Friday the 13th

I usually get the lucky friday the 13th's but I guess 2008 just wants to make it more harder for me.

Hmmm... as you know (well, if you're reading my blog entries), I was looking forward to yesterday. Why? I have tickets to my much-awaited Avenue Q. I was suuuuuper excited and didn't actually care to shell out P1,100 just spending the time watching puppets make people realize of our grim reality.

So, it was the perfect cure for the week's ugly events.

I think Claire influenced me so much on writing that I eventually see the actual events as a story. When I got to UP, I wasted P9 on a jeepney ride going home because my mom and dad didn't have their keys with them. When I was in SC, they texted that I should go home anymore and go back to my meeting with the SIKAP people. When I went back Claire, Aizza and Exi were already gone. Pfft.

But still, I was still in a particularly good mood. Avenue Q will save me from this depression.

We started getting ready and went out at 7:30 pm thinking that Meralco Theatre was really really near from our home. When we got there, my sister's friend (the one with our tickets) texted that the play was showing in RCBC plaza.

Makati! SHit! We were already late. I mean we were on time when we got to Meralco Theatre but Makati is far from Ortigas. We couldn't possible make it in 10mins or less.

Apparently there was a misunderstanding between the two (my sister and her friend). Her friend probably joked about Meralco Theatre or my sister probably wasn't paying attention. But all in all, they didn't really talk about it.

So before we got to RCBC palaza, Makati being so traffic-controlled. There were no left turns and u-turns, so we had to figure out a way to get to the other side. Which took more time than speeding to Meralco Theatre to Makati via C-5.

Oh. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!

Anyways, end of the story we got to see the half of the play. I didn't get to see the parts were I really liked the songs like 'Everybody's a little racist' and 'If you were gay'. Damn.

And my sister kept on bugging me to atleast smile since we got to the play anyways. But for me, I can't smile. I mean come on! I've been waiting to watch the play for months. I've beem daydreaming about it. I shelled out good money just to see it. Who could smile?

Her friend thinks I'm mad. Well, I was at first. But she apologized and I said it was ok. What can we do? There was nothing we can do. But my sister insisted I smile at least. And I finally made it clear that I was not mad, I was just unhappy.

When I look back on watching the play and realizing it was already half of the show we've missed, I was thinking to myself... I wished I could've just stayed home, kept the money and worked on my thesis.

I wanted to see the whole play. Even thinking on buying tickets again. But pfft. Why bother shelling out P1,100 again. I mean, it's not like money grows in trees in our house. I mean recently, we just had our family talk about conserving our money since we don't have enough left.

Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.

So basically, no happy ending for my sad, miserable, depressing week.
