A Poignant Relationship Emerge From Dancing Lessons




Last Thursday night my feet took me to Circuit City Makati - well to be honest, it was mainly for a press preview of a play named Dancing Lessons. You guys know I am not that good in intros so forgive me.

Synopsis.

 Dancing Lessons centers on Ever Montgomery, a science professor and Senga Quinn, a Broadway dancer. At top of her career, Senga is holed up in her apartment with a serious injury that threatens her career and identity. When neighbor Ever, a professor at New York Institute of Technology, with a condition that is fearful of touch, asks for a dancing lesson so he can deal with social intimacy (Handshaking, hugs, dancing) at an upcoming awards banquet that he was tasked to host. Through the lessons, a relationship slowly develops that has both individuals stepping out of their comfort zone. 

 Randy Villarama stars as Ever Montgomery while Jill Pena as Senga Quinn. Both actors did such an amazing job in portraying their roles. Their acting is very natural with high regards to Randy as he acted so believable.

One of the things this play tackles on is the autism spectrum which is a taboo subject in our culture - in any culture if you ask me. But in this play they gave autism a different face and personality. It shows a more tangible aspect of how people who have autism can still be a great part of our workforce and establish relationships like no other.


To be honest, this play pushed my memory back to the time I worked with someone who has autism. I know he might be reading this or his mother might read this so yeah HI HELLO HOW ARE YOU haha. I won't go into too much detail of the play since it will have its second run this coming weekend at the MAC Spotlight Theater at 8PM so if you guys are interested make sure to catch it there!

Much Love!

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
