AI11: Top 24

Alright, so this week AI season 11's Top 24 was named.

I was really happy that most of my favorites made it in, like Colton Dixon, Hallie Day, Reed Grimm, Phil Phillips, Heejun Han, Baylie Brown, and Adam Brock.

Plus I got new favorites like Jen Hirsh, Creighton Fraker, Shannon Magrane, Chase Likens, Eben Franckewitz, and Jessica Sanchez (who I heard was half-filipina).

Now, they said that the top12 boys will be top13. And the judges are deciding between four early favorites... David Leathers Jr., Jermaine Jones, Richie Law, And Johnny Keyser. I hope it's Johnny.

Tanghalang Batingaw StageFest

Last Friday (Sept.18), my sister and I, together with my friend Jamie watch Tanghalang Batingaw's 32 post-anniversary production. Shown at the Mini Theater of Lyceum of the Philippines University are 4 stage plays.

For Rent -- is all about a discreet lesbian who falls in-love with a female ramp model, who is about to get married. For Rent discuss the cruel world in which lesbians are wrongfully judge.

Onse -- revolves around Showroom, manage by a married man named Xander, who in the latter part betrayed by his brother. Problems arise when Russo, a business man showed and warned them about the previous agreement.

Siklo -- is about natures revenge. Started when Lupain (the god of Earth) got sick caused by the damage of people on nature. Lawiswis (the goddess of Air) caught a guy smoking, punish him. Tampisaw (the goddess of Water) though blissful, she still subscribe to the idea of punishing the guy in behalf of peoples cruelty on nature. Lagablab (the god of Fire) is the one very much aggressive on revenge.

Alaala -- revolves around Lorraine, a sweet loving mother, and an understanding battered wife. Reminiscing the past brought the story in life of her family.

I might say the actors are really great, esp. the cast of Siklo and Alaala.

Good Job guys.
