Rak of Aegis

July 1, 2014 by Janey

Due to its initial success weighing 43 sold-out shows and 7 extended days, PETA opened another run of the hit Rak of Aegis last June. The show will run until end of August with regular performances on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 3PM or 8PM.

—-

Rak of Aegis

Date of Performances: June 20 to August 31, 2014

(Fri, Sat, Sun at 3PM or 8PM, but they have every other Thursday sched at 8PM)

Venue: The PETA Theater Center

No. 5 Eymard Drive, New Manila, Quezon City

“A story of love, fame and resilience, “Rak of Aegis” is set in a subdivision frequently marred with flood. The story revolves around Aileen, a young promodizer caught in the web of finding love and seeking fame to support her family. A story inspired by Filipino’s resilience, the play showcases the capacity of Filipinos to overcome the greatest peril. “Rak of Aegis” will be a box filled with musical and visual spectacles showcasing Pinoy’s innate love for music.”

I am a secret closet fan of the Aegis… gusto mo yun, secret na closet pa. I really didn’t want it leaked out but I sing Aegis in the shower. It was the perfect place to belt out (without getting knocked out in the head with a beer bottle) the song and submit myself to every word, especially the soaking wet part.

“Heto ako ngayon, nag-iisa

Naglalakbay sa gitna ng dilim

Lagi na lang akong nadarapa

Ngunit heto, bumabangon pa rin

Heto ako, basang-basa sa ulan

Walang masisilungan, walang malalapitan

Sana’y may luha pa, akong mailuluha

At ng mabawasan ang aking kalungkutan”

Alongside my bucket list of wanting to watch Michael Jackson, Coldplay, U2, Madonna, and Bon Jovi concerts, it has always been my fervent wish to catch an Aegis concert. So imagine my excitement when I heard about Rak of Aegis. I didn’t mind having the Aegis sing and act in the play, even with absolutely zero theater experience… even if there’s no stage, and they only sing on top of a huge rock. They are an iconic rock band and truly pure Pinoy talents at a class of their own. Original Pinoy Music.

Life Begins

March 17, 2011 by Janey

Hey folks! 🙂

I just want to share the song and lyrics of Bruno Mar’s Today My Life Begins.

I’ve been playing and playing this song. Loop. Good thing I’m wearing earphones.

Don’t ever doubt you could win.

Regrets, leave it in the past.

A whole new world is waiting… it’s MINE for the taking.

Today, MY LIFE BEGINS.

Every day is a new chance to begin.

God gave us ONLY ONE LIFE to LIVE.

So you’d better make the most of it.

It’s such a great song and if you need motivation in catching the sunshine today,

THIS IS IT.

Graduates, congratulations! A whole new world is waiting! Claim it! 😉

Love is love!

Janey

DJ Who?

November 14, 2009 by Janey

“If God is a DJ

Life is a dance floor

Love is the rhythm

You are the music

If God is a DJ

Life is a dance floor

You get what you’re given

It’s all how you use it…”

God is the DJ?

Michael Jackson’s Doctor Investigated

July 29, 2009 by Janey

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents and LAPD detectives searched the residence and office of Conrad Murray, each location a week apart. Murray is Michael Jackson’s doctor who is believed to have given Jackson a lethal dose of anesthetic Propofol.

Propofol is used to induce unconsciousness in patients ahead of major surgery. In hospitals, only a trained anesthesiologist is allowed to administer the drug under strict monitoring conditions.

TMZ.com reported that Murray had told police in an interview he gave Jackson Propofol via an intravenous drip. The website reported police believe Murray may have fallen asleep while the drug was being administered, and awoke to find the singer already dead.

If Murray did inject Jackson with Propofol negligently, he can be charged with homicide.

The federal agents and police came to his office a week earlier with a search warrant seeking evidence for the “offense of manslaughter”

The LA Coroner’s office reported that the toxicology result is due by the end of this week.

Michael Jackson Movie

July 22, 2009 by Janey

A Michael Jackson movie could hit theaters by the end of 2009. Rumor is Sony Pictures is willing to pay the 50-million dollar deal for worldwide rights. AEG Entertainment, the company who owns the 80-hour material showing Michael Jackson rehearsing for his planned series of comeback concerts, had previewed the footage to different Hollywood studios. The television rights are up for bidding at $10 million.

Kenny Ortega, the choreographer for the King of Pop’s “This Is It” concerts might direct the movie. He is also famed for the hit film, “High School Musical.”

We’ve seen a few clips of the rehearsal footages but that’s only a morsel compared to what AEG has in their possession. The footage released last July 2 showed the international pop superstar practicing a song-and-dance routine at Los Angeles’s Staples Center two days before his death. The footage shows that Jackson had been in good health prior to the day he died.

