musicals.

On Thursday I went to the Ahmanson Theatre to watch Spring Awakening the musical. Spring Awakening is a musical that has won 8 Tony Awards and they deserved each of them. It was just amazing. I had seen a version of this play before and for me it was alright. Granted when I first saw it, the play was not turned into a musical. The musical version was so well done and had such a modern twist to the music and brought a good sense of humor, which was very refreshing. The story line of this play is not true only about the time it was written in, but also for today. The play dealt with adolescence, temptations, and the uninformed lives they live in because it was taboo to talk about things like sex. This play can evoke many emotions. Well it could have just been me, but I’d like to think anyone can relate to any of the subjects the play touches.

I highly recommend that you catch this musical while its in your area. Right now its in LA until December 7.

beauty.

I saw this image coming home last week. Been meaning to post it. But the picture was nothing in comparison to seeing it in real life. The sun setting behind me was just beautiful. The sky looked to be engulfed in reds, yellows and oranges. Almost like a painting. I guess you can say life is always a painting. We are the artists trying to make a master piece out of our lives.

Hope you all enjoy.

holidays.

So, I have been noticing that almoast everywhere I go there is some sign of Christmas. Christmas is just around the corner, but still far enough for a wait. Thanksgiving on the other hand is in my sight, but yet you do not see much of Thanksgiving decorations anywhere. It is all about Christmas. I like the holidays. Even though it brings sometimes the worst in people, it still brings joy and happiness to many.

This week I went to The Griffith Observatory. Didn’t get to see the stars this trip.  Maybe next time. There better be a next time (hint hint ;] you know who you are). I remembered many things from when I first went there many years ago. But a lot has changed due to the renovations. While JDiaz and I were there we may have seen a celebrity with his kids. This celebrity was Freddy Rodriguez who plays Gio in Ugly Betty. I was totally freaking out trying to figure out if it was him. I wanted to saw something, but I got to scared too. And I also didn’t want to look like a fool if I was wrong. But nonetheless, I had tons of fun at the Observatory despite the fact that parking was 5 miles away.

Have a good weekend!

times we want to take back.

I was thinking about my past.  Yes, I know we should not dwell on the past, but i found some things in my life i wish i could take back, things I may have taken for granted at the time. Some times I want to turn back the clock to when everything was easy and simple, nothing to worry about. unfortunately, those times have come and gone. I am not saying I regret anything…well maybe i do in some way, but i guess you can say i learned from it.

I guess today is just one of them days that i wish i was five again and nothing mattered to me more that just having fun, having nothing to worry about, just absolute freedom from the real world and the troubles it brings. Those were the days I wish I could go back to, but that will never happen in real life. Maybe in my dreams I will be able to escape it all, the real world, for just a moment to be able to be five again.
