A BLOGGER'S LIFE




Kadalasan ay nararamdaman ko na ang panginginig ng mga daliri ko at pagdaing ng mga kamay ko na tila bagang nais nang sumuko sa pagsusulat. Pero dahil sa paniniwala kong naririyan pa rin ang mga kaibigan ko sa showbiz na nagbibigay sa akin ng inspirasyon, hindi pa rin ako tumitigil sa pagba-blog at sa pagsusulat. Maski ba kadalasan, napupulaan na ako ng mga kapwa ko manunulat at mga kasamahan sa entertainment writing, dahil daw, laging papuri na lang ang sinusulat ko, at hindi na raw ako nagiging objective sa mga panulat ko. May misyon pa rin daw ako bilang isang manunulat, at dapat ko pa rin daw na gampanan iyon.

Ang SWORDSHINES10.BLOGSPOT.COM po, gaya ng mababasa ninyo sa aking Blogger's Profile, ay isang JOURNEY, together with my friends in the entertainment field. Iyan po ang description ko sa aking blog site. Therefore, it is a Personal Blog Site, and it's not a corporate blog site. Isa itong paglalakbay at pagpupursigeng mas bigyan pa ng mga karagdagang dimensyon ang mundo ng Entertainment.

Sa paglalayon o kagustuhan kong maging maganda ang mga presentasyon ko sa mga sinusulat ko, hindi ko tinanggap ang alok ng iba na bigyan ng ADVERTISEMENTS ang blog ko. Dahil ang blog site ko po ay nagmula buhat sa isang paru-parong puti na lumipad ng lumipad sa aking mukha, balikat at katawan sa isang malinaw at saktong pangyayari. Doon nagmula ang ideya kong gumawa ng isang blog site para sa mga artista't celebrities na nakakasama ko sa showbiz. Ang tunay na inspirasyon kong masasabi talaga, ay sa isang ANGHEL na hindi ko na lamang babanggitin ang pangalan niya. Siya ang aking comfort, siya din ang aking kaligayahan.

Pero ngayon ko lang naisip, may iba pala akong dapat na sundin pa, mga patakaran na dapat pairalin. Dahil sa una, ang akala ko, dahil ako ang taga-LIKHA ng aking blog site, ako na ang masusunod sa lahat. Na sarili ko ang BOSS ko. Pero hindi pala.

Dahil sa ang KATOTOHANAN sa lahat ng ito, hindi po mabubuhay ang aking blog site kung wala ang mga KAIBIGAN ko na iyon sa showbiz. Kumbaga, sa kanila ako kumukuha ng GASOLINA para tumakbo at umandar ang mga pangangailangan ko to sustain my blog site. Dahil nga, ayokong magkaroon ng ADS ang aking blog, at dahil mas gusto kong maging personal lamang ang IDENTITY ng aking humble blog site.

Pero tao lamang ako. May mga pangyayaring nasasaktan din ako dahil sa mga maling interpretasyon ng iba sa mga bagay-bagay. Ganu'npaman, humihingi pa rin ako ng paumanhin ngayon sa kanila. May mga nasaktan ako, may mga nasagasaan, may mga nadampian ng aking mga pagkakamali.

Kung minsan kasi, dahil sa mariin ang pagkakatitig ko sa kanila, gusto kong mas pagbutihin pa nila ang paghanga ko sa kani-kanilang mga kakayahan. At gusto ko rin linawin na hindi siguro ako talaga 'yung taong NAKITA nila, maaaring naging MALI nga ang pagkakatingin nila o sa ibang anggulo nila nakita ang malilinis kong intensyon.

Pero dito sa huling pagkakataon na naganap sa buhay ko bilang isang blogger, ipinakita sa akin ng isang ANGHEL na ako nga ang nagkamali. Dahil siguro sa sobrang taas ng expectations ko sa galing nila sa pagganap nu'ng isang beses na napanood ko sila sa Cuneta Astrodome, mas nanaginip akong MAS gagaling pa sila sa susunod nilang pagtatanghal. Marahil, doon nga talaga ako nagkamali. Hindi nila na-"fill-in" ang napakagrande kong expectations sa kanila. At dala ng aking pagkadismaya, nakapagsulat ako ng hindi maganda. PARA SA KANILANG APAT, humihingi po ako ng paumanhin.

Sinabihan na ako nu'ng aktor na bida sa dulang iyon, na iyon daw ang mas magandang bersyon ng dula nila, pero hindi ako nakinig sa kanya. Iba kasi ang panlasa ko, marahil. Mas humahanga na ako ngayon sa mga dulang may SOPHISTICATION at may texture. 'Yung makaluma at darker ang dating. Hindi 'yung kumikinang ang mga sets sa entablado. Dahil natatabunan nu'n ang kakaibang galaw at galing mga artistang nagsisipag-ganap.

