No Day But Today...

Finally…

I get to blog again… (even for just tonight)
I get to watch CSI on a weeknight…
I get to watch RENT…

Finally… after 45 years… thank God it was shown here in my country. Sad to say, it was placed on ONE cinema only at a location where the richest of the land is expected to watch…

Are they expecting the rich people would watch it? My, my… something is wrong with the picture here. May be my VBF would help me with the explanation. He speaks very well than I do ;)

The previous weeks can be an epitome of hell literally by the scorching heat of summer and at work…

Hell because my mind is junked and my performance can be graded as an F, for fat and flunking. I'm a clutter and useless creature––that's how I perceived as seen by my colleagues. Sh*t!!!



… was a perfect time. I thought.

I watched it with my VBF, as planned months ago. I knew he may not like ALL of it, at least he is a man of his word. He stayed with me and watched it. (I am thankful that he is the one with me when I watched this film. Couldn't think of any better person other than him... Mwuah!)

Generally, it was a nice movie. My VBF told me that the cast in the movie (except for Rosario Dawson) were the original cast of RENT in Broadway! Most of the songs are incorporated in the movie. Some may have been removed but still the "feel" of the play is somehow still there. They voices penetrated me, giving me goosebumps! All except for Rosario Dawson (sorry, girl!) My VBF and I find her voice "thin". I've seen the play in Broadway, bought the original broadway CD soundtrack and played it over and over in my iPod. Unfortunately, Miss Dawson wasn't able to gve justice to Maureen.

I wanted to watch it AGAIN (given a chance). Perhaps this time, I’ll be alone to “savor” the essence of the movie. May be I should get myself a DVD copy of it... hmmm...

Roger, Mark, Tom, Mimi, Benny, Joanne, Maureen and Angel.

Artists, may it be the Bohemians (as they are called), filmmakers, stage/street performers and the like… they are found to be “weird” but they are just like anyone of us. Knowing them and understanding them individually or collectively, they have a piece in each one of us. I may sound bias, I know they are fictional characters but I believe they somehow exist somewhere out there…. somewhere within us.

“Forget regret, or life is yours to miss…”

“No other road, no other way… No day but today…”

RENT will always be near and dear to me.
