I haven't gone home to Ormoc for quite some time, so nobody can fault me for being very excited that I will be spending Christmas at my hometown this holiday season. I have so many things to do, so many presents to buy and so many things to prepare that it seems like I don't have time for anything anymore these days.






This picture was taken in Ormoc two Christmases ago. It's a picture of me (in the center) with my brother and sister.



I am currently listening to the Miss Saigon musical soundtrack. And even if I've listened to this record for like a hundred times, it never fails to move me. A really tragic love story, I wish I can see this musical live one day. The show was brought to Manila a few years back, but I wasn't able to watch it, much to my dismay and disappointment. Of course I would also like to watch Madame Butterfly, Puccini's opera in which this musical is based. Both have the same plot... well, almost, but the countries were different. The girl in Miss Saigon was from Vietnam and the girl from Madame Butterfly was from Japan. I read somewhere that Schonberg said his music for Miss Saigon was inspired by a picture of this Vietnamese mother holding the hand of her half-Vietnamese, half-American daughter at the airport... and the mother had to let the daughter go because her life would be better in America where the father is. It was just so sad. I saw the picture and it was really touching. The picture was surrounded with an air of hopelessness.

Feeling hopeless in whatever situation is something I never want to feel. I am the most positive person I know and I will never let failure defeat or crush my spirit.