Nuong kabataan ko, at a time na nasa TASK FORCE P.R. pa ako g yumaong direktor na si Joey Gosiengfiao (R.I.P.) noon sa Regal Films, kasabay nu'n na isa din ako sa directly-assigned na magazine writer sa mga pelikula ng Seiko Films at direktang nakakausap ko ang prodyuser na si Robbie Tan, aside from being one among the regular invited movie press sa tuwing may mga bagong pelikula noon ang Viva Films at ang Star Cinema- binibigyan nila ako ng leeway sa mga anggulo na dapat na maisulat- NEGATIVE man ito o HINDI. Dahil sa lawak ng mga experiences naming mga entertainment writers, mas alam na namin kung ano ang mas ikasisikat ng mga artista- mapa-telebisyon man o pelikula.

Ang intensyon lamang naming manunulat ay iisa: Na mas paingayin, mas mapansin, mas makilala ang mga artistang sinulat namin. Dahil naniniwala kami: "Good or bad publicity is still publicity."

Lahat na yata siguro ng mga panlalait nila sa pagkatao ko ay nabasa o naipahayag na nila ng mali sa sankaterbang mga tao magmula nu'ng maging VIRAL na ang pagsusulat ko. Pero lahat po iyon ay pinalampas ko lang, dahil alam ko, sa bandang huli, malalaman pa rin nila, MALINIS ANG INTENSYON KO.

THIS IS MY LIFE. THIS IS A BLOGGER'S LIFE.

Maaring magpahinga man ako ng sandali o ng matagal, bahala na. Pero bilang isang kaibigan, wala na sila sa buhay ko. Mananatili na lamang ang mga ala-ala, masama man iyon o hindi.

Sa Facebook ko, marami na akong na-blocked. At kapag nagawa ko na iyon, it only means, hindi na kita kaibigan. Dahil natuklasan ko, hindi mo pala ako ganap na nakita sa tunay na AKO. 

Magpapatuloy po ako sa personal na buhay ko. Maaaring tumigil ako pasumandali. Pero sabi nga nila, habang may buhay ay may pagasa.

Dahil makita man nila o hindi ang anghel na patuloy na nagi-inspire akin, wala na po akong pakialam sa sasabihin pa nila.

Habang ang mga bituin at ang buwan sa langit na nakikita ko kadalasan ngayon sa gitna ng gabi ay naroroon pa rin sa langit,



magmamahal pa rin ako ng magmamahal sa mga kaibigan ko sa showbiz.




MAGPAKAILANMAN.

'AIDA' OPENS CCP MET OPERA IN HD SEASON 7







 ITALIAN composer Giuseppe Verdi's Aida opens the seventh season of the CCP Met Opera in HD, special screenings of the latest operatic productions of the Metropolitan Opera in New York through high definition digital technology, on March 10, 2020.

Set in ancient Egypt, the four-act drama brings to life the love triangle between a warrior, an Ethiopian slave and a princess.  Warrior Radamès falls in love with Aida, the Ethiopian slave of Princess Amneris, the king’s daughter. Unbeknownst, the princess has feelings for the warrior.  When the three meet, Amneris jealously senses Radames' feelings for Aida.  An opera about imperial duty and forbidden love, sung in Italian.

Music by Giuseppe Verdi, with libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni, soprano Anna Netrebko sings Aida, going toe-to-toe with mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili as Amneris and tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko as Radamès. Maestro Nicola Luisotti takes the podium.

Composer Camille Saint-Saëns's operatic take on the classic story of Samson and Delilah takes the cinema stage on April 21, 2020.  Biblical epic Samson et Dalila stars tenor Roberto Alagna as the heroic Samson who ultimately falls victim to the seductive power of Dalila, portrayed by mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča.  Bass-baritone Laurent Naouri sings the sinister High Priest of Dagon.  Completing the cast are baritone Elchin Azizov as the Philistine king Abimélech and bass Dmitry Belosselskiy as the Old Hebrew.

Darko Tresnjak, the Tony Award–winning director of "A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder," made his debut directing the new Met production of the opera in 20 years.  Sir Mark Elder conducts.

Catch Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata, a tale about a Parisian courtesan who sacrifices all for love, on May 12, 2020.  In his first Live in HD appearance as the Met’s Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Michael Mayer’s richly textured new production, featuring a dazzling 18th-century setting that changes with the seasons.

Soprano Diana Damrau plays the tragic heroine, Violetta, and tenor Juan Diego Flórez returns to the Met for the first time in five seasons to sing Alfredo, Violetta’s hapless lover.  Baritone Quinn Kelsey is Alfredo’s father, Germont, who destroys their love.

Georges Bizet's Carmen is the fourth installment of the Opera in HD season, slated on June 23, 2020.  Set among the Romani people in Seville, Carmen is a gritty tragedy starring the most famous of all operatic vixens.

Mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine is opera’s ultimate seductress, opposite tenor Roberto Alagna.  Soprano Aleksandra Kurzak sings Micaëla, alongside bass Alexander Vinogradov as the swaggering bullfighter Escamillo.  Louis Langrée conducts Sir Richard Eyre’s lively production.

