Hiphop vs Waltz

I only enjoyed 50% of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella with Lea Salonga playing the slaved-girl-turned-princess starring role.

Why?

Because I only got to see the final half of the musical! (Dammit, the scene I was very much looking forward to seeing, the one when Cinderella is magically transformed into a princess (glittery gown, tiara and all), the pumpkin and rats turned into the carriage and horses, that part I did not get to see!!!!! Imagine my disappointment!)

Why wasn't I able to see the first act?

Because we were sooo late!

And why were we late?

Because someone decided to attend his hiphop class (at 11am-12pm) and then join his classmates eat at a fast food restaurant afterwards (fully knowing that we are seeing the matinee show which starts at 3pm). Anyone would know that this is such a brilliant decision, right?

Afterall, dancing to the groove is way better than watching silly actors (some Tony award winners at that!) dance waltz! Eating chicken joy instead of (for that particular someone) sleeping in your seat with world class performers humming your lullaby.

So yes, attending hiphop classes which are held everyday is a wiser act than being able to watch all of Cinderella (which has Manila as the first leg of the Asian tour which means we are seeing a world premier) that would only run until August 24.

Did I mention that the hiphop classes come in free with gym membership while you actually have to pay for your tickets to watch the play so not missing on a hiphop class is more clever a move than missing half your ticket's worth.

And yeah, I wasn't enraged last Saturday afternoon, I was fucking fuming mad.

I am not angry anymore, someone's feeling guilty and texted "I love you so much! Sorry po about the Cinderella. Sorry talaga.". Hope he feels terribly sorry that he'd make up by buying me a ticket to the play so I could see its entirety. hahaha.
