Down Up Down

 

"Anong floor ulet?"

This happened around 5pm-ish, just 3 hours before the show starts. I went into the wrong floor because the 2 elevators at the right side of CCP in the backstage have different floor buttons. The Left Elevator has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 while the Right Elevator has G, 1, 2, 3, 4. So it would be like Right Elevator G is also Left Elevator 1! My officemate told me to bring these heavy programs, albums etc. to the storage room (which is located at the 2nd floor of CCP) using a pushcart. Then I went to the left side of the elevator (I was at the 4th floor just outside Silangan Hall), then I pressed 1st floor. My officemate told me that CCP elevators backstage are really weird. The left elevator couldn't be opened at floors 2 and 3 because there are some "stuffs" in front of those elevator doors, while 1, 4 and 5 could be opened. I couldn't use the right elevator at the 4th floor because it is separated by a wall, not accessible! I think it leads to another room? 

Anyways, I waited for the right elevator at the 1st floor (which is also the ground floor according to right elevator) Then I entered and pressed the 2nd floor... After 8 seconds of waiting inside the rusty elevator, the door opened so slowly and I saw the cast of CATS together with Lea Salonga! I was like OMG!!! They still don't have their make-ups and wigs, and it seems like they're relaxing, chatting while drinking coffee. I went outside of that elevator, and I felt like I kinda disturbed them HAHAHA!!! I was supposed to go to the right side of that elevator lobby when I saw a dead end there, it's full of rooms etc. In my head I said... "SHET, Asan yung backstage nawawala?! OMG OMG OMG, chill ka lang kiben, kunyare iwan ko muna tong pushcart dito..." Cuz they were all looking at me! (Sino ba naman hindi kakabahan parang napahiya ata ako run haha) 

Then I went down just one floor to check if the backstage is there and oooopppsss... WRONG FLOOR! HAHAHAHA!!! I went back up again at that "2nd floor" and realized it's the 3rd floor if you're gonna use the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So I should be on the 1st floor of right elevator. So ok, I disturbed them again, and I was so shy that I think they also realized I went to the wrong floor HAHAHA!!! I didn't dare to look at them especially Lea. I was so shy! Then the "right elevator" opened and I saw my other officemate and I was like... "UY!!!" Then she told me what am I doing at this floor? I told her that I went to the wrong floor, I need to be on the 2nd floor of backstage but it says on this elevator that this is 2nd floor and "Gagi, nawawala yung backstage, maling floor ata ako? Hahaha" Then she laughed and told me to go down this elevator, the storage room is located at the 1st floor of the right elevator. Then finally I went down and oh yeahhhhh, I went to the right side of the elevator lobby and... 

"Hello backstage! You're BACK!"
