I had this written in one of my Facebook posts sometime when the musical was being shown at Resorts World Manila. However, I have forgotten to have this included in by blog. Thanks to the Youtube livestream from last night by the defunct ABS-CBN franchise, I was brought back to memory lane.

Note that the livestream here featured a different set of cast, more specifically the younger Joy, Hector, AJ and Emman.

I never thought I’d cry in a musical paying homage to the best OPM band on the golden age of OPM Music in the 90s.

I had a few ideas in mind that may be interesting for a fictional story and I had them bulleted just so I could get back to them once I got the vigor to write about it more (or if for some reason, the god of “kasipagan” gets in my body and takes over it. LOL.

Little did I know, 2020 has for everyone huge surprises. Well, we all know what’s been happening during the first quarter of the year 2020. What I find interesting is that, I also got the same chaotic insight of what 2020 would be like in my mind. 🙂

I had this written back in February 2020. The story may run for a few years, but everything began in 2020. I had some comments in some of the bulleted ideas in there that I just added right now. And since this was written in the beginning of 2019, some of the information here from Feb 2019 up to present are no longer accurate, since I was only predicting them, or were just made up in my mind.

The plot goes:
