May Katwiran ang Katwiran Practice

Today was the second to the last practice for our Filipino play. I know I've been saying the past few days that this sucks, it's a pain in the ass, and that it is because of this I wasn't able to go home for the second consecutive weekend, but I am sure I'll someday miss this.

So what better way to start missing it than to read about it in my College Blog, eh? So for the purpose of reminiscing some three or four years from now, this post and the following posts will all be regarding our Fil play practice.

First off, I would like to show you my effing awesome helicopter:

Suitable for one (1) human being.

Yes, we made that out of just one (1) Balikbayan Box. It may not look like a helicopter now (probably because the other propeller segment magically camouflaged itself with the tiled floor), but just wait and see 'til we add THIS to the combination!

Yes! You might be wondering what is a military helmet thing doing here? How is it related to a heli... hmmm. Actually, they are a lot more related than if I were holding a tiny watermelon that I pierced...

Well, anyway. After HOURS (about 20 minutes) of screwing this helmet (haha) with my brother's (it was broken when I saw it) compass, I managed to puncture a hole--

(I can see through the hole)

--enough to fit a split pin in it so that I can have THIS:

placed on top of the helmet to create THIS:

And so the propellers could actually spin. I've always wanted to do this! I hope the expectations meet up with reality, though. I finished this about an hour ago, and I could've gone down to buy the split pin but I was too lazy.

Speaking of lazy, it sucks that I have all this free time--I already memorized the opening song for the play and done the awesome job of puncturing a hole in the helmet, I have also created a spreadsheet on Google docs with a list of props and their respective prices (if applicable) so that in the end we would know how much to pay whom.

I realize now that the only thing left to do would be to text each of them individually to remind them again of the props that they need, and to wash the dishes in the sink. This is totally a productive day!
