Pag-Ibig Ni Rama

Yesterday, August 26, 2006, the theatrical musical “Pag-Ibig Ni Rama” in which the protagonist, Rama, goes through his journey as set by his god Vishnu. Along the journey he meets his soulmate, Sita, in which they fall inlove. As they come to realise that Dasaratha’s third wife, Kaykeyi, has somehow convinced his father to proclaim his youngest son, Bharata, to be the next king. He was exiled from his kingdom, Ayodhaya, for 14 years. Upon his exile, his brother, Lashkmana, come along in his journey along with his wife. There, the demon, Ravana, along with his sister, Soorphanaka, faced them with temptations to tear them apart.

Writing about the play made me realise that I will certainly miss it. Not just the play… it’s more of the people inside the theater. They are a family to me and I have come to love them and hold them close to my heart. I don’t know when I will see them again.

There I have met people from all walks in life. No matter who you were, we are all family and are of equal.

I will certainly miss the tiring rehearsals, horsing around with my fellow actors, making props. Of all the things I could miss, I miss the people the most. 

As I performed three shows yesterday, all of the hard work and long rehearsal made it all worth it Just to hear the audience’s reaction to the scenes, the awe they expressed as we danced and sing. The of course, the resounding applause for a played. It was a great feeling that we made them realise that they didn’t waste their time in watching the play.

Do I have any regrets? Of course not. being in the play is the greatest feeling I could ever feel. Then again, I do have one… that being, me missing the oppurtunity to say what I really feel about HER.
