Narcissism Overdrive


Because I'm narcissistic, I google my name from time to time just to see how I'm presented in the cyberworld. Of course the same results come out most of the time because, come on, it's not as if people would actually make fansites for me.

Imagine my delight when I came across this. Or copy and paste this URL: http://www.dlsu.edu.ph/offices/sps/cao/calendar.asp

Not a fansite but almost as good. Just in case you're lazy and do not want to open another window, here is the reason for my happiness:

Aug 3 & 9, 2006
Harlequin Theatre Guild Festival 2006: Malate Literary Folio
                            Time: 7:30 – 9:00p.m.
                            Venue:
William Shaw Little Theatre
                            Ticket price: P80.00


Witness a feast of Lasallian artistry as the Harlequin Theatre Guild
gives tribute to the best works in Malate Literary Folio such as The
Test by Althea Ricardo, Eyeball by Cynthia Diangson, Kawil by Joni
Cham, and Kwentong Butchero by Johannes Chua, staged for the very first
time by the newest members of the guild.

*girlish giggle*

Wa... wait... P80.00 ticket price? They're going to make money out of my short story? Shouldn't I get paid royalty or something? How come nobody asked for my permission? Oh no, wait a sec! People are actually going to pay to listen to my short story read aloud? WOW!

Of course I'm sure 90% of the audience will be students forced by their Lit profs to attend. But it doesn't matter!!! I'm going to be read aloud. Heck, I'm being paid tribute to! Heehee, I'm happy!

    Good luck with the reading aloud stuff. Dont guzzle too much beer the former days to affect your throat on D-Day. Wish you a loud applause. I will look forward to a TREAT from YOU ofcourse. Any supporters here for this idea????:))Food food food.

    I'm not the one going to read it. I didn't even know there was going to be a reading and I wouldn't have found out if I weren't so narcissistic. I'm sure they'd do a much better job reading my piece than if I were to read it myself. Plus I won't be in Manila come August. Nuna, will you attend it for me and take a video or something? Hehehe!

    Ooops! I missunderstood.

    theJonaStory: Charge 100 USD for attending it and another 100 USD for filming. I support you if you put forward this demand. :)

    Mean man I am as you said Joni. :) Heheheheh!

    Maybe they didn't know how to contact me? Although I doubt if they tried that hard din.

    i will leave a message for her then. naku, pwede kaya ang mga di enrolled to attend? i still remember that irritating episode at the south gate. para namang nanakawin ko ang punyetang eskwelahan nila 'no! gusto lang nila tayong huthutan ng pera para sa walang ka-kwenta kwentang alumni card! hmp.

    Contact someone from Malate and have them arrange an entry pass for you. And make sure that you don't have to pay for the ticket. It's the least they could do.

    DLSU's trunkline: 5244611 (God, I don't know why I still have that stored in my brain!). Ask for SPO. Ask for anyone from Malate. Tell them who you are. Tell them you heard about this Theater Guild Festival thingie and that you want to be invited. Hehe!

    Sachin, Nuna is not going to charge me a single cent because she loves me too much. Plus she knows how cheap I am.
