it's only the third night of music rehearsal and god knows how tired i am already. the first day was such a chaotic environment that we were given just an hour and a half, so we finished just 1 song. last night, we had 3 hours but finished just 3 songs. tonight i chose an ultra easy song so i had time to clean some others, and started a new song (in which i will be needing help. HELP!). i hope those leads study their solos already so that it's easy na to clean.
THOSE COUNTERPOINTS ARE DEADLY.
maybe yesterday was such an off day. you know, like, there are some days when it's all happy rainbows and cheerful bears all around. yesterday was gloomy and depressing, i can't quite figure it out.
i think i already am more than confident about bluerep doing Zanna, Don't! this season. it now makes so much sense.
we discussed judgment in philo class. sir jope was saying something about the grounds for concubinage according to philippine law. he said the guy should have already brought the concubine to his home, the relationship should be scandalous, and another one (i forget) in order to file charges. adultery is charged, however, upon seeing a married woman with another man.
i then asked, what about the homosexuals? like, what if i have a relationship with a girl then i have a one night stand with another girl, am i going against the law? he then said no. there aren't any provisions for homosexual cases. i jokingly replied "eh di magmamahal na lang ako ng babae. mas safe pala eh".
he then said that there aren't any provisions regarding homosexuals because we are in the philippines. he said that in a country like ours, there is no other gender aside from the male and the female. meaning, they're NOTHING and that they have no place in here. after all, it hasn't been a month since the comelec called the ladlad partylist immoral. ladlad was the only way that they could be represented in the legislature. imagine, out of the 268 members of the congress, there isn't even just one person to represent the lgbt community?!
i observed the change in my classmates' reactions. at first we were laughing at my comment about preferring to just love a woman to be safe. the next moment, we all fell silent. by the end of sir's explanation, i was holding back my tears, and i just didn't stop thinking about it even after class. HOW COULD THEY BE NOTHING? HOW? a lot of the people i know are gay and i honestly don't know what i'd be without them. i don't get it, and i don't think there is a reasonable explanation for them to be nothing.
i cannot be more disgusted at the kind of world i'm in.
i hope people get to watch Zanna Don't, and i hope our message gets across. right now, all i want to do is empower. nevermind that i sound idealistic - I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD. everyone deserves to be represented, protected and accepted.
we're gonna go
guys can love guys, girls can love girls, guys can love girls, girls can love guys. WHATEVER. if it feels right, then it most probably is.
