The zarzuela comes to an end

The P&G zarzuela finally happened last night and the general feeling is that it was quite successful even if not too many people stayed to watch the whole show. It was a lot of fun despite the fact that we were never really able to do one full technical rehearsal end-to-end i.e. we never really fully practiced with the lights. Actually, the cast was there at 1pm but the stage was still being set up (they only finished setting it up in the late afternoon, and we were rehearsing while they were finishing it). So to pass the time away, we played Pinoy Genio (sp?) and charades. After dinner but before the show we played free-for-all charades where people just think of a movie, tell me what it was, and I would act it out. When I started perspiring, Chris subbed for me until we were told we would start. The performance was well-received by the people who were still there, and we got a standing ovation from the biggest bosses. Pretty cool! We capped off the night at Starbucks before heading home.

Other great things this week:
  • Scott Savol is finally out of AI! On paper, Anthony should've gone with that horrible, horrible 'poison ivy' song (he sang it okay but it was just such a terrible song!) but Scott was just such a prick (and he stayed safe a lot of times that he should've gone) that this was his time to go! Bo-Carrie final in the making? Dunno, but I hope Bo makes it at least to the final 2.
  • Liverpool are through to the Champions League final beating Chelsea with a controversial goal! Well, whether the goal was really in or not, I don't care. Liverpool didn't call it, and they managed to keep Chelsea from scoring a goal (6 minutes injury time? Since when have 6 minutes been added?). Up next, AC Milan. It'll be another really steep mountain to climb, so I hope Liverpool still have enough game and luck to score another huge upset.
