Challenge: Audition!

For the longest time, I have wanted to be part of an Indie film. Ok so, once upon a time, I did want to be an actress. LOL! So anyway, I figured being in an Indie film would fulfill my dream of being an actress while not really putting myself out there in the open to be criticized and all. So when I say the Open Casting Call for a Visayan Indie Film in Multiply, I was very ecstatic. I was dismayed, however, upon learning that they needed males and gays for all the part. AMF! Then again I saw this role... ALLYSON Transvestite, 25-28 years old (he is 33 years old in the film but should look younger than his age), with boobs Before you start wondering... I am not a transvestite. But I am 25 years old and *ehem*I DO HAVE BOOBIES!*ehem* So, yeah, on February 22, 2008, I am going to audition for "The 'Thank You' Girls." I am not proud to say that I have been pestering Yam about it.

The Big Boss from Manila was arriving and they all had to make a good impression. Otherwise, Big Boss would maybe think of closing down their office. Bella was a receptionist. When Bella arrived home, she was too tired to eat, so she watched some television shows, drank a glass of milk, and slept. She received a call but didn't answer it. It was Troy, the geeky IT guy in the office. He was obviously madly in love with her. At least once a day, when she would take her break, Troy would put something on her desk. Sometimes it would be a flower, other times, something to snack on. But he never approached Bella. He would send her SMS, call her on the phone, but he never talked to her. Initially, Bella thought he was kinda cute, and endearing. But he started getting pesky and annoying. Bella slept with thoughts of how annoying Troy is. The next day, Bella woke up very early. She…

To Marbel and Back

Saturday morning, I slept past 2 am and woke up at 4 am. I had to be at McDo MTS before 5 am. So after taking a bath, with barely enough sleep, and carrying my laptop, I walked from my house to McDonald's. When I arrived there, I ordered and ate my breakfast. While I was eating, Councilor Laviña arrived. And a little after 5 am, Mikko also arrived, and we left right away. We arrived in Marbel (now known as Koronadal City) in a record time of under three hours. I heard that normally it would take at least 3 1/2 hours. Councilor Laviña and Mikko Gozalo We went to Koronadal to attend the Blogging Seminar at the Notre Dame of Marbel University (NDMU). In the morning, Councilor Laviña and several speakers talked about blogging and participatory governance, and other socio-economic-political issues that Mindanao Bloggers should be aware of.
