Just finished chatting with Chari... Thought I'd post some pics from my weekend before I give Andrei a call and fall asleep.Went to Macau yesterday. For dinner. Love it. Spur of the moment trip with Jaime, Shiela and Loy. Took the ferry and landed in what is a unique mix of Portugal and China. Dig the architecture... and my double chin.     We food tripped. Tried some fried squid on the sidewalk. Fish balls atbp. Passed by one those restaurants with moving trays of sushi...  Then we asked a cab to take us to a place that we've heard and heard about. Fernandos. Or as some of the locals call it, Felandos. Yuummy food. A bit isolated but FULL! They also had a wall full of international money... can you find the 20 peso bill?  The ferry ride back was hell. The seas were rough and turbulent. Felt like any moment, the ferry would capsize. There were even two crashes which got everyone in the ferry screaming... and vomiting. Yuck. We were glad to be back on land. Shiela says, never again. Oh dear. San Francisco and New York are getting closer and closer... Saw The Hours the other day. Depressing movie. Fascinating. But depressing. Watched an interesting episode of Frasier a while ago. A simple scene. The woman, who is a radio office person, was going out with a garbage man, but eventually broke up with him after realizing that his profession was something she could never be comfortable with. She has a kid. In the scene, the woman tries to explain why they broke up "mommy works in an office and he works in a truck.. it's complicated." Little girl says "but I like him" Woman replies "I like him too" Little girl, naively, "So?" *silence* Woman runs out and reconciles things with him. It's a choice. We can complicate situations or we can choose love. Sometimes it's not that easy. And sometimes, which is more often than not, it is. Uncomplicated love. That's the golden ticket. buy me a rose call me from work open a door for me what would it hurt? show me you love me by the look in your eyes these are the little things I need the most in my life rhapsody [

Now calling Whitney and Mariah fans with a sense of humor...I couldn't stop laughing. And I needed it. Long week. Bad day in the universe. Madness. Went DVD shopping to get my mind off things. Can't wait for Manila. Bu! Day off tomorrow... I'm already there. rhapsody [

If you're a fan of Whitney Houston, like yours truly, and have a sense of humor, you will LOOOOOVE this...Funny... I have a feeling Filipinos were more interested in who was being ousted from American Idol than the president being ousted from Malacanang. Welcome to Edsa Revolution, season 4... rhapsody [

CELIEGod forgot about me! SHUG God takin' his time getting around to you, I admit, but look at all he give us. Laughin', and singin', and sex. Sky over our heads, birds singin' to us. I think it piss God off if anybody even walk past the color purple in a field and not notice it. He say, "look what I made for you" CELIE God just another man, far as I'm concerned, he triflin' and lowdown... SHUG No, Celie. God not some gloomy old man like the pictures you seen of him. God not a man at all. It's so easy to lose faith in times like this. Stampedes. Religious riots. Mudslides. Bird flu. I've never really believed in God. In fact I've spent a lot of time and energy trying to disprove that God exists. But I hope that you are able to believe in God. Because the thing that I've come to realize sweetheart is that it just doesn't matter if God exists or not. The important thing is for you to believe in something cause I promise you that that belief will keep you warm at night and I want you to feel safe always. *sigh* You have to believe there's a reason for everything. Believe in it so hard, you feel like your head is gonna explode and your clenched fist starts to bleed. Hang in there and believe that everything will be all right. Somehow. The good lord works in mysterious ways. rhapsody [

"You taught me about concentration. At first I thought that meant just being still. But I was to understand it meant much more. It meant to tell me to be where I was. Not some place in the past or the future. I worried too much about tomorrow. I thought the world could be perfect. I was wrong..."I found the DVD from which came the above quote... rhapsody [

