duyan ng kagitingan is finally in the bag. :) a term of hardships, rehearsals, pressure, and patience has finally paid off. we staged the production on august 24 (6pm) and 25 (8pm). :) there are no words to explain how happy and honored i am to actually be part of the production. :) everything was so action packed - from the prologue to the epilogue of the play. :) the audience were always on the lookout for the fight scenes. :) no words can explain the beauty of our costumes, make-up, and of course, the lights. :) everything just meshed so well... :) it was, in a weird way, perfect in its own imperfection. :) did i just make any sense? :) hahaha :)

of course there were times we stumbled over our lines, had mental black, and made mistakes with our blockings... but it is nonetheless one of the greatest plays ever staged :) then again, i'm biased :) hahaha :)
it was also nice to see friends and family gather around to watch our production. :) we had a "full house" on the 24th and nothing would explain the nervousness yet excitement and happiness we all felt inside :) then came the open forum.. our play was part of ccp's "waiting in the wings" program... a lot of people commented on our play - from the fight scenes to the arnis usage to the indigenous filipino plot :)
in short, i just really feel fulfilled. :) plus the fact that most, if not all, of us who stood hand-in-hand to make this production possible were students of the De La Salle- College of Saint Benilde :)

it was really cool working with people from different year levels and courses... we all had our own areas of expertise but like magic, we all hit it off quite well :)
another production accomplished. :) hopefully, many more to come :)
