IV. ANG TATAY MONG KALBO-theater of the absurd

Cast of "The Bald Soprano" Anti- play- Ang Tatay mong kalbo

Tatay Mong Kalbo is the tagalog rendition of The Bald Soprano. It's a play from the theater of the absurd. Last OCtober 9, 2015, we watched the "Ang Tatay Mong Kalbo" acted by Theatre Phileo, Together with my classmates at Asia Pacific College (APC) Multi-purpose hall one.

"The pianist"

The event started 2 o'clock in the afternoon with the opening prayer followed by the remarks of Philippine National Anthem. When the theatre begin, we, my classmates, can't deal with the story. To be honest, most of us are trying to figure out logically what is going on in the story. The story of "Ang Tatay Mong Kalbo" has a deep meaning for the audience. The words are chosen that's why it's hard to deal with it. Yes, me and my classmates says that the actors talking about nonsense thingies and also has nonsense scenarios. 

Joshua Dave Beredo, my bloc-mate. So I took this picture :) 

                     

One of our main reason for watching this including that this theatre is required for one of my our subjects, is because we need to support ou friends especially our bloc-mate Joshua Beredo. Yay! Go TM151 haha.

After watching this theatre there is a conflict in our minds. But thank you for our professor in World literature for clarifying the stories one by one. 

I really admire that I have enjoyed watching this theatre. Congratulations Theatro Phileo for another successful play.

III. Two parallel limns might some day meet.

I remember my childhood days, I always finding the answer if Destiny is real. Before, I'm a type of a litte girl who really wants to have like a Fantasy stories, I'm a princess that will gonna find out my Destiny and will live happily forever and after.

Where I can find my perfect one? 

So here's the story that might correlate what I wondering now.

Turn left, turn right.

Both are convinced

That a sudden surge of emotion bound them together.
Beautiful is such a certainty,
but certainty is more beautiful.

Because they didn't know each other earlier, 
they suppose that nothing was happening between them.
What of the streets, stairways and corridors
where they could have passed each other long ago?

I'd like to ask them whether they remember--
perhaps in a revolving door ever being face to face?
An "excuse" in a crowd or a voice "wrong number" in the receiver.
But I know their answer: No, they don't remember

They'd be greatly astonished to learn that for a long time
chance had been playing with them.
Not yet wholly ready to transform into fate for them it approached them
Then backed off, stood in their way and suppressing a giggle, jumped to the side.

There were signs, signals: but what of it they were illegible, 
perhaps three years ago, or last did a certain leaflet fly from shoulder to shoulder?
There was something lost and picked it up
Who knows but what it was a ball in the bushes of childhood. 

There were doorknobs and bells on which earlier touch piled on touch
bags beside each other in the luggage room.
Perhaps they had the same dream in a certain night,
suddenly erased after waking.

Every beginning is but a continuation, 
and the book of events is never more than half open.

Turn Left, Turn Right is a 2003 joint Hong Kong-Singaporean romance film, filmed in Taipe , Taiwan. Produced and directed by Johnnie To and Wai Ka-Fai the film stars  Takeshi Kaneshiro and Gigi Lueng. The story is based on the illustrated book A Chance of Sunshine by Taiwanese author Jimmy Liao, who makes a cameo appearance with his wife and daughter in the film. It is also the first Chinese Language Asian film ever from produced and distributed by Warner Bros.

As the synopsis of the story... The story goes with the two people who live in buildings right next to each other, separated only by a wall, and are always near each other but can't seem to find one another. Those character are John Liu and Eve Choi. So many days and nights passed by, So many barriers and struggles, in the end they have found each other. 

Like my imaginative mind says, Long before the world begun there is someone who is pre-destined to us. Just wait for Go's will, God's perfect time. 

As of now, I found out that this story is now includes to one of my favorites.

That day, I had no idea at all that there is a forum about History "stuffs." Mr. Ramos, our prof in History subject this last 1st term told to us that we need to go in auditorium. And all of the class “yey! no history subject!” “No class” shouted in their mouth. John Arcilla, Jerold Tarog and Xiao Chua are part of the talk that’s why it made the students alive. 

Xiao Chua ( a well-known great speaker and professor from the University of the Philippines) has a twist (joking around while teaching us) in discussing pictures of the Philippine Heroes. 

In the end, the talk convinced me to watched the movie. I found out that this movie is atypical from other history movies that I've watched before. A movie that has a twist. A history movie that will never get you bored and fall asleep. Well, thanks for this Forum because weI watched the 15 minutes clip of the movie that absolutely convinced me to watch it. 

September 23, 2015, the day I watched Heneral Luna together with my friends. Some of my friends says “History again? Duh it’s boring” But I convinced them to watch the movie because of my explanations that I already watched the 15 minutes of the movie and it’s atypical from usual history movies that we’ve been watched.

After the movie, I and my friends got many things that strike in our minds. Know why? because we found so many things about Heneral Luna. He was a scientist, he was a brilliant writer, he was an expert marksman and martial artist, he and Rizal almost had a duel, and he wanted a pre-emptive strike on the American.

Until now, me and my friends loved to joked around saying “Artikulo Uno” because the article says, if you don’t follow the Heneral you will murdered.

But the very thing that marked on our mind is who killed Heneral Luna? Because according to history, until today no one knows the killer and no one has a proof that killed Heneral Luna. The movie is so meaningful, surprising the rest amazing!

I read that Critically acclaimed biopic "Heneral Luna" has so far raked in over P230 million at the box office, making it one of the country's highest-grossing films to date.