It's a beautiful Saturday morning here at planet Rhapsody. Just heated myself a filling breakfast of leftover adobo, rice from last night, scrambled eggs, and luncheon meat (canned good!? Aaahh!) And there's nothing quite like waking up in the morning, opening my balcony door, breathing in the fresh 12th floor air, looking out at my wonderful view and thinking... Damn, it's cold. *shut door* Colder than it's been all week. I've had a tiring but satisfying week of rehearsals and I'm looking forward to thought-free relaxation this weekend. *cue empty thought bubble* Going to Causeway bay later to meet up with an old college friend for coffee at 4, then I'll probably stay in the area and walk around. I'm trying to save for my big April vacation... (my boss said it's OKAY! Woohoo! start spreading the news... tan tan tatatan... oh and Hi Joy!) Am asking around for ticket prices and making sure I got a place to stay. I've listed the shows I wanna catch (in no particular order...): Wicked, I Love You Because, The Wedding Singer, Tarzan, Lion King, The Color Purple, The Light In the Piazza, and Bridge and Tunnel. So it doesn't look like I'm gonna eat for the next two months. haha... When in New York, right? What would make this trip perfection would be if Andrei was beside me on the plane and at every show... One day. Patience.Am loving Scrubs. Disc 3 is up to bat... Hehe, thanks to me, the new Lion King cast members are hooked on youtube.com. *evil grin* The Color Purple is available on iTunes! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm going back to sleep... rhapsody [

It's the day in between Valentine's and Andrei's birthday. Through a wonderful friend (thanks Chari) I was able to get something to him. Simple gifts. Check it out... The Brokeback Mountain book for his birthday tomorrow and Burt's Bees lotion for his rough feet for Valentine's yesterday. Really wish I was there to give it myself or do something like have Chari give it then I show up behind him tricks, but not this year. I look forward to the day though when we can celebrate both events here in Hong Kong. February looks like it's always gonna be busy cause of new recruits for our two shows in the park, Festival of the Lion King and The Golden Mickeys. We're in run throughs of Lion King with the new cast members and I am LOVING IT! Musical theater baby, there's nothing like it! Woohoo! And to be the musical director of these astonishing performers - it is an honor and thrill unlike any other. I'm so excited... bit by bit, piece by piece... Fingers crossed, hoping to get my April vacation leave approved tomorrow. Which means two whole weeks in the US! Fingers crossed. How did I spend Valentine's day you might ask... Disk 2, season one of Scrubs. *sigh* Check out my newest favorite clip on youtube.com right here. It's Kristin Chenoweth singing a song called "A Girl Like Me" at some college talk. It's her opening number for her Disney Hall concert later this month (SOOOO wish I could watch it). Written especially for her by the brilliant Andrew Lippa, who wrote Wild Party and additional music for You're A Good Man Charlie Brown (New Philosophy) It's hard to understand some of the lyrics cause of the quality of the audio, but here's what I could transcribe... (and she really is from Oklahoma... what a generous performer this woman...) I'm from oklahoma I got country in my veins Own a pick up truck with --------- I'm from oklahoma And I'm good at roping deer So won't somebody tell me? What am I doing here? What's a girl like me doing in a place like Dis-e-ney Hall? A girl like me ought to be at the shopping mall ----- and I know it's good that I got season passes down in Dollywood What's a girl like me doing in a place like Dis-e-ney Hall? I can do a line dance I got thirteen leather skirts Got a guitar and a six pack in the fridge -------------------- I'm scared someone will ask me Why don't you be the pig? What's a girl like me doing in a place like Dis-e-ney Hall? I'm the kinda girl who stands and cries out "Howdy y'all" -------------------- tell me, did Tanya Tucker ever play this joint? What's a girl like me doing in a place like Disney Hall? Mister whatever-his-name-is Disney Won't you say a prayer for me I wanna know if I can play this part Don't own a bel-air house Ain't friends with Mickey Mouse I just got rhinestones in my heart Let me see if i can, you know, fit in... (vocal gymnastics) And now i'm standing here like an oklahoma cactus No one will save me now Practice, practice, practice! What's a girl like her doing in a place like Disney hall ---------------------------- I should be impressed And I should bite my lip Near the Mississip What's a girl like me Who watches Court TV Doing in a place like Disney Hall? She's got such amazing stage presence, and it's all in her sutble but effective movements. I read a review which described her "like diamonds in wine". Wow... And her pitch!!! (hear her vocal gymnastics section... EASY!). Who knows, maybe one day... one fine day, i'll get to accompany that golden voice... hey, the art of the impossible is what my life is all about, haha. And the lyrics have sort of inspired me to go back to song writing. Random song writing. Novelty pieces. I just take a random situation, imagine I'm writing it for Kristin, and I should be fine. Get them creative juices flowing. Funnnnnnnnnnnnn. Ooh, one hour to go to Andrei's birthday. Favor. Greet him on his blog folks ok? Even if you don't know him... or if you read my blog and don't know me. PLEASEEEEEEEEE?!?! my Bu's another year older. *sigh* rhapsody [

