in my wish list

This is how I got stuck on "Memory" and the CATS musicale. I remember watching this performance (for the Tony Awards) through our old black and white TV via channel 9 (then the only channel available in Calbayog. How lucky can the new generation be). Anyway, CATS is in Manila. Betty Buckley or Lea Salonga, call it a roadshow or whatever, hey IT'S CATS!

And now the wishes, how I wish I get to watch see it at the CCP, how I wish to hear "Memory" and "Mr. Mistoffelees" and "Rum Tum Tugger" and "Jellicle Song" and whew, the list of songs goes on and on! How I wish!

I did try to make that wish come true but after doing the math (read: plane fare, hotel, taxi fare, show tickets and meals of course), I guess I had to settle for the CD (and yes, the cassette tape which I bought decades ago). Well there will always by YouTube and yes, hopefully some pirated stuff (don't take that line seriously).

images from the CKC Installation Ceremony

I recently got hold of some pictures taken during the installation of Rev. Fr. Marcelo Tubac, ofm as the new President of Christ the King College. The ceremony was held last June 11, 2010 at the San Damiano Chapel in Christ the King College. In attendance was Calbayog Bishop Isabelo Abarquez and some Calbayog clergy. Fr. Mar will be the OIC-President until the end of school year 2010-2011.

Here are some pictures courtesy of Bro. Ariel Manga of the CKC-MIS.
