JonaLive

Lovers and vloggers Jonathan and Olive of the YouTube channel JonaLive reveal their separation via two super chats. As they emphasize their channel’s branding that “we receive the love we deserve,” the line separating online and physical realities is muddled by the murky realities of love.

Surviving Critical Conditions: Putting Up a Fight amidst Pandemonium over a Pandemic in the Philippines

Good morning from the panel “Surviving Critical Conditions: Putting Up a Fight amidst Pandemonium over a Pandemic in the Philippines” at the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Society Virtual Conference 2021, Singapore. Pati sa research ay collaborative at palaban ang approach. Salamat sa work ninyo! Excited to bring this home to the DSCTA.

MonoVlog at the Bodies:On:Live Magdalena:On:Line 2021 Festival

Tried for the first time to adapt and perform the MonoVlog on Zoom for an international audience at The Magdalena Project’s Bodies:On:Live Magdalena:On:Line 2021. Learned that the most powerful buttons were the mute and unmute buttons. Ibang creature talaga ang Zoom.

Thank you for the wonderful comments from all the participants! Thank you, Elizabeth De Roza, Janaina, Helen, and the Magdalena Team for creating this space and for all your hard work!

Humbled to present in a panel with Frederika Tsai and Bettina Fung. They are awesome! You may Google their works or go to the Magdalena website.

Salamat sa Pinoy friends, John Carlo Pagunaling and James Harvey Estrada!!

Layeta Pinzon Bucoy, from Australia to the world. English-english tayo. Na-translate pa sa Spanish na alam kong naiintindihan mo rin. Pwede na siguro tayo magBIGO LIVE.

P. S. may LED lights na po tayo sa canopy!

Grateful for the opportunity to work with colleagues from the UP Department of Speech Communication and Theatre Arts (DSCTA).

Akalain mo yun?

Salamat, Oscar Tantoco Serquiña for leading this panel! Salamat din, Charles Erize Ladia and Junesse Crisostomo sa comments, tawanan, cramming, chikahan, at health tips. Buy 1 take 3 po kami sa publication sana. Sana rin magtuluy-tuloy at lumaki pa ang ganitong writing group sa department.

Mapagpalayang pag-ibig sa inyong lahat sa 11 June, Friday, 8pm sa Ampalaya Monologues.

MananangGAL GADOT (MPAU)

I commissioned artist Malayo Pa Ang Umaga (fan niya ko dati pa!) to interpret MananangGAL GADOT, the resident mananaggal acting titser and MonoVlogger in Kumu. Di ba pag sa Zoom mukha tayo lahat manananggal performers? Ito yung character na nagtuturo kung paano gamitin ang buong body online. Grabe yung detalye ng bituka, monoVlogger talaga. Si Alejandro (bungo) ay may special appearance din. Hahaha. Ang manager ko po sa Kumu ay si Dr. Layeta Pinzon Bucoy. Gusto ko lang banggitin kasi siya talaga nagturo sakin. Paki tag si Sir Budjette, baka naman pwede isama sa Trese. Nahihiya akong i-tag siya kahit FB friends kami. Haha. Paki tag din si Gal Gadot.

Levitate!

Sa episode 9 ng Ang Paglalakbay ni Madam Tseter sa Kumuniverse ay pasan ni Madam ang buong daigdig kaya’t nagpatulong siya sa kanyang Levitate! Guru (@ericvdelacruz) para palutangin ang kanyang worries, duda, social climbers, bashers, at kung anu-ano pang nagpapabigat sa kanya. Maghanda para sa isang sensorial path to levitation!

Seasons of Love: Umaaraw, Umuulan, Climate Change na ‘yan

Pagpag muna bago lumipad ng Check Republic!

Sa episode 12 ng Ang Paglalakbay ni Madam Tseter sa Kumuniverse ay susuungin at lulusungin niya ang anumang panahon para maabot ang bawat Kumuzen. Ihanda na ang bathing suit, payong, ihaw-ihaw, salbabida, bota, ukay-ukay winter things, spring chicken, at diamond shower sa Seasons of Love: Umaaraw, Umuulan, Climate Change na ‘yan.

Ang pasma ay magsisimula ng 8pm, 25 June (Fri) sa Kumu Ampalaya Monologues.

P. S. Ang saya ng TAC posters ni Madam Tseter! Salamat, Ninong Mark Ghosn!
