YOU CANNOT DESTROY YOUR OWN SHADOW
I have like hundreds of pictures taken in the past two months that are just waiting to be placed onto this blog, but I just don't have the damn time! This summer, I'll be dedicating one week into renovating this blog.
'Learn to be lonely'
With my bestfriend around these days and the brilliant horizon of productions lately, I don't think I have the right to say that I'm actually lonely (as mentioned in the previous post). If I offended anyone, I didn't mean it. I always smile and thank God that even in times of loneliness, I always end up running into someone unexpectedly. Like Joyce and Lovely at Hubsite or Ate Jo at Jollibee Bayan. I ran into Kuya Jay (HF17 Art Editor) on a lonely visit to Socorro's one time.
To the people who always keep me company these days, thanks. You guys keep me sane and healthy as each bombshell explodes nearby.
It's hard to explain really. I'm saying I'm lonely in a sense that relates to a certain scorpion venom which has fused itself into my blood. I am still lonely, longing, and drowning.
Like I've said before, "My heart is torn open but I don't care, I'd rather die fighting or bleeding on the front line than to sit back and fade away."

I heard Beyonce' do her rendition of "Learn to be lonely" from the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack and it made me realize some things.
Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Never dreamed, out in the world
There are arms to hold you
You've always known
Your heart was on it's own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love
Life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved
Alone
It made me realize that there's actually a song that promotes being lonely! Haha.

Diana Ross
The acting, the lighting, the over-all performance was fantastic. The message just made the whole production shine even more. Tope, Arjay, Jhen, and to all the other people I might know in Teatro Lasalliana, a big round of applause to you guys.
Tope asked me what I understood from the whole play. Though it's center theme was "You can't destroy your own shadow...", I understood this other point based from the last scene:
If you have a significant other who is gay/bisexual, it doesn't mean that they become straight just because you're with them. It is wrong to force them to hide their true colors. (It only becomes wrong when they two-time.)
We have to love people for who they are and not who we want them to be for us. Kung bading o bisexual siya, ganon talaga. Wala tayo magagawa kundi mahalin natin sila. And when they say stuff, we owe it to them to keep it within ourselves and NOT broadcast it to ten other people. What's intimate to one person should be kept intimate. Hindi siya balita! Puta.
Parang nawawala na ako sa reaction ko ng Diana Ross. Peace.
One love.
