And the winner is..... The JUMPY JUNIORS!!!
I
am not biased (though this is my original batch before I took a leave
and transferred to evening section). They ranked third, but for many
of us the Juniors are the winners. They gave the best rendition of Minsang Lang Kitang Iibigin 
and their Seasons of Love was fantastic! 
I salute my friends Kat Aglibot (super sexy mo!
), Virgil Ligutan (super tangkad at gwapo mo and you were like actually jumping as you glide when you reach for your high notes 
), and my twin Cecille Tuason (you were a bomb! super feel na feel and you had the best smile 
).
I also congratulate the evening section for winning second place :) . Bravo Bernard, Rica, Ia and Jeff 
Malcolm Idolaw is the first concert ever of the UP Law Community showcasing talents of professors and students to let the whole world know na TAO RIN KAMI
and we are never ever DULL contrary to popular belief. This is a
project of the LSG (Law Student Government) and UP LAW Class 1982.
My few comments:
1.
Professor Pulido-Tan the master of ceremonies and professor of Taxation
was a revelation that evening. We didn't know she can make people
laugh in that way rin pala. 
2.
Dean Carlota -- his was my favorite solo performance. Our Dean can
sing!!!! Beat that! His rendition of SMILE (though your heart is
aching...) as he said, is truly a banner song for all lawstudents when
the going gets rough 
.
3. Prof. Labitag -- impressive baritone. He could sing!!!!
4. Justice De Leon my another favorite is a real pro. A former member of UP Madrigals. Splendid splendid!
5.
And my oh my... Ms. Lorybeth Baldrias (LSG President) and Dean
Carlota's duet of Somewhere Out There was beautiful. Ms. Lorybeth's
voice was truly angelic.
6. My another favorite is the rendition of the portia trio with Prof. Chit Jardaleza. The songs are easy listening and relaxing. Ma'am Chit could carry a tune... though she says she has a bathroom voice who only sings in the bathroom.
Congratulations everyone who participated and to the LSG for a job well done.
The new MALCOLM IDOLAW!!!! (pronounced as IDOLO... okay? ) makes me want to audition and sing for next year. 
Hear one of God's instruments, through Joy's music in raw, acoustic form...
I have been reminding her (Joy) that instead of audio recording her original compositions that she record it on video. Well, so that we can upload it on You tube and other video blogs providers, and also because multiply sometimes has audio downloading problems.
However
sans the video (and i think it would take her forever to do it) I can't
wait to tell you about my good friend, Joy Domingo. She was introduced
to me in year 2002, the schoolyear when I was about to graduate in
college and I was at one of the lowest points in my life. She was the
North A leader of Youth for Christ (San Juan Area) and Christine
Guevarra, my spritual adviser invited me to one of their band
practices.
Joy was in a gray shirt and the first person to greet me at the Guevarra Residence, with a big smile on her face. I didn't find her interesting (peace joy!) so I just greeted her with a smile and a simple "hi!" but the girl kept talking to me, asking me to sing. She asked me to sing!!!
And so... I became a part of their band, HUMAN IMPERFECT where songs are originally composed by Joy Domingo herself and Christine as lyricist.
My experience in this band and the friendships that I made with them truly made me a better and a happier person. My life has never been the same since then. As I said, she is a God's intrument - her person, her friendship and her music.

INTO THE WOODS - 3 STARS
The set taken from my phone cam
I expected more. The sound system was terrible last November 24.
Each actor even had lapel michs. I hope they could give attention to
this especially that it is a musical play. Some songs can't be
appreciated with ugly sound system like Joaqui Valdeze's solo for his
mich was not functioning properly. Julian Abueva, Menchu lauchenco and
Michael Williams -- are the only three actors whom I appreciated their
singing and acting.
I find the play overrated with all the reviews and press releases.
Tommy Abuel can't be understood with his lines. He is better off in
television and film. I also find it rowdy. The acoustics was bad --
to think that venue is Music Musuem. I encourage the actors and
people behind the scenes of Into the Woods to watch Dogeaters. Each
actor in that play didn't have lapel michs but they did a great job
with voice and stage projection.
Nov. 9 - Dec. 8 2007

