victor is The MAGICIAN

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

world premiere of daing ng saging dance theatre project–exploring a new movement design called PUPPETRY of the BODY by eliciting the extremities as “puppets”

experience the space of plastic, sensuality of skin, the marriage of digital music and folkloric tradition of oral narrative; with the testosterone-driven choreography of an all-male dance ensemble– their enrgies exploding to their arm and leg puppets, their bodies move fiercely and tirelessly only to be still and to seem invisible before your very eyes

2. Samahan siya sa Choc Kis na magkape at huwag mo nang idiing nagmumukha na siyang anthropologist sa kakabasa niya.

4. Habang sa Café Ten Titas kayo, bagalan mo ang pag-kain, na kahit nakatayo na ang lahat at nakuha na yung Billy Gilman, magsabing “I’m not done” sobrang bagalan mong lagukin ang SML mo.

I.
Angels are a thing of old
Night’n day they’d fly, so i’ve been told
Greeting every moon and sun in gold
Every page and every fold
Looking rather gentle in their ways
Over sunny skies and rainy days

Last time an angel passed my window
Up he flew and with his arrow
Carved a smile upon my face, then
Arrows flung from out the morning broken
Struck my heart and bled it open.
