Sakaling Mahalin Mo Ako

Image
This is a series of tweets that was posted with #MessageForMyCrush originally. It may or may not be a work in progress. Sakaling mahalin mo ako, sasaluhin ko ang lahat ng emosyon mo para masuklian ko ng buong pagkatao ko. Sakaling mahalin mo ako, hindi ito ang magiging katapusan o pagkamit ng pangarap. Ito lamang ang simula, pagsilang. Sakaling mahalin mo ako, mas magiingat ako sa aking buhay. Hihilingin kong humaba nang maramdaman ng buo ang iyong puso. Sakaling mahalin mo ako, hinding-hindi ka magiisip na walang nagkakagusto sa'yo. Mararamdaman mo bawat segundo ang tayo. Sakaling mahalin mo ako, lahat ng insecurities mo mamahalin ko rin at mahihiya sila, maglalaho. Sakaling mahalin mo ako, hindi mo kailangan magbago. Kung sino ka, kung magiging sino ka pa, parte ng kung sino tayo. Sakaling mahalin mo ako, hahayaan mo ba akong tumitig lang sa mga mata mo? Pangarap ko kasing malunod sa mundo mo. Sakaling mahalin mo ako, malalaman ng lahat na ang ganda, ang ganda ganda mo.

Paano Manood ng Spoken Word

Una: Alamin agad ang mga detalye ng event. Siguraduhing alam ang kung saan, magkano, at anong oras. Buoin ang schedule sa araw na iyon, pati na rin ang mga gagawin kinabukasan palibot sa mga detalyeng ito. Posibleng lumagpas ng alas-dose ang performances. Pangalawa: Dumating ng maaga. Mabuti na ng maaga at makakapili ng upuan kesa nakatayo ka na lang. Mas masarap mangalay sa magandang puwesto kesa sa gilid at nakikisiksik. Ni minsan ay hindi masarap ipilit siksikin ang sarili para sa lamang sa bagay na gingusto mo. Pangatlo: Ihanda ang sarili habang may puwesto na. Hindi kailangang magpakamanhid. Tamang bawas lang ng emotional baggage para makasalo ng emosyon ng performers. Yung sakto lang para manamnam ang bawat salita, bawat tunog, bawat kumpas. Pang-apat: Gamitin ang iyong cellphone pero hindi para kumuha ng video. Ang Spoken Word ay isang performance art. Mas mainam kung nakatutok ka sa nasa entablado. I-document ang pangyayari sa pictures o sa twee...

Pasasalamat Sa Mga Huling Sandali

Image
2015 started fast but then midway, it slowed down and it showed me how I could live without forgetting every step. I begin the last day of the year with much gratitude for the new things life has allowed me to encounter. This would simply be a short list of people I've met only this year. I hope that I have made my thank yous felt even with words unspoken when we crossed paths during 2015. Social Media Day 2015 allowed me to discover and rediscover things. It (re)connected me to blogging, theater, Spoken Word, and introduced me to a Twitter family full of love online and offline. This is also a reminder to always take pictures. I'm glad I took what I could during #ChangePH. With @thesoshalnetwork Provinciated!!! #ChangePH #SocialMediaDay2015 A photo posted by @unsaulicited on Jun 27, 2015 at 2:54am PDT The Soshal Network consists of the three of the greatest bloggers I have been introduced to this year. These three genuine lovers of life simply started writ...

From the producers of the blockbuster action movie “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” the feel-good story of “Eddie The Eagle” is about Michael “Eddie” Edwards (Egerton), a courageous yet unlikely British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself – even as his family and the entire nation initially counted him out. Persistently trying to perfect his skill with the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach, portrayed by Hugh Jackman, Eddie eventually wins the hearts of sports fans round the globe when he performed a historic feat at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. A loveable underdog with a never-say-die attitude will rise in “Eddie The Eagle” when it opens in cinemas this April 2016. From 20th Century Fox, check out “Eddie The Eagle” trailers here:

The Egg Has Hatched And Maniacal Is Back!

Image
December 15, 2015 marked the launch of Egg Theater Company with the staging of their adapted work, Maniacal. Egg Theater Company is composed of theater veterans Kristine Balmes, Renante Bustamante, Martha Comia, George de Jesus III, Maria Marasigan, Paolo O'Hara, and Alvin Trono. Director George de Jesus III narrates the idea of hatching Egg started when they were doing Maniacal during the Fringe Manila earlier this year. Out of their conceptualization came the vision of producing straight plays with a contemporary setting in the Filipino language using original materials, translations or adaptations of both modern and classic works geared to showcase the Filipino actor.* It is but fitting that their first production, Maniacal, showcases the full glory of the Filipino theater actor. Maniacal is an adaptation of Moliere's Les Femmes Savantes that transports the script to the Philippine Theater scene today. Staged at Pinapple Lab, the venue gives the actors a chance to in...

Quick, Easy Christmas Shopping at Marketa

Image
I was looking for not the usual and easy Christmas shopping this year and a stumbled upon Marketa . Like before, I was on the lookout for not so popular gift items but those that I have seen already in different shops. The site was new but it got my trust early when I saw products from Stanford Shaw, Nipa, and Chocolaterisa. There are a lot of new local sellers that have opened shop at Marketa and it was great to have a lot of options for different budgets. I've seen items for as low as P50 and there are premium product bundles that could go higher than P1000. I prefer giving away food but they have a lot of other product categories such as Fashion, Accessories, Beauty, Wellness, etc. Registration and payment was easy. Different payment options include PayPal and COD. I ordered and paid for my order December 10 and got my package delivered December 12. I did have a small problem when I paid GCash because of my internet connection but they were quick to respond t...
