all her son finally met his father and they lived happily together and they organized a celebration where in some of the minor characters went out the stage just to eat lechon baboy and manok and act as if they were part of the scene. After that, our play ended successfully and because of happiness we shouted back stage and finally have the curtain call where all of us danced as we were introduced by Karla Oteda with the song Jaiho!!! Yehey!!!! We made it and after that the guest schools asked us if they can take a picture with us and so we smiled and said cheese!!!! WELL DONE ST. ANNE!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!! CONGRATS!!!!! HEHEHEHE!!! :D
