UST's Mediartrix adaptation of Miss Saigon: The Musicale
I am a frustrated theater actress.
Way back primary days, our school requires us to join any school recognized organizations as part of our extra-curricular activities. They believed that with such, a student will be able to explore more of their self and be able to contribute their talents wisely. I, myself is an active student -- especially with the theater club.
I remember then that I was joining organizations that caters to my interests annually. From English Club, Book Lover's Club, and the Drama Guild. I usually interchange my membership with only these three organizations, believing that they can help me hone my interest with the magic of the stage. YES, I am very much fascinated with the magic and the power the stage could give. I look forward for every activity that will take place in our school's big auditorium. I am excited too with performing as a lead actress for a play --- because my crush will get to see me perform and hopefully I won't make a mess. Ack! I remember once, we had this major production entitled "Les Miserables". I have high hopes for this actually, I was even confident to gain the lead role as Cosette, and even practiced her lines fervently. Come audition day, to my excitement I gained a spot for the play but not as Cosette but as a --- prostitute, with minimal exposure on the stage. Geezas.
Come college, I promised myself that I will be the best theater person I could be. With all the knowledge and stuff that I know, college theater will make me more exposed to the magical wonders of the stage. I joined the university-wide theater organization and proud of it. Joining wasn't easy, their audition process to become a member was very hard and it was emotionally and physically straining. I even reached a point that I wanted to quit in the middle of the process but suddenly remembered that what I will be gaining afterwards will be worth it. In the end, I became an official member of the university theater. Since then, I've been part of numerous plays, be it in the front or the back. However, I have to turn down theater opportunities because I'm taking up Nursing in college which requires me to focus more on my studies. Oh well, I bid farewell for my theater dreams.
When my good friend, Franzly Racoma invited me to watch with her for a major production, without a doubt I agreed. I totally missed theater plays.
The only thing I know about Miss Saigon is Lea Salonga, the renowned Filipina theater actress who originated the role of Kim in Miss Saigon. She received numerous awards from Tony's, Olivier's, Drama Desk's and more. But the storyline? Believe me, I tried.
Miss Saigon is a tragic story of an Asian woman who fell in love with her American lover; a GI based in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Read the synopsis: HERE.
I fell in love with the story. The actors who played Kim and Chris even made me giddy and sad as the story goes. There were actual parts that made me teary-eyed, some really made me scared (especially the one who played Thuy. Indeed, the eye makeup and brows are effective. Lol)
*UPDATE: The guy who played Thuy was Dennis Buckly =)
The girl who played Kim (I'm sorry I forgot to get her name) really impressed me with her acting and singing. She has the peg of a Lea Salonga! Was having goosebumps when she sang "I still believe" and made me sad and teary-eyed for that part. This girl really rocked the production!
*UPDATE: The actress who played Kim is Eunice Margaret de Castro =)
The actors really portrayed their characters well. Although mishaps cannot really be avoided, overall I give them my 4 out of 5 stars. College plays are still the best! I support all of you!
This is my second time seeing a major production from Mediartrix and still, they never fail to impress me. This organization is really something else. Franzly told me that there will be another production later this year and I'm looking forward to that.
How I wish I studied at UST and be a part of Mediartrix. Lol =)
Kudos!

FILA #whattheheckisthat Campaign Launch
One of my wildest dream ever since middle school is to go Manila Polo Club, without the hassle of having a membership. I know, impossible right? Before you even enter the gates of that private and exclusive club, you must present your proof that you are a part of the elite society. Oh yeah, what the heck.
So when I received an invite for an event with the venue: "Manila Polo Club" --- please, imagine my excitement and giddiness. Silly girl in the process.
Annually, the Manila Polo Club hold its Fila Polo Cup since 2003 and has been one of the brightest highlights of the local sports calendar, not just for the action but also for the glitz and glamour. This year, another feature will steal attention from the field. FILA will be launching a head-scratching campaign at the event where fans of the Revolutionary SKELE-TOES four-toed shoes could stand to win a starring role in a travel and lifestyle documentary!
The campaign? #WhatTheHeckIsThat
You must look for the most amazingly strange, weird, odd, unbelieveable and what-the-heck-is-that reaction inducing photo, post it to the FILA Philippines Facebook page and the Facebook Community votes for a winner! The top #whattheheckisthat submitter gets to star in an exciting travel and lifestyle documentary wearing his or her favorite Skele-toes!
The 2012 Fila Polo Cup shares the fun with advocacy. For every pair of Fila Skele-toes purchased at the event, Php500 will go to the 500 families affected by typhoon Sendong. The advocacy project is called "500 For 500" by Operation Compassion.

HELP: What to get?
As a blogger, it is essential to have the basic essentials. You can never be a pro on what you are doing if you are not equipped with the basics.
So what does every blogger need?
So what does every blogger need?
- The blogger itself
- Money
- Pen and paper
- Creative wittiness
- CAMERA
Yes. Camera.
I have a camera but I think that sooner or later it will give up on me. I love my Olympus T-100 digital camera since me and my family got this on our hands. It served its purpose very obediently. However, I think that with its long year of purpose, it will give up soon because the quality of the image created is not that good anymore. So, I'm planning to give my camera a good rest. I researched and reviewed some awesome cameras that I'm dying to have my hands on it! To sum up my list, I chose these two cameras for me to save up in the future!

One Day in the City: Pasay (An Exhibit)
My second itinerary trip to the museum 2012: Metropolitan Museum of Manila.
I received an invitation via email from The MET for a photo exhibit from the students of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde AB Photography program. Yay for me and my friend, Camille (No Malice In Wonderland)! My museum list goes well!
We made it during the exhibit opening last January 26 and luckily saw the student photographers behind the awesome pictures. Every photo has a story, and every photographer has a duty to share their experience through that story by capturing it. People looking at it may have different observations and stories to tell, still, photos are beyond words and beyond explanations.
"One Day in the City: Pasay” is a photographic exhibit focusing on Pasay City. The show depicts facets of the urban fabric and the experience of city dwellers as seen thru the eyes of student photographers from the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde AB Photography program. The photography project is a way of showing how life is in one part of a 21st century Asian megalopolis like Metro Manila, and will provide a counterpoint and a response to the Spanish photography show “Photo By Photo: A Portrait of Spain” recently exhibited at the Met. The exhibit also features works of Spanish photographer Txema Salvans during his recent Manila visit.
“One Day in the City: Pasay” runs up to March 31, 2012 at the Tall Galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila. The show is organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Manila, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde School of Design and Arts, The City Government of Pasay, Canon Marketing Philippines Inc. and the Spanish Embassy- Manila.
