Music of the Night

Growing up, I was exposed to a lot of the arts. Musical theatre to be exact. I watched numerous plays from The Little Mermaid to Miss Saigon to Legally Blonde and many more!! 

Being the Disney lover that I am, one of my favourite plays as a kid was Beauty and the Beast which I got to watch on Broadway in New York! 

I loved musical theatre! There was nothing like it. The thrill I got from watching plays was just ineffable. I also got to act in a few plays growing up which was extremely fun too! I played this Princess in Sesame Street when I was about 7, I think? Rizzo (Pink Ladies) from Grease and Lucy (this Bitch role) from 13 just to name some. Weird thing is, I'm always give the Bitch role... :( But I end up loving it afterwards because ironically, they're really fun to play! 

I started the month of September with Phantom of the Opera. It's been running since August 25, and I was just counting the days honestly... I was extremely excited to see this play! Everyone's been going on and on about how amazing it was. Truth be told, they were absolutely right! It was jaw-droppingly amazing. 

From the set, to the actors, to the orchestra.. everything was just one major production! I know that nothing's perfect, but this was just that. Certainly one of the best plays I've seen yet. Part of my top three, along with Wicked which I saw in Singapore. :) 

I love to sing!! I sing all the time. In my room, the shower, and when I'm driving alone in my car. Not saying I sing well, but I just love it. Music makes me so happy! I wouldn't know what I'd do without it. :) 

Tickets are pretty costly, but believe me, you won't regret it! Luckily, Phantom of the Opera is extended. So I suggest you call and reserve right away!

Tickets are still available at Ticketworld or call 891-9999. 

ENJOY!!

Born This Way Ball

So on May 22, 2012 I had the chance to watch Lady Gaga again for her second visit in the Philippines. Her tickets were incredibly pricy so I didn't even bother buying it. But thankfully, I got to experience the concert at the VISA PLATINUM SUITE at the new Mall Of Asia Arena for free. :)

Inside the VISA Platinum Suite Lounge. 

Lady Gaga was really good live! It was my second time watching her, but this time around she was so much better! The set was amazing and her vocals were really good too. All in all such a great concert. :)

SUPER YUMMY FOOD!

My favorite were the risotto balls that had a cheesy surprise in the middle. :")

Me and my brother Josh after the concert.

Yes, we are wearing the same color. 

This usually happens and we only find out once we're out of the house. Talk about Unagi! 

Unagi: Total state of awareness.

It was no question why both her concerts were sold out. 

The concert was amazing!

I felt like such a VIP thanks to VISA. The suites have separate entrances in the back so you won't have to worry about the crowd. The suites give out really yummy food and beverages. Everything is just so secluded in one box, you feel like you're having a private concert all to yourself. 

The platinum suite will be used for VISA promotions and lucky card holders will have the chance to experience all the perks that come with it for future concerts and shows at the arena. 

So what're you waiting for little monsters? 

Use your VISA card now!

And if you aren't using VISA, I suggest you switch now. ;)
