Hair Experiment Day 18

Ashley and me at the Mind Museum, Taguig.

  Water.

  I now have to wash my hair with just water for a full month. Tuesday was the first day in this part of the 'no shampoo process'. It's kind of hard for those of us who don't have a shower in the bathroom because you really have to massage your scalp if you don't want the smell of sweat to stick. Especialy for us who take a bath after dance class... My scalp feels a little itchy but I read from Our Little Apartment that you can add tea tree oil. Experiment time!

  I'm really trying to live healthier. It's actually very fun and rewarding! It makes me happy to know that I am healthy and well because of my choices and discipline. It's very empowering. Kind of cheesy maybe, but it's really how I feel. And it feels great!

The Mind Museum. One of my fave parts of our trip.

  I get most of my organic fru-fru, like bodywash, from Human Nature. So glad that the Abreeza branch of Healthy Options has finally opened, Yogi tea is now more accessible, LoL ^_^ Puentespina Orchids in Agdao is also a great place to buy organic eggs, cheese, and the likes. They'r products are locally grown/made so that's plus points for me <3

  Contrary to her comment on my first post of this experiment, my mom did not join me in my adventure. I think she's satisfied with the not-so-chemically-infused shampoo in Human Nature.

About one week after quitting shampoo.
No difference, if you ask me.

  Ta-ta for now, as Tigger would say, I'm excited to try out the tea tree oil! DO NOT hesitate to leave me a message on Facebook, send me a tweet, ask me on Tumblr, or leave a comment here :D

...a wonderful 4 months

  Early bird again. I arrived at around 4:50 yesterday afternoon. The props from the other day's show had already been cleared and replaced with tables and chairs for the little kids in Ballet 1.

  While fixing my stuff Ate Delphine poked her head through the door way of the dressing room to say bye. I was the only one there and I said goodbye too. She, Ate Georgette, Ate Gaye, and Teacher Agnes left for Manila to stage Puno at the PETA-Phinma Theater.

  I didn't notice the picture on the mirror until later;

And the note...

  It was the fuss of the dressing room when my classmates arrived...

  Ate Delphine, 

You were a great theater teacher and I really enjoyed your classes. 

Hope you can come back next year to teach again! 

Thank you for the wonderful 4 months ^_^

XOXOX

... falling into place

My sister's Chucks.

  I missed voice class yesterday. Ashley had Violin lessons at home and we didn't pay much attention to the time while chatting with her teacher... At least I wasn't late for Tap. There were some new steps, which makes me a little unsure about stopping for a month...


  Ate Delphine came into Tap a little while through the beginning. I was both surprised and happy to see her. 

  {Serendipity again!}

  I told her about my going to Manila for the Hip Hop Shakespeare Workshop and we started talking about theater :) 


  Every thing seems to be falling into place!


  I really love theater. Maybe I should concentrate on that instead... 


  A lot of dancers who are in Broadway are saying that voice lessons are useful. Guess I'm on the right track...


  I'm really happy I went to the workshop... New doors open :)


  Saw another poster of Encantada outside the Philippine Women's College.

Missing PETA :'(

Brunch at UP DIliman

    Before heading to PETA for the workshop the other day, Lola Bengay, with whom we stayed with for the duration of the workshop, took us around the UP Diliman campus. There's this jinx going around the school that if you take a photo with the Oblation {the statue} before you graduate, you wont graduate in time...

  BUT! Since, Lola Bengay and Mom said, I havn't enrolled yet {and am not even in collage} the jinx does not apply :P



  UP is the largest campus I have ever been to. When I visited the Ateneo Collage here in Davao, I was already awed but, goodness! UP Diliman has a highway!!! #FirstTime ^_^ LoL. Another interesting thing that Mom couldn't get over with was the jeep. Instead of street names on their routes, there were the names of the buildings in the campus :) The one we rode passed by the Math and Registrar building and something else too that I forgot...

  We ate 'student food' brunch at Rodic's. I quit my no pork diet :P

Last Day of Workshop

Last Day of Workshop

  Came home from Manila this morning. The performance last night went smoothly except for my mistake with one of my entrances and a delay with the lights and music.

  We were divided into five groups and each were asked to create a play {or something} loosely based  on A Midsummer Night's Dream. My group's was the longest performance. We included singing, a little dancing, and of course rap as well as spoken dialogue in our presentation.

  Before all our performances started, though, Akala asked the audience to participate in a game of 'Shakespeare'. He'd recite a line and the audience would vote if it was from a Rap/ Hip Hop song or from one of Shakespeare's works {This was an exercise of ours during the workshop, only we would have to perform the lines}. He also performed a rap of one of Shakespeare's Sonnets {The one that begins with Shall I compare thee to a summer's day}.

Here, Akala talks about The Hip Hop Shakespeare Company, plays the 'Shakespeare' game, and raps Sonnet 18.

  Ballet Tomorrow...

Shakespeare Workshop :)

  Whew! Finally figured out while all my pics disappeared. Don't delete pics from Google +! I'm sorry if other posts havn't been edited yet. It takes a lot of time, you see :) I also changed the photos of a lot of the posts because I couldn't find or remember the original pics that were in them :( You might wanna check them out for that :)

  So anyway, I'm joining the Hip Hop Shakespeare Workshop in Manila. I'm leaving for the airport around lunchtime. By the time your reading this, I'll probably already be on the plane ^_^ 

  I hope it's a good workshop. I read in the outline that the participants will be asked to compose a song or poem at the end of it. I'm nervous for that part... I hope they'll consider an original choreography to one of Shakespeare's Sonnets :)

  Just finished reading King Lear yesterday. It is tragic, I mean, although the "bad guys" all die in the end, everyone you care for while reading the book die too! Only the young guys live. But because their loved ones were taken away from them, their present view of life is

"... we that are young/ Shall never see so much nor live so long"

  I don't want to end my post on a sad note so I'll just mention that I hope to buy new ballet shoes in Thats D' Pointe dance shop and that Mum wants to visit the museums ^_^
