Experience Follies de Mwah of CLUB MWAH! in Davao and Tagum

Breathtaking. Spectacular. Colorful. Death defying. Proudly gay.

Follies de Mwah in Davao

These are just the words that we can describe the upcoming show of the astounding performers of internationally-awarded Club Mwah! from Metro Manila. They will be performing in Davao and Tagum. The show is entitled Follies de Mwah which means in French as "Beautiful flowers". The show was dubbed as a cross of Las Vegas and British stage shows.

I got a chance to talk personally to the owner and founder of Club Mwah! Mr. Pocholo Malilin. He emphasized that the performance and productions of Club Mwah is high-end and very different from what we see in reality tv programs and movies. Philippine celebrities, ambassadors and royal family members from different countries watch Club Mwah! becuse of its prestige performers and production numbers. He said that his inspiration for having this event is the true meaning and essence of dancing and performing.

Club Mwah also received several awards both nationally and internationally. The club was awarded awarded as the Outstanding Theatre Club in Asia in the Asian Pacific Award Council in 2007 and received a Global Award of Excellence in the Theatre Club in 2008, which was awarded in Bangkok Thailand by the Asian Pacific Award Council.

Follies de Mwah concert ensures a dazzling and colorful entertainment of high-society level with a cheaper and convenient price tickets. It will show in Davao on August 19 at the CAP Auditorium and in Tagum on August 20 at the UM Gymnasium.

Ticket prices ranges Php. 500, Php. 800, Php. 1000 and Php. 1200. The performers of this show are same performers of the bar used by Banana Split every Saturday.

I Passed the Civil Service Exam

I cannot believed it. I actually passed the Civil Service exam last May 22, 2011. I never really expected this because I never had any formal review. Thank God! As you can see on the screen grab above, I am on sequence no. 106 and my examinee number is 203545. After two months, my certificate of eligibility will be released. I am so excited to apply in government agencies. As of now, I am still waiting for opportunities. Nevertheless, I am happy, glad, honored and I feel successful. Good luck to me in my next journey!

Rejection

According to wikipedia.org

Rejection is an interpersonal situation that occurs when a person or group of people exclude an individual from a social relationship

I want to share a very interesting but depressing quote..

I had immediate success in the sense that I sold something right off the bat. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and it really wasn't. I have drawers full of - or I did have - drawers full of rejection slips.
Fred Saberhagen

Each of us have many dreams. But dreams are just imaginary. I always thought that I am a skilled and talented individual. But the truth is... I wasn't. It is then I realized when for over many instances in my life where I dreamt of acceptance, all of them were rejections. Yes.. I was rejected. Each of them. Rejected! Rejected! Rejected! I keep on asking myself. What's with me? Am I not likeable enough to be accepted? or Am I just too full of myself?

Then, I realized that not all you wanted and needed will be yours. You have to be patient and persever in facing the realities of life. Right now, I am doing all my best that was left of me. I know that someday I will become successful in life.
