Wait for my post about the play once I have the copy of the play. I am pretty sure that you will all like it guys. Just like Amor Vincit Omnia, it is also composed of three stories. You will get to see how good are the people of the Philippines in writing this kind of stories. Here is the trailer.

Amor Vincit Omnia
Today is March 1, 2012. Today is the play date of my former organization. Everyone is invited. Students, teachers, youth and even adults. I remember the days when we had the play 'Amor Vincit Omnia' which means love conquers all. It is really worth remembering. They will be presenting today the "Amor Vincit Omnia II'. Let me share to you the story of AmorVincit Omnia.
It was a fantastic play.It is originally written by the group. The play is composed of three stories entitled 'Eros','Kupido' and Valentin. See the video below for you to see the full trailer.
- The first story was 'Eros'. This is the dramatic part of the play. Eros is a family man. He loves his family so much and that is according to him. He has a very loving wife named Althea and a very loving mistress named Ava as well.he loves his mistress more than his wife. He actually asked his mistress to move in their house together with his wife and his children. They all stay in one house. He treats his mistress as a queen and his wife as a slave. As days go by, his daughter died because she is trying to find Eros. His wife is really mad up to the point that she gave up and left Eros. Eros realized that he loves his wife more than his mistress but it's too late for them to be together again for Eros died because of cancer.
- The second one is a comedy play. There is this guy named 'Kupido'. He is a family man who was left out by his husband because of the fact that he is very stupid. He knows nothing. He is a balot vendor.he decided to be with a rich Chinese businesswoman so that he and his family will survive.
- Lastly is the story of 'Valentin'. Valentin is a child whom his mother was killed by the people because of kidnapping the ladies in their place and forcing them to marry Valentin.Valentin left the place and when he came back, people on their place are killed one by one. So people think that he is having a revenge to them because of what they did to his mother. They also wanted to kill him but they found out that his mother came back for revenge since she shouted to all that no one can hurt her son anymore.
All About A1
Ladies, gentlemen, young, young adult and even adult surely know this boyband. They are the a1 who started 2001 and has conquered Europe with their first single "be the First to Believe" and their revival of the song "Take on Me" They are composed of three Brits namely, Ben Adams, Paul Marazzi and Mark Read and one Norweigan name Christian Ingebritsen.
The band end up when Paul Marazzi decided to leave the band for some personal reasons. Two years ago, the three members (Ben, Mark and Christian) decided to reunited by popular demand. They are now launching their album entitled "Waiting for Daylight".
Here is the lyrics of their song in the album so that you can relate while listening to them.
"Waiting For Daylight"
I miss your breathing
When sleep doesn't come
I cant help pretending you'll be home
I cant face the future
Now your in the past
Seems all of the best things never last
[Chorus]
But there's no use in crying
There's no point denying
I'm waiting for daylight to come
They say I get through this
But how could they know
How can I make it on my own
Your here in the shadow
You cover my heart
And I hear you whisper in the dark
[Chorus]
But there's no use in crying
There's no point denying
I'm waiting for daylight to come
I don't wanna let you go
But in time
But in time
I'll wake up for all I know
I'll be fine
[Chorus]
But there's no use in crying
There's no point denying
I'm waiting for daylight to come
When sleep doesn't come
I cant help pretending you'll be home
I cant face the future
Now your in the past
Seems all of the best things never last
[Chorus]
But there's no use in crying
There's no point denying
I'm waiting for daylight to come
They say I get through this
But how could they know
How can I make it on my own
Your here in the shadow
You cover my heart
And I hear you whisper in the dark
[Chorus]
But there's no use in crying
There's no point denying
I'm waiting for daylight to come
I don't wanna let you go
But in time
But in time
I'll wake up for all I know
I'll be fine
[Chorus]
But there's no use in crying
There's no point denying
I'm waiting for daylight to come

My Ever Favorite Boyband
Let us first have a break on stage confessions. Let me tell you how disappointed I am until this day. Okay, here is the story.
Last January, my cousin and I agreed that we will watch the concert of our favorite boyband- A1. I really love seeing them perform on stage. That concert was done just this February 25. It's been 10 years since they last visited the Philippines and this is the moment that we are waiting for. Last January I got my job. I sent a message to my cousin that I cannot attend their concert since I have a job on 25th. She was so disappointed then and she really asked me to tale a leave but I refused. On my surprise, I looked at my calendar last Saturday and the date it February 25!! Just then I remembered that I saw Jabuary 25 which has a day of Wednesday (workday) and not February 25, Saturday (non-working day). I wasn't able to watch the concert while my cousin did. I guess, it will again took a decade before seeing them again. I really hate myself for that.
A1 is a British-Norwegian pop group. Originally, they are four in the group (Ben Adams, Mark Read, Christian Ingebritsen and Paul Mrazzi). Paul decided to leave the band for some personal reason. This made the band to take a break on 2004. Last 2010, they decided to be reunited but this time they are only three. Acoording to them, they cannot change Paul that is why they don't look for another member.
Now, A1 are ready to conquer the world again. And I will surely follow them.

Stage Confessions Part 4
She was raped. This is how I understand her situation. I won't mention her name anymore. She is said to be the campus' girl. She is so pretty and so sexy. A lot of guys wants to date her but according to her, she likes adult guys than those who are younger than her.
She was a member of a theater group on their school. One night, during their rehearsals, while their president is in the office, she noticed that he is looking for some adult related sites. She did not mind it because that is normal among all men. The following day (play day), they started the play at 7p.m. There is a bed scene on heir play, she and their president are the ones portraying the characters.
On her surprise, their president started to undress her and started to make love of her. She cannot do anything because she doesn't want to ruin the show. All of the audience are shocked because it looks like a live sex drama. At that point, she is crying.
After the play, she wasn't able to see the president anymore.

