Enroll Na!

Hehe. Our imaginative minds really took us to wherever imagination should take us. Recently, in my profile, a lot of changes had occurred. There were additions which other people do not know of. Surprise, surprise! Only two people know about it. Guess who? Me of course, and one of my closest buddies JM.


All of these began when we were in High school. Before he transferred to RHS, JM was also a long-time PCCian like my bff C-chan. Anyway, we usually talk for hours in the phone when YM is not yet our forte and when we still have dial-ups as internet connection.


We talk until the sun comes down and until it almost rises again. That talk, we considered as a Radio Program. And so the Program at that time when we haven't idolized the "Tambalan" at Love Radio (Nichole and Chris) was just called by its Radio Station DZ Hilo (a pun for Dizzy and Hilo- both meaning the same).


Not long after that, we have imaginative talks and until the time I went to vacation in third year High school. JM was to transfer at RHS the next school year, and so I was hoping for a section change that time. I had several experiences that are so unforgettable during vacation of 2004, and I had of course some quality time to narrate everything to JM. He listened well, and surprisingly, he could tell some of the things there! And then, M.A.S.A. was born. Madam Auring's School of Astrology is the first school's name.


In line with that, Eddie Gil, a once presidentiable in our country caught our comical imaginative minds. We had him as our first "Pinoy Idol" and we heard from TV that he's going to have his movie with Madam Auring. JM, who is so fond of singing old songs and anything under the sun (that's why I called him my "Jukebox") decided to have another school where we are attending: the E.G.S.S. or Eddie Gil's School of Singing (or Singing School).


Several things happened between me and JM and it will be a longer story. Anyhow, our friendship came back to its solid state, stronger than ever. If before, we only talked of dreams related to TTK Max and others, now we had our interests jived together in making something. This something is simply Kakurenbo, our novel, that we made in order to fulfill the need of the writers within us.


Kakurenbo was just a spin-off of some dramas like Goong and Meteor Garden, and a mixture of parodies and spoofs we made. But generally, the plot and concept are originally ours. The characters were almost all actually living--the people who had made an impact in our mortal lives. Since High school, we've been writing stories on our own, his "Love is in the Air" and my fan fictions. Making Kakurenbo together really made us realize hard work and of course we had so much fun while we did it.


The rest of the schools and companies were created alongside Kakurenbo: first is M.I.P- Makati or the Maharlikang Institusyon ng Pilipinas. This is where the main characters in our story study. An imaginary school of elite and royal bloods. Next is B.I.S.A- Bitoy's International Spoof Academy. That's were our imaginative spoofs came about. Next is S.U.K.A.- Sharon's (Sharon Cuneta) Advertising (I forgot the other letters! :P). This is where we associate the advertisements we created and had caught our attention. Finally, the two broadcast companies were also created as part of the story. L.B.M. or the Liberty Broadcasting Media was the TV station of the antagonists in Kakurenbo, and U.T.I. or Universal Television Incorporated, the archenemy of L.B.M. which is supposedly appearing on the sequel of Kakurenbo.


Not long after Kakurenbo, I had crushes with same letters in their names. They were called by JM as the 3M. When ABC-5 reformatted and became TV-5, the idea of having another TV network in the "Kaharian" led to the creation of TV-3M, where all my crushes with the M's (3M) are supposed to be working.



Just recently, we had the Thai Invasion which led to the creation of two other schools, H.A.F.Y.A.W. and P.A.Y.A.T.. They were created because of the dreams we recently had-- about ourselves and the "gang" JM usually meets at my birthday (which includes Zoren, Roy "Banlag" and my boyfriend). Pchy came into my life and continued in JM's, so P.A.Y.A.T. stands for Pchy's Academy for Young Artists and Talents. H.A.F.Y.A.W. is related to all of us-- Hazel and Friends' Young Artists Workshop. Istarbuko, a spoof in Kakurenbo suddenly became my working place in one of JM's dreams (with Pipoy/Pchy's Filipino nickname).

As time passes by, I think there will be additional schools and companies. We're starting to wonder if we are the only ones attending them, with respective deans Madam Auring and Eddie Gil, and others...


So what are you all waiting for? Enroll na! :D
