Why is Changing Partners considered a hugot musical?

The award-winning musical-turned-movie, Changing Partners, will have a re-staging and it's gonna be bigger and different! 

Changing Partners is actually a personal experience of the writer, Vincent de Jesus. It all started out with a story about a gay couple that eventually evolved, which made up this entire complex-looking storyline. Well to clarify, the storyline isn't really as complicated as you think as the actors put it. It's basically a single story told from different perspectives - straight couple, gay/lesbian couple, same age generation, and a May-December love affair. Now, that alone makes this production even more interesting to see.

During a quick chat with the people behind this successful production, we are to expect some changes on the piece for their fourth run - from the music, set design , to the way the actors take their roles, and applying some learnings they've had after doing the movie last year.

Changing Partners will have a limited run at PETA Theater Center on May 11, 12, 13, 19, and 20. Get your tickets now at Ticketworld!

Let's discuss about LOVE...

Changing Partners is considered to be a "hugot" piece of art that surely everyone can relate to. Love is a one thing that each and everyone experience regardless of the preference and status. So, why a "hugot" musical you ask? Listed here are some of the quotes I picked up during our conversation with the cast and creators as they shared their own experiences and learnings - be it personal or through the course of making this musical: 

• It is easier for younger people to fall in love because they're not as jaded as the older ones yet
• Older ones has a timeframe/deadline. Sayang 'yung nasa end ka na ng edad mo, tapos ang haba ng relationship, kapag nag-end, sad ka ulet. Mas masakit yun. 
• Throw all caution to the wind. Kung in love ka, in love ka na lang
• Kahit handa ka masaktan, it doesn't make the pain lesser. You just have to go through it.
• From the OST: Kung 'di mo sya kilala, madali kang maniniwala sa mga kwento n'yang akala mo'y totoo. 
• From the OST: 'Yung pakiramdam na gusto mong yakapin pero nasasakal. Itutulak ka, 'di raw s'ya makahinga.
• (For those who have failed relationships) Pick up the pieces and move on. Kapit lang!
• (For the millenials) Panoorin 'nyo para maisip 'nyo na dapat unahin 'nyo muna ang sarili 'nyo
• Relationship is a serious thing. You need to commit, you need to share, you need to be there all the time.
• Kung sa tingin mo hindi ka pa ready, don't enter that relationship.

Agree or you think otherwise? Let's have a discussion in the comments section below.

Kapuso Hunks are setting the stage on fire in Oh, Boy! and Oh, LOL! concert

A night full of laughter and sexiness - a promise that Oh, BOY! & Oh, LOL! leaves to all who are looking forward to this sexy comedy concert this May.

SEXY

A sexy comedy concert wouldn't be considered as such without the sexy part right? Adding spice to this one-night-only concert are Kapuso hunks Rocco Nacino, Derrick Monasterio, Jak Roberto, and One Up's Dave Bornea, who are all ready to set the Music Museum stage on fire with their hot performances. 

Most of you know that these guys already got great bods, right? But during an interview, these hunks shared that they have even doubled their efforts just to be at their perfect form in time for their concert. Sexiness for these gents, however, doesn't just mean showing skin. In the concert, they'll show sexiness through their wits and talents.  

Being part of the first batch of Oh Boy! hunks, Rocco shared that this time around, the show is going to be different. From the title alone, we can definitely expect a more fun and exciting show. How will they incorporate fun in sexiness though? That's mainly the job of the Kapuso comedians who will be joining them on stage.

FUN &LAUGHTER

Joining these Kapuso hunks are two of GMA's top comedian personalities - Donita Nose and Tekla. Their tandem became an instant hit when they appeared in Willie Revillame's Wowowin and we can't deny that fact even after their short stint in the afternoon variety show. 

In their upcoming concert, Donita Nose and Tekla will complete the viewers' experience as they throw their witty jokes and hilarious punch lines while staying clean and wholesome for all the millenials who are going to see the show. If you've seen their acts during their comedy bar days, you'll know that this show's gonna be a riot! 

As Rocco puts it, Oh, Boy! & Oh, LOL! is going to be a night of full laughter and sexiness that will leave people drooling after seeing the show. Book your tickets now and have fun on May 18, 2018 at the Music Museum in Greenhills.

Enjoy up to 50% restaurant discounts from Eatigo

When it comes to food, I don't really mind spending just to satisfy my cravings. However, there are some restaurants that are just way over my budget. Not that they are not worth every cent, but I'd rather save it for special occasions.

Good thing I was introduced to this newest food app for mobile phones - EATIGO!

What I love about Eatigo is that it gives you options on where to dine, PLUS it also gives discounts to as much as 50% when you reserve a slot to your chosen restaurant. Enticing right?

So, here's how it works:

1. Download and Install Eatigo from Google Play Store or App Store
2. Sign up with your account
3. Browse through the list of restaurants in the app 
4. From your chosen restaurant's page, select your preferred date of reservation, number of people dining, and your preferred time. Each time slot has a corresponding discount percentage.
5. Confirm your reservation 

Eatigo may be new to the market but they already have quite a number of decent restaurants on their list like Heat at Edsa Shangri-La, Alta at Ascott BGC, Ramen Nagi, Vengo, and Gelatofix, just to mention a few.

Eatigo’s mission is to connect empty tables with empty stomachs by offering time-based discounts at every participating restaurant, every day. It works for both diners and restaurants. Users can choose from upscale hotels to popular food chains, and even hole-in-the-wall establishments all at 50% off, making it possible for our users to conveniently dine out as frequently as they want without breaking the bank. The restaurants on the other hand get to fill their empty seats during off-peak hours, now that’s a win-win.
Angela Go, Eatigo Country Marketing Manager 

Other than the regular discounts, Eatigo is also having special campaigns that will surely excite you all foodies out there!

With Eatigo's WOW Wednesday, the app will offer 50% discount ALL DAY at your favorite restaurants on one Wednesday of each month. This promo will kickoff starting May 9 so stay tuned at the WOW Wednesday panel in the Eatigo app for updates.

In their Late Lunch/Early Dinner Specials, on the other hand, Eatigo will be featuring restaurants that will be offering 50% discount on specific times for one whole week of every month. And for this month, mark your calendars because you may avail this promo from May 21-27, between 3pm to 5:30pm.
