">Being a grown up means having been a child first! Ateneo blueREPERTORY proudly launches its 17th season with Summer of ‘42, a warm, wistful musical that ventures through the eyes of three 15-year old boys as they come to discover the paradox of love and sex at a time of war. Hermie, Oscy, and Benjie welcomes what would be an unforgettable summer on an island off the coast of Maine. Their thoughts, once occupied by baseball, have now turned to girls and thus pubescent mishaps ensue.

">From meeting girls to trying to get to second base, the boys stumble awkwardly on. Hermie befriends Dorothy, a young bride whose husband is fighting in the war. Between the two of them, he discovers a friendship unlike any other. On that fateful summer, Hermie learns a valuable lesson about life, love, sex, and the scope of human compassion.

kailan...

kailan
kailan mo ba mapapansin
ang aking lihim?
kahit anong aking gawin
di mo pinapansin.

kailan
kailan hahaplusin ang pusong
bitin na bitin
kahit anong gawing lambing
di mo pa rin pansin.

Ako Lang Ang Nagmahal...

Sir Vince chose me to sing this song. Needless to say, it's one of my favorites. I am honored to have been the one to sing this song. Salamat Sir...



Ako Lang Ang Nagmahal
Words and Music by Vince De Jesus

Sa aking pag-iisa… ika’y biglang lumapit
At bago ko namalayan ako’y umibig sa ‘yo
Sa isang saglit akala ko’y di na magwawakas
Aking mundo’y lumawak at nagpumiglas
At nangarap na parati kang kasama
Sana bawat gabi’y kasiping ka

Sa himbing ng tulog ko ang panaginip ko’y ikaw
At sa ‘king paggising ikaw pa rin ang lahat
Ilang taon akong kumapit ng pagkahigpit
Parang malinaw ang lahat kahit nakapikit
At umasa ako na lagi kang kasama
Basta’t ang nais ko’y laging kapiling ka

Ngunit tamis ng pag-ibig ay pinatatabang ng panahon
Hindi lahat ng kuwento’y masayang nagwawakas
At bago ko namalayan di mo na ako kailangan
At ako’y muli ngayong nag-iisa
Siguro nga’y umasa akong magtatagal
Ang init ng iyong halik naglahong parang panaginip
Ako lang siguro ang nagmahal