Thanks to G! and C!, I had a relaxing evening last night. It got my mind off things and made me realize that I can rebuild the village of friendship I had left behind in Manila. With new faces, new conversations, I can find that familiar warmth. We watched Munich. Eric Bana is gorgeous. The movie is about assassins going after these terrorists. Violent, political eye-opener. Eric Bana is gorgeous. To think you can buy information about anyone in the world, scary. There was a strangely touching moment where the lead, Eric Bana, who is gorgeous by the way, turns down sleeping with this sexy woman cause he himself is married and wouldn't cheat on his wife who is far away, even if she would've never found out. Amusing. For a character who goes around killing people, he still holds on to the value of fidelity. It made him even more beautiful. We had capped the evening with a Vietnamese dinner and coffee at Starbucks in Lan Kwai Fong. Called it a night at 12... we're old! haha!Earlier yesterday, trying to snap out of my mood, I watched Waiting To Exhale. Old, old movie I had seen before, but perhaps I was too young to understand it. This movie has one of the best soundtracks known to man (Everyone falls in love sometimes. Sometimes it's wrong, sometimes it's right. For every win, someone must fail. But there comes a time when, when we exhale...) and has one of the most poignant phrases in life... especially when it comes to matters of the heart. "It hurts like hell" Nothing says it better. If you've ever been hurt so bad it feels like your lungs have caved in. There it is. I haven't felt like that in 2 years. *smile* But I remember. For those of you too young to know what the movie is about (bea!) it's about 4 black women and their search for love and self. Definite chick flick. I love the story line of Angela Basset, woman whose husband leaves her for a white woman. Down the road of her pain, she gets a letter from a man who is able to make her feel beautiful again. Her child, pointing out the window at the subsiding rain says "God stopped crying." Angela replies, "I don't think those were God's tears at all. Just his way of making sure everything keeps growing" Hay. Beautiful. I'm in a very love mood with Valentine's coming up. And Andrei's birthday. I'll miss him terribly this week. Wish I could just buy a ticket and surprise him like last time, but I'm being practical since I'll be there in March. As my dear high school friend always said, grin my teeth and bear it. Bu... I've been watching Scrubs all day, thanks to G! who lent me season 1. Loving it. It's well written insanity. Which is what life is. Crazy. But to find that sanity in the insanity of life, that's the key to happiness. Watching the lead, J.D. have to deal with people at work he doesn't like, made me realize that my adjustment period to work here is normal. As they say, if it doesn't kill ya... There's an episode that got me. J.D. had a patient who was in for possible lung cancer, the guy smoked way too much. When there was no cancer found, J.D. cared enough to warn him that he should cut down. Seriously. Minutes later, he sees the patient smoking again. J.D. seeks advice from his boss, who gives him only this... "All I'm saying is if you keep living and dying on whether or not a person changes, well, you're not gonna make it as a doctor. That's all" It's true. In life. Sometimes, you gotta accept that some people aren't meant for change. Some people don't listen to warnings. Some people can't see the bigger picture. And sometimes you gotta let go and pray that they know what they're doing. Turn a blind eye. Not cause you don't care, but because you can't anymore. But to be there perhaps when things fall apart, so you can fix their broken wing with a subtle "I told you so," and let them go again, that's a doctor's life. Sometimes. Sometimes, we gotta be doctors and wait for them to need us first. "It turns out, we can't save people from themselves newbie. We just treat them..." Same script, different cast. I'm feeling better. Back to work tomorrow. rhapsody [

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (echo)*sound of speeding train* I watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind tonight. Wondered for a bit. If I could delete the memory of someone from my life, who would it be? Who could I edit out of my life and I'd be much better for it? Or if I could delete a day. A night. An accident. A mistake. A car ride. A haircut. A personality (just kidding.. no i'm not... yes i am... no i'm...). An argument. A conversation. A feeling. Just the idea. Of selective memory erasure. No more forehead slapping. Not that it never happened. I just wouldn't remember it. Like going through the filing cabinet of my head and taking out dusty folders I'd rather not keep in stock. Then again why wait for the technology... think I'll spring clean my mental office this new lunar year. Let's start with my phone book... (if your link disappears from my sidebar, be afraid, be very afraid... hahaha... joke). I'm in a rotten, rotten mood. Physically exhausted plus a paintbrush of stress... I don't need this right now. Really. I'm going out tomorrow night, perhaps the company of friends will get my mind of things... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *sigh* rhapsody [

