Life has been so busy lately that I've had time to see it only now, but I strongly recommend Mabining Mandirigma, a steampunk musical.
The libretto is by Nicanor Tiongson and it is Directed by Chris Millado. The lead, Liesl Batucan, is well worth watching just by herself. She is guaranteed to move. But this is more.
Though it entitles itself as a steampunk musical, it feels like part opera and part vaudeville, with bits and pieces occasionally clashing. I do not agree with some of the views portrayed, but the juxtaposition of different characters in the play and the different styles of performance was done adequately.
In style, this reminds me of Miss Saigon, in spirit, Hamilton, but its soul is Filipino. I would recommend any Filipino who loves musicals, and in fact, any Filipino to watch this.
Mabining Mandirigma will run at CCP until December 18 at the Little Theater.

Victoria's Secret Secret Craving
Looks like I'm ending the year on a sweet note:
I thought that I had finished this ages ago but I have a little bit left after all.

Dove Hair Therapy Hear Fall Rescue Shampoo
Another day, another shampoo tried. I don't know what I'll buy next after near emptying Dove's Hair Fall Rescue Shampoo.
I nearly didn't buy this because I was annoyed at Dove for not having an anti-dandruff shampoo marketed towards women... because only men get dandruff. Anyway, luckily (?) I've been more stressed out lately - and getting more hairfall as a result. I then picked this bottle up before buying it upon realizing what Trichazole probably meant.

How much water do you use in facial cleaning?
Today I tried washing my face and looking at how much water I used up. At full blast, I used enough water to fill up a basin... Enough to flush a toilet!
And if I washed my face at least twice a day, how much was I using on that alone!? It got me thinking about how wasteful we can be without realizing. Therefore, some early resolutions for the new year I plan to adopt:
1. Use low flow settings during face washing.
2. Turn the tap off while in the middle of doing things.
This should also apply to showering and the like.
What other bad habits should be broken, you think?
