The Same Sky

This is a touchy-sad-happy story. So before reading this story, make sure to get yourself a box of Kleenex® or maybe not.

When I was little, my mother always joins my father at work. To all people who don’t know yet, my father is a seafarer. He, ever since I can remember, works on an oil shipping company that I think delivers oils to different parts of the world: Asia, Europe, America, Dubai, etc. and whenever he joins the ship, months after, my Mom will follow him there. I often wonder why she would leave us for my Dad when there’s such thing like mother’s unconditional love…

I used to be a brat about this and always hate her for leaving us because for me it felt like she would rather be there: travel countries after countries than take care of us, than teach us, than do stuff like regular Moms do for their children.

I also remember that every time she would leave she would buy us really cool stuff like things we always want to have and been dreaming off to posses. It feels happy to get things we want but in exchange for your mother? Would you rather get it? But do I have a choice back then? I don’t have and I need to pretend to enjoy those stuffs and things she bought.

One night before her flight to somewhere I can’t remember to join Dad, she told me something that I still remember and do from time to time. We were seating next to each other on our swing that night, under the Mango trees, beneath the stars… I don’t know why we were there and even the whole topic we are talking about. But there was one thing I always remember and it was when she told me that if I ever feel like missing her, if I ever want her beside me and if I need her when she can’t be with me, all that I have to do is to look at the stars and the sky and remember that no matter how far She is or how far I maybe, we are under the same sky, looking at it and sitting next to each other.

Now that I’m far away… here are the stars, here is the sky. I’m looking at it. I miss her so MUCH.

Love, now and always,

Mia

The Kitchen Musical Singapore, Filipino Stars on the Lead

SINGAPORE -- The Kitchen Musical, a music-dance-drama revolving around the story of a rich, young girl fresh from culinary school, is set to dazzle television viewers across Asia this October, with broadcasts in Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and 12 other countries.


The four-month long original production by The Group Entertainment spread over 13 one-hour episodes features an international cast, including British thespian Stephen Rahman-Hughes, Filipino powerhouses Karylle Tatlonghari and Christian Bautista, Hong Kong supermodel Rosemary Vandenbroucke and New York-based Filipino stage actor, Arthur Acuña.

This is the first international musical television drama series produced in Singapore for the regional and international markets, airing on AXN Asia, MetroTV in Indonesia, nTV7 in Malaysia, and Studio 23 in the Philippines.

The show, through music, song and dance, will follow the trials and tribulations of Maddie as she begins a journey of self-discovery following her graduation from a culinary school in Paris. She goes to work at her father's restaurant, The Avilon, and learns that she cannot always get her way by being Daddy's girl.

"The audience can expect fresh entertainment that will satiate their appetite for flavor-filled storylines spiced with complex characters, while singing along to their favorite hit songs and enjoying delicious dishes presented in an exciting way," says Nelia Sutrisno, chief executive officer of The Group Entertainment.

"The idea of a musical television series that hones in on Asia's passion for food has never been done before. We wanted to create a fresh and original concept for the global audience that is still well identifiable within the region," adds CheeK, the creator and writer of The Kitchen Musical who is also the executive vice president and creative director of The Group Entertainment.

The television series had the complete commitment of the international cast and crew, who based themselves in Singapore throughout the shoot. The cast was put through four weeks of intense acting and dancing rehearsals, as well as a kitchen boot camp. Each installment of the series will showcase re-arranged and re-recorded popular hit songs brought to life by specially-choreographed dance sequences.

With intercontinental creative personalities sharing the same vision as The Group Entertainment -- Gerard Salonga, internationally-acclaimed conductor and musical director from the Philippines, arranged the music featured in the show; Jason Coleman, Australia's top choreographer, added sizzling moves to the series; and Massimiliano Della Maggesa of the MTJ brand, renowned make-up extraordinaire, provided his creative flair - the show is set to be a visual masterpiece that will tempt the senses.

The Kitchen Musical will be transferred to the stage in the third quarter of 2012 by the Singapore Repertory Theatre. It has signed a deal with US company Electus to produce the content and distribute it across a variety of platforms in the US and around the world.

The Kitchen Musical is sponsored by Anchor Butter, Nestlé All Purpose Cream and Nestlé D'Lite Cream and is in partnership with Republic Polytechnic, Fiji Water, Zwiesel Asia Pacific and Schnap Studio. (PR)

Want Google+ Invites? Here's How!

Google+ is Google Inc.'s newest baby that is said to rival the social networking world. It was officially launced on June 28, 2011 in an invite-only "field testing" phase. Same as with other social networks, only users above 18 years of age is allowed to create their accounts. (But of course, young kids can do fake the year of their birth to join.) 

However, in the following day, after the launch, Google+ changed the way of their invite policy because of too many and insane demand for accounts that I think is affecting their service. So, today, Google+ member has only 150 invites to give out to their 150 treasured friends.

Not a part of Google+ yet? I still have 150 invites to give away!


How to GET invites?

In just two simple steps, I would give you the invite you've been waiting for! Expect your invite to be given right away!

Facebook Emoticons... Most of Us Don't Know

I'm a facebook fan. I mean everyone of us is. 


But if you are not... then, scroll down, click the FB logo after my signature (Yes, the blue box with the "f" letter in white font). Sign your name, e-mail, password, birth date, etc. and voila... Hello FB world!



I, sincerely, believe that FB creates a different world for all of us. More than a social network, it's like a dungeon, a chamber that connects us to a magical world where we can meet people million miles away, where we can keep in touch with long lost friends, where we can display affection without being embarrassed... It's a place where all of us can be real and un-real. 


But let's not talk about more introductions about FB. We all know what it is and love it 
as it is. 


I'm writing this blog to unleash Facebooks' hidden emoticons, that I think most people I know... don't know yet. 


With that, I would like to share these emoticons:



:-* - kiss
^_^ - happy eyes
-_- - squint
O.o - confused
>:O - upset
♥ - heart
:v - Pacman
:|] - robot
:) - happy
:( - sad
:P - tongue
:D - grin
:O - gasp

8) - glasses
B) - sunglasses
:3 - cute/cat-like
>:( - grumpy
:/ - unsure
:’( - cry
3:) - devil
O:) - angel
:putnam: - Chris Putnam (Facebook Engineer)

Could you believe it? There are still Facebook secrets we don't know and there could be more.... we just haven't discovered yet! What are you waiting for? Use these emoticons now!


Sometimes, words are not enough to say how you feel and an emoticon could be a great help! Take Care zupermians! :)

Love, now and always,

Mia