Not a lot of people will understand how sitting down on the piano for 4 straight hours, teaching choral parts to new singers can be quite, quite exhausting. Contrary to what some people might think, my fingers DO NOT get tired. Perhaps if I was rope climbing. Or hanging from a balcony. But on the piano, my fingers are most at ease. It's my back which seems to get heavier and heavier. It doesn't help that I have awful posture. Then there's the mental work on top of that, having to repeat parts over and over, adjusting to the learning of each singer. Not that I'm not used to it. It's my life and a fun part of it. I'm an accompanist at heart so nothing gets me higher than playing to the human voice. There's no stress involved at all (other people at work can cause that in less than 4 minutes). But it doesn't mean I don't get tired. What I used to do in Manila, as a rehearsal pianist and some workshops I'd rather forget, I'd auto-pilot. It's where I'm reading notes and playing but my mind isn't there. In this mode, I can play straight for a 6 hour rehearsal or do a 12 hour workshop day. I can be thinking about anything from what to eat for dinner to carrying a conversation with my page turner to solving a problem. Can't do that here. So my mind gets quite the work out the entire rehearsal. Tomorrow, I'm in for a full day of vocal rehearsals. Extra Joss... I need you.And in my exhausted state, nothing matters right now. Nothing. I don't care. There are plates in my sink. Clothes on the floor. Junk on the table. I look like crap. Everything that I worry about in life is amplified and solved with an "Oh F*ck it! blah blah blah" I remember how in Footloose it would help Ren and Ariel to shout out all their angst at the rail road track while a train was passing by. Hmm... the equivalent here would be the MTR... and I'd probably be arrested for shouting at the train (can you imagine?) I can shout on my balcony, but I've got neighbors. I need another blog. Uncensored rhapsody. I'll be back to normal tomorrow, but days like these though suck that I don't have Andrei to go home to or meet up with. *gloom* Think it's time to check into the Victorian spa at the hotel. Shout all my worries in bubbles in a jacuzzi. Aaahh... the thought. I'm better already. rhapsody [

Was chatting with Bobby today and we were talking about how to get a straight colleague to watch Brokeback Mountain... "Hey Russ, care to watch a cowboy movie this weekend?" And there it begins. And apparently Letterman has been having fun with it too (the ones I loved are in blue)Top Ten Signs You're A Gay Cowboy 10. "Your saddle is Versace" 9. "Instead of 'Home On The Range', you sing 'It's Raining Men'" 8. "You enjoy ridin', ropin', and redecoratin'" 7. "Sold your livestock to buy tickets to 'Mamma Mia'" 6. "After watching reruns of 'Gunsmoke', you have to take a cold shower" 5. "Native Americans refer to you as 'Dances With Men'" 4. "You've been lassoed more times than most steers" 3. "You're wearing chaps, yet your 'ranch' is in Chelsea" 2. "Instead of a saloon you prefer a salon" 1. "You love riding, but you don't have a horse" Not sure if this next one is from Letterman, but I found it quite funny. Top Ten Rejected Titles For 'Brokeback Mountain 10. "Not-That-There's-Anything-Wrong-With-That Mountain" 9. "How The West Was Hung" 8. "Little Bathhouse on the Prairie" 7. "For a Few Dollars More We Can Make It a Threesome" 6. "Go West, Young Man...Now South..A Little More To The South... Oh God, Yes! Right There!" 5. "Clint Eastwood's Nightmare" 4. "The Good, The Bad and The Fabulous!" 3. "Broke My Back Mounting Him" 2. "Oklahomo" 1. "Fun With Dick In James" Don't know when it's opening here, but can't wait to see it. Would've wanted to see it with Andrei but he watched it na. Grrr... oh well. I think deep inside my heart is a dancer waiting to break free. (?) I watched Lion King today with the new lighting. I love this one section of the opening number where everyone dances in this super festive kaleidoscope circle around the Storytelller who is belting fantastic adlibs above the other singers singing Swahili (did you catch all that?) I love watching the dancers. A part of me wants to get up there and dance. Perhaps I was a dancer in my past life. Now if I can just remember all those dance terms - arabesque, genevieve, pada de creme brulee... or perhaps not. One of the perks of the job is the preview I get of future Disney stuff. I got to listen today to the new Finding Nemo musical penned by the Avenue Q folks. LOVE IT! That's all I can say about it now... LOVE IT! And it looks like New York in April is becoming more and more a possibility. I wonder if the musical director of Hong Kong Disneyland can pull strings and get house seats to see the Disney musicals *hair flip*... Tarzan and Lion King! Here I come. I'm thinking, while I'm there, why not detour to Disneyland (california) and Disneyworld (florida)? Never been. I know the music directors there cause they were here for grand opening. Hmm... let's see. Business and pleasure trip. *fingers crossed* ooh, my new youtube.com find. Kristin Chenoweth singing Girl in 14G, a hilarious song about a quiet girl who moves into a quiet apartment only to find things not so, um, quiet. Once again, press pause and let it load so you can watch it straight. Listen to her shifts from head to chest. Jazz to opera. Oh my God!!!!!!!! Effortless. And her comic timing is impeccable. I want this concert on DVD!!!!!! A week to Valentine's. Wonder what I'll do. Just when I thought I would never have to spend another Valentine's alone... sigh. I know, I'm technically not... but still. *forced smile*

