Well, on Broadway side my fetish is always on the rise. Just opened Facebook and saw the face of a Samoan. His name is Nick Afoa and was now the new face of Simba in a 10 year reprised musical of the Lion King. I mean I like Lion King from the movie, the cartoon, to the stage play, I go crazy with it. I grew up with Hakuna Matata themes as what you know.
I read and watched his bio and I've read that he was a rugby player and was part of the team that won the World Cup in 2014 for Australia. Now injured and retired he didn't lose hope but turned to his other talent which is singing. Last year he auditioned in London for the Simba role and was chosen among the 400 people who auditioned. His story was a very inspiring story and now he is blessed with a much higher responsibility to himself and the ensemble.
Whereas, Jason Raize was the first Simba who played in the Broadway and won an award. His story was also a very inspiring story and I respect both people for standing and rising to the occasion. Jason's story was the saddest one for me. Growing up as a gay person forsaken by his father Jason's story success was tainted with depression and a lot of downhill and downstreams. He died eventually at a young age and was forever gone.
But I love both people with their roles and I will forever not forget the talents that they've shared to us. Thank you guys. Will do more research later and reprise this article. Thank you for your patience.

Dutertards
Haist.... It's been a while guys, huh. I know.... I have a lot to amend now. Oh, how I could handle this. But anyways, thanks for the support guys. It's great to know that you're all there behind the dark clouds, for I know when the night ends the sun will rise. Thanks for everything guys.
I am super happy that the elections in the Philippines culminated in a safe manner. The presidential position was unanimous and that the vice presidential post was the one that is on the wait. Hopefully, the Filipino nation is rejoicing at this moment because they have a president who is loved by the people and the only person that can help them with the common ills of the society.
Yeah, I borrowed the word from the election that was always been equated to the avid followers of the president elect Duterte. "Dutertards" is the word that always resonated in my mind. It has a lot of meaning but the best meaning that I could probably coin for it is the.... people who avidly followed Mayor Duterte, who is always on his back, and the one that will always defend him in social network from the latter's bashers.
I myself can be considered a Dutertard, because I support the beloved Mayor's ideologies and philosophies. He is one tough guy that can only straighten the problems of the Philippine society. With his 20 years track record as mayor of the city of Davao, I can say that the mayor is the only person fitted for the position. Now, I consider myself a Dutertard. Although, I don't have the knack to make comments in social media, I can consider myself as an observer, I guess.
There's also another meaning that was coming out on the online streams but it was negativity put meaning on. Dutertards was to them meant as retards who loyally follow a tough and foul-mouthed mayor. Such a degrading meaning but lo and behold it doesn't matter anymore because the Dutertards started to rise now because they won the victory in the end despite of myriads of criticisms from the elitists and the media.
It just that it was their last laugh in the end because the victors will rose up in the end. What an irony but it is the fact. Yeah.

Anticipating The Electoral Discipline
Well, four days from now and the new president of the Republic of the Philippines will emerge victorious. That's how I've been very excited to see because the race for the position was very hot right now just like a hot baked cookie ready to be served for the eager participant.
I've been following up the trend regarding the presidential race and I cannot held my irked ego because of dirty politics in the Philippines. It is very unnerving to watch the arrogance of some politicians ready to topple the dignity of the oppressed one. I am just surprised that they have to resort to some below the belt comments and tactics despite of their prestigious prestige and ranking in the society.
It's kinda unbelievable but it is how it is and the masses were all ears I believe. To me it is really very bothersome to really resort on those kind of tactics. I mean respect should have been imposed despite of the black propaganda but it seems that other politicians were very enthusiastic maligning others.
It's quite thrilling and at the same time pulse pounding, endlessly waiting for May 9, which culminates all these below the belt tactics and for the country to have a new beginning. A place that once had lost it's identity because of corruption and prestige. It was disheartening to have been in those unstoppable situation but it must probably happen because people as just maddeningly tired and exhausted of the non-substantial promises of the traditional politicians.
For several months, I've been reading articles to articles regarding the election trends and it is very surprising that other countries were just really interested in change as well. It might be scary to not know the difference but all I can say is that we are all entitled to our own opinion and not that of others to demonize other people despite that they have done nothing to hurt others.
It seems that the tolerance of the society was been lost already. People can just slam others without even considering the fact that what they are doing is hurtful to others. There should be somebody who can oversee such alleged propositions and that it should not happen again.
The one lesson I've learned growing up had always been reverberating in my mind because it reminded me of my mom who always told me to always look back to where I came from. But anayways, it was a very inspiring one liner that I always wear in my breast just to remind me that I am a human being vulnerable of getting harmed.
Thank you though for your concern and hoping God will continue to inspire you as you go a along enjoying His promises. Amen to that!
