Philippines’ Traditional Dance By UPSTAGE

My school friends from the University of the Philippines Students’ Theater Arts Guild for Education or UPSTAGE went to the Bucheon World Intangible Cultural Heritage Expo in Bucheon, South Korea to represent the Philippines. Basically, it is a cultural show showcasing various cultures all over the world. See one of their presentations below.

I’m proud of UPSTAGE and proud of our culture too. I’ve been a member of UPSTAGE when I was in college but had to stop because I had to focus on my studies instead. I also have my interests best on acting in plays (UPSTAGE does Cebuano plays) rather than in folk/cultural dancing.

Anyways, I’m proud of how far this group has reached. The current president is a close friend, by the way. I’m also proud that they were chosen to represent our culture in the Bucheon Expo. Kudos!

5 Reasons To Watch “TRON: Legacy” on December 2010

I am lucky to be one of those to witness the world premiere of TRON: Legacy in the event dubbed as TRON Night in the IMAX Theatre of SM Cebu. Freebies were given and a hefty bag of popcorn set the mood.

A short recap, TRON: Legacy is a 3D film by Disney set for release on December 2010. It is a sequel to the 1982 film TRON; some actors played the same parts in this sequel. The story revolved around Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) being pulled into the highly-virtual world created by his father Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges). Kevin was also trapped in his self-created video game world and together father and son embark for their escape. (Side note: Michael Sheen of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans plays Castor in this film)
