Happy Holidates!

Iloilo, January 1, 2015 :)


What now

I wish I had my life figured out by now. I guess this is normal, at this age and point in time. Not knowing what to do or where to go. I used to be so sure of my plans in life for the next 10 years, now I'm not so sure if I still want these things, or that I should pursue them because these are my dreams. Or were my dreams.

Who has answers to these things anyway?! Who has got it all figured out, and is completely happy and contented with his life?

I wish life were simpler.


Like figuring out the world, whether I was the world or the world was I. Recognizing and familiarizing myself with faces, and appreciating the people who truly care and matter to you.

On a lighter note, happy happy birthday Daddy! I miss you so much. I can't wait till you get home. By then, this photo will reproduce itself, but will age by a generation. Hihi #PaCryptic Chos. Love you dad! Thank you for everything :)

To my super secret super fan, I love you! This post is not entirely about you (sorry to keep your hopes up haha) but I want you to know that I am simply happy because I have you now. :) #QuesoDeBola #Brie #Camembert #Gouda #Mozzarella #Parmesan #Feta Love you!

J

I have something new in my life. So new in fact, that the last time I had something like this was, let's say, never. You can't count what happened in grade school, we were kids, we played hide and seek; hid in the bushes, sought for our identities. Chos.

To finally knowing what love feels like on both sides. To give love, and have it returned a hundred fold. For knowing that it is not only you having butterflies, rainbows and unicorns. For knowing, and feeling that all this isn't just in your mind. It's real.

To finally having someone who wants to make you happy. To having someone who works hard to make you happier everyday, to exceeding expectations, and to simply be happy because of this person's existence.

To looking forward to the weeks, months, years, to a lifetime of all this "realness". To the plans we're making, and to the direction where we're taking "us" to. To whatever will happen, to however we get through things, to the tomorrow that we're never really sure of. It's comforting to know that despite all these uncertainties, right now, you're the only thing I'm sure of. Sabi nga ni Blaire Waldorf (pahiram muna te) "I'm in. I'm all in."

Barely a week, or a month, and I still haven't gotten the hang of it. I've been in a relationship with myself for too long, that having another physical human entity exist with you is so surreal. We are moving too fast. And I think partly because there is a deadline. 

But I am so in love, it is sickeningly mushy and disgustingly cheesy. I usually gawk at couples who can't keep their hands off each other in public places, but (I can't believe I'm saying this) I understand them now. Like you said, the world blacks out, and the only thing you see is me. And everytime you look at me, you look at me like I'm some scientific formula that only you have discovered, except that you look at me lovingly. Argh, I seriously haven't gotten the hang of it, so I'm sorry if I can't spoonfeed you without cringing under my dress, or if I distract myself with something else just so I can stop myself from stealing a kiss from you. I cannot help myself everytime I'm with you. I want to help myself with you. 

I know this is all too fast, but whatever, I love you J. I really do.

Better

That didn't all happen in just one night. I didn't notice things getting better for me. I'm much happier now, I think. I feel that things are going up from here, nothing to worry about, just keeping myself happy for the days to come.

And, just many other things that's has been making me smile lately. :)

Yay!

MUSIKAL!

The Cultural Center of the Philippines is celebrating its 45th year with "MUSIKAL" featuring box office, critically acclaimed original Filipino musicals during the last five years. It will be directed by CCP Vice President and Artistic Director Chris Millado, under the musical direction and arrangement of Jed Balsamo (Sandosena's musical director!), accompanied by the Philharmonic Orchestra lead by Gerard Salonga.


THIS SHOW IS GOING TO BE MAGICAL. All your favorite musicals and theater artists, the brilliance of Philharmonic Orchestra, all in one show.


And I will be part of this. SO. STOKED. Batang Rizal will also be part of this, together with Sandosenang Sapatos and Bluebird of Trumpets under the Children's Musical Theater Category.


Last night at the Tech-Dress Rehearsals, I was so amazed, so star struck to share the stage with some of my favorite theater artists and to see my favorite musicals once more!

PETA's CAREDIVAS!

I envy those who have lots of quick changes for this show because they are involved in several productions. That should be my goal. To be part of as many productions as possible in the next 5 years. Check that, Timee.

MAXIE The Musical!
 
SA WAKAS

ZSAZSA ZATURNNAH ZE MUZIKAL
We'll be playing the zombies for the Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah number, with the song "Multo ng Nakaraan", one of my faaaavorite songs from the musical!! Such an honor to be a zombie!

But the real bad asses (for me) are the guys from Ballet Philippines. They are so cool. They'll be performing excerpts from "[Rock] Supremo" serenaded by Mr. Ebe Dancel himself, and "Ramahari" with Karylle and OJ Mariano.

[ROCK] SUPREMO

RAMAHARI
I've never seen a Ballet Philippines production, but these guys are bad asses, just watching them from the backstage. *creep* I wish I was a ballerina. The ballet guys (what do you call male ballerinas anyway?) are hot too. I should go see more of their shows. I should have more ballerina friends. I should be a ballerina.

So anyway, I was telling a friend how worried I was because this was my first CCP Main Theater performance, and I was thinking of all the possible ways I could screw this up, and how I should prove that I deserve to share the stage with the other big theater artists, or to even be on the very same stage Wicked and Phantom of the Opera has performed in. He wasn't a theater person, so he put it in basketball terms, in light of Gilas' win last night "Alam mo, sa basketball, wala namang pinagkaiba kung sa araneta ka o sa madison square garden ka naglalaro" 

A reminder that we are all on the same stage because of one reason; theater. #WeLoveOurJobs


So please just shut up, call CCP and buy a ticket. Bring your family, your friends, your ka-Tinder to this once in a lifetime performance. (Well twice, Sept 5 and 6) Whatever. Just go see this.

See you!