Jackson was found barely breathing on June 25 at his rented Los Angeles mansion. A final cause of death has not been revealed as coroners await the results of toxicology tests.

Michael Jackson Memorial –Most Touching Moment

July 8, 2009 by Janey

Millions of people all over the world stayed tune to the live coverage of Michael Jackson’s public memorial. 20,000 people flock to Staples Center, Los Angeles to celebrate the King of Pop’s life. Family and friends of Michael Jackson remembered his contribution to the music and to the world.

Brooke Shields expressed her breaking heart as she remembered her younger moments with Michael Jackson, as well as Berry Gordon, founder of MoTown Records, Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant, Stevie Wonder.

The most touching moment for me during the memorial is when the whole family of MJ was onstage and Paris Jackson, one of Michael Jackson‘s three young children, and spoke about her late father. With Janet Jackson on her side, she broke down saying that her father is the best father imaginable… her voice cracked as well as her heart when she expressed her love for her father.

Growing up under shades, blanket, masks, Michael Jackson made efforts to protect his children’s faces from the paparazzi for more than a decade. But on Tuesday, in front of an audience of thousands at the Staples Center and millions more around the globe, 12-year-old Michael Joseph Jr., known as Prince Michael; 11-year-old Paris-Katherine; and 7-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket clutching a Michael Jackson doll, sat in the front row, taking in their father’s memorial service at Staples Center.

The ceremony’s significant spotlight was on Paris addressing the crowd while fighting back sobs. She breaks down in public in remembrance of her dad as millions of fans’ heart mourned with her.

“Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine,” she said, her tiny voice cracking. “And I just wanted to say I love him — so much.”

Another tearful moment was Jermaine Jackson singing a song for his brother. Viewers all over the world were stricken with emotion when the elder Jackson who was in tears performed his brother’s favorite song, “Smile.”

The group performed “We are the World” on the stage to honor Jackson’s role in bridging races.

Jackson sold an estimated 750 million copies of his album. Only Elvis Presley and the Beatles are within this record.

American Idol Season 8 Finale

May 21, 2009 by Janey

There is a new American Idol and it’s Kris Allen. KRIS ALLEN, ladies and gentlemen.

Gotta give props to Adam Lambert because he was really a superstar all throughout the competition and he brought AI to a whole new level –singing and stage presence –wise.

Image Source: watchingamericanidol.com

Kris Allen despite missing some key notes in Kara DioGuardi’s written song, No Boundaries, triumphs as the last man standing in Season 8 of American Idol. Even if Adam did a better performance hitting the notes, I feel that Kris’ acoustic rock voice suits the song better than Adam’s mellow Aerosmith voice.

Image Source: watchingamericanidol.com

Other than the star-studded guest list that includes Kiss and Queen, Kara DioGuardi made the season finale more memorable with an epic showdown between her and “bikini girl” Katrina Darrell. Not so long ago during the auditions, Kara pointed out that Katrina didn’t hit the right notes. Katrina made a sarcastic rebuttal that distressed Kara to showing her how it’s properly done.

Image Source: Fox and Huffintonpost.com

At the end of the singing duel, Kara unveiled her bikini body by unbuttoning her trench dress to flash a black string bikini she had on underneath. Ryan commented that by flashing the world at the end of the song, Kara won a bet and a donation to charity.

In other news, Hayden Christensen (no, not the infamous local doctor with scandalous videos) and Djimon Honsou stars in Mandrake the Magician adaptation. Anakin Skywalker of Star Wars is supposed to do the lead role in the film “Mandrake.” MTV news however reports that a representative from Hayden’s camp denies that he has anything to do with the film.

The movie co-star Djimon Honsou will follow Hayden’s character, an “underground magician and escapologist” who is approached by the CIA to do some work after “a daring escape from an SUV that has been dropped out of an plane at the Burning Man Festival. Hounsou will presumably be taking on the role of Mandrake’s assistant, Lothar. I love Djimon Honsou in Blood Diamond and I cannot wait to see another film with him in it.

The Zeitgeist and Moon movies are the two movies I want to watch soon. Have you seen Zeitgeist?

