Hey, Big Spender!

A couple of friends and I went to watch Sweet Charity at RCBC Tower in Makati yesterday! Yes, that exclamation point just indicated my... wait for it, extreme happiness! :)

Of course, for musicals like this that cost 10 times your movie ticket, I expected it to be BIG. And I was not disappointed.

Sweet Charity was, as I expected it to be, fun, light and entertaining. The show also managed to make a surprise through its stage design and lighting. I didn't expect it to have a lots of extra actors and actresses, too. Actors in plays usually portray double roles and sometimes back up minor or unnecessary roles. But in Sweet Charity, there were unnecessary silent characters that made the show more festive. (Sounds like big budget for me. Hehe)

Speaking of characters, the casting was great! Charity Hope Valentine's character fit Nikki Gil very well--so cute and fun. It's my first time to witness Nikki Gil's acting onstage. Though I was not able to watch her debut in Legally Blonde a couple of years ago, I read a few reviews about it that said that Nikki's performance lacked mastery. In Sweet Charity, I think Nikki Gil's act was clean and good. Her energy was very consistent. As for Kris Lawrence, the exagerrated acting was hilarious, but his voice made it even better. His soft and cool singing clearly portayed Oscar Lindguist's sweet and innocent personality. All other actors in the play greatly contributed to this materpiece. To name some, OJ Mariano, Ciara Sotto, Sheree and Shiela Valderrama-Martinez were amusingly great to do hilarious Mary-Jane-inspired Rhythym of Life act and Greek accents.

Today's the last day of showing of Sweet Charity. You still got time to catch Sweet Charity and experience the same fun as I did. :)

PS. The programme was for free, by the way. :)

Fingers Crossed


Isn't Twitter made for stalking? Even if it's not really made for that goal, it works that way.


When I checked on my twitter a while ago, Atom Araullo tweeted this:



And my reaction... "Is he going to Sweet Charity this week???" Oh my. I really hope he does. And I hope he goes to the play on the same day as my friends and I are going. Really. I am. Hoping.

No Hidden Agenda. Just Blogging.

Bloggers, like me, often put up blogs to... uhm... share some bits of information or some bits of their lives and... wait it for it... earn money! Yes, I think one of the major reasons I have this blog is to earn money. That is why I have ads bubbling around the corner of this blogs. And that was what I aimed. Now that I could not really focus on blogging, it has just become a blabbing area for me.

When I was introduced to Gus Cosio's blog in line with my new "engagement in life" (that is, investing in stock market), I was amazed at how clean and organize the page is. It is very reader-friendly! And, if you notice, there are no ads! How cool is that?

Baon from Spiral












Went food tripping at Spiral last night with officemates. Darn, lugi ako. Admittedly, I wasn't able to fully maximize the opportunity. It's not even half of what I ate during the eat-all-you-can I experienced in Hyatt last year. Sheesh. Uncooperative appetite!







Anyhow, I'm still experiencing the love of Spiral. Was able to take home some cookies from Spiral. It's not until this morning when I tried to eat one. I was preparing for my brunch that time and I was already really hungry. I should say that it was not because I was hungry. The cookies were really delicious! It got the rich taste of chocolate! It had the right amount of sweetness that doesn't call for tonsilitis. A love! :)
