Pure, spotless, loving and true.
Sleepless nights. This would best describe the past two weeks that I've been in a subtle hiatus from my blogging rhythm. Why? Reading my twits might give you an abstract portrait of what I was up to. Rehearsals, nights of less sleeps (sleepless nights, :D), singing, dancing, make-up and curtain.
Why was Mary Immaculate? It was because of Jesus. It was Jesus the Mediator Himself who intervened. Thus, His merit as Redeemer was foreseen.
Ineffabilis Deus was the title of the musical that we have been piecing together for the weeks that have gone by. Before I continue, a little background, it was first staged 12 years ago by our brother postulants (now priests) on the eve of the Solemnity of Mary's Immaculate Conception. The script of the one-act musical was forged by no less than Fr. Joel Camaya, SDB (my spiritual director, he also directed the play when it was staged in 1995).
Okay, sleepless nights again. The practices for the plays lasts for 3 hours on an average. Starting at around 9 pm renders an hour or two of our sleep time gone. But it was worth the sacrifice. The amount of sleep I lacked is but a puff of air compared to the learning I've gained and drawn out from my experiences as a stage actor. The experience changed me, a lot. After the gala performance we had a few hours ago, I felt more confident.
Seems that I wouldn't be able to finish this post, my eyes are drooping already. My mind, already asleep. Just in time actually. The first part of the video of the play has just been uploaded. Take a look at this video first then wait for an update tomorrow. :)
