Imagine having everything you ever wanted - A high-paying job, a loving and supportive relationship and a great support group but there is a catch - You become HIV Positive. Will your life ever be the same? That is the story of Ben, the main character for Roses for Ben that will be opening this June 15. I had a chance see a preview and meet the cast of this one of a kind musical that tackles HIV awareness last Saturday at Artist Playground Arts and Performances. They have partnered with Red Whistle and Twelfth Studios to present this new original OPM Musical in lieu for the Gay Pride Month 2019. Rayne Jarabo , a young communication arts student from the University of Sto. Tomas wrote the book and lyrics for 'Roses For Ben' with Musical direction of Jesse Lucas, Assistant Musical Direction by Arnold Bascal, Choreography by Lezlie Dailisan and direction by Roeder Camanag. As a millenial, I do have some friends and have interactions with those that have HIV and they hav...

One of my fondest memories as a child was listening to my grandmother sing classic Filipino songs like the Kundiman or folk songs from her province as she was born in Carigara, Leyte. Reminiscing on these makes me feel older (Yes I know don't push it that I am THAT old) but it also makes me happy because I might be one of the few that enjoyed those before the digital era came. And as June is coming up, there would definitely Independence day celebrations in every part of the metro and I would suggest checking out Ephesus Teatron Group Inc. REMINISCENCES - A celebration of 121 years of Philippine Independence Featuring TRIBU. I had the chance to have a sneak peek of their performance earlier featuring some of their songs for the program. And hearing these songs reminded me of childhood memories with my grandmother. Their repertoire is composed of unforgettable patriotic songs of freedom, love and inspiration to commemorate our 121st Independence day. The event will be h...

DAY 2 NA INDAY! While writing this I might mess up on some of my grammar because DUH I HAVE 10 MINUTES TO BLOG so please forgive me! Honestly one of my biggest downfalls is being disciplined enough to go through a routine. I usually procrastinate which leads to cramming thus sometimes I mess up. Its normal though but I really need to change that habit of mine. Today I started to make a schedule of things to film, edit and post on my main channel. Its quite exhilarating if you ask me because I didn't know that I have so much material to use for my main channel! Unfortunately that doesn't seem to come forward with my blog. I am working on it though because as much as possible, even if its hard I will try my best to write every single day. I am also practicing the art of organization ala Marie Kondo. I am planning on selling some of my unused make up which are still okay or just possibly give them away if there are people interested in them. I need to make my day as ...

Honestly doing this challenge is a big step because I know I might fuck up (and yes I am not afraid to say it) because I know to myself that I easily get bored of doing 30 day challenges but I want to do this because of the following: 1. For instilling discipline in myself. I am not a person who likes routines, but in my age I.FREAKIN,NEED.TO.HAVE.IT! I know I have to determination to stick to this so that is why I am challenging myself further of posting daily compared to before.  2. To be accountable for my actions.  Don't get me wrong in this, but whenever I make a promise to myself I stick to it like super glue because I know that if I break that it will just make me fall further down the line. I need to be accountable for my actions and my decisions so I will do this challenge and possibly continue doing it more.  3. I want to have something to read back.  Later on I know I will go back to my previous posts to be able to see how much I hav...
