Day 14/40: Sound of Music

Photo source here.

What started out as a simple wall post by a highschool batchmate to another highschool batchmate of planning to watch the musical, "Sound of Music" here in Manila turned to a lengthy exchanges and  roll calling and planning to watch it together instead of just the two of them. Haha. I am excited! 50% off pa! Keeping my fingers crossed! Hope we will get to watch the musical together. Musicals never fail to bring back highschool memories. It was those happy times that I learn to love the world of musicals and their music. I remember I almost memorized all the songs and the lines from the musical, Into The Woods. It was our batch play back then and I love that it was a "mash up" of the fairy tale stories. Definitely a must watch!

Hope this will actually push through. I wanna watch a musical LIVE played by experienced stage actors and actresses. Though I never dream of watching one in Broadway, I'd be really, really ecstatic if that would happen. :) Sharing with you one of the songs that my favorite Nanay back in highschool (our musical queen!) loves to sing and which I also love, I Enjoy Being A Girl in The Drum Song Movie. A fitting song for today's International Women's Day. Happy International Women's Day to every beautiful woman, inside and out, who is reading this piece. Who run the world? Girls! 

I would've want to post Lea Salonga's version but I can't find an actual video of the play. I am quite surprised that I still memorize half of the song. My most favorite line, "And my future I hope will be...in the home of a brave and free male...who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl... like... me." 

And oh, the number of comments on the wallpost as of this posting, 33! HAHA. Hope we actually will get to watch this together. Would love to catch up and rekindle old friendships with friends who left me a lot of good and fun memories. 

Links bookmarked!!!

I've been collecting lots of bookmarks lately. Web bookmarks to be exact. My top picks below:

Cute monster bookmarks! From Must Have Cute

• Cucirca TV series marathon, anyone? Woohoo! 
• Wonderopolis A general knowledge website. I love that they presented the information in bullet points, simple yet still full of information. Makes me feel so geek-y. Must tell my little brothers about this. They're gonna love it! 
• Join Me Great for working professionals who usually hold Skype meetings and screen sharing is necessary. And it's FREE!
• Learn Vest My top 1 pick! I badly needed an online application, a push, a read about how to maintain and organize my finances, and I finally found it in this website. Hope I'll be able to utilize it and actually use it. I already signed up. And they offer online bootcamps. For FREE! I love FREEbies! :)
• Khan Academy and Open Yale Courses As mentioned from my previous post, I really want to take up a crash course that'd help me in my work so I'm browsing thru these websites if they have related topics that I can read thru and listen to, parang classroom lectures lang, minus the classmates and the classroom setting.
• Stay and Hipmunk I'm saving and bookmarked this links for future travel plans and adventures. 
• Excercise TV Let's see if me and my roommates will actually get to use this. Haha. But I think it wouldn't be possible here in our room though. Hope a lot of their exercise videos are available for free.
• Summer Tomato Offer tips and recipes on healthy eating. Would want to share this with my Mama. We would need an inspiration for new recipes, fresh ingredients sourced from our front yard.
• Design Mom I am such a sucker for blogs which tells a story of their designing adventures. Just never fail to awaken my love for colors and design concepts.
• Wakerupper This is one interesting application. Need a scheduled alarm (other than your phone) to wake you up? Need to get away from a boring date? Need a quick break from a straight-whole-day meeting? You would definitely  need this! You can schedule from this website a phonecall. Pretty cool! Downside: It only works in US and Canada. Boo. 
• Free Rice I got addicted to answering the questions presented in this website for as good as an hour. And for every correct answer, they donate 10 grains of rice to World Food Programme. Go give it a try! 

Hope you'd be able to make use of the links that I shared above. How bout you, do you have any links that you might want to share? :)