DOGEATERS - 5 STARS
The last time I joined a Filipino crowd in a standing ovation during a play's curtain call was Repertory Philippine's production of Les Miserables. This was years ago. I was in gradeschool then. I never joined a standing ovation since then, or should I say it has been a long time since I saw a standing ovation in Philippine theater... until I saw Dogeaters last Sunday at Carlos P. Romulo Theater at RCBC Makati.
Aside from the starstudded-cast that made me see this play (where I had to travel all the way from Ilocos and maximize my weekend-off from my internship at PAO, Laoag City Branch) is the encouragement of Christine Guevarra a.k.a. Tin, my college batchmate and presently a 2nd year med student in UST. She sent a pm (personal msg) and asked when I am planning to see it since I posted it in my multiply calendar. Well, though I did post it, I did it merely to remind myself of the upcoming plays but I wasn't really decided yet at that time. Tin mentioned to me that the play is originally from Jessica Hagedorn's best-selling novel DOGEATERS which she bought at Fullybooked in year 2004. Tin, though not as an avid theatergoer as I am, insinuated that the play is well-written. And I was convinced, she being a prolific writer herself... not to mention being the SINAG associate editor who even bested the magnas and cums in our batch who applied for the high -ranking positions in our college editorial board. In other words, I trusted her judgement that this play is indeed... good.
And it surely was.
And not just good but excellent even. I am not saying though that you will definitely feel the same way as I rave about it for we have varying tastes, but my entire family and friends seated at the center orchestra, 6 to 8 rows from the front row stood up during the curtain call. Some people remain glued to their seats... but I think half of the audience that night stood as we did. Actors Michael Williams and Madeleine Nicolas who were part of the audience, and who I also watched in Into the Woods the night before at Music Museum were with wide smiles during the curtain call seemingly very pleased at their fellow thespians.
Well as to my "say," I prefer not to discuss the synopsis since this has been written about many times like the very detailed column of Pat Evangelista. You can read about the story on other websites, just google it, or check Atlantis productions website.
Andoy Ranay - gave one of the best performances as Imelda Marcos. The
accent, the voice, the imeldific hair-dress-shoes, the twinkling of the
eyes, the mannerisms -- it was IMELDIFIC! It was perfect, funny, it
would make you laugh! I enjoyed watching her... I mean him 
Andoy is by the way a television director of Marina, Kampanyerang Kuba, MMK, and Prinsesa ng Banyera. Gays as Sir Ray Macapagal (a brilliant gay psych teacher) said are usually considered as lower form of species of human society -- but Andoy Ranay disputes this fact. He gave a stellar performance. His diction was perfect, he had an impressive voice projection and clear enunciation of the words - his overall performance was exemplary. I hope I could get to watch him more on stage besides his films like Markova and Comfort Gay among others.
Another observation is that the cast is NOT entirely star-studded. Unlike elitist theater companies who hire the "elites and the same" actors most of the time, Dogeaters also consisted of some thespians from the "masang pinoy" theater companies (I call it masang pinoy since their tickets are more affordable, usually at student prices at natural mas maraming nakakapanuod na masa at hindi elitista; and their "pinoy" rendition of plays which usually have tagalog versions) who are not given the same attention and opportunity (as those in elitist theater companies) gave the most impressive acting performances.
At the top pf my list is Nicco Manalo who portrayed the afro-haired
Joey. He is part of Tanghalang Pilipino Actor's Company and has also
acted for student and indie films. He FELT his role -- mula
sa pagiging high sa dopamine, to a weird homosexual disk jockey, sa
nanginginig na witness sa assassination ng isang senador at sa gubat
kasama ng mga rebelde -- his performance was flawless at sobrang totoo.
I hope his outstanding performance in this play would open more
opportunities for him not only in theater but also in television and
film. Kung may best actor award -- sa kanya ko ibibigay ang trono.
The
next to my list are: Gerald Napoles who portrayed 5 characters - best
of which as Lt. Pepe Carreon, Las Rodriguez - as waiter of the
wealthiest man of the country and boyfriend of Trining portrayed by
Chari Arespacochaga. I was also impressed with Chari who made a
comeback from directing. Her portrayal of Trining gave life to the
play as she is funny and kenkoy -- especially the bedscene with Las
when the latter called her Lolita to which she responded, "My name is Trining! Not Lolita." Hahaha.
Ana Abad Santos was brilliant as Barbara, a talkshow host who also
served as narrator of the play. Rez Cortez was amazing from shifting
back-and-forth as a General and a tangengot waiter. Other notable
actors are Jenny Jamora as Daisy Villanueva as a senator's daughter who
converted to a rebel communist, and the pokpok/mistress Lolita Luna
portrayed by Che Ramos.
Acting legends Jon Santos, Gina
Alajar and Joel Torre were as usual -- very very good in their craft.
Gina who appeared in only a few scenes did great acting with her
sacrilegious prayers towards the end of the play. She could scandalize
religious conservatives... that she almost did to my mom . I am glad I was seated next to her to keep her reminded that "it is only a play mom." But
this only goes to show that the play could make you laugh, shock your
moral sensibilities and empathize with their political sentiments -all by the
characters from the different social strata of Philippine society. Which
is why the poster of Dogeaters says it is "A Play About the
Philippines."
The play is about our country. The "then"
era of the late dictator but has parallelisms to the "now." I liked it
a lot. I hope you do too...
It is the best play I've watched this year.

