*Grave Diggers: HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

Six in the evening last March 19 in the current year, I was outside the CED mini theater waiting enthusiastically for the doors to open and watch the play entitled "Grave Diggers". 
From the title itself, you can already picture out what the setting would be. And yes, it is indeed in a cemetery. The moment the doors were opened, I was struck by their designs. It was pretty ACA-AWESOME. And their montage was great. Well, what would I expect from the IT students? They wouldn't be IT students if they suck at video production, right. (I'm ranting, sorry.)

I was busy talking to my friends that I didn't noticed there are "dead people" walking in the aisle already. I was terrified a bit (YES! A BIT ONLY). The beginning was nice but then when the scene of Augustin (the lead actor) and Mang Nicholas (his in-law) began, my eyebrows started to form a one line. My forehead is creasing because I can't understand anything they are saying. I have to ask my seatmate what the heck they were talking about. And also their scene was too long and it's so boring. And the "ghosts", they did nothing. Just stood in that one corner of the stage and started to turn around until the end of the show. What was that supposed to mean? Not that I'm bashing them, just saying the truth here. 


But despite all the negatives I've said above, I still applaud them  for making us laugh. And I know it is not easy to present in front of a big crowd (though it's not that big)...still I can say A JOB WELL DONE for finishing the show.

*2 ( What You Will)


TWELFTH NIGHT is an enthralling and fascinating comedy play of William Shakespeare. If you’ll search in the web, you’ll find many critics giving it positive feedback Watching this play in front of you is something you will never want to miss. And last 6th of March in the year 2013, the third year AB English students of MSU-IIT had their stage play of this Twelfth Night. The casts were chosen very keenly. Each role was played well and you’ll never have any dissatisfaction.
The main character, Viola, was played by Miss Veronica Grospe. Viola, in the story, is a very brave and generous kind of girl. The moment when she found herself in a strange and unfamiliar place because of the shipwreck she had, she made the most clever and best strategy she could use. It was a great decision in choosing Miss Grospe as the Viola for she looks so alluring and very queenly that really suit her character in the story. She is very good in her acting. Whether she is a woman or disguised as a man. Then there is Olivia, the countess whom Orsino convinced himself that he was in loved with. The lady who played as Olivia is great as well. She’s full of grace that suits really well for a countess. And Orsino who was played by one of my block mates, April Ian Jacob, is the Duke of Illyria. He fits for the role well because he looks so powerful and has that influencing kind of ambiance around him. And the rest of the cast also did a great job in portraying their roles. They didn't fail me with my whole expectation for the show. No frustrations at the end of the show unlike the other show I had watched. And not to forget, their English is really great.
The whole play had entertained me well. I was awed.

High as the Rooftop

      Ever cried so hard you awoken your board mates at 3am? Ever had that stabbing feeling within your chest just by listening to an OST? Yes, that’s exactly how I felt these past few days. And no, I’m not the stereotypical hopeless romantic or the cliched drama queen. I’m just your average college girl, fully dedicated to finishing the Koreanovela, Rooftop Prince.

*(1) The Show


I sat there at one of the bleachers in the gymnasium waiting for the show to start. The place was dim. Only few lights were lit. I watched as a video was playing in front, something like a trailer about the show, maybe. It showed different types of people performing their own traditional dances. Somehow, it made the excitement in me raised.

It was my first time seeing them performs in my naked eyes. I've heard many positive feedback about them that it made my expectations to them raised so high.

The show was about the tri-people here in Mindanao living together. It showed the tales of love, folk legends, the conflicts of tradition and modernity, the concern for the environment, and the comic follies of the folks here in Mindanao. How every man in each kind protects and treasures their women.Through dancing, their entertaining and colorful stories were displayed. It was a one powerful performance.

It never fails to amaze whenever I can see some of them running back to the stage to perform again and again. But despite all of the running they made, the sweat that flows in their faces, you can still see their wide smiles. Smiles that made me also smile while watching them. They indeed are giving me an outstanding show. I love every part of it specially the “Pilimon” part. They’re not just good at dancing, but as well as in acting.

When the show comes to its end, when they were waving their goodbyes to the audience, I can see the happiness in their faces. They had succeeded in sharing the Mindanao cultures over the country and into the world.




BE PROUD TO BE HERE in MINDANAO :)

Song Joong Ki's Confession


Song Joong Ki confessed that he’s still attached to his first love.
On the 16th, KBS 2TV‘s ‘Nice Guy‘ held a press conference in Seoul to commemorate the show coming to an end. When asked about his character and acting opposite Park Si Yeon, Song Joong Ki stated, “Men can’t forget their first love. That’s why my scenes with Park Si Yeon’s character are memorable.”
He went on, “I think a first love means a lot to men, which is why the themes of ‘Wolf Boy‘ and ‘Introduction to Architecture‘ must have felt more real to their audiences. I watched ‘Introduction to Architecture’ four times. But [Wolf Boy's audience] won. I also can’t forget my first love, but she’s already married.
In related news, the final episode of ‘Nice Guy’ received an 18% in viewer ratings, making it the most watched program in its time slot.