Come July 21, 2020, CCP Met Opera in HD presents Gaetano Donizetti's La Fille du Régiment, an operatic comedy that mixes hilarious complications with virtuoso slapstick and wonderful singing.  Libretto by Georges Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jean-François Bayard, it follows Marie, the feisty tomboy raised by a regiment of French soldiers.

Bel canto stars Pretty Yende and Javier Camarena team up for a feast of vocal fireworks on the stage, while baritone Maurizio Muraro is Sergeant Sulplice, with mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the outlandish Marquise of Berkenfield.  Enrique Mazzola conducts.

Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmelites closes the seventh season on August 25, 2020.  The Met’s Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads an accomplished ensemble in Poulenc’s devastating modern masterpiece of faith and martyrdom.  Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard is the young Blanche de La Force, opposite Met legend Karita Mattila as the First Prioress.

The CCP Met Opera in HD series is presented by the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the New York Metropolitan
 Opera and the Filipinas Opera Society Foundation Inc., in cooperation with the Ayala Malls Cinemas.

All screenings will be held at Greenbelt 3 Cinema 1, at 6:30 p.m.  Tickets are priced at Php450.  Season subscription will be Php2,400 for six shows.  For more information, call the CCP Film, Broadcast and New Media Division at 8832-1125, local 1702 & 1705.  Or visit the CCP social media accounts and website (www.culturalcenter.gov.ph).

LANCE RAYMUNDO REUNITES WITH HIS VERY FIRST DIRECTOR ON THEATER, IN PERSON OF DIREK JUN PABLO VIA THE PLAY 'ROMEO & JULIET', REHEARSALS STARTS BY THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2020

ROMEO & JULIET: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BUT TRAGIC LOVE STORY EVER TOLD

BLOGGER ROBERT (LEFT IN RED SHIRT), WITH DIRECTOR JUN PABLO AND ACTOR-SINGER LANCE RAYMUNDO

LANCE: THE PERFECT ROMEO

LANCE: AN ETERNAL YOUTHFUL GLOW

LANCE: STILL SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT "JULIET"

LANCE: SEXY ROMEO





It was a great lunch meeting at an exclusive Thai restaurant named Nina (located at the 3rd floor of SM Megamall) with actor-singer Lance Raymundo and veteran stage director Jun Pablo (C.E.O. of Gantimpala Theater Foundation) as they discussed together with blogger Robert Silverio the important details in the pre-production stages and revival of Gantimpala's most successful stage play ever- "Romeo and Juliet".

The meeting ended with direk Jun saying that the rehearsals for the play will start by the month of December 2020 and performances for schools and other theater venues like the AFP Theater and Meralco Theater will begin by the month of February 2021 (next year).


"This play will take so long for rehearsals because of the fencing action scenes, the long English lines in the script and my intent to make the play the most beautiful play of all", direk Jun said. "It was the most successful play I had ever directed. And reviving it this time, together with my very first Romeo- Lance Raymundo again, brings so much joy to my heart."

For all those who doesn't know yet, it was direk Jun Pablo who was Lance's very first director on stage via the play "Romeo & Juliet" years ago. It was also direk Jun who first directed the original version of the said play, before the late Tony Espejo (R.I. P.) had his turn and own version for the play and also got Lance Raymundo as Romeo.

That's why during the lunch meeting, direk Jun and Lance were both very emotional and nostalgic. They both reminisced and recalled the many controversial incidents when they staged the said classic play. They laughed, giggled and smiled recalling all those memories. Like that incident when direk Jun had to close the curtains abruptly because he saw Lance perspiring so much in a bed scene, only did he know later, that Lance was caught in a very awkward live situation because 'HIS THING' stood-up like a flag ceremony in that delicate bed scene with Juliet, portrayed by Ms. Adriana Agcaoili at that time.


This blogger asked Lance during the meeting: "How could you relate to the character of Romeo? Would you say that he's also like you?"

"Yes, Robert, I am very much like Romeo in many same ways", Lance answered. "Just like him, I am so passionate in loving a girl. I would go hell and high waters just to be with the person that I love."


A big pharmaceutical company, a famous skin clinic, a beauty product company, among others, are now keen in sponsoring the play "Romeo & Juliet". Lance's and direk Jun's plan is to present the play also to mature audiences and not just to students. That's why they're targeting either Meralco Theater or Solaire Theater as separate venues for the play, aside from the AFP Theater which is the regular venue for all Gantimpala plays.

Direk Jun is also eyeing award-winning director Jose Jeffrey Camanag as his assistant director for the revival of Romeo & Juliet play. He's wishing that direk Jeffrey will be free for the schedules.


Auditions for the supporting cast of the play and for the role of Juliet will be set around the month of July and August this year.

Wow...Whew. ROMEO AND JULIET, THE PLAY. This could be Gantimpala Theater Foundation's biggest and most powerful play to date! Watch out in February 2021!!!
