I Am A Rent-head!

And I am damn proud of it!!! I fell in love with RENT even before I saw the musical. I just heard then, the newly released CD of the musical being staged in New York. Suffice to say, I really fell in love with the music. Who wouldn't?!! Jonathan Larson (God rest his swet soul), wherever you are, I just want to say, "thank you for your music and you're the bomb!!!" I watched musical twice when it was staged here in Manila. The first time, I didn't know my hana yet. My thought bubble was, "ah, he sing pala". And years later, when it had a repeat, he was already my hana. Hehe! He said I had to watch it again, now that I know him and all. :) Yes, in case you didn't know...my hana played the part of Tom Collins (In the video below, he's the black guy with the beanie hat on). And yes, he had to kiss a guy, er, gay (Richie Chan who played the part of ANGEL). Hehe! This year, I watched Rent the Movie with my hana and 2 of the original members of the cast in Manila..Rachel Alejandro (Mimi) and JM Rodriguez (Mark). Of course, I respected that the three of them would have not so good reactions to the movie since they were in the musical and all. Can't blame them. Actually, nothing beats the actual musical. But I couldn't care less. The music of RENT is so captivating and, to this day, still sends chills down my spine. In fact, everyone (me included) in the movie house couldn't help but sing along! So for all the RENT-HEADS out there (Chari, Crystal, and Roni)and even for those who haven't seen RENT (F.Y.I. you're missing half of your life), pump up the volume and hit play. here's the movie cast of RENT singing SEASONS OF LOVE at the Ellen de Generes show in N.Y.C.(feel free to sing along!)...
