Yet Another Labor Day Greeting! from Ging

Salve Famiglia! How is everyone doing? I've heard from all the pregnant peeps, and those of you who are planning to come up to the east coast to visit Marisol, Jojo, and I, but it's been a while since I've spoken to most of you :0( Hope all is lovely for everyone.

As for me, as everyone knows, I was unable to attend Boyet and Janice's wedding, but I did see all the pictures, and am absolutely heart-broken that I was basically the only one who wasn't there. I did hear the stories and am waiting with baited breath for another one of you to get engaged so that I can be at the next wedding ;0)

The show I was in at the time of the wedding went very well. We started rehearsals and went into previews in May and ran from June-July. I also got to meet a lot of great people and went to a lot of really cool events. A highlight from one of the parties would be drinking with Paolo Montalban - one of the the foremost Filipino actors on Broadway today, though most of you will remember him as the prince in the Brandy/Whitney Houston version of Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. I had told Mama when I was fourteen that I was going to marry him, but, hey, doing a few shots with him was just as good!

Also, as most of you all know, Joy was here for over a month for her internship, which was very nice, as it's actually been a few years since the two of us have really been under one roof. We really didn't get to spend as much time together as I had anticipated, unfortunately, what with schedules, plus she arrived just as audition season started to peak, and left just as the casting started slowing down. She did have good time while she was here, as many of her friends from school were also doing internships, so she was very rarely bored ;0)

I was also just offered a part in a production of Miss Saigon upstate covering the role of Kim and playing one of the featured bar-girls (yes a hooker). Rehearsals will begin early next month, and we will run from October 19 until November 11, so I am very excited and eager for October to get here.

And that's the past few months in a nutshell. Life is good, and I am enjoying myself very much. Hope you all are doing the same! See you in December!