Lifehouse Concert

July 31, 2008 by Janey

The first song sang at the Lifehouse Concert was Make Me Over, but I’m putting You and Me first because this is one of our songs when we were starting out. (No, I don’t like bread to go with my cheese)

You and Me is a very significant song because of the Story of Us (https://www.janedchua.com/2008/01/19/at-the-beginning/). It is only but natural that our gym friends (bjj friends, work friends, et. al) were disapproving of our relationship at the start. Of course, that is not the case any more. My work friends love him. My family. Everybody. But at the start, it felt like a Sharon Cuneta movie theme, which was “you and me against the world”

You and Me

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can’t keep up and I can’t back down

I’ve been losing so much time

‘Cause it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it’s you and me and all other people

And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you
One of the things that I want to say just aren’t coming out right

I’m tripping on words

You’ve got my head spinning

I don’t know where to go from here

‘Cause it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to proveAnd it’s you and me and all other people

And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you

There’s something about you nowI can’t quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

‘Cause it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it’s you and me and all other people

And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of

You and me and all other people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it’s you and me and all other people

And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you

We both like Lifehouse too because a lot of their songs have a Christian faith undertone.

Make Me Over

Wrap my arms around your name

Feel your breath against my pain

As i breathe out

The past is gone

Empty smile

Naked heart

Who I was, falls apart

When you’re here

Inside of me

Feel till your numb

Depth perception becoming

The new deaf and dumb

I’m losing myself just to find a place in your mind

In your mind Changing myself, just to stand alone in your eyes

In your eyes Pull me in, take me out, make me over

Read the wave, ride your fears In this ocean of years

We’ve been here Swiming on

Take me deep, till I find

Every corner of your mind

We’ve been here

Swiming on
Touch, till you taste

All the time

We are wasting alone

Waiting here

Spin

Why would I chase your shadow all my life

And be afraid of my own?

Id rather be with youId rather not know

Where Ill be than

Be alone and convinced that I know

When the world keeps spinning round

My worlds upside down

You and I wouldnt change a thing

Ive got nothing else to lose

I lost it all when I found you

And I wouldnt change a thing

No, you and I wouldnt change a thing

Everything I know has let me down

So I will just let go

Let you turn me inside out

Cause I know Im not sure

About anything

But you wouldnt have it any other way

When the world keeps spinning round

My worlds upside down

You and I wouldnt change a thing

Ive got nothing else to loseI lost it all when I found you

And I wouldnt change a thing

No, you and I wouldnt change a thing

Spinning turning watching burning

All my life has found its meaning

Walking crawling climbing falling

All my life has found its meaning

This next song is by far one of the most popular alternative songs in college. And maybe one or two have been shot in a videoke joint for playing this for the 100^th time.

Hanging by a Moment

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

I’m closer to where I started

Chasing after you

I’m falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all I’ve held onto

I’m standing here until you make me move

I’m hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I’m lacking

Completely incomplete

I’ll take your invitation

You take all of me now…

I’m falling even more in love with you

I’m Letting go of all I’ve held onto

I’m standing here until you make me move

I’m hanging by a moment here with you

I’m living for the only thing I know

I’m running and not quite sure where to go

And I don’t know what I’m diving into

Just hanging by a moment here with you

There’s nothing else to lose

There’s nothing else to find

There’s nothing in the world

That can change my mind

There is nothing else

Blind

I was young but I wasn’t naive
I watched helpless as you turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we’d be here
Never thought we’d be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn’t make you see it
Couldn’t make you see it
That I loved you more than you’ll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like is was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

Take Me Away

This time all I want is you
There is no one else
Who can take your place
This time you burn me with your eyes
You see past all the lies
You take it all away
I’ve seen it all
And it’s never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away
Take me away
I’ve got nothing left to say
Just take me away

I try to make my way to you
But still I feel so lost
I don’t know what else I can do
I’ve seen it all
And it’s never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away
Take me away
I’ve got nothing left to say
Just take me away

From Where You Are

So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you
So far away from where you are
Standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here

I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things I never thought that they’d mean everything to me
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

I feel the beating of your heart
I see the shadows of your face
Just know that wherever you are
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

This is one of their new songs that we are both loving now.

Whatever It Takes

What strangled smile fell from your face
Would kills me that I hurt you this way
The worst part is that I didn’t even know
Now there’s a million reasons for you to go
But if you can find a reason to stay

I’ll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what’s at stake
I know that I’ve let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I’ll keep us together whatever it takes

She said “If we’re gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don’t hide the broken parts that I need to see”
She said “Like it or not it’s the way it’s gotta be
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me”

I’ll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what’s at stake
I know that I’ve let you down
And if you give me a chance
And give me a break
I’ll keep us together, I know you deserve much better

But remember the time I told you the way that I felt
That I’d be lost without you and never find myself
Let’s hold onto each other above everything else
Start over, start over

I’ll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what’s at stake
I know I’ve let you down
And if you give me a chance
And believe that I can change
I’ll keep us together whatever it takes
