Tags Explained

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

“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: #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.

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,...