Stage Confessions Part 3
This is the confession of my cousin named Greg.
There is this college student named Danny. He is in fourth year college and he has a friend named Greg. Greg is popular in school for having good scholastic record and for being the president of the student council. Aside from that he is also the president of their school's theater organization. Danny is also a member of this organization. This connection serves as a way for them to know each other. Although Greg is two years younger than Danny, he is more intelligent and well-respected than Danny. He actually has the qualities of a good leader. He is very competitive.
As days go by, Greg found himself in love with Danny. He is a gay and he really denies this fact eventhough he knew about it from the the very beginning. He tried courting girls but then stopped because of the fact that he is not really for girls. All he really want is Danny but he cannot tell it to him because he is afraid that he might loose his friend and this might be a very big scandal for him.
They share in an apartment for both of them are living in places which are far from school so Danny offered Greg to just move in his apartment. Greg controls himself very much. He controls himself of hugging Danny, kissing him and all of the things that he wanted to do as Danny's lover.
Greg gave Danny all of the lead roles on their stage plays. This made Danny very popular in school. He had the full scholarship and monthly allowance from the organization. This is all because of Greg since he is the president of the said organization. He gives everything that Danny needs. If Danny needs extra money, Greg gives him money without any hesitation. He bought him cellular phone, clothes, perfume and sometimes he spent a lot on their foods.
Danny is too numb that he cannot see what Greg really feels about him. One day, Danny told him that Lisa, the girl that he is courting is now his girlfriend. Greg doesn't know how to react. He really wants to cry but then he doesn't want Danny to see him. He just smiled and congratulates Danny about it.
The night came and he is still doesn't know what to do. He really wants Danny and he thinks that Danny is only for him. It is already 2 o'clock in the morning and Greg still cannot sleep. He looks at Danny and tears fell in his eyes. Having been hurt, he doesn't notice himself that he is starting to hold Danny. He started holding Danny's body up to the point that he is holding his c***. Danny was shocked and he pushed Danny away from him.
No words from his mouth, Greg go near him and started kissing Danny. He is very mad and he punch him on the face and told Greg to move out on his apartment immediately.
Greg moved out and he never showed his face to Danny anymore.
When I heared this story, I felt sad and happy about Greg. Sad in a way that he lost his friend just because of love but happy in a way that anyhow, he realized that Danny is not really for him. He also needs to be true to himself.
Note: I used code names for the privacy of the persons involved in the story. I also did not copy any writings of other.

Stage Confessions Part 2
Here is the second confession that I will be sharing with you. This confession is from a friend. He confess this to me about a year ago before my graduation day. We don't study on the same school but we are very close to each other. Let me stand from his point of view.
My name is Carl. I am 20 years old and a 4th year college student. I joined a theater group when I was in first year college for me to have a scholarship. I auditioned and luckily I passed. There I met new friends and I consider the organization as my second family. I love all the people there because they are all nice and very kind to me.
I had this closest friend of mine who is the former president of the organization. His name is Tom. He is in fourth year college and a very intelligent person. I consider him as my big brother. He helps me with my problems whether it's about school or about something personal. He really loves giving gifts. He always give me gifts like clothes, perfume, shoes, cellular phone, etc.He actually rent some escorts for me. According to him, I have to experience girls eventhough I'm still young. Honestly, I did not ask him to give me all of this things. I really get shy whenever he gives me these things but he keep on telling me that all the things that he has are mine. He loves me as his brother since he is the only child of his parents.
During our rehearsals, he helps me on how to portray the role that is given to me. He really teach me on how to become an effective actor on stage. Fortunately, I was awarded as the best actor in our school. I am really thankful about that. I always play the roles of major characters in our five plays. I know that if Tom is not with me, I cannot achieve those things and I cannot have the full scholarship which is really my aim before entering the field of theater arts.
It was Sunday then and we had our general rehearsal (Monday is our play day). We started seven in the morning and we end up at 12 midnight. Unfortunately, there were no transportation available then for me to reach home. He offered me to just stay on his apartment and wait for the morning to come. I said yes.
It was one o'clock in the morning when we reached his apartment. Both of us are tired to after taking a bath, we decided to take a rest. I was about to fall asleep when I felt something in me. Someone is holding my c***.
I felt so nervous and I kept on telling myself that I am just dreaming and it is not Tom who is holding it. But,. yes he is. I hold his hand and tell him to stop but he refused. I had no choice but to let him do what he want. I really wanna cry then. I don't know how to react. I don't know what to say. He took advantage of me and he really did a lot of unexpected things.I did not sleep all night. I waited for morning to come and as the sun rise, I left his apartment without him knowing it.
The next day, I saw him at school and he gets near me. I am really mad at him. I just don't show it. I don't like him to be near me anymore. On my surprise, he whispered to and said that if I changed my attitude towards him and if I told somebody about what happened, he will not give me the scholarship that I have now. I really don't know what to do. He want us to the same thing almost every night.
He is not the real Tom whom I consider my brother. I can't take it anymore. So what I did is I left the the university and transfer into another school. I am now working for my studies.
