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).

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 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...
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?

After a couple of days,...
