TP's Eyeball: 'Timelessly Relevant'

2012-02-06T21:08:00.000+08:00

I just love how theater performances move me and make me contemplate on things, even just the simple play on words! This weekend was no exception as Tanghalang Pilipino brought back 4 original Filipino plays from Virgin Labfest into two sets of twin bills in "Eyeball: New Visions in Philippine Theater" to cap their 25th season. I was extremely grateful to be invited to this event by Hogi

To A Decade of "Golden" Friendship

2012-01-23T15:14:00.006+08:00

... well, almost 1 decade just a few months from now. We became friends in a very curious way. But nevertheless, you've showed me what true friendship's about. How to fight for, cry with and go through life with a friend. I remember the "diary" we had and all the insane things we did and said back when we were younger. Oh, yeah those days. :) But not only was I blessed with a friend, I was

Happy Fourth

2012-01-20T22:29:00.004+08:00

"Happy Monthsary, hon! Ay, anniversary na pala... tagal na nating 'di nagkita eh!" ~Fjordz Every single "hirit" that comes from him becomes the funniest lines for me. Maybe I'm just "mababaw". Or maybe that's love or something. Haha! :) Anyway, last night was yet another lovely night for me and my love. We attended the red carpet premiere of Underworld: Awakening in 3D at SM North Edsa

Where Will My Feet Take Me This 2012?

2012-01-11T23:20:00.002+08:00

I'm back... Hello 2012! For the past few days, I've been thinking of an appropriate post for the New Year but obviously I couldn't think of any. My mind just seems to be bursting with so much ideas and plans of what I want to do for this year - my career, travels, getting in touch with friends and so on... Even at this very moment, I can't clearly sum it all up. They're pretty much jumbled

Surprisingly Vibrant

"Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be."Though the start of 2011 has been a rough one for me, I'm glad that I chose to embrace this rollercoaster of a year. Now, everything's brighter and more colorful! Because of Him, everything found its meaning and purpose. And with all the wonderful people in

It Takes Two To Tango

2011-12-29T23:56:00.005+08:00

After 39 years of marriage, I still don't know how they keep things going. Maybe this holds true for my "parentals":"Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years." ~Simone SignoretI've seen them work through the ups and downs just like any married couple. Though no relationship's ever perfect, still they strive to do

An Unexpected Kind of Happiness

2011-12-27T23:05:00.013+08:00

Let's rewind to last Thursday (12.22.2011)...Honestly, I don't like celebrating my birthday. As far as I can remember, I always get this funny/morbid feeling whenever it's my turn to celebrate this special day. Though I'm glad that me and my brother don't share the same birth date, though we were supposed to (long story, trust me). But fact is, I couldn't shake off my system the "negatives vibes"

On Courage and Love

“To be brave is to love someone unconditionally,without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage...because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt." ~Madonna

A Not-So Sunset Run

2011-12-13T14:00:00.003+08:00

After work on Saturday (12.10.2011), me and Fjordz headed off to Bonifacio Global City for Sun Life Financial's SunPIOLOgy Sunset Run (for the benefit of the Hebreo Foundation). Yes, Papa P was there for the 10K run - don't ask again (lol). Moving forward >>>Frankly, it's my first time to join an actual race though I've been running (just for exercise and the sake of losing weight) since early

'Coz It's Bigger Than Coffee

2011-12-12T22:19:00.009+08:00

Everyone knows that my blood's literally composed of 75% coffee, so it's no wonder that I'm on my 6th year of collecting the Starbucks planner.This year, I was initially hesitant to collect stickers since I always have a habit of abandoning my planner halfway through the year plus the fact that I need to save up on my upcoming travels for next year. Well, I still update it from time to time but

Sticky Note from God

2011-11-02T18:53:00.014+08:00

On this day of your life, Faye, we believe God wants you to know ... that every relationship rests on three legs: accepting, supporting and challenging.That's really it, isn't it? You want your relationships to be grounded on accepting each other as you are. On supporting each other through the inevitable ups and downs. On challenging each other to become more, to grow, to flourish. Which one of

Surprise, surprise! Wicked is celebrating it's 8th anniversary on Broadway!I remember the first time I got to listen to this musical's soundtrack back in 2007 and in a snap - I became a fan. No questions asked. Just. Amazing. Whimsical. Intense. Awesome.And yes, I've always dreamed of playing Elphaba. *drools*But for now, enjoy this clip!

Maintaining Positivity

2011-10-25T15:18:00.007+08:00

I'm a notorious pessimist. I know, I know. But I'm trying to veer away from this emotionally-damaging attitude.These days, I get those "attacks" of negativity. I can't even clearly pinpoint the source of it. That was why I ranted a lot of mood-swing-worthy tweets for the past few days. Again, I apologize. *sigh*I'm brooding over a problem not worthy of constant worrying. Gets?Good thing I read

Though I thought that today I'll end up having not-so-lively classes because my usual favorites aren't around, I was still flattered by my student's comments:[6:30:03 PM] T: You are class is every time nice. And my father said, the teacher is best some minutes ago. (sun) (sun)[6:31:10 PM] T: See you next class (F)oOo[7:01:35 PM] O.F: Thank you!!! You are very good teacher (surprised)~~'Wag

A Different Perspective

2011-10-19T15:47:00.004+08:00

I remember back in high school, we were asked to read The Purpose Driven Life for our CLE class. My 13-year-old self thought it was just like any other book - and now I can say that it isn't. I'm glad that I picked up the copy given to me two years ago by Ms. Cora Claudio of Earth Asia. Right now, I definitely have a different perspective on this book. I can't say what it is exactly, but I

Life's A Beautiful Mess

2011-10-08T22:21:00.002+08:00

"Let go of pride and surrender to love. Live a beautiful life."I remember re-tweeting this yesterday but it made more sense to me at this moment. Such beautiful words yet so hard to live out. Almost tragic. I recall my mom saying, "The right amount of pride is vital in life. Without it, you may lose yourself." - That's true. I'm not even going to argue with her about it. Yes, pride IS one of the

It's Friday, Fridayyy!

2011-10-07T15:14:00.003+08:00

... gotta get down on Fridayyy~Okay, that song's passé - I know, I know. But after such a long time, it feels good to actually NOT go to work on a Friday on either of my two part-time jobs.And after such a LONG time, I was able to do an early morning jog. Perfect weather, indeed! A little foggy and kind-of chilly... but still good! :)But since our DSL's going loco again, I'll try to upload the
