sometime last week i got a text from ram, jean, and mary grace – and even an email or two. they were polling on what the next bible study material/topic the group should do. i am not the most faithful of texters, so i don’t think i was able to reply to all of them. i figured i’d settle for whatever the rest of the group chose since i did not feel strongly against or for any of the topics short-listed. (actually, i think any one of them would be great for learning and interacting.)

and so, it turned out, that the group’s consensus was to do the ‘loneliness’ study. since the material is a part of a series that included the ’self-image’ study which the cveliches conducted in the 90s, we we’re expecting some heart-piercing realizations, at least i was. and i, we, were not disappointed.

ram, the group’s dr. larry crabb (hehe), led the meeting. i was late so i didn’t catch the first part. (i arrived right in the middle of grace’s sharing, and i could have rudely interrupted her with my not-so-quiet arrival – sorry, gwacey.)

let me see what i remember from the discussion, without looking at the actual material. barney, the study’s writer (and namesake of the purple dinosaur! we just had to make the connection :) ), enumerated three types of loneliness: circumstantial loneliness, chosen loneliness, and core loneliness. for each kind’s definition and the biblical perspective on loneliness, you have to join us on wednesday nights! (hah!)

seriously. as the old saying goes, the more the manier! (yeah, yeah, corny.) we’d love to have new people join the group and journey with us as we explore loneliness. fear not, it won’t be all nose-bleeding seriousnes; we promise a healthy dose of looney-ness too! meetings are on wednesdays, 8PM; mcdo philcoa (default, but may be changed from time to time).

and now for the “bati” portion (ala tambayan logbook!)…

welcome back, k’jaime! :) da tatay is back! yebah.

ram-boi, thanks for leading the study and for procuring the material :)

mele, da future national artist – God bless you as you move to your next “mission field.” get settled in bangkok soon – we’re having talks of an invasion next year! and, ‘along those lines’ (hehe), we will miss ya.

jeanix, sheba, and charm – the midnight society lives! shall we meet again? :) (except for you, shebs. nosebleed ka muna kaka-english jan sa esteyts.) jeanix – you took pics last wednesday, didn’t you? upload! salamat sa coordination ministry! :) charm, your honor, hello :D

grace – thank you for weaving together the different write-ups on rebooked :) God satisfies the hungry hearts!

trina – take care of the hiyas books! (hehe) btw, the dvd you gave me is blank :(

master roovin – we missya, dude! hope to see you sooner than later. thanks for designing the uber-kewl header image! (ako yung third from the left! cute pala ako pag burado ang mukha! hahaha!)

TRUMPETS PLAYSHOP AND STAGES’ PRODUCTION OF DISNEY’S HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

STAGES recently got the nod of Disney Theatrical Productions and Music Theatre International (MTI) to mount the newly adapted stage musical based on Disney Channel’s hit original movie “High School Musical” in the Philippines.

Since Emmy-winning “High School Musical” premiered on Disney Channel U.S. last January, it has been televised 13 times and was seen by over 37 million viewers. Its maiden telecast alone set record-breaking ratings for Disney Channel. The TV movie has since established ratings records in Australia and South East Asia. In the Philippines, “High School Musical” ranked no. 1 in its timeslot beating all other kid TV channels during its premiere telecast.

Moreover, the TV movie’s soundtrack is the top-selling album of the year to date in the U.S., selling over 2.7 million copies. Its DVD release has sold over 2.3 million copies since May, making “High School Musical” the best-selling TV movie on DVD of all time. A junior novel based on the Disney movie landed on no. 1 spot in the New York Times’ bestseller list (children’s paperbacks). Music sheets for guitar, piano and vocals are also selling like hotcakes.

“High School Musical” follows the sugar-sweet story of popular high school basketball star Troy Bolton and timid, math genius Gabriella Montez who discover that they share a secret passion for singing, and must learn to break free from their cliques’ typical expectations in order for the two to fulfill their dreams.

Both TV movie and stage versions of “High School Musical” boast of catchy “break into song” production numbers, which include “Start of Something New,” “Get’cha Head in the Game,” “What I’ve Been Looking For,” “Stick to the Status Quo,” “When There Was Me and You,” “Bop to the Top,” and “We’re All in This Together.” The soaring duet and U.S. Billboard Top 4 hit, “Breaking Free,” two new songs, and a “High School Musical” Megamix complete the song list in the adapted full stage version.

Trumpets Playshop and STAGES’ production of “High School Musical,” which will be mounted at the Meralco Theater starting this June, will cast young heartthrob Sam Concepcion as the musical’s male lead, Troy Bolton. This will be Sam’s big stage comeback after the hit “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” which was staged four years ago. He was enrolled with Trumpets Playshop’s advance musical theater class when he was just nine years old. He later took up street dancing classes. Soon after, he was competing in ABS CBN’s first season of “Little Big STAR,” where he grabbed the Brightest Star title. Also managed by STAGES, Sam has been featured in various ABS CBN soaps like “Super Inggo,” “Your Song,” and “Walang Kapalit” with Piolo Pascual and Claudine Barretto. He is currently dubbing the voice of Yukio Tanakar for Japanese anime, “Beck” to be shown over Hero Channel.
