I’m going to post this before I lose my enthusiasm. May contain spoilers at the end. I was scouring National Bookstore for a good fictional read since I want to be entertained after overwhelming myself with Self-Help books. They’re not exactly entertaining and in fact they’re stressing me out because it makes me want to […]

Actually, I wholeheartedly agree with the Play’s write up in the Program; Sugarfree songs are bound to made into musicals. What made me such a fan of Sugarfree songs is its in heart-wrenching lyrics, and majority of them are in Filipino, which for me, as a Filipina, makes it all the more heart-wrenching, makabagbag-damdamin, ‘ika […]
There are ho-hum months and then there are just months wherein shows and events just bunch up and you want to go see everything. April 2013 surprisingly has a lot of shows, screenings and events to go to, and here are a few ones that I want to see. 1. Sa Wakas: A New Pinoy […]
Well, today was Philippine Philharmonic’s 40th Anniversary performance, and I was able to watch it thanks to a Deal Grocer deal. I didn’t know what to expect – I enjoyed the last Orchestra concert I went to, but I’m not sure about this one. In any case, I was glad I’m even able to pry […]
I had the chance to watch Two Musicals last weekend: Katy the Musical last Saturday, and Les Miserables on Sunday. Katy the Musical for the sake of Dulce fangirling, and Les Miserables, as part of the ‘Book Club’ review I’m having with my friends. Some thoughts: Katy the Musical (2013) Starring Isay Alvarez as Katy dela […]

El Presidente (2012) Written and Directed by: Mark Meily Should you see it? Yes, definitely! But its not for the easily bored. [Spoilers Ahead, You've Been Warned]
It actually saddens me when people say things like: “Oh no, it’s the scourge of the MMFF again”, or “I can’t wait for the MMFF week to end so I can watch a real movie”. I know for some MMFF has this bad rep of showing crappy movies, like the umpteenth rehash of Shake, Rattle […]
Culture and Religion definitely mix. Especially when you’re in Predominantly Catholic Philippines, almost all celebrations revolve around a Patron Saint’s feast day. Though nowadays people maybe inclined to think that Fiestas only happen in the Provinces, there are still some popular Fiestas in the Metro – if you’re a Manileno you’d probably have a friend […]
The first time I heard of the Toyota Classics series was a commercial in Star World. It was probably years ago when I was still in High School. Everything just looks so glamorous, the way the Orchestra looks so formal in their Tuxedoes and Black gowns, the announcer’s voice, the red telon of the stage. I […]