My mom granted one of my X'mas wishes in advance. After watching
it in broadway with my 2 elder sisses last month, she bought me an
original soundtrack of Wicked the Musical. Thanks mom! lab u lab u! Please put an x mark on this in my x'mas wishlist if you intended to give me one , thanks though.
I hope a Philippine Theater Company could stage this wonderful
musical. It has the best songs in Broadway so far in my opinion.
Listen to some of the songs and have a glimpse of Tony Award winner
Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth in their performance of Defying Gravity in the Tony's 2004.

As the title of my blog says, "I am high!"... on Avenue Q High!
Avenue Q is one of the most "fun and entertaining"
plays I have seen after a long time. It is better than the rest of the
Atlantis productions I saw in the past years such as Rent, Rocky Horror
Show and Proof, among others. I salute Chari Arespacochaga -- it is
one of her best, if not the best, directed plays so far. Far better
than Baby the Musical she did with Trumpets.
Avenue
Q is about Princeton, a 23 year old fresh grad who is looking for his
purpose in life. It has a simple plot, with various characters --
stressing on themes like racism, homosexuality, and finding true
love...
What
makes the play unique is that puppets were used by the actors...
puppets act as the actors while holding them, also act -- so you could
actually "see" the actor. Akala ko, nakatago yung mga puppeteers.
Hindi pala. Umaarte rin pala sila, simultaneously with the puppet.
Galing!
Get a glimpse of their you tube plug.
If you think it is like Sesame Street and so you could bring your kids along -- well it is not. Parental Guidance is needed -- some themes are not suited for young audiences, or even the old folks who are not openminded enough: to live-in partnership, premarital sex and homosexuality.
I salute: Felix, Aiza and Joel -- who in my opinion, are the most remarkable and best performers in Avenue.
1. Felix Rivera -- it is my first time to see this young man on stage. He plays the lead -- Rod and Princeton. He has good diction, good voice and has very very good acting. His role is difficult and entails a lot of preparation. Nakakagulat dahil bago siya compared sa iba... at ang galing na. He has appeared in plays with not too well -known theater companies. He did Lam- Ang with Tanghalang Ateneo. I am expecting this guy to soar in the theater industry.
2. Aiza Zeguerra -- gave the best vocals, good diction with the impressive afro-american accent at ang cute. hahaha.
3. Joel Trinidad - the son of Noel Trinidad, gave good acting as usual. He portrayed different characters -- from a guy roommate, to a bear then to a trekkie monster. My usual criticism, like in Proof (with Lea Salonga) -- he needs to improve his voice's volume for better projection. However in the play Avenue Q -- his acting and voice change were excellent so mapapatawad kahit mahina ang boses.

Rachel Alejandro is okay. My friend Tin Agapay finds her good but not much for me, relatively speaking. Frenchie Dy was funny, good voice (shempre, star in a million champion e) but needs to improve on her acting (parang ilang pa e). If she does, I could see that she would be doing more with theater in her career.
Avenue
Q's last showing in the Philippines is tomorrow, September 23 but you

This post will be UPDATED every once in awhile, so please view every now and then.
October is fast approaching and I get busier, more worried and social life-deprived every time a semester is coming to an end. I am not the usual "24 hours last time logged in friendster user" anymore lately. With this, I decided to post as early as now my WISHLIST -- ranging from "mura" to "mahal." I decided to widen the price range of the items because more are granted when there are more wishes to choose from... 'em I right? And, people are not genies who limit to 3 wishes only.
My reasons for posting this blog is that I WANT TO BE HONEST with you. The cliche "It's the thought that counts," well, counts. However, the reality is we also would like to receive what we "really want" for Christmas. And I also want to help those who intend to give me gifts this Christmas ...and, ehmmm alright, my birthday too on Jan 10 (since most of them buy 1-give 1 anyway) and I don't want to keep them guessing. So here goes...

Best of Bukas Palad 1&2 (vocals and minus-one).
I saw the latest concert of Bukas Palad last month at Ateneo Gesu featuring their latest album Hindi Kita Malilimutan and one othe BP members gave me a free cd. I was delighted to see that Minus ones of the Best of Bukas Palad were being sold but I didn't have money.

