a quick update

just a quick update on the innings and outings of my lifehood....

• i'm finally back to the earners circuit again. tomorrow is going to be my third day of working at elan data makers. speed and accuracy is name of the game...and you're free to listen to your ipod while working. word.
  
  
• i'm getting really habituated into busing and long walks in the morning. it's going to be my daily exercise. ppfffftttt...so much for spalady gym membership...which i'm still paying for. god can't wait for that damn contract to finish. anyways, yeah walking in the morning. my work is in downtown edmonton and walking there is kinda like walking in manhattan...only cleaner and no "no standing signs" and no honking and the streets aren't filled with yellow cabs. fine! it's nothing like walking in manhattan (coz being in manhattan is more than being in disneyland to me. word.)! so yeah what i do now as part of my commute is i walk 5 blocks to get to my office building. even though there's a bus that stops right in front of our building, i still went for the walking option. we'll see how will i par when it starts to snow.
  
  
• my laptop has finally broken down. it has been doing very lousy since we came back from manila. there's a way to fix it by way of the recovery disks. but the one that i made when i bought the laptop is not fkin working. what's up with that pc? god can't wait to get a macbook. my best option now is to hire somebody to fix it for me. it's gruelingly sad that i don't know how to fkin work a laptop. i haven't done much with tweaking laptops coz back in the motherland, laptops were kind of a big deal when i was awakening my spring. thanks to my uber reliable ipod touch and its IM applications that lets me stay online. for the mean time, i'll be using the "everybody's computer" for all my computer needs.
  
  
• save as much as you can before it's too late!....or move somewhere else while you still can...somewhere where gay people can legally marry. *blink* c-a-n-a-d-a *blink* c-a-n-a-d-a *blink* hahahahaha (yeah apparently that one goes out to my friends in the states lol and lance and bjorn. naks! sikat!)
  
  
• and we ([tos]sers) are still keeping up with our fight to keep [title of show] on broadway. please visit titleofshow.com and get educated!

enjoy the rest of the week, barney bimbos!

mabuhay ang mga may trabaho!

find one song...one last refrain...glory

awww....RENT....i'm gonna miss it...even if i haven't actually tangibly seen it on stage.

in case you didn't hear it yet, the hot ticket, a part of sony pictures, released RENT to select movie theatres for four shows only on september 24th & 25th and 27th & 28th. yes, they filmed the final curtain call at the nederlander theatre. me and bujit went to see it on wednesday. it brought both of us to tears, specially when they showed a photo of jonathan larson at the end. it's really sad that he didn't get to experience the success of his creation. RENT has touched so many lives in so many different ways you could ever imagine. the song "christmas bells" reminds you that there are others who is in way deeper shit hole than you are.....then enter "seasons of love" reminding you to live your life one day at a time and to just accept the people around you. "i'll cover you" reminds you that true love still exists, even for gay people. then "without you" gives you a glimpse of what it would feel like if you lose someone you really really love.

RENT totally kicking ass lives up to its coined statement, "no day but today".

thank you, jonathan larson.

Beloved Tossers:

As many of you know, it was announced last night that [title of show] will conclude its run at the Lyceum on October 12th.

Thank you for all your support that each of continue to demonstrate, through buying tickets, listening to the CD, reading the blog, blogging, writing to us, sending us videos, taking your inspiration and creating your own work...it means the world to us.

Lots of feelings are being felt: sadness, pride, gratitude...and hope. Guess what: the story isn't over yet.

You may be feeling feelings, too. You also may be wondering what you can do. And here it is:

We want to PACK the houses for the rest of the Lyceum run of [title of show]. If we can sell out these houses, then we have something to work with…and the possibility of another chapter of [title of show]. You can make a difference about what comes next…you can contribute to the shape of the future of [title of show].

What can you do?
*Tell 90 people to come see the show.
*Make and distribute your own [title of show] flyer.
*Post your own video encouraging people to buy tickets.
*Tell your co-workers and classmates and cast-mates and teachers and students and parents and children and friends and neighbors to come see the show as soon as possible.
*Get a group to see the show who has never seen it before.
*Find a creative way to turn your passion about the show into ticket sales.

Time is of the essence.

Remain open, passionate and optimistic.

The adventure continues, people.

Love and gratitude,
Hunter, Jeff, Heidi, Susan, Michael, Courtney, Benjamin & Larry

PS: Keep your eye on the blog for further instructions...

please help save [title of show]. a lot of theatre goers had mistakenly overlooked this one awesome bananas show.

get a what now?

"get a job!" those are the exact words from my cool geeky godsister. well as far as job hunting goes, i already submitted my resume to various companies around the city via email. luckily, i received 1 email reply and 1 phone call. both responses are for interview appointments next week. snaaaps! i also sent my resume to apple. yeah apple. i didn't apply for the genius position....well i'm not a mac user...how do you expect me to tweek mac stuff? so i applied for the inventory specialist position instead. i was an awesome (i'm not bragging. i'm just quoting my previous boss.) order writer at my previous job and i can freakin bananas multitask as well. so yeah i figured i can handle apple. there's nothing else to do but hope and pray that they would call soon before i get hired by somebody else. wish me a gazzilion luck. yeah i command you to.

man, i'm tired of doing nothing. i'm getting a little cornball crazy in the head. plus this yo-yo-ing weight going on...arrrrghhhh...i can't wait for that day where i'd be happy to punch you in your pair and say, with all my chita rivera dancing might, "suck on that, herbalife!"
