RAK of Aegis 5.0 (not a review)

-
RAK's Final(/) run
We left the City of Parañaque at 4:43 PM, Philippine Standard Time, but we arrived at the PETA Theater Center during the intermission.  At least, we were still able to watch the second act and the two friends who went straight to the Theater, because of the power of modern technology(Viber/Email), were let in because I sent photographs of the bar codes and we sent them the confirmation email of the tickets.  At least, two of us were able to enjoy the whole musical. Along the way, we were already losing hope and joked that we were just going to say our hi's and hellos like we were just fetching our two friends.  Thank goodness, we still were able to watch Tanya Manalang as Aileen(our prayers were answered), Lorenz Martinez as Kiel, his lovely wife, Shiela Valderrama-Martinez as Kapitana Mary Jane, Kakai Bautista as Mercy, Kiel's wife and Aileen's mother, Jerald Napoles as Tolits, and THE Jon Santos as Fernan.
I've seen a version of this in the past, with Robert Seña and Isay Alvarez.  It was brilliant back then, but the show we've seen a few hours ago, added some sugar and spice, making it a totally new experience.

It was hard to buy tickets for the five of us. Only three were available for the Orchestra Center, but thankfully, we had space at the Orchestra Side.  
We laughed along with the crowd because of the punch lines and we also felt the other emotions the songs and the actions wanted to convey. We enjoyed watching the "non-acting" Phi Palmos as Jewel. The lines were delivered in a very witty and convincing manner. 

 EVERYOne did well and I am not just saying that.

People were trying to catch Mr. Jon Santos' attention


I was tempted to ask her to pose with me, but she was in a hurry, so I just took pictures


With THE Jon Santos (he never ceases to amaze me)



With Ms. Carla Guevara-Laforteza

The four(4) Aileens: Aicelle Santos, Kim Molina, Tanya Manalang and Alisah Bonaobra






I know it might take a while, but I really hope this is NOT the final run.  A lot of people still want to watch this in the future, so I am crossing my fingers that there will still be a RAK of Aegis 6.0 ++++

 I missed the chance of watching Tricia Jimenez, so I really, really hope they would re-stage this show.  Please, please, please...pretty please.  

 KUDOS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS MUSICAL!


Location: PETA Theater Center, 5 Sunnyside Dr, New Manila, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines

EX with BENEFITS (2015) R-13

How do I describe this movie without giving spoilers?  Hmm.  Let me think.  Ah, I think I know how.  Directed by Gino M. Santos Written by Jeff Stelton and Keiko Aquino Loosely based on or inspired by the  Wattpad   sensation by  youramnesiagirl  of the same title, is a story of finding your self worth and about living.  It's also about relationships not of the romantic kind and about responsibility.  This movie is NOT all about sex.  There's more to it than that .  It also doesn't stereotype med reps and doctors. Things like these  happen whatever profession or non-profession you are in, and even if there are people like that  in real life, we must believe that there are more people who live life with integrity(listen to Carmi Martin's lines somewhere in the movie), so please don't be scared to watch this. This movie is about loving, losing, sacrificing, being selfless et cetera, et cetera .  It's about many things, and sex is just a part

Barbie and Her "Kens" (A Dollywood Title) #TeamYuan #KenBie My bubble was burst when the last scene after the credits was shown.  JEYA (Jai, Ethan, Yuan and Andoy) just woke up from a heavy night and they were wondering what happened then in big bold letters this was shown on the TV screen:  Ano nga ba? SOON! Ngarks. I was already very happy that BARBIE (Forteza as Billie Bendiola) and KEN (Chan as Yuan Lee or Lee Yuan) ended up together.  I even shouted it out via FB(viewed by Friends of Friends) then as I was enjoying the after credits scenes, the very last one was that messy pool scene. Everything was just a dream! Come on! I know it's fiction, but to play with our emotions like that?  That is such BS. If I only knew that they'd do that, I would've finished Father Rio's send off party.  :-p  It's different when people wake up from a nightmare, but my goolai.  Why did they have to make it a dream?  If they want Barbie(at least h

When The Love Is Gone (Graded A by the Film Ratings Board) R-13 Romance/Drama- 2013

Official Trailer When I heard Alice Dixson utter the classic infamous line, "Nandiyan ba ang asawa ko, na asawa mo, na asawa ng buong bayan?" in the trailer of WHEN THE LOVE HAS GONE,  I said to myself, "Wait, I've heard that line before!" Or something to that effect.  I was not wrong.  Something similar to those lines were uttered by Laurice Guillen as Delza in NAGALIT ANG BUWAN SA HABA NG GABI (click to read the story written and directed by Danny L. Zialcita...Since the blogger doesn't know the name of the actor who played Antonio Almeda aka UP Boy, I'll tell you that his name is Tommy Alvarado)---more below Alice Dixson, Gabby Concepcion, Cristine Reyes, Andi Eigenmann and Jake Cuenca Source Except for the very long title(in terms of syllables), the movie this one was based on, is very beautiful.  When Janice de Belen played the role of Jenny, I felt her pain...her agony.
