Dogeaters? Hey, we'd eat almost anything, really...

Quick thoughts on the Dogeaters play:

- The way the actors delivered their lines seemed forced, it sounded... unwieldy, if that makes sense. But then again, it was their first night.

- Standout performances by Chari Arespacochaga, Joel Torre, Gina Alajar and Jon Santos.

- Well, I didn't expect that Dogeaters would be a novel that would exactly be performed as is. The book's story wasn't told in a linear way. As Sir Charlson Ong (who I sat beside in the theater) said, it was more of a pastiche kind of thing.

- Need to finish the book.

- The language was easy to understand, yes. As I was reading the taglish and the coño English, I could easily imagine the characters saying it with a flourish. On stage, not so. (Again, first night perhaps...)

- You'd get the play if you were aware of the book, of course. Otherwise, you'd be lost in it. So, I'd suggest reading the book first before watching the play.

I should be sleeping...

... because I walked for a good 15 minutes to get to the shuttle station for the ride home.

... because I have to go to the second Write or Die workshop in Powerbooks Trinoma in 11 hours.

... because I'm bleeding and... I'm not entirely sure that it's my period (I've been irregular for some years now. It's connected to my weight, I'm pretty sure of it. But... it hurts.) I apologize to the males who happen to read this.

... because I want nothing more than to go to sleep on a rainy night with my blanket over my head.


But I'm not. Instead, I'm wracking my brains on how to write the article about the Dogeaters play. Also, the Sarah application for Poly. Oh, and don't forget tweaking about with Photoshop... and iconses!

... hot milk tea sounds right just about now...