It's already February! How quickly time flies. I turn 29 this year and, inspired by Jamie's School Dinners and Oprah's 20th Anniversary DVD, I've decided to decide. A plan. For me to hit 30, fabulously. A year plan. Things I got to do. Work out. Eat right. Resolve. Start. Learn. Compose. Clean. Fix. Save. Visit. Rediscover. I've got over two months to list and plan. And April 13, 2006, I begin to begin. Haha... Can't wait.25 months... love you Bu.

 100 stamps later, I've made my second gift redemption from Park n' Shop. These classy ceramic, German coffee mugs. Perfect with my one cup coffee maker! *sigh* My life outside of the park isn't too exciting is it? So, I wanna travel. Feb is really busy with a lot of new recuits coming into the park. March, I've a five day vacation reserved for a trip to Manila (yes, again) but this time, hopefully I can hit Boracay, finally. Some quiet, hotel-like resort there where I can vegetate under a cool tree shade while Bu is frying under the sun. Yeah. Then April, I have two options. Holy week, I can do Bangkok, which I've been wanting to do ever since, um, last week. OR take a longer break by adding some vacation leave days and head over to San Francisco (visit Joy) and New York (with Chari) and see some shows (Wedding Singer, Tarzan, I Love You Because, Wicked, Sweeney Todd, Naked Boys Singing... oh wait, done that.) One trip will cost a whole lot more than the other, but que ba, no day but today (cringe) right? Hmm... We'll see. On top of that, I was looking at my CD collection today while spring cleaning (or while the cleaning lady was spring cleaning). The last two CDs I bought were Wicked and Last Five Years! With music so easily downloadable and friends burning me stuff, I've toned down my CD buying. BUT, looking at my CD collection stagnant has made me think. I think I'll start buying original soundtracks again. I saw Billy Elliot in HMV the other week... But if I went to New York with this new mentality, I'd go broke. Must think, must think... calculate and think. Youtube.com also has not helped my yearning to travel to New York. Check out Kristin Chenoweth here. Amazing! And what funny lyrics! (i suggest you hit the pause button, let it load first, and then watch it straight). AND check out Boq in the Chicago production of Wicked. He's cuuute (love you bu!) He's Asian. And what a voice. He plays a dork in the musical, but what a voice. A certain Telly Leung. Aw man... And he was in Flower Drum. Guess he knows Lea. 2 degrees!! Woohoo! I'm back to work tomorrow. Thanks to Chinese New Year, I heard the park was super, super packed today that they closed off the MTR so no more people could come in! Man, hope I can get through tomorrow. Good thing I only live half an hour away, if the crowd is too too, I'll head back home. Scary... Anyhoo, Friends is on... catch ya later. Think I'll try out my new coffee cups... *sigh* | |||||||||||||
