english speeeeets

wa English elocution thingy yesterday. Tapos rar. grabe as in nangangatog ako. before, during and after my turn. o_x.

ang sheet super. Like grabe. Actually, i wasn't scared at all the day before or the day mismo. Like buong morning i wasn't really that worried. Tapos biglang nung lumabas na kami from the comsci room (which is the subject right before english), sobrang i started shaking. @_@ like sobraaaa. And then edi umakyat na kami ni Diane to change costumes. I wore a trench coat. XD hahaha walalang :| And thennn ayun so we went up na. Tapos Ma'am Bernal was there na. Tapos i was shaking even more.

Tapos yun nauna si Sammeh. <3 GO SAM!!! x infinity. speech nya ay "welcome to my life" -- ANGST! =)) hahahaha :)) aw <3
next si Joed. di ko maxado napanood kasi i left my safety pin sa CR sa baba. So i had to get it back. Kasi super kilangan ko cya. pero i bet he did well din. same speech sila ni Courtney!<3 haha
and then si Uga. haha magaling si Uga basta graded. :| since graded to.. well yeah galing. :D
after Uga was Elkan. haha speech nya yung opening song ng Pokemon. =)))))) hahahaha idol elkan. |m/ :)))) may props na pokemon pa :))))
then si Pate. what do you expect naman from Sita dba? sorry na actress kasi :)) super i was whoa-ed grabe. Like Franco's din. Nakaka-whoa. Her speech wa about a girl na like hinuli tas like may pinipigang information from her pero she wouldn't break. Tapos rarape-in na cya and all pero wala pa rin. Super bow down. <3
then si Marielle. my co-lesbian speech-er :)) haha she di great din grabe. Haha feeling ko lahat sila magaling. :D and then ayun nga as said, lesbian din yung speech nya. Pero cya nauna sa lesbian thing.
then nung si Riscia na, super kinakabahan cya. Like she was hanving a good start, pero twice cya umulit. Like nakalimutan lines from stage fright i guess. So nagvolunteer ako to go muna.

And now i'm going to tell the story of how i got my elocution piece X)

Kasi it was like thisss. I found a very nice poem about a courtesan. pero it was super longggg. So i went to Ma'am Bernal if may masusuggest cya na nice piece for me. And then pinasearch niya sakin yung speech ni Portia, yung wife ni Brutus (from Shakespeare's Julis Caesar) tapos habang riniresearch ko cya, may lumabas na ibang Portia speech. Now from the Merchant of Venice. Title is "The quality of mercy" and I've heared it a lot na. So binasa ko. Then i thought mas maganda cya sa first portia speech. So i asked Ma'am if pwede yun nalang. then she was like okay that good. Tapos nung tuesday, i found out na Cat was doing one pala from V for Vendetta. Yung speech na puro words starting with V. haha ang cool grabe. Pero i got an idea from that and nung gabi nagsearch ulit ako. Tapos i found valerie's letter (the letter natalie Portman found when she was inside her cell). And then ayun. Even though sobrang haba nya. Like 5 minutes, nagustuhan ko cya super and i thought mas malalgyan ko cya ng emotions. so yun nalang pinili ko. XD

And thats why Ma'am Bernal looked surprised when i introduced my piece. Kasi akala niya iba. :)) anyway.. ayun and then WAAA sobrang. my bosy was shaking the whole time. Like nakita ko yung hands ko and pinipigilan ko na pero hindi kaya. :|

pero i'm glad it's done. and grabe sa sobrang takot ko like pati voice ko nagbabago na rin. which was good, added up to the effect. =)) then when i went down the stage na. Sobrang nabangag ako. like dang. tapos na. and then Ma'am hugged me. @_@

haha. :))

so these are ilan sa mga favorite lines ko from my speech. :) for walalang. :))

• "I know there's no way I can convince you this is not one of their tricks, but I don't care. I am me. My name is Valerie. ... This is the only autobiography that I will ever write and God, I'm writing it on toilet paper"
• "I saw her wrists." *I bite my lip* "Her wrists were beautiful"
• "But I'd only told them the truth.. Was that so selfish? Our intergrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch we are free"
• "The first time we kissed I knew I never wanted to kiss any other lips but hers again.."
• "I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile, and it is the only thing in this world worth having."
• "But what I hope most of all, is that you understand what I mean when I say that, even though I do not know you, even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you."

And now, weee i just ate 3 pinipig ice creams. :))
