This is Different

Written by: Roman Gerard T. Podico

A heart beats for us to live

but it doesn't end there, I know and I believe.

It somehow beats as normal as everyday

yet it seems different now coz you're on my way.

Before you we're just a nobody,

but just when I saw you, I feel simply happy.

This happiness is different from all the other.

It's the only thing I could remember

and I couldn't remove it from my mind either.

This is so unusual to feel and experience

because there's a difference I see

in how you look and the way you smile so gently.

You're not as handsome as fairy tales would say

but your eyes and your smile is as handsome as 

fairy tales could have ever tell.

I kept asking myself, "Why does it have to be you?"

Where I could find anybody else out there who smiles like you do.

But yours is really a unique and amazing sunshine

that makes my day and stops the time.

I think this is more than what I've expected to happen

to feel something amazing and to be inspired again.

I think and I know this already happened,

but I really really think that this is different.

"LIGHTS, CAMERA & ACTION!"

| Director shouts |

Likas Teatro, a socio-cultural club or might as well a theatre club in my school, Notre Dame of Dadiangas University here in General Santos City started doing theatrical plays since before our moderator/director resigned. Before we started acting, we were doing mash-ups and operatic performances w/ the help of our violinists and cellists in our school celebrations. Then came to this point were we have to shift from pure musicality to the core of theatre acting. I was a member of this club for 4 years but unlucky my last year was our first performance in acting. Our first performance was entitled "The Dancers" in which I was the master propsman (I can't find the poster I made). Then we took our big break with our next play "Behind the Sin" which I played as a very irritated Director.

After I graduated, new batch of actors/actresses came and another play was done entitled "Halo-Halo", which was adapted from a dessert Halo-halo. A play about 4 different stories yet connected to each other. Each story is a different flavor for the audience to taste to.

Months went by and institutional celebrations came, The Intramurals. Every Intramurals and University Week of the school, Likas Teatro always prepares a play for the students and might as well the students are waiting for this. This years play is entitled "Patalim" ("Knife"). This was a remake of our latest play Halo-halo. In this play we changed the last story to something for intriguing, to something more striking and mysterious. This was really a good play for which it has been always the Star Performer of our club, Tessa Mae Alejado, who breaks the monotony of the play.

I will surely miss doing this stuff while studying. Theatre played a big part in my life and as well as in my career. Long Live Theatre! ^_^
