Vissi d'arte: December 2004
http://mikeetraviata.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
From lullaby to requiem. Monday, December 27, 2004. My Big Fat Filipino Family. My uncle died last October; unfortunately, he died in Saudi where he was working as an architect (or an engineer, I can't tell the difference) and it took us around 45 days to get him home. When he did get home, we finally were able to have his wake, and grieve properly. Anyway, it's a requisite for members of my family to stay in the. The womanizing uncle - of course I only found out now! Strike the kinda big! The former is ...

From lullaby to requiem. Friday, September 30, 2005. I've always considered myself just a little bit hardcore. I teach hardcore, I (try to) sing hardcore, and I live hardcore - but it's only today that I've realized that I really am hardcore. Last Tuesday, while napping on my mom's new. Il Barbiere di Siviglia. Beethoven's baby and only opera. That's not the original title, but the title's in German something like. And they all cost only 360php each! And gave them to me today - I paid her back, of course!

From lullaby to requiem. Saturday, September 18, 2004. I just transfered from Livejournal, so this is my first post. in accordance with personal tradition: MY FIRST POST IS A REPOST! Traditionally, any symbol of fertility would have done, and I guess cow’s milk is enough of a fertility symbol, at least for me). I wrote my own spell, called the corners (twice, since my candles were having difficulty standing on their own! For once, someone was actually crushing on me! I felt special, I felt pretty. Wh...

From lullaby to requiem. Tuesday, July 26, 2005. Ok so, my brother is gone - I have like 20 mins to write this so. I was on my way home and I was recalling what I did in class. Particularly in my 2nd class. I entered the room and the previous class had. But anyway, he was ssssssoooooooooo cute. kagigil!

Vissi d'arte: February 2005

From lullaby to requiem. Wednesday, February 23, 2005. The Phantom of the Opera. Twisted every way what answer can I give? Christine Daae is a young chorus girl in the Ballet of Paris’ Opera Populaire, managed by Monsieur Andre and Monsieur Firmin. The Phantom (no name given! Some things I didn't like: some lines which were originally sung were spoken, and the dubbing was HORRID! When will you see reason? Monsieur believe me there is no way of turning the tides! I’ve seen it on Broadway (although not wit...

Vissi d'arte: August 2005
http://mikeetraviata.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
From lullaby to requiem. Thursday, August 25, 2005. Once upon a time. not long ago. Well, not really, this is more of a recitative than a song really. anyway! Once upon a time not long ago the head of any studio knew how and when to play his aces. Now they put some talentless unknown beneath their sacred microphone - WE didn't need words, we had faces! Of the first act of ALW's. You used to be big! You used to be in pictures! And she replies with one of my favorite. Lines ever. "I AM big! Me, in the kitc...

Vissi d'arte: May 2005

From lullaby to requiem. Wednesday, May 18, 2005. Stuff archetypes et al. Well so I just saw one of Boom's posts - the one about movie cliches - and I really enjoyed them, they were funny, plagiarized I believe, but funny! Archetypes, like cliches, surface everywhere, except archetypes embody a larger and more encompassing scale. For example:. The Hero Archetype,. Ex Balian in Kingdom of Heaven, Will Turner in Pirates of the Carribean (did I spell that right? Bakit puro Orlando Bloom? The Diva and the In...

From lullaby to requiem. Friday, June 10, 2005. OH MY GO- - - - (ala Jack from Will and Grace). I did not anticipate, in any way, that teaching two subjects would be FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR more difficult than taking 6 courses all at the same time! And it;'s only my first week! I haven't even memorized any of my students' names (well, I know a couple), and already I'm exhausted! My first week was fabulous, except for the fact that it was very, very tiring! That was an experience; I immediately told them ...
