early morning walk at bgc

Lea Salonga with the BYU Chamber Orchestra

Now it is clear to me why she was considered as one of the world's finest---having the powerful voice and "perfect pitch".

Way beyond that, what makes her deserve the Tony Awards and what makes the world got captivated is the way she sings, as if she has a very crucial message to tell and one ought to listen to her story.

She wants you to feel the pain, the sorrow and the wonders of how human should live. All of her performances made me hop from one musical/broadway/stage production to another. From Cats, West Side Story, Miss Saigon, Disney OSTs to Les Misérables. It was one of those nights that I can tell to myself: "i am having the BEST night of my life"

Truly, it was a musical treat.

bag of beans, tagaytay

when you feel you were stuck in manila for a long time and wish to ride a random bus to escape from city life and the stench of it, this is one of those places you wanna end up with. above the mountain and having a nice view of the lake, having breakfast here is a gastronomic treat...and when you have this post lunch syndrome and get sleepy, you can just have your eyes wander with the clouds which are just floating so close right above you.

Mayuko Kamio - Tchaikovsky Competition

 

i am smitten with her even way back she won the Gold Medal in the 13th International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow 10 years ago, until now i wont get tired listening to these series of violin concertos as she put a whole new level of mastery and the way she put meaning to Tchaikovsky's emotional masterpieces is no doubt: extra ordinary.

the pain, the struggle, the joy then the eargasmic feeling of reaching a certain climax, it's simply ecstatic!

if the the whole cast of "Lala land" brought me to re appreciate jazz and broadway musicals , Mayuko Kamio single handedly paved way for me to see, clearly, the beauty of classical music.

Bravo!

“People don’t take trips, trips take people.”

i found myself watching "Botched"

 

i found myself watching "Botched" series at E channel and get amused with patients who undergo procedures under Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif's scalpels. 

then an acquaintance in a club flaunt his newly done "nose job". it's really good and he has the same praises as those girls who just got out from extreme make over.

i gasped and asked: darn, how much? 

and the amount is something you can afford and save for if you dont splurge or eat for 3 months!

then, i was reminded that i have fetish with armpits and i love burrying my face whenever i really like someone's pits or tummy, so sabi ko " baka masubsub at masira lang ang ilong ko"

at the same time, one of the episodes in the above TV series struck me with this quote: 

"the best procedure that you've done to yourself is the one you shouldn't have done in the first place"

when you get lost track of time

..and be absorbed to where you are and to whatever you are doing, it may be just simply sipping a hot mug of coffee while reading your favorite novel, that's one of the best feelings in the world.

i guess one of the advantages of growing up in an island is that you learned how to be at peace with yourself and be one with the universe, not knowing that the people around you are already stressed and totally lost from their orbits.

I'm quite struck on how Alyssa Valdez accepted their defeat on her final play for UAAP.


Was comforted with her thought that it's not about winning all the time, it's about being passionate of what u really love doing and giving your best shot.
