Spotlight: #PhantomManila back after 7 years

-
Image
Back in 2012, I watched Phantom in the Opera while working on my undergraduate thesis with a mentor that worked at CCP. My groupmates and I would head over to CCP and hear them rehearse. There was even a time that we were eating at the nearby Harbour Square and three of the cast were also eating at the same place. Fast forward to last year when I was jumping with utter joy when Jonathan Roxmouth announced on his Twitter and Facebook pages that he was returning to Manila, playing the talented and yet terrifying Phantom. Last February 23, I got my second chance of watching this incredible music come alive. Like my spotlight on Mamma Mia, I won't go into the details of the plot. [There is the movie and the book if you want a more in depth look into the story.] I'll be going straight to my thoughts on this tour. THOUGHTS I need to get this out first, the Phantom I watched was Ian Jon Bourg and HE WAS AMAZING! Yes, most people would watch this expecting the main cast but...

“I should be writing…”

I say this multiple times a day(or basically every time I open the file of the book/article/story I have to write that is due in a couple of days). But alas, other things are occupying my head. Because my brain can’t handle all the jumbled ideas, I created this dumping ground of everything going on. Do I think anyone will read this? Probably not. But hey, at least I can show it to my descendants and say how incredible sarcastic, bitter yet intelligent and thought provoking I was. As said on the side, I am worryingly obsessed with everything under the sun (movies, shows, books, sports, food, fashion...you name it, I love it). I work in a good, secure job that pays for all the bills. I take pictures because I see the beauty of the world through a lens. I live through the words I write (or type if you want to be literal about it). I patiently wait for the one (because I believe in the cheesy thing called Love). But most of all, I am a human being who is grateful for yet anot...

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

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! Musikal nAPO! is a story of a college barkada who during the tough times of their youth and the current government, stumbles upon a song writing competition. Given their musical t...
