You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown Musical to be staged in SM City Cebu

The iconic and endearing characters of the comic strip, Peanuts, created by Charles Schultz will be brought to the stage by Vaudeville Theatre Company and Create Cebu from February 17-19 at SM City Cebu.
The 1967 musical comedy, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown was created by Clark Gesner and was originally staged off-Broadway.


It has become a symbol of childhood memories and innocence. I remember watching this musical when I was younger and singing along with the Peanuts Gang. 

If you're part of the Baby Boomer generation or Generation X, you'll be able to recognize and relate to Charlie Brown, Sally Brown, Lucy and Linus Van Pelt, Schroeder, Marcie and Peppermint Patty. And who can forget about Snoopy and his bestfriend Woodstock.

The musical can be best described as A Day in the Life of Charlie Brown. It's a rollercoaster kinda day for our protagonist as he goes through his daily routine. 

Charlie Brown's journey of finding what it means to be a "good man" will lead him to a simple realization. 

The most popular song of the musical is "Happiness". It's lyrics invokes a kind of naivete that only children possess. The song is also a favorite of Lea Salonga and she sings this in her concerts together with her brother, Gerald.

18 'Beki' Words to Add to Your Vocabulary

The Philippines is truly a diverse country. Aside from having thousands of islands, fifty different ways to cook adobo, we also have hundreds of languages and dialects. Filipinos are also innovative. One of the popular lingo or slang that came about during the 20th Century is known as Swardspeak or Beki. The Philippine Gay lingo is built upon words, expressions, and existing languages (local and foreign). It's full of allusion to popular culture, celebrities, places, and even events. Bekispeak is unique and shows Filipino ingenuity and adaptability to culture.  In honor of Pride Month, one LGBT Advocate came up with a compilation of Beki words to help those who would like to learn the lingo.  I'd like to thank my brother, Angelo, for coming up with this helpful collection. I've always wanted to learn a new language.  Let the Beksionary be your guide. Here are 18 Beki words to add to your growing vocabulary.  1. Chanda Romero = Tiyan 2.

21 Writers and Poets Who Died Tragically

The tortured genius. The starving artist. The antisocial behavior. The free spirit. The wandering soul. The lost generation. When we hear or read these descriptions, who comes to mind? Our answers will all be the same --- the writer, the poet, the author. Literary artists who live by the power of their words; the might of their pen. But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives ...

Colon Street's Forgotten Heritage Markers

C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma...
