Here’s a press release I found from the internet:

Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed new production of Boublil & Schönberg’s legendary musical LES MISERABLES will launch its Asian tour in Manila in March 2016 with tickets going on sale on Tuesday, 29 September.

“I welcome the new production of LES MISERABLES to Manila for the first time, and I’m certain that Filipino audiences will be thrilled to see this much-loved and celebrated show at The Theatre at Solaire. Home to two of the musical’s leading ladies, in the role of Fantine, Tony Award-winning star Lea Salonga and Rachelle Ann Go, Manila’s run of LES MISERABLES is presented by SMART Infinity,” announced by Bambi Rivera-Verzo, President of Concertus Manila.

Cameron Mackintosh is thrilled to bring the production to Manila, having celebrated triumphant performances in Melbourne, Perth and currently playing in Sydney.

“Having created my new production over five years ago to celebrate the 25th anniversary of LES MISERABLES, I’m both thrilled and astonished that the very differently designed, new production of this musical has proved just as successful all over the world as the original production that is about to celebrate its 30th anniversary in London–the only place in the world that you can still see the original production. The new production is currently in its second year on Broadway, having broken box office records across America and in Canada for over three years, with separate companies in Japan, Korea, Spain and currently a huge success in Australia sweeping all the top awards,” Cameron Mackintosh said.

He added, “After its Sydney and Brisbane run, I’m delighted to be bringing this new version to Manila in March, with a wonderful cast that include the current London star playing Fantine, acclaimed Philippine actress Rachelle Ann Go–who received enormous acclaim when I took her to London to appear as ‘Gigi’ in my hugely successful new production of ‘Miss Saigon’. Over the last 25 years I have had a wonderfully rewarding relationship with Filipino talent, introducing the best of them to audiences around the world–so I’m thrilled that this time one of my productions can be seen in its full splendor in Manila.”

Joining Rachelle Ann, following his recent Australian Helpmann Award win as the iconic ‘Jean Valjean‘ is Simon Gleeson. Valjean’s lifelong antagonist ‘Javert’ will be played by Earl Carpenter, direct from his performance of the role in the Broadway company of LES MISERABLES. One of the world’s greatest musicals, this new production of the much-loved blockbuster features glorious modernised staging, orchestrations and dazzlingly reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. This new version of LES MISERABLES is not to be missed.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century revolutionary France, LES MISERABLES is a much loved blockbuster musical which has been seen by over 70 million people worldwide in 42 countries and in 22 languages, LES MISERABLES is undisputedly one of the most popular musicals of all time. Having won more than 100 major awards around the world, it has been hailed as the most stirring, moving musical ever. Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, it is an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit. The magnificent score of LES MISERABLES includes the classic songs “I Dreamed a Dream“, “On My Own“, “Stars“, “Bring Him Home“, “Do You Hear the People Sing?“, “One Day More“, “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables“, “Master of the House” and many more.

Get All Your Needs At Robinsons Townsville Cabanatuan

Although I have been living away from Nueva Ecija for more than half of life, I have seen how my province prosper, specially Cabanatuan City. Since our family moved in Cabanatuan from Talavera, we already considered the city as our home. The thing is, I never really had the chance to really explore this city. Thanks to my sister, her tour inside Robinsons Townsville Cabanatuan, made me saw a better view of Cabanatuan as a shopping destination in Nueva Ecija. Here’s how she described her recent Robinsons Townsville trip:

As soon as we enter Robinsons Townsville, we go straight on the 3rd level. Can I say that this is one of my favorite floor here? Well, because I can shop at the ladies area while my husband look after our kids at Toms World. That’s their happy place. The ladies area is adjacent to the babies, toddlers, kids and teens clothing. I can also shop for their clothing needs while they are busy playing. They really have a wide-range of choices for babies, toddlers, kids and for teens.

After getting all I need (emphasis on I since my husband and my kids are not done with their “shopping” yet), my next stop is the bags section and home section at the second floor so I can buy some baking tools for my kitchen! I also got a glance at the men’s section (also located at 2nd floor) saw that they have good formal wear as well as semi formal.They have an ongoing promotion for jeans- wear your favorite jeans and get 10% off on the same brand. Timing that my husband needs a new pair of jeans.

I hurried back to the 3rd floor and told hubby the good news I found. But before going down, he checked the area for big boys, to see if he could have an addition to his Xbox cds at home. Me and my two boys check out Toys R Us which is also located at the 3rd floor. I promised them that we will go back next month for the toys they want to buy. We will also be back to check Robinsons Appliance Center that is inside the Robinsons Department Store. We need to check a few appliances we are planning to buy for our home. I also need a new lipstick, good thing they also have a beauty section! My husband also needs to go back at The Handyman store.

Before going home, we hit the Robinsons Supermarket for our produce! Oh I found out that the supermarket is now easier to shop with, I noticed different colors of their price tag, and I learned a lot of things about it! For regular price product, look for white; for sale products, look for yellow; for a healthy product, look for green and for their Superbrands product, look for orange! After we shop at the wet section for pork and beef slices, we go to the veggies section and they have a variety of fresh produce to choose from! I also found some Japanese noodles at the imported section as well as spices.

Robinsons Townville Cabanatuan is now a real convenience for the whole family and also for the community. We can shop, play, bond, eat and have lots of fun

Cheaper By The Half Dozen

When we learned about this pregnancy, I was shocked. It’s not a mixed feelings, it’s really shock and nothing on excitement. I wish I could say it was just a few minutes of selfishness but it was not. It lasted quite a long time before the shock turns into excitement. Having a lot of kids is not that easy and then another one? Oh no no no no…

However, I realized that this is such a huge blessing! Not just the fact that we were able to produce another human being but also because this baby came at the right time. We’re moving to our new house and our finances are doing good. As compared to when we had my other kids, those were difficult, but now, life is easier! There is no more reason to be afraid.

And as the husband puts it, we can always find ways for “our time” even with a new baby.

But still, a part of me is is having a hard time accepting it… I just don’t know if I can still give that much love to another baby.. specially after Sati. She’s our only girl and I couldn’t deny the fact that I am so in love with this princess. I am just do not know if I can love this coming baby as much as I love her…

Of course, my kids are all excited! Sati really loves the idea of her being a big sister and she loves it when we call her “ate”. So I accepted my new baby wholeheartedly with a promise of loving her/him the same way I love ate and the kuyas.

But God has a way of getting the best out of me. Seeing how easy motherhood was for me and knowing I can very well take care of my kids.. He gave us not just one, but two babies!

We’re having TWINS!

To say we’re excited is understatement! Sobrang nakakakilig itoooo!! God really knows what we need.. and though it would be very challenging for us, we’re ready to face it with His guidance.

I started writing this blog post a month ago… and while I wait for my first trimester to end before publishing this blog post, we learned that the other baby vanished… the condition I experienced is called Vanishing Twin Syndrome. If want to know more about VTS, please read my blog post about it: Vanishing Twin Syndrome is True And I Experienced It