July 28, 2007. One of my best Saturdays ever.
My SFC sister Joyce Perez texted me an invitation to a Healing Concert featuring a certain Father Suarez. I replied, "Who is he? Totoo ba yan!?! Ano sakit mo?"
Joyce knows I have been suffering from stress-related vertigo and myofascia pain syndrome (muscle tension) but she said it isn't just for me and that she has sicknesses too that need healing . As I am a skeptic when it comes to "healing wonders," I was not very eager so I replied, "Alright, remind me again few days before the concert and probably I am already decided by that time."
So the plan pushed through as my July 28 Saturday schedule is not occupied nor preoccupied as it used to be on my saturdays. When we were on our way to ULTRA, we didn't know what to expect. We even got nervous as we recalled the wowowee tragedy... paano kung magkastampede at mamatay kami? Bad Joyce. Bad Naomi. I all of a sudden recalled the movie Leap of Faith where Steve Martin portrayed a bogus healer and people he healed were actually paid to act like they were being healed, so I was expecting scenes like people collapsing, getting hypnotized - the typical healing scenarios I see on TV.
However, it wasn't what I expected.
It was a night of praise, song and worship. Kuya Biboy (in the guitar) , Kuya Wally (with the choir) and Ate Eileen (in the piano) our SFC brothers and sister were even on the stage performing. I was singing, with them. Yeah... parang EL SHADDAI or BORN AGAIN you might say but it was more than that. I was praying.
I was praying with Joyce as we sang with the people there with our hands lifted up. Bro. Bob Serrano, the coordinator spoke, " TO BE HEALED, WE NEED TO FORGIVE." This was the first message that caught my attention. And as I prayed and sang, I didn't just pray for my physical sickness, I prayed for healing wounds that I have caused and what others have caused me. I prayed for my enemies, people who have hurt me. I prayed for a forgiving heart that would overrule hatred and anger. I prayed to God to help me forgive myself. I also prayed for Nanay, my lola who has cancer.
The sick people who had illnesses worse than mine -- people with cancer, heart diseases, with excruciating physical pain in their bodies -- were there too-- standing, singing, and praising God. We paid 200 bucks for our tickets, but it wasn't business. It was a benefit concert, where on that night we were able to contribute to the 1.2M for Gawad Kalinga, an organization dedicated in building homes for the poor.
The concert ended at 920pm, it wasn't that late so we decided to go to Oyster Boy which made the night even more memorable. We spent only P400 ++ in this one of the new restos at Metrowalk:
1. Check their Oyster-inspired wall and ceiling... interesting huh?
2. Korean Beef stew for P130
(We love it! I like it better than Chocolate Kisses' in UP Dil)
3. Brewed coffee (refillable + a small brownie) for P55
4. Oyster Rockefeller (6 pieces) for P155
5. Comment: They need to hire more waiters and waitresses! For faster and better service nga e. We were getting impatient. There were only 3 waiters and the resto was full of people. I would have had more refills (than my 2 refills) in my brewed coffee but it was taking too long to get just 1 refill. Sad.
Thanks to this cute little midget though, who entertained us as we strolled along Metrowalk; he would give Dagul a run for his money.
Thanks Joyce. Napakasuwerte kong magka sister in Christ na tulad mo. Indeed, WhatahSahturday night it was!
Jesus said, "I am the Lord your God, your healer. By my wounds you are healed."

Hello fellas...
Sa mga musikero at mahilig magdownload ng mga musika jan.. another good news for ye'all!
My first cousin ANNE FERNANDO will be releasing her debut album in summer 2008. She migrated to Canada a decade ago with her family. Tito Jojie, her dad is my mom's younger brother and if ever you read my previous posts, I wrote about their family owned O THAI restaurant in Vancouver.
I hope you could check out on her 4 downloadable music, especially "See you AGAIN" which is good music, quite popsy and danceable. The 4 songs are like J Lo danceable music so you might want to play it in clubs or parties.
Her link is: http://www.myspace.com/annefernandomusic
Be proud of a Pinoy. Tangkilikin ang sariling atin, ang musika ng isang kababayan na si ANNE FERNANDO.
I hope some of you, especially my friends who are hopelessly romantic and keep bugging me on what-to-do and what-not-to-do with their errrrrrrs *bleep*holes :P saw the best episode of AI's season 4. Rather than talk about the Revenge of the Sith which I saw 6 hours ago (in which my highly positive opinion does not belong to the view of the majority which is "OKAY... LANG" or "ANG PANGIT!" or "SIYA ANG PINAKA PANGIT NA EPISODE!!!"), I'd rather share what I had experienced 9 hours before that - which is the best show I've watched on our not-too-big but gave-a-blast TV screen, that is American Idol 2005's season finale. It was a replay but I never realized how much I've missed not seeing it live, until I saw it. Oh well, it's still the same - live or replay - but the intensity, excitement and suspense is less on the latter.
It's 2:30am and I keep myself alive and sanguine by listening perpetually to my my most recent limewire downloads, that are Carrie's songs such as her duet with Rascall Flatts in God Bless The Broken Road and Bo Bice in Up Where We Belong. 
They sang the songs with so much soul and passion, I kept jumping up and down on my seat and applauding - Clap clap clap!!!! As if I was actually in L.A.'s Kodak Theatre... hehe :P
Anyway, to all those on a broken road right now.. do not falter :). Just listen...
Bless The Broken Road
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
