Here are the different tags I use for this blog.

This tag is what I will be using for reviews of any kind. Musicals, TV Shows, Books, Restos, Stores, Authors, etc.


This tag will be filled with old essays, reviews, college papers that I have managed to save over the years.

When Nostalgia Hits

Recommendations/Features of old stuff (can be anything) or throwbacks.


Topics of discussion (life, love, hardships, etc.) or the thought that’s been plaguing my mind or rants

Spotlight: ETO NA! Musikal nAPO! [Original Filipino Musical]

Image
In Celebration of Original Pilipino Music We were driving to a relative's birthday party when my father mentioned that he read in the newspaper that there was a musical currently ongoing that featured the songs of the APO Hiking Society. My father and I are both music lovers and musicians. He is practically the biggest musical influence I have. I immediately got my phone out and searched. True enough, ETO NA! Musikal nAPO! was currently having it's run from August 3 to the 26th. I immediately booked tickets for us. [That sparked a debate because I was a theatre geek and I really wanted to sit up front but my dad preferred a higher vantage point.] Last August 17, a week before the show was to close. My father and I finally got the chance to see it. Here's the rundown! PLOT: ETO NA!

Theatre Like Never Before: National Theatre at Home

Whatever your country calls it -- quarantine, lockdown --  times are tough for everyone as the current pandemic reaches nth waves across the globe. What doesn't seem to change though is that -- change. People are adapting to what they have at their disposals and the human race is once again learning to rely on different things. Things that were never really given much though off until the hand of humanity was forced and everything must now be done via a good internet connection and a laptop. I for one have spent the past two months working from home -- glued to my laptop during most hours of the week and not signing out even though my shift has ended. [Because let's face it, what else is there to do? One can hardly go out if not for anything essential -- and everyone is really encouraged to refrain from stepping out.] In the Philippines, roughly a week after I had posted my review of Matilda -- the country's capital was placed under Quarantine. After a couple of days,
