    Elphaba and Glinda: There’s No Place Like Home

    When the “Wicked” movie finally hit the big screen, I could barely contain my excitement. I wasn’t a big fan as in memorizing all the lines but I liked the fact that they’ll turn it into a movie. I’m more of a Wizard of Oz fan and it’s connected in some ways, anyway, so my […]

  • Merry-Go-Around at Art Fair Philippines 2026

    Merry-Go-Around at Art Fair Philippines 2026

    For me, Art Fair Philippines this year stood out not just for the artist and gallery lineup, but for its merry-go-round experience.
