I WAS EXCITED OF TWO THINGS

Yesterday- I was so excited of TWO things.

First, I met my bestfriend.

Although it was hard to wake up early in the morning, I have manged to do so for one special reason that today i will meet one of my special friends Richard whom i have not seen the entire 6 months. I felt guilty whenever they will demand to see my company and i could not come because of a busy schedule in school. That's why, when Richard texted the night before saturday, i comitted! Yes, i missed my friends a lot especially that we have a special relationship together. We have dreams we want to achive and we have set common interests. So much for that, i groomed hurriedly seeing i am late for a commitment of 3:00pm, well, Richard used to it. I arrived at the mall in a 10mins travel. Gaisanao Mall in Davao City is one of our favorite hangouts because it is near to ours and theirs school (SPC and Ateneo). We met at the 3rd Floor which they call Spazio. Everyone noticed the excitement we feel to see each other because we almost shouted. It's like how many years we separate from each other. Well, Richard changed a lot physically. He is thin but i noticed he gets thinner. Maybe because of the course he took up which is nursing, this course requires a lot of really WORK aside from STUDY and DUTY!! Well, after which, we strolled around the mall and we decided to eat at DIMSUm DINER! We have a lot of fun together at the mall. In as much as i loved to stay with him more but i have to excuse myself for another apointment which leads to my second reason of excitement.

Second, I seen BABAYI(woman)

I am always fascinated to see or play a role in a theater show. The President of my org TEATRONG ATENISTA, Ate Ching Ocon invited me over to watch their play entitled BABAYI which showed at Mini Cap Auditorium 6:00pm. That's why, i decided to watch. Babayi is a cebuano term for WOMAN. The play is a satiric and comdeic presentation about the portrayal of women in the society. It is a theatric presentation of the compilation of songs, poem and monologues on women arranged by Mr. Nonoy Narciso who is also the Director. One of the fascinating elements of the play is the live playying of ethnic background music throughout the duration of the play. Also, the actors and actresses of the play is nontheless excellent in the role they portrayed. The play shows strong emotions and captured my feeling being a feminist activist. It shows the reality of women's image in a dramatic and sometimes comical way. It made me realized the different pains ang sufferings of being branded as a woman in the society. I realized...IF IT IS HARD TO BECOME A GAY! HOW MUCH MORE BEING A WOMAN WHOM WE LIKE TO BECOME! Well, culture as it may seem, but for me, let usa not just be deaf an d mute of this culture that decimates our being human. Let us break this culture of heirachy before man dominates world!

I finished my day a lot of lesson learned. Hope you learned something!
