So let me tell you something. I live in the city, so my lungs are probably filled with noxious gases that will one day kill me. My idea of exercise is to get up from bed, get my laptop from the desk, go back to bed, put my laptop on…well, my lap, and try to plug it into its charger without moving from the bed.

I am a Filipino, but I cannot speak our native language to save my life. I am also not the most caring or hospitable person on the block, so shame on me, I guess. You’re probably saying that I am a shite Filipino, but yes, I totally admit that.

However, like any classic Filipino, there is nothing I love more than loud music, and singing off-key, on the top of my lungs on an old, beat-up, karaoke machine.

The name is Reese. I’m 14; I was born on January 18th, and I’m a High School Junior at the Abba’s Orchard School. I live in the Philippines. Once I get out of the hellhole that is high school, I will take up Journalism, hopefully in this school called Ateneo De Manila University, or De La Salle University. If all else fails, I could just commit suppoku, but then I’m too much of a narcissistic fag to do so. I will become the most badass rockstar/lawyer one day. Just you wait and see.

I was a prisoner, a factory worker, a prostitute and a beggar, all in one night. That’s right. I’m not even joking. We’ve attempted something that has never been attempted before on a high school level. A Les Miserables musical.

I must admit, I was really skeptical about this from the start. I mean, c’mon, a couple of high school students who can barely sing and a musical of this level? Who were we kidding? But last night, oh my god. Amazing performances that brought me to tears, and I was just backstage. Hearing them sing like that, watching them perform, it was an amazing experience.

Although I played a really unnoticeable role, I’m very proud of my friends who played important roles like Andrew who played Marius, and Evee who played Fantine. They did such a wonderful job.

Below is our setlist. It’s incomplete though.



And after that whole year of complaining, dissing and really just being negative about the play, it’s done, and I think I’m going to miss it. Everyone wants a second show. Hopefully we get one. I’d like to repeat that glorious sensation once again.
