Sa.choom!

it's been a while since i last watched a musical play (7yrs ago to be exact haha!). rendon has never been to one. answering the need of our lack of culture-filled activities (he's not one to go to art galleries) is Sa.choom. it's not as culture-filled as i would like it to be but there's a need to compromise. i can't allow him to afll asleep during the show after all. no point in watching if like that, right?

Here's an intro from the vn company bringing sa.choom here:

"'Sa.choom - a romantic comedy love story from Korea' is like a nerevending musical video live onstage with unique dance moves..."

Sounds interesting, yeah? besides, there's absolutely NO WAY he can get out of this one hahahaha!

the website looks interesting. apparently, they wowed the audience in the edinburg festival so it should be good! can't wait!!!! (bought tickets for this sat, august 1 at 3pm. the evening show costs 50k more. too much!)

for the meantime, here's a borrowed (from their website) pic as a preview to sat's show hihi!
(wanted to show a video but don't know how to so will just post a link)

EDITED -080209-: the show had a bad storyline but the dance moves were AWESOME!!! they were doing yoga moves in super fast forward motion. not a lot of people watched though. we were supposed to sit on the balcony (600 pesos) but were transferred to the 900 buck seating area. darn talaga! should have bought the 300 peso tickets instead hehe!

and the ultimate highlight is: the lead lady dancer stood in front of mike's seat (so that she'll look as if she's coming from far away to meet the lead male) so the spotlight was on mike. unfortunately for him, he was asleep with his mouth hanging open hahahhaa! HULI KA! hahaha! should've taken a pic natch!

Eeep!!!

several medical related incidents in vietnam:

1st experience: had boob problem a few months back. decided to visit an oby in an international hospital seeing as i won't be able to understand the docs in the local hospitals. so i made an appointment & i was assured that the doc spoke fluent english. *WHEW!*

so i went & arrived in a waiting room full of expectant mothers & their husbands... o-kay... i guess it didn't come as a surprise when doc started asking me these qs:

doc: how many children do you have?
me: none
doc: are you breastfeeding?
me: ummm... no (who will i breastfeed if i don't have kids!? no don't answer that...)
doc: married?
me: no

she nodded & wrote "CELIBATION" in my record. (ano daw?! is that even a word?)

then she led me to the exam table & started grappling my boob while i squirmed & almost fell off the exam table muttering "ouch! ouch! ouch!" to her unhearing ears.

after that torture, she said, "you have kyst."

me (not sure wether it's a statement or a question): kissed? yes i kiss my boyfriend

doc: no. you have kyst (hands flailing in the air)

me: *forehead creased, confused look*

doc: kyst! small circle (hands drawing small circles in the air)

me: ah! cyst! (nye!)

doc: yes yes! kyst!

2nd experience: pinoy colleague#1, who had his fingers rolled over by a machine, went to the emergency ward only to find there was a shortage of doctors. either that or they were all on coffee breaks haha! our v colleagues asked him to sit next to a guy with a bleeding head & a guy with bleeding legs both screaming from pain (both motorcycle accidents -- a very common sight in road accidents). pinoy colleague got queasy & declared that he's doing very well in spite of his nails turning black. hahahaha!

3rd experience: pinoy colleague#2, who had his foot on the spokes of a motorbike while the bike was running full speed, was rushed in an ambulance. when he got inside the ambulance, the driver told him to make room bec they need to pick up another patient. the other patient was "on the way" so, i guess to save gas, they gave him a ride to the ER as well! *eep#1* how odd is that? anywho, when the other patient got inside, the v guy who accompanied pinoy colleague#2 in the ambulance told him not to look at the other patient or else he might faint! turned out, the other patient was vomitting blood all over the vehicle!!! *another eep*

i'm not saying that the medical situation here is bad. i'm just saying it's a little off. not as normal as i'm used to. after all, we all got better right? there were just the added bonus of having those experiences which made & will still make great stories in the future. *hihi*
