If there is one thing you should know about me, it is that I am a theater baby!  I love the theater!  Specially musical theater!  If I did not fall in love with fashion, I would probably be in theater now.

.
When I was a wee bit of a boy of 6,  I did my very first play, “The King and I” and I was bitten by the bug!  To this day, my love for Musical theater is alive. Although most often, I am just in the audience or when I am lucky, I work on the costumes for the plays.

.
I am a La Salle boy through and through!  Green as they come so to speak.  From gradeschool, highschool and college!  I did not play basketball but I was in the Pep-squad in college which was actually surprisingly butch!  Although I won them all over with my  BOOMING voice, charm and my design prowess as I designed the pep-squad uniform all throughout college as well as our cheer dancers!  LOL!   All throughout college I would be part of those famous La Salle -Ateneo games and it would really be intense!

.
In high school, I was always in the theater productions in La Salle Zobel. There I met kindred souls whose love for theater is still on fire.  My parents were friends with Tito Ed Gatchalian whose son Gabby was in my year.  I am friends with all of the Gatchalian children and in fact, did the wedding of his daughter Geri.

.
My association with The Ateneo is more current but deeply meaningful. I work very closely with the Jesuit Priest Father Xavier Alpasa S.J. because of my Rags2Riches project.  I have many dear friends and family from Ateneo and have a full respect of their culture and institution.

.
Fast forward to this play that I am really excited about called RIVALRY!  When I look at the video attached to this entry, I see many familiar faces. Relatives, friends and people that I have worked with in all the various stages of my life.

.
I am really excited to see this show and I encourage you to block some days in January 2012 for the showing of this exciting musical!  Whether or not you’re from La Salle or Ateneo, I think you should come and see the show. You cannot deny that this is part of who we are a Filipinos!  See you at the show!
